He was borp; March 15, 1895 and although be did not stay on earth loug, his sweet, loving disposition and baby ways won the hearts of all who knew him. The flower of the home, joy of the parents, and pride of brothers and sisters, he was taken too soon, it seemed, and almost broke our hearts, yet God in his infinite power and goodness knows best, and as we journey on through life without the dear little one, hearts sad and weary, God will ever romfort and guide. The sweetest pleasures are the shortest. Such was his 4ife -of short du ation and perfect purity and loveliness. Be comforted, sad herrts, remem bering that Little Treasure is now at the beautiful gates, waiting for you. F. B. . ' On Sunday evening, February Gtb, at his home in Averasboro Mr. F. A.

Thb News & Observer fought the lease of the North Carolina rail road to the Southern Railroad Com pany and has urged that the lease should be repealed by this legislature and for this opposition the Southern refused to grant the editor and staff of that paper passes for 1897 over the company s roads. The people of North Carolina are with Mr. Josephus Daniels, the editor, in the position he has taken. A pass over a road does not buy every man; and it is a very sorry man that will be bought with a pits. . . ' ' " Mr Norman E.

He is from Sampson county and commenced making cuts with his knife only a few years ago while at work on the Caucasian at Clinton when edited by Senator Butler. ; " A petition, signed by a large number of the voters of the county, has been presented to the legislature asking that body to release ex-Sheriff C. McArtan from the payment of a certain amount of taxes due the coun ty and which he has not collected because the tax books were burned when the court house was burned. A bill to relieve him is now pending and we trust it will pass. No one ques tions the integrity of Sheriff McArtan and if the tax books had not been burned he would have collected them but as': all evidence of indebtedness for that year due by the : tax payers was destroyed by the fire he had :no . means of collecting them Relieving public officers is not a prop er thing to do, ( we think; but it has been a custom to do so and it is noth ing but right that he should be treat ed as other officers of the county have been, and beside he could not collect because the books were burned. Ir some young men had more religion and not so much "gab'' and critici m for those who profess to be followers of Christ, they would not be always making unbecoming re marks about every thing that- fails to be just as they think it should1 The fact is,; there are some people who don't believe in anything that tends to make people better, but on the other hand, if they oottld pall down the whole plan of salvation they would do so.

L. Swinson, populist, of Wayne, was elected tothat position. . Recent ly all has not been pleasant between the pops and rads. The rads wanted to put two negro cleiks under Mr. Swinson, and he refused to allow thernj to work in his office. The rads then tried to foice them on him but he held firm a-nd said they could not come in. Then the rads got mad and said they would repeal the office of enrolling clerk and put Swinson out of a job, and introduced a bill to that effect which is now pending. j Mr. Swinson is a Butler populist and his friends held a caucus Satur day and pledged him their support.' Mr. Swinson made a statement to the caucus that eight clerks, each drawing a salary of $5 a day, more than he needed had been put in his office. J Forty dollars a day for nothing is a considerable amount taken from the tax payers just to feed a few hungry office seekers, and not satisfied with this they want to increase it to 50 per day by the addition of two ne gro clerks.
