How It Will be When the New Tax
Law liofta lulo Kit cl Sonic i'l
urea for lDiomllng- t'uiidldut to
Digest.
Thk News learns that from one to
a dozen men in each township are
setting their pegs for a strong pull
for the oillce of tax collector under
the uew law, and The News Is sur
prised, for it can seo no causo for a
scramble for these offices. The con
ditions surrounding the office of
township tax collector under the
new law are u n i.j uo, to say the least.
The collector will havetogivea tre
mendous bond and he responsible
for every cent of taxes iu his town
ship, to earn, in many instances, less
than $ 100. The collection of taxes in
Charlotte township alone, w ill bo
profitable, but the law provides that
the sheriff Khali collect taxes in this
township. The law gives the tax
collectors three per cent on collect
ions. They have to give a bond just
louble the amountt of the taxes of
their respective townships, and the
way Thk Nkws has figured it out ih
this: 'I he basis upon which the
collections are to b made and bonds
given, Is the tax l. port of Is!K), Mate,
county, road snd school. Phis tola,

A ood Time In More for th Old
Veterans.
Col. K. D. Hall, of Wilmington,
has been appointed Adjutaut General
of the Old North Htate Holdiers'
Home and Conlederate Encampment.
Two years ago a convention of the
disabled veterans and pensioners of
North Carolina was held at Raleigh, I
for the purpose or petitioning trie
Legislature, then in session, to In
crease the amount of the pension
fund, the sum at that time being to
tally inadequate to alford the disa
bled aud destitute veterans anything
like adequate relief. In this effort
they were parti illy successf u', as Hie
amount was increased from about
35,(KK) to between $S0,(K) and $100,000.
There are now l,.Wt disabled and des
titute soldiers reported and 1!,530
widows and the average per capita is
very small. At the con volition al
luded to an assoc iation of the Con
federate veterans of the htate was or
ganized. Mr. Julian h. Carr, of Dur
ham, was- made president and under
his able and munificent administra
tion much pood has been done, par
ticularly the getting into shape the
pr qiosilion to establish a Soulier's
Home in Raleigh, where a limited '.
uumher may be cared for. At the j
s.m; time aid place an association
of tlm pensioners of the htate was
i
formed and Mr. V H Hamilton, of
ake county, was made chairman of
the executive committee. The ob-
jectof this committee is to carry out :
the plaiiH of the association, allot
which ls to have an annual reunion
aud encampnieut of the Htaij pen
sioners. It lias been decided, says
the ilmii.gtou Rbview, to have the
reunion on the coast and Col Hall
thinks it will he held some time in
J uly or August on the Hound.
Trolley Mire.
One of the things that will have to
be borne In mind In the construction
of tho electric street car line in this
city is the importance of an abso
lutely perfect adjustment of the
trolly wire. One of tho most exas
perating accidents that happen in
connection with the trolly system of
propel 1 1 ng electric cars is tho killing
of horses by the braking of the trol
ley wire. The frequonce of this cas
ualty ih somewhat surprising. In
the city of Newark, N. J., it has hap
pened at least twice miice New Years,
in one instance, however, the animal
being merely thrown sonseloss to the
ground by contract with thepondent
wire. Iu Cleveland, Ohio, says a cor
respondent of the New York Times,
there have been within two years
four horses killed in just this waj
The experiment, as a whole, in Cleve
land is far from being satisfactory,
it appears. The list of persons run
over by these cars included t le presl
dentof the street railroad himself.
We recently referred to ths presta
tion of the entire overhead wire s
tern in Albany by reason of a fill o'
four inches of snow ami the attend
ing paralysis of t he elect no car .ys-tern.
