THE LUTHEUAN COLLEGE
Hom t hnnaea Hade In the Original
Plane Mr. II Inn Expected Here
Wltblnlen Days, When Work Will
Be Commenced.
Rev. Mr. King, of tbe Southern
Lutheran College, has been in Peurjr
ejlrania for a few days past, con.
sultioK tbe architect relative to
some changes in the original plans
of the buildings which it has been
thought advisable to make. It Las
been on account of these proposed
changes that the work has been de.
layed on the grounds here. After
the plana had bren adopted, the
board saw where imprcvements
could be made, and the architect has
now embodied them in the revised
plans. Mr. King is expected in
Charlotte within the next ten dj,
when the work will be commenced
with as little delay as possible.
The excavations for the founda
tion lines have already been dug,
and these will net be materially
changed. It is reasonably snre that
the college buildings will be ready
for tbe propo-ed opening of the big
institution next October. Tbe
committee on building wants to be
right and to make no mistake at the
start, and in this the members have
disp layed sound judgement. Once
tbe work begins it will be pushed
rapidly to a finish, and next Octo
ber will see a oluster of magnificent
buildings on the wooded bill over
looking Charlotte from the east.

WHAT THE RE TURKS SHOWS.
Preciona Binall Populist Vote for
Republican In the Slntb, Elcbtn,
Firth and Heeond.
A post-mortem examination of
the elec'ion returns disclose some
interesting facts. These retnrns
show that in the five congressional
districts carritd by the Populists tbe
total vote received by the Populist
candidates was 99,531. In these
d'striots McEinley received 77,179
votes. It is fair to assume that
75,000 of these votes were cast by
Kepnblioau9 for the Populist candi
dates. In return for these 75,000
Republican votes it appears that the
Populists gave Pearson, in the
ninth, 140 votes ; Linney, in the
eighth, 750 votes ; Settle, in tbe
flf.h, none; White, in the second,
none. In other words, in carrying
out tbe "arraugemsnt" made by tbe
two State committees, the Populis s
received 75 000 votes from Repub
licans, and gave in return less than
1,000 votes.
These returns also show that if
each of the three parties had nomi
nate:) straight tickets in each of the
congressional districts every Popn
list candidate would have been de
feated by more thin 5,000 pluralit ,
and tbat the Republicans would
have caniel the first, tbird and
sixth district, and the Democrats
would have carried the fourth and
seventh districts, making tbe repre
aentaiion stand in the F.f y-Gfth
Congress tlx Republican and three
Democrt's.
If these facts have no itflience
upon tbe present si uation, tbey
may be prnfi'b!e in shapifg tbe
make-up of fo'ure "arrangement. '

drawn from the affair is the super

A negro farmer was selling bis
cotton on the wharf this week
when the following conversation en
sued ;
"Say, boas, I'ae got a bale of coU
ton out here, what you gimme for
it?"
"Ia it good cotton, Jake ?"
"Yes boss, nice cotton, no trash
in it."
"Well, we will giye 7 1-8 for to
day."
"Look here boss, I thought yo's
gwine to give me 10 cents for cot
ton, if we 'lected Mr. Kinley."
" Well, Mr. McKicley has not
taken charge yet."
"Well bots, yous gwine togim ms
gold, ain't yer ?''
'No, Jake, we will have to p-ty
you in goods or silver."
"Why look here boss, I thought
tou was gwine to give ns gold for
cotton ef we 'lected Mr. Kinley."
"Tbet ia so, but remember Mr.
Mr. McKinley is not in power jet."
"Well boss, what you ax fer flour
'oday ? ' "Well, flour is rising very
rapidly but we sell it at $3 today."
"Jeru6alum 1 boas, fore we 'iected
Mistah Kinley, we could buy flour
fur $2, and git 8 cents fer cotton."
"Wll, the cause of tbat is there
is a heavy demand fjr our wheat in
Europe, and most of the American
mills have a supply of cotton on
hand."
"Well, I dou't keer nothin' about
dit boss, but ef dat is de bess Mr.
Kinley can do, next time I sball
vote fer Miatah Brine."

Tax Payer Take Notice Pantivcly
I lie Last rail.
My duties m Sheriff of Cabarrua
county, haviug this day ceased
(which dutiea I have tried faithfully
and honeatly to perform) there rt
mains nothing else for me to do, no
public duties for me, except to col
lent tbe balance of the taxes for
189G. The taxes for 1895 were
probably more nearly all collected
than nsual. Still there were mora
insolvents than should be, hence I
propose, if poaaible, to reduce the
list for 189C. As I am compelled
to work for a support for my family
and expect to leave Concord the first
of January, 1897. 1 most earnestly
rt quest every tax payer to come at
once and settle same, otherwise I am
compelled to come or send a deputy
collector, who will most positively
(wherever the law will allew) at
tach cost to your taxes. If you
can pay your taxes with additional
cost, most assuredly you can pay
the tax without the coat and I cer
tainly prefer your keeping tbe cost,
I take this method of again giving
you publh notice tbat the law has
been changed. Your taxes are due
before the close of the year and I
propose, as fast as possible, to en
fcrce the law. A word to the wise
ia sufficient.
Yours moat respectfully,
John A. Sims,
Tax Colleotor.
