NO DUTIES OS PHlLU'l'IJiE U00DS The Supreme Court of the United States has rendered a do cision that comes down to com mon sense conceptions. It is the case in which Eciil J Pepke, a soldier in a South Dakota volun teer regiment, brought dia monds from the Philippines. He was required to pay a duty on them. He appealed to the circuit court and lost his case but carried it to Supreme Court and won. Chief Justice Puller and Justices Brown, Feckham, Harlan and Brewer formed the majority, while Justices White, Shiras, McKenna and Gray dis sented. It is held that in the ab sence of anything in tho treaty to tho contrary tho Philippines are a part of tho United State in which ca 1 hero can be no tariff discr:in'ri!.tioi.s. Queen WUJ.o'iuiBn, of Holland, and her h . ,b:uul are having rough sailing over tho matrimo nial sea. Rumors of divorce proceeding, duels, etc., are rife. There is some uncertainty about the verity of tho rumors, howev er. It is even said that the un worthy husband went so far as to slap the queen. It would seem that when a fellow has the honor to be husband to a popu lar and worthy queen he might at least be kind to her. Congressman Kitchen rushed in a bill on tho opening of the lower house of Congress for the repeal of the 15th amendment to the constitution of the United States. It looks like making an early pull and we hope it will be a pull till the war-spite meas ure is forever buried. Why should a state have the farcical power to regulate the franchise in its own domain as to all the races but one ? We learned beforehand that the President's message was go ing to be Immensely long, too long for us to read and condense in time for prompt issue. We therefore have secured copies for our readers which may be read at leisure and by parts or subdivisions as desired. The general comment is quite com plimentary to the President and the message is said to be very readable in every part and a very able document. Our Congressman, tho Hon. Theo.

Profitable Advertising. "Ready wit, a smile, and good appearance are often a fortune." "He who would win the world must court it as a lover." Or oves Tasteless Chill Tonic. A Hubble About ts Burst. Some weeks ago we were printing daily advertisements from different ladies offering ladies steady employment at $20 per month to do writing. These advertisements came from ladies whom it was known meant no wrong, and remittances to cover; the cost of their insertion accom i , . , went around in the office, "where does the swindle come iu ?"for it was realized that the world is full of women who would jump at the chance to do writing at homo for half the money offered, and that this thing was too good to be true. Tnese advertisements were traced through their senders to the Amos Ownes Cherry Tree Company, of Henrietta, Ruther ford county, which has been doing a land office business in South Carolina and Georgia, as well as m this State, according to a plan which is outliued in an article copied in this paper from The York ville, S. C. Enquirer. Until, however, the scheme had been fully developed and there was an undoubted basis of fact to rest an accusation upon, we did not foel warrented in utter ing a warning to the readers of The Observer against this enter prise; but now ladies who have sent (their $12 apiece to the com pany and have received none of the promised work, are clam oring for the return of their money and we have sufficient evidence to justify us in saying that this is a good thing to let alone. Meanwhile the iconcern has changed ownership again, for the third or fourth time, and has transferred its base of oper ations from Henrietta to Ellen boro, and it will not be long now until the bubble bursts.

Price 50 cents A Plain Tali to Tai Payers. I have just completed my rounds vis itirig each township to oollect taxes an the law directs, and in so doing, with tbe exoeption of No's. 6 7 aud 8 town ship, I did not get a brownie. Now I want to say right here that the laxes must be paid by January, lbt. and be sides it don't work a hardship en any one to pay their taxes in the full. It seems that people have got it in their minds that they can pay their taxes when it suits them, and in fact it has been thrown at me hundreds of times that some of the biggest tax payers dou't pay till the last minute aud they miuht as well keep their money as others. Now I will say ris.Lt here that if you are a big tax payer or it you 'ei small tax payer yoa will be expected to pa between now and January. The law, as it is now, requires me to make set tlement in January and if people will come m and settle with me 1 will have no trouble in settling with the State, bat evidently there must be a new leal turned in regard to paying taxes iu Ca barrus and unless there is a big change I expeot to advertise and sell property the first of January. A groat many think sheriff? em't sell leal estate be fore May, but I want to say right here to all suoh that on and after Nov. 1st I can sell any property in the oounty for taxes. Now a word to those who only pay a poll; Law 1901, O 8!l, Seo. 13, says that no person shall be entitled to vote unless he shall have paid his poll tax for the previous year on or before the first da; of May in the year in whi h he offers to vote. Now unless there is a great change on that line there are n great many that will bu denied thai privilege next j ear Now It t me say in U can Jur I dou't wunt to make cost on any one and earnestly request nil persons to come np promptly &nd pay your taxes and yon will feel better and it will make years you t On Jellies - preserves and picklea, prod a thiu cowling of FUBE REFiiiED PARAFFINE Will kwp them iirniolutRlT motaturo and acid proof, ru re it fined PurntlinB walno uwliil in a doiea other wh.ii ehout the bourn, l-'ull direction In tmcb pocJcutfu, Mold everywhere, STANDARD OIL CO.
