HiiM Ml A movement is on foot and it will result we hope in a bill to be passed by the legislature for the betefib of Concord in point of health and the lai.d owners financially along Irish Buffalo near the town. . It is clearly a stagnant miasma breeding condition that exists ' : i! ! .:'"! I . i along the creek near the town. It is proposed to allow the commissioners tolay a county tax of 5 cents on the $100 wc rth of j 'prop erty and 15 cents on the poll for all Concord and to include a tax on the land lying 'contiguous to the stream, said tax to create a fund on which to draw to have all obstructions removed from the creek and otherwise to facilitate the flow of the water! j so as to deepen the channel, J then all holes made by removal of be drained and filled J boil to Full assurance is ielt that by, treating the channel thus from a point about Braflord's Mill to ; a! point one and one-half miles aboye the railroad bridge will sufficiently deepen the channel to allow the desired drainage. ' i I The bill will probably con template a continuation i of j the taxation when needed to keep up the condition. , j j If the experiment which can hardly be called an experiment even, proves greatly beneficial it will be a good starter for the nec essary work of the kind all over the county. Few enterprises! are more meritorious than this 'and it is hoped that it will meet with gen eral favor.: JTWO QUEsriOWS SET1XED. Theyt settled it over there, and you can put down that thiej 20th century will feegv in Charlotte on anury 1st, 1901 The Observer di6pc8es"of our query, too: , ''Where does light go when it goes put and it does it off hand, half-cocked and dead easy. Here is ! the answer: uIt goes, out." That settles it, but it reminds us of a gentleman in the upper part of Stanly county "who propounded the question to a rprofetieional man, who he thought "waa the most intelligent man in the community: "What is evolutlori ?? The professional man called his -attention to the well known fact that by an ingenious process of i i mtta morphosls the polliwog doffs the caudal appendage and takes the form of a toad, the bound of a kan .; garoo, and the voice that gives it the not inappropriate name "bullfrog." From-this patent and potent illus tration the professional man: pn tieedeclto lead the questioner into the labyrinths orevolying, : : . I 1 I rious transitions through which the monkey cor ea ont without a tail and looking for the world like the new American proteges entailed by the war with Spain All this was 4 ce tine rather tedious for the q ues- tioner, who suddenly stopped the professional. man and said: "I ece don't know a thing about it. till you what eTolution is, I'll it's evolution, by gum. That's what is. n THE UBB1T ACT PARSED.
