Several of our State exchn have a list of "wood subscribers' that is, those who pay their sub scriptions in wood. It is dreadful to think of the effect that might be produced if all these subscribers should brincr in their wood at one time. Wilm ingto u Star. This shows how little our con- temporary knows about the sub- ject in hand. We will srive it a chromo if it can bring forward a well authenticated instance where any of the interesting class of which it speaks ever hauled anv wood. That is why they are called "wood subscribers." Landmark. The Morganton Star has a number of the same class of men "wood subscribers." Thev are the first to complain if the Star should be a little behind time, and every time we see them they will say : "You may look for that wood next week. Where do you want it de livered V9 Aud if that was our de pendence for fire we would freeze to death sure enough. Railroad Meeting Public Speak ing. Col. S. McD. Tate. D. C. Pearson. A.

Deo. 19th. Debate is invited and may be ex pected. To the Voters of Burke Count: Gentlemen : Some time ago, when the levying of a tax was hist spoken of I was bitterly opposed to any scheme by which a railroad was I ( to be built at the expense of the county, and some persous went so far as to doubt my motive in opposing the tax. Oa investigation I lind, from what I consider a very reliable source, that should the railroad be built as proposed it will be by a competing liue aud by a company amply able to carrv out the proiect and with no likelyhood of its beiug absorbed by the present system of railroads running through our county. Of course fifty thousand dollars to build and equip a railroad titty miles long m a mountainous country wouiu ue ed among the tax-payers of our county would be very little extra for each tax-payer, and nothing, we might say, considering we are able to levy a ikx from the railrcad com- pany more than sufficient to meet the ar interest on tne Donas Business is almost at a standstill now, and unless we can get something in the shape of internal improvement, I don't see what our citizens are to do, especially the laboring classes ; and everybody knovvns that to build a road like the above will cost over one million dollars, and will add over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to our taxable property, then by euven- tually decreasing our taxes, ..Lastly, it remains with the people of the county as to how the affairs shall.be administered, and if we ex ercise" the same care we exercise in our own private affairs in the man-, agemeut of the county's business, theie should not be the slightest trouble in irnvmcr our debts within tDe allotted time without injuring the - ' B ml smallest tax-payer in the county This opportunity seems to be tne only chance to get a railroad, aud as our neigboring counties are holding out great inducements, we must look the thing squarely in the face and vote accordiniilv. In conclusion I would say that for fear that my influence might, be mis directed, 1 take this method of in iorminf mv friends of the stand I take in the. matter of voting a fifty thousand dollars tax to help build a rail marl !uordiii to the plans set forth iu the call for the election. TViankinf the Star for its kind ness in allowing me the use of its columns, I am Very Respectfully, JohnTull. lr Arbuekles Ariosa Roasted Cof fee fresh and line for sale at R. B. Brittain & Co.'s From Rutherford Colics?.

We predicted for it nuths uig short of a grand success, in the beaming. I wonld like to say something about the railroad, but I expect your waste-basket is now filled with "tin guns" upon that subject. Though I am sorry to inform you that there are some among us who are opposed to the prosperity of Burke county. One man said : "Railroads hain't no count no how, 'cause I can haul my truck to and from Charlotte cheaper than on the railroad." I bid the "gentle men" good-day at once, because I was afraid he would convince me that railroads were a public nuisance.

The good that has been aud yet will bo accomplished at this fount ot knowlege, eternity alone will tell.
