Ono of tli iiiystorios that lias hafllod invostipttion is the "staktHl lino" in th wosk'rn jittrt of Holx'son county. This line runs nearly north and .south with a '.'arii tim of about four degrees from the ti tie meridian and has been located for several miles. It crosses the Atlantic Coast Line near Wakulla. At intervals ot about thirty yards there is a fork ed light wood stake and about every hundred yards there are four forked Mnkes, as if indieat ing the four cardinal oints of the compass. This staked lino was discovered by the earliest settlers in colonial times and its history is as much a mystery now as it was l.0 years ago, Every stake is forked and sunk about eip-nteen inches in the earth. This line may have been established hundreds of years ago. In connection with this is another mystery. Iletween the I3ig Kaft and Little Kaft swamps hundreds of fireplaces have been discovered along the line of rail way. It is reasonable to say that thousands of these places exist iu what is known as the "Black Fork", between the swamps. These fireplaces are all of the same size and shape and are excavated tothedepthof about a foot and generally rest upon the clay subsoil. T'he lo cality named was evidently pop ulated by many thousand of lople in a past age. Whether there bo any connection between the "staked line" and this lo cality no one can tell. What is remarkable is the uniformity in size of these fireplaces. They are about three feet in length by two feet in width. In seel uded t-pot on t ho eat side of Galltorry swamp in Cnmberland county is a ritnilar collection of fire places. Mounds also exist in this region, and I have examined tho tkulla in many of them and they are all Caucasion not ao Indian skull among them. In one moond I found i piece of chalk flint from which ar row points had been flaked off. This Hint is found, I believe, only in tho cliffs of Dover, in England. How cHtiiH it here ? Lumberton Argus.

A Wauuinfrton dinpatch says tliat a curtain change in tho boundarr lino, as agrend between Virginia and Tennessee has just been ratified by congress. This recalls a pood story. For years the town of Bristol, in East Tennessee, has had the unique distinction of being in two States. There aro two separate municipal corporations, ono under tho laws of Tennessee and the other under the laws of Virginia. They are known as Bristol, Tetiu., and Bristol, Va. The corporation of Bristol, Tenn., cxtendod to the cast curbing on Main street, the principal business thor oughfare of tbe twin cities. Ioth corporations wished to have this street that is, they considered it oeceaaary but how to go about to Jivide the expense attached was tho question to be considered. The city of Bristol, Tenn , did not care to pay for paving the entire thorongbfare, up to the sidewalk on the Bristol, V a., side, while the cor poration of Bristol, Vs., could not step across the imaginary line and t-xpend city funds in lennesseo. This was a tangled proposition for the fathers of the two cities. It was suggested that the matter be taken to the legislature and have the Ten mseee general assembly cede one- half of Main street to Virginia. The sister state was tickled to death to accept the proposition, as Governor Tyler told Governor McMillian over the telephone the other day. The Tennessee solons pawed the bill. It was engrossed and sent to tbe Vir ginia general assembly. These law makers accepted the gift, and then congress was asked to ratify the ac tion of the two legislatures. Ihe result of tho work is that the boundary line between Virginia and Teuoessee is in the centre of Main street. There is now an ehctuc street car line on this thoroughfare, with one rail in Tennessee and tbe other in Virginia. Each ctato will collect one half ot tbe taxes on the street railway property. The car line runs along tor a mile and a half in the two states. . Many interesting stories are told of complications in the past ctused by the boundary Hue. Chicago Iiecord. i i. i ...

All along the news from South Africa has been mainly nnreliable and iiisuflieient lccanse doctored by the censor of the press. The news in yesterday 'a Messenger was that the Botrs were again fighting the British and that the Utter had lost 20 killrd and wounded, and of these two (fticers were killed and three wounded. Thore wag heavy fight ing at two other points. So there is no surrender, no peace, but war and attended with kili ng. All along the fact and fiction bive been blend ed and widely distributed. London Troth is disposed to "turn on the light, and it is both amusing and informing. It gives tbe following as a r al picture of the situation in South Africa lattorly : "lhe telegrams in regard to De Wet are an instance of the invent ! zeal of South African correspon dents. They told us that be was cor nered ; that, deserted by his follow ers, and wilu a few horses nnable to move owing to fatigue, his rap tare was a mere question of boors. One correspondent variod this by an account of his having escaped In a boat set oss Orange river; another announced that ho pansed his nights wot ping. All this was dinpellcd by tho oflicial announcement that lie and hi. fun es, re enforced by these of Ilertzog, had crossed the Orange Kivcr, after an engagement in which ie had captured sixty of our sol. diurs and wounded or killed thirty. Ktiiters correspondent now tele graphs to us the consolatory infor mation that Mr. Stcyn, who is with Do Wet. looks "thoroughly miser able." We are surprised to learn, and gratified, too, that tho Boers have V.0,000 fighting men who are 'batlling, bewildering, wearing ont, and gradually killing 200,000 Brit ish soldiers. From the very first the Boers have outwitted, outfought and outtnanenvered their liovine enemies. Man to man, they would ave extinguished the British army moro timn a year ago. hven now, were the British not moro than five to their one, they would drive them nto the st a within two months. This we take from tho ablo and gen erally reliable Washington Post that keeps posted as to atiairs at the seat of war. Wilmington Messenger. Bad "Goings On" on the Oceanic. The Uev.

Mr. Aldtidge is young and a na'ive ot Gotland A reporter who met the minister on the pier aeked how he liked the trip, and this is what he said : "Tho goings on in the reading room were scandalous. 1 observed men and women kiss and bug each other unrestrainedly. It seems to mo that young girls crossing the ocean should be under the super vibiun of persons of character. "I looked into the steerage and saw a dance going on. It was dis gusting.

In his "Eccentricities of Genius" Major Botid tells the pathetic story of iUlph Waldo Emerson's last lecture, delivered in tbe Old South church in Boston for the fund to save that building from demolition : "As ho began reading bis lecture the audience was very attentive. After a few moments he lost his place, and hisgranddaughter,sittiog in the front row of seats, gently stepped toward him and reminded him that ho was lecturing, lie saw at onco that he was wandering, and, with the most charming, character. istic, apologetic bow be rrcumeU his place, an incident that seemed to effect the audience more th.o anything else that conld possibly have occurred. A few moments later he took a piece of manuscript in bis band, and, turning around th it, laid it on a side table. J ost then one of the audience said to m (I think it was Mrs. Li verm ore or Mrs. Liowe.) 'L lease have the audi- euca pas right out,' and, rushing op to Mr. bmerson, said, 1 thank you so much for that delightful lecture then, turning around, waved the audience to go out.

THE NEW HEALTH LAW. Important Provisions Added by the Legislature. The recent Legislature amended the health law in important partic ulars. A new creation of the amend od bill is a "county sanitary corn niittee," composed of the board of county commissioners and two physicians who are endowed with definite responsibilities and powers. Heretofore the law haa been defect ive in not providing proper ma chinery for its administration by the counties. The new law remedies the defects to a great' extent, and it is believed will be a great Improve ment over the old. Section 5 of the new law makes the following provisions, which are of general interest. I "There shall be an auxiliary (ward of health io each county in the Stato, whose function shall be, upon tbe call of the chairman of the board of county commissioners, to advise the county authorities in all matters per taming to the pnbhc health. These boards shall bo composed of all registered physicians resident in the couDty. From this board two phy siciaos sball be seiectod, one by the chairman of the board of county commissioners and one by the mayor of the county town, who, together witu the board of county commis sioners, shall constitute the county sanitary committee, of which com in it tee tbe chairman of tho board of county commissioners shall bo ex ollicio chairman. Their term of ollice shall be coterminous with that of tho commissioners with whom thoy sorvo,and when on duty they shall receive the same com pensation as is received by connty commissioners. The county sanitary committeo shall have the immediate caro and responsibility of the health interests of their county. They shall make such rules aud regula tions, pay such feus ani salaries and impose such penalties as in their judgment may be necesary to pro tect and advance the public health. And any person violating such rules and regulations shall be guilty of a mindotneanor and may bo fined not exceeding fifty dollars or imprison ed not exceeding thirty days. They shall elect a registered physician, not a member of the eaniUry com mittee, to serve two years, with the title of county superintendent of ucaitn, and snail nx nis compeus tion. The duty of the county super intondent of health shall be to carry out as far as possible such work as may be directed by the county sani tary committee and by the State board of health. He shall always promptly advise the secretary of tho btate board of health of the unusual prevalence of disease in his county, especially of typhoid fever, scarlet tever, dipthens, yellow fever, small pox and cholera. lie shall make the medico legal post mortem ex aminatiou for coroners' inquest, at tend the inmates of the home for the aged and infirm and the prisoners in the jiil or convict camp of this county, and make examinations of lunatics for commitment. lie shall be the sanitary inspector of the home and jail, including convict camps of his county, making monthly reports to the board of county commusion rs and to the secretary of the State board of health. ' More Bond Suits. Jt. . it tno Wilkes connty bond caxe, which baa become a matter of na tional interest, has been decukd as the press reports indicate, it will in all likelihood invalidate $GOO,noo worth of bonds io this State. It is well known that tbe conten tion against the payment of the Stanley county bonds i practically the same as in the Wilkes case and tbe Stanley paople have beeu resting on their oars awaiting the decision in that case. Now that it it stated that the Wilkes case has been de cided against the bondholders it is aid that the Stanley people will im mediately take the right up and re fuse to pay any further railroad tax. Tho Sun reporter learos to-day that similar action will also be taken by citizens in Morgan, Gold II ill and Salisbury townships, through which townships the l ad kin road runs, ibis comes from a perfectly reliable source and there is no doubt as to its authenticity. Aa t matter of fact the Kowan citizens who are behind the movement in the town ships referred to have long had such a courso in miod and have practical ly retained counsel for the fight Inch they propose to make, r urn the Salisbury Sun.

Tuesday's dispatch s from 8 nn r set, Ohio, tell this story : Seven bandits partially wrecked the State Bank of Somerset early to day, by exploding a heavy charge o nitro glycerine in the vault doors secured 5,000 ; appropriated two livery rig, held a pofso of citizens at bay, and escaped In the face ot a heavy firo. Bonds and securities to the amount of ISO.OOO and $5,000 In gold coin were overlooked by the bandits, the bank was fully in sored and its business will not be interruped. A heavy explosion in the bank buildiog shortly before 2 a. rn aroused citizens living in the vicinity ot tbe bank of Somerset. John Hayes, whose home is directly op poeite the bank building, raised i window and quietly observed four men stationed in front of the hank. He saw that the whole front of the two story brick building io which the institution was located, bad been shattered and. believing be could frighten away tho men, who, it was evidont, was much alarmed by the strength of the explosion, hastily donned his clothes and sallied lorth. When he reached tho sidewalk he was challenged, and, under tho in fluence of four rifles pointed at his bead, again mounted tho stairs and secured arms. Meanwhile many other persons began to appear in the darkened streets of tho villsire. William Lovett opened fire on the bandits with a r i tie, burins aim was not of the best and his shots only served to draw the fire of tho rob. bcrs. The shooting soon became general as citizens crept toward the hank from all directions and tho robbers evidently began to think of escape. At a signal from the four on guard, three other emerged from io debris of the hank, bearing several sacks into which they had hurriedly placed their loot. The robbers were under good discipline and their leader gave his orders like military leader. "All ready, forward, march," he cried. Single file they matched under the hadows of the trees which lined the idewalks, turned a corner, climrd nto the rigs and dished away in a northerly direction. Citizens took op the chuso and at 4 a. in. found the rigs, deserted along the roadside. I he sheriff of Perry c iiioty had been notilied by tele phone and arrived at daylight with a pack ot bloodhounds which were used in the chase. Tho roblerg were successfully traced around town by the hounds. It was found they had bruken open a blacksmith shop to secure tools and then had taken the rigs, in which they had escaped, from a livery stable near the hank. Our Demands on Morocco. Upon beiog advised by the navy department that tbe .New 1 oik had arrived at Tangier, the state dt part mint immediately sent a cablegram to Consul General Gumraere direct ing him to board the New York at once and go forward on his special miseioii. Something is left to Mr. (i ntiiiiiere's discretion as to action on the details, and it is for him to say whether be will be satisfied if the sultan and court meet him half way at Mazargan, or whether he will proceed, according to the original programme, directly to Morocco City. It probably will make no difference in principle, provided the necessary explanations are afforded for the treatment of our consul has received, and provision be made for settling the claims. Ibeee are not very large in the aggregate. I rob ably $o,000 will cover them all, or levis than half ao indemnity that was summarily collected by Germany a short time ago on a precisely similar class of claim ; but it can be stated that if the court does not appear at Mazargan by the third week in April, then Consul General (i lim ine re will go to Morocco City.

It has long lxen acknowledged that the relationship between em ployer and employe, in North Car olina is more satisfactory than iu any other State iu the Union. The condition of its laboring ele ment is better, all things consider ed, than in any other StHte. lhe recent action of Iortb Car olina cotton mill owners, in voluri tarily reducing working hours and prohibiting child laior in mills un der certain ago and providing lor compulsory education of the chil dren of its operatives is attracting a great deal of attention in other por tions of the country. (rontons Magazine, which is do voted to sociological and political problems has this to say : "This is the most remarkable thing of its kind that ever occurred. Individual employers have voltinta rily reduced the hours of labor and otherwise improved the conditions of their laborer, but never before did manufacturers organize to bring about a general shortcninir of the lours of labor, restriction of tho em ployment of children and compiil sory education for working chil dren. If the above is true, to the manufacturers of North Carolina belongs tho honor of initiating such a wise and beneficent policy among employers. It is rather natural that the people of the South should be opposed to oetrie.ting the hours of abor hy law, because by tradition and education they are opposed to Stato interference. The only way to prevent luch legislation is f r mannfactnrers throughout the Smith to adopt tho programme of their North Carolina brethren. If is not tnportant to laborers which wav the shorter day comes : it is only iuiinitt ant that it come. In proMiniz vol untarily to adopt a ten hour sjstt tn, North Carolina manufacturers are king the position of the nal lend ers of social progrets in the South." Charlotte News. Sad Accident.
