That was done upon the suggestion ot Mr. Gattls. - There was a disposition to reduce the merchants' tax, and Mr, Watts even wanted to strike it out altogether, but it went through without change. The bouse yesterday determined to go back to the revenue act of 1801 for the questions to be asked in arriving at the incomes to be taxed. ' That was Judge Graham's proposi tion - and after a somewhat lengthy argument it finally went through. The only question omitted is the one concerning interest on United States and State bonds.

Washington Messengers Shad and herring are beginning to make their appearance in the market in Quanti ties, and daily our fishmongers are shipping them north, but the price is ao high none but the more well-to-do of our citizens can afford to buy them. We met a colored man Saturday after noon taking home a large roe shad, for which he said he had paid 80 cents. Asking him if he could afford to eat shad, he replied: "Boss. I get 60 cents, a day, and shad is cheaper than meat. You see this is the way of it, ' I can stew this shad and put a pint of , molasses in the gravy, and . while the children eat the gravy me and the old woman can enjoy 1 shad, and it will feed my family four days.

' - Favetteville Observer:' Dr. A.8. - Rose, county coroner, was called to Rockfish Friday night to hold an In quest over the body of a negro named Paton Cromartle, who was found dead in the woods near Nunnaley's store, on the Wilmington road. Cromartie had been engaged in hauling timber ' to Rockfish creek for rafting, and was ' using a long wagon and team hired - from Mr. Paul JNichols. He was last seen Uhursday, and not returning Friday Mr. Nichols instituted a search.: Mr. Nunnaley found Cromar-, tie lying near his wagon dead, and , the mules, which had broken loose, tangled in the harness nearby. It waa evident that in adjusting the log on r . the wagon the big beam had broken . loose from its upright position and fallen on him, causing Instant death, and the coroner's jury returned a ver dict to this effect. A curious thing about it is the fact that no sign of a ' - bruise or wound could be found on the body, though the nose had been bleed- v lug. , , . . . . , Lincolnton, Feb. 24.

His right leg was broken above the knee, the left leg and right arm were almost ground off under the wheels, necessitating amou- - tation. He was also bruised about the face and head. Mr. McCoy was taken to the home of his brotner-in- aw, Mr. Jack Critz. who lives a few yards from the scene of the accident. where every attention was given him, : but he died soon after the limbs- were amputated and his ' wounds were ' dressed.

It has been full v demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that med ical men have to contend with, can be ' prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been ob served that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fa'iy proven In many thousand of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip In recent years, and can be relied upon witn implicit conn.'.ence.
