WAS TAX STAMPS IN

baa received 8100 worth of war tax
tamps, under authority given by the
county commissioners, for, as he em
phatically states, "the accommodation

file documents." Already he has been
applied to for stamps for wine. He
Is afraid that people will want him to
spar from his meager supply stamps
for various other articles taxable un
der the war act, and If the requests
were numerous it would not take long
to depict the little stock. The
stamps are in denominations of from
on to 80 cents.

RAISING MONEY FOR THE
CONVICTS' CHURCH EASY
. The committee which has in hand
the task of raising $100 as Kinston '
proportionate part of a fund to erect
an undenominational chapel on the
Stat prison farm at Tlllery, Hali
fax county, hss abandoned the idea
of holding a mass meeting to raise
; money, ; Substantial contributions
have already com in from some
sources, and the committee believes
that an appeal to fraternal orders,
the women's clubs, etc, wilt easily
bring the. fund up to the promised
am. In case a few dollars should
then remain to be raised, a coin col
' lection on Queen street would easily
secure the balance.

ONE OF MANY REASONS FOR
i A NEW COURT HOUSE HERE
This morning there were a score of
women' In attendance upon Superior
Court her, witnesses, defendants and
plaintiffs. About all of them were
respectable, and some of them of a
fair station in life. But all of them
were required to commingle with
strange white men and country Mucks
in the unheated corridor of the first
floor, take seats in the courtroom amid
. a masculine crowd, or seek refuge in
.the offices. The latter was the alter
native accepted by nearly all, and the
clerk's and sheriff's offices were lit
erally packed at one time with them,
the business of both offices being re
tarded by the congestion of guests.
Lenoir county's new courthouse, it
was sensibly remarked by one man
present; should when it is built in
another two or three years contain
waiting rooms for women. The con
dition tnday is not exceptional.
