It was creditable to eentlemen
lorming the late building commit
tee of the jail to receive such a
trust it does not reflect on them.
But why did not the majority of
the last Legislature put that trust
in the hands of the county com
missioners, which is usual? But it
was the Legislature of 1895.

Federal Court Clerk I'lUtei'sou Icatl.
Mr. Robert O. Patterson, clerk
of the Uuited States court at
Abbeville, died last Saturday
evening. His death was sudden
and unexpected. He bad just re
turned to his home iu Asheville
from Swain county, says the Citi
zen, and had goue into the bath
room to take a bath. Mrs. Patter
sou, thinking her husband was re
maining iu the room too long, went
to the door and found him dead.
It is believed that the water being
a little cold, caused the death
stroke, Mr. Patterson having for
some time been afflicted with heart
trouble. Deceased was a promi
nent Republican politician, and
was spoken of for collector of this
district under the McKiuley ad
ministration. His successor as
clerk of the Federal court will be
appoiuted by Judges Simonton
(Democrat) and Dick (Republican)
aud it is hard to tell whether the
new clerk will be a Democrat or a
Republican.

HIK TWO EXTRA CACKS.
IMfl-ereiica ol Opinion an to Whether or
Not the Commmiitioneri Shonld Pay
for Them The Ijw in Full aa to Re
building the Jail A Suit May Grow
Out or the Blatter.
Last week in the account of the
commissioners' court we gave a
statement touching the claim made
by the Manly Manufacturing Com
pany for pay for the two extra
cages that have beeu placed in the
jail. We secured our facts from
the register of deeds, J. C. Brown,
aud from the county attorney for
the commissioners, D. E. Uudgii's.
Alter publication, these geutlemen
and one of the commissioners
stated tb it our account was In
accord with the facts. We en
deavor to be careful aud not to
jump at conclusions by any means,
aud we have not.
It may be said, to justify the
printers in a small mattr,of which
they were not at fault (for scarcely
ever is a mistake made by them),
that in much interlining by us, to
be correct, some words naturally
could not be made out, so that the
sentence, " the cages tare placed in
the jail against the protest of the
county commissioners," was some
what confused. But this is a small
matter, but we shall be understood.
As matter was being gathered
for the account last week, it
emerged to us that there was a
diffeience of opinion as to whether
the above company should be paid
for the extra cages. The last board
of commissioners iu May refused
to pay for them ; this board refuses
to pay for them also. But the
Manly Manufacturing CompaD.v
claims 1,145 lor them.
We have supposed that the dif
ference of opinion was lounded
only upou a difference of vew as
to the source of authority in the
matter: whether it rests in the
commissioners or in the committee
appointed by the Legislature, for
all are men of good integrity.
Also, the matter of economy may
have entered to cause difference of
views.
An outline of the view held by
the representative of the Manly
Manufacturing Company, J. L. (3.
Bird, Esq., is that the bill does not
limit the amount to 3,000, and
that the matter was takeu out of
the bauds of the county commis
sioners, whose authority is sus
pended as to the jail and placed
solely in the hands of the building
committee, consisting of different
men from the commissioners. In
his view the commissioners should
issue the script at once tor $1,145
as claimed. We desire to and
shall give both sides.
This last is not the view of the
couuty commissioners and their
attorney. They hold that the com
missioners have authority and are
limited, so far as the Legislature
has gone, to $3,000. The commit
tee asked the commissioners for
an additional $500 (which they
could and did grautby law), which
matter is on record in liegister
Brown's office. This seems to be
au admission that the commission
ers did have authority iu the prem
ises. The other two cages aud the
corridor, besides the two cages in
dispute, will hold about twelve
prisoners. This is besides what
the other two large rooms will
hold. This is as much room as the
county would likely need in 25 or
more years, it is claimed, for her
own prisoners, and it is only her
duty to provide for these. It does
not appear economy these bard
times, when the couuty is iu debt
somewhat, to pay for two extra
cages, unless it can be proven that
we plainly have promised to pay
for them; then we will have to
pay for them, that is all.
This is a matter of interest to all,
and we give below the law iu full
as to re building the jail, etc.:
PUBLIC LAWS OF NORTH CARO
LINA, SESSION, 1 895, PAGE 483.
uAn Act to Authorize the County
Commissioners of McDowell Coun
ty to Levy a Special Tax.
"Section 1. That the commis
sioners of McDowell county are
hereby authorized, aud t shall be
their duty, to levy a special tax on
the property aud polls in said
couuty of McDowell, observing the
constitutional equation, for the
purpose ot building a new jail in
said county; the tax to bo levied
as follows: For the year 1S95,
$1,000; lor the year 18, $1,000;
for the year 1S97, $1,009.
" Sec. 2. That said tax shall l2
levied aud collected as other taxes
are, as now provided by law.
"Sec. 3. That for the purpose of
carrying out the provisions of this
act, aud constructing a new jail
for said couuty of McDowell, the
following building committee is
hereby appoiuted: G. W. Craw
ford, John C. Pool, 11. W. Brown,
W. A. Conley, and A.J. Dula.
' Sec. 4. It shall be the duty of
said building committee to build
and construct a common jail for
the said couuty of McDowell in
the town of Marion, on the lot now
owned by said county, formerly
used as the common jail lot ; said
committee is hereby authorized
and empowered to design, contract
and construct said jail to the best
advautage, with full power to do
any and all acts necessary to en
able them to carry out the pro
visions of this act.
u Sec. 5. That all laws aud clause ?
of laws iu conflict with this act be
and the same are hereby repealed.
"Sec. C. That this act shall be
in force from and after its ratifica
tion. "Katified the 13th day of March
A. 1)., 1S95."
It strikes a layman of the law,
too, that, so far as the Legislature
has gone, the limit is $3,000, or
else the amount is absolutely un
limited. As there is no dispute about the
fact of the extra cages being there,
the point of law may be simply left
with the judge to decide, so we are
informed by -the attorneys. This
would be prompt and less expen
sive. Justice should be done, and
doubtless will be, to both thecoun
ty and the Manly Manufacturing
Company.
Another fact comes to us, which
we append. That is, that the jail
was ueariug completion before the
building committee consented for
the Manly Manufacturing Com
pany to put in the extra cages. It
was thus at first contracted with
the Mauly Company to build the
jail with two cages and a corodor
for $3,500. Oue thousand dollars
of the $1,145 is for the two extra
cages, $140 for inteiest on deferred
payments, and $5 for outside steps.
The members of the committee
have signed an order on the com
missioners for the $1,145. The
Manly Manufacturing Company
also stated that if the extra cages
were not desired tbej need not be
paid for.
ISTGet your cash together
from the different corners of the
house and be ready to secure some
of those bargains at A. Blanton &
Co.'s from Dec. i5t'i to Dec 25th.
Twenty thousand dollars worth
of goods will be offered at cost on

State Hotel, at Denison, Texas, which
the traveling men say is one of the best
hotels in that section. In speaking of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy Major Picton says:
"I have used it myself and in my fam
ily for several years, and take pleasure
in saying that I consider it an infallible
cure for diarrhoea and dysentary. I
always recommend it, and have fre
quently administered it to my guests
in the hotel, and in every case it has
proven itself worthy of unqualified en
dorsement.
