The old board of town commis sioners in Gastonia were not up to snun like their neighbors in Dal las.

He has not yet had time to make much more than half a can vass, but even with that he has secured subscribers for about 275 of the 350 lights necessary to make the establishment of the plant a certainty. The plant can be in stalled in about 60 days after work commences. ...

Dem ocrats and Populists are saying almost nothing, but the Republi cans are a little more aggressive. The Populists don't seem to care whether they fuse with the Repub licans or not ; but the Republicans are evidently very anxious for fusion.

In this scribe' pursuit of life, lib erty, and the pursuit of substan tial happinesH be went to Ruther ford court. It is known that be very often goes to court, and fcr obvious reasons. His enemies say the strong arm or the law has something to do with bis attend ance. As usual en the advent of spring court a motly crew was In attend aoe, and the - whangdoodle mourned, and the blind tiger mourned for bis first born. . Jockey street was more terrible than an army with banners, while eqnine wonders of every age, color and previous ' condition of servi tude shed their fragrance on tbe desert air. Tbe politician was. as usual, in evidence, and tbe trans gressor trod tbe wine press. Among tbe central figures at tbe tribunal were Col. Anns Owens, of Cherry Monnuin, and Col. Jer ry Bowlin, of Golden Valley; all of Kutherford county. State of North Carolina. Both have succeeded in cording np a record that will in after years be celebra ted in song and story. Amos was a follower of tbe Stars and Bars, and a gallant soldier. In after days he was a high priest in the Invisible Empire, and as he is con. servative in nothing he under takes, the red string and tbe er ring colored brother felt the rod of his displeasure. When the strong arm of tbe government collared tbe Kuklux Klan, Amos was sent to Albany State prihou. But no punishment coold cow bis rebellious spirit, and be left tbe prison stripe by no means reconstructed. He consid ered Uucle Sam a despot, and re solved to play a lone band, and to raise tbe flag of revolt. When the government wanted a revenue for whiskey, Amos tendered him the same message Vanderbilt gave tbe public, aud tbe smoke at bis still ascended continually. From time Immemorial bis family had made whiskey, and thought that every farmer should raise corn enough to make whiskey, and nse the surplus to make bread. He reasoued that while bread is the staff or lire whiskey is life itseir. Ue had never known any circula ting medium except confederate money and corn whiskey. When tbe Stats and Bars trailed in the dust confederate scrip depreciated, but corn whiskey bad a more sta ble value around Cherry Mountain, than tbe yellow metal. Uncle Sam was tbe biggest, and again Amos went into tbe zebra nniform. Three times he has orn that costume, but it is a question whether or not tbe fires of geheima would work in Amos a change of heart. Every Federal court generally finds Amos treading tbe wiue press, and though bis form is bent with the weight of years and bis bead is like t be almond tree, be persists in making that which msketb glad tbe heart of man, and putting the bottle to his neighbor's lips. He has a building on Cherry MonnUin which has lor many tuoous beeu makiug history. A species of fine mountain cherry grows here of which he has a large orchard. Tbe trees grow some two feet in diame ter, and the fruit is aa sure a crop as the product of bis still. Early in June of every year tbe gay and giddy, and often the more staid and orderly walking, make a pil grimage to Cherrj Mountain, for rest atid refreshment. Amos is an adept in msking a decoction called cherry bounce. This Is said to contain cherry juice and corn whiskey. Tbe whiskey is added to keep it from souring, and on the principle that yon can't have too mocb of a good thing a quart of this famous elixir contains seven gills of proof whiskey, on which is a delinquent tax list. A few pota lions ol this compound makes a poet go into ecsUcies over moun tain scenery, a minister organixea zealous hunt for the lost sheep of Israel, wbije tbe pugnacious pil grim, like Job's war horse, snuff's the bottle from afar. Scenes have been here enacted that caused hitherto classic aud celebrated Dory brook to be relegated to eter nal obscurity. As far as law was coucerned it has been no man's laud, because Amos was not clam oring for legal investtgatiou. However, last J oue a gay and festive party invaded Cherry Mountain, aud Amos appealed to a magisterial tribuusl. Ue was uuhoreed in a literal aud fljuratite sense. He lot his case, and tbe opposition made him gie a mort gage on hia war horse to oear ex peuse or the action. At the Supe rior court Amos proved himself as irrepressible as Banqno'a ghost. He reported with a stove pipe hat on Ins head, coperas breeches on his person, aud the burdeu of a great sorrow on his heart. He claimed that be was living in peace with Uod and the State aud tryiug to adjust a mantle or charity to fit himself; that he was trying to fence in Cherry Mountain so that the lion and tbe lamb could lie down together. Bat against his peace and dignity these sons of Bilial had fired on the American flag, rocked bis dog, ridiculed bis religion, and added inrnlt to mja ry by taking the name ot hi ''boss in vain. Ut therefore wanted them to know there it a God la Israel, and that Cherry Uooutaiu Is bi c istle. Bacy de velopments are expected and it is that both sid.'a will feel tbe upper sou net oer mi;t stones. Col. Jerry Bowlin is an exponent or Squatter Sovereignty. The world, the flesh, a decree of the ceurf, and ror twenty years, the devil, has failed to remove him from tbe Golden Valley Minisgl Company land.

The subject or wirnes fees in onr Superior Criminal Court being one thst is or frequent importance to all classes of our people, and much complaint sometimes made by witnesses who do not get any fees at all, I advance the following information, which will serve, J hope, to make clear to those who may become Interested that which is now or msy be misunderstood: Witnesses for the State as a rule receive tbeir fees from tbe county ; tr the defendant it convicted, full fees; ir acquitted, only one-hair. Bat witnesses who are subpeeoa-d on behalf of the defendant must look to the latter for tbeir fees, if be is acqaaitted, tbe amount dae being of a personal debt, for which be msy be sued, unless tbe witness avails bimaeir or the rollowing pro vision or Tbe Code (section 717). which, or course, he would do if acquainted with it. The said sec tion reads as follows : "When tbe defendant sbsll be ac quitted, a nolle prosiqul eatered, or judgment against him arrested and it shall be made to appear to the court by tbe certificate of counsel, or otherwise, that said de fendant had witnesses daly sab pcrnaHl, bound or recognized, in attendance, and that tbey were necessary for his defense, it shall he tbe doty of tbe coart (tbe jadge) to make and file an older in tbe cause directing thst sa;d witnesses be paid by tbe county in such msnner and to rucb extent ss is authorized by law for the pt ment of state's witnesses." As a rule those who are either convicted or acquitted are bad psyn and against tbe Utter of whom a suit by a witness for his fees woold prove rruitle: hence, knowledge of tbe above law be comes important. If, however, the witness should fail to avail himself of said section, he may perbap get the benefit of sectioo 913 or tbe Code, which provides that, tbe court, at any time within one year after judgment, may order that any witness may be paid, who, for any good reason, satisfactory to the court, failed to have hi fees included in the 'original bill of costs." The legal terms nolle proseoai and "jedgment arrested are too technical to be explained here, nor is an explanation or them Import ant in this connection. It will al ways be sufficient for wit neses to make inquiry or the clerk or the court what disposition was made or tbe ease and to govern himself accordingly. M. . Amis Public Buildings, Banks.
