At a meeting of the creditors ot Mr. J. H. Pearson on Monday Mr. Edwin Camp was elected trus tee of the estate, and Messrs. R. K. Presnell, H. W. Connelly and I. I. Davis were appointed ap praisers of the property in bank ruptcy. Dr. Leslie's new drug store, on which the finishing touches are now being placed by the owner, Mr. Davis, is a gem in the brick block in which it stands. The whole work reflects credit upon the designer, masons, carpenters and painters. The t urning of the Benbow House in Greensboro Saturday, with a loss of 100,000, was im mediately followed by the an nouncement that the house would beat once rebuilt. The Walton House in this place was burned six years ago, and its ruins remain untouched. Mr. Harry P. Deaton, of Con cord, and later of the First North Carolina Voluteers in Cuba, is in charge of the mechanical depart ment of The Herald, and would be pleased to have the orders of businessmen and others for job work, which he is prepared to ex ecute in ihe most up-to-date style.

At the receut meeting or the State Hospital Directors, Dr. P. L. Murphy in bis report, thus referred to one of the victims of the acci dent by which two patients lost their lives and several were seri ously maimed. The words are worthy of Carlyle and rival in pathos his tenderest touches: "On Jane 4th Mr. Farley quietly ana painlessly passed away. His wife was present al his death. One of the most pathetic instances it has been my lot to see, was this poor old German whose early life had been one cf danger and hard ship; as peddler of, heavy stoue ware; and as a sailor before the Miss Mamie Collette left on Saturday for the coast, to join her sister, Miss Daisy Collette.

"Of the thousauds of insaue pa. tieats who have been nnder my care, none had shown more friend ship for me and mine, and none were more tenderly loved. Let us hope tbat his troubled spirit has at last found rest." ON LISTING TAXES. A Catawba County Philosopher Rumi nates on the Human Weakness of Sliding Around the Truth at TLls Season of the Year. Chronicle Cor. Newton Enterprise. Mr. W. Smith is tax-lister for Catawba Springs township and Mr. J. E. Cronland for Ironton. Mr. Smith opens up the 5th of June at Kidsville, and we suppose that about the usual amount of false swearing will be done. Now what we are going to say about this very important matter is in tended for no honest man and no honest man will get offended at what we say. We have been meditating 00 this matter and have come to the conclusion that June, especially the first two weeks of it, must be a busy time with the recording angel. Any one wishing to learn the character of a man can find no better place than a tax listing. Mr. A walks up and lists his mule for $75 r $100, according to grade, his milk cow $20 or $25. Mr. B walks up with a sanctimonious look on his face and lists the same kind of mule and cow, the mule at $40 or $50 and the cow at $10 which would bring on the market $25--and goes away in a Pharisa ical manner and seems to think he is the most honest man in the world. Some amusing cases have been brought to our notice. Messrs. C and S listed their prop erty at Lowesville. Mr. C listed his mule at $100, Mr. S listed his mare and colt at $40. They re- The State Hospital Money Lost by the Charlotte Court. Hank at Morjrantou. Newt and Obsrrrer, 17th. Last 3 ear when the Piedmont Bauk at Morganton broke there was in it tO.000 or State money. The security was worthies and so the losa was complete. Tie 8iate Treasurer had placed this moor j there to the credit and for the ose of the asylum at Morganton. Af ter the bank had failed and It was seen tbat the money was gone, Mr. Worth held that the loss must be sustained by the asylum and not by the 8tate. This, the direc tors of the institution contend, is not fair; tbat the money, though intended for them, had never come into their possession, and could not, therefore, be properly charged np to them: that tbe loss must be sustained by tbe State and not by tbe institution. Yesterday, by direction of his fellow members on the board of directors, Mr. J. Gaitber Hall, of uicaory, came nere to see tbe Bute Treasurer In regard to this matter and try to bare it adjusted. He hopes to be able to convince the Sute Treasurer of tbe justness and correctness of tbe contention set up by the directors. In case he fails to do so he will go to Lexington to see the Attor ney General in regard to tbe matter. John's Kiver Notes. This has been a very favorable season on crops of various kinds.

Charlotte is at present the lead ing town in the State, in white population, in business and in bank deposits. It was very hot there last week, but ice cream and watermelon were to be had con veniently and the street cars ob viated the need of walking, so that one got thiough the day's business fairly well. Joe Caldwell was not in town, which was a pitr, but we were consoled by learning that he was in even a better place to-wit: Morganton. y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y f ; CLIMAX MALT EXTRACT IS AN IDEAL TONIC AND APPETIZER PUT up in pint bottles, and sells at 15 cents.

He says that both he (Kaylor) and his brother were stage drivers on the line between Statesville and Mor ganton about i844-'43. Statesville Landmark. How shall the fumigating in cident to tbe disappearance of small pox be done and who shall pay for it, is the question now agitating the city fathers and the board of health. Every lawyer in town has taken a dead level rest at tbe Act of 1893, and opinions vary as to the cast and measure of pecuniary responsibility. An agreed case will be made up for the courts between town and coun ty, and meantime cost will be di vided share and share alike. That is a startling story told by the Hickory Mercury of the conduct of a negro man in Icard township of this county, towards a young white girl, Maggie Cline. We are told the negro, Ring by name, has been held for the next grand jury, and the white man, Pink Propst, at whose house the affair is said to have occurred, is due the race to which he belongs some sort of an explanation. It is a splendid time for him in which to write a card. Louis Kerley is home again, after a year at college. Children's Day was held at Mt. Pleasant church last Sunday. A large crowd of people was present to witness tbe exercises, which were a decided success. Those who took part in the exercises were: Lois Kerley, Minnie llally burton, Iieloise Sudderth, Mary Berry, Esther Benlah Johnson, Jennie Hood, Edna Smith, Minnie Wakester, Lizzte Walls, Pearl Holloway, Mary Holloway, Edna Hood, Maggie Moses, Avery Walls, Jay Kerley, James Self, Walter Self, Walter Walker, Regie Hood, Henry Duckworth and Vester Clontz. Misses Ophelia Kerley and Maggie Sudderth deserve much praise for the efficient train ing of the children. Burke. St. John's, June 20. me. and Mr. J a Koman catnoiic. Another case. A farmer in the vicinity of-Denver listed three yearlings at one dollar each. Mr. D purchased the smallest of the lot the same day and by bard work got it for 3.75. The amusing part of the story is that Mr. D returned to Denver and informed .the tax lister what he had given for the calf, and he changed the figures to $3.75 each. It may be argued tbat farmers have to pay more than their share of taxes. This is undoubtedly true, but this is no excuse for farm ers perjuring themselves, une wrong won't right another wrong, and the man who does not list his property at its full cash value, if he is not swearing a lie, to use the expression of an old lady, he is "sliding around the truth." them nnaprouted and in fint dui vigo rous condition for late planting in June or July.
