An Important Matter.
Collector White has issured a cir
cular of much importance to those
concerned Although special taxeB
imposed upon leaf tobacco dealers,
dealers in manufactured tobacco and
peddlers.and manufacturers of cigars
are repealed, all such persons must
register with the collector of the dis
trict his name or style, place of resi
dence, trade or business and the
place where such trade or business is
to be carried on, the same as though
the tax had not been repealed. A
failure to do this incurs a penalty of
$50.
Persons interested should apply to
the ' collector for forms, information
&c.,and,thus avoid trouble.
The Oak City Laundry.
A visit to and a look through the
Oak City Laundry is rather instruc
tive as well as interesting. The wash
ing is not done as one might suppose,
by rubbing of the clothes but only by
the friction of the water. Then the
wringing is not done by pressure, but
by centrifugal force resulting from
rapid circular motion. The various
machinery used is of the most ap
proved kind, and the city is very
fortunate in having so modern and
thoroughly equipped an institution
as "The Oak City Laundry" owned
and conducted by Mr. L. R. Wyatt.
Free Tuition.
The profesfors of the State Uni
versity, at Chapel Hill, have estab
lished a course of fre9 tuition, com
mencing March 15th, 1891 and lasting
ten weeks. All interested can obtain
full particulers by addressing Hon.
K. P. Battle, President of the Insti
tution. .
OOR CITY CHARTER.
As it is to be if Passed by the
General Assembly.
WARDS.
The eity la to be divided into five
wards, and the boundaries described.
Seventeen aldermen are to be chosen
three from each ward, except the
first and fifth which shall choose four
each.
TAXATION.
The subjects of taxation are laid
down in the proposed charter as
printed. We give the following as
an important clause:
"Upon all shares of stock issued by.
and certificates of shares of stock in
every bank or banking association
ocated within the corporate limits,
whether such bank or banking asso
ciation has been organized under the
laws of this State or of the United
States, and whether the owners of
said shares or certificates of shares of
stock are residents of the city or else
where, ad valorem, a tax not exceed'
ing one dollar one very hundred value
subject to exemptions allowed by
law. Such shares or certificates of
shares of stock shall be listed in the
names of the owners; and the assess
ment shall be with regard to the
value of the stock on the first day of
June annually, subject to the restric
tion that taxation of such shares
shall not be at a greater rate than is
assessed upon any other moneyed
capital in the hands of individual citi
zens."
POLL TAX.
Failure to list poll taxeB is made a
misdemeanor, punishable with a fine
of not more than $25, or imprison
ment not more than ten days.
SIDEWALKS.
Failure to. repair sidewalks when
proprietors of property are notified is
made a misdemeanor and I fined not
more than $5 for each days neglect,
A notice of ten days is sufficient.
PUBLIC SQUARES.
Ample provision is made in the pro
posed charter for the improvement
and adornment of all the public
squares of the city.
FINES, ETC.
Fines and penalties imposed by and
collected under judgment of the
Mayor sitting as a Justice of the
Peace shall inure to the exclusive
benefit of the city of Raleigh.
The act, if passed shall be in force
from and after the 6th of March, 1891.
We have given this synopsis of the
proposed charter as we thought it
might be of interest to our people
generally. Of course, there are many
features not taken into account, as
our contracted space would not al
low it. It is claimed to be only a
hurried review.
Hard on the Vapor Lights.
The other night a citizen on his
way home, in a deluge of rain, ran
into a post on the corner.
"The devil," he exclaimed. "But
this is a dark night."
Looking up he thought he saw a
star.
"How is this? Here it is pouring
down raining and the stars shining."
But on closer examination he saw
his mistake, and his anger knew no
bounds.
"Blamnationl" he said; "stars shin
ing the mischief. It's one of those
sun vapor lights and I thought it was
a star. But this is a progressive age,"
he mumbled to himself as he wended
his way homeward.
P. S. The gentleman was in bad
luck. He was found next day up to
his neck in mud at one of the street
crossings. Some devilish boy had re
moved the foot log.
Another Chance.
As we understand the holders of
old North Carolina State Bonds are
to be given another chance to have
them' converted into four per cent
consuls under the act to compromise
and settle the State debt. This will
give all interested a chance to sur
render the bonds held, at a fair and
reasonable exchange. The time, we
think, is extended to July 1891.
Muddy Streets Elsewhere.
Travelers tell us that the streets of
ITKa
cities of Asberille. Winston auJ
are in dreadful muddy con
dition bsjreaBQ of recent wet weath
er and aonce 0f Belgian block
paving. Thep.tell us that overshoes
must be strapped, securely on to be
retained, and that It is exceedingly
difficult for pedestrians keep sweet
and not say bad words. v4t really
too bad. We can imagine hiN? Fay
etteville, Wilmington and other
streets in this city would be but for
being paved. But then, it takes time
and money for these things.
I. O. O. F.
Seaton Gales Lodge, will hold its
regular meeting tonight. First de
gree will be conferred and other
business of importance trans
acted. Candidates will be on band at
7:30 o'clock sharp. Every Odd Fellow
fraternally invited; member of the
lodge earnestly requested to be on
hand.

making a special Bale of, is a most de
sirahle line of coods that we intend
to sell before the new stock arrives
Of course some of the curtains are
better styles than others, but no mat
ter which Dair vou buy. they will be
much below value. A few of the
chairs, and verv few at that, are
sliarhtlv store worn, but you would
scarcely notice that except from the
low prices they are offered at.

Beautiful Japanese Girls for
Sale.
Each week in San Francisco there
occurs an auction sale of beautiful
Japanese girls. Now we have in
structed our agent there to buy the
entire lot of Japanese girls for five
successive weeks and in March we
will add to our list of special sales
Japanese bargains. These poor girls
are enticed to come to this country
with the promise of easy and profit
able employment, and when they get
here they are sold into slavery, but
like all other bargains at Swindell's
we never know when we are going to
get them until they are upon us.
Now just think of a list of special
bargains like this.
Seamless sox, 8o.
Men's white laundried shirts 60c.
A beautiful Japanese girl $200

A silk scarf, such as you neyer had,

See our display of new scarfs in show
window. The artist who dressed this
widow is slim and light, parts his
hair in the middle and not a member
of the little German band, which is
now rendering such heartrending and

cial bargain at Swindell's (liked to
overlooked it) is i in jewelry. Our
