a traitor. VOL R. AT.FlTCVFr, FRIDAY, JTTirZ" lO, 1891 ee NEWS NOTES ABOUT THE CITY. Wbat Our Reporters See and Hear Worth Giving to Our Readers News in Brief. Cool weather for the time of year. Rev. Charles J. Tucker, father of Mrs. Wayne Allcott, died at his home in Norwich, N. Y. yesterday morning. The recent sale of real estate near Raleigh is but the beginning of a big boom that is certain to come to Ral eigh, in the near future. Let everybody who can, help out the Soldiers Home. There is no better cause to which a helping hand could be extended. A sale of tobacco took place at Jones' warehouse yesterday. Some of the plant waB raised in South C arolina. See notice of the executors of Sam uel Utley, deceased, by Messrs. P.' A. Whitaker and T. A. Council, to be found in this issue. We most sincerely hope that the commissioners of the different coum. ties will not overlook the matte of preparing for the Inter State Exposi tion. It is an important matter and one that should most earnestly com mend itself to the consideration of all our people. Mr. M. A. Murray, Wiliningtcn,Del. writes: "I had ne of my severe head aches and as persuaded to try your valuable (Bradycrotint) medicine. I never had anything to do me so much good." J8 6t- We are erased to learn that there is a considerable improvement in the condition of Grand Sire Busbee to day. This will be good news to thou sands in North Carolinaand through out the country generally. The management of the matter of the direct taxes by Governor Holt, Treasurer Bain, and P. H. Andrews has been excellent. The maxim " be sure you are right, and then go ahead" has been strictly adhered to. All honor to Mr. P. H Busbee for the faithful manner in which he has represented the State in the matter of obtaining the $26,0C0 difference in the direct taxes. He found the error ami kept on the trail until he haa it ad justeu. Although the Virginia authority were promptly notified of the arresi of Mr, Clarence Bu6bee, no official has yet arrived to take him in charge. This is something like au unreasona ble delay and we believe that if no officer should arrive here to day, the Chief of Police will be justified in re leasing him. We believe he will do 80. 15 Cents a Yard. This is As tonishing. Our whole stock of 25 and 35 cent zephyr gingham and wool challieB. A beautiful bargain. MrGee & Mose ley. Personal Mention. Mr. W. A. Lancaster, who has been quite sick, is out again. Col. and Mrs. A. B. Andrews, ac companied byMiss JanieAndrews and Miss Inder Tucker, have gone to Cleveland Springs. An Enjoyable Time. The excursion to Littleton ytster day, by the Relief Society of the Ral eigh and Gaston railroad, was a most enjoyable and a most successful occa sion. We learn that a tremendous crowd was in attendance, all of whom had a splendid time. Nothing hap pened to mar the occasion in the least, The excursionists returned to the city last night at 9:80. 15 Cents a Yard. Entire sto.ik of zephyr, ginghams and several wool challies; they were 25 and 30 cents heretofore, but we must unload. McGee & Moseley. gThe Penn Hardware Works strike At Beading is off. NOW, FOR THE MONEY. GOVERNOR HOLT DECIDES TO COM M EN I E THE PAY MENT OF DIRECT TAX CLAIMS. Mr. F. H. Busbee, the Attorney for tl.e State in the collection of the di rect taxes, has just returned from Washington, and is receiving many congratulations upon his success in securing the payment of the balance due the State, of over $20,000. The error was discovered by him upon an examination of the record, and he has been pressing the claim vigorous ly ever since, Today Governor Holt received the following telegram from Senator Ransom: "I have, this moment, seen the Secretary of the Treasury and the Comptroller. The order has been made to pay the money." On the receipt of the above, Gover nor Holt decided to commence pay inent of claims AT osck. Merchants Purchase Tax. The time in which the law re quires this tax to be given in expires today, and still there are many busi ness men who have failed to list. It is presumable, of course, that this is the result of oversight, but still it should not be so. The law is plain and imperative and should be strict ly adherred to. The fact that there is, or will be, a suit to test its consti tutionality does not excuse or mend the matter. A law should be obeyed as long as it is on the statute books, or declared unconstitutional. We hope the merchants of Raleigh and Wake county, will look into the mat ter in a proper light, In order to be as accommodating as the circum stances will admit, the Register of Deeds wiil keep the list open a few days longer. Let all, who are re quired to do so, attend to the matter. It is an important duty. Tariff League.

Tin 0,000,000 blunder of a clerk in foot, ing a short column of figures last Fri day has made the lives of the Treasu ry magnates a burden to day Some body in the Treasurer's office bad circulated a rumor that, in accor dance with the general policy of the Secretary of the Treasury of making no distinction which could be avoided between the different classes of Government assets, the silver dollars and the bullion accumulated under the Silver Act of 188, and those ac cumulated under the Act of lS'.tO, and the bullion made from redeemed trade dollars, were to be treated as one common fund thereafter. Ac cordingly, the clerk who had charge of making out. the statement for the close of business on July 1st added the amounts of the three items togeth er, making a total, as he figured it, of $369,802,5"0. Thus it was given out to the press associations on Fri day morning, July 3. Unhappily, the addition of the three lines of figures was done so carelessly that, by an omissiou to "carry one" in a certain place, the total was made $10,000,000 too small This failure to "carry one" was what made all the trouble when the mis take was discovered. Postmaster Thompson, of Carlisle, is charged with "offensive partisan ship," and a special Washington ex aminer is investigating the matter. Hardware, &c. SPECIAL NOTICES.
