Agricultural Statistics.
We have heretofore referred to the
matter of collecting statistical i u for
mation of an A ftricutturalcharacter by
the tax listers in the various counties.
So much indifference has been shown
in the premises, that Commissioner
Hobinson submitted the question to
the Attorney General, and elicited
from him an opinion, which, as a
matter of information to all con
serned, we lay before our readers.
Attorney General Davidson says :
"In reply to your verbal inquiry of
this day, I have to say that in my
opinion it is the duty of tax listers to
fill the blanks relating to agricultural
statistics and make the returns there
of prescribed by chapter 586 Laws
1891, and a wilful refusal to perform
such duty will make them guilty of a
misdemeanor. The duty does not de
pend upon the payment to them of
the "compensation" mentioned in
the statute. They must perform their
duy although the compensation is
not then paid. J am, however, further
of opinion that they are entitled to
compensation, to be ptid by the re
spective counties for which they act
as assessors or list takers. The statute
expressly says they shall be allowed
compensation "under the rules and
regulations as now govern the listing
of takes " The only "rules" now
governing the payment of compen
sation for listing taxation, so far as I
am informed, are contained in section
4, chapter 826 (Rev. Act), Laws 18C1.
This clearly contemplates that the
several counties shall provide the
compensation. There is no other
provision made. Certainly the Dt
partment of Agriculture, in the ab
sence of any special authority; has no
? tower to make the payment. In fact,
hat department cannot appropriate
money for any purpose ; it can only,
apply moneys whi"h may have been
appropriated by the General Assem
bly. There are now 248 students at the
University of North Carolina, which
approaches the number at the most
favored Institutions of learning in
the country.
Entertainment.
There will be a very interesting en
tertainment at Metropolitan Hall to
uigM in the shape of soiopticnu views
given by the ladieR who have in
charge the raising fcof fnnds for the
World's Fair building The pictures
will be of the most beautiful and in
structive character with a special
view to bis oric illustrations The
price of admission is 3P and 15 cents.
We hope the house will be crowded
A Good Idea.
Mes'rs. R. H Bell and F. Gra
ham, two enterprising and clever em
ployees of the Electric Street Rail,
way, went oit yesterday to a neigh
boring creek and "aught, by seining,
about 12K iish of many different kinds,
with which it is proposed to stock the
pond in Brookside Park. The young
gentlemen came back to the city
much elated with their luck They
say there is no eni" to t e finny tribe
ps they can be caught by the hem
dreds. The fish were placed in the
pond yesterday.
Primaries.
We are raqnested to call attention
to the places of meatingof the Deino
cratic primaries to be held tomorrow
night to elect delegates to the county
convention. The following is the ar
rangement: 1st ward Court room, court house.
2d ward 8aperior Court clerk's of

4th ward Register of Deed's office.
5th ward Metropolitan Hall.

Are ve Happy? Ot Course We
Are.
Surely things are coming our way
this spring, and when business is
good we are happy. This spring we
hae been as busy as it is possibl - to
be. No dull days and no sleepless
nights A continued picnic of 'straw
berries and cream." Why is our bus
iness so good when others-scarcely
sell goods enough to pay store rent.
Well, we will tell you. We underbuy
and we undersell There is no store
in the South that sells goods as low
we do, and we don't, intend that any
store shall. When we can't lead we
will leave We go to New York next
Momlav for another big stock of
goods, and when we return, well, we
will let you imagine what we will do.
Most of the people have learned that
Swindell sells goods really lower than
any other store and those who have
not beard it will in a week or two re
cognize the fact. Why do we go
north for the second stock? In one
month we have sold out the goods
bought for all summer. We under
buy because we can. We undersell
because we will.
Tours truly,
D T. Svin Dull.

Words of Appreciation.
Last night at 8:15 o'clock our breth-
eren, sisters, and friends gave us a
perfect surprise by many of them
calling in a body and bringing with
them a wagon-load of groceries.
Many who could not join the party
sent packages to represent them.
There were packages of all kinds,
from one pound up to a fifty pound
bucket of lard. For each article con
tributed, and to each donor, we offer
our sincere thanks. We appreciate
such good friende, and are very
thankful indeed for the liberal man
ner in which they have expressed
their friendship for us. Hoping that
our friendship and association may
continue for many years and that we
may all be greatly prospered both in
spiritual and temporal riches.
Again in behalf of my wife and my
self, I thank you all.
Y ours In christian gratitude,
Jas. L Foster,
Pastor Christian Church.
