6 OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGER, AYf FEBRUARY 17, 19 1 1 FuID MST OF " PAUPER" COUNTIES Irdeell in the List Why These ; Counties Get More From the State Than they Pay to it. For several years there has been much talk and complaint about the "pauper counties"i the State. The"pauper counties"are those coun ties which receive more from the State Treasury than they pay into it. That is to say they get . for schools, for pensions, for the sup port of their insane, deaf and dumb, and blind children in the State insti tutions, more money than they col lect in taxes for these purposes. It might be offered as an excuse that it. is not the fault of these counties they have more inmates in the State institutions, more pensioners and more school children than other counties, but the fact is that there is no excuse for many of the pau per counties and little excuse tor any of. them- The trouble is that many counties put entirely too low a valuation on the taxable proper ty and many of them do this syste matically and wilfully to avoid the payment of taxes proceeding on the idea that every -dollar they can pull from the States Treas-ury puts them so much to the good. Iredell-county, for instance, is in the pauper list, a fact of which its citizenship should heartily be ashamed. Last year our deficiency was $3 13,6 6, and notwithstanding we have so much company we could better afford to raise this deficiency by private sub scription than to have the county discredited by appearing in this list. The list of these pauper counties has grown until the number is now 56, more than half the counties in the State. And when we recall that tlie money these counties receive from the State Treasury -in excess of what they pay in is paid by oth er counties, and that they are thus supported in part by the oth er counties, the indignation of those counties who are bearing the bur den is natural. Following is a list of the pauper counties of the State and the excess tbey collect from the State.

Bid it of Gas, Sourness and Fei mentation in Five Minutes, with 3Ii-o-na Stomach Tablets; J. G. Hall Sells Them and Guarantees Them. You eat food to keep yourself alive. When you put food into a healthy stomach it is the : duty of that stomach to extract from the food all of its nutritious matter. This nutritious matter is passed along to the blood, and in turn is carried to and supplies life to every part of the body. If your stomach is upset it does not extract enough nourishment to suply the wants of the body, and naturally disease develops wher ever the body is weakest Stomach trouble or indigestion causes diziness, biliousness, nervous ness, weak eyes, sick headache,sleep lessness, nightmare, waterbrash, belching of sour food, foul breath, despondency, constipation and even loss of energy and memory. For any stomach trouble, no matter how bad J. G. Hall sells and guarantees Mi-o-na stomach tablets to give quick relief and permannet cure, or moey back. A large box costs -but 50 cents at J. G. Hall's and druggists every where. They are small and easily swallowed, and used regularly they will surely cure indigestion. Foley's Kidney Remedy An Appre ciation. - " L. McConnell.

Porter of Big Steamship company Observes Six Different Kinds His Description of Them. "I have been keeping tabs on the different kinds of kissers who come in here," says the porter of a big steamer company's piers in New York city, "and I find there are six general types and many varie ties. -To begin with, there is the whisker kiss, or the Russian kiss, which is given by one man to an other " The kissers enfold each other in a giant embrace and, put ting whiskers to whiskers, kiss each other on the cheeks. , M. White, the Russian who came over to set tle the Japanese row, gave us the best example of this when he was in Hoboken. I noticed that even the lowest Russian and the Asiatic people bordering on the Russian States when they meet their borth ers and friends here have this same masculine kiss, but some times bestow it on the lips. The Sweetheart Kiss. "The sweetheart kiss is distinct from the husband and wife kiss I can tell wives as far as I can see or hear their kisses. I can see the energy of the kiss genera ting in Heinrich's face as he stands on the dock waiting and watching to catch sight of Gretchen on the ship. When she comes down the plank and throws herself, that's the word throws herself into his scared, doubtful kiss of the girl who has come to America to marry a man she has never seen. Perhaps she has been introduced to him by some mutual friend in a letter. Some Swedish man in Minnesota has written home to his old school teach er to find him some "girl in 'Sma land' that will make him a good wife and here she is. When they finally find each other and after due inspection, exchange salutes,it makes one think, generally, of the touching of two icicles- The Conjugal Kiss. "Then there is the wifely kiss; you all know that, with its varie ties of jealousy and trust; and the kiss of elopers, who have stolt across and salute each other as they set foot on free American soil a sort of congratulating that they are at last safe not knowing, that the police of Hoboken and the in spectors and immigration authori ties have a description of them and are only waiting for this signal to grab them- "'And 'last, there is the holy kiss for his old mother and greets her as she comes feebly down the gang plank with the light of wonder and of the good boy who has come to guide her to the new home he here, made money enough to send hope in her old eyes.he having come 1,000 or 2,000 miles across country a sound to give strength " and courage to every male being that hears it explode.- - "There is the 'sent for' kiss.The hait kiss half way down the pier. NEAR BEER BILL PASSES. Prohibits Sale of Near Bee, Beet le Or . Other Like Drinks in Xorth Carolina After June 1. The House passed the substitute Kent bill Thursday night to prohi bit the sale of near beer, beerine and other like drinks in North Car olina. An amendment was added by the author of the bill substitu ting "or" for "and" in the second paragraph exempting medical pre parations so it shall read "or which are manufactured and sold as medi cines and not as beverages." The second reading vote was by roll call and stood 91 to 7. On final reading the bill was amended by Kellum to make it effective June 1 instead of March 1, this being ad opted. Kellum urged this amend ment because in all fairness State counties, cities and towns should carry out the contracts they made with those people when they took their money for licenses. The amend ment was adopted 50 to 42. The argument began at 8 o'clock and . adjournment was after 11 o'clock. One of the first features was the offering of a local option substitute by Kellum, of New Han over, it being a bill he has pending to allow New Hanover to vote on saloons- Numerous other amend ments were offered and turned dowr by decisive votes. Ewart, of Henderson, offered a substitute in the form of an ex ceedingly drastic measure prohibit ing not only the sale of near-beer or any other kind of - beer but also kinds of spirituous, vinous of malt liquors and the keeping of such in clubs, requiring carriers to report shipments into the State of all intox icating liquors and requiring that a person of sick should make affi davit" before a physician would be allowed to rwite a prescription for whiskey. Speaking for the substi tute he declared the Kent bill a mere shell, shame and a fraud and appealed to the members to be sin cere and pass a law having some force. His substitute was later rul ed out of order. . Remember that Davis pays the freight. For LaGrippe Coughs and Stuffy Colds.

Whereupon he leaned hard, so hard that the ancient table suddenly, col lapsed and sprawled out its legs and went down with a frightful crash of crockery. . - .-. v 3 "Well, you've gone an' done it now!" screamed the old lady. "That's a pret ty mess ain't it? Ef you'd had th' sense of a chipmunk you'd have know, ed th" reason I didn't want you to lean on th table wuz 'cause th' legs wua rickety. 'An.

And the disgusted farmer stumbled out from the scene of wreckage and chased a harmless tramp three miles down the road with an ax handle Cleveland Plain Dealer. Handicapped. Englishmen use their bands compara tively little in conversation, but French men use them a good deal. Quaintly enough. Parisians have a very keen sense of the exaggerated way in which the southern Frenchman and the Ital ian help on what they have to say with their hands, and this accounts for the following story: An Italian railway thief was caught red handed in the train, handcuffed and brought to Paris. As he was walk iu-j out of the Gare de Lyon between two detectives a friend met him. "Hello!" he said. "Where have you been this long time, and how are you?" The prisoner looked at him pathet ically and shook his head. "What's the matter?" said his friend. "Have you been stricken dumb?'" The prisoner raised his handcuffed hands. "Very nearly," he said.

Agostino Bassi. a country doctor In the north of Italy, early in the last century Mas the starter of the germ theory of disease. At that time a pe culiar disease was killing the silk worms, bringing ruin to the whole silk country of Italy. Bassi, by the micro scope, discovered the germ which is the cause of the disease. The germ later was named Botritis bassiana. Bassi believed and stated that human diseases were also caused by germs. Bassi's work was sneered at and pooh poohed by his fellow men and physi cians, and he failed to make a lasting impression, thereby losing great glory for Italia. New York Press. The Orkney Islands. .
