The new school law and the Au gust election, to increase the pub lic school fund, is not met with favor 'general by. We have, talked with numbers regarding the mat ter and -find that the majority are opposed "to-'an increased tax. They say they will vote against it. From what we have leanied we do . not believe a single township j will be carried for the school fund. ' This : is to be regretted as the cause of education needs to niove forward in North Caroling We do not believe the people, oppose the law or will vote against the bill because it is the product of fusion, but solely because of the t the tax;-'' - w ... as no doubt intended for good, but if the result is as indicatetl now, and it will 'be such unless there is a change, education will receive a severe blow one that it will not . recover from for years.

Monroe, hi-h sheriff of Rowan, concerning Sections r- and .":' of the -Revenue Act, passed by the last legislature. To the j communication is apjcnded the opinion of Hon. Theo. F. Kluttz, the sheriff s legaL advisor. The two sections .are . reproduced. by Mr. Kluttz, and of them he says "the language is so explicit that a wayfaring man, though a fool. need not err therein." We desire to Vail especial attention to the com munication. The opinion of Mr. Kluttx is worthy of deep -consideration, and is substantially, .what w as stated by the Sun' more -than a week ago. The State Treasurer and the Attorney General both construe the law as Mr. Kluttz loes, so that every man in the county "must, pay his tax helore the Novemter court.

W e advise the tax-payer to prepare for the emer gency and have his tax Settled by the time required. ;'.--. ; Further comment is unnecessary as the law is so clear that none can mistake its meaning. The people of the State know "who to thank for the daw, and, if wise, will see that a similar crowd does not go "hack to the legislature again. the peace and liberty oi the citizens are at staike with those people in charge of the govern ment.

The girl, she said, was eleven years old and had been preaching, four years, during which time, when she was not preaching, she was playing with children her own age, and made not the slightest preparation for her sermons.

When the eagle saw her it left the child, and with a , terrific, swoop came down on the shoulders of Miss Moore..' Then 'began a des lerate struggle. The girl tried to drive the, eagle away. As often as it was driven away it would re turn with a swoop-, tearing her clothes. When almost exhausted, Miss Moore yueceeded in getting a tight hold of the eagle's head. This proved her salvation, for. thej eagle in its struggle to get free broke its neck. Miss Moore fainted .with ex haustion but soon recovered.

Paraguay, it is not uncommon 'to meet with a bird whose music greatly resembles, that of an Angelusbell when heard from a distance. The Siwmiards call tins singular bird abellringer, though it may be still more appro priately designated as the Angelu bud for, like the ATigelusell, it is heafd three times a day,, morn ing, noon and night. Its song, which defies all description, . con sists of sounds like the strokes of a. bell, succeeding one anothet . every two; or three minutes, so' clearly and in such a resonant manner, that the listener, if a stranger, imagines himself to be near a chapel or convent. But it turns out that the forest, is the- chapel, and the bell a bird.' The beaitt' of the Angelus bird is equal to his talent; he is as large ' as a jay, and as white as snow, besides being graceful in form and swift in motion. But the most curious ornament of the Angelus bird is the tuft of black, arched feathers on its beautiful head; it is of conicjil shape .and about four, inches in length. It Isn't Cuteness. . Advertising isn't cuteness. It is plain, hard, cold, business sense. -., A little humor or a little pleasan try isn't a bad thing sometime but the main thing is to get-thW facts forcibly !efore. the people -most likely to" be interested.-..
