N. W West reported that he had
received letters fr6m the Seaboard
Air L;r.e Railway, the Atlantic
Coast Line, the Atlantic and North
Carolina, and the Southern Railway,
stating that they would give special
rates for the occasion and do all in
their power for its success. They
asked to be notified of the ,date of
the inauguration as soon as possible.
Capt. West was directed to thank
them and to give the desired infor
mation
lines. It took almost a
a letter to go from Maine to Geor
gia, and the lowest rate of postage
was 8 cents for 40 miles or less1. The
farms furnished the food and the
mothers and daughters spun, wove
.and made the cloth, for which the
plants of the forest furnished dye
stuffs.'.. But all this is changed.
.Papulation is now trending toward
the cities -and towns. -Railroads
and telegraphs have made the whole

The inventions of the century" are
wonderful and countless. Some of
the most beneficent are the use of
steam, as a motive power, the tele

machine, the cotton gin, the harvest

dreds of others of greater or less

humblest citizen is made more com-

Birth of the New Year.
Henry Blount in Raleigh Post
- When the eyes of Post readers
rest upon these lines the old year,
1900, with its raging storms and
peaceful calms, its lowering clouds
and beaming sunlight, its sorrows
and its joys, will have passed into
the Eternal By Gone. To some it
will be fondly treasured in sweetest
memory, for the flowers of hope
blossomed beautifully, and sweeten
ed life with the perfume of ripest
fruition; to. others the fateful weeds
ofdisa'ppointmentcame and the heart
grewsick at their noxious exhala
tions. Some have roamed amid the
tropical flowers of brightest success,
where every breeze was threaded
with the odors of thrift, and where
the warm gulf-waves of prosperity
broke in shimmering radiance o'er
the heart; others have been exiled to
the Siberian wastes of iciest disap
pointment, and there amid the des
olation of despair they have gazed in
shivering anguish upon the snow
wrapped skeletons of hopes that per
ished and dreams that died. And
so, the old year has had its sunlight
and its shadows, itsioys and its
sorrows, its smiles and its tears.
5And while some will feel sad at its
death, others will be glad that it is
gone, and will hail with gladdest
joy the new year that has just been
born.

The evidence in Pender and John
ston counties shows beyond cavil that
the railroads are wrong in their con
tention. This evidence had no weak
chain in it largely because Mr. John
T. Bland, county attorney of Pender,
and Mr. John A. Narron, connty at
torney of Johnston, did their duty
to their counties and presented the
evidence fully and in a way. that
clinched the truth of the State's con
tention. Wherever the county at
torney has done his duty the evidence
has reonfounded the tax-dodgers.
The county commissioners owe it
to those tax-payers who cannot rush
to Simonton to have their taxes re
duced below what is fair and moder
ate, to direct their attorney; to co
operate with the State's attorneys
in securing the evidence to prevent

The Legislature will soon be in
session. It can settle this matter
for the future very readily by impos
ing a tax on the franchise as well as
on the property, and the counties
can aid the State to win in the con
test for the 1899 and 1900 , assess

A Negro Jew.
Goldsboro Dispatch, 30th. -
Goldsboro has had a monstrosity
in the shape of a negro Jew, who put
in his appearance here yesterday,
and as he was fully acquainted with
Masonic and Odd Fellows grips he
was taken in charge by colored Ma
sons and Odd Fellows and beings of
the Jewish faith, he did not fail to
have the attention of all Israelites.
The surprise to the Jews was that
he could write and speak the Hebrew
language fluently and that he was
fully up in the faith of Abraham.
Isaac and Jacob. He was from Af
rica, that part bordering on Abys
sinia. He is a sailor and came heije
irom .Newport News, having desert
efl his ship there because of the
aDase of ip captain. , :
and is preliminary, as about $5,000
more is due. It is desired to issue
new rifles.
The State Guard was called on
four times during the year to. aid
the civil authorities.
Rifle practice is greatly needed.
No encampment was held this year,
owing to the lack of fund . Much
improvement was made in equip
ment, interest and discip'iue. An
officer of the regular army is need
ed at headquarters.
Mail Sack Robbed of $100,000.
Detroit, Mich,, Dispatch 29th.
A mail pouch containing $100,000
in negotiable paper and an unknown
amount of money, was stolen from
the Wyandotte, Mich., Michigan
Central Railroad passenger station
some time last night. The last
mail for Wyandotte arrives at 10:28
and owing to the lateness of thehour
it is left in the station until morning.
Last night, Operator Richard threw
the pouches under a seat in the cor
ner of the waiting room and then
went to his home in Detroit.
Today Mail Carrier McClear miss
ed the sack and George Bessey, a
driver of an oil wagon, also reported
at the station that . a pouch,
ripped open and empty, was be
hind an oil tank close by. Two em
ployes of the J. B. Ford Alkali
Works brought in a number of cnecks
and opened envelopes they had found
strewn along the railroad track.
Postmaster Johnson, of Wyandotte,
immediately investigated. . The
trail of the thief was marked along
the railroad track by strewn letters,
checks and drafts. Most of the
mail was intended for the Ford Com
pany and a force of clerks was sent
out to collect the strewn letters.
J. B. Ford, Jr., said a draft for
$40,000 he expected was missing
left breast near the heart and fell
as" soon as hit. Dansby walked some
ou steps and was reloading his Dis-
tol when he was shot again, some
say by the dying sheriff.be sher
iff and his slayer died within a few
minutes. Kyle lingered until 2
