cieve the good, except to 0 of

pect to say any thing against it

in that case, of
course it would be a good law.

; Is There Jnst One!
By reference to the book for
that purpose in the Register's
office,; we nnd but one license
for retailing liquors in the
county J recorded, as provided
by law. j
By reference to Revenue Act
of 1889, under schedule B, it
will be seen that "every per
son, company or firm, for sel
ling Dirituous. vinous or malt
liquors, or medicated bitters.
shall nav a license tax. semi-
& . -
annually inj advance on the
first day of January and July,"
etc! The tax is to be collected
by the sheriff for the benefit of
the Dublic school fund. The
manufacturers are allowed to
'll .1 ! ... J 1 J X
seu xneir own prouucis m quu,u
tities of not less than a quart,
at the place of manufacture,
without State and county li
cense.! ' .'.'.!' -
Under the provisions of this
law, but one license has been
taken out and recorded. We
were under the impression that
there were several retail gro
ceries in the county subject to
these license taxes. " If there
are those .in business subject
to this tax who have neglected
or failed to take out license, it
is the duty of the sheriff to in
vestigate the matter. Perhaps
it is all right, but just one re
corded licensed retail dealer in
the county, gives a little ground
fnr thfl Rusnicion that a dis-
crepency may exist somewhere

Kevenuers on the War Path.
It would seem from the re
rnrta now reaching here that
we are entering xin era m Keve
nue annals similar to that of
the i erood old times, still so
sweetly remembered, when the
revenuers armed with carbines
and repeaters took the law in
their hands and the ''firewater"
in their stomachial reservoirs
and took' in the . countrj. at
their own good pleasure. If
there be anything in reports,
the great "Medicine Man" Mas
tin has summoned some six or
eight of his tribe and is now
on tjie' war path in the county.
The Medicine Man is giving
followers practical demon-
teaching them tbe fantastic
steps in the "Ghost Dance.'
it appears that this revenue
tribe have been radio sr the
county pretty lively and cut
ting up distilleries. They cut
up several stills up on Lewis
Fork, and last week they went
down to the lower end of the
county and left six or eight de
molished stills and some empty
bottles, j At one or two places
they broke open a smoke house
and cut up stills that had not
been used in two or three years
and then were regularly regis
tered. In all, some 12 or 15
stills have been cut up.
It is a question of some im
portance where the Medicine
Man and his tribe get their
authority for wantonly de
stroying such property. We
thought that it was necessary
to advertise such property be
fore it could be disposed of or
destroyed, even though it were
found and captured while in
active violation of the law.
At least, such was the case un
der iiecent Democratic rule.
The Revenue laws are suffi
ciently severe and oppressive
when1 administered decently
and in a spirit of justice. . But
no wonder it is odious when
privaie houses can bo broken
open-land property destroyed
without warrant or legal no
tice. i ; '
; Compare such proceedings
with the Democratic adminis
tration. To the Sanday School Workers.
'; Brethbbs: At a meeting ot Execu
tive Committee of the Sunday School
Associatio'n of North Carolina, held In
Durham, Jan. 22d,4 it was decided to
hold a stata Convention in Fayettevllle,
on the 24th, 25th and 26th days of
March, next. The Convention will be
attended by Mr. Tm Reynnolds of
Peoria, 111, late President of the Intern
ational Sunday School Association . and
now Superintendent of Organization of
that Association, the most prominent
Convention worke In the country and by
Mrs. W. F. Crafts, of New York, presi
dent of the National Primary Teachers
Union and one of the leading Primary
Lesson Help writers. Mrs. Crafts, will
not take part in the work of the Conven
tion proper. but will hold separate meet
ing for those interested in primary
work. , '
The representation in the Convention
will consist of members of the State
Executive Committee, all speakers name
in the Programme of the Convention,
and five delegates , from each county.
The round trip rates of fare usually
granted bur Convention have been
obtained (from all Railroads ia the
State. i
All Counties which have not held Con
ventions since last February, are earn
estly requested and urged to take imme
diate action and hold Convention before
the State Convention. . It is especially
desired that Counties, at present unor
ganized, should at once hold Convention
and elect delegates to the State Conven
tion. A ? representation from every
county in the State is greatly desired.
We appeal to the Ministers, Superin
tendents and every lover of-the Sunday
School cause throughout the State, to
bestir themselves and see, that County
Convetions are held in Counties where
none have been held during the year.
The press of North Carolina ever will
ing to do iU part in every good work can
be used, and we appeal to each worker
in the cause to see for hlmselo that a
call for a County Convention is issued
at once. Let two or more Ministersand
Superintendents issue the call inviting
all Sunday School workers to meet on
some stated day and hour, at some , de
signated place and all organize'
