Ektered at the Posl-cjjice as second-class matter. in Wilkesboro EDNESDAY, JULY I, 1891. The Press Association. P The Executive Committee met at Raleigh on the 24th and fixid the time for holding the tl&i X. meeting of the Press As SQcaation the 11th, 12th and 13tn of August. The simple fact that it is to be held in the progressive city of Winston is sufficient to guarantee every member a delightful and prof itable occasion. WilkesborQ is very anxious to pave the Association to visit her, and willoffer its members a complimentary excursion to this; place at the close of the session and give them a hearty invitation. The bretheren will ,su rely accept, and . we assure h 3m they cannot accept the hospitality of a more generous clGver-hearted people. To our $eople we make the assurance that they will never have the .opportunity of entertaining a mbre intelligent, gentlemanly, jolly set man tne memoers oi tHe North Carolina Press, nor is there any set who appreci ate a good thing more thor oughly than thev. Let us get in shape to do the square thing by tbom. Let Them Come. The Manufacturer's Record, published in Baltimore, in its issue last week says that "Geo. Osborne & Co., of Chicago, 111., a e investigating with view of establishing bark extract works a ; Wilkesboro, N. C, but havo not yet made any definite de c sion." Let them come; they cmnot find a more suitable s tuation. Our quantity and va da variety of the medicinal barks, ots and herbs, is very abun- ant. Such works as referred tb need have no fear of not Iways having a constant nd sufficient supply of mate- ial. "Wilkes bears the distinction of being the pioneer field of tne bark, root and herb busi ness in North Carolina. Mr. Calvin J. Cowles, of this place, was the first man in the State o engage in this business. allace Bros., of Statesville, ho have the largest Herbari- m in the world, owe their be- inning in this branch to the ioneer work of Mr. Cowles. Prof. Hvams. the manacrer of i - " his department at "Wallace's ill his death a few weeks ago, : -ecieved his training and expe dience while with Mr. Cowles n this county. He was after wards engaged by "Wallace Bros. Let the ; Chicago gentlemen come ahead. Eevenue Regulations. Wholesale and retail liquor dealers,- rectifiers, etc., who have to pay special license tax, are reauired bv a recent order from the Revenue department -A to nav the 3Decial license tax and procure license before be - ginning business, it is now unlawful to begin operation before paying the special 11 cense tax, as hSas been the cus torn heretofore. Beginning business before paying the tax subjects the party so doing to a penalty tax of 50 per cent, of the special tax. That is, if the special tax is $50 the; penalty tax would be $25, making a to tal of .$75; . .. ; The money must also be sent directly to the Collector and the license issued by himi The 1 deputy collector does not attend ;to this branch of the, internal revenue bu.s4xre3'af? J0- A Pretty Poem. lftThe author of the following pretty lines is unknown. The copy was handed us a few days ago by Mr. T. B. Finleyi a kinsman of the hero it com memorates, having been clip-! ped from a newspaper a good jwhile ago. The gallant Gen. James B. Gordon, the he.ro of the poem, recieved his .death wound at Brook church near Richmond, on the evening of 12th of May '64, while with a mere handful he was bravely bearing the brunt of the on slaught of Sheridan's entire force, and while, despite the protests of his men, he was 'teaching his men a lesson of gallantry." No braver heart e'er beat, no knightlier sword e'er waved, than his. His hon ored ashes are laid to rest in the Episcopal cemetery here, disturbed by neither the weary tramping of the march nor the music of the cheer and charge, awaiting the last bugle call): "GORDON." Over the dark sea's ebb and flow, Marching with stately tread, Neath a spotless banner waving low, Is the hero we call dead. Far up the slopes of that beautiful chore. By the side of the musical river, His cares, his sorrows, his last fight T - I He has stacked Jiis arms forever. He has struck & tent in .the i ing land, moru.- In the sphere without shadow or sin, Where the sentries on guard no Ion ger stand, And the pickets have all come in. And journeying on to the distant spires. To the ruby and diamond wall, No more he lights the old camp fires, Or lists for the bugle's call. Tis there mid the long sweet sunny I hours, lie has won a christian's crown, And among the radiant fadeless flowers, He has flung his sabre down. 'Tis there where the light and the mu sic blend, That Gordon, the hero, waits, And his last long furlough will never end, For he leans on the golden gates. We take pleasure in calling attention to the advertisement of Moravian Falls Academy which appears in another col umn. This institution has a justly wide and honorable rep utation, and there arises no question about the fact that Pyof . Patton is one of tho best an4 most thoroughly equipped instructors of the State. "We refer you to the special propo sition made of giving six stu dents $20 each in cash. The requirements are scholarship, good character, and attendance the entire year. This means you must be at school the first Say of the session and remain till the lastr day, and that you will have to study. In referring to the Alliance resolution recently pasRed in this county depricating tho ac tion of the Democratic Alliance men in refusing admittance to Republican Alliance to a cer tain caucuss held in Raleigh, the Landmark seems to leave the impression that the resolu tions were the work of the Sec retary of the Alliance. But such was not the case; as the Sec'y did nothing but what his position required copying Qnd sending out for publication, as instructed to do. Ben Terrell nnnAars to be the daddy of the resolution. No matter what may be the ilia you l4ar from indigestion, a dose of Ayer8 Cathartic Pills will ease you without question.' Just try them onco and bo assured; they have much worse dyspep tics cured. You'll And them nice and amplyworth the price, There is more inclination to favor the third party than is generally supposed. The idea is championed principally by politicians who have failed to get recognition in the old par ties and they are gettiug some following. The seed of discon tent has been sown by hot-head ed politicians while the conser vative leaders of the Alliance depricate such hasty inconsid erate action. There was a double murder m Winston last woeK. A crowd ot boys was out on a "lark" in the neighborhood of Beta's pond and got into a fuss. Two of tho boys left and took refuge in the house' of a negro not far away, but they were followed into the house and an indiscriminate shooting began, and resulted in the killing of one of the boys named Smith, and the negro man's wife. Cleveland went out of offico with a surplus. The Republi cans have successfully squan dered all this together with increased income from the in creased taxation imposed by the McKinley bill, and now there is a big deficit. And the people mav expect higher tax es. Will tho peophrrsiop to think? Ror. Baylus Cade has re signed as editor of tjio Pro gressive Farmer, and Maj. P. F. Duffy takes his place. Mr. Cade retires, he says, because he thinks it his duty, as after careful study ho cannot sup port tho Sub-Treasury scheme and thinks it would be disas trous to tne people. Alliance Speaking. Mr. C.
