County Gorernment Bill. , j , The county government bill which the fusionists will givo the country, is not remarkable for anything especially. There is nothing brilliant-about it, ex ceptthat common every day people could read the bill twen ty years and then not. know - what it means. The most of it is simply a conglomeration of references to the code laws, striking out words and senten ces here and there, thus giving any amount of technicalities for lawyers to get up cases on, -but giving the people very lit tie; information. Instead ' l of making a straight bill that all people could understand, j it was evidently drafted for the purpose of increasing the prac tice of lawyers. So far as we, can decipher, there are to be three county Commissioners elected by the voters every two years 1 ; County officers are left the same as at present. ; Justices or tne peace arej relieved of ; all their present I duties and ; privileges in con nection with the Board of Commissioners, and the "Corns, .are left free to "do as they please without regard to the ,mjjis " trates, even to the levying 01 taxes. -- ''; : ' 'County officers raayapp'ealito tne superior court on the ques- J . tion of bonis. . ' ' -. . '1 The bill provided that upon the sworn complaint of five 4 'respectable citizeus, and up on petition of 200 "electors 100 of whom must bo free holders' the Judge of the Superior court may appoint two "honest and discreet" men of the county to act with the 'Board of Corns. But the -complaint has to be sworn $0 specifically - that the commissioners. have unlawfully managed and used the county funds. It would take twenty Philadelphia lawyers of extra ordinary perceptive T faculties to discover where the benefits .to the people come in by this provision. In the first place .the 'money must actually be squandered before the . "two honest" men can be appointed; "What is the use of the "honest" men after the people's mony has already been squandered? Is It simply to create t wo office holders f.r the; people to pay 'i That is all there is. in it. And a.nb t her cu riou s thing i s that the three "rascals" are still retained as the board ; of Com missioners,' after having squan dered the' money "unlawfully and wrongfully." There is no wav to eret them out, and the third It is perfectly lovely the way things are running. Total number pupils enroll d 127.

I Lusk's ntire resolution was a set of les, but it was adopted and put n the record-of course. as a fusion resolution. an Henderson could exactly openly vote for the pack of lies, but would not vote against it. In connection with this, quite an interesting -little qpisode took place, in which Jrer Henderson was caught by Mr. Ray in several things that were not exactly ; consiStant' yith the truth. Here is the report of the matter: Henderson "the coon skinner,?' from Vilkes, didn't vote at ail so he said we had done enough for the colored folks, j 1 didn't want them to do anything 'to put a load 011 us, and therefore I didn't vpte. He evidently smarted under the cat in the News and Observer about the refusal to ai.l to build the monument and too adjournment in honor of Douglass. He said that York voted for Christmas admired by v the Chronicle. Hon. W. L. Wil son, of West Virginia, the author of the Wilson Bill, is to as it j De nis successor, lie win mate Our ; a good one. , nOt I Van WAllfinrn'o Tt'ttx fA Buff ; Esq. E. M . ' IFellborn wrote a letter to bur man Ruff Hen- in 1873 that york, then' a Democrat, was in the House and when York came hick to Wilkes he (Henderson) de nounced York's vote for Christmas. Mr. Ray got the journal and proved tt at York was not even a member of the Legislature of 1873, which had been re ferred to. ; Mr. Henderson continuing, I didn't tl ink it was right ani therefore I didn't v( te for it. Mr. Ray asxed Henderson if he had any regard at all for the truth. Henderson said that Overman had in-' vitea Joseph C irruui (col.) to a seat on the floor of the House. Ray said Price in irried a black wife. Ray admitted th at Cleveland, appointed Price minister tola negro country and that the Presi- ; dent did rigrht to send him to a negro country Henderson repeated , the dis carded lie about airs.

Any man who says r did is a liar and the truth is not in him. , derson a few. days ago, which is - reported in the Editorial correspondence of the Charlotte Observer, as folio ws : . "Dear Ruff: I see you have about abolished the Staiutory law. ' Next waek.'tis said that you. will abolish the common law. For God's sake spare the Mosaic, so that I will have some basis to work on," It remains to be - seen as to whether or not they will leave on the books any of the Mosaic law. Lusk or some one may introduce a resolution abolish ing the whole thing. cy, punctuality and deportment during the" month are the follow ihgy with JVC.

A bril liant reform. A Fast Disappearing Family. A few days ago, down in the Ronda country Ben Parks and George Parks, colored, died. They were brothers. It is rathet remarkable, that within the last few months 6 or 7 of t Rat family of colored people have died. Within the lastl 18 or 20 months some 15 members of ; this family have passed away. They seem to be fated to succumb to the ravages of disease. . The mother of this family is still living and is over 100 years old. two 'honest" men are simply to sit by anol' watch the. three "rascals" dohe business. t The remainder of the. bill ; is simnlv referinir to words , and clauses in the Code. - ! "Serious Accident.- ' - One day last week sat' TSjorris & Hamby's saw .mill, up on Lewisi Fork a- serious accident ' occ u rred -Mr. " Ham by was should eringa large shaft of iron whenlMf-ElkanaStike; aged about fifty years walked up behind him,;and in fun placed "his hands on the shaft.' It was -too' heavy to fee shouldered and it fell and jln, falling caught Stike. N It fell across his breast and made him uncop3cious? for awhile He is seriously hurt liat is improving aoiixe now. Dr. R. L. Payne, a prominent physician of Lexington, ,?N. C. was shot and killed one day last week by a young married mi,n by the name of Baxter Snemwell. It seems that, there hajs been' bad blood between tnem some time. Dr. Payne wks an excellent physician with an. extensive reputation! Young She.m wel I is of an exce ' -lent and prominent family but is t rather desperate when aroused . ' , One by one the roses fall," and one by one the scales are begining to drop from the eyes of the people. The fusionists made a terrible campaign against railroads, free passes, National banks, and such . tike. Tne first thing of importance do le by the fusion Legislature we s ' to pass an interest law wl icn will give a monopoly of mc hey lending to' the National oa iks. ' And as to f ree : passes', th;re never was a Legislature that used half so many ' as the present one- Jbst of t he Leg islature .went to Newbern last week on passes, VJjver mem ber.gets.a pass when he; wants to go anywhere, so far as we can. learn, and more than: that, every member of his family can h a v e. a p as s by t h e ; m e n t i o n , -. a s aiou nay 01 ins k.iu iuik.u - ui Wiles' Hoase Barned hy outlaws. That section up in the forks of Roaring River where they every now and then do some thing to give those people up there a reputation, all oer the country was the scene of anoth er outrage on Thursday night of last week. A crowd went to J. R Wiles about 2 o'clock that night. Wiles was not at home. The crowd went to the house of Wiles' mother, about 100 or more yards from Wiles' and set fire to it. The old lady is about 80 years old. The house was destroyed but most of the property was saved. They also placed some straw under WilesMiouse and set fire to it. r His : wife discovered it and put out th-e " blaze before the house caught. .The outlaws shot some 25 or 30 timc.s, but did not hurt any one.; i The rowdies are hot known, but are supposed to be some of the number of blockaders .up in that section who; accuse W il esof , report in g them. That is a tough section in there, and about three fourths of them ought, to be vung and be done with it. .
