The Chronicle, WILKESBORO, N. CJ ; '.- " - Some Work or tle Legislature. The new state road law is by no : means so thorough as it was hoped t have it and does not give the ; state ' authority enough, yet it is a step for ward. Early in April the newly created state highway commission will mee and will arrange for making suggestions to the counties. Fifteen of the - latter ".are now macadamizine roads. . One county is arranging for a $200,000 bond - issue for that nurDOse and ten other counties are adopting road legislation ' Thp.re ia mnr.h satisfaction at the nw law rennirinr all executions o. criminals : to be private. Heretofor that matter has been left to the discre tion of : county authorities 3 and as a result there have been some shameful exhibitions of brutality on the part of the spectators, who gathered by. thousands.

It creates a commission of three, salarv 1.500 each. The present coda -w- J .... was proposed in 1883. . - : The duties of the corporation commis sion are immensely increased by this legislature. The commission is made the board of tax assessors and equal izers. The recent evidence in the tax assessment cases, taken in some, thirtv counties. clearly snowed mat, not only was there great inequal ity' of taxation, but gross under valuation of private property, and that in fact something like a third of. the latter has escaped taxation. One of the commissioners informs me that their chief duty is to be the "discovery" of property which has escaped taxation, He gave me some instances of mequai itv. Taking 515 as the value of a spindle in a cotton mill, it was found that the assessment was only $5 in Gaston county, which leads the state in number of mills, while it was $13 in Mecklenburg and $14 in Alamance. The prohibition idea has grown im mensely and the prediction that this legislature would widely increase prohibition territory proves to have been correct. The counties of : Clay, Cumberland, Duplin, Bladen, Madison. Sampson and Yancy are given complete prohibition. Ten dispensaries: have been established. The Wills.es and Stanly County Bond Cases. Charlotte Observer. A Washington dispatch this morning tells that the Supreme Court of the United States has affirmed the decision below in the Wilkes county, N. C, bond case. This means that Wilkes county will not have to pay the bonds issued in behalf of the Northwestern North Carolina. Railroad. The county voted bonds to extend this road from Winston to Wilkesboro and the bonds were marketed and the road built. Then the question was raised as to the formality of the vote by which the act authorizing the county to vote on the bond issue passed the Legislature. It appeared, as a matter of fact, that the act had not been read three times on different days in both branches of the Legislature, according to the constitu tional requirement. The case has been fought through the Superior and Su preme Courts of North ; Caroliaa, - and Circuit Court of Appeals to the Su preme , Court of the United States, where it is finally adjudicated against the holders of the bonds. Thus Wilkes eats her cake and has it she has her railroad and doesn't have to pay for it. The case has been fought with vigor and ability in behalf of the county, by ex-Judge A. C. Avery, and he has won a notable victory. We infer that this decision carries the Stanly bond case with it. The two may differ as to im material points hut are substantially alika, the act under which Stanly voted bonds for the Yadkin Railroad having passed the Legislature as the Wilkes bond election law did, without full compliance with the constitutional for malities. : i A Sheriff ArreiU m Judge. ; Columbia, S. C, March20. -A! gen tleman who has just come here from Marion gives an interesting account of the escape of Judge Ernest Gary i from quarantine in that town. , A case of smallpox developed; in a hotel and caused the adjournment of court. With a., good many others, wcw Mwrsg XXX vuo J and for several days no attention was laid to the case of sickness, but during the night it was diagnosed as smallpox, and prompt action was taken by the health authorities who haver just been given additional power by the legisla ture. 'When the iudce and othpr t boarders arose they found a ring of special policemen around the house, and yellow flags were ; flying. Judge Gary could not stand that. He ' had no liking for smallpox; and important : business: called him to another town; Orders were sent- to adiourn court. Then the judge disappeared from the : hotel. - Just how he passed the line of I sentinels mav never be exnl&ined. hut. the next thing beard of him he was at ..the depot a mile away awaiting for the -train. The sheriff hastened to the spot and under the authority of the board of health arrested the judge for "jumping" ; .quarantine. Then the sheriff having other business, left the Judge in charge of a town marshal. : The train came' along and when it left the marshal was minus a prisoner. Judge Gary stepped aboard and has not been of since. The' marshal was fined $5.00 for letting a prisoner escape. i.

Not as Bad sa XV as Feared. ; Charlotte Observer." v . TheBaleigh Post had this editorial a few days ago: "There is evidently much uneasiness existing out the : State concerning the revenue bill as extracts from various papers which we have copied show, most if not all of of which is due to the injudicious and drastic measures introduced, but most of which failed of adoption. This shows the evil of even the introduction of such measures. It will ; take weeks ; yet before the pub lic can be' assured of. the . real character of the measure " which is to tax their energy and ; their ; property and bear upon then: business affairs. There will be some complaints as it is but by no means the cause for - such that the public had at one time by virtue of the indiscreet to call it by no harsher term propositions, of some members, to fear. This hill illustrates the sensitiveness of the business inter ests of the State, and how easily tbey can be seriously affected; by designing or thoughtless legislators. And it shows the necessity, also, of the prompt est and fullest publicity of all measures introduced, and the fullest as well as fairest hearing bv legislators of those ----- ... m ', interested. VLet all go to work now tobuild up the State. And especially let the business people, : of all vocations, co operate in putting down those dema- gogues in the estate wno constantly - . . JJ. . ... . " . ' .i make war on legitimate enterprises of the people. ; Unaoubtedly the revenue bill is - not the monster that it once promised to be, and the most of -the iniudicions and harmful legislation proposed by wild eyed gentlemen failed of enactment. But as The Post suggests much evil has resulted from the fact that the State was even threatened with it and much undeserved unpopularity attaches to the Legislature on account of the intro duction of these measures and the lack of knowledge on the part of the, public as to what finally became of them. - It will be a long time before this is def initely known, and meantime harm results to the dominant party in the State. We concur in The Post's advice that all hands go to work now to build up the State's interests and 'sit down on the pestiferous demagogues who are trying to tear them down; who never try to help but are always seeking to hurt some individual or interest; who - live off the men of energy and enterprise and who are yet forever warring upon them because of the mistaken notion that the paupers and blackguards are a majority in North-Carolina and that the way to popularity is by attack on thrift and decency. mill Failure Drove President to Suicide. Chaklotte, N. C, March 19. Mr. John ft. Ashe, a prominent citizen of Yorkville, S. C, committed suicide last night by jumping into a well. Despond ency is said to have been the cause of i the rash act. The York Cotton Mill, of Yorkville, shut down yesterday, the failure being announced yesterday afternoon. The liabilites are reckoned at $ 70,000. i The mill was built several years ago, and for the first two years had made money, j Within the last year the capacity of the mill had been doubled. .The purchase of new machinery, and enlargement of the mill, coming simultaneously with the high price of cotton, caused it to collapse. The failure of the mill, and the death of Mr. Ashe, coming as they do together, and one being caused by the i other, have caused deep distress in that i town. . - ' An Aet of Heroism , Charlotte Observer, 19th. . ; Green Bost, a colored man about 35 years ol age, saved a child's life t at Newell yesterdays and the residents of of that village now look upon him as a hero. as a norin-Dounu freight train was m m m ' - ." leaving the station about 4 in the after noon, a number of people who were in the vicinity of Newell & Wallace's store, which is close to the track, were hor rified to see Fannie May, the two-year-old daughter of Dr. W.

Washington Post, Sorrows of tbe Millionaire. Look at the ways of the millionaire. Given his million, he gives up his house and builds himself a small, first class hotel in some big city, which for the greater part of the year is occupied by servants. He next erects a country palace at Lenox or at Newport. This he calls a cottage, though it usually looks more like a public library or a hospital or a clubhouse.
