We. do not give the verified statement of the sheriff of the amount of money he had on hand on thb first Monday in the month as required by Sec. 98, chapter 7 of the Public Laws of 1901, for the reason he did not make one. Every time the Commissionera fail to require the sheriff to make auch report, there is a misdemean or committed, the punishment nf which is more severe than that of carrying a pistol or assault with a deadly weapon. The Superior Court has been in session here for nearly two weeka and a good many people have been prosecuted for nearly every crime known to the criminal code of the State except for misdemeanor in office. The people of the county would like to know why it ia that ther sous are prosecuted for every frivi lous case that can be raked up against them and at the same time the officers of the county who nuke I their living out of the prosecutions other people are allowed to violate the law with impunity.

' fuhlDgtoB Letter Washington March 8d By its staunch adherence to the constitu tion and its logical exposition of the law, as voiced by Benator Baily of Texas, the democratic minority in the Senate scored a signal victory last week ana lorcea President pro tem Jrye to recede from the autocratic position which he had assumed. Following the personal encounter between Sena tors Tillman and McLaurin which had occurred last Saturday, and to which only the unjustifiable action of Senator Frve leads me to refer, the President pro tem caused to bo erased from the rolls of the Senate the names of the two senators from South .Carolina. For the reason anted, when the Philippine bill was passed on Monday afternoon neither senator was given an op portunity to vote. Senator Bailev, however, so ably presented the un constitutionality of the action of the Chair that their names were re stored on the following day and the republicans caused an ' immediate djonrmnent of Tuesday a and Wednesday's sostions because they feared to act in the matter until the Committee on Privilege and Elections had reported. - Thursday the Senate met in joint session with the House to participate in the memorial services held for President McKinley and on Friday the "above - committee reported, censuring both senators for having violated the dignity of the Senate and removingfromthem the stigma of contempt which had been placed upon them by the whole Senate in executive session. " There it a farther report due from the above named committee. It has been instructed to investi gate the charts of Senator Tillman that Mr. McLaurin was bribed with the promise of 'he federal patronage of the state, to vote for the ratification of the treaty of Paris. As is well-known, the junior Senator from Sooth Carolina had made a epech in the. Senate de nouncing the tre.ty, and later, a'ler a call at tbe White House, he vc-U-i f-ri'.s rat;f.oation. He ho ; ; 1 i a.r'l tr the r r-.l.-; i . ( '! 1 ,? C ' I t:.o federal appointments in his state. The democratic senators declare that the republicans dare not pur suetheihvertigatjoh of Mr. Tillman's charges and say that no further re port will be brought in, On Friday the Senate passed the permanent! census bill. It was pasaed by the House on the same day and the?' President will have now an opportunity of demonstat ing how sincere he is in his protesta tions of regard for civil service re form, as the - bill is the severest blow to the reform and the aima of the Conimissloii -i which' has been struck by Congress in years. J By its provisions it gives precedent in the line of appointment to about 1500 employe! of the Census Office who were appointed by the "spoils system" over a 'nearly equal num ber who have pasaed civil service examinations' and are eligible to appointment as soon as vacancies occur. , Senator Rawlins of Utah, who is a member of the Philippines Committee, and has been in con stant attendance at the hearings of that Committee save me yesterday some of the Impressions and views which he has formed on the Philip pine question ? j'The policy of the administration," he said, "as is made evident by the investigation and testimony before tbe commit tee and the policy of the republicans so far as ihey have announced it, is contrary, not only to democratic principles but to every precedent in the government of this country' and the only outcome must be if these plans are carried into execu tion, the virtual surrender of the islands to large capitalists and the attendant enslavement of the people. As you know, there is a scheme now on foot to purchase the land held bythetriars. That is all right- aa far ao it gbee but now the Taft Commission represents that it wilj fee impractjBl t,diapose of, these lands, as hat been the custom with government lands in this ooun try. to the small owners and settlers. Great capital, they say, is needed to develops the islands and according ly they would sell or lease immense racta of land to large corporations It will then be their policy to admit Chinese immigration. At the pre sent time the labor in the islands is employed, in so far as it is wil ling to be, but they with to import Chinese labor for the developemertt of the islands, again,, which will work lor from $5 to 10 per month and find itself. This labor will be emnloved in the production, of sugar and other profitable Crepe and will - result in 5 k menace to American InduBtrles;":; -1" water in the town was nearly three feet higher, as shown by the water marks in the old jail, than in Juuo 1876, still the larger portion of the town was in no danger whatever. The most of the houses that were washed away, were built on grounds which had been redeemed from the river by the railroad beinir built past the town on a rock waU con siderably out in the river, and had been filled up between the town and the wall . Zooms of the flood. It is reported that the new iron bridge near the Palmer iord, which had not been completed, was wash ed away by the recent high water. The North Carolina Land and Timber Company was a heavy loser by the flood. One section ol their boom near Putnam gave a way and it is said they lot a mil lion and a half jfeet of fine logs. The water was the highest ever known at the Hot Springs, running all over the golf ground and the lawn at the Mountain ' Park Hotel The bath house and the swimming pool were overflowed and the bath house washed away. But arrange ments were already on foot to tear down the old bath house to build new and more commodious ones in its place. The management of tlw property hope to have every thing in perfect trim in a short time. It seems that the lower down the river the worse tbe dam ages were. The farms of O. T. Garratt, Ed. N. Fry, the Ottinger farms, Col. Ray's farm and in fact. all of the bottoms from below the Hot Springs in this county, were almost ruined. famous Black mountain. The snow was laying in great drifts. hence, when the rain descended last Thursdsy the stream begau to swell without notice. The bystand era could see that there was dangei ahead. In the course of two hours, it be' came a rushing torrent, bristling with wreckage, fecked with foam maddened to desperation by its downward tumble. The mill property just below Democrat was totally destroyed Then every little house or barn was swept away and the mill house of Logan and other buildings, ran against tbe new bridge recently 1 li 1 n 1 mm m . nun. to raimera lord and it was swept away.' The roads are in a shape that it will be 80 days before they can be travelled. THOS. J. MURRAY, THE FLOOD! Ia view of the fact that auch ex aggerated statements have been sent out concerning the flood in the town of Marshall; we have deemed it necessary to give to our readers, as near aa possible, the exact situation..'. : V v-'. f v According to the most cooserva tive estimate of the damages to the Drocerty In the town, outside- of the damage to railroad property, it could not be over ; ten thousand dollars. s There was not a aingte house damaged on the aide of the street next to the mountain below the Hardwlck branch near the de pot. All of the small buildings on tbe tide of the street next to the ri ver, duwn as far as the old ware house, were either carried away or badly damaged,' and the" old ware house waa alao somewhat injured, but it did sot take very much to repair it and make it s good as it was befor. : ' ' V' - There waa not a single house in jured on the side ol the street next to the river, b-low the old ware house, except the small houses near the jail which were dislodged from their foundations, but not destroyed, and the bara . of Fowler Bheltoa and the warehouse of J. Wiley Nelson, which wereourried The water waa- up ia a good nuay, but not alt, the buildings n that side of tbe street and in- i cxxJs and house rlander but waa cone to the luild-jbadly damajed. t:.c:i:e!v. Allhou- the We a.l kuo AT OUTLOOK. Editor Rxcobo : As evory one that takes the Record tells bis story about the recent flood, I de- sir to add awordV. I am agreeably surprised to see that Marshall is no worse damaged than It is; we heard that it was al most totally deatroyed. Iu the upper part of the county, east of Marshall, on the creeks known as Bull Creek, Gabriel's creek, White Oak, Little Ivy and Big Ivy river, considerable damage was done. roe mill dam of wnitt Bros . was washed away. On Gabriel's creek, the mill dam of Ray k Tillery, near Mars Hill, was washed away and tbe torrent was so raging that it utterly de molished Ben Debruhl's packhouse, coutainiug mowing machines and various other fanning implements, sin ruiiiip oucjiuvf iuiu . besides doing great damage to Rob ert Buckner, sr., near the dam, about midnight the water surround ed hia bouse, knocking the pillars from under his dwelling house, and most turning bis stable over. . .On White Oak, at 4 o'clock p. m. the small creek began to swell with treat rapidity; at dark it was out of the banks, threatening destruction. The writer knew of a certainty that the flood would play havoc. The darkness kept our people in doors and as the wee stua' hours of tb night wore on, uneasiness rest ed npon the brow; of every one. At 11 :30 a strange noise was heard, as though it was a woman in distress. I hurried to the door, and found Sol Fisher, his mother, bis wife, and all hia children, standing on my front porch. - Sol politely raised hia hat and said "good evening". : The ladies were in excitement, wnue eoi stooa erect, not a nerve twitching, look ed me straight ia the eye and said "I would like to stay all night with you." To be sure," i remaned. I inquired what was the matter, and he said Ob nothing, only the creek is so high that it has waabed my steps away and knocked the pillars out from under my bouse and I carried my children out of the house in waW to my kueesl On Little Ivy the bottom land is very badly damaged. Prof. Bocknera mill race w washed away.. Sprinkle i-Qeorge's store came very near washing awa and waa considerably damaged. The rolling mill of Edwards Eros' was very badly damajd. Tbe furma of White O.k are very AT BARNARD Mr. Editor In regard to the destruction at Barnard, caused by the high waters of French Broad, it is almost too great to mention.; The vigorous waves broke their way through the botoms above the depot, gathering up the ruins of au old store, that the rail road Co., had left there, carrying it on in a breast until it struck Mr, Miles's stock-bam, wrecking the barn con siderably and knocking off several planks from his corn crib, which caused a nice lot of corn destroyed. The old ruins washed on and lodged against the upper comer of his dwelling, causing tbe water to flow iu at the windows. Mr Miles and Mr. John Warner were forced to take their families from the house and move their housepluuder in the depot. The wavea daahed higher and higher until they swept the porch from the dwelling, under mining the upper corner causing it to sink several feet all through the houso leaving the tanrswmlmosi ' a complete wreck. Mr. Miles's gar den wnce, wagon, ana mowing machine and many other valuable things washed away, Mr. R. H. Haynie lost about 14 thousand feet of 'umber. -.His saw- mill was almost buried by drifts of logs and mud. f 1 The damage done to the rail road between , Barnard and Hot Springs is to great to mention, tbe the road is almost a complete wrecks. The waves of Brush Creek rolled higher than they have for many years. Washing the bridge away between Barnard and Jewel HJl!t' and sweeping little things on be fore her as she went. " , . The well known barber of Put- man Mr. Hail Chandler from Jewel ' Hill lost his barber shop'' and all y his tools, but he will rebuild at once. Surely the people will learn bet- ; ter and quit building' on the water's edge, when we have to many beautiful hill tops-' in. our' country. , The remains of Bob Chandler who fell asleep at his post of , duty on the rail road and waa killed by ; the train above Barnard, were -buried at Jewell Hill, , Feb. 27. - - & a s td a (Sua O & Q SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS We Sell Only John L.
