And Salisbury's Pst office receipt have kept up a uniform increase of 50 per cent all the year! Pity that the statement comes along now that Salis bury's vhiskey business amounts to$l,0"0,000 a year and thus knocks the beauty spot off the post ofice showing. From an editorial in the ConcoH Tribune it is to be iudged that the graded schools of that thrifty town are receiv ing rather free criticism from thinkirg, conservative citizens. The conduct, management, and results of the schools ap pear tc bp t'.nsatisfactory. "Let's find tie trouble," says the Tribune, "and correct it, that there nay be nothing to handi cap the work or to bring dis credit o the schools." It is so unusual a thing for southern banks to lend money to banks at the north the recent loans c( this sort have attracted no suull degree of attention in the newspapers. The Charlotte Chronicle says that a bank of that c ty actually shipped the cash t ) a northern bank. The Wihni-igton Messenger says t'l it the bar.ks of that city have been aiding their northern correspon dents f jr six or eight weeks by making them loans from their heavy deposits. All of which make nighty good reading for our fol s. The business of buildingj roads is still going on in Meck lenburg, at the rate of a dozen miles :i year. That county now has 15'J miles or more of maca dam loads. In an article re lating to the subject which we have printed upon the first page it is s t forth that the tax for roads which at first met so much jpposition is now cheer fully laid, especially by the farmers who are earnest sup porters of good roads. It is usi ally, one might say in variab'v, the case that good roads vindicate themselves as paying investments. LETTER TO GAZETTE READERS J. H.

Before taking his seat he demanded a vote which le trot aud bv it elected Mr Moore.

A dispatch from Salisbury says that all the year a uniform increase of 50 per cent in postal receipts was maintained. So rapidly has the governmental business grown, that a heavier force than ever before employed is now doing the work of the of fice. 1 his is taken as a strong indication that Salisbury's ap plication for a public building will receive attention at the present term of Congress. The struggle that a new clerk of a congressional committee makes with names of men aud places which he has never In his life before heard was re cently Illustrated by an experience of Itepreseutative Ernest F. Acheson of Pennsylvania, says the Washington correspondent of the New Vork Times. Mr. Acheson has been trying to get a public building at Charleroi, the town lu his district noted for Its glass in dustries. He went to the room of the committee on public buildings and grounds to arrauge a hearing. The chairman of the committee was chang ed the other day, and Itepreseutative Bartholdt of St. Louis holds the place. with the Incident that his secretary had been made clerk of the committee. I would like to know," said Mr. Acheson, "when I can have a hearing for my bill for a $-123,000 building at Charleroi." Where?" asked the clerk. Charleroi." Charley Hoy," said the clerk. "I never heard of that place before." "Not 'Charley Itoy,' " explained Mr. Acheson, "but C-h-n-r-l-e-r-o-1. The clerk wrote It down wrong. Acheson then himself wrote It, exclaim ing as he finished, "Charles, the king!" Thereupon tht obliging clerk, catching on to his job, wrote under the name of Charleroi the additional words, "Rep resentative Charles King desires to know when he can have a hearing." "Oh, my, no!" Interrupted the Penn sylvania member. "My name Is Acne- son, and mat town out mere is namea Charleroi after Chr.rles, one of the kings of France.

Raising nosy has always been re garded as a profitable Industry, but raising wolves has It beaten ten ways, according to a special dispatch from Burlington. la., to the St Louis Post- Dispatch. It has come to the ears of Des Moines county officials that the latter occupation is being carried on systematically by a few farmers, who hope to reap a good profit next spring. The county pays $2 for every cub wolf scalp presented at the auditor's of fice and $5 for every old wolfs scalp. It has been noticed for several years past that certain farmers have been reaping a rich harvest each spring on the bounties they received for wolf scalps. It is rarely that an old wolfs scalp is presented, and this fact served to arouse the suspicions of the county officials. A farmer from one of the townships where the wolves have been particu larly piennrui was in Burlington re cently and unburdened himself of a few hunches concerning the wolf in dustry. "It's more profitable to raise wolves than It Is hogs," said this farmer. "If you have noticed, the scalps of the old wolves are never turned lu for bounty. There Is a good reason for this, as the elimination of the old wolves would put an end to the propagation of the species, also put an end to the collec tion of wolf bounties. 4 Why, I know a farmer who has considerable timber land on his place who has several old wolves that are as tame as shotes. "It costs little or nothing to keep tbem, and every spring when the young wolves are born the lair Is In vaded aud the youngsters knocked on the head before their eyes are open. They mean $2 apiece at the auditor's office. "It's surprising how a fairly domes ticated pair of wolves will make race suicide look silly. If an effort was made I warrant that every wolf la the county could be exterminated In a short time, but what's the use of exterminating them when a little en couragement will keep them aUre and breeding two dollar bills T It Is aald an investigation will be made by county officials luto this atate of affairs and the enterprising wolf breeders prosecuted. , FIGHTING FOR THE COLORS.

It is interesting to notice that that old favorite, "progressive whist." is threatened by a somewhat formida ble rival, says the Loudon Mail. The new game Is called the "ililtour" game, which Is'played at tables, each representing a different country and each bearing a fort In which is stuck one large flag of the country the table represents and about twenty little ones of the same nationality. The object of the game U to capture as many "for eign" flags as possible for one's "coun try." This Is done by two players from each table moving from their own "ter ritory" and attacking the two remain ing players at another table by playing one band at whist. Should the attack lug pair win they take back a flag and put It lu their own fort. The. fjuir players who capture the most flags for their coubtrjr during the eveulug are -the winners. The game Is most fas cinating, for each pair of players, play ing together all the evening, are vir tually playing for the honor of their country. - A Silence Clnb. Some suburbanites near London have organized a club for Individual Im provement, says the New York Trib une. It Is called the Silence club. There are sixteen members, whose weekly fee Is sixpence.
