OVIock.
Mrs. W. J. W. Crowder, the wife of
Rev. Crowder, died this morning at
6 o'clock at her home on West
Jones street in the 73rd year of her
age. She was a well beloved Christian
lady and leaves a husband and several
children.
Fi r yeirs she has been an invalid
and death came to her at last more as
a relief from suffering than as the
dark, cruel angel he is usually looked
upon. But to the bereaved family
and many, rainy friends his coming
in this instance is a cruel blow. They
may take consolation in the thought
that never was death met more cheer
fully aud never did any one fear his
coming less than that long-suffering
patient, Christian lady.
The funeral services will be be held
tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock from
Edenton street M. E. church, the
church of which Mrs. Crowder had so
long been a faithful and devoted mem

A STAB IN THE BACK.
THE ABSURD BILL SNEAKED
THROUGH BY BAGWELL.
To Slake WnkeV Constable Raleigh
Tow :il.i;.'M Tax Collector.
Oat of the Chaos created by the late
legislature pops up a bill that is a
blow aimed directly at Sheriff
Page and one that was evi
dently sneaked through near the close
of the session. It was a veritable stab
in tbe back, and the man who aimed
the blow, who introduced the bill
is representative Bagwell. It is an
act to provide for the appointment by
the board of county commissioners of
a special township collector for eaeh
township in Wake county with the
proviso that the tax collectors so ap
pointed shall be the constables for
the varions townships. The bill, in
addition to being aa act, aimed out of
special spite at the sheriff of Wake
countv, is an absolutely absurd one.
The bond of the township collectors is
filed at the same figure as that re
quired of the constables. A moment's
thought will show the folly of this
when it is stated that the taxes in
Raleigh township amount to $60,000
from which the commissions for col
lection will amount to $3,000, and that
the bond of the man appointed to col
lect these taxas will be the pitifully
small sum of $500. But it is a plain
case. A special grudge against sheriff
Page is the reason the bill was intro
duced. But in addition to this the bill's
passage was not an honorable one. At
least that is what various legislators
think and say. It was sneaked
through near the close of the session.
iHere is the history : The bill was
first introduced in the house by Bag
well and the house, taking this fact as
a cue that it was of little importance,
paised it. Some one called Jim
Young's attention to it and he ex
plained the bill and moved to recon
sider it and refer to the finance com
mittee. This was done. There was no
more beard of it in the house, although
it came up in and pissed the senate.
And yet a few days after the legisla
ture adjourned up pops this bill, hav
ing passed three readings in each
house and having been duly ratified
on March 0.
There is doubt, however, as to
whether the bill is legal. A decision,
in King vs Hunter, in 65 N. C.
Reports, says that such an act is un
constitutional as the emoluments of of
fice are private property and can
not be taken away by the legislature.
Judge Bynura handed down this
opinion. '
THE DIME SAVINGS BANK.
Sbscription Rooks Were Opened
Today Sliu h Stock Taken.
This morning the subscription book
of the new Mechanic'sSavings Bank
were opened and the committee to so
licit stock subscriptions started to
work. That they were successful, be
yond their expectations even, goes
without saying.
This bank, which was only recently
ncorporated by the legislature, is
designed to do a great work in help-
ng people to help themselves. That
the bank will be a success cannot be
doubted for it is the very thing which
the people have all along wanted. No
matter how small may be a person's
means he or she will be encouraged
by this institution to save something.
As its name implies deposits will be
received from ten cents upward.
A feature will be, it is understood,
the keeping of the bank open at night,
on Saturday evenings, in order that.
the weekly wage earner may have a
chance to put by something from his
wages, " for a rainy day." The bank
is a good thing and deserves success.
The committee who are soliciting sub
scriptions are W, N. Jones, B. R. La
cy, D. M. King, N. B. Broughton, J.
A. Mills, J. S. Wynne and John B.
Kenney. It is thought best to have
the stock diversified. Therefore one
peron may take only a limited number
of shares. .
