ARE YOU SAVING MONEY.
ONE ques'ion that every person should ask hiuself is. Am
I savii g money ? There is no assurance that your pres
ent income will continue indefinately. In fact, there is
every reason to believe that sickness or some other mis
fortune many come to you, requiring additional outlay of money,
and it may be at the same time stopping your income, either tem-
:prariS or permanently.

State, Count' ami ''ity Ta; On
The Guano Manufactured
By Them.
Judge Frank Carter rmdered a de
cision last Friday in Craven County
Superior Court which mav mean a sav
ing to the people or N rth Car dina
the enormous sum of $2"0, IX) or more
this year and even greater saving in
the years to come. The judgments,
for there were two cases involving pr ic
tically the same question, were render
ed in the cases of the Pocomoke Guano
Co.. vs. J. W. Biddle. Sheriff of Cra
ven county and the Board of Commis
sioners of Craven county and the D B.
Martin Company against the same de
fendants. It seems that for twenty
years or more there has been a statute
on the books providing for an inspection
charge of twenty cents on each ton of
fertilizer sold in the state and that the
charge is paid by the purchase of cer
tain tags by the guano manufacturers
from the Agricultural Department of
the State. These tags are atta-hed to
all of guano sold in North Carolina and
the statute after providing for the pur
chase of the tags and the placing of
them upon the guano packed, goes on
to say that whenever any manufactur
er of fertilizers shall have paid the
charges for the tags, his goods shall
not be liabieto any further tax. whether
by city town or county. This law, the
fertilizer manufacturers claim, ex
empt them from any tax levied on them
from paying any tax levied on them by
any county or town. The Board of
Commisioners of Craven county recent
ly caused the fertilizer of the plaintill's
in the cases mentioned to be placd on
the tax books and ordered the sherilf to
collect the taxes just as taxes were col
luded from other species of property.
Then it was that the plai illlTs refused
to pay the tax.
The city was represent I in the case

Carter said, that he was satisfied lha1
the constitution of the . ale required
j all real and personal pr-perty to be
Uxes by a uniform rule ai cording to its
j true value in money and and that all
taxed levied by any county must be

ing of World's Scries at
New Tort Yesterday.
The New York Giants with Christy
Mattherson in the box and Big Chief
Neyees behind the bat took the first
game in the world's Beries yesterday
afternoon. It was aclosw, hard fought
game.
Philadelphia scored the first run in
the second innipg, but the Giants never
faltered, they ca.ne from behind and
tied the sere in the 4th inning. They
kept at their task with bull dog tenaci
ty and scored the winning run in the
seventh inning, with Matthewson work
ing in the form, that makes him invin
ci de, and which has earned for him the
title of King of Pitchers, there could be
but one result, namely, victory for the
Giants. The great battling strength of
the Athletics failed to materialize and
they were lucky to get their low tilly.
Collins and Baker, the Athletic's two
greatest stars failed to shine very
brightly. (Perhaps it was cloudy) The
game was witnessed by the largest
crowd that ever attended a ball game.
It was estimated that between sixtj
and seventy thousand people witnessed
the contest. The ne-irhy telephone and
telegraph poles and house tops was
lined with spectators.
Much goes to prove that baseball ap
peals to the ma-tses as no other sport
does.

against white people and twent
against negroes. We make seven
sentments.
We visi'ed the office of the Register
of Deeds, and found the records neatly
kept, and in a business like manner;
the office has a very neat and clean ap
pearance. We visited the office of the Cierk of
the Court, and found all records kept
in a business-like way, as far as the fa
cilities ')f that ofli -e will permit, but
we rec immend that the vault be en
larged at once, so thai all records can
be preserved properly, which is impos
sible with the prepent vault.
We visited the Shrill's office and
found everything in good condition.
We visited the jail and found same
to be in a good condition, all the pris
oners seemed to be perfectly satisfied,
there being no complaint whatever. We
recommend the following improvements:
Iron fencing extending from the side
walls to the front of steel cells, thus
preventing the prisoners 1 litenng about
the flout windows, and calling am
whistling t peopl ! on I he street, we
also lir.d the jail yard in a very go d
condition.
We visited the count home, found
a I houses, yards Hnd outhouses in a
very goal condition. We especially
commend the matron. Mrs. Williams,
for the interest and pride sin; takes in
the home and all the mm ites were found
to he perfectly satisfied.
We visited the convict camp and
found everything in a good condition,
we alsr. visited the conv ets at work on
Trent road about seven miles from New
Bern, and found all to be perfectly satisfied.
We examined lie' road reports am:

tior. The only complaint we find n that
the bridges in No. ti township are in a
