A pile of paper several laches in tbickaeaa was thrown oa tha tab! a be fora tha oounty eocnmiaeioaere oa also day morning which proved to be some what of a curiosity, and, to tha taxpay ers of thia county, is a vary interesting document. It was tha bill of cost made out by tha clerk of tha Superior Court in curred by tha county ia holding the fall term of tha Superior Court. There war oa hundred aad thirty -six in dictments out of which there war but twenty convictions sad submissions. Tha coat ia these was between eight and nine hundred dollars Tha county ia asked to pay the cost of indicting about one hundred and sixteen persona, not one of whom is oonvicted. Is there a county in tha State that can show such a record? Will the county pay for the wholesale indicting of people who can not be eon vie ted? Here ia a statement of oaa of thaae bills of cost aa presented. Joham Al britton waa indicted for not Hating poll tai ; at fall term a nof proa waa entered , and the following bill of ooet is present ed for the county to pay. being only half fees Capiases Si 50 Continuance .30 Docketing indictment . Al Filing papers . 33 Indictment 30 Judgment .50 Presentment 05 Recording copy sbeet ... 05 Subpoena 15 Seal (out of ceunly) 13 Postage (actual) .04 Preparing bill of cost .25 Sheriff .80 4 04 Joham a poll tax could not have been over 82.00, yet the oounty ia asked to pay $4 04 to find out that he is not sub ject to a poll tax, or that ha had listed. or to find that he bad skipped the county and could not be found. At any rate the not pros was entered sod the county is now called upon to re spond with 84 04 instead of getting 83 00. Now we believe in every man being made to pay hla taxee, even to indict ing him if he will not pay without, but why indict a hundred men unless it is known that they are guilty and can be convicted. The Death of Mr. Charles H. Flanner. By a telegram yesterday to Mr. Wm. B. Flanner the aad intelligence of the death of hia uncle, Charles H. Flanner, was received. Mr. Flanner waa, we believe, a native of thia city but removed with his par ents in childhood to our sister city of Wilmington from whence he entered the army at the beginning of tha late war and served to the termination of hostilities. After the war be returned to Wilmington and mad his home there for some years; but subsequently went to California and reaided in San Francisco where hia death occurred. Tha deceaaed aervad with some of our people of thia city who wore the grey to whom hia memory is freah. and will be cheriahad for hia nobla bearing and genial disposition during tha time that tried men's souls. H has a large ciicl of relatives here who will mourn his death and bava the sympathy of the community In their bereavement.

There is business enough oo tbe criminal and civil dockets now for a two weeks' term.
