"There is paid in on said sub scription list the enormous sum of $1,000,000, which makes it $40 for every inhabitant white and black old and young. If how ever we include Charlotte's sub urbs, and basing it on 35.000 in habitants we have paid in on shares approximately $28,550 and shares subscribed $75.50 per capita.

GastonU Gazette. Shelby's enthusiastic start for waterworks seems about to come to naught temporarily on ac count of some imperfections in the statutes which govern the issuance of its bonds. It is a pity the legal tank was found too leaky to bold water. The ap propriation of $50, however, made by the town council for the purpose of providing new bench s ior tne eourt-nuse square seems to be free from flaws and wind-shakes and promises to go through all right. The old benches will be repaired and twenty new ones added. We be. the privilege of suggesting that our friend, Captain Lem Hoyle be charged with the special duty of seeing to it, when the new benches are put in, that the court-house ring it still a brand new set of jokes.
