Caution to Farmers. We ask the attention of farmers to the following article taken from the last issue. of the Ches ter Reporter: We published last week a letter addressed to Senator, Butler by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, in which that officer decided that farmers who sell to. bacco to employees ortenants on their premises, whether for profit or not, must pay the special li cense required of' all retail deal ers in tobacco. We have just been shown also a letter from Collector Brayton to Capt.

F. M. Galbraith, containing the following clause: "You will, therefore, exact special tax from planters and other persons who purchase tobacco, and cigars, and re: tail same to tenants and croppers on their lands, or to laboror employees in their ser. vice." This is plain and needs no explanation. Farmers who buy tobacco and sell it to laborers 011 their premises, even without profit, must pay a special tax.

which is live dollars. The penalty for violation of the law fine of not less than ten dollars. nor more than five hundred dollars. Then, of course, the violator would be subject to heavy expense, besides annoyance. great inconvenience and loss of time.

It is much better, therefore, to pay the -live dotlars year- at the two cents per month. Officers of the Fishing Creek Manufacturing Company.

The celebration of the fourth anniversary of the organization of the Catawba Rifles on last Monday passed off very pleas antly. About 5 o'clock in the afternoon the Company, under the command of Capt. Allen Jones, with a number of citizens in the rear, began the march for Pine Grove Academy, where they arrived in due time. Upon their arrival the Band dispensed some sweet music, which was greatly enjoyed by the military and their friends, among whom was a number of young ladies, who graced the occasion with their fair presence. The preliminary preparations for the target firing having been made, the pleasant amusement began.

The Catawbas continued the firing at the "bull's eye" until every member of the Company, including the officers, had each fired three times. At the conclusion of the shooting Mr. J. R. London.

Maj. A. H. White and Dr. T.

C. Robertson, who had been appointed the judges, gave the target, which was filled with holes, a careful examination, and then decided that Mr. J. S. Stults had WOn the first prize, Mr.

E. S. Campbell, the second, and Mr. E. L.

Keesler, the third prize.Mr. W. B. Wilson, delivered the prizes, which were a plume, a bouquet, and a box of cigars, in language exceedingly appropri fate, and in manner exceedingly graceful. The orator of the casion, the ladies and the Band were each enthusiastically cheered, when the Catawbas, preced ed by the Band, began the marching for town.

When opposite the store of Messrs. A Friedheim Bro. they turned and marched into the hall above, where they broke ranks and spent sometime, in company with their friends, in the enjoyment of delightful lager. Thus ended this happy celebration. May all the sueceeding celebrations of the gallant Catawbas be equally suecessful and agreeable, and may it be our pleasure and privilege to be with them.

Stockholders' Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders cf the Chester and Lenoir Railroad was held at Chester on last Thursday. Mr. J. S.

Hart, of Yorkville; L. A. Mason, of Gaston; V. A. McBee, of Lincolnton; S.

M. Fin ger, of Catawba; G. W. Harper, of Caldwell- -Directors. As the people of this county are interested in the present and prospective condition of the C.

L. Railroad, we lay before thein the following taken from the Chester correspondence of the Columbia Register: The President and Treasurer made their reports for the year, ending April 30th. The cross earnings from all sources during that time $36,555.85. The gross earnings for the previous vear were $32,787.39, showing an increase during this year over last of $3,758.46. The operative expenses were $18,155.25.

Excess of earnings over operating expenses proper $18, 100.60. operating expenses cover salaries, wages of laborers, material and other expenses necessary to the running of the road. Owing to the necessity of repairing tempo rary work constructed on the upper end of the road, also thirty. two thousand cross ties were bought, which with the eighteen thousand previously bought, gives a thousand new ties to ev ery mile of road, practically re. newing half the road with new ties.

The road spent for the year nine thousand dollars for depots and other necessary repairs. The Superintendent reported. the road bed in good condition, and rolling stock in fair order, but the present rolling stock insufficient for the increased business of the road. The President reported that the long litigations, which had paralyzed the progress of the road, had been favorably terminated. A sullicient number of York and Chester county bonds had been sold to liquidate the mortgage held by the Rone Iron Works and leaving a ballance in the treasury of about $700.

The remaining debt of the company, $82,000, has been fund ed in first mortgage bonds. On two mortgages now remaining, $62,000, and a floating $22,000, which can be funded in like manner. When this is done the entire debt of the road will not exceed $100,000. President Hardin went into all explanation of his plan to finish the road. Parties had given him assurance that the necessary amount of capital would be furnished for that purpose on certain conditions.
