Special to the Chronicle. 1
Scotland Nkck, N. C, June
2. The county commissioners have
decided against appropriating any
thing tor the Halifax exhibit at the
Southern Exposition, on account of!
the financial condition of the county, j
They levied taxes for the county,
putting the levy at the constitu
tional limit OO5 cents on the $100
worth. The report of the county
commissioners. to the hoard of jus
tices was very exhaustive, showing
the exact condition of the financial
interests of the eoun.y.
The county assessors also met and
teemed upon plans tor valuing
property. They agreed to add 10
per cent, to the former valuation of
real estate in the county, and fixed
values upon personal property ac
cording to grades.

London, June .'5 Opinion is
general among the uppertendom
of London that the Prince of
AYales had shown lack of good sense
and good nature for which he has
been credited, when he went out of
his way to kick an apparently fall
ing man by declaring in court ves
terday that he no longer desired to
be classed as one of Sir William
Gordon Cumming's friends. His
trepidation on the stand has left
a painful impression on the
minds of those who observed
the first gentleman of England
clawing at his beard, shuffling his
feet, and nervously drumming the
edge of the box with his fingers.
The individual examination by one
of the jurors of the Prince was a
startling occurrence, and this has
made a place in history for that
juror. Sir William Gordon Cum
ining was promptly on hand when
the court was declared open, and
showed no traces of the ordeal
through which he passed yesterday.
Immediately the court had been
called to order, the Prince of Wales
entered and occupied the seat re
served for him to the left of the
Lord Chief Justice.
