The Raleigk News-Observer, in an
ditond length, under the caption of
Naies of all the Counties," and with
this preface c .
As the rising generation may desire
loknow more about their State, we
will ummeriae what we have said in
regard to the origin of the names of
our counties.''
After going over nearly the whole
State, a line and a half disposes of Row
an, thusly: uDuplin and Kowan are of
doubtful and disnuted oricil.,,
That the Ntws-Obscrrer should say
that the name of this county is of
either doubtful or disputed origin, is
exceedingly remarkable. It displays a
1 1, Wv.d C
uenseiy uarreu ptjij i
historical field of the editor, and assures
the reader of one fact, at least, that if
ns much time and research have been
devoted to the historical accuracy of
the statements relative to the other
counties as was given to Rowan, then is
it an aggregation of historical informa
tion that should forever perpetuate the
name of the compiler as the most his
torically misinformed person of the
nineteenth century.
Rowan is among the oldest and most
honored of the counties of the State,
and has furnished history with many
names which adorn fame's eternal scroll.
The history of the name is simple
enough, and is well known bv the school
children of the countv. For the bene
fit of the News-Observer the following
extract from Dr. Rumple's "History of
Rowan'1 is made, as it bears directly on
the point:
"The early settlers of Rowan were
peaceable, industrious, and law-abiding
men, who had come to this land to make-
homes for themselves and their children.
When therefore their numbers had in
creased sufficiently to justify the measure,
steps werefnken for the formation of a
county government, and the appointment
of county officers and courts of justice
Accordingly at file session of the Geueral
Assembly of the Province of North Caro
lina, begun and held at XewbeTn, March
27th, 1753, an act was passed establishing
the county of Rowan.' Governor Gabriel
Johnston, after a long ana prosperous
term of office, had died in August, 1752,
and the duties of the office devolved upon
Nathaniel Rice, first counsellor of the
King's Commission. .But President Rice
lived only until January, 1753, and at his
death the Hon, Mutthew Rowan, the next
counsellor in order, qualified as President
in Wilmington on the first of February,
1753. As he was now President of the
Council, and actiug governor, the new
county, formed during his administration,
was called after his name. The act of the
assembly establishing the county is, in
part as follows: 'That Anson county be
divided by a line, to begin where (the)
Anson line was to cross Earl Granville's
(Hue,) aud 'from thence in a direct line
north to the Virginia line, and that the
said county be bounded on the north by
the irginia line, and to the south by the
-
southernmost line Of Karl Granville's ; and
that the upper part of said county so di
vided lw erected into a county and parish
by the name of Rowan County and St.
Luke's P.nish, and that all the inabi-
tautH to the westward of said line, and
include.! wit Inn the before mentioned
boundaries shall belong and appertain to
Rowan countv.' "
A gentleman of the town wrote the
truth concerning the negroes Street and
Goler, and stated the facts concerning
the arrest, &c, to the National Republi
can published in Washington, D. G.
The letter has never been acknowledg
ed, nor has any attention been paid to
a second letter, enquiring if the former
had been received, and enclosing stamps
for copy of paper.
This letter of explanation was writ
ten by a Republican to a Republican
paper, and to all appearances has not
, been noticed. This shows a desire on
the part of the editor to credit negro
information in preference to that fur
nished by white men. It is a matter
that does not give this paper and its
readers any concern, as it is all in the
Hepubliean ranks. Our people may
wash their hands of the affair. v
According to the Baltimore Manu
facturers' Record, the last month of
summer shows in its opening week a
very promjing condition of affairs in
the industrial growth of the South. As
week after week passes by with a steady
improvement in the propects for mag
nificent crops in the South, there is a
decided change for the better in the
outlook for increased activity in trade
and financial circles. Jt is now almost
assured that the yield of the two great
staples, cotton and corn, will be the
largest ever produced, and while busi
ness men are disposed to wait a few
weeks longer, until the crops are be
yond the possibility of damage, yet
there is already an improvement notice
able. The prospects could hardly be
more encouraging than at present for
the South's entering upon an era of the
greatest trade and industrial progress
ever seen in that section.
Foul! air in a well in Mecklenburg
county caused the death of a young
man, Chas. Kerr, this week. He went
into the well for the purpose of deep
ening it. No one should ever go into
a well before sending down a candle or
pine torch made fast to or set in the
Ducket. If the light goes out there is
death in the-well to any living thing
which enters it.

DEATH OF PROF. W. C. KERR.
The life of this gentleman came to a
close yesterday morning at 4 o'clock; at
the residence of Solicitor Adams, in this
place. Some four weeks ago he was
brought here from Durham, wasted with
disease, with a verv faint hone of im-
provement. But consumption had long
j - mt - - - ,
aso marked him for a victim, and after
his arrival here there was no check on
his progress to the grave.
Prof. Kerr has been a well and widely
known man in educational and scientific
fields. A Tutor at Chanel Hill, a Pro-
fessor at Davidson College, the head of
an institution in Texas, he acquired repu-
tat ion as a teacher; but he is best known
as a scientist. He was placed at the head
of the Geological survey of the State of
North Carolina by Governor Worth,
when the work was resumed in 1866. In
that work he was patient, laborious and
active, visiting all parts of the State, and
with painstaking accuracy investigating
the mineral resources of the State, and
the agricultural characteristics of the
sections. It was the work in its nature
extending over many years, and was not
brought to a close in his life time. Indis
pensable and unavoidable delays atten

originating in impatience after results
rather than distrust in his fidelity or
capacity. This led to a partial with-
drawal of the authority intrusted to him
by the State, and during the last few
years of his life, he was employed by the
Geuoral Government in connection with
its work ef Geological Survey-Asheville
Citizen.

Dr. Caruthers. of Greensboro, N. C. He
entered the University of North Carolina
in 1846, and graduated at the same with
high honors in 1850. He taught school at
Williamston, Martin connty, N. C, for
one year after graduation, and on going

uuring tins time, while making a snp-
port by lus work on the almanac he
devoted a large part of his time to the
study of Geology and Natural History
under the illustrious Agassiz.
In February, 1857, Prof Kerr was

aud Geology at Davidson college. This

ami coutinned to hold this place until
1882, when he resigued to accept a posi
tion on the U. S. Geological Survey. This
latter position, like all others he held,
Prof Kerr filled with ability, but ou ac-
count of failing health he was able to
continue the work for but a short tinip.
resigning in September, 1883.
Since that time he has been spending
his wiuters at Tampa, Fla., aud his sum
mers among the mountains of North
Carolina, hoping to regain his strength
sufficiently to enable him to complete the
work he had already begun. Bat death
long expected, has at last overtaken him.
and his work remains unfinished. He has
left behind him many notes, maps and
other materials collected for his final re
port or uie Geology of the State. These
have all been placed iu the hands of
Prof Holmes, of the University, and the
reporc will be published at the earliest
practicable date.
As a worker in Geology Prof Kerr
won a well earued reputation among
American geologists. He has long been
in correspondence with leading natural
ists of tiii aud other countries. He lias
read a u umber of papers before the lead
ing scientific associations of the United
States. Among the publications may be
mentioned a number ef articles published

this end. And it is to be hoped that
when more is made known of this work
for the State tile future will have a more
just appreciation of it than either the
preseut or the past.
As a Christian gentleman, those who
have knowu him best have admired him
moBt. His heart was warm and gener
ous, hisjnind was clear, active aud pro-
gressing, his conscience keen aud iuflexi-
ble. He was honest in every sense of,
the word. There was nothing of policy
in bis thought or action. On the contrary
he was frank and outspoken, at limes
even to a fault.
In Prof. Ken 's death the State has
met an inestimable loss. In some respects
he has lived ahead of hi time. He is,
in his own department of work, more
widely and favorably known, and de-
servedly so, than any man the State has
produced, or the State University has
graduated.

Davie Wants a Railroad.

few good county roads, which have been

at a stand still and allow onr sister coun

from our fertile lands, onr diversified
crops and honest labors, without giving
us that hearty co-operation in the ad
vancement of the present age, viz : rail
road communication, by which we may
develop the natnral wealth that lies at
onr feet, and to this query comes our em
phatic negative reply, No, not if we can
help it.

We ask the attention of the Baltimore,

road, to the above statistics, who have al
ready projected a line of road from
Charleston, West Vs., to Wadesboro in
this State, having as au outlet oue of the
finest ports on the South Atlantic coast,
namely : Charleston, S. C.
Let us draw a line aud see the right of
way of the above named road from which
we expect help, if, indeed, we get any at
all, having already despaired of auy as-
sistauce from the Richmoud & Danville
system.
The first division of this popular route
will run from Wadesboro to Salisbury,
sixty miles : the second division from
Salisbury to Wilkesboro, fifty miles; third
division from Wilkesboro to Marion, six
ty-five miles; the fourth division from
Marion to Charleston, West Virginia, one
hundred and fifteen miles ; making a
grand total of two hundred and ninety
miles of railway, runuing through the
very best of farm and mineral lands, the

we are looking to the completion of the

can to carry the scheme thro'. Our efforts
in raising $55,000 for the North Carolina
Midland, $10,000 of which has already
been spent with no avail, and the road
abandoned, shows our great desire to ob
tain transportation facilities.
The resi-
due of $45,000 remains in tact. The last
Legislature granted ns the privilege o
cutting loose from the N. C. Midland

Mr. Editor :
What will become of children who go
about doing pretty much as they please
ou iur as mey can ; growing up in igno
rance and in habits of idleness, with no
nxed purpose or aim in life? For a time
they may in some cases be a sort of neigh
ft m
uornood convenience, by answering to
calls for a few day's work; but when done
the employer pays them and they are
gone no more thought of until needed
again.
But this semi-vagabond life is not o
long Continuance. These children become
men and women after a while, with al

and become a neighborhood pest ; or wan
der oft" to practice npon other communities
the ways that are low and the deeds that
are dark. From this class it may be safely
said, come many of the criminals who af
flict society, thus repaying the State with
leavy coats and trouble for its neglect of
them when they were children. A faith
ful enforcement of the laws in bringing
hese children under proper authority
and binding them out to responsible and
worthy citizens for a term of years, would
have cost, perhaps from two to ten dol -
are; whereas, such neglect of duty on the
part of officials and people, often entail
trouble and cost to an extent absolutely
burdensome. Add to this the loss of a
man or a woman who might with proper
care have been bronght up to live a life of
usefulness and virtue ; and also, the evil
example of the lost one on others, running
to the third and fourth generation, and it
will be seen how serious a matter it is to
neglect the faithful execution of laws de
signed to protect the community against
such evils. Q.
