C under the act of Contrwi of March trd, 1997. Salisbury, N, C, July, 3rd, '07. The editor has not entered a conspiracy to snatch from oir thrifty and unsuspecting rural friends the honor of having th first roastingvears of the season, and we do not know that we are the first, but as we had a nice lot from our garden Monday, July lst, it is likely we are somewhere among the rst. Our cucumbers, squashes and beans are bearing nicely and, with such as the , neighbors may send in from time to time, the prospects are we will subsist in some manner till acorns are ripe. A change is coming over thp farmers about here and ju9t what it means is a problem. During the last year quite jl number of fairly well-to-do farmers have sold out, quit the farm and come to town and, we fear, some have worsted their condition. A man who knows nothing but farming cannot, as a rule, come to tcwn and secure any better employment than a common laborer. He can not near live with the ease and plenty with which he has beeu accustomed on the farm. But coming to town they are and in these days of high prices for farm products too. What does it .mean? Some kind friend has sent us a communication from Salem signed "Mary Lee." We appreciate the spirit in which it was sent and would be glad to publish same, but as the real name of the writer does not accompany the article, we of course, cannot do so. Every one ought to know that neWspa persare largely dependent upon their correspondents for the ac curacy of their "items," and if they made a habit of publishing communications from, unknown writers that much devilment would likely be the result,. It is there fore considered necessary to know the writer and shculd an erron eous statement be made some means of correction will be at hand, or the proper party will be made to shoulder the responsibil ity. "We often hear remarks which indicate an impression that poli ticians are rather a low set of fellows, with selfish aims and cor rupt practices, who manipulate party politics" for their own ad vantage and that the. less self-respecting gentlemen have to do with them the better. If that is ever the case, and it undoubtedly is the case at some- times and in some places, in such places polit ical control is allowed to go by default. Such a condition of pol itical affairs is always due to the fact that the citizens who are honest, upright, and public-spirited, who would not prostitute party power to persbnal advant age, who would not make a party organization a currupt combina- fail in the performance of public duty and permit the party organ ization which limits and restrains the exercise of their political power to remain in the hands of unworthy and self seeking men." The above remarks are those of Elihu Root, Secretary of State. We give him credit for being can did and sincere, but there are two ways of making use of juch state ments. The man who is honest and ,see8 the truth in such re marks uses them to persuade others to join in the attack on the politiciansand the little pea- nut politicians oiten maxe use or them as a defense and exonera tion of their perfidy.

Ashby,. the slayer "of Dan Overcash, his brother-in-law, was arrested Monday at Cranberry, N. 0., by Deputy Sheriff Jim Krider. The officer reached here with his prisoner Monday night and placed him in jail. Sheriff Krider and deputies have been on Ashby 's trail since the day of the killing, and managing to learn of the. section to. wbAch he was bound. Deputy Krider went to Cranberry to he,d him off, the result of his trip being as stated ab.we. It ishkely that the trial will take place at the August term of the Superior court and some highly sensational de velopments are expected duriDg the trial. Ashby claims that y he killed Overcash in self-defense. He says that on the Thursday before the killing Overcash had visited his home and run him off. When the two met on the day of the murder Ashby" claims that Over cash had a pistol in his hand and was threatening to kill him when he, Ashby, shot in ,his own de fense and killed the man who was threatening to take his life. There are all sorts of rumors as to the circumstances attending the trag edy and the causes which led up to it, and the tangle will only be straightened out by th" evidence given in court, if then. While we have no desire t& create any prejudice against :Ashby, from what can be learned, ..sentiment is generally on the side of the. man who was elain. - . . V, Mrs. Nation Arrives.

Washington Herald. September flie Month. 4 . . uapt. b. is. Alexander does not believe that the present cotton crop is as far behind as many think. "The plant has grown wonderfully during the past 10 days," he said yesterday, "so much so that one ?an hardly re cognize the fields as they were two weeks ago and now. That hot weather and the warm showers have made the stalks shoot up amazingly. As to the shortness ot the crop, it is impossible to forecast with any degree of cer tainty until after September. September isjp the. cotton crop as May is to the wheat crop. The conditions during the winter may be bad and the wheat may be small, but a favorable May will bring the crop out to a normal yield. So with cotton. If the leather conditions during Sep tember are favorable, then, un less the handicap-is altogether too great, the yield will be a good one," Charlotte Observer. - Mill Hand Kills Landlady.
