Salisbury, N. C., August 31, 1909
A short trip to Charlotte re
vealed the fact that she has failed
to put away her toys wieh were
displayed there the day it rained.
Judging by the way some folks
act down there the celebrating act
haB become a continual perform
ance. Automobile parties, traversing
the public roads from Atlanta to
Salisbury, passing right through
Mecklenburg county, North Caro
lina, say the best stretch of road
discovered enroute was that lying
between Concord and Salisbury.
The towns along the proposed
route of the Southbound railroad
are making much fuss about the
impetus it will give to their
growth.' Salisbury expected as
much when she voted bonds for
the Yadkin Railway, but when
the road was leased to the South
ern Salisbury and Rcwan dropped
their candy. We have nothing
now beside the debt and interest
to pay.
A story is going the rounds to
the effect thafc . lairnorf n,nfOMnr
73 years old is tramping about the
streets of Atlanta sharpening scis
sors at 5 cents pel sharp. The
description of him sayB: He was
once a college profesror, highly
educated, a gifted scholar, a great
mathematician, a scientist, and
an intellectual giant. Well, there
is something wrong about all this,
nd we suspect the reporter who
got up this story, as is usually the
case these days, greatly enlarged
on the old man's abilities. If the
story is true we see only one way
for the reporter to redeem himself.
If the old man has such collosal
abilities he has failed to make use
of them and therefore forced into
his present condition of servitude.

Gentry. Brothers parade, re-
"owned from coast to coast, as the
