vof of a vote "for subscription'' by a majori
ty of about five hundred. It is believed that
this vote will secure the building of the road .
From Cheraw it is .'proposed at no; distant

will open up a fine trade for Charlotte, which
is already tbe principal business mart for

A New Kick In Vegetation. Mr J M

us a right curious object fn the way of a po
tato plant yesterday. The potatoes, instead
of growing in the earthy grew c-n top of ; the
ground, and at each joint' i n the stem there
is a bunch of these yoiing potatoes. There
was hilt oile root to the plant shown us, and
it extended deep down in the ground. The
growth is on the same style as a fig plant,
and is something .new and interesting in
vegetation. ' ''
Crops Down Soulb.-A gentleman just j
from Mississippi brings; us ' diacouraging
pews about crop prospects in that State.
There has been no rain there in abot six
weeks, and vegetation is suffering in conse
quence thereof.' The cotton crop is looking
very badly, and it is thought now that not
more than half a crop will be raised. Up to
this time the corn has not suffered a ' great
deal, but if the drought continues much '
longer it will oe ruined. The farmers are
very much "down in the mouth," and say
that if there, is not soon a rain, it will be all
over with them for this year.
Miuiug Property Sold. We have been
reliably informed that tbe mining property
at "Gold Hill," in Rowan county, has been
recently sold to a Northern company for the
sum Off eight hundred thousand dollars.
This property was not thought to be worth
over forty thousand dollars before the war,
and the reason for this tremendous increase
in value is said to be the discovery of a new
process for eliminating gold from the sul
phuric ores in which the precious metal is
found It is claimed that enough money I
can be made from the tailings which have
been already worked to paythe purchase
money, without going down Into the mines;
someof the o?d mines around Charlotte
might prove of considerable value. I

Jefoas-cxpeiiaieiire engines that we often

overlook the fact that, the apparatus which'
may be excellent for a large city; with am
ple water works, as most unfortunate - Jot ;rst
small town or village, which depends upon
pumps or a limited aumberof cisterns ftaf
its water.' The -Little Giant", which, six
men. or hoys .'will easily draw and work," can
be supplied by buckets, goes (q the point
daneer at once, without losing time in ad
justing a suction hose, but reels off its half-
inch leading hose, which,, when necessary,
raay be carried up to' the , fifth story of any
huildiss or steejla of a church,-finding am
Ijsujplyiaary well. vvfr': -: f' '"
On the contrary, Uie steamer or .other
suction engines,' after the delay of getting its
unwieldy apparatus to the fire and prepar
ing to play (by which rime " the : conflagra
tion has reached a dangerous stage)," finds
tliatthe water of the well is exhausted in a
few-minutes, and : before; 'another can be
reaj'ied the house is past saying , Such oc
currences with greater - or less ' variations,
follow each other year alter year. J And., if
any one presumes toy question, the' .wisdom,
of the organization, he Is answered with the
remark that steam and suction enpines are
ejrsed-yl "department 1 of - afl the-
t densely populated towns, and.' so must" be1
?ie best fr tha purpose.
The cost of a large brake engine and hose
would buy at least- eight of the -"Little
Giants1' completely equipped, which, will
cover just eight times the ground, or in oth
er words, would shorten the distance to any
fire' that may occur '00V eighth 1 .Thhi
will enable the stream from th J inch noz
zles to be put almost immediately on the
blaze, and. in most instances, be extinguish
ed before it is fairly under way.v Jf this first
column of water is insufficient to stifle the
flames, the other engines will 'be kvii the
ground in a few , minutes, when the', six
streams wiL make short work of iu ji'
Each engine, to be complete, should buy
100 feet extra' hose and a track on 4 wheels;
verylight and pretty, with extension lad-
ders, gong lantern; axes and hooks. Chain,
hooks; rope and buckets cost $1 75. ; ,
