The street car people are dlscussins the proposition to make a loop at Spencer and run their line out to Lon? street, the main thorougnrare oi fc.asi Soencer. This growing end of Spen cer proper does a great travel from Salisbury to the Houthern city over Ixng street and the cars wouia do well patronized. After crossing the railroad at Spencer, another loop would be made in the line aa the Council street crossing and Main etreet would be entered. The matter will be settled In February. Mr. L. Oneida Tyler, a well-known director of light opera and a trained vocalist, is here preparing to organic a choril club for Salisbury. The first meeting Is to be held at Mrs. W. H. Neave's Thursday evening, and the proposition to put on a new opera will again be discussed. Mr. Tyler trained a cast last year for "Snow White" and Isabella," and something similar is to be done again. The young men gave a very pleasant dance last night to Miss Fan McNeely, who has recently returned from a long visit to the West. There were twenty couples and the affair was thoroughly enjoyable. There were no visitors save Mi. Albert J. Farnum, a friend of Mr. W, 8. Baldwin. The Big Four orchestra played. The origin of the fire Saturday night that promised so much havoc, has been discovered. The small boy and the cigarette started It in the cellar under the grocery store of Mr. Propst. Tha Wallace clothing establishment was not hurt, except by the smoke, which slightly damaged the stock. The grocery store adjoins the clothing store. The colored .people of this city and Spencer ure out after Rev. W. H. Brown, who, they allege, has been rob bing them of their money. The preacher Is the same one who was tried In Richmond last week on charge of embeiement, convicted and sen tenced to four years in the penitenti ary. It Is said he made way with $100 from the Kpencer Baptists, embezzled from Salisbury people about as much, and was doing the same thing when caught In Virginia. He was a very fine looking colored man and stood high here. The local church people have requisition papers which they In tend to serve when his sentence ex pires. Mr. Phillip E. Sawers, 82 years old. a wealthy land owner and a most ec centric Dutchman, Is suffering consid erably from Injuries received at his home, in the county, Saturday. He was carrying a large stone weighing about 69 pounds when It fell upon him, bruising him considerably. True to the antipathy, formed In early youth, to physicians, he would not call them In and compounded his own medicines from herbs on his place.

Their denization Is Hlrrnlngham, Ala., where they will spend several days. Mr. Ackert was asleep and the object of hla Southern trip was not learned. Mr. Ackert's secretary let loose the information that the Southern Is to build a new station In Salisbury, and It was prob ably the promise of It sometime ago that caused the superintendent to sleep away from local besiegers.

Miss taoritletlr, and the former's husband, took a ; walk on the evening of August 13 of last year, returning to their home about-10 o'clock where the husband left the two ladies "at' tho door and went' to hlil saloon. Here is the way ' Mhw Monte llh describes what followed: . . . ,''- As soon as the two ladles entered the house, Mrs. Van Dran, complain ing -of thirst, went to the pantry for a bottle of Ringer ale, returned and opened It; She poured out two glasses, leaving some in the bottle, and eager ly began to drink. Miss Monteitn, for some reason, did pot drink, but wait ed; and she bad not watted long when her sister exclaiming' in horror that 'there was something terrible- In the ale, rushed to the kitchen for water and there fell upon the floor and died. Competent chemists found cyanide of potash both In. the glasses and In the remnant of liquid in the bottle; hence there is no doubt that this extremetv deadly and t swjf t do Is on caused the death of Mrs. Van Dran. It was placed either In tha bottle before the unhappy woman opened it, or in the glasses be fore she drank." After the fullest and most thorough Investigation the story of Miss Mon teithr was accepted as true. Aside from her character there could be found no motive for her to have poisoned her sister or to have desired the latter' death. It was not a case of suicide, for there was no motive for that and Miss MonteHh's testimony was positive that Mrs. Van Dran could have had no sus picion of poison. Yet the evidence of the physicians was that the ale was poisoned. . How did the poison get there? is the question not yet solved. The evidence shows that the bottle was one of several- sent to the house from a' case in the husband's saloon, he keeping It on hand all the time. It is not likely that one bottle of poisoned ale would have been placed in a case, for even If anv one wished to take the woman's life It Is plain that the fatal bottle might have been opened by some one beside the victim. If her husband had desir ed to poison her it is equally plain that he would not have sent that bot tle along with several others, as It was proven that he did, for ha knew that she kept the bottles In the pantry accessible to any of the household. But that is not all the mystery. Any one who knows anything of the nature of ginger ale knows it la very efferves cent. If any one had opened a bottle for the purpose of poisoning it they would have had to wait until a con siderable portion had escaped before they could Insert the poison, even If they could have afterwards sealed it go as to escape suspicion. Then a per son acquainted with the nature of the drink would have noted Its condition and refused it. All that makes It pretty evident that the ale was not poisoned while In the bottle, and that some one dropped the fatal dose tn the glass, and afterwards was sharp enough to pour what remained In the glass back Into the bottle. AH these facts and circumstances might have been sufficient to cause Miss Montelth to be euspected, and as a matter of fact there was suspicion at the beginning, but all the inquiries and Investigations that were made, and they were thorough, not only fail ed to Impeach her character but, as before stated, they completely failed to find any possible motive or reason for such a crime. After almost five months the mystery Is Just as great as ever, and will probably remain so. Every Home; Should Have One. Everything. A book compiled from the writings of tho late Isaac Erwln Avery, called "Idle Comments," has recently ap peared. It Is a volume of some three hundred pages, handsomely bound and: the "comments" contained there in 'are attractively arranged and pre sented. We do not know how many hundreds or thousands of this book have been sold, but we are certain Its sale will continue till every man who knew Erwln Avery or who enjoyed his "Idle Comments" column aa it ap peared for so long a time In the Mon day issue of The Charlotte Observer, has a copy to read, enjoy and keep. The entire net proceeds from the sale of Idle Comments are' to be used In establishing memorial scholarships to Mr. Avery at Trinity College, his alma mater and this would please Avery were he yet with us. Und-er fifteen different headings the three hundred pages are fill ed wKn the cream of the departed one's written life tha humor, the satire, the criticisms, the friendly words and the creative fancies of a truly gifted scholar, gen tleman, philosopher and cosmopolite. The book Is worth while from a pure ly literary standpoint. The home that has a bookcase should have a copy of Idle Comments. Avery has taken childhood and added to its nursery plays. 11)9 reproduction of mind and heart is as perfect as though he turned the X-ray on. He read Dickens and had Dickens' skill, which, com bined with his own art, peopled the world, with new creatures aud his pen pictures became animate objects breathing, living, actually standing In your presence. No matter much what the subject. Avery had art In his pen's touch, and he always dressed his stuff for tb street and that's why the book Is interesting. He wrote It for a newspaperhurry up stuff apace filling stuff but It was in dress par ade. ...... Thirteen Rales on 81 Acres How it Was Done. . ... . Lumber Bridge (Robeson County) Cor respondence Lumber ton Robesonlan. It appears that Mr. N. Bhaw, of Lumber Bridge, who made thirteen bales of cotton on Six acres. Is In the lead, as no other equal yield has been reported. It is desirable to know how he did It, Questions re being asked about It. Three facta are recalled. He put 200 pounds of kalntt. H oounds acid phosphate, 400 pounds Quick Step and 20 bushels cotton seed broadcast on each acre, alt - of which cost blrn fifteen dollars. The land was no net lot which had been highly fertilised a number of successive years, It was planted and cultivated skilfully. The land was no better thon very much of the land through the, section, in which it lies. Very ' hiueh ' of -' tha causation for the targe yield Is due to the hoeing and plowing. ' In a word, the cultivation. It calls for as much brains and good judgment to bo a successful fanner as to be the Govern or of the tate. ' There is mora - tn tha man than in the land. The same Nnd and fertilisers and seasons wilt furnish the samn yield If men of tho same skill arc the farmers, but If of two one ts nvr skilful the more akil fuV -Wni get tha larger- yield every ttea, i ?jt v l ,1-. 4-a, f ; j COMMERCE; AND, FINANCE !

Instituted after the meeting of the cotton convention last week, seems to have culminated in the buying of yet terday for, although Liverpool was better than loarical expectations, it was clearly apparent after the opening of American markets mat tne aemanu was insumcienc to absorb the offering of long cotton, at tracted by the advance, and as a result the market has shown a sagging tend ency throughout the day, closing about 20 points down from the best figures of the morning and about 16 lower than yes terday. The contracts offered by satisfied bulls to-day were mainly absorbed by arbitragers who. in turn. Sold at New xorK, unaoing siraaaies which naa ueen instituted at the wider differences recent ly prevailing. It -would appear that this disposition to realize at tbe advance Was not confined to speculative holdings of contracts, as we have reports from sev eral points ih the interior stating that the offerings of spot cotton were more liberal tnnn tor soma rime past, specu lation as to the census report, to - be Issued tbe 23rd Inst., will presently occupy general attention. The popular idea now is that the amount ginned between the 1st and 16th- of January will b somewhere In the neighborhood or auw.ww oaies, ana snouia the document vary very materially from this amount It may be expected to affect the market accordingly. . We can only repeat that. In the absence ot some fresh development's calculated, to give stimulus td a movement one way or another, we do not look for anything; but scalping markets for sometime to come witmn a range oi pernaps io points. We continue to think that the next im portant and lasting price movement must get It s inspiration rrom the prospect, and development of the next crop. tlnbbard Bros. A Co.'s Cotton Letter.

The city. Is now prohibition' aa the result of an election held under the provis ions of ths Brtce act and a subsequent decision of the State Supreme Court declaring the election legal. The pecu liar wording of the telegrams, which were received by each dispenser lu the city and signed by Chief 'Clerk Charles, had led some to think . that the interests lavorlng tbe dispensary will, make one more effort to keeo tbe State - grog shop open and . tho next step- will bo an anneal to tbe United States Supreme Court, though at this time the attitude of tbe dispensaries is not clearly defined. This morning' the whiskey and beer houses opened at the.- usual hour. those in charge having not received any r advices from the State board-un til -about 1:30 o'clock, when the order came by wire, and the same was Im mediately executed. - " 5IAY ASK CHASGE OF VENUE.
