There is some talk of investigating the

ROWAN COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY
AND BOARD OF HEALTH.
This association of the medical men of the
county met on Saturday, Sept.Sth, at Dr.
Whitehead's office in this city.
At a previous" meeting Dr. J. G. Ramsay
was chosen President; Dr.'M. Whitehead.
Vice-President; Dr.' J. J. Summerell, Corres
ponding Secretary; Dr.TI.T. Trantham, Re
cording Secretary; Dr. L. W. Coleman,
Treasurer.
The committee appointed to draft a Con
stitution and By-Laws for the Society made
their report, and after some discussion and
alteration it was adopted. There were six
teen Physicians present, vii: Drs. Coleman,
8himi.pcl, Lupjccy, Uaithor, Cowan, Ram
say, Chunn, Hill, Jon?s, Murdoch, Stephen
son, McLelland, Whitehead, Caldwell, Suim
Jl inerell and Trantham. Tlrus showing a
Jaudable interest in their organization, and
ral tp furrier objects of the Society. ;
The wbwla numj)er of Physicians in the
county i3 about twenty-four. The fact of
eo xn&ny being present, away from their
fields of labor at this season of the year,
shows very clearly the healthful-condition
- pf the county. ...
As prganized this Society is auxiliary to
the Slate Medical Society, and by the pro
vision of a law past at the last session of
the General Assembly, creating a State
jJii,ird ofHealth, becomes the Rowan County
Board of Health. As such this Society be
comes a matter of great interest to the citi
zens of the county. Its object is to Investi
gates causes of disease in the ommunity,
Jo learn the origin of diseases, and also to
devise ways and moans of prevention am
puro. To collect statistics in regard to
health and disease, hj and death, will be
pnother of its objects; and to teach the peo
ple tjie importance "of drainago, ventilation
and hygiene, as the means qf improving
health and lengthening jruman life, will fall
wit hin the scope of its aims.
It is to be hoped that every intelligent
citizen will become interested in this Hahr
'of lotev of theHdoctors, and afford them every
facility in his power to make these County
Boards of Health, not only successful help
ers to the State Board, but a blessing to
- every county in the State; and these societies
be enabled. ji awaken such earnest thought
and action among the people in the matter
pf drainage, ihatr ere long the thousands of
'acres of ricVfiVarap'' lands lying useless in
many oTthe counties of this State', and pro-
- . ductive only -ia' rnalaria and pestilential
Vapors, may be reclaimed and brought to
augment the returns of husbandry, and thus
- it ho "imp of the marshes," the dread of "all,
be forever banisLe d from our borders. ' " '

AMERICAN.
A revolution is at hand in respect to
the machinery heretofore employed to
cut veneving and other thin board. The
saw will go out of use, thus saving from
40 to 50 uer cent, of timber. The new in
vention is a knife, driven by steam, and
cuts boards from inch in thickness up to
, and of any width from iio inches down.
The work is described as superior to that
done by the saw, the surface of the boards
being already dressed and ready for use.
The knife oppcrates with a sawing mo
tion, and moves up to the t imber instead of
the timber moving up to it.
Iu connection with this machine, now
at work iu NewJYork, is asteani drying
process, which in a few moments thor
oughly expels all moisture or water from
the boards, leaving them smooth, straight
and firmly coin pressed.
Prof. Asaph Hall, of the Washington
Observatory has recently announced the
discovery offwo satellites attendant upon
the planet Mars, now so proinineut in the
eastern horizon early after dark. It was
hitherto thought Mars had no satellites,
and hence this discovery lends new inter
est to this plaiet,-aud will no doubt win
it. the close attention of astronomers in all
parts of the world.

Murder.
Cine Ridge Blade.
We regret to learn that Ilnfus Prltchard,
of this county, was killed near Piedmont
Springs on last Sunday. The following
is reported by parties from that section :
Pritchard waa arrested and carried be
fore Esquire Beck, on Saturday, charged
with adultery. The warrant for his ar
rest was issued on complaint of his son, and
his wife, and her brother William Taylor
whomarriedPritchard'sdaughfer, and oth
ers were witnesses, but iailing to appear
against the defendant, the magistrate dis
charged him, whereupon Pritchard declar
ed he would leave the State, andimmedi.
ately set ont in the direction of Tennessee.
After proceeding abour six miles some
one secreted in the woods near the road
tired upon him, lodgiug thirteen buckshot
in his breast, which killed him. His par
amour was with him, and we understand
she swears that William Taylor the sou-in-law
of the deceased, was the man who
fired the fatal shot.

Ei.m Guove, July '23, 1877
To the Fanners of Scotrh Irish Tounxhip and
the farmers generally : Having made and ap
plied one ton of the Harris Compost, on the
present growing crop of corn and tobacco, and
considering the appearance of the corn and
tobacco, at the present st:ite of growth, I would
recommend not onlv the farmers of S. 1. Town
ship, but the farmsrs generally to use the said
Compost. I have used some of the commercial
fertilizers and consider the Harris Compost
superior to any 1 have tried.

! This is to certify that I used Harris' Empire
! Compost hst year on tuy land for Wheat, ami
though I did not give it a lair trial as 1 lelt out
one of the ingredients, but must say that where
it vns used my wheat was never belter, and
where I did not use it I find that it was very
indifferent. I shall n-e six tons this Spring. I
consider the foiuiu'a invaluable to farmers.
Yours respect fullv,

Messrs. Wilson ct Pluck Gentlemen :
1S7G,
It gives
me niiich ple;isnre to stnte that I used the com
post bought of yon last winter, and must say
that I am highly pleased with it. I used it on
an old broom fcedge field that would produce
nothing, and must say the result is astonishing.
I consider it an invaluable compost, and just
the thing to bring out our old worn out lands.
Y-unrs verv respect fullv,

I take pleasure in stating to my brother far
mers all over the country that I used, last year,
Harris' Empire Compost, under both corn and
cotton and the result was astonishing fiTall my
neighbors.
Tiie ost was only one-fourth of what I had
been paving for commercial fertilizers.
LKNS HOOK.
Meoklenjuko, Co., X. C: 187G.
This is to cestify that I used Harris' Knipire
Compost list year side by side with several
commercial fertilizers' and I find that the yietd
from Harris' Compost was one fourth greater
and the quality belter than any. It makes the
cotton mature better, and in my judgment, it is
preferable in every respect. The cost was one.
fourth the cost of the high priced guanos, and
one ton will go over ten acreTof laiuL
