THE COURT HOUSE BUILT, j
The coa tract for balldJng the Court House
was taking bf John; Whitsett, thsiCottnty

was notHaiabed until 1756; at which time
the evert met ia the Laildinj for the .first
time, a Before this time the Court probably
met ia prirate bouaea, or in the public room
of some convenient Ordinanr. At the
condlerm of.tIleOourtt0ct.lTW, the jus-
uccs juijouraca once to the house or Junei
Alexander, and at another time afterwards
to Peter Arrand's Earnhardt?) Ordinary.
James Alexander seems to hare been a fesi

We conclude frouhts fict that the aec-
ona iern. 01 cue uourt was Held in Sails bo ry.
And since the common gaol, pilkirj and
stocks were already up and In uae Jn 1T64.
we.have conclusive evidence that the courts
from .and after that date, were- held sear
these public buildings. - Tradition; stares
that the old' goal building was .located at
or Hear1 the site of the present old coal build-

of Corbin and Liberty streets. Arrange

At the Court in 1753, Edward Hughes. Esq.:
was Appointed Trustee for Rowan County,
and directed te "enter" forty acres' of lan3.
at the place selected for the "County Seat,?
and to see that a title was ' secured from
Earl XJranville'a agents. At the same time
John Dunn, Esq., and John Wbiteett, the
Treasurer, were directed to see that the land
was laid off in a manner suitable for the
purpose intended.- It appears i that Mr,
Hughes did not succeed in securing immed
iately, the forty acres required by the court,
though some of the public buildings were
at once erected. -,The Peed for the Town
ship lands is dated February the 11th, 1785,
At that date William Churton and Richard

received a grant from .rancis Corbin, Gran

It will be seen from the above diagram
that several-small streams took their rise itt
tla Tow ii mil in lanrlaV no doobt each of tlien
mneh more bold tlran now. and flewina with
pure and sweet water. As the Indians had
for several years given place to the white
settlers, and thejractice of burning oft the
country employed by the Indians for) the
purpose of securing open hunting grounds,
havinj been suspended, the ground began
to be covered by a beautiful young forest
growth. Under the shelter of these yoitng
trees, and with the ground covered with
luxuriant herbage, the streams were fullerl
and purer than in modern uss. 1 uere is
reported to have been a fine spring of water
rising near the eastern corner of the Episco
pal church yard, with a stream flowing be
tween the site of the present courf house
and jail. The tokens of former culverts are
still to be seen near to the Court house. Af
ter crossing CorWn street the stream was
joined by another flowing from Praaek
Spring. Here Jacob Franck, in 1758, ob
taiaed license to keep a village Inn, and on
this lot he afterwards run a distillery, for
the benefiit of those whose thirst could not
be adequately quenched by the purer and
wbolesomer waters of his Spring. No doubt
teeny of the affrays and murders, that claim
ed the attention of the .Court, took their
origin in the fire-water that was brewed in
the boiling caldrons, and flowed trickling
down threugl the colling worm of -Jacob
Franck's distillery, licensed sad perhaps
patronized by themselves. TTe notice that
on several occasions the Court imposed fines
upon jurymen who were not able to serve
because or drunkenness, roe amine ana
render reaped the profits, the Court had the
trouble, and the citizens or t&e county nao
to bear tho harden of the expense. ,
It is to be regretted that there is a pro
pensity to change the names of places as
tlmi moves on. This Is often a real incon
venience and a positive loss; for it not un
frequently happens that lines and bounda
ries cannoti be identified because of this
change. The popular modern name for the
stream that flows southeast of Salisbury is
"Town Creek," but in the deed convey ing
the Township lends it is rightly called
"Crane ; Creek," and the lines cross it four
times. It is so called in Col. Byrd's His
tory of the Dividing Line. There are other
Deeds for lands higher up tlie stream that
call it by that name. The next stream flow
ing on this side or uunn s Jtiountain was
anciently called "Middle Crane Creek."
Then again we always speak of "Main
Street." forgetful, or ignorant of the fact
that the old Deeds always-'speak of it as
Corbin street. It was named after Francis
Corbin. Granville's attorney.!: It is not sur
prising perhaps, that the older citizens
should dislike .to call the,street after this
grasping attorney who extorted illegal and
exorbitant fees from the people, ana who was
once mobbed at Bdenton for his-extortion.
Oar modern Town "authorities have also
taken the liberty of altering the spelling
James InnesV name, and wo new see every
day-staring down,npon the passer-by, "Inniss
Street." The signature of James lanes may
now be seen in the Register's office tonund
