A difficulty arose between A. A. Cowan,
and a colored man ou the formers farm
four miles from hero n few days ago.
They began by throwing rocks at each
other, when the darkey jumped the fence
into Cowan's barn yard and downed him
and proceeded to pound him, when Cowan
succeeded in getting to his knife, with
which he inflicted three severe wounds.
Two in the back and one in tho neck ofJ
his assailant. Neither of the wounds will
prove dangerous, though it was a narrow
escape.

Warniug! do not carry ginger pop
in your pants pockets. A youth who had
laid him in store a pint flast of real ginger
pop, ami had placed it in his right hand
pant pocket, was standing at the post
office door last Saturday, awaiting the
noon day mail, when a sound was heard,
and the contents of the bottle began to
effervesce through his pants, to bubble
out of the top of his pocket and to play
tricks and hiss as it ran down his leg into
his shoe, and then to boil back from the
depths of the shoe and decorate the post
office floor. Such a com motion! To see this
modest youth draw the bioken parts of
that bottle from his pocket and cast
them to the street, and not anile would
have been impossible for frail humanity.
Yet,, through all this he complained not !
au uudescribable smile lit his face as he
walked away, holding his pants from his
person; and as he met the passers by he
would say : "Its ginger pop !"

Teachers Institute for Rowan County
is now holding its second annual session
iu tho Graded School building of this
city. The session opened on Monday,
with about fifty in attendance ; and the
exercises are exceedingly interesting,
even to those not concerned direct
ly in school teaching as a business.
Mr. Geo. K. McNeill is Superintendent j
Prof. N. S. Smith, of Kockingham Co., In
structor iu Arithmetic and Penmanship;
Rev. F. J. Murdoch, Instructor in History
(North Carolina and U. S.); Prof. R. G.
Kizer, of Enoch ville, this county, Instruc
tor in Grammar and Geography; Miss
Lorena Reynolds) Instructress iu Or
thography and Reading ; Miss A. L.
Bown, Department of Music, aud Mr.
J. M. Hill, Secretary. During the session,
Hon. K. P. Battle, Calvin H. Wiley, Hou.
J. C. Scarborough, Hon. Win. M. Bobbins
and Theo. F. Kluttz, are to deliver lec
tures ou educational topics. Prof. Smith
lectured on last Tuesday night on "Our
common school system and its critics.'.
His effort was attentively listened to by
an appreciative audience. His talk was
eminently practical, and tended to en
large the ideas of his hearers to the im
portance of schools conducted in an in
telligent manner.
On a blackboard may be seen the His
toric divisions as marked out for part of
the course, by Rev. Mr. Murdoch. They
are as follows ; 1st. Discovery and Set
tlement, 1402-1688. 2nd. Growth of Colo
nies, 1688-1775. 3rd. War of Indepen
deuce, 1775-1783. 4th. Constitution and
Early Administrations, 1783-1801. 5th.
Fair Administration, I8D1-1829. 6th.
Party Supremacy, 1829-1861. 7th. Con
federate War, 1861-1865. 8th. Reign of
Force, 1865-1882. The last four of these
divisions are named significantly and are
noticeable in contrast to the usual divis
ions in the present National text books,
yet with a fitness not lessened by the
contrast.
While there is a large and enthusiastic
crowd of teachers in attendance on the
exercises of our Institute, now so success
fully conducted in this place, we are im
pressed by the fact that many faces are
absent, who, by all means should be
present Were wo the Superintendent,
we would think twice before we would
grant permission to teach to those who
show so little zeal and enthusiasm in their
work. Vtrbum sat.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
T. K. BRIBER MANAGER.
There is a move which indicates that
another company w ill begin work on
what is known as the Huimeycutt vein
at Gold Hill. Some parties in Gold Hill
and in Salisbury are interested in this
company, and it is proposed to go to
work.
Undiscovered Mines.
The fact that almost every week we
hear of new discoveries of mineral in this
and adjoining counties is sufficient proof
that there exists yet many undiscovered
mineral deposits of value. Few people
know what the ''indications'' are, and
consequently pass daily our rich mineral
lauds. Any suspicious rocks should be
gathered and sent for assay to one of the
several offices in the county, or to some one
sufficietly informed to pronounce a relia
ble opinion. In this way the work of dis
covery may be hastened. We appreciate
and care for all specimens sent to this
office.

The Western North Carolina
Railroad.
Aalievllle Citizen.
. Air-brakes have been put on tho pass
enger trains between Salisbury and Ashe
ville, thus adding to tho control and
safety of trains on the mountain section.
Major Bowman, civil engineer on the
mountain section, is making important
changes in that section in reducing cur
vatures, particularly at Burch's ridge,
where a very sharp curve has been chan
ged, briuging the line of track nearer to
the mountain. This curve is near the
deep valley at the mouth of Mud Cut.
Mud Cut is being reduced to manageable
condition uuder the management of the
same engineer, and is rapidly changing
for the better. The whole road-bed from
Salisbury west is being relaid with new
cross-tics, and the work of renewing rails
will be continued from Statesville west
as soon as the ties are in place. The
work of ballasting is also goiug on and
will be made thorough.
In connection with this subject, me men
tion that a large portion of the convict
force on the Duck town branch has been
removed and put to work on tho Cowee
tunnel, beyound Webster, sixty miles
west of Ashe ville, nearly the whole of the
intci mediate distance being graded and
twenty-one miles iu daily use by tiaius.
When the South sbaU lve reached the
estate for which she was created, she will
be the nchest conn try in me world. This
time may be far distant the pathway to
this condition will undoub edly be strewn
with sharp rocks and hed h! in by thorns
but it will surely com s. The latent
riches of her mountains, vtles and plains
were not created for jnolimg: Buffalo
North and South.
