We are reliably informed tht the debt
of the town prim to 1881 was over $6,000
and the present board has redtned the
debt to less than $4,000, besides keeping
up all the ordinary expenses of the town,
and supporting Hie Giaded schools, which
cost neaHy 2,000.
The Colored Graded School has not
been run because they had no bnilding.

Mr. Editor: Our spring examination
is oyer. There were 34 applicants, inclu
ding both i aces, to whom 2d second and
third grade certificates were issued. The
ett'ort shown by these persons is commen
dable. It gives encouragement to the
friends of popular education to know that
those wlio have been teaching, as well as
those "who are aspirants in educational
matters, are uot satisfied with present
acquirements. I he true teacher is never
idle. He must ever "be np and doing
with a heart for 'any ate." His work is
one of incessant toil. He canriever win
laurels without the most patient, perse
vering aud determined effort. These
teachers gave every assurance of their in
tention to be present at the approaching
Institute, which is no longer a matter of
dwubt or uncertainty, as the appropria
tion was made at the last meeting of the
Couuty Board. The time the precise
time of holding this Institute will be
specified at the next meeting of our Couu
ty Association. Let alt be ready and
anxious for it. Able instructors will lie
there. The hest talent in the laud will be
secured. Look forward to th occasion
with delight and come prepared, not to
study pi inter's ink merely, but for a ''feast
of fat things" in modes aud methods in
earnest endeavor to teach how to teach.

Dear WateltaMu :
The voice of the whippoorwilj is rain
ciiilled. The waters eover the faco of
our bottom lands; the plow stands idle
with very little corn planted and the
greater part of our cotton land yet to pre
pare. Farmers are wonderfully behind.
Oh how we sigh for the sunshine and dry
weather! We have some bright spots ;
our clover fields are luxuriant, aud fertil
ized wheat on our red lauds looks prom
ising. Cuffey (true to his natural instinct) is
making an occasional smoke-house raid,
but his chances for "making a raise" are
slim. Our bacon is tolerably safe iu the
house up stairs stored in boxes.
Cupid, the little rascal, has been draw

"Haste. to the Wedding" instead. Next
in order was to take account of stock iu

For the Watchman.
As a suggestion to the Democratic vot
ers of Salisbury, ou this the eve of their
meeting to nominate candidate for Mayor
and Board of Commissioners, would it not
be well to consider the oue question which
is of more vital interest to taxpayers than
all others, viz: securing proper meu to
entrust with, aud to iusure au economical
disbursement of, the town's finances ? We
have Irad such men, and by a judicious
selection we may have them again. If
we understand the routine of a perfect
municipal administration, the first thing
requisite is to have au intelligent, up
right man at the head us mayor. A man
who has the leisure to devote nearly if
not all his time to seeing after the vari
ous interests of the town, with an eye, es
pecially, to the very best management of
its tinaucesjand if weget such au one, keep
lii in there so long as he will faithfully
serve; and then, whether bonds carry or
not our towu will soon be clear of debt,
and after a few years, if we really want
better streets we can have them.
On the 1st of May, 18?8, when the old
board of the preceding year retired, it
Lleft a debt of about $4,000, and had du-
riug its term Jevied a tax of 50 tents on
the . 100 worth of projierty, and to the
highest limit allowed iu the charter on
the poll. But in May, of the above year,
a new Hoard of Commissioners was elect
ed with P. N. Heilig as Mayor, aud
one among the first acts this board
did was to lower the taxes hbout 20 per
cent. ; and, notwithstanding th0 conse
quent reduction of the towln's finances,
they did fully as much work on the streets
as is ever done : added several improve
ments to the town, and at the end of their
,-ul mi nisi rat iou had reduced the debt to I
about $1,100. Pfcl.

Mining: in Catawba County.
Shuforri Gold Mine.
The Shuford Gold mine, five miles
southeast of Catawba, on the Western
N. C. Railroad, is the only mine in active
operation in the county. The claim em
braces lour huudrcd -and twenty-five
acres, aud is worked by an un stocked,
private organisation, which is headed by
Mr. Wm. A. Sweet, ef Syracuse New
Yoik.
This mine has been worked for years
long before the war and has always had
a reputation for producing free gold in
paying quantities. It was probably dis
covered by a slave, the servant of John
Shuford, the owner. Up to 1860 the pro
perty was worked by digging shallow
shafts, and following up rich "stringers"
aud "pockets" fat places" in the hide.
Later it was worked deeper and chilltan
mills were used. The deepest shafts on
the old workings are about 70 feet,
at which depth they came to water.
In 1880 the pioperty was purchased by
the present owners, and in March of the
following year, Mr. P. W. Dygert, of
Syracuse, N. Y., was placed in charge.
At this time a large portion of the hill
(some half mile long, by a third of a mile
wide) was "grophered" all over by shal
low shafts, from which borrowing had
been done in following up pay streaks
and in search of pockets. It was decided
to work the mine by sluice washing, and
ior this purpose n 75 horse boiler and a
50 horse pump weie placed. A large
reservoir covering about ten acres was
built to supply water. With this plant
they began washing which was kept up
to the first of January 1883, with fair
remunerative success. During the sum
mer of '82 Mr. Dygert spent some time in
prospecting with pump washing off a
ledge above old workings tohe depth
of lour feet, clearing an erea of three
acres. This work disclosed, iu addition
to the numberless stringers which cut the
mass in all directions, a large vein of
quartz a mixture, containing saccharoi
dal quartz, ferreginous quartz, aud calca
rions qnartzr The general formation is
gneissoid, or mica schist, and a calcareo
argillacions slate, filled with seams of
kaolin and seggregntions of manganese.
This veiu was found to be auriferous.
A shaft was then put dowu which cut
the vein at 50 feet, where it proved more
valuable in metal.
The discovery of this lode, hitherto
not, kuowu to exist, gave the com
puny great stores of ore. in addition to
that already explored. Duriug the fall of
the same year a mill hoase aud labratory
was built by Mr. R. Slosson, of New
1 York, for the company. The buildings
are substantial aud convenient, aud re
flect credit oil the builder- who returned
to Lis homo a short time since. Five
stamps were placed, (room to accommo
date ten) through which the concentrates
from the sluice washings were run. This
improvt uniit proved cntiiely successful
and yielded fair returns for the additional
outlay. Through the kindness of the
Superintendent we were shown over the
property, aud as a matter of interest will
mention briefly the work, as conducted
l now.
The magnificent 50 horse pump' is
throwing a volume of water sufficient to
feed twomoniters, through 1700 feet of
iron pipe, and making a verticle lift of 80
feet. These moniter nozzles are H and
2 inches in diameter, with 50 pounds
pressure at the discharge. The two
streams of water from these nozzles piny
against the lode which has been loosened
bypick8, washing the clay out and carrying
it off in the water. 11m auriferous mat
ter which has been freed from the clay is
gathered iu the gtound sluice and carried
to the mill. The metal bearing matter
which escapes through the sluice boxes
is captured at the end of the race and
heaped on dumps. At present there is at
least 1000 tons of tailings on this dump.
The line of boxes is 750 feet long,
with riffles all the way, and is charged
with mercury. The line runs to the head
of the 370 foot tunnel, drops 20 feet to
the floor of the tunnel, thence to the tail
race. With their pump they can furnish
ore for five more stamps. They are only
wahiugiu day time, which supplies au
abundance of ore for mill which is going
day and night. 'At present they have ore
enough in sight to run ten stamp mill
for ten years, besides the contents of the
silt dams which hold the workings of 18
mouths before they began to concentrate.
Assays from these silt dams show a
value iu free gold of six dollars per ton.
A decided advantage over mining
elsewhere in this State is iu two facts;
first, the entiie absence of sulphnrets,
: second, cheapness of operatians. They
can cnt down, concentrate aud deliver at
mill a ton of ore for 05 ceuts. When the
contemplated improvements are complet
ed thvy can do the same work for oue
third less. This improvement will con
sist of building a tram road from mill to
the hill, aud through an 8x8 foot tunnel,
about 400 feet long into the lode. This
will open 35 feet iu depth of the whole
suiface already worked. Wheu this new
tunnel is iu, the nozzles will be turned on
the hill and washed from all sides to the
tunnel flume?, where it will be concentra
ted aud sent on tram cars to mill.
For over 18 mouths the mine wae
worked as placer, duriug which time
they cut au excavation 700 feet long,
twenty feet deep, and 250 feet wide in
the widest part, and 100 feet at the most
narrow. Below this 20 foot excavation
there is 40 feet of pay ground, explored,
aud which will be woiked as indicated iu
the plau for improvement, men tinned
above.

For the Watchman.
A Mineral Evil.
The Watchman is deserving ef the
highest praise for the interest it shows in
the mining interests of Noith Camliua.
It has done great good in bringing the
interests of this particular section promi
nently bcfoie the world, and I know it
will lend me its columns for a plaiu word
iu season in this regard.
There is a great evil under the sun and
it is largely located in Salisbury. It is
this : Let it be known that a party with
capital is here tor the purchase of a par
ticular mine, and instantly he is beset by
a swarm ot men each with a mine, with
pockets stuffed with specimens with ex
travagant stories ef its wondrous rich
ness, (lecompanied with remarks depre
ciating every other mine iu the section,
and particiilnrlv that one which the party
has come expressly to buy. Oh, foolish
aud short sighted SalisUui ians ! who hath
bewitched 3011 thus ? This line of. acting
simply has the ettVet of breaking trades,
preventing sales, and inspiring would-be-purchashera
with distrust. Will our peo
ple interested in mines learn . to mind
their own business aud let other people's
alone? In the eud they would find it
much the better iioiicy. It is the wise
policy ot business men and not of sharp
ers. Is it any wonder that strangers are
learning to look upon ercrv mine as a
fraud, and every man with a mine to sell,
as a swindler ? If thev believe one twen
tieth of what they are told tibout either
oy interested pa 1 ties, they must come to
these conclusions.
Such conduct, with some other evils,
which I may uot ice hereafter, will cer
taiuly ruin our promising mineral inter
csts, if persisted ill. PvuiTKS.

"Don t meddle with the tun it ngmn,
unless you want to split the party," says
the Democratic trimmer. In reply, we
say tho tariff issue is the great over
shadowing issue before the people, aud
it is the issue which the Democratic patty
must meet. The party that dodges it
invites defeat aud deserves to be split.
Is not that party divided upon the tariff
question T The New York Times, New
York Post, Albany Journal, Chicago
Tribune, Iluffalo Express, to say nothing
of scores of He publican newspapers rep
resenting intelligent constituencies in the
rural districts of the West, are decidedly
opposed to a high tariff system, aud as
decidedly in favor of a geuine reform and
reduction in tariff' duties. The fact is,
the gieat mass of the Democratic party
aud a very respectable following in the
Republican party demand this reform.
For every man who will fall out of the
Democratic ranks, when the Democratic
party shows a determination to stand by
its pledges Oil the tariff question, teu Re
publicans will step in. The Democratic
party must not attempt to keep time to
the old republican music. The party
that wins in 1884 will he the party that
rigorously fights against excessive taxa
tion, which is just what comes from this
old war tariff. lioston Pwt.

The Inventor df Pins.
The Scientific American notes the death
in New Haven, at the age of 86, of Jarvis
Brush who helped to make the ftast pin
machine a practical success. The funda
mental truth, "it is a sin to steal a pin."
has not so much force now-a-days as it
had before Mr. Brash began In work,
aud in the early part of this cent 111 v a
package of "half a thousand pins" was
not an uuusual or an insignificant wed
ding present. Dr. J. J. Howe, iu 1836,
devised a machine for making pins out
of wire, and Jarvis Biusli established in
1840 the American Howe Piu Company,
of Birmingham Conn., and sent out the
first "solid headed" pins that the world
had seen. For years this company manu
factured all the pins iu the country and
exported large quantities to Europe.
Hundreds of tons of copper aud steel were
annually made into pins and ninnv im
provements were madeuntil the modern
silvered aud polished pin became a mar
vel of art compared te the clumsy affair
of forty years ago. Oue of Mr. Brush's
most useful inventions was for sticking
the inns in paper, an operation that had
been previously done tediously by hand ;
a few being inserted at a time, and six
dozeu papers being regarded as a full
day's work. This he superseded by self
acting machinery, dispensing with many
manual operations, and enabling one
hand to stick one or two hundred dozen
papers a day, aud to do the woik better
than it had been done.

There is a young editor in North Caro
lina who is not to be seduced from right
thinking and right acting by any pros
pective reward which may be held outby
the Radical -Liberal combination. We
refer to the editor of the Wilson Aaran
who in his last paper says :
"It is an insult to the young men of tire
State to say that they can be buaght with
office. They constitute a larye portion ot
the active strength of tlie Democratic
party, aud we wish to say, as oue of them
that they are net there for office; neither
can they be induced to leave it for nftiee
or political preferment. Tliey are there
liecauee, desiring the welfare of their
State and the honest administration of
the affairs of the govern incut, there is no
other place for tfrem. They are there for
principle for their country's good."
Well and nobly said. This has the
true ring, and the young men of the State
who regard character more thau prefer
ment will echo the sentiment and act up
on it 117. Star.

cerning the dynamite policy is attributed
to respect for American opinion, and i
taken in England as an approval of re

attributed to the good sense of the coa-

heavy breaks as soon as the weather turns
warmer and farmers can handle their to
