His time for indulgence has ex pired, and the law now steps ia and de mands a settlement. No excuse is valid. Remember that by leaving the county you do not free your obligation to pay taxes. Under the new law, a man may be indicted and imprisoned for the non-payment of his taxes, and the officers of our county may take a man who is due taxes ia another county. This new law goes right in for collecting taxes and there is no dodging. o Rev. J. B. Boone, of this city, delivers the Literary Address at Big Lick Acade my, to-morrow.

The fellow ing names held the lucky numbers: Clerk, Maj. P. N. Smith. Treasurer, O. D. Davis. Tax Collector, T. B. Bead. Cotton Weigher, A. S. Lewter. Hay Weigher, G. W. Wright. Sexton, J. J. Bell. For some reason, best known to the board, the election of Policemen was postponed for several weeks. It is re ported that there are several colored ap plicants clameriug for these - places. While the colored vote entitled them to recognition in the distribution of offices, yet it wonld hardly work to have colored policemen here. Owing to the prejudice which already exists between the races caused by several unfortunate circum stances, needless to mention, there wonld be endless trouble. o Dr. W. A. Wilborn, principal of the Graded school has had a call to go Texas and take charge of a large school. Mr. J. F. Moser, also a teacher in our graded school, has been offered a profess orsbip in the large aud flourishing Col lege, at Conover There is one thing certain, and that is that the people of Salisbury must have a school for the education of the six or eight hundred white children growing up within her limits. Should all the teachers leave the town, and the graded school building stand idle, two things would follow. First, those who are able to educate their children would support private schools, or send their children away, and second, those who are not able to pay tnition in a private school must grow up in igno rance. It is a lamentable fact the white people in the county are not so diligent in the pursuit of knowledge, through the medium of the school room, as are the colored people. Tliese few facts are food for thought for the powers that be. o . XST The uext best thing that the Com missioners of Salisbury can do in respect to street improvement, since the people have refused to make a debt, will be to begin now to consider the subject in the light of all the facts attainable as to the best possible method of proceeding under the circumstances. Aud whilst we do not assume to judge for them, we respect fully suggest that our old methodaare neither wise nor economical. It does not pay to hire men to work with picks aud shovels where it is possible te employ scrapers aud horse power. It is not eco nomical to hire men to break stone with hammers where it is practicable to have it done by crushers, as at the gold iniuea in this vicinity. . These aud other details are fitting subjects of inquiry when it comes to be considered what can be done on this important subject with the means available for the purpose. Aud if we are correctly informed this is no trifling sum It ia possible to appropriate from $1,500 to $1,800 a year from the receipts per anuum, after meeting other necessary ex penses and paying off part of the town debt. This ought to be sufficient to ac complish a valuable, permanent improve ment every year ; aud if judiciously man aged will certainly do it ; and if prose cuted with steadiness, would in a few yearn accomplish all the good proposed by a public debt. And this is the method of proceeding which seems popular at this particular time ; and oae of the arguments in support of it is, that it avoids a grind ing public debt. We are aware that there are members in the nevr Board who are practical on read questions, and who are well aware of the wastefulness of all merely tempo rary repairs. But with not less than six miles of road-ways and nearly double that of pavements to put in readiness for winter and keep in order, with clamoring citizens in every part of the town for a little work here and a little there, it is feared that they will uot be able to ac complish anything in the way of a per manent improvement.

Some little work has been done on this proper ty lately, and the vein, three feet wide, exposed and proved for over 500 feet It is about one and half miles from Gold Hill, on the same run of veins, and em-1 bedded in the same formation: some rich ore was taken from thi. mine befote I the war The deepest shaft is 50 feet Very little work has been done, only a tunuel driven about 20 feet on the lode, and most of the backs stoped away. The deep Randolph shaft at Geld Hill is clear of water. The forking of the water from this shaft, 750 deep, with same 900 feet of drift and open stapes has been the absorbing work for the past few months. The necessary preparations for sinking will be completed in a few days when they will begin to go down in whole ground. Hope to have some more definite news shortly. Hidden Mink. Prof. Hidden has an opeu cut 165 feet long and 90 feet wide 28 feet in depth with the original discov ery abaft in the center. He has struck many of the deposits of gems iu this cut and proposes when be gets up his derrick to put 25 or 30 men at work. At present not more than 10 men are at work going down on the bed rock a very tough gneiss. A tramway 600 feet long re moves the debris to the waste dump and the Professor is in good heart that the mine will pay good dividends now that the dead work is done. The mine is stocked at $200,000.00 held in New York City but not on the market. They have paid one dividend of 30 per cent.

Mr Editor : Sidce writing mv last, the health of this community has remained good. But likc all other sections, it is uot entirely , i- exempt from sickness, and we often seel Dr. J.G.

Ifgrauted there will be a contiuous thoroughfare from the Wilke8boro road to China Grove, from which point, there is, we believe, alrea dy a road lending toThird Creek Station. It will involve the building of a bridge at public expense across 4th Creek, be low Bakers Mill, winch we think would be just and proper, as it is a great hard ship upon Mrs. Baker, who is a widow lady, to keep up the bridge, especially as the road will not be one of mere local or sectional advantage, but one of absolute public necessity as there is now a large and growing trade at Third Creek station and much of the produce of this section passes over una roau, oesiues us oeiug a tiiurcn anu luiu runu. By an Act of the last General Assem bly, the town of Third Creek was char tered. At the recent election, Dr. S. W. Eaton was elected Mayor, with J. A. Ly erly, R. M. Roseboro aud A. D. Moore as Commissioners, and Rufus Lyerly as Marshall, aud the place has regularly aud formally assumed the dignity of a Town. Taking the depot as a centre, the village embraces an area ef of a mile each way, thus making it li miles square quite a couaiderable place. The village, as we have before stated, has four stores, iu which geueral mer chandise is kept. The proprietors are, Messrs. J. A. Lyerly, R. M. Roseboro, Allison Bros., aud R. A. Burroughs. The village embraces a population of about 100, including white aud colored. The two steam cotton gins at the place uinned about 600 bales, which was all shipped from that point during the last season, lhe Allison Bros., have now iu course of construction, a magnificent dwelling, and many other signs of im provement are to be seen. The place enjoys as good health aa any community, aud is located iu the very heart af the most fertile lauds in Rowan . embracing portions of both Scotch Irish and Mt. Ulia. Having already a large aud growing trade, it seems to us to be a very inviting place for men of capital. There was, a tew years since, a handle MINING. factory, run by 8. F. Lard which did a good business, and such an establishment would do wall again, aa it ia surrounded by the best timbered land ia the county, embracing hickory, white oak. etc They I ati.mlit nnt tin nmrli i nftrv lV nil mKML .

Respectfully, W. R. F. For the Watchman The Board of '78. Ma. Editor : Hoping that it ia net an intrusion upon your columns, I desire to Rtuf flint, without: an v intent whatever to reflections on the actions of any particular Board of Commissioners, which have heretofore managed tne asalre ol our town, tne writer et toe article in cue Ezamer so readily took exceptions, did not pretend to charge that the Beard which preceded that of 1878 created any aeot j aeitner am no uuaertaKe to state -ttty for the figures given were anything else than definite as te tae real amount of the debt of the town at that period. But be was defiuite in stating the fact that the board af 78 made a batter showing as to economy in the administration of the town government than any ether within writer's knowledge. And, since the xaminer has found tault in a simple sag geetion 1 have gone to the records for the facta aud figurea, aad find that my in formation, though obtained from person - al sources, was net far from correct. For 10 Vi mmm aew ws fz,7fi.l8, and !5?.LtT-fTC?i 71 .r A red net ion of tsiiM from 5l fa ill ot. U valorem, and from $1.50 to $IM on the poll, (his board paid all of the above debt except $1194.34, and bat for the tax re ductions would likely have paid the town out of debt. Again, from all that could be gathered from the sources at hand, the board of 1878 can not be more blamed for the bad condition of tome of the roads leading into town, than its predecessors. And, furthermore, an erroneous state- manf ia Diaitu n-lin it ia Jil that tlllB brt)Ught a heavier debt upou the town bv the "Morrison suit'1 than before. The true intent of the writer, however, was to show that if we could be fortunate in securing the election of another such Board, the debt of several thousand dol lars which is upon the town might soon be paid off without placing a heavier burden of taxes on the people. Hope the Eramtner may make an ex hibit of bow the machinery of the town government has been ruu ; for doubtless, the public wilt properly appreciate what ever facts may be given relating te its af fairs.

The Pope in his circu lax to the Irish bishops says whatever Pa in el fs object may be his followers bare often adopted a course opeuly against the rules of the Pope's letter to Cardinal McCabe, and instructions sent to the Bishops which were accepted at their recent meeting in Dublin. While it is lawful for the Irish to seek redress for tbeir grievances and to strive for their rights, tbey should at the same time seek (rod's justice and remember the wicked ness of illegal means in furthering even a just cause.

The lady was presumably surprised ; at any rate she refused him decidedly. He, how ever, persisted so vigorously in his wooing that in desperation she told him that if he wonld "cease to press bin suit she would give him $1,000." lie took it. St. Louis Republican : Twenty years ago the Manchester road, a tine, broad turnpike leading from the city of St. Louis a distance of nearly thirty miles through St. Louis county, was inhabited on both sides almost exclusively by American farmers whose homes were the abodes of a liberal hospitality. Perhar there was too much hospitality in them ; perhaps this accounts for the chauge that has taken place. At any rate, nearly all the farms on this noble road have passed out of the bauds of Americans iuto the brands of Germans, and it is now a German highway from oue end to the other.
