( Thanks are duethe- Citizen for the manifest interst taken in the matter' The construction of the line would benefit .Ashe ville and all other points along the Western road. The readers of the Watchman will profit -Dy a perusal. Aa Old Scheme Taklngr Nevr Life. We are 'glad to see through the Salis- bory ; IVaUhman thatx railroad project men iias siept many years nas been re called U memory aud put agaiu in the line of probabilities. The Cheraw road, chartered several years ' ago to connect those points by way of Wadesboro, was ondertkkeni. from its Southern termiuiis, 'and is completed to Wadefboro where it stops.' Noing was done at the Northern end. Why this is so it would be difficult to explain; for the route is a ; very practica ble oiie, runs into aud through Csplendid agricultural country, would pass through probably the richest gold belt in this State; and Hbove and below Salisbury is contiguous to a water power, that is won ;ful in its force and supply. Why Salis ) bury has never poshed her advantages Is a surprise to those who know her com manding positiou, aud the former enter i prise of herj people. Long time ago she was the receiving-and distributing pofnt for tlio Yadkin Valley; not only of that, but that f j the Catawba and of all the Piedmont county. Her merchants were i wholesale priuces. The caravans of wag i ona whitened the piner .woods f Cum berland wiUj their long lines, freighted with goods for distribution through the f interior or carrying down tbe rich pro dacttof.the West. And long time ago j Salisbury was the richest and tbe most prosperous I town in Western ' North : iarouua. &he was not ignorant of the i advantages of railroads; aud as far baclt as 1835 r uuited with Fayetteville in the H survey of a Hue between those two points. - The energy that stfcbulated such pro - ject was spasmodic ; the scheme was abandoned; aud both towns were severely ' ponubed far their indolence; Fayette- villo to be j stripped and drained aud j almost extiuguised, until recent chaues promise to restore her prominence ud i turn: again the tide of prosperity; Salis 4 ;3nr$i to fee the indneuce of railroad;. ! but only as a way station ; kept alive, 1 hat ? shorn of her commanding power; fairly prosperous, but stationary; not I advancing, aiid seeing towns not in ex- Isteiice iu her old days of prosperityl como luto being and surpassing her in : wealth and population. iBut as Fayetteville has revived, so may v SahsburyTBdvance to the podtion she m r 1 er wholly lost. It is a secondary railroad i Sim-I? W- 'iwtance. Situated on f the! North Carolina. lojid, ft i also the J eAstern terminus of the Wastern North Carolina liue. The Hue now projected ?J,,W !!e.

H bat" it '-means to balislrur is that i MiLt it , 1 :i pott n t extent a railroad' eeptre'. which mean, in the word of the Watchman: ' "To the merchant the opening of i ft Barge territory and bringing to this mar ket t ratio that now most naturally goes efcewhvre. It means an Increase to erery branch of business, and to ererr trade. it ; means new capital, new men. new energy; It means everything to the inter ests and prosperity of the town. Let the citizens see to it that nothing is left ou- doue on their part to secure this road. Let them remember that they t mast do thU for tlieinselrea no one can do it for them." ' - . Thia is an appeal that should stimulate action.' We hope to see oar sister town brought opto that high 'standard ;to vruicli uatnrf seemed to hare destined it. AsheriUe dtixetu . i The Sjtanly Observer has this to say on the same subject : And now, don't it begin to to look like there was soiiiethiiig,iii the wind favora ble to a Stanly i ail road T Push on the work, ye men of enterprise for the citi zens of Stanly have been a 'long suffer ing peoplo' on this matter ot a railroad. Now, we shall see which will take the lead, Concord or Salisbury. There is no question that the proper route for a rail road through Stanly county is from Wade8boro, Via Ansnville, via Norwood via Allieinarle to Salisbury; and its com pletion will do much to enhance the material prosperity of Salisbury. How ever, we have no objection to Col. Means' line from Coucord to Albemarle; what we desire is a railroad, and if we cau't get it from one quarter will accept it from another. Shall Industries. It is the aefire- gate of small industries, and not gigan tic scnemes, that build; up trade and make towns grow into cities. It therefore necessary for a community which desires to expand its limits and increase in wealth and population to husband and encourage all its minor enterprises and induce others to join them. Salisbury has exceedingly few of these small industries in her midst. and this fact may be; charged as a hin drance to her more rapid development. All must admit that the mercantile force is amply sufficient for the de- mnn)1a i 1 V uittum ui me wwu auu surrounding country. Were Main street extended to the Yadkin on the one side and to China Grove on the other, and lined with well filled stores, it would not im prove the situation; because that would not effect the necessary conditions of growth. Long lines of - shelves, filled witn gaudy goods, or the massing of 1 . . (. commercial commouities alone does not make either trade or town. There must be a reasonable and increasing demand before there can be rational increase. First create demand, which is -an ele mentary condition of trade, and in crease of business will result quickly. The town has a large scheme the Yadkin Railroad which will be, when built, the grand stepping stone to the town's new life. Yet this neectnot ex clude the encouraging, starting and maintaining of many small industries in and around the town. There is am ple room for work in any branch of trade, l he climate is good, water pure andV living cheap ; with these conditions what is to jprevent any industry from thriving? What can we make? Any thing! For instance, take the woods- there are all kinds m . abundance which may be made into chairs, buck- eis, tuDs, Darreis, sningies, spokes, staves, Ul .m .. i t. . ucivca, wagons, an Kinas oi agricultural machinery, sash, doors, blinds, furni ture and a host of other thincrs. lame and small. There is money to be made m the manufacture of anv of thpm Start liat and shoe factories, canning factories were is iruit enoucrn thrown away here each season to keep a larce xttcwry uusy out uie list wju extend until it includes every articles used in our domestic relations, and there is no ned for further enumeration, When these and kindred industries crrow nn and thrive in our midst, then is estab lished the conditions; the underlying foundation upon which a superstruc ture of elaborate design and grace pro portions may be safely built. A Correspondent of the New York Sun, writihgfrom Ecuador, South America, says :The population is about one million, and thexnation owes twen ty gold dollars per capita for every one of the inhabtants, which consist of 300,000 of Spanish descent, 100,000 foreigners, -and about 600,000 native Indians or persons of mixed blood.The commerce of the country is entirely in me uauas 01 me ioreismers. and thpv have a mortgage upon the entire coun try.

ESCAPE OP KAY AND ANDER SON. The story, of these- brutal murderer in I their-acts of violence in Mitchell county is yet fresh in the minds of the puDiic , j.ney.were under sentence to be hanged, and were confined in the Asheviile prison for safe. keeping until justice should Jbe meeted out to them. All along there has been a feel in o- ifc.t something would happenOo prevent the Just execution of the law. They should be declared oui-l&wa tv,A Km.O to the borders of the lani JMonday night they made their es cape, and the story of the escape is, thus related by the Ashenlle Citizen: M 4 Aboat ft;30 fast nigbt Sheriff Rich en. tered the cell, which is opened br a com. bination lock, the inner doors to the eeUs leading upon an opening veatibnle, belog worked by a leaver from (be wme coa- ed on the oatslJo of the door, Wlog arm ed, and sheriiT. Eklv as U hU -custom, leariu his pistol with bimj the door was closed aed tlie outside bolts sprang into position but not secured, white Hender son held his hands on the.' levers ' which opened the cell doors. No sooner had he sprung this lever aud the liiner doors opened thau Calloway, York and Sluder sprang upon Rich and placed a pistol to his face, Ray at tlie same moment presenting a pistol th rough the bars to iteudersou's breast,- with the statement that if he moved he would kill hira. Auderson then reached his hand through the bars, sprang back the bolts, which had not been fast ened, and tlie cage door ;was'opened. Sheriff Rich and Jailer Ueudersoo were then srearely bonnd and gagged by the desperate men, tlie pistols being held to their head in tlie mean time.! Auderson then came down to tlie first floor with the lamp and keys of the Jailer, add going to the door which lends to the Jailer's room and affords an outlet, and handed the keys to through to a little .son of the Jail er, and told him to open the door at once. The little fellow ran to his mother, and she came to the door; seeing Anderson at the door, she refused to -open it, when he told her if she did not open j the door at ouce he would kill her husband. With aheroism to bo commended,! Mrs. Hen derson slammed to the solid; iron door, and running to a window gave an alarm which was heard outside. In the mean time Anderson, finding himself thwarted at the door, we ut to the East window of the jail and waved his lantern, setting it in the window, and then securing A second land tern, went to a window on the west of the building where he found a dozen or more confed erates on the outside; an axe and two .pistols were handed iu to him and others of the prisoner having joined him, a vig orous attack was made upon the brick wall of the jail with the axe, another be ing used at the same point by parties out side, and iu about two tniuutes an apper ture had been made sufficiently large to ndiuit of egress. Ray was the first to leave the apperture, which his did with a pistol iu each hand. He was followed by Anderson, Calloway, Sluder and York-fall armed, aud joining their confederates outside, they made good their escape from town, firing upon one or two parties with whom they met. Within a few minutes Messrs. Will and Go8 Reynolds and Col. Williamson made heir way iuto the jail and released Mes srs. Rich and Henderson, who had been bouud and gagged, and Sheriff Rich at once called into requisition the aid of the Asheviile Light lufantry and pursuit was made in different directions. A t 12 o'clock to-day Capt. Moseley returned after a fu tile search thns far leaving Sheriff Rich still in pursuit with an armed posse, and it is' hoped that the Sheriff may be fortu nate enough to come up with: them. Telegrams have been sent but in every direction of the escape. Gov, Scales had been communicated with, and has offered a reward, of $400 each for the capture of Ray and Anderson. In connection with the affair, wo will state that three brothers of Raj- two of them living in Texas were in town Monday evening, and that a half-dozen or more men form Mitchell countv came iuto town Monday evening. ; TheTtaleiuh News-Observer thus re lates the story of their ; murderous deeds : Ed. Ray and W. A. Anderson, who escaped are among the best known crimi nals in the State. They were concerned in the "mica mine mnrdes, iu Mitchell cqhhty, in February, 1884. fcay is n roan of desperate character, who is reported to have killed seven men since the wnr ended. He was a revenue officer and in each case succeeded in harlug the case brought before the federal courts, where nn the plea that the killing was done in the discharge of his duty, he secured an acquittal. On a Suuday in Februarv. 1882, he went with W. A. Anderson to a I mica mine near Flat Rock, Mitchell coun ty, where several men Were at work. Ray claimed the ownership of the mine and ordered the men out of it while they were working it. They refused to go. A quarrel ensued and Ray aud Anderson began- shooting down in the mine. Ray killed one Miller and a man named Bur leson, and badly wounded Burleson's brother. Anderson shot and killed a man named Horton, Ray and Anderson fled and made their escape. The murders created the most intense iudijrnation iu al the western part of the State. Several hundred armed citizens scouted the moun tains of Mitchell county. Finally the pursuit became so hot that Ray and An derson surrendered to the officers of the law. They were kept in jail at Bakers vjlle for a time, and bo high tras the feel ing against them and so many the threats of rescue- that Gov. Jarris was about to send troops there to guard the jail. Final ly both men werejaken to Asheviile jail. There they were several times guarded by troops. Once pistols rirere found in their possession. They wero tried at Lenoir. Anderson was sentenced to be hanged, but took an appeal. Last De cember, at Lenoir, Ray uas sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment in the peni tentiary. Both these murderers took ap peals to the supreme coart. Since taking these, last spring, the jail was guarded perhaps Jen nights by a , detach men t of th Asheviile Light lufantry. Both men hare influential relative in Mitchell eoUNtyt the most lawleas in the State, and. some ;of their friends' in a measure defied the authorities by their assertions that they would get the men ; out of liil. There wa always tuore V less ear that they woold scai. though the jailor ftIJtl sheriff -of Bnncom ha ap&rcd to consid er HJaipoaUbJv? W Tim M0RKU?O iM7bAt time etc dt.
