done.
Capt. John Bryan had an old-time
corn shucking out on his "quarter" on
last Friday night. It was in the good
old style of the Ante-bellum days, with
all- the appertenanees : pumpkin pies,
and chicken pies, baked in large old
fashioned baking dishes; and the other
things that go with cam shucking
pie. i
Salisbury Pleasure Club. Capt.
Theo. Parker, President of the S. P. C.,
informs the reporter that the members
of the club are invited by "Mr. John
Moore, to meet in his office (Southern
Telegraph,-) on Friday evening, the 30th
inst., for the purpose of organizing for
the coming season. Those interested
are invited to be present.
Mr. C. A. Rice has a curiousfleece re
cently taken from a sheep.y The wool
was so matted together as to render
htlie process of shearing almost like
skinning. Ihe wool was cut around
the ears and the sheep drawn out of
it. In the center of the fleece there is
something which might be mistaken
for a second skin, but it is the matting
of the wool. It is an unusual occur
rence. ' .
Severe A little son of Mr. V. Wal
lace appeared on the streets last Tues
day with a black-eye and a bloody
switch-mark on his temple. He said
he got it at the Graded School, from
Mr. Harry Overntan's department. It
is a ease for the School Committee to
look after. It would be a dangerous
proceeding for a man to whip some peo
ple's children in such a manner, for
any cause whatsoever.
Pictures. Mr. I. H. Foust showed
to the reporter, two landscapes in oil,
jlone by Mr. Eugene L. Harris, artist,
Of Raleigh. One was of "Blowing
Rock, with John's- River Valley and
distant mountains," and the other,
"Beaumont," with Asheville in the dis
tance. Mr. Harris spent several months
in the mountains last summer and he
is prepared to furnish landscapes in oil
from the leading points in the West.
His work is growing in popularity.
Mr. J. W. McKenzie, for some years
connected with the Watcaman office,
goes to Troy, Montgomery county, the
"first of next week, for the purpose of
publishing the Montgomery Star. Eli
as Hurley, Esq., a prominent business
man and lawyer, or that county, will
be editor-in-chief, while Mr. McKenzie
will take charge of local affairs and
conduct all business connected with the
office. , He is a practical, systematic
man, and the Star is to be congratula
ted on getting so competent a man.
There was a novel if not interest
ing show here on last Saturday. It was
a stuffed calf with two heads and f our
feet in front, with one body and
two hind feet. An alligator fresh
from lake Waccamaw, this State, was
the other attraction. The magnificent
band performing in front of the paint
ed "pictur" consisted of a large and
small drum. The, addition of a fife
would have completed the exasperation
of those in the immediate vicinity, and
driven them to- well, the show has
gone and the place need not be de
scribed. All Night.
One of our town" devotees to the
terpsieorlan muse attended a dance
near the six mile tank in this county,
last week. . He left at one -o'clock, but
happening to pass that way next morn
ing about nine, he was surprised to
hear the music and dancing still going
on. He entered and found a few
couples keeping lazy time to the sleepy
music. The eyes of the fiddler were
closed, and his head lay carelessly on
the fiddle he was sawing. The visitor
touched: him. His-eyes came slowly
open, and as he discovered who troub
led his dreams, he exclaimed: "Fore de
lawd! is you heah yit? I lowM vou
went home fore de dance struck itp.
Hymeneal.
The event of the season for the south
eastern part of the county was the
celebration of the bans between Dr. C.
M. Poole and Miss M. E. Linn.
The ceremony was performed, on the
22d inst., by Rev. Saml Rothrock, at
the residence of Mrs. J. C. Linn, the
bride's mother. A number of friends
from the surrounding country and
from Salisbury attended and enjoyed
the magnificent repast served, just after
the ceremony.
The happy pair have the best wishes
of the Watchman.

per are under the impression that Mr.
J as. Mcrienzie, our canvassing and
collecting agent, is collecting as an
officer of the law. This is not true.
While Mr. McKenzie is a Deputy Col
lector, for the Sheriff, that has noth
ing to do with his collecting for the
Watchman. There are some accounts
of long standing on our books that
will be collected by law, but Mr. Mc
Kenzie is only acting as agent at pres
ent. Horses Stolen.
The Messrs. G. A. and R. C. Peeler,
hitched their horses in the vacant lot
in rear of Beall, Bost & Foard's Tobac
co Warehouse on last Saturday even
ing. One rode horse back and the oth
er was driving a buggy. They had
some trading to do, and when they
had finished and returned for their
horses they were surprised to find that
they hacfc been stolen. The horse and
buggy was foimd on Sunday morning
some four miles from town on States
ville road, at large, but the saddle
horse has not yet been heard from.
Took it for the Jail.
An intelligent gentleman, and a
prominent Presbyterian, by the way,
was in Salisbury last week and very
naturally rooked up the church. When
he got in the neighborhood he thought
he must be mistaken and so enquired:
"This is the jail, I suppose? point
ing to the little square session house in
the corner of the church yard.
The passing citizen replied : "No, sir,
that is the session house.
"I thought it must be the jail, as it
is so near the court-house'
It does not require a streteh of im
agination to conjecture the Presbyteri
an church building a court-house, for
its exterior is anything but churchly in
appearance. There is considerable
talk among the members of the con-
gregation tavonng tne building or a
new church. Why not? The church
should keep abreast of the progress of
the times.
Cotton Factory.
Mr. J. D. McNeely reports progress
in the cotton factory enterprise. He
says that the farmers are taking hold.
and that it is likely to become a farm
er s movement. The idea now seems
to be for the farmers to take the whole
matter in hand. Some prominent farm-
er in eacn townsmp will oe requested
to open lists for enrolling stock, and
wjjen enough is taken, these farm
ers will meet and organize, electing
proper and skilled persons to take
charge.
This looks like the right way to do
it. Mr. McNeely invites farmers who
are interested to call and see him. He
will gladly talk the matter over with
them, giving them the advantages to
be derived in detail. The advanced
price on stained cotton alone, he says,
will pay a good percentage on the
amount invested. The mill would use
up all the stained cotton in making
unbleached goods, and would save the
tanner the sacrifice he is obliged to
make in disposing of this grade of cot
ton. Mr. McNeely says that he has already
an offer of five or ten acres in the edge
of town as a gift, on which the factory
may be built. There is something in
this scheme, and the farmers of the
county are the menrto work it up, since
the benefits must accrue largely to
them.
Pavements.
The commissioners of our lively
neighboring town, Winston, have pass
ed an ordinance making it obligatory
on property owners to pave with brick
the streets in front of their property,
in the central part of the town. If
the owner does not do it in a TrPsnn'K
ed time, the work is done by the town
at tne expense of the owner, and should
payment be refused it is collected out
of the property.
That looks like something! Real live
men have a good hold of Winston and
they will make a town of it. Why
not lay holdJiere ? The town of Salis
bury is not burdened with debt, and
the property owners, as a rule, are am
ply able to lay a brick pavement around
their property!
Good judgment is displayed in select
ing brick for walks. They make a du
rable, easy walking pavement, and when
laid with care make a beautiful street.
The centre or business part of town
should always be paved, and brjck is
better than stone for this purpose, be
cause of their yielding, or seeming elas
ticity. The fact that the streets of Salisbury
are being repaired with dirt, quasi
gravel, where once there were brick
pavements, is to be deplored. The ma
terial that is being used is good for the
side streets, and makes a fair walk, but
in the business part of town, (and it is
sufficiently compact to justify the work )
neat, durable pavements should be laid.
Winston is right in making the laying
of good pavements compulsory. Will
the commissioners of Salisburv in mi cm-
rate the work ? Will they take the
lead in this important matter?

York, allowing him to work the Gold
Knob mines for a term of three years.
Russell Mine.
The London Mining Journnl reports
that the directors of this mine announce
that the first shipment of bullion from
the mines was made the first week in
October. '
Brady Mine.
Mr. J. A. Brady, of this county, has
opened several new localities on his
farm which indicate the presence of
strong metalliferous veins. The ores
are sulphides of iron and copper and
resemble the Gold Hill ores. The ma
trix is a talco-slate of a greenish
color. : '
Hoover HilL
Superintendent Freecheville reports
to the London directors ihe result of
the product of the mine.; for the mouth
ot September. They crushed 714 tons
of ore, producing 334 ounces of geld;
worth about $5,400.
Hoover Hill has paid its tenth divi
dend. $up't of the Mint
Capt. R. P. Waring will succeed Cd.
Calvin J. Cowles, as Superintendent of'
the U. S. Assay Office of the CharlotU
Mint.
Prof. Geo. B. Hanna, who does all
the scientific work, will most probablv
be retained. He is a thoroughly re-j
name and efficient man, and has been
assistant for a number of years.
MicaHew Localities.
Mr. C. W. Edgecombe while on a
prospecting tour through Granville,
Franklin and Warren counties, recent
ly, discovered a very fine mica deposit,
from which he says he took out blocks
that would square 10 inches. Other
deposits were also discovered in the
vicinity ; so that it would appear that this
valuable mineral is not confined to the
more Western corlnties of the State,
but that mining for it may become a
valuable industry in other portions of
the State.
Sam Christian Mine.
Mr. Chas. Armstrong, Superinten
dent of the Sam Christian placer mine
was here this week to make contract
for the hauling of twenty-five tons of
machinery to the mines. It is the
"progressive amalgamator" 3f the South
ern Mining and Manufacturing Com
pany of N. J., that they are putting
in. He is very confident that the
machinery that this company are put
ting in is just what is need!, since the
main feature is the great pconomy of
water, the scarcity of which has always
been the main draw back to the property.
Southern Gold Mining and Manufactur
ing Company.
An organization has recently been
perfected at Patterson, N. J., for the
purpose of manufacturing and work
ing the new patents of T. C. Simonton
and J. L. Heywood, in the States of
North and South Carolina and Geor
gia. They expect to have one of their
placer plants in operation by the mid
dle of November on the Sam Chris
tian property in Montgomery county.
They Jiave machinery in successful
operation in New Mexico, and they
think, if equally successful in N. C,
they will revolutionize mining in this
State.
The Cro well Mine.
The Crowell Gold Mine Co., was sold
at publie auction at Albemarle, Stanly
county on Monday for $1000. The
Concord gold mining company were
the purchasers. Concord Register.
The Crowell mine in Stanly county
has been for some time under a cloud.
But that the Company would be sold
at public vendue, was a step not antici
pated bythose who hav been watching
the changes in the management. But
seriously, it is a case that needs to be
looked after by the original stockhold
ers of the Crowell Gold Mining Com
pany. The Concord papers do not say
who or what the Concord Gold Mining
Company is, but the impression obtains
that it is an organization made for the
occasion.
Thanks.
Among the personal and general
notes of the New Orleans Picayune of
Oct. 24th, is found the following bit of
"news":
"Among the commissioners to be ap
pointed by the Governor of North Caro
lina, to the Exposition in London, to rep
resent the products of that State, is one
to look after the mineral exhibits. For
that place Capt. T. K. Bruner is warmly
recommended. He had charge of the
fine mineral display from North Carolina
at the late World's Exposition in this
city ana He discharged the duties of his
trust with signal ability. No better man
can be found for it."

Big Sawing.
- Mr. J. D. Stewart has his three por
table saw mills in active operation all
the time. He has one two and a half
miles northeast of town on the railroad,
another about the
uiu
Mocksville, in Davie county, and the
third is three miles from Salisburv on
the Gold Hill road. The mill in Davi
is engaged to saw about 300,000 feet
of lumber for T. B. Bailey, Esq. When
this is done the mill goes to the "point"
in Davie,( where the waters of the North
and South Yadkin join,) where it will
saw lumber for two new dwellings,
a large tobacco store-house And ntbr
outhouses, for Capt. Stewart, who lives
mere, iie has just completed the order
for the lumber and shingles for the
new Jericho church in Davie county,
and has orders from Mr. Bob Allen,
also of that countv. for 60.000 feet of
lumber and 30,000 shingles. Mr. Stew
art says it will take a year to catch up
with his orders for lumber. This shows
what a man with push and determina
tion can do.
Mr. Stewart has also iust delivered
about 10,000 feet of white and post oak
lumber on lirant s Creek, on the old
Mocksville road. -It is to be used in the
construction of a new bridge over that
stream.

Aluminum.
"This metal can take the place of al
most every other metal in the world, and
very largely that of wood also. In the
first place it is very strong. Its tensile
strength is more than three tons to the
square inch greater than those of the best
Bessemer steel. In fact, it is by far the
strongest metal known. A cannon made
of it would be three times as strong as one
made of steel or gun metal. It is very
stiif or rigid, too: three times as .rigid as
the best of bronze. Another important
thing is that it will not tarnish. Neither
air, nor water, nor salt, nor acids, nor
corrosive gases have the slightest effect
upon it. Neither does intense heat change
its color. It is the best conductor of heat
known in the world, also of electricity.
It would make the best telegraph wires
in the world, having twice the conduct
ing power of copper, with only a third of
its weight, and lasting practically forever.
It is very ductile, and can be drawn into
wire more easily than almost any other
metal. Moreover, it is easily worked,
either hot or cold. It is suitable for any
thing that iron or steel or copper or brass
or bronze or gold or silver is used for,
from the wheels of a watch to a monster
steam engine. In weight, compared with
other metals, it is by far the lightest;
lighter, indeed, than many hard woods.
It is little moreihan one-third the weight
of cast iron. To be exact, a cubic foot of
aluminum weighs only 166 pounds. The
same sized block of cast iron weighs about
451 pounds; of wrought iron, 487 pounds;
of copper, 554J pounds; of lead, 709 pounds;
of bra?s, 528 pounds, and of gold about
1,200 pounds. In brief, it is the lightest,
easiest worked, strongest, most durable,
and generally most valuable of all metals."
Greatest Prairie Fire Ever Known in
Texas.
Fort Worth, Tex., October 21. Re
ports reached here last night from Claren
don, Donley county, and other points up
in the Pan Handle section, of the most
devastating prairie fires ever known in
this State. It is believed that the num
ber of acres burned over, will approach
500,000. The country in which the fires
are raging, extends from Canadian River,
one hundred miles south. It is impossible
as yet to give an idea of the individual
losses.
In some places the cowboys were oblig
ed to ride into the lakes to save them
selves. Judrc Brown, of Clarendon, was
severely burned while endeavoring t
save his summer crop of millet which was
destroyed. Fully one fourth of his range
was also destroyed.
Elections for this Tear.
As to the rest of the year politically
Arkansas will hold a special election No
vember 10 to choose an associate justice
of the State supreme court; Colorado will
elect a judge of its supreme court Novem
ber 3; Connecticut will also on November
3 elect one-half its State senate and all the
members of its house of representatives;
Iowa, on the same date will elect a Gov
ernor and State officers and a legislature;
so also will Massachusetts, Mississippi,
New York and Virginia. On the same
day Maryland .will elect a comptroller and
clerk of the court of appeals; Nebraske, a
supreme court judge and regents of the
State University; New Jersey, part of its
senate and assembly and Pennsylvania, a
State treasurer. News Observer,

SALT? RHEUM OR ECZEMA.
In April, 1884, there appearaed on my
feet and legs what the doctors called Salt
Rheum, which produced intense stdferrng.
1 tried a great many remedies, and had the
attention of one otour best physicians, but
received no permanent relief. The dis
ease continued to grow worse and my
limbs were greatly inflamed. I was finally
induced to try Swift's Specific, aud after
taking four bottles relief came! I contin
ued, however, until I had taken seven
bottles, and am now sound and well, and
not a sign of the disease left. Mygeneral
health has greatly improved, and I most
cheerfully recommend S. srSras being the
best blood purifier that I have ever known.

strength has. returned, and I can walk
farther and take more exercise than' I have
been able to do for years, ffs effects have
been wonderful and the cancer has greatly
improved. W. Shiesliuc.

Swift's Specific is entirely vegetable,
and seems to cure cancers by forcing oat
the impurities from the blood.
MERCURIAL POISONING.
For 25 years I have suffered from the j
effects of Mercury and Iodide of Potassium.
I was salivated in a most fearful way, and
was given up to die. I havp had no relief
from anything I have taken for it, and I
have tried everything, until now, that I
have taken a course of Swifts Specific, It
has entirely cured me. It also cured me of
