Come back and try your hand again. A building boom, unprecedented in the history of Salisbury, is predicted by those who generally know what they are talking about, for next spring and summer.

Don't all go to see it the same night. Capt. James Low met with a serious accident at the depot last Tuesday evening. His train was moving in on the N. C. road and he tried to get off before it stopped. He fell and was dragged under a wheel and his face terribly mashed. The front wall of the' "Iron Sides" warenouse wouia present a better ap pearance, if extended a few feet above the roof with a square finish. This is merely a suggestion. Any finish given to it will be such an improvement on the late edifice, which so long disgraced Main Street, that it will prove satis factory. Mr. Eli Moose, formerly a citizen of Salisbury, was a year or more ago per manently disabled caused bv injuries sustained in a smash up on the Shen andoah Valley Rail Road. He brought suit for damages, and at a recent term of Superior Court, held at Lexington, Va., got judgment for the sum of $8,000. Macadamizing or paving the streets should claim the attention of the citi zens of Salisbury at once, while an in exhaustible supply of stone can be had for a mere song. An effort is being made by some capitalists to purchase the whole of Dunn's Mountain, and if successful, will hereafter sell rock by the pound. Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Brown, of Ashe ville, are visiting friends and relatives here. While they live in the -pros perous mountain town, yet their hearts are with the people of Salisbury. What a dear old place it is: and how fondlv do those who know it well, love to dwell on the pleasures of Salisbury's social life. The resignation of Mr. T. J. Sumner imposes upon the magistrates of the county a -difficult task. Few of our fellow citizens possess thequalifications to fill successfully the chair made va cant by the retirement of this gentle man. A practical business man of in tegrity, weH informed in regard to county matters, with leisure and incli nation to devise plans for the public welfare, is not easily found. Such a man is Mr. Sumner; and to find his equal may be possible, but it is not believed the county can produce his superior. Golden Wedding. Geo. W. Smith and wife, now of Illinois, celebrated their golden wed ding in that State recently. Mr. Smith was born in 1814, and Mrs. Smith, who was before marriage, Matilda A. Wal ton, was born a year later. They are both natives of this county, and have still many friends in the country here. Not Too Fast. Some of the good friends of this paper are paying up in advance, and more, they are paying up to 1887. Whil this is very encouraging and shows unboundexfconfidence, yet it is not best to pay so far in advance. Agents and canvassers are requested not to take subscriptions for a longer term than one year m advance. Frost. y The first really killing frost occurred Tuesday morning Nov. 3d. The mercu ry went lower down the scale (to 30) than at any time before this fall, by at least 10 degrees. The autumn has been charming to a degree arely experienced ; favorable to the farmers, and all out-door operations; and up to this time our gardens have been green, flowers blooming, birds happy, and all nature smiling. Building. Mr. Stephen Shuman, builder, has finished the house , oti the corner of Church and Fisher streets for Mr. Lewter, and -is now engaged in build ing a dwelling for Mr. W. A. West, near the car shops, on Lee street. He has two more residences to build as soon as he gets the West house com pleted; one for Mr. Milton Rufty, on the eastern extension of Fisher street, and one for E. B. Brownt near the car shops. A Lively Race. On last Friday morning a regular old time scene occurred in the streets of the town. It was a pell mell race after a negro cow thief. He had stolen a cow from Mr. Sam Cozort and was doing tall running to prevent capture. As he ran down he street every body, even dogs of high and low degree! joined m pursuit. The yelling and ex citement grew more intense when the officers began to shoot at the fleeing negro. After some nine shots had been fired at him iie was caught by officer G. H. Shaver, near the edge of town. He was an extraordinary run ner and made the jolliest race that has occurred here since the ''Patroli" used to chase the belated darkey. - a ' 'i Court-house and Park. The condition of the Court-house and surroundings certainly deserve the attention of those entrusted with the care of the county's property. There is no disposition to ask for unreasonable or extravagant expenditures of the peoples money, yet there are needs that those entrusted with the people's money and property should look care fully into. The original design of the Court-house included a plat of ground to be enclosed with an "iron fence, and a general front entrant Tb a- of - J. in Jicp a i fl7m nA 7rp fo Tko . 1 ; T 8 , tion and are to be seen now in frnntnrf . f ho h,f;u; TUi iJw J J??? mis entrance were mH i t condition that i 1 L comd be nnisheif without -placing any! extra tax on the people. . ItauieklvsnrPW i--i J .c naa Deen suomitted to the Hoard bv Report of Graded Schools. Rev. Mr. Murdoch, Secretary of the School Committee, kindly furnishes the following report : WHITE 2D MONTH SCHOOL YEAR, 1885-86 1884-85 1888-84 Enrollment 290 296 285 Av. attendance 214.2 234 228 COLORED 1ST MONTH SCHOOL YEAR. 1885-86 1884-85 1883-84 Enrollment 114 s 103 A v. attendance 75.6 75 The Graded School. At a meeting of the School Commit tee on Tuesday afternoon an investiga tion was made with regard to the boy who was hurt at the Graded School last week. After a full inquiry it was unanimously decided that neither the Principal nor Prof. Overman should be blamed, and that it was by an accident that the boy was hurt. This is ample vindication of Mr. Overman's ; course, and from what the reporter has learned since in regard to the facts, it is correct. The informa tion which I occasioned the first notice was gathered on the street and from a sight of the boy. The committee should arrange so as to preclude the possibili ty of another accident of this character. The Graded Schools are to have a holiday on the 20th thanksgiving day. ; A Case of Desertion. It is an old saying: "Marry in haste and repent in leisure," and how ofterri in life is the truth of the saying ob served. A Mr. Vernon, something of an itinerant phrenologist, a traveled Englishman took up a temporary abode in Davie county, in the "Fork country" and finally persuaded Miss Mary Hendrix, one he young ladies of the neighborhood, to marry him. Last week they started off together and at Greensboro, Vernon left his wife, as he said, to return to Salisbury to colleet some money. When she next heard from him, he was in Goldsboro, and wrote to the effect that "abouthe best thing she could do was tovg6ack to her father," Her father meCier here a few days since and took her home. He, unworthy wretch, isStealing off, probably to entice some other confi ding woman to a like fate. Mr. Hendrix, who is a well-to-do farmer, feels much outraged that such villainy should be practiced cn a mem ber of his iamily. His neighbors are also indignant. THE COTTON FACTORY Mr. J. B. McNeely is still pushing the cotton factory scheme. The far mers seem to take to the idea very well, and the prospect seems fair for success. m oruer 10 expedite matters, it is sug gested that the following nained gen tlemen, and any others who may de sire, start subscription lists in their respective townships : Mt. Ulla, Jesse W. Miller, J. M. Harrison ; Steel, J. R. Davis, W. L. Kistler ; Scotch Irish, D. Flemings Lyerly & Bro. ; Unity, Rice Bro. & Bailey, W. A. Thomason ; Franklin, A. M. Sullivan, Thos.

A. bhimpock, F. A. Mauney Morgan, Paul M. Shaver, John Bu chanan ; Providence, J. A. Ludwick, Jas. A. Craige Everybody in Salisbury township is expected to work for it. The gentle men named are requested to urge the importance of this matter on their neighbors. It can be made a profita ble business. What do the farmers of Rowan say ? C0U1JTY AFFAIRS. The County Commissioners held their regular monthly meeting on last Mon day. Routine business, auditing ac counts, making allowances for the poor, etc., consumed much of the time. HIRING PRISONERS. For several years the Board have been hiring out prisoners who were confined in jail tor Court fines and costs. This plan at once relieves the county of the expense of feeding them, and at the same time enables them to pay up their dues. THE KEEPER OF THE POOR reported that an average of twenty-six paupers were cared for at the poor house during the month of October. He presented an-itemized statement of the expenses for maintaining them for the month. The aggregate amount to $48,19. There are twenty-nine paupers at the poor house now twelve whites and seventeen negroes. TAX WARRANTS SERVED. Deputy Sheriff John Beard was in structed and ordered to serve all tax warrants now in his hands for collec tion, f COURT HOUSE REPAIRS Messrs, J. S. McCubbins, C. F. Ba ker, and W. L. Kluttz were appointed as a committee to have all necessary repairs made on the cupola and roof of the Court-house at once, and to have all otljier necessary repairs on the build ing done at an early date. BRIDGES. On petition of the citizens of Mt. Ulla township, a bridge was ordered to be built across Sill's creek, on the road leading from the Sherrill's ford road to the Lineolnton rood ; also, that the bridge across Grants creek on the old Mocksville road be rebuilt at once.

COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF HEALTH. Dr. J. J. Summeren reported as fol lows : "In reporting to you for the month of October, I have nothing new to sav in regard to the poor house or jail. The remain in statu quo. 1 he improvements suggested a month ago are still in the womb of time, but I still hope that your honorable body will soon see your way clear to make the improvements asked for. There has been no sickness among the prisoners of the jail, and though there are a goodly number of sick per sons at the poor house, as usual, and though now and then one has died, yet wehave cause to be glad that the death rate has not been greater. Considering the fact that only the diseased, the crippled, the halt and lame, and the aged constitute the number whom the county supports there, and the fact also that the means of treatment are not so good as they ought to be, yet under all the circumstances I cannot see how we are to do better without the improve ments brought to your mind in my last report. . . I will state for the information of the Board that so far as the city of Salisbury is concerned, we have great cause for rejoicing in the good health of the town. There has been no white person interred in our graveyards since the 7th of August, and only two or three colored persons." REPORT OF FINANCES. The Committee on Finance, consist ing of : W. L. Kluttz and C. F. Baker, "appointed to audit the books of v the Treasurer of Rowan county, respect fully submit the following, which is substantiated by proper vouehers and bank books of Davis & Wiley : To county fund on harfd July 31,1385... $2964.45 To cash collected siuce July 31,1885... 684.80 Cr ;.. $364ft.25 By poor vouchers . . . .$247.91 44 county 44 ......1963.78 To anit. in Treas. and on hand Oct. 31 1885 1437.56 $3649.25 COL. SUMNER RESIGNS. Col. Thos. J. Sumner, Chairman of the Board, tendered the following: "Gentlemen: I herewith tender my resignation as County Commissioner, and request its acceptance. I regret the necessity that induces this action, but I am advised to relieve myself of every posssble cause of mental exertion or excitement, j In thus severing my connection with the Board, permit me to return my sincere thanks for the courtesy and consideration uniformly extended to me as its Chairman, and to say further more that I carry with me the mDst pleasant recollections of our official in tercourse, and the best wishes for the individual members of the Board." j REGRETS. The resignation was accepted by the Board to take effect on the first Mon day in December next. The Board collectively and individually expressed great regret in feeling obliged to do so. The general expression was to the ef fect that Mr. Sumner liad made an able, faithful and devoted Commis sioner and Chairman, and that it would be difficult to till his place with so efficient a man. THE JUSTICES TO MEET. The Justices of the Peace of Rowan county are notified to meet at the Court-house in Salisbury, on Monday December 7th, 1885, for the purpose of electing a County Commissioner to fill the unexpired term of T. J. Sumner, resigned. Raising Wheat The Salisbury Watchman says : Capt. Fagg, of Asheville, (says the Country Homegj of that city) is preparing some land to make a heavy yield of wheat next year, and challenges any farmer in Bun combe county to make more on one acre than he will. Wish the Capt. had ex tended his challenge as far down the slope as Rowan. There are some far mers in this county who are hard to beat on wheat, notably, J. M. Harrison, S. C. McLaughlin, Capt, J. R. Crawford, Wm. Lipe, J. 8. McCubbins, S. R. Harrison, and several others. We hope some one of them will aceept Capt. Face's banter ana snow him contestant." We take the that Rowan is a worthy liberty of extending the challenge soi as to include Rowan and Catawba both noted for their wheat production. Now for the contest. Three acres to be cultivated. Asheville Citizen. Do you hear that, farmers of Rowan ? Now let us tee what we shall see. We hope the gentlemen named above, all of whom are public spiriteffTlmbitious, and business men, will let Buncombe know that Rowan can hold her JUad with the proudest of her sister counties. u i iwesw Young Men's Meeting. The Young Men's Prayer Meeting, convenes at the Presbyterian Session room, every Wednesday evening, at 7 o'clock. A good library of Books and pa pers is open for an hour after services, free to all. All young men are cordially invited. J. D. McNeely, Prost, A. M. Goodman, Sect'y. Confederate Pensions. I am directed by the State Board to say, as a number of applicants for pensions have failed to furnish the additional tes timony required of them through circular letters mailed to each several weeks ago from this department, that unless this testimony is furnished the Board on or before the 15th day of November next, their claims for a pension will not be con sidered the present fiscal year. The Board is desirous that the appro- nation ($30,000) should be aimortionwi fore the close of the fiscal vear. Novem ber 30, 1885, and to this end these proofs are necessary. W. P. Roberts, Auditor.

Big Russell Nina, Reports from Montgomery county say that the Big Russell mine is yield ing satisfactory returns. Work is pro gressing favorably on Riggon Hill. MWI Mine. The water is in fork at the old Em mons shaft in Davidson county. The mine was un watered for the purpose of pushing the work of underground development Dr. Wilkins is a leading spirit in this work. Haile Mine. At the Haile mine, in South Caroli na, they are putting in the Blake sys tem throughout. It consists of the Blake crushers and rolls, and will dis place the other reducing machinery. The Haile has been a regular producer for some time. The Brewer and West mines are also doing fairly. They are in the same region and are the only mines of any prominence at work in South Carolina at present. Woo drun Creek. This placer deposit, in Montgomery county, has been yielding some pretty gold recently. The gold found is much worn by continual washing in the stream, and is very pretty. Some good work has been done there recently. North Carolina Coal Fields. Thanks are due Hon. Mont ford Mc Gehee, Commissioner of Agriculture, for a copy of Dr. H. M. Chances re port on the N. C. Coal Fields. Dr. Chance has made a careful and ex haustive report of these important fields. Reference will be made to the Report again as soon as its contents have been carefully gone over. Fisher Hill Mine. Supt. Wallace Nichols, of the Fisher Hill mines in Guilford county, is en couraged oyer the result of his devel opment at that place. They have re cently cut a very rich vein of brown an sulphide ore, some four feet thick. This vein has been developed for twenty-five feet by a tunnel driven upon it, and it holds well all the way. They are now driving a tunnel from the 100 foot level to cut this new lode at a greater depth. Coggins Mine. The B. T. Coggins mine in Mont gomery county, which was bought by some English gentlemen a short time since, is being very carefully worked. The returns from a chillian mill are quite good, and, are of such a reliable nature as to induce the owners to put in a plant of machinery of greater capacity. The mine has not been de veloped to any great depth, but the in dications, based upon the returns, which have been remunerative from the sur face, amply justify this step by the owners. The ore is an easy, free mill ing quartz, in slate formation. Bird Shooting. Mr. Editor: The recent popping of breech-loaders in and around my premises, forcibly re mind me of some well-timed and truthful remarks made by "Fogy Farmer" in the Watchman of the 22d ult. Sec. 28154 of the Code of N. Carolina makes it a misdemeanor for any one, be tween the 1st of April and the 15th of Oc tober to kill, shoo, 'rap or net any par tridges, quail, &c, under a penalty of a fine of $10.00. Again, in Sec. 2836 of the Code, it is made a misdemeanor for any one to take or destroy the eggs of par tridge s or quail, under a penalty of $50 fine, or 30 days imprisonment. Now it is evident that these Statutes were enacted ostensibly for the protec tion of the birds, and with a view to the increase of the same. Then, for what ultimate end were these statutes enacted? Was it that the owners of the lands where they abound, might, after their hard sum mer's work is over, have a little pleasant and profitable sport in shooting them? No. Was it that the sons of those far mers might have the pleasure of trapping and netting them, having an occasional bird pie for dinner, or perhaps taking to Salisbury to sell to the citizens thereof, thereby turning an honest penny? No. It was for none of these things, the own ers of the birds were not considered at all. There is, and always will be, a class of persons in, and around about all our towns and villages, generally drones, who do but little work for a livhhood, or per haps rich swells and upstarts, or else, it is a set of Northern ' men, foreigners, perfect strangers to us. This is the class of persons who claim the exclusive privilege of shooting and ''bagging" the entire crop of partridges year after year, and the actual owners get none at all. Now, this is evidently all wrong, for like "Fogy Farmer," I claim that the par tridges on my farm, are as exclusively mine, as are my "barn yard fowls." But, what are we to do ? How will it be reme died ? The lawyers will tell you to "post your land," and prosecute trespassers. Suppose you do post it, these bird shoot ers are not looking for posters. They never see them. You hear them poppiug away at one point, one moment; you start for tbem to warn them oft, bat they have changed places almost in a moment, they have followed in the wake of the dog who has followed the covey, and ten minutes later, you hear than pop pop, popping half a mile off in quite another quarter. You may run yourself down, and it is rarely you can ever catch up with them so as to either warm them off, or even find out who they are ! They ace crenerallv exoerts at the business of "han ging" and one or two raid of t hb sort , i cleans out the entire crop ofbirds and ' the owner gets none. Besides all thin. It is during the wheat-sowing season Itot j these t rangers invade our farms, and so ituuch shpotihg frightens the fanners stock, and is otherwise annoying to the farmer and his family. This whole thing k wrong, and if left to a vote of the people, I am sure that ninety-nine out ofevery hundred farmers wo uiu vote tor a law. inakin? it st mnde. eanor y one, at any time to shoot bird8.on. mother man's land without his permission. I for one enter my nnquali- tied protest against it, and hope the peo ple will unite to put the thing down. "Old Farm ee." Steele Sittings. Blackkek, Oct. 80. 1885. Dea Watchman : The click of the drill is heard throughout our hind. We are seeding the largest crop of wheat ever sown before. The long continued drought of last fall prevented the fanners from breaking their clover land ; buti this sea son it has yielded to the ploiv and is being put in fine condition for wheat. The corn crop is turning put well. Corn-shuckings, with pot pie and pump kin custards, are now in vogue. Can't you send us a few of your shad-bellied townsmen and let us swell 'em out ? Our old friends Mose and John Allen will do well to come up. The cotton crop is good and the yield greater than it has been in several years. But the farmers will get but liftle clear money when their guano debts and other expenses for raising the crop are taken out. Notwithstanding the present good yield, we have heard a great many farm ers say they cannot afford to raise it any longer at the present prices. The crop of weddings in Steele for the coming wedding season promises to be good. Your correspondent has I already been feasted atrtwo to begin with, with several more m prospect. Clod Kxockkr.

I tried a great many remedies, and had tbo attention of one of our host physicians, bat received bo permanent relief. The dis ease continued to grow worse and my limbs were greatly inflamed. I was finally induced to. try Swift's Specific, and 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. My general health has greatly improved, and I most cheerfully recommend. S. S. as being the best blood purifier that I have ever known. Mrs. M. S. Highsmith, Lulaton, Wayne Co.. Ga. May 19, 1885. HELPING CANCER.

Six bottles of the Swift's Specific has done me more cod 'than all the medicine I had taken.

Griffin, Ga., May 1, 1885. Swift's Specific is entirely vegetable, and seems to cure cancers byforcing out the impurities from the blood. MERCURIAL POISONING. For 25 years I have suffered from the Y fleet sot" Mercury and Iodide of. Potassium. I was salivated in a most fearful wav, and was given up to die. I have had no relief from anything I have taken for it, and have tried everything, until now, 1hat r have taken a course of Swift's ISpeciflc. It has entirely cured me. It also cured me of It also ci ied me of sciatic rheumatism, from which I have suffered for many long years. I am now- well of both, and there is no evidence of mercurial poisoning or rheumatism about me. O. F. Russ, With Howe Scale Co. Albany, N. Y., June 20, 18S5.
