Kluttz of the firm of Kluttz a Rendleman has cone North in the interest of the firm. Rowan now has three new postoffices, as follows: Lipe, Lent, and Omega. Will fripnds at these offices mvor us wun a club? We are sending out again, many extra copies of the Watchman to the best peo- nle in this aud adjoining counties. Send in your subscriptions. The Dramatic season here promises to be a lively one, as several good companies have signified their intention to visit us during the fall and winter. The numerous wagons loaded with bay that are seen on the streets every day attests the fact that this is no mean hay market. J. B. Watson, the mat trass maker has onened a factory on the corner Of 4Cerr and Lee streets, at Earnhardt's old shop He is prepared to furnish the best in his line. A large per cent of the Drummers who come here are selling goods without license. A vigilant officer could make Home money by looking after delin quents. Osborn Davisof Davie county, is justly famed for the fine watermelons he brings to market. He had an exceptional load on the streets last Tuesday. Some one suggests that the liverv stables here should add to their splendid stock of buggies, a few nice carriages, in order to meet the demand for such ac com modations. Cannot the musical elementoi Salisbury give a Charleston Benefit Concert? It would be an easy way to raise another hundred dollars for the destitute in that stricken city. The location for the water stand pipe has not yet been settled upon; but will probably be erected on one of the four principal squares in the center of town in rear of the business houses. Life Insurance is a matter for every man's consideration. Reliable insurance at reasonable rates is offered through the Provident Saving Life Assurance Society. See advertisement in this paper. Salisbury has been made a free delivery office which means that all mail matter stamped with the ten cent special deliv ery stamp, will be sent to the address at once by special messenger. A gentleman in town this week from Lexington reports a prevalently of chills in that town, something almost hereto fore unheard of in that immediate section. It is generally believed that the presence of a few fish ponds near town is the cause of the trouble. Khittz's Chill Cure, a proprietary med icine having its origin here in Salisbury, has stood the test of efficiency -for over fifteen years and is still manufactured by Kluttz & Co., of this place, and sold by the leading drug houses all over the country. Some three hundred persons, white and black, attended .the baptising on the Town Creek on last Sunday evening, kev. J. O. Crosby of the Dixonville Bap tist church officiating, bapt ising about 32. This is an evidence of the prosperity and frowth of his congregation. Last Saturday was probably the open ing season for horse jockeying here, as a in the way of a start, exchanged taids. Everything, from the kind spoken f in the Arabian Nights Entertainment down to the ordinary marsh pony, not getting the kicking mule, is dealt in tt this market. The negro excursionists from Char lotte behaved very well until night, During the day they spent the time play ,Qg ball, running races with their hose tacks and parading the streets following brass band. The usual "festerbal" won Bh,i at night, and about breaking up just before their train started, they "alged in shooting their pistols. It is tad three were wounded during these r8- There were a number of shots Jd before they left, and as the train was ving the town other ibot were fired Rom u, 1 - r : J Personal Mention. Miss Caldwell's select school for young ladies and children opened with a large attendance on Wednesday. Mr. Jas. Ramsay got back from a several weeks trip through the South selling tobacco manufactured here, by Johnson & Ramsay. J. D. Gaskill, who has been indisposed for a week or more, went up to Connelly Spring first of the week. Connelly is a favorite resort for Salisbury people. Mr. Robt. L. Bruner, of Lancaster, South Carolina, called last Friday. He was tracing out a relationship, and found it . Annie Neave, the six year old daughter of Mayor Neave fell from a piazza on Sunday evening and was right badly hurt. Her injuries are not considered dangerous. Miss Sudie Murphy treated her friends to a progressive euchre party last Tues day evening. The first prizes were car ried off by Miss Mock and Mr. F. F. Smith; the "booby" prizes by Miss Sudie Murphy and Mr. Thos. McBee. The opposition to our regular Demo cratic nominees in this County, is not sufficiently formidable to make the can vass of this fall a very interesting one. But it is the duty of all good Democrats to hear the gentlemen whom they have selected to represent them, hence the importance of attending their speakings. It is getting to be a common thing to dcc a uau uuwu ui mure wiurtiiiH inmi i ... ... w i " n - "i tne country m town ot Saturdays pedfc anng oeei. oome ot it has the appear i tin it rt , 1 . ance of being verv fine ; but it is said that it is not as well butchered as if done by professional butchers. Consequently not so finely flavored. The many friends of David Barringer Esq., were glad to see him in town last Saturday although not pleasant to see him on crutches. He is now among the oldest and most respected citizens of Row an and it is hoped that he will very soon recover from his recent injuries, and be able to go in and out as formerly without the aid of crutches. On Tuesday the negroes turned out enmasse to greet the negro firemen from Charlotte. The latter came in the glory of a red uniform and a brass band. They spread over the town, and attitudenized on the corners just to show the common niggers of a town what city negroes look like. They had a regular good negro time. - Every afternoon the cars on the West ern road bring people here from every section of the country. North and South, who spend from five o'clock till night taking in Salisbury generally. The wide streets, splendid shade trees and the regu larity with which the town is laid out elicits favorable comment from all. The Federal Cemetery is a place of great interest to Northern people. M. S. Brown needs a new and larger store room. He has built up an immense trade in ready made clothing, shoes, hats and gentlemen's furnishings. He is just now opening the new fait and winter styles, and finds his house too small to properly display them. His purchases this year embrace the latest styles in all the goods he handles, and visitors will find many new and novel things in his store. . The principal part of Main street has been somewhat improved by digging down the high and uneven places mak ing the bed level. Now if it were mac-j adamised on top of the level plain, there would be nothing left to be desired. When the Yadkin railroad is completed there will be no excuse for anything less than streets paved throughout with Dunn's Mountain granite. Mr. W. C. Lindsay has returned from New York-where he baa been selecting the fall and winter goods for the firm of Meroney & Bro. He claims to have out done all former efforts in the way of ladies dress goods and trimmings. His good taste in such matters has given him a reputation among the ladies. They will flock in to see for themselves in a few days, when the bulk of the new goods will be ready for inspection. On the way to the baptising last Sun day one negro was heard to remark to another, as they passed : "Now look't dat nigger! wher yer gwine in dat persession ?" " I'se gwine ter de baptis'n ehile, come on en see 'em ?" "Who me? not much. I'se got my regular church ter go ter I got no time to be loafin' on de creek bank to see 'em wash earthquake fruit you go on honey." aaB The Mission Party. The ladies of the Presbyterian church are to be congratulated on the success of their mission party. The lawn was ap propriately lighted and the scene was gay and attractive. The attendance was very good and all seemed to enjoy the evening. The gross receipts amounted to $50. This is to follow Dr. Davis to his field of labor in China, and it is intended from time to time to repeat these par ties. The ladies have undertaken the work, in earnest, which is a guarantee that this place will do its full duty to the missionary and his people. Og-den's Comedy Company. The citizens of Salisbury are to enjoy a rare treat on Saturday night of this week. Gdgen presen ts three fine comedies in the performance as follows: "A Happy Path," "Sweet hearts" and - Bamboozling." These plays have attracted great attention in New York and elsewhere. The perform ances of the Ogden Co. have elicited high encomiums from the critic press. We are assured that the performance will be refined and most entertaining. The Lynchburg Virginian, of July 8th, '86, says; "Mr. and Mrs. Ogdeus Company 1 played to a large audience at the Opera house last night,' notwithstanding the warm weather and gave a most pleasant performance. Mr. Ogden is a finished actor and the ladles arc all pretty and talented. Sec advertisement in another column. f Items From Everywhere. Editors Watchman: Our thanks are hereby tendered to 4Sweet Gum Grub;' and others of vour correspondents for kind inquiries about us. Very bad health is our excuse for not writing sooner, and oftener. " The weather has been verv drv for someJ weeks past. Put very few turnip seed have been sown, and farmers have failed to get as much stubble land turned for wheat as they desired. A good plan will be to nrenare well. what little land they did get turned, fertilize it well, and sow wheat only on that and they will probably make as much as if a larger crop was sown. The remaining portion can be broken during tne winter and seeded to oats and clover in the Spring. On Saturday evening, the 18th, we had a nice shower of rain, which revived things considerably. Upon the whole, Franklin has produc ed a pretty fair crop of tobacco, which is now generally ripe, and the farmers are cutting and curing it as rapidly as possible. lne worms have been unusually bad this year and a good many crops look pretty ragged from their depradations. "Twas next to impossible to keep them down. Enpassctnt Thomas B. Fraley has just completed a splendid hew tobacco barn on his father's place on Statesville road. He has put in the most approved system of flues for curing. For the last year or two, the prices of tobacco have ruled so ruinously low, that farmers have no encouragement to raise it, and unless there is an improvement soon, many persons will be forced to i x . t . . a Dan (ion its cultivation ftirotrpt nor. it is thft mnat frnMtvinma nrnn "A " L the closest attention and nicest handling of any farm product. From the plant bed to the warehouse, it requires the ut most care and solicitude. We are aware that the prices of all products are governed largely, by supplv and demand, and yet it cannot be so in regard to the present shameful prices paid for leaf tobacco, or else, why are there not correspondingly low prices demanded for the Manufactured article ? r or some time past leaf tobacco has only been selling at from one to fifteen and twenty-five cents a pound, the bulk of it going at from one to three and five cents. In the town of Salisbury alone, there are no less than three warehouses, and four manufactories of plug tobacco, whilst at Winston, Durham, and other -places, there are a large number more. It does seem, that with all these faculties for the purchase and manufacture of the weed, better prices ought to be paid. The farmer sells his raw material for from one to four or five cents, and when "he buys a pound of plug tobacco, he must pav fiftv cents a pound for the most in ferior grade, and from that all the way up to one dollar or more for the fancy brands. This is evidently all wrong, and shows a screw loose somewhere. The truth is that merchant iuanufaet urers and traders, all have their rings and combinations, their bulls and bears, a species of free masonry amongst them, for their mutual protection and interests, aud they only pay just sucn prices as they please, and tnen sell as hign as they please. Whilst in the case of the farmer, there are none of these rings and combinations, but everyone for himself. and the manufacturers and traders against us all, andwe must sell for just such prices as they please to give us, aud thus it will continue to be, under the existing state of things, and unless the farmers and producers can develop some plan or system for their mutual protection, they will become poorer and poorer, and will remain "hewers of wood and drawers of water," for the manufacturers and mo nopolists, whilst the latter will continue to amass colossal fortunes, and live in luxury and splendor, on the hard earn ings of the farmer. Cotton is now opening pretty freely r and will soon require the attention of the pickers. A. L,. Hail s nne gin is in perfect order, and ready Xo gin any quantity that may be delivered there. There has been a very singular pheuo men connected with ore of Esq. W. R. Fraley 's carp ponds. He has two ponds on the same stream, one just below the other, the two being separated by strong dirt dam. LTnder each dam, there is a wooden trunk for drawing off the water. Up to the time of the late earth quake, these two ponds kept about equal ly full of water. Some davs subsequent to the earthquake, it was noticed that the water in the upper pond was gradually sinking, and' up to date, has fallen more than a foot, whilst the lower pond is unusually flush and full, and running over. There is no visible cause for this, and it is evidently caused by a seam or crack in the dam, produced by the violent shak ing of the earth On the morning after the earthquake this pond was discovered to be very muddy, A. L. Hail Esq. has recently met with another very serious misfortune in the death of one of his fine black match horses. He had driven him down to where his daughter lives, ten miles below Salisbury, on last Thursday, returning home the same evening. After passing through Salisbury, he discovered that somthing was wrong, but kept on slowly, until he got within half a mile of home. Here the horse gave out, and could take the vehicle no further. He managed with help, to get him home, however, and next morning he was dead. On cutting him open, it was found that he died from eating unground, red rust if oats, as his maw was stuck fill I of oles. aud grains of oats protruding. Grains of oats were also found sticking all about in his flesh. This should be a warning to all horse owners, not to feed oats of that kind, without grinding it. The horse was a noble animal and could not have been bought for less than two hundred dollars. The Man About the Country. DIED. Katie Mamie, infant daughter of Robt. L. and Mrs. Maggie V. Shaver, was born Aug. 19th, 1885, and died; Sept. 17th, 1886. Age 1 year and 29 days. She was a great sufferer, and lingered for nearly four months, but now the little one is at rest, Jesus has taken her to himself, and the fond parents are comforted in their bereavement, because "it is well with the ehild," NOTICE TO DRUGGISTS AND STORE KEEPERS. I guarantee Shriner's Indian Vermifuge to destroy and expel worms from the hu man body, where they exist, if used ac cording to directions. You are author ized to sell it upon the above conditions. David E. Foutz, Proprietor, Baltimore, MINING DEPARTMENT. - T. K. BRUXKB, RPITOR. The Reynolds Again. A visit to the Reynolds mine in Mont gomery county would impress the stu dent fresh from some ' school of mines" very unfavorably. He would see an old fashioned, one-horse, single runner Chil lian mill, turning with deliberate slow ness, in fact, making four evolutions in each minute. He would probably laugh outright, and "wonder where it came from," and of course, compare it with the mills of the gods, which are said to grind slowly. But this granite wheel as it turns in its bed, noonlv pulverizes the ore, but with a twisting motion bright en s the faces on the particles of gold and makes the affinitv with the " mr f which is poured in with the ore, a very sure and easv matter. There is no vio- ent agitation of the pulverized mass, but a constant even motion, which is favora ble to amalgamation. This mill goes only eight hours per day aud the miller has ample time to mount a cart and haul the ore from the mine to the mill, and to clean up in the evening. This shows the economy of the plan. With this out fit, the output last week of the Reynolds mine was 185 pennvweiirhts. That is profitable mining on a small scale. There is ore enough in the vein to supply ten chillian mills, and could ten mills be run with the economy which now character izes the management, it would not take long to acquire a fortune. GOLD HILL MINKS. The London Mining Journal announces that the Gold Hill Mining Company has made new arrangements for the manage ment of their property at Gold Hill. They have dispensed with the services of Capt. W. Nance and have appointed Mr. George Crampton, Jr. I. M. E., F. C. S., as general manager and superintendent. With him is to le associated an experien ced mining captain for underground work. Mr. Crampton combines many ac complishments; besides being a mechani cal engineer, he is an accomplished chemist and metallurgist. He has had considera ble experience in both gold and iron mining. He will reach the Gold Hill pro perty this week and will begin at once to push the work. They are just now in good bunches of ore, as was reported last week, so that the new superintendent will have the pleasure of finding everything in good shape on his arrival. He will do well to listen to the old miners, and not re buff them as has often been done. Some of the men who have been "raised Tn the mine" so to speak, can give much valua ble information, which has been general ly despised by "men of science" fresh from some distant field. The Gold Hill region is one requiring special study and is full of individuality, geologically speak ing. MADISON'S BARYTA MILL. iaugnerty liros. of Conn., have, near Warm Springs, in Madison county, a plant of machinery for reducing baryta and preparing it for market. They have taken advantage of the abundant water power in that section and use a turbine wheel to supply the power for crushing the material. The process of reduction is very simple; the material is quarried and traasported to the crusher where it is reduced to .sand and gravel size; theu it is treated to a sulphuric bath which clears it of all impurities, it is then given a water bath which prepares it for the burr stones. It is reduced in the mills to an impalpable powder and is then ready for shipment. Baryta is largely used in giving body to various preparations of paints, and to adulterate white lead. Its specific gravi ty is 4.3 to 4.7 and it consists of baryta 65.7, sulphuric acid 34.3. It is abundant in the Western part of North Carolina. Mr. White, the President of the present Crowell Mining Co., has gone down to the mine. A new prospect shaft is being sunk on a quartz lead on the property. Work has been begun on the Union property under the direction of Dr Kramens. The property, which consists of more than three hundred acres, is to be thoroughly prospected. The Watchman cabinet has been aug mented by the addition of twenty-five cut gems from North Carolina geA stones LIST OF LETTERS. List of letters remaining in post office at Salisbury, N.

The sea son has been bad for wheat all over our State, and many difficulties have attended the harvesting. Capt. Fagghas threshed this week the wheat raised on two acres, the lot assigned for the contest with our friends in Rowan aud Catawba who ac cepted the challenge last Fall, and seven ty-two bushels and one-half, good meas ure, was the result. This makes thirty- six bushels and one peck as the yield of one acre. Under all the circumstances t his was very excellent and sustains Capt. Fagg's reputation as a successful farmer. We invite the attention of our friends of the Watchman and the Press to this yield, and ask them to report for their respective counties." Asherille Citizen. Tne Watchman accepted the challenge of Buncombe last year, and had the sea son been propicious, there are farmers in Rowan who would have entered the con test with a fair chance of winning. The above will recall the matter to those who were interested at the time. We shall te glad to know what the returns are from the best crops in Rowan. Will our farmer friends give us the figures?
