Several communications halve been received recently without the writers name attached. They have gone the way of all such. Others will appear next week which were properly sigud. There will be a basket picnijc at the former residence of Jas. A. Birkhead, 7 miles west of Salisbury, onJLhq Sherrill ford road, October Sth. The Neighbors nd friends are invited to join ih for the occasion. A beautiful location for-anew cemetery may be found on Shaver's Hill, beyond the depot. There is-another suitable spot, level and already , grown in- oaks, juat beyond Mr. J, S. MeCubbin's rest dence in the western part of the town. Mr. D. L.

The school has more than fifty papilsrAud the new principal is growing in popularity. It was stated ' isA IAS ' - -3 sometime agro that a fence would be put around the graded I school grounds. The young shade treep, recently planted, are suffering in conse quence of the delay in fencing the grounds. The Railroad Company will build a new cotton platform this side of the new depot, and provide other facilties for the convenient handling of cotton this season. The buyers, Messrs Ross, Quinn, Knox and others are ready for the trade. Advertising is a business matter. Look it square in the face and put your money where it will do the most good. We do not hesitate to say that the Watchman offers the best medium to those who wish to reach the people of Rowan and sur rounding counties. There will be communion and installa tion services at St. Matthews church, this county, on the second Sunday in October serviceson Sunday before. Rev. H. A. Trexler, pastor.

Those who trade at his store always go away pleased and always come back when they want anything more in his line. Honest goods at fair figures will fetch 'em every time. lnere was no particularly- bad conduct here on circus day, considering that there were nearly four thousand people here. One negro was severely cut on the side of his head by a lick from a "sling shot" iu the hands of" another of his race. Some of the hangers oue of the strictly moral canvass exhibition, practiced some pick pocket tricks, but with no great profit. Rev. Harry Cowan, of the little Baptist church baptised some twenty new con verts on last Sunday. Thfe may be con sidered as the result of thej. meetings fol lowing the earthquake. The negro is peculiarly sensitive to anything myste rious in nature. His superstitious imagin ings are vivid and go a long way on an occasion like this. Miss Linda Rumple returns this week from her summering iu Watauga's lovely heights. Her many friends will be pleased to learn that she returns with the full purpose of remaining in Salisbury, and will, of course, indentify herself with the musical interests of the town. She had intended spending the winter in Boston but has finally yielded to the overturns of friends to remain here. The weekly prayer meeting of the Presbyterian congregation, which has been held here ou Thursday evenings for along number of years, has been changed, by order of the session, to Wednesday evening. This is in accordance with Presbyterian usage all over the country, and for some local reasons. Mrs. Hattie Lane, wife of Rev. W. H. Bobbitt, D.D., died early this niornfng at her home in this town. She was a native of Duplin county, and was reared iu Wil mington. She was an earnest, active christian worker, up to the time when her health failed. The funeral will take place from the Methodist church tomor row, Friday, at 10 or 11 o'clock. The Gas Company have decided to reduce.,the price of gas on and after the 1st day of October, to $3.50 and $4 a thousand feet, instead of $1.50 and $5 as heretofore. The reduction is made to induee more consumers, and it is hoped that it will accomplish this, since gas is the safest and most satisfactory light. -J. T. Wyatt writes the Watchman as follows : "Our settlement keeps improve ing in the wayof buildings. W. J. Friek & Co. are erecting a large build iig in which they expect to put more plan ing machinery. R. M. File has bought a set of mill stones and is building a grist mill which will be run in conjunction with his saw mill. H. Ludwick is build ing a new residence, and there are other neW buildings going up near us." This speaks well for theJ'granite settlement.' The Watchman is always glad to chron icle the progressive movements and en terprise of the people of this and adjoiu- ing counties. The Ogden Comedy Co., played to a thin house on Saturday night. There was considerable fun iu the comedies,? but it was towards the last rather too profane to be enjoyed by the better portion of the audience. This profanity would probably have been left out had not the first utterance been greeted by applause from the rear of the hall. It was in bad taste and hurt the reputation of the company here. Artemus Ward, who may be considered fair authority on a subject of this kind, says : "I never stain my pages with even mild profanity. In the first place it is wicked, and in the second it is not funny." Burned Out. Mrs. Lucy Ludwick, an aged widow lady living in Litaker township, lost her dwelling house with all its contents, last Sunday afternoon, while she and her daughter, the only occupants of the place, were visiting a sick neighbor. Her property eonsfeted of comfortable feat her beds, bed clothing, chairj, tables, table ware, cooking vessels, wearing apparel, and the little etceteras which accumulate in the homes of old people. All were consumed everything except the cloth ing they had on an irreparable loss to them. It is not known how the fire originated, though it is believed it was accidental. Found Dead. Samuel Linn, an aged citizen living near Chma Grove, dropped dead on last Tuesday evening, it is supposed, of heart disease. He liv'ed alone in a large house, and was at his evening meal when the message came. He fell to the floor, his nea1 resting on the chair he had occupied, and his hand still, retained the spoon with Whieh he had been feeding himself. He was found in this condition and Coroner Atwell sent for, but no inquest was held, as there was nq cause of suspi cion. "A Heroine in Sags." That's a bad fix for a heroine to be in. Heroines are often found in rags, and it sometimes requires adversity to bring the genuine and stronger nature of a charac ter to the surface. But this heroine will develope herself to the delight of the peo ple of Salisbury, at Meroney's Hall on next Monday night. She is a pretty little creature and brim full of soul music, and a nature as sweet and pathetic as the pure melody which floats from her lips. For originality of plot, novelty, fine acting and beautiful scenery "The Heroine In Rags" is par excellence. Even the Globe Democrat, which is "stuck up" on its theatrical criticisms, and is consid ered an ornelfi svs- a cyciorama ot beautitul action, sen sational and startling situations. One of the few plays that rank among the suc cesses of the season." To which the New Orlcajus Picayune sagely adds: "A play based on a moral lesson, that should be taught to all." Attempted Swindle of the Banks. Ou last Tuesday, Mr. I. H. Foust, cashier 1st National Bank here, received the following telegram from Greensboro: "Is vour e.hftck Xo. fif.Tfi nn National Park Bank, dated May 11th. $2,000 favor ot A. b. 5arnes, genuine. Answ er quick. Nkil Ellington, Cashier Nat'l Bank. To which Mr. Foust replied : " It is not. Check raised from $2. Arrest party if suspicious." Mr. Ellington replied: " Young man calling himself A. S. Barnes presented check. If you wish him arrested tele graph police." Barnes is the same man who got ;nto rouble here-last spring with the livery stables and was published for his crook edness at the time. Mr. Foust thinks that he bought $2 check for the purpose of practicing fraud. He had noted the fact that this check had never been col- rlected. The indifference of the Bank officials at Greensboro is unparalleled. This man goes into their Bank, deliberately tries to swindle them, on a forged check, to the amount of $l.y9S, and they coollv tele- 1 graphed to the Salisbury Bank, "If you wish him arrested telegraph police." Had the $2,000 been paid the Greensboro Bank would have been the loser, not the Salisbury Bank. Why they should hesi tate in a case like this is inexplicable. The young scoundrel will be emboldened by this experience to persevere in his course of crime. He was instil probability allowed to retain the check and is at liberty to presenHit again and again until perhaps he may realize on it. All the way through, it seems a remarkable piece of negligence on the part of the Greensboro Bank officers. Even these telegrams of inquiry were sent here "collect." Republicans to Take a Hand. "Just so." The Executive Committee of the old line Republicans have issued a call for a mass meeting of the Republi can voters of Rowan county, to meet in Salisbury on the 2d of October proximo. The object, as expressed in the call is "to take into consideration the best means to relieve the people of the hard times which we believe have been brought about by Democratic rule; also to consid er how to get rid of the present onerous system of county government, &c." For pure unadulterated "gall"' this an nouncement is without precedent. The Democratic party responsible for hard times, indeed! Perhaps the too frequent showers of last spring, the rather dry weather recently, the cyclones in the west and the earthquake in the south are all chargeable to the Democratic party and to our present system of county gov ernment. Perhaps this is so. But no man or set. of men, no matter who they are, or what their professed and confessed political principles may be, are able to corrupt the solid Democracy of old Rowan or to swerve them one iota from the truth, fairness and justice of the par ty they have so longand faithfully served. They are being beset on all sides by schemes political and hypocritical all in the vain" endeavor. to lead them astray. Stand to your posts; vote th straight Democratic ticket and victory is ours. Enemies are springing up all around us, and some from our ranks, are weakly turned, like so many cranks, by every passing side issue. But these are few. To the work ! Organize and fight for principles; the principles which have brought us from the horrors of the past and landed us high above radical and 4iegro domination. Stick to the old road. The republican path lead to the bad politically, and these new cut roads lead nowhere and are only designed to defeat Democracy. Stick to the old road it leads to victory. LIST OfIlETTEES.

This i the name of a large company, organized to develop 40.000 acres of land recently purchased in Burke county. The purchase -includes the Piedmont Springs. They propose to fence in this immense tract and to stock it with sheep and fine cattle. They have njany vei - of various valu able minerals on the property, and these are to be prospected. Indeed, work has already begun, and a shaft is being sunk and levels run on an auriferous lode which promises well. They will also build saw mills and will saw and otherwise prepare their hard woods for the market. HOOVER HILL. The Hoover Hill Mines in Randolph county are keeping their 20-stamp mill actively engaged in reducing their ores. Mr. Frecheville is still in Loudon and Mr. Hart is Superintendent. The output last month was 111 ounces of gold, and the work for this month indicates an in crease. The Marion Bullion Co's property is located in McDowell, and not in Mitchell as has been erroneously stated by several N. C. papers. The error was with the printer of the Baltimore Manufacturer's Record, who made Col. B. S: Pardee say Mitchell for McDowell. The N. C. papers in making up notices from that letter fell into the mistake. Col. Dem ming, the general manager passed through ou last Tuesday on his way to the mines. The affairs of the Company are in good condition. , 81 Methodist Church News. A committee on Prohibition, appointed at the meeting of the Salisbury District Conference, recently held at Mt. Pleasant, presented the following which passed, and is published in the Watchman as church news, and by request : Wherefore Resolved, 1st. That whatever can be done to abolish the evils of the Liquor Traffic ought to be done. 2nd. That Ave are encouraged by, and rejoice in the very effective-agencies that are now being employed in the Temper ance cause, and especially wc refer with pleasure to the W. C. T. II. and bid the women God-Speed everywhere in their good work, and we commend the action of those brethren who have helped them, and we will ever consider it a part of our duty to open the way for them us oppor tunity may off'er. 3rd. It is contrary to the teaching of God's word and of the Discipline of our Ghurch to support the Liquor Traffic by letting property for its manufacture or sale, or otherwise to support it. 4th. It is wrong in principle and false in policy to compromise witn wrong doing, and we believe that Prohibition by law is essential to the best success in temperance work, and we pledge our selves to promote the same by all proper means within our reach. County Government in Korth Carolina Danville (Va.) Register, Dem. ' Independent Charles R. Jones, of Char lotte. ir treadinur on danjrerous ground when he takes a step against the present system of county government in North Carolina. Under the old system the counties were governed by a board of commissioners elected by the people. In this way the control of affairs in the black counties fell into the hands of igno rant negroes and designing whites who well nigh bankrupted Northampton, Hal ifax and other counties in the Second District. All sorts of extravagancies and cheats . were perpetrated upon the tax payer, until as a matter of necessity the legislature passed an act of relief. This provides for the appointment of justices of the peace by the legislature fbr the several counties, and from these a Board of commissioners is selected. In this way the Republicans have lost control of the alHicted counties and they all have good government. At first blush, it would seem an act of injustice to the people of the counties, to take out of their hands the power of electing magistrates and there has always been some complaint from the western (democratic) counties against the system. Mr. Jones, agitator, who is trying in all sorts of ways to stir up strife, is now appealing to the prejudices of the western people and injuring the claims of the people of the east. It is a popular theme to talk about the "legislature's usurping the prerogative of the people" and such rot, for the people do not stop to consider that manv other officers, even that of United States Senator, are elected by the Legislature and not directly by the people. The people of the West sutler no wrong, for the Legislature, of course, appoints such justices as the best people recommend, wnereas tne sysiem is necessity in those counties where the blacks have a majority. Mr. Jones knows as well as anybody else how neces sary is the system to the good govern ment of the eastern counties and he shows a very bad spirit indeed to try and make capital for himself at the expense ot thousands of unfortunate people who chance to be controlled by a negro ma jority. Miss Davis in Richmond. Ex-President Davis's daughter Winnie is visiting Richmond, Va. A dispatch from that city says: "SheVas elected an honorary member of R. E. Lee Camp, and was invested with a badge of membership by Gov. Lee who made an eloquent and feeling speech. Rev. Dr. William Jones responded in behalf oCMiss Davis in acknowledgement of the compliment. Miss Davis was pre sented to the veterans personally, and shook hands with each one cordially. This is the first time Miss Davis has been in Richmoud since she was taken away an infant at the time of the evacuation of the city in April, 1886." God "bless the daughter, and God bless the aged father! XOTICE TO DRUGGISTS AND STORE KEEPERS.
