The railroad question i s beginning to
be pretty generally talked throughout
the coonty, and wherever it is under
stood, the people are in fuver of itr
The one important thing for the voter
to do, is to think for himself and vote
his own seutiments and not be ruled by
some neighbor who may or may not
be right in hi opinion oxv this subject.
We wish to put before the reader a
very short statement of what the At
lantic and South westernRailroad Com
pany propose to do. They propose to
build a railroad from Smithville harbor
in North Carolina, through a count rv
for the most part
without
railroad
facilities, including the counties of
Brunswick. Anson, Montgomery, Stan
ly,Kowan, Davie, Yadkin, Wilkes and
Ashe in North Carolina, and on -to
Bristol, Tenn., wliere connections will
be made North, Northwest, West,
Southwest and South. Tbey propose
that it shall be a trunk line and do a
large business. They predicate this
upon the fact that they will have the"
shortest, (by 200 miles) line to the sea
board; that they will have a large bu
siness from the coal and iron deposits
now being developed in the western
part of this State and in Tenn. and
Ky., just across our border, and from
the vast forests of untouched timber in
that region, and the further fact that
all this freight will be hauled down
grade to the seaboard; that their line
will offer the best rates on commercial
freights, dry goods, groceries &c, which
will come bv water to Smithville and
be distributed along the line at a small
er rate than can be done by any other
line. It is on these facts that the Com
pany base their determination to build
the road. They see that the chance
for doing an immense business is be
yond question.
They do not ask for one cent from
anybody to help them build the road.
They have the money and they propose
to build. But they do -want the co
operation and sympathy of the people
along the line of their roadi and they
simply ask, after they have spent hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, in build
ing through Rowan county and the
other counties in the State, that these
counties take a hundred thousand dol
lars worth of Stock, liemember that
this is not asked, for until after the
road is built and the cars running
through the couniy. That is the ques
tion for the people toulecide. Will the
people take some Btocjf, as a county, in
a road that has every hope of becoming
a paving institution if built? If it is
not built, of course the county cannot
take stock in a road which has not
been built. They do not ask thejeo
ple to be taxed to build the road. They
will build it without any aid from the
people, using their own money for
the purpose.
Ihe advantages that Rowan will
gain, will be greater than that of any
'other county. At Salisbury two
roads will cross. Each will bid for the
business and the result will be that
freights will be lower here than at an v
11 tL 11 1L. Oii . mi , -fl
other point in ' the State.- This wiidrepblican party cannot nominate any
build up wholesale and retail business
and will enable the merchants to sell
to the people of this county at a cheaper
rate than they have ever been able to
buy. But the advantages are too nu
merous to be rehearsed here now. Ex
plain this matter to your neighbors,
have them register and vote to buy
some stock, in case this road is built.
Possibilities.
Three or four ygars ago a strawberry
farmer somewhere east of Raleigh was
reported as having sold a ten acre field
of strawberries at $10,000 one thous
and dollars per acre, the purchaser
gathering and shipping the berries.
Mr. A. S. Averv, of Gainesville,
Oa., made a profit of $1,000 on a two
acre crop of strawberries. The soil and
climate of North Caroth Carolina is as
goodor better, for this crop than that
of Florida.
At Albany, Ga.?v a jug factory is
making its owner rich. He has orders
ahead for a year's work.
We have as good clay and other ma
terial for this kind of work as can be
fou id elsewhere. Have we got the man
to work it up?
Bucket and chair factories are pay
ing good dividends elsewhere. cfWe
have the best timber and in larger
variety than any other State, and some
day the right man Avill come upon the

Uther parts of the country have crown
rich by fosteriug railroads. Rowan
has another chance at a good enter
prise which she can get almost for
nothing. Wi It she vote ior it ?
Deia ocratic Success.
The newspapers have begun to spec
ulate on tlfe chances of Democratic
success ki 1888, and among the promi
nent northern papers which exert a
wide influence generally, on political
and other subjects, may be mentioned
the New York Herald, which gives itsJ
opinion in Dehaii of the re-election of
JJr. Cleveland. It says "If the Demo
tcn.ia party cannot re-elect Mr. Cleve-
uim n. cannot eieci auy man to the
Presidency in 1888;" and thereupon
proceeds to review, to some extent, the
administration of the present incum
bent. It declares that Mr. Cleveland
has, by his wise and conservative
iOurs, won the respect and confidpnc.
of the country,, not merely for himself
out jpr tne democratic party. We
believe this is true, and although many
nave oeen disappointed in respect to
ne omces wnicn snouid have been
tilled oy democrats, and hare, found
fault with Mr, Cleveland for not driv

Sad Death of Daniel H. Workman.
A letter from Jos. A. Creech, Esq.,
Raleigh, N. C, 2 -the 27th instant,
encloses a slip cut from some paper
giving an acconnt of the suicide of
Dan'l. H. Workman, somewhere in
Alabama, Nov. 1S86. There is nothing
on the slip by which we are able to de
termine the locality in Alabama, nor
the exact date. The following letter
found in Mr. Workman's room after
his death relates pretty much all of in
terest, viz:
UI am a burden to myself and friends.
Noone knows my trouble but myself. I
can't stand it any longer, so it is best
that I should die. L take morphine
and die. Put me in my coffin as you
find me, and lay me away. I believe
in God and Jesus Christ. I leave my
self in their hands. Farewell to all. '
Nov. "80. D. H. Workman."
There were two young men of this
name came to Salisbury from Davidson
county, we think, sometime about the
years 1834X33, and left in 1836 for
the f West: D. H. Workman clerked
for the late John Murphy, and William,
it is believed, was employed by the late
Michael Brown. Any relation or kins
man of these men, who may wish to
know more concerning Dr. H. Work
man, who was a respectable, highly
esteemed man in the place where he
lived and died, are advised to address
Mr. J. A. Creech, Raleigh, N. C.
An Open Letter
addressed to the farmer citizens of
Catawba county on the subject of the
Chattel Mortgage system, by Mr. H. A.
Forney, proposes a public meeting to
be held in the town of Newton on the
17th of Dec, instant, of the purpose of
coining at a better understanding of
the Chattel Mortgage system of credit,
and devise some plan by which more
exact justice may be secured to all per
sons in any way concerned on the
subject. "
Mr. Forney has Jbcen studying the
operat ion of the system and reached the
conclusion that the law is very op
pressive. Takes Sides for the Anarchists
The Knights of Labor Of districts 24
and 57, Chicago, in joint meeting as
sembled, to the number of 400, passed
resolutions denouncing the verdict of
the Court which condemned the anarch
ists and sentenced them to the gallows.
They demand a new trial, alleging un
fairness and injustice in the conviction.
The anarchists were murderers.
It seems to be already settled that
Mr. Blaine is to be the republican can
didate for the Presidency in 1888. The
ouier man. oiaine stands nead and
shoulders above any other man in their
ranks. They cannot go around him,
neither can they go over him. He is
uthar," as Judge Clood of cherished
memory would say, and he is going to
stay thai: And what is worse for them
still, they can't elect him! Mr. Cleve
land, who will probably he his com
petitor in the race, has not only lost
nothing by being President, but he has
convinced thousands of republicans
who unwillingly voted for Blaine in
1B8-4, that a Democratic administration
is not a thing to be dreaded; but on
the contrary is the trutest and best
exponent of the principles of a truly
republican government.
Judge Clark, who has been riding
the sixth district, this fall, in answer to
a Reporter for the Goldsboro Messen
ger, bears very favorable testimony in
respect to the lands and capabilities for
development of the country through
wnicn ne nas passed. He savs "much
of the very best land in the State lies
in the triangle of which Wilmington,
Goldsboro and Morehead are corners."
"It is a vast territory" "the grainary
and Egypt of North Carolina." He
sa)-s "the prejudice in some sections of
the State in respect to the unhealthi
ness of the territory referral to is un
founded; that the people he has seen
in the court rooms and other gather
ings, will compare well with any popu
lation." Ad vice is the cheapest commoditv nn
the market, everybody being ready to
Mve n anu rew wmmg take it. Presi
dent Cleveland finds more of it thrust
into his face and under his nose, perhaps,
than any other man in the country,
and et he not only survives it all, but
nourishes by following his own head,
which, by the way, it is said to be a
little bully but very clear and strong.

"Ear the Watchman.
County Ofaeers.
Edit-ors : You r correspon dent
Messrs.
is one ot the dissatisfied
Rowan, one who wants a
Democrats of
change. Bv
your permission I will explain through
your columns my dissatisfaction with our
county system of managing its offices,
leavingyou and the other newspaper
watchmen to sound the alarm in Estate and
national affairs.
For one I am heartily tired of the life
tenure system by which county officers
hold on "like death to a dead nigger."
Some of the grounds of my opposition to
the system ate :
1. It breeds dissension in the party.
These county officers hold on until at
length they come to think the offices be
long to them by right, and as soon as a
Democratic convention fails to nominate
them they put up a pitiful face, say
" unfair," and bolt. They thus not only
produce dissension, but are liable by this
course to defeat the party. I say jnothing
of the intense bitterness such apostasy
always engenders.
2. The life tenure is radically opposed
to the spirit of our form of government;
and to be specific, if the offices are valua
ble it is not fair that one set of men
should derive all the benefit from them.
Change the officers frequently; let others
have a chance to make a better living
than is possible following the little speck
eled bull.
3. Long terms iu office by one set give
rise to charges (sometimes true, but often
false) of dictating, packing conventions,
thwarting the will of the people &c,
charges which, whether true or false, are
believed by many, :rud calculated to
shake the faith of the rank and li!c of the
party iu the honesty of its leaders. Let
us have done with talk of count-house
rings.
I have nothing whatever against the
present incumbents either personally,
officially or politically; they arc conceded
to be efficient and obliging officers. But
they are no more obliging and efficient
than scores of others would be in their
places; and to me the conduct of
these old officers in holding on from term
to term is indescribably seltish. Grateful
for what of honor and profit their offices
have afforded them in past vears, they
should cheerfully and as a political duty
step aside and give place to their equals
at the next election. If it was ever good
policy and the fair thing to keep men
in office for life it is not so now.
Permit me to say in conclusion that
I never was and never expect to bo a
candidate for any office.
Rotation.
The above is simple truth, and has
doubtl
ess been a
part
of
every mtelii-
gent voters thoughts for vears.
The
present holders ot the county offices
must say yea, yea, to all that appears
above. iNiOv is a good time to talk the
matter over. Let our correspondents in
the county speak out. If any of the
present encumbents of the offices allud
ed to desire to stale, when, in all proba
bility, they will allow their tennsjof office
to expire, the columns of the Watch
man are open to them. No harm can
come of a discussion now on this subject
and the people have ample time to think
it over before another election time
comes around.

Sv eaSw.
The irrounds for
me contest oi rpeaser uariise s seat in
the Fiftieth Congress of the United States
have been prepared and were signed last
night by George II. H. Thobe, the con
testant. The allegations are numerous
and it requires forty-live pages of legal
cap paper to recite "them all. The peti
tion starts cut by alleging that there
were cast for Mr. Thobe 1,000 legal votes
in. the sixth Congressional district ol
Kentucky, which by omissions, mistakes
or fraud and collusion of election officers
of various procints and voting placeK and
county canvassing boards, weienot coun
ted and returned for Mr. Thobe. It is
charged that the poll books and the re
turns of Trimble county were all in vio
lation of the law and we're opened within
less than three days after said election.
That he vote as returned was 376 for
Carlisle and 3 for Thobe, and lie objected
to the county being counted. That the
ballot boxes of Trimble county w;ej in
the custody of the County Clerk ofnid
county, were exposed and liable to be
tampered with by said Clerk or by any
evil disposed person. Objection was made
to Grant and Gallatine counties, in which
all sorts of frauds are alleged. In the
couuty of Corrall, which was returned as
being 425 to 275 in favor of Mr. Carlisle,
irregularities are alleged. It is claimed
that in manj of- the precints throughout
the district all of the election officers
were Democrats, which is in direct viola
tion of the law. In the county of Ken
ton, Mr. Carlisle's old home, a number of
irregularities arc set forth. A copy of
the petition was yiven to Mr. Carlisle
last night; also a copy of the notice of

Washington, Nov. 29, 1SS6.
This is one of the busiest weeks of the
year in Washington. Congress will be
here in one week, and everybody must be
ready for it from the President to the
boarding-house keeper. The President's
message is receiving its last course of
condensation and revision. Cabiuet offi
cers are performing similar work on their
annual reports, and their Assistant of the
First, Second, Third and Fourth degrees,
with several hundred Bureau Cheife,
Comptrollers, Auditors and officers too
numerous to mention, are arranging their
figures and plodding Over hang tables of
statistics.

progress, and says Congress will not have
to wait on him for money bills. During
the week he has had in consolation, the
heads of different Bureaus and Govern
ment establishments, with reaard to the
needs of their respective departments
the next year. Among these were P
Baird of the National Museum, Siuifh
nian and Fish Commission; Sjuperintend-j
ent inorne ot the Coasfr Survey ; Dr.
Godding of the Government Insane Asy
lum; Col. Wilson of public buildings and
grounds and otliers.
The improved condition of the Govern
mentcrvice under Democratic Adminis
tration has been mentioned repeatedly,
hut new instances of reform are continu
ally making themselves felt, which de
serve especial notice. The President
probably never made a happier stroke of
public policy than when he culled Mr.
Benedict here to e lublic Printer. In
the period of three months the notori
ously demoralized Govenment Printing
office has been put iu such order that
alMint one third more work is now bein
done with the same amount of money, and
the press room which three months ago
had 400 forms waiting for the press is now
clear, having "caught up."
Cheap Advertising,
"There are cheap newspapers and cheap
lawyers and doctors. People soon learn
to estimate a service by what it costs. If
newspapers would stop the abomnable
practice of promiscuous and gratuitous
" puffing " and make people pay a fair
price for advertising, they would com
mand more respect and make more mon
ey out of their investment. Newspapers
do enough gratuitous work for the public
at large, without being called on fo push
individuals and their private business
into prominence for sweet charity's sake. "
