PROGRESS OF SALISBURY SINCE THE WAR
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AND
THRIVING INSTITUTIONS.
Special Correspondence of the Commercial
Advertiser.
Salisbury, Rowan Co., N. C, Nov.
20. When toward the close of the war
Stonernan's troopers rode into this town
they found it a considerable place as
compared with many others they had
visited. The broad, well shaded streets
crossed each other at right angles, the
houses were roomy, comfortable look
ing abodes, standing in the midst of
lawns and gardens. The trim walks
bordered with prim rows of box, the
old-fashioned flowers and herb, the
roses and more modern plants that
were blooming in the sunny spots, all
told of a community thttt, until war
came upon it, had enjoyed life in a quiet
refined fashion. But Salisbury had
been unfortunate in that the confeder
ates military authorities had, without
saying " by your leave " toiler citizens,
located a prison camp in the suburbs.
Most of the people regretted the selec
tion, but were powerless to prevent it,
nOr had the many who felt charitable
disposed to the captives any opportu
nity to do them kindness. Of course,
all this was unknown to the raiders,
who, some for revenge, and others out
of pure wantonness, did considerable
damage at first, but after a few days
every disorder was repressed, and: the
troops quartered in the town were soon
on friendly terms with the citizens.
The Watchman, a weekly paper, the
representative of the mining interests
of this section, is published here. It
has entered upon its fifty-third year,
and for nearly all that time it has been
owned and edited by Mr. John Joseph
Bruner, who is now, I believe the
nestor of the North Carolina press.
Although nearing hisJLhree score and
ten years, Mr. Briiner is as regularly at
his office and attending to its affairs as
though he had just started in life. As
this veteran printer was apprenticed to
theirade when but S years old, he has
been setting type nearly sixty years.
When the raiders arrived they visited
his oiiice ( which was then one of the
best appointed printing houses in the
State) and soon had the press in pieces
and the type a high pile of "pi" in the
middle of-the floor. But there were
some printers among those calvarymen,
who, when thev found what had been
done, went to Mr. Bruner's assistance,
and, after they had the place in some
thing like order, they issued the natch
man and announced, under heavily
leaded headlines, that Stonetnan had
come town. Some of these" men be
came warmly attached to the veteran
editor and secured many good jobs
from headquarters for him, and when
they "went marching home again"
there was mutual regret at parting.
During its half century of existence
forty journals have atttempted to oc
cupy the Watchman 's field, but none
have succeeded. Mr. Thomas K. Bru
ner, a son of the old editor, has relieved
his father of most of the editorial work.
He was a small lad at the time, but he
has a vivid remembrance of Stonera.'in's
raid. Like many men educated mainly
in printing offices, the younger Bruner
has a large fund of practical knowledge.
The mineral wealth of this country
has for many years attracted to it scores
of scientists and hundreds of trained
mining specialists. The Watchman has
always chronicled their doings, and its
office has, been their favorite resort.
Brought up amid such surroundings
the younger Bruner early acquired a
taste ibr mineralogical studies and in
vestigations, and he is now a recogniz
ed authority on the precious ores, the
gems and the general mineralogy of
this state. He is one of that large and
yearly increasing number of southern
young men who are intelligently and
most industriously engaged in develop
ing the natural resources of their states,
or in converting the abounding raw
materials close at hand into all forms
of manufactured goods. Young men
of this "stamp are fast jcoming to the
front in industrial pursuits, and by
their examples aud successes are help
ing forward the progress of the new
south.
Salisbury's trade and industries.
Salisbury has always been a consid
erable trading point. Rowan county
soil is noted for productiveness. Its
farmers are among the fe in this
state who raise large hay crops aud
Uend their surplus in bales to market.
IA 1 Ml-'-J.T.l 1 Jl i M
Asueviiie s swtoies are suppiiea to ajarge
extent from here, although they might
be from the farms in a radius of five
miles from that beautiful city if the
agriculturists of that region so chose.
Wheat and all other cereals yield hand
somely, aud orchards and vineyards
flourish. Rowan farmers who under
stand and attend to their business are
generally in good circumstances, aneV
are profitable customers of the city
nierenanis. ine goia mines in this
and adjoining counties add much to the
business of this place. There is also
some manufacturing, but nothing to
what there mignt be, and undoubtedly
will'be before ;tong. But the great
factor in the town s trade is the Rich
mond and Danville railroad and its
tributary-the Western North Carolina,
which extends from here to the moun
tains and then divides into two branch
es, one pushing toward Knoxville,
Tennessee the other toward north
Georgia. The freight business of the
latter has assumed vast proportions
and is steadily increasing. The passen
ger traffic is also very much neavier j
than it wag two years ago. Many
tourists stop over here several days and i
leave considerable money behind them.
All these are contributions to the
growth of Salisbury.
There are two new railroads project
ed that, when constructed, will add
largely to the town's importance.
Both these are to come from the south
east, and one will open direct commu
nication with tide water at Smith ville
i which is at the mouth of the Cape
ear river,) and make this one of tne
chief central depots of distribution for
for the state. Such is not the un
reasonable belief of Salisbury's citizens.
CITY IMPROVEMENTS.
The people seem to be wide awake to
the necessity of improving their city.
They have Voted to put in public water,
and are discussing other modern appli
ances. They have gas lights in the
streets, too far apart, However, and the
gas is not as good as it might be. The
sidewalks in the business streets are
poorly paved. But despite these little
drawbacks, that will be remedied before
long, the plaee is going ahead, for when
progressive ideas once acquire headway
in a North Carolina town there is no
cessation of effort until all possible im
provements have been made. Formerly
the place lay on the west side of thV
track, of the Piedmont Air Line rail
road. Now there are streets and dwel
lings to the east of it, andthe sixteen
acres once enclosed by the stockade that
surrounded the union prisoners are now
covered with neat houses and gardens.
Between there and the national ceme
tery, a qliarty of a mile to the south, a
large new two-story building stands out
Conspicuously. It is the graded school
for colored pupils built at the town's
expense, and maintained by general
taxation. It stands there, a silent wit
ness to the tremendous changes that
time has wrought. The flag of the
union floats above the graves of more
than 12,000 dead soldiers in the ceme
tery, testifying to a nation's reverent
care for the ashes of its heroes, while
this great white school house is. in no
less the voluntary tribute of
those who were once its foes to the
supremacy of the nation and to the
perpetuity of the union.
RAIL ROAD ELECTION.
Facts for the People.
On Dec. 21st the citizens of Rowan
are to determine whether our county
shall subscribe $100,000 in londs run
ning forty years, to the South Atlantic
& Northwestern Railroad. In order that
our people may have a firm foundation
on which to base their opinions we sub
mit the following facts for their con
sideration. WHY WE NEED THE ROAD.
The people-of our county sire paying
at least $80,000 too much freight an
nually, a larger amount than all our
State and county taxes, because we
have no competing line. InjCharlotte,
because they have two lines over which
they can ship their cotton to New
York, they pay 40 cents a bale less
freight than we do. This fact is noto
rious and was proved in our court in
the Ross cases. Now Rowan ships a
bout 5,000 bales of cotton a year, on
which is paid $2,000 too much freight.
This amount would pay nearly half the
interest on the $100,000 of bonds, and
it is paid by those who raise the cotton,
because we have no competing line of
Railroad. A car load of wagons isship
ped from Cincinnati to Baltimore over
the Western R. R. through Salisbury
for $108 less than has to be paid if it
stops here, making each wagon cost
$4 more here than at Baltimore. This
excess is paid by the Rowan county far
mer because we have no competing line.
One firm in Salisbury pays $1300 more
freight a year for goods received in car
loads than it would pay if it was doing
business in Raleigh, and this excess is
paid by the Rowan county farmers be
cause we have no competing line. Lime
costs here $1.?0 a barrel, atotber places
no nearer the lime kiln it costs 45 cts.,
and this excessive freight is paid by the
Rowan county farmers because we have
no competing Hue. Hay has sold here
this fall at from 20 to 30 cents a hun
dred; and in Rockingham, only 00 miles
distant by the proposed line of Road,
it has been selling at from 90 to 100
cents a hundred, and yet if we ship hay to
them the Railroads take the entire dif
ference between the prices for freight.
Thus the Rowan county fanner loses
about 50 or 60 cents a hundred on his
hay because we have no competing line
of Railroad. We have given only a few
items. We pay too much freight on
every thing we send off and on every
thing we receive. Too much freight on
cotton, too much on tobacco, too much
on your grain, too much on hay, too
much on granite, too much on the food
we eat, too much on the coffee and tea
we drink, too much on the clothes we
wear, too much on the tools we work
with, too much on the coffins we bury
in, too much on the tombstones we set
up over the dead, because we have no
competing line of Road.
THIS ROAD.
The proposed road is to run from
Smitbviile, N. C. to Bristol, Teun.,
through Salisbury, thus giving us an
other line to the sea and also to the
great Northwest.
NO ROAD NO BONDS.
Not a bond will be issued, not one
cent of tax levied, until the RailroatHs
built, equipped, and running regularly
for the carriage of freight and passen
gers from Smith ville to Salisbury, a dis
tance of about 240 miles, when one
half the bonds are to be delivered, and
the other half when the Road is built
and regularly running to the Davie
line. Unless the Roaais completed to
Salisbury within two years the sub
scription is to be void. These are the
terms upon which the subscription is
asked, so that the county runs no risk
of loss.
NO CONVICTS.
No convicts are to be employed in
building this road.
WHAT WILL THE TAX BE.
We begin our statement on this sub
ject by printing the following certifi
cate from Mr. Woodson, of the net
amount of the taxes for last year after
various losses and expense in collection
were deducted.
I certify that the State tax last year
was 25 cents on the hundred dollars,
the county tax was 20 cenjsand the
school tax 20 cents, anHhat the net
amount yielded by property and polls
from the above tales was $28,G15 57.
Horatio N. Woodson, Clerk.
Board County Commissioners.
.Now it is easy to see, that if a tax of
do cents on the hundred dollars yielded
$28,615 a tax of ten cents would yield
$4404. But when we need the money
the Railroad will have 26 miles of road
valued at $10,000 a mile to be taxed.
This $200,000 will yield to the county
after the Sheriff's fees are deducted
$617.50 more than enough to pay the
balance of interest on the the bonds,
besides paying to the State aud to the
school fund a net tax of $494 each.
Thus the interest on our bonds would
cost us when the tax is first laid not
more than 10" cents on the hundred dol
lars, and a less amount as our taxable
property increases in value. Indeed at
the present rate of taxation there is
often a surplus in the County Treasury
of $2,000 or $3,000 which could le
used to reduce the R. R. tax.
STOCK GIVEN FOR THE BONDS.
The $100,000 voted to the Road
is not a gift, for it we are to receive
$100,000 in stock in the Road. With
honest management this stock ought
soon to be worth par and to yield good
dividends. Stocks in the N. C. R. R.
is now worth above par and its divi
dends 6 per cent or more. If there
should be a struggle bet wen capitalists
for control of the Road, and such a
struggle must come sooner or later,
stock may be worth more than par.
MONEY BEFORE WE ARE TAXED.
All the work below Salisbury and
most of the gradingirt our county
aliove Salisbury Wjouid have to be com
pleted beforeaixmd would be issued.
The grading of these 20 miles of Road
would cost sit $5,000 a mile, $130,000.
The cros3 ties would cost more than
$16,000. The timber and stone for
bridges would cost a large amount.
Thus between $150,000 and 200,000
would be paid to the farmers and labor
ers of Rowan county before we would
have to pay a cent of tax.
MISSING OPPORTUNITIES.
When the road from Columbia to
Charlotte was built it would have been
built to Salisbury instead of Charlotte if
Rowan had extended proper assistance.
The same was the case with the Air
Line Road from Atlanta to Charlotte.
With these roads Salisbury would have
been what Charlotte is, and land in
Rowan would have been worth as much
as it is in Mecklenburg, and our people
would have enjoyed as low freight sis
they do. We think our fathers made
a great blunder in not getting those
roads. But in those cases the Ixmds
would have been issued before the roads
were built and there was some risk of
the road being left incomplete. In
this case the road is to be built first,
and there is no risk, if the road is not
finished from the sea fcp Salisbury in
two years we pay nothing. Here is our
opportunity.
When you have read this post it up
in some public place, then Ixf sure and
go and register before election day,
use your influence with others in f.avor
of the road, and don't fail to vote for
the Road on Tuesday Dec. 21st.

The Jmilecserement of races conse
quent upon emancipation has produced
consequences to lie expected from the
motives which- influenced the liberators
and the expectations inspired in the
liberated. The fundamental idea with
the first was that the negro, the man
and brother, unrighteously restrained,
be it said from his creation, fromihe
rights of freedom, when invested with
that inestimable gift, became at once
the social and political equal of the
white man. Not unnaturally the ne
gro was prompt to accept the admis
sion, and made haste to avail himself
of all the privileges it brought with it.
The most profitable use of these
privileges was, of course, , political recog
nition advancement. This the party
in power was more than ready to grant.
It was greedy to demonstrate the sin
cerity of its convictions of race equali
ty: earnest to prove its devotion to the
cause of an oppressed people; eager to
proffer compensation for long denied
rights; and not at all slow to humiliate
the oppressors by putting in power
over them those so long cowering un-
f tier the lash or slavery.
1 Time enough has passed for the
1 i 1 k '11
popular temper to recover its equino
rium, time enough to examine wheth
er our institutions should bej sub
jected to this discordant clash of
race ambition ; time enough to question
whether the white race is called upon
to abdicate its right and claim to di
rect the affairs of the country; time
enough to ask whether the grave and
momentous interests of the country
shall be imperilled by the demands of
sentimentalism. Fcr it is nothing
more than sentimentalism, sickly or
depraved, that demands the sudden and
immediate elevation of a people buried
since the time that history had a re
cord, in the depths of slavery and bar
barism, to the heights and rights at
tained by the white race after centuries
of struggle with tyranny, learning by
experience the cost and value of liberty;
and groping their way with painful
step from the lowest depths of intel
lectual darkness to the brightest efful
gence of mental light.
Docs it stand to reason that those
blessings attained with so much cost,
should be carelessly shared with those
who have had freedom thrust upon
them without effort of their own, and
whose enlightenment is only the dim
reflection of mental rush-light?
Now we take the position unequivo
cally, that this is the white man's
country, and this, the white man's gov
ernment; the one subdued by the
white mans valor and energy; the
other created by the white man's cour
age, intelligence and spirit of liberty.
The infusion of the negro element
into the field of politics, and into rights
of official rewards, is a gross interpola
tion of offensive incongruities. It is
enough for the negro that he has been
liberated from slavery; that he hits
been invested with the full rights of
citizenship; that he can acquire, hold
and enjoy property, the fruits of his
own labor; that he can acquire educa
tion; and that he has the opportunity
intelligently to exercise the rights and
duties of citizenship. But he has yet
acquired no right to be called as a
rule, over us.
We admit the remarkable de
velopment made by individuals of
African blood. Acquirements in learn
ing, in oratory, in thrift are somewhat
startling. But these do not after the
case, and in fact are onlv insolated audi
exceptional, and do not iusitfy break
ing down the barrier which instinct, if
nothing more, erects against the intru
sion of other races and other people
into the administration of public af
fairs. The American mind is fixed a-
gain.st commingling with other blood;
it resents the intrusion of other races.
Right under the eye of the govern
ment at Washington, are Chinese ofii
cials as astute, as intellectual, as cul
tivated, as adroit and skillful diplo

and their race proscribed- lhe Lin
nese had the intelligence and the meth
od to create a civilization, peculiar
to itself, but the wonder of man
kind. They lived to themselves in
close seclusion and buit up a power
which has stood strong and unchanged
for thousands of years. The negroes
with a continent to themselves through
the same period, make no farther sul-
vance in civilization than the aies that
shared the forests with them, and
only became known to civilization as
they were dragged out from the depths
of the interior to supply the material
for the slave markets of the world.
Yet iu Washington, where the Chi
nese is ostracised, the negro is deified
almost, elevated to office, and made
arbiter of social and official destin
We call for a chanire. We roust .see'
the sole clainrof the white man recog
nized. We cannot tolerate the idea of
negro superiors over needy whites. We
abhor the idea that negro omcial
should lord it over white females. We
want and must have an official list un-
contaminated with the touch of anoth
er race. Wc want a white man s gov
eminent, Nationsil and State.
If there were no other reason, the
one of moral unfitness would prevent
itself. Of this there are illustrations
abundant enough to be furnished. As.
an abstract question of parties, in their
fhnie.fi we would be brousrht to dis-f
criminate but lightly between the two,
if both recognized the equal right of
the negro to a share in the offices.
We have the kindliest feeling for
the negro. We would encourage and
aid him in his moral, mental and ma
terial advantage in every possible way.
We rejoice in his liberation from slav
ery, and rejoice in the proper use of his
freedom.
But for all this, do not make Jiim
ralergover us, either in great' things or
in small. Asherille Citizen.
Old Age.
Dean Bradley, successor of Stanley
in the deanery of Westminster, tells an
anecdote of him as he nearcd his six
tieth year. He was traveling in Ger
many on a Rhine steamer, ana getting
acquainted with a boy, (he loved chil
dren,) the boy asked nim his age,
which being answered, he said, ''Why,
all your life is over." "No," said the
Dean, "the best is yet to come."
"You must be on the wrong side of
sixty," said one acquaintance to anoth
er. "No," be replied, "I am on the
right side." Old age is cheerless enough
to one kicking faithin God and Christ;
but bright with diyinest hopes when
one has for his portion the Christ,
whom to know with the Father is
eternal life. .-Let every man mourn as
old' age creeps upon him if he be with
out faith in the holy One. Let every
man rejoice sts age comes upon him if
he trusts in him who sa;d "Because I
live, ye shall live." Life here is only
the state of infancy.
A plain London lighterman, only a
navigator on the Thames, was in the
Abbey, standing before the monument
of John Wesley, and as he talked with
the Dean, knowing he had been to Pal
estine, said, " It must have Wen beau
tiful to have walked where the Saviour

I have used Ayer's Sarsapnrilla, In my

walked' " Yes," and witiv saintly
look he said, " beautiful to walk in the
stelis of t he Saviour." Stanley's words,
as he spoke of death, are so beautiful
that we quote them ; " There the tori
finds itself on the mountain ridge over
looking the unknown future; our com
nany before is gone, the kinsfolk and
friends of many years are passed over
the dark river, and we are left alone
with God. We know not in the shad
ow of the night who it is that touches
tfsf we feel only that the everlasting
arms are closing ns in; the twilight of
the morning breaks, we are bid to de
part in peace,-fbr by a strength not
our own we have pra vailed, and the
path is made clear before os."
Great and many are the compensa

Congress Should Remember.
That tobaccojjn its various forms,
paid into the treasury of the United
State . during the fiscal year ending oa
June 30, 1886, $27,907,362. It ought
to strike the average Congressman that
an industry which puts that amount
of money into the treasury deserves
encouragement and protection. Yet
hist winter Congress persistently refused
the request of the tobacco growers of
New England, Pennsylvania and Wis
consin for the poor boon of placing in
creased tariff on the Sumatran product
The companies which grow the latter
article are said to have declared divi
dends amounting to 144 per cent.,
while our home growers are compelled
to work along with the smallest possi
ble margin of profits. Lancaster ( Pa. I
