Th girls that nre wanted arc wise (rrly
That know what to do and to say ;
That drive with a snii'e or a soft ward
The wrath of the household away.
The girls that are wanted are girls of sense,
Whom fashion can never deceive;
W ho can follow whatever is pretty,
And dare what is silly to leave.
The girls that arc wanted arc careful girls,
JW'ho count what a thing will cost;
Who use with a prudent, generous hand,.
But see that nothing is lost.
The girls that are wanted are girls with heart:
They are wanted for mothers and wives :
Wanted to-cradle in loving arms.
The strongest and frailest of lives.
The clever, the witty, the brilliant girl
They arc very few. understand.;
But oh ! for the wise loving home girls,
There's a constant ami steady demand.

Cotton Factories.
The first cotton factories in this part
of the State were bnilt a little earlier
than the Charlotte Obiter re r supposes
when it puts it at "thirty odd years
ago." There was a cotton factory in
Concord in 1840 to '45. It fras near
the same time that a cotton faclorv
was built here, at Moeksville, at
Greensboro and at Lexington. They all
sprang tip, as we had occasion t say
some months ago, under the inspira
tion a State effort about that time to
induce our people to go into the busi
ness of manufacturing. The late Hon.
Chas. Fisher of this place, (not Col.
C. F. Fisher, but his father.) was a
I leading man in that movement, doing
more than any other one man in this
section to give it success. It is believed
that the failure of most of these facto
ries was due to the lack of transporta
tion facilities, sustaining capital, wan
ing confidence, and to inexperienced
operatives. Whatever the causes which
hindered their success it may. not now
be very easy to determine, as those
who were actively concerned in them
have passed off the stage, leaving no
available records from which the exact
facts mav be derived.
a
The factory in S disbury, was built
iu 1839-!40, or about that time, and af
ter running a number of years was sold
at public sale for the purpose of raising
funds to pay off original debt, and was
bought in by the late Maxwell Cham
bers at a sum considerably below first
cost. He introduced a good deal, of
new machinery and ran it successfully
for several years. He had ample capi
tal and business qualifications of a
superior order, all of which were made

ing forward to the approaching end of
liis life, he donated the property to a
young kinsman who, as it appeared af
terwards, was deficient in those essen
tials, and it soon went down. If it
ever yielded a fair per cent, on the in
vestment it was while it was owned and
operated by Mr. Chambers.
The Law of Libel.
Mr. Editor: Yonr quotation of
Jan. 2t), from the Statesville Landmark,
arraigns the Merchants Protective Un
ion before a triumvirate composed of
Constitution, Homestead and Exemp
tion Law, and "The Injured.'1 By
"The injured," I suppose Lawyer means
those who do trot pay their debts,,
whose names are therefore published
in a pamphlet and furnished to all
business men. The last member of
this Ottrt is incompetent. You might
as well suppose that a representation
of lie venue officers would repeal the
Revenue law as to suppose that thes j who
do not pay their debts, can, with im
partial eye, behold any movement that
tends to bring them to justice, but
Lawyer says, "The" injured will take
the remedy in their own hands." If
that means they will by force avenge
themselves, they must be as spunky as
he Anarchists. Should snch a move
ment as that be organized, every man
will then be seen under his proper col
ors. Now we see the greatest financial
cheats sitting in the amen corner on
Sunday, and during the week enjoying
the confidence of a deceived public.
(But I suppose sifter all they will hnrdr
ly get "fighting mad)''' Yes, we see
Kaiikrupts wearing gold studs and
high-heeled boots, sportiiig fancy canes
and gold watch chains, enjoying all the
pleasure of the social and business
circles. Eh! Those men bankrupts? ;
Yes, but, but what? But they lazy
around, live high and control thousands
of dollars worth of property in many
instance much more than those whom
they have paid off with bankrupt no
tices, to say nothing of the fact that
the money was hard earned by the
families that loaned it and spent in
luxuriance and indolence by these fancy j
bankrupts. But the other two mem
bers of the court, Constitution, Home-
stead and Exemption Law, by one nod j
of their massive heads sanction the !
whole matter and now let Bankrupts, j
Homestead and Exemption (well 1
need a word just here) and all the
other people sit in judgment on the
question, mid say who arethe injured
one. Nay, let the matter be weighed
in the balances of justice and the relig
ion which a great many of these gen
tlemen proess and see what the verdict
will be.
Constitution and Law are the crea
tures of an acquiescent public, sanction
ed and enforced by the good for the
restraint of the wicked and suppression
of evil. This is govern mentv Moral
philosophers sav the public has Divine
right to control its parts for the great
est good of the whole, and laws which
tend to this end have their origin in
Divine authority and are just in them
selves. Laws which do nA tend to
this end are without divine authority
and are unjust in themselves. ) These
should be abolished, but, if the legisla
tive department will not abolish them,
then the injured have a right to devise
means for their own protection. But
who are the injured? Those whose
goods and money have beert obtained
by others upon confidence principles,
and who find themselves duped, while
their debtors bask in the sunshine of a
handsome homestead, or skip from
place to place seeking new victims to
their artful rascality. These are the
injured directly; indirectly, it is the en
tire commonwealth. The farmer with
$100.00 to loan demands a mortgage.
A lawyer charges 2 to to investi
gate the title. The probate and regis
ter fee must be paid. The poor man
who borrows pays all this. A merch
ant sells goods on time. He is bound
to put on a per cent, to cover all losses
by homesteaders and skippers. The
honest have this per cent, to pay; the
homestejsders and skippers are encour
aged, and their ranks increase. " Every
thinking man knows the public is
injured indirectly.
I think this country is now groan
ing for a secies of terrorism which
will render the condition of the debtor
"intolerable and his life burdensome."
until 'he pays his debt. By some means
the public would like to amend the
homestead ami exemption provisions,
and with them their legitimate offspring,
the mortgage system, and until this is
done, or something else for the protec
tion of the merchant. I do slncerelv
hope they will furnish each other with
such information as will enable them
to identify every homesteader and
skipper.
1 have the greatest sympathy for the
poor man. who. for some good reason,
is unable to make full payment; but,
in harmouv with public sentiment, I
deprecate the skipper and the indolent
knave, smiling in nominal bankruptcy
behind a handsome homestead. 1 sub
mit the following without fear of con
tradiction: Every honest, hardwork
ing man, who is unable to make full
payment one year, can get indulgence
or a recommendation nntil the next.
It would be a good thing for this
country if all this class were not only
on the merchants' black list; but, if
they had " the mark of the beast in
their forehead"' and also on their backs,
as vyell as in their hearts.

"Old Salisbury."
Col. CR. Jones of the Charlotte
Obserrer made a' flying visit to Salis
bury last week, and published in his
paper of Saturday, quite a sketch of
the townu-Jrom which we extract the
following!
Within the last few years the tobac
co interest has grown quite extensively.
There are three tobacco warehouses
here, which last year sold 2,000,000 lbs
of tobaceoHf about an average of 01
cents per pound. This scattered 8190,
000 among the farmers of this imme
diate section. Besides this, there are
five tobacco factories in operation,
whivh emjloy not less than 400 hands,
with a pay-roll at about $1,000 per
week, for seven months in the year,
amounting to not less than $23,000.
This money goes into the avenues of
trade, ramifying iu every direction, and
pulsating in life and vitality every
where. It must be remembered that
this is a grain and grass growing sec
tion, and that a large amount of cot
ton is cultivated, and that the tobacco
interest is mainly snrplns.
Several hundred houses have been
erected in the town within the last year
or two, and the priceof building lots
has advanced in some instances more
than a hundred per cent. This rise in
tne increase in the price of real estate,
and in the increased building interest
has been superinduced by the increased I
commercial and business activity, which
is apparent tft.aU observers, and the
excellent free school privileges which
the town enjoys a large and successful
graded school being in operation.
The railroad shops of the Western
N, C. railroad have beien located here
for 2 years, and a hundred or more
hands arc employed in that institution.
The wage workers of Salisbury receive
not less than $2,000 per week (in the
tobacco works and the railroad shops,)
all of which runs hact into the coffers
and tills of Salisbury's business men.
In addition to these, and Meroney
Bros, foundry and machine shops, J.
D. Small & Bros, machine shops, Mr.
P. H. Thompson, of Tyro, N. U., will
shortly erect a foundry and machine
shops here, which it p expected will
supply the trade in agricultural imple
ments, tobacco boxes, and general
foundry and machine, work, for this
whole section efthe eountrjv
The people here are somewhat ngi
tated over the proposed erection of
the new county of " Lillington,''
which would take a considerable slice
of the western portion of the territory
from Rowan county. We are told that
not a single man in Salisbury is in
favor of the "divide."
Some months ago a Building and
Loan Association was organized in
Salisbury, which has added a great deal
to the prosperity of the place. About
300 shares were subscribed at the first
semi-annual meeting, a dividend of
eleven per cent, wsis declared to the
stockholders. About ($25,000) twenty
five thousand dollars has been loaned
out to the members, and about twenty
houses have been erected, which could
not have been built without some such
agency.
Another thing which had added much
to the prosperity of'the place within
the last yearpr two is the establishment
of a National Bank, of which Major
b. W. Cole is president and Mr. 1. H.
Foust as cashier. The bank was orgsi
i i i i i i
organ
of on A
ized with a paid up capital or only
$50,000, but after it started in business
it became a depository for the surplus
money in the surrounding country, and
at the close of business, on the 28th of
December last, an official statement
showed that it had in loans and dis
counts $137,240.05. Many progressive
farmers and others, hunted up old
stockings where the accumulations and
savings of years had been stored, and
put their money in the bank, where it
at once began to pulsate in the life-giving
activity of commerce and trade. It
is a fact that the bank last year furnish
ed all the money which was paid for
every bale of cotton bought on the
streets of Salisbury, and the money to
buy 2,000,000 pounds of tobacco. There
are men who curse capitalists and
money lenders as "blasted bond hold
ers,'' who little think of ihe benefits
which are to be gained from the friend
ly and cordial co-operation between
labor and capital.
A movement was inaugurated about
a week ago in Salisbury which is des
tined to do much good. It was the
introductory proceedings for the forma
tion of the "Salisbury Improvement
Association." A number of the citizens
of the town assembled in the Mayor's
office and adopted the following "Con
stitution," which will give Observer
readers the lest idea of what is pro
posed :
A contract ha recentlv Wen made
with Moffet, Hodgkius & Clark, of
Watertown, New lork, by the town
commissioners for the erectio n of water
works, by which the New York com
pany are authorized and empowered, to
build, construct, maintain, opeiate and
own water works iu the said town of
Salisbury, to supply the said town and
its inhabitants with pure and whole
some water, suitable for domestic, san
itary and fire purposes; to lay down
pipes and water mains for the purpose
of conveying water through the streets,
avenues and alleys of said town; to
acquire and hold as by law authorized
any and all real estate, casements and
water rights necessary to that end and
purpose, to use within the present and
future limits of said town any and all
streets, alleys, avenues, bridges, beds of
rivers and such public grounds, as are
now, or may be hereafter laid out, while
laying and repairing such water works;
to receive, take, store, purify, conduct
and distribute water through said town:
to erect and maintain settling basins,
filtering gallericA, reservoirs, water
towers, pump houses and all other nec
essary or expedieiit for the proper con
ducting and carrying on ot such works;
to cross any stream in said town for
the purpose of laying or extending
their pipes, conduits or aqueducts as
may be necessary for the proper distri-
bution of water throughout said town,
so as to afford the most adequate supply
for domestic use, and the greatest pro
tection against fire.

Taylorsville, III., Feb. 15. A singu
lar case of disappointment occurred iu
this city Saturday night. The wedding
of Miss Mary Daily, eldest daughter of
W. W. Daily, and Mr. William Part-
low was announced to take place at the
would-be bride s parents. At an early
hour in the evening a large number of
invited guests assembled, taking with
them various presents, and a sumptuous
repast was spread. The prospective
bride was attired in her wedding outfit,
and all was in readiness, including the
minister who was to perform the cere
mony. After waiting some time after
the appointed hour, and the grooai fail
ing to put in an appearance, a messen
ger was sent to ascertain the cause of
the delay, and it was found that he had
boarded the west-bound evening train
for parts unknown. The disappointed
bride held up well under her" misfortune,
although it may be very fotunate, for
it is far better that the porspec
tive groom took a notion to desert her
befo: e than after marriage. 1 he father
of the girrthinks it was a lucky escape
for his daughter.
The pension bill vetoed by the Presi

PILLS for over thirty years. We
find them an excellent medicine in fevers,
eruptive diseases, aud all bilious troubles,
and seldom call a physician. They arc
almost the only pills used in our neighbor
hood, and never fail to give pcrfert
satisfaction. Redmond C. Comly, How

utmost towards such maintenance let
the body of the people suffer as they
may. All these appropriations for cost
ly vessels of war, naval armament, coast
defence, fcc., are wholly unnecessary.
They are worse than useless; they ap
proach criminality. There is no danger
of war in this country. There is no
probability that we will have a foreign
war on our hands for years to cone.
Why, then, appropriations of vast nms
for fortifications thnt will be of no use,
and why this rush into the defence
business as if we were preparing for ac
tive warel'are ? Let the democrats stand
firm against the wild delirium of extrav
agance that is now rampant, and let ev
ery exertion continue to be made in be
half of a reduction of tariff
taxation and a conseonent liirhtemnir
of the burdens the people now nave to

Sawdust on the Farm.
From the Rural Messenger.. '
The value of sawdust on the farm,
to act as an absorbent of the liquid ele-
ments of manure exposed to moisture,
and supply dry bedding and walks a
bout stables and barns, does not vet ap
pear to be sufficiently appreciated. The
best elements of all manure is nitrogen.
But as commonly managed, a large
part of this most important item is
recklessly allowed to run to waste in
the water that runs away from the ara
bles, or that is evaporated after a rain
fall. Farmers generally make no at
tempt to ret ain it or prevent this seri
ous loss.
The free use of sawdust in and about
the stables and manure yard is the one
cheap and simple remedy for this waste.
There is no better absorbent material
within our reach, or one that makes a
cleaner, dryer bed for any animal.
It is not that it possesses any
manorial value of consequence
within itself, that makes saw
dust so useful to the fanner: but be
cause it is so good as an absorbent, and
makes such nice dry beds and walks.
With this there need never be a bit of
mud about a stable yarL
Sawdust is an article which wef it as
much as you please, and it never will
become mud. In some parts of the
country it may be had for asking. It
is- light, easily handled and is always
cleanly. When one part in a stable
gets foul there is no tliffit t lty in sep
arating it from the rest. After use
once, it may be exposed to tbe sun and
have the wafer evaporated from it with-
out losing the valuable salts that have
been absorbed, and it can be used over
and over again for thesame .purpose.
But this article, according to Piof.
Rodgers in "Scientific Agriculture,"
does possess manorial value. Besides
its value as an absorbent, its gradual
j decomposition adds two-or three per
cent, of nitrogen to the soil, and it is
beneficial to tiff clay by rendering
i them more looe and open. It is abo
useful to stop washes, and mend roads
and compost with muck. Farmers
would do well to employ it quite large
ly one way or other, about the farm.
