Dr. Robert Beall, of Lenoir, spent a few days here this week. Warm days last week did not seem to injure the fish trade much. Soda fountains with "mineral water at tachments are in full blast here now. The few who have tried their luck fishing with hook And line invariably re turn disgusted, z Straw hats, which a week ago looked like crowding the season, are beginning to appear natural." Rain on Monday was very severe in BOinc places up the Western Road, caus ing a washout near Barnard's stand. Mr. W. Smithdeal is having a hand Home fence put around his residence on Main St. Every little helps, and the amount strewn around by the water works com pany isby no means insignificant. Mr. Robert Garrett, the Baltimore railroad magnate, passed through Salis bury, Sunday, on his way home from Hot Springs, N. C. In the absence of Dr. Rumple the Presbyterian congregation worshiped with the Methodist and other denomina tions last Sunday. Mr. P. H.

Reisner, of Hagerstown, Md.. icweler. now here, will open a store in this place next week, of which further notice will be given. Gapt. W. M. Wiley sailed on Tucsday last from New York to Lisbon, aboard steam ship "Chateau Scoville." He goes as correspondent of several American papers. On our first page to-day will be found a striking and instructive illustration of the comparative wortb of the various kinds of baking powders now in the market. Rev. A. K.

Summerell, Whitehead and Dor- sett, of Salisbury, aud Dr. C. A.

Smoking tobacco interest is looking up, Foard & Rice will be in full blast before the week is out, Messrs Beall & Co. we understand will begin manufacturing verv shortlv and it is probable that Messrs Totteu & Rees, w ill moye their factory here from Hickory. We understand that all trains will run from Paint Rock via Statesville to Char lotte after the first of Mav, instead of coming direct to Salisbury, and that a mixed train will run from here to States ville. Is this one of the results of the interest Salisbury has taken in the S. A. A N. W. R.R. Among the competing companies m the great National drill ut Washington, next month, is nine from North Carolina Governor's Guards, Goldsboro u Rifles, Fayettevillo Light Infantry, Maxton Rifles, Forsyth Rifles, High Point Guards, Granville Guards, Monroe Light Infantry, Hornet's Nest Rifles. A light shower of rain fell here Mon day morning, preceded by thunder. In me aiternoou tne clouds broke una a ocerewina ensued, luesclay morning was clear aud cold enough to require fire on the hearth. It was a breath from the storm which was prevailing in Ohio, on thesame d ay, 1 ascribed as the severest snow storm of the season.

A business man of this place made a "usuiess excursion in the couutry last week to hunt up delinquents on niort gages. The story he brings home is a sad one too sad to relate. It may be said however, that in his journey nearly every -rn crib he saw Was empty. Many of tne tarmcrs are poorly prepared to make another crop. Some are completely des titute and want W put out their children to work for their food and clothing ihoy are unable to pay debts and almost unable to live without assistance. Salisbury will make an effort to induce Mr. J. P. Caldwell of the Landmark to be gin the publication of a paper here,' in the event of his defeat for the Ifayorality of Statesville. The men who were selected by th Democratic convention to represent Sal isbury as Mayor and Aldermen are not politicians, whose sole object is to win from a political standpoint; hut who have the interest of the community at heart, their faith having been proven by their works. A bright future for Salisbury depends upon the action taken in her behalf within the next two years, and those who have no interest save gaining politicals acendency should be treated as enemies to her future weal. Vote for true and tried men. Remember, that the opposition to the old town board is purely political, and every vote cast for the opposition is sure ly against progress aud the interest of the i town and community. We believe, as the ! affairs of the town now stand, that there cannot be found nine men in the town who are as competent to onsumate what has already been entered into in the way oTeontracts for public improvements, etc., as the present Mayor and board of Alder man. A great deal is at stake and it should claim the serious- attention of every business and laboring man in Salisbury. Sanitary. The health of a town has much to do with its prosperity. We believe the mortuary list of Salisbury will compare favorably with any town in the . State; and that this is due to the sanitary regu lations heretofore required by the town authorities, aud generally, freely complied with by our citizens MINING DEPARTMENT. T. K.

The signature, " Salisbury Car penters," amounts nothing that should reflect in the least on the respectable men of that occupation here, for it is not be lieved they know anything about it. We add that the writer is not so secure in his disguise as he may suppose, and may yet find it an unpleasant business to send such missives through the post office. Apollo Club. A musical organization of Statesville, N. C, has secured the services of Prof. W. H. Neavc, of this place, for the Directorship of the Club. The engage ment dates from the 19th April. Prof. Neave will devote Saturday of each week to this engagement. Significant , merchant in this place, who deals in provisions, was heard to say, this week, that nearly all the country bacon bought at his house this year was bought from negroes. He sold to a gentleman in Con cord a very nice lot of hams made by a darkey of this county, an old plantation servant of the late John Lycrlv. We are not informed whether this old darkey patronizes the gu-mo business or not; but being of the "old issue" rt is probable that he docs not. Surplus Hands. Mr. Burlingame, who is erecting the water works in this place, has in his em ploy on that work a large number of negro men who belong to this localitv.

Put Up Staksp. We learn that in March last a lady and children, crossing one -of the creeks, in this county, came near being drowned by missing the causeway leading from the bridge, there being no posts or stakes or other marks indicating where, passengers should drive. The next day after this incident, a wagon ladened with tobacco missed the road at the same place; the wagon body floated off down stream and the, horses and-driver narrowly escaped drowning. The attention of the Bridge Commissioner is called to this matter aud it is hoped he will sec it righted. and figures arc given to the end that Salisbury's citizens may rightly under stand the nature of the contest before them. Keeping the idea of communica ting information squarely under our eyes we will attempt a short review of two administrations, upon the basis of their financial management principally. To begin, two years ago, when the Re publican administration came to Tender au account and surrender the books, we find the following state of affairs to have existed : Their treasury contained the trifling sum of $27.48 as their assets and their books showed liabilities as great' as the means to pay them was small. They had collected, illegally, $500 in taxes from the meat vendors of the town, the Morri son judgment to the amount of $325 was still unpaid, there was a debt of $1,100 hanging over the graded school building, and there were a number of smaller sums due here and there that aggregated quite au item. "A workman is known by his chips," uns the old saw, and by this rule let that administration be estimated. They who constituted it could certainly ask nothing fairer and assuredly could expect noth- ng less. Then, by this rule, the above result is Republicanism in town affairs, and, by the same rule, in order to be just all around, we will make our estimate of Democracy Two years ago the present administra tion took the $27.48 and shouldered the burthen of their debts, aud to-day their books render the following account They refunded the wrongful meat vendors tax, every dollar of the whole $500; paid tne .Morrison judgment in lull; toolc up the notes given to secure payment of the graded school debts; satisfied the smaller lepublican arrearage, and yet found enough revenue to accomplisn the im provements enumerated below. They built an addition to the graded school building at n cost of $J00; put down gas mains, and erected street lamps to the amount of $500: put $400 worth of macadam on the streets; built a station house that cost $325; expended $450 in hose and repairs on pre engines, and yet find a balance on hand sufficient funds to meet the first payment of our Water Works rental.5 Better than all. the town to-day does not owe a cent in the world, while all the taxes have not yet been collected. "A workman in known by his cAjjj;" examine the chips and choose your work man. Mr. Burjingame, the water works con tractor, looked at the chips and, because theMayor and Board were able to make such a prosperous showing with their workmanlike job, launched out and gave us a magnificicnt plant upon a simple promise to pay. How much water would we have gotten upon such a showing as the Republicans made? Not enough to alluviate a duck trough or fluidify a hen. Then, because of their splendid admin istration of pur affairs and because they are the nominees of our party, you are asked to support them at the polls. Executive Committee. N. B.

The subjoined extracts of letters pres ent the foundation on which public ex pectation rests in respect to the building of the above road. They are as satisfac tory as the business will at present admit of: New York, April 14, 1887. Mr. John A. Ramsay, Esq., C. E. Dear Sin: lour esteemed favor to hand.

TIIE STATE'S PROGRESS. But few of the Southern States have had equal advantages with North Caro lina in the way of judicious advertising. Exceptional advantages have been ac corded her. Hundreds of newspapers north of Mason's and Dixon's line have devoted columns to her praise. More than a hundred papers within her borders have directed their best energies in this direction. But a few years ago the State seat an illustrative exhibit of material resources to the Empire of Austria, which remained on exhibition at Vienna for months. This was the first step. The good results of this venture soon be gan, to be felt. Then came the exposi tions at Atlanta, Boston, Raleigh and New Orleans. The State was properly and handsomely displayed at each of these with broad,-coinprehensive illustra tive collections. These were active pro rrrnjsivn strilp; fiir rpswhitnr in their re- suits to the State. Under the influence cllinery of rtll kinds, also Ma- of these aggressive measures the State has started with new energy and with action as the rallying cry. To the De partment of Agriculture much credit is due. It has, for ten or more years, been sending to all nations reliable informa tion relative to her material and other resources. These have been scattered with a prodigal hand broadcast into the busy centres of the world in the shape of circulars, pamphlets, hand-books, special and general reports, maps, &c. i ne ag gregate of these. publications sums up several millions. One naturally sup noses that this wholesale advertising would have stocked the country and posted the reading public as to the char acter and value of the resources of the "Old North State." But not so. It has greatly stimulated inquiry, besides bringing many thousands of dollars and hundreds of people within her borders. Not only the Department of Agriculture, but editors and public men all over the State arc in constant receipt of letters from all parts of the Union, from Canada, Mexico, England, France and Germany, asking for information about the people, government, taxation, education and re luion; about ores ol gold, silver, copper, lead, ziuc aud iron; about coal, graphite, mica, corundum, kaolin, talc, serpentine, baryta, marls, peat and muck; about granite, gneiss, syenite, porphyry, soap stone, limestone, marble, sand stone and every other building stone about diamond, beryl, agate, zircon, gar net rnhv hiddenite. onimld. nannhire. . j , , , 1 I 7 I . -j , spinel and other gem stones; about &,c1" V OTUS. chinery for the treatment of GOLD, SILVER, COPPER and LEAD ORES W ' H f 5 i 11 m h&xi y $xlnch X X0 I M ( Mecklenbu''q,'on Work H .

Dear Watchman: It will be news to many of yoar readers that the grade of the magnetic iron ore in this vieiuity has been attested to be of the finest; and that the quantity of said mineral hereabouts is believed, by those acquainted with it, to be iuexhaustable. Years ago long before and during the war forges of limited capacity and works of small capital were.in proportion to size, successful. Bv accident a knowl edge of theiie ore beds reached the ear' of (tov. J. 1. Uoraon, ot Georgia, a mcmuer of the first Syndicate which opened the Birmingham boom. His .agent, Uol. 1) W. Sloan, of Atlanta, has been here for more than a week past, prospecting. He pronounces the magnetic ore to be of the best. Its quality, however, had long since been recorded by our State Oeol ogist. I do not doubt that this will soon be one of the main iron manufacturing sec tions of the United States. e. p. n. Smei ling or process.

The inquiries are coining from those who desire to become identified with the people and to grow up with the State. 1 he organization of companies to go into the lumber business: to mine for iron, the precious metals and for gems; the building of mills and factories; the roar of four or five hundred stamps in the gold mills of the State and the influx of an industnous, thrifty class ot immi grants, all point with unerring aim to the wisdom of the policy which dictated thb means of improving the industrial con dition of the people and aiding in the de velopment of the varied material re sources of the State.
