Carolina' Watchman. TIICBSDAY KEPT, 39, 187. Prohibition in Tennessee t A most excitiug campaign has been fKing on in Tennessee on the question of adopting a constitutional amend ment prohibiting the manufacture and the sale of spirituous, malt and vinous liquors. Men and women have been actively canvassing for weeks, and the preachers have steaany niDoreu ui but the opposition have worked more quietly. The country press is generally opposed to the amendment, and poli ticians with lew exceptions have stood off. The election takes place to-day, Sept. 2Wh, and the result ww ue known before the next paper from this office reaches our subscribers. The re sult of the late electiou in Texas on the same subject will cast a shadow in Tennessee, and we shall not be sur prised if the amendment is lost. Lost Khill. Tennetsce. is again in a ferment, this time over the defeat of the friends of the proposed subscription of $500,000 to the railroad from Mem tn Bristol. The campaign was nn nf the most bitter ever known in TWtfurm ftountv. in which Nashville is located. The vote at Nashville stood, for subscription against it, 4,507. But country precincts over mmio hw mm'nrirv and defeated sub- SJSJSjpW - - -j it scription. Under the law of the btate a new election can De neio m ou and this is talked of. . II i.i ... uii Trouble in Texas. This morning's mail brings reports of trouble between the negroes ana wnues in Matagorda county, Texas, growing constable UUt tL o p k u-nt f urrnat a white man named Sunborn. The negroes collected in a mob for the purpose of killing Sanborn and his friends, but was met by the tariff ftml TMiase. A nirbt ensued of the nesrro leaders was killed Further trouble was expected and troops were ordered to suppress vio lence. Discharged ! A vounff man confined in jail at Wilmington on the charge of stealing, from July until last week, was dis charged" for lack of evidence to con vict. If he can obtain no redress by suing his accuser, his case is a hard one indeed. The State should not be a party to such oppressions. The Raleigh Neics has sifted about fifty of the newspapers of the State catching a grain from each as a means of ascertaining what they are talking about. It makes up quite an interest ing column in its issue of the 25th, tovhich it appends the following marks : So we have demolished the pile before us and given the gist of its coments. We trust the result will not prove altogether uninteresting. One gratifying feature ol the State press is the fact that it is doing very much more thinking tnau ever De fore. Time was when an expression oi opinion on any subject could scarcely ever be found in the weekly press. Non- all that is changed. There is improve-J ment all along the line in .North Caro lina journalisin,and some of our so-called country weeklies are among the strongest members of the State press. We will endeavor from time to time to take up these batches of papers and sift them, as in this instance, for the benefit of our readers. A - 1 jt L.1 -1 v. 1 1 flAltliAWa met at St. Louis, Mo., on the 26th. The number of strangers in the city on Tuesday was estimated at 50,000, and there were other large delegations yet to come. Every hotel in the city was literally packed, and it was doubtful whether more could be accommodated witb room, or even fed. There seemed to be fears for the harmony of the oc casion growing out of political differ ences, and some question in reference to the display of a confederate flag. In the first of the series of races be tween the Scotch cutter Thistle and the American sloop Volunteer, for the America cup, sailed last Tuesday, our vesjel won by over 12 minutes. This cup was first offered by England and was called the one hundred guinja cup, and iu the first race, some thirty year. ago, was won by America. Foreign vessels have tried repeatedly to win it but have never yet been able to take it away from the Yankees, Armfield, Dowd, Gilmer, Clark, Jar vis, Holt, Stedman, Saunders, Cook, Bryan, and others, are spoken of for Governor. We have plenty of able and competent men. The candidate select ed should be willing and able to make a rigorous canvass of the State. Judge Gilmer will probably not accept a nomination. Mr. Saunders health and crippled condition will prevent his ac ceptance. We only desire that a safe and competent man may be nominate!. It is said that the richest woman on the Western Continent, with her two daughters, will visit this country and spend the winter in New York. She is Dona Isadora Cousiua, a Chilian money queen; she will take a house iu New York and teach i the Gothamites what money can do in making splendor. She is not much short of 40 but looks younger. She and ner daughters speak the purest English. . Government staticians find that since 1S40 the use of whisky has fallen off one-half in the United States, while the use of wines has increased 40 per cent. Yadkin county leads in pumpkins six averaging 82 lbs. pounds each, and one weighing 120. A correspondent of the State Chroni cle recommends the cow pea as a fer tilizer, sowed down after the wheat crop comes off, and turned under in September after the leaves of the vines have fallen off. Turn under the peus, vines and all the former containing the larger part of the fertilizer in the plant. This process repeated for three or fonr years has been known to bring up land from 3 to 15 bushels of corn to the acre; and wheat, from 5 to 30 bushels. President Cleveland had no time on Centennial day in Philadelphia to kiss babies, as he told one mother who pre sented her darling for that favor; but there was a squarefchinned. red haired woman next in the crowd passing and shaking hands with the President who cook mm oy surprise. ne aimed a kiss at the President's lips, but he dodged and she landed it on his chin, and went on with evident satisfaction. Three railroad smashes occurred on Tuesday last; one on the Iron moun tain road nfar Walnut Ridge, Ark. Another on the Boston and Albany road, near Grotton station; and anoth er on t he Mobile & Ohio road, two miles south of Jackson. Several persons were killed and a larger number wounded, but the damage to trains was generally heavy. The anarchists and socialists are doing some very loud and ugly talking on the condemnation of the Chicago murderers to the gallows. A deep red circular of anarchistic tendencies was issued in Chicago, Sept. 21, signed Federation of Trades Union. It de nounces the courts, judges and officers who condemned the bomb throwers as murderers. O'Brien, the Irish patriot, has been found guilty on two indictments in re lation to the Mitchelstown riot, and sentencea to tnree montns imprison ment. He. took an appeal to a higher court, and gave bail until a rami de cision is made. mi ni i i i it t a m meinarioue unronicie tens us or a boy in Gaston county who was knocked down by the sweep of a cane mill, and falling with his head within the range of the crushers they caught up his hair and by it drew his head in and crushed it to a shapeless mass, Sheriff Bullock, of Franklin county, lost two negro prisoners on the 22d, after getting them almost to the gate of the penitentiary. They sprang from the carriage conveying them, and as the sheriff's pistol failed to fire they escaped. Charlotte Chronicle. Sept, 28. Ma tilda, wife of W. J. Gibson, living near Davidson College, eloped with David Breedlove, alias Walter Blairy, on Saturday 24th. She is aged 42 and left six children. The man is about 50 years old. The signal office at Washington, telegraphed a frost signal on Saturday. Many tobacco farmers who were in I Raleigh and saw the signal there, made haste to their homes to cut tobacco standings the fields. Reports received at Danvifle. Va.. show that no damage was done to the tobacco crop in that part of the State by the late frost. A killiusr frost oc curred at and around Winchester, Va., and all kinds of vegetation suffered. The enforcement of the laws in Ken tucky against violence and bloodshed h iving failed, the people of Rowan, one of the counties where much of it has prevailed, have concluded to try what virtue there is in gospel preaching. The N. Y. State Convention met at Saratoga, on the 27th. Hon. Geo. Rains, of Rochester, was made chair man, and on taking the seat, delivered a stirring address in which he adverted to the purposes of the convention. Secretary Thompson's circular offer ing to purchase government 4 and 4 per cent, bonds falling due some years hence, has been responded to by the purchase of over $8,000,000 within the past week. The New York and Massachusetts Democracy in State Convention de nounce the unnecessary taxation by the present tariff and demand a reduction. the Massachusetts republican's, also in convention, declare for protection. Mr.. James B. Marshall, avouncman of Richmond, Va., was killed at Ben- nettsville, h. C, last Sunday, bv beini? thrown from a buggy by the running away of the horse he was driving. Monroe Johnston, a bad nesrro from Charlotte, N. C.y was lynched near Leeds, Ala., Monday week, for killing Mrs. Jack poster, near that place. He was arrested in Atlanta and confessed his crime. Railroad Revival. Raleigh Correspondence Richmond Dis patch, It. is now claimed that tho plan of building tlie railway from Southport (formerly BniithviMe) to Bristol, Tenn., is not a failure, as it certainly appeared to be some months ago. The rumor h is gained currency in the Southport section that capitalists connected with the project will soon be there to put things in motior , How much truth there is iu these state ments cannot be said, Lastinter when the corps of surveyors began to run the line from Southport through Brunswick county great things were expected of the South Atlantic and .Northwestern, as the road was known. These great expecta tions fell dismally flat when in a few weeks the surveyors returned minus pay or food.

I guarantee Shriner's Indian Vermifuge to destroy and expel worm a from the hu man body, where they exist, if used ac cording to directions.- You are author ized to sell it upon the above conditions. David E. Foutz, Proprietor, Baltimore, m. Improvements. There can be no question of the fact : the South generally, is on a boom. That Salisbury expects to get her share of the good things attending it, goes without saying. To sit down and expect it to come along without using money, muscle and brains, is the surest way not to get it. All tnese had to be used lavishly to build up such places as Birmingham, At lanta, Augusta, and other Southern cities, and as capitalists who look at such mat ters only in the light of profitable invest ments, must be sure the situation will justify it before parting with their money. The first matter to consider is, what have we here that will attract and secure the means ? Good climate, a healthy coun try, geographical advantages, certainly, and a kind soil wherever properly culti vated, generally, and it is the natural centre of supply to the country around for many miles. And no small addition, especially as a future source of wealth, are the many mining properties through out this section which, as the faculties for working ores are improving, we may ex pect, in a few years, will invite much greater outlay in that direction than has obtained heretofore. Tobacco ware houses and factories are increasing, which is certainly a good indication, but suc cess is necessary to their continuance, and to building others, and success de pends in a great measure upon a supply from our own neighborhood. A cotton factory is needed, but getting it depends much upon whether our cotton receipts will justify it. A cotton seed oil mill would help the cause what amount of seed can be had ? A woolen mill is needed where is the wool to come from? These arc a few of the industries thai depend on a supply upon the adjacent country. What are the prospects ? Con cord to the south, Lexington on the north east, and Winston north of us, are ex pecting a "bocin," and they are all com petitors with Salisbury for it. What is Salisbury doing? The old piers of the old bridge across the Yadkin are mute witnesses as to what he hasn't done ! Would Winston-have left such an amount of business to drift elsewhere for lo ! these many years, when a small outlay would have kept trade, paying annually, profits more in amounts than the cost of a bridge? And the country roads! We would have to invent more forcible lan guage than Webster gives us to express exactly what we feel when using them in winter, buppose we had. for a radicus of 10 miles, all the roads leading out Horn (Salisbury properly piked real Pennsylvania turnpikes would farmers prefer to use them, or the Lad roads to Wipston, Lexington or Concord? Sup pose Winston, Lexington or Concord should make such roads, would Salisbury lose any of the trade which now cnmi here ? t?cme town will be first in this matter. Will it be Salisbury? Then comes the serious question of cost. It is estimated that a piked road, 16 feet wide will cost 1,500, in the north. Cheaper labor and material here should reduce the cost to $1,200 per mile. There are 8 roads, radiating from Salisbury and to pike them 10 miles out, would cost about $100,000. This money could be had by sale of that amount of city and county 6 per cent. 30 year bonds at par, making interest $0,000 per annum. This would add to the present tax (as the assessed value of property is $4,000,000 and over), 20 on the $100, which would pay the in terest and loan $2,000 surplus for sinking fund to redeem the bonds at maturity. This would more than do it at compound interest at 4 per cent. We all want to avoid "more taxes," but a good farmer never begrudges the extra expense of com posting his laud, as he knows the extra return will more than repay the cost. There are 5,000 people who pay taxes in the town and county, and it is fair to sup pose 2,500' of them use teams to bring produce to market. Each is taxed, say $2.50 per annum for the roads, and he saves at least $5 a yepr in the wear and tear of his teams, to say nothing of the moral advantage of the absence of the annual amount of profanity he is now supposed to indulge in. The waste lands are a burden upon many. Taxes on them are sure and the income from them noth ing. Good roads will enhance the price of all lands, and make marketable that which is now a burden. To return to the advantages to the city, as the receipts of cotton, tobacco and wool re increased, (as they must certainly come here in preference to going elsewhere if we have piked rouds), and thereby insure plenty of supply to fac tories, the capital could readily he ob tained to build them, and these once well established the town woild grow of itself. We must consider, also, t hat most of the money to build the roads would come from elsewhere, and must be ex pended for work and material here. Water works are excellent, but they don't bring produce to our market. What we have is well. What we hope and must jn ork for is to use our opportunities for something still bettor, T, LIST OF LETTERS. List of letters remaining in post offics at Salisbury, N.
