Rev. Joseph Wheeler and wife spent a
few days here this week en route to Fay
ettevelle. Mr. Wheeler was appointed
at last conference to serveas pastor of
the Methodist congregation at that place.
They have many friends in Salisbury who
are always interested in their welfare.
A new reel and eiht hundred feet ot
hose is the outfit for fighting fire, that
will be presented to the new hose compa

the hook and ladder company, the alarm
bell and the water works, puts this
department on a footing with the best
equipped in the land.
Thus far, this has been a week of weeks
for the merchants of Salisbury. The
force of salesmen in some of the stores
was inadequate to serve the many custo
mers clamoring to make purchases. The
scene bespoke anything else than hard
times and scarcity of money in this sec-
tion of the country.

The dry goods emporium of Van Wyck
& Schnltz, on Main street, has been
crowded nearly all the week with custo
mers and many have been turned away
for want of some one to wait on them.
The secret of it all is that they are offer

A suitable location for a new cemetery
has been found on the S. R. Harrison land
which was recently sold and purchased
"by parties who are willing to dispose of
it for a reasonable sura. It lies just out
aide the corporate limits of town, on the
Charlotte road, or extension of Main
street, containing about sixteen acres,
more or less undulating, and could be
made a beautiful spot in which to leave
our dead. A subscription list has been
started with flatteriug results, and we
have no doubt that a new cemetery for
Salisbury is now a certainty. The

Shooting Affray.
A shooting affray occurred last Monday
nteht in Providence township at the
home of an old colored man named Mar
tin Bell. A colored boy by the name of
Long was at Bell's house cursing and
carrying on, and Bell told him o leave
whereupon Long picked up a gun and
shot Bell in the bowels, inflicting a fatal
wound.
Sad Accident
A little son of Jack Mowery, col., about
8 years old, was instantly killed last
Tuesday evening by tne discharge of a
flobert rifle. The facts of the case are
these : Mowery took the gun from home
into the kitchen of a neighbor's where
there were other children, and tried to
shoot it off in the fire. After he had
tried several times, another little fellow
took it, and lifting it up snapped it when
it exploded, the ball striking Mowery in
the forehead with the above results.

The Mendelssohn Quintette Cluh
The value of its offerings on the shrine of the
true and beautiful, in musical art, is inestima
ble. It Las achieved genuine artistic triumphs,
all over this vast country, without compromis
ing any of its truly classical aims and instincts,
but winning the field by storm rather than by
strategy at tha very point of the musical bay
onet.
Musical refinement, of taste and conception,
is cultivated through the ear, by listening to
good music, well performed, and not bv mere
technical education, which often contracts-
rather than expand musical feeling in the
practitioner. Thus, the mmn, the only advan
tage gained, now-a-days, by studying music in
large cities, is the lanje scope, thev furnish
for hearing the best of music fully and finely
performed.
Therefore, such a transplendent opportunity'
for hearing sterling music, brought right to us,
on the 4th of next month, I ardently hope none
will neglect to improve, and for, at least, three
cogent reasons, viz: the pure enjoyment derived,
the re-enforceraent of musical education given
and the substantial assistance afforded to the
Young Men's Christian Association," either
of which, in itself, will, or should fully compen
sate for the money expended.
Each instrumentalist, in this famous troupe,
is " a uiamotm ot tne nrst water , out mm ot
the violoncello a brother of the renowned edi
tor of the weekly New York " .Musical Courier
Blumenberg, is peerless, nay matchless, on
that grand instrument!
In Miss Carpenter will be found an educa
tional aid and model as well as a source of
intense musical pleasure to both vocalists and
instrumentalists : for the voice is God's own in
strument, given to every human creature, of
normal organization ; all others arc devices ot
man. And as Thai berg says : ' Whether a per
son wisiics to sing or not, ne or sue snoum, at
least. as a part of a good musical education
thoroughly cultivate the voice, in order to de-
vclope equallv, to strike -accurately, to sustain
uniformly and connect purely, all the tones of
a musical composition, in performing it on any
instrument." W. II. Keavk.

appointed by the legislature to examine
the books and accounts oi tne otate
Treasurer and Auditor commenced their
work on Thursday of last week, and late
yesterday afternoon completed a thor
ough examination of the Treasurer's
books. Senator H. Ii. Adams, chairman
of the committee, reports that everything
in the othce in the way of books s,nd ac
counts were found in perfect order and
accurate to a cent. The report of the
committee, which will be made to-day,
will show that at the close of the fiscal
year ending November 3J), 1886, there
was in the treasury a balance on account
of educational fund of $23,223.38; of pub
lic fund $172,32706. During the year
ending November 30, 1887, there was re
ceived on account of educational fund

177,70, making the total funds of the
State for the year ending November 30,
1887, $1,052,548.62. Of this fund there
was disbursed during' the past year on
account of educational fund $5,524.21; on
account of public fund $885,389.78, mak

Away with the "bloody shirt !"'
There is still too much effort to keep
alive sectional hatred in this grand
country of ours. There are men and
politicians who seem to regard it trea
sonable for our Southern States to
honor those who were their leaders
during the war, either liring or dead.
But our friends of the South would not
be men if they did not esteem their old
leaders. The war is long since past;
both sides believed they were right in
that conflict; the South was convinced
of its error by force of arms, and his
tory does not record an instance in
which a conquered people have more
cheerfully accepted the arbitrament of
war. To-day the United State has
really no North, no South, no East, no
West, so intimate is the relationship
existing between the industry, com
merce and agriculture of the various
sections. Let us keep our faces to the
front and unitedly work together to
fulfill the destiny which lies before
American citizenship. Let us be good
citizens rather than bad politicians.
Thee remarks are hispired not so
much by recent political events as by a
report of the exercises at the unveiling
in Richmond of a statue to the late
Gen. Lee a Christian hero,' whse
momory is treasured by all who knew
him, irrespective of sectional or party

MIZJINO DEPARTMENT.
T. . S8UK K KDfWR. RALEIGH, N. C.
The Jarrjtt Iroperty.
Exit acts from a valuable report made
by Dr. C. D. Smith, of Franklin, Macon
Co., a recognized authority in the tree
montane counties of this State. He says :
The Jarrett property, situated on the
Nanteyalee river in Swain and Macon
counties, North Carolina, consists of
about fifty-three hundred acres, lying
nearly equally divided on either side of
the river, and rcachine from the umer
litfe adjoining Nelsons down the river,
about five miles. The river here has
sculptured out a deep gorge, in which the
minerals of value have been grouped in
a narrow zone. This physical structuie
and the erosive forces which have de
veloped it, we shall see in the progress
of this discussion, demonstrates a wise
economy of natural causes in presenting
these wonderful resources under the most
favorable conditions for the use of our
age and our progressive civilization.
It is proper that I should, before pro
ceeding to the discussion of the minerals
of economic value, make a brief state
ment in regard to the geological horizon
to which your property belongs. Geolo
gists are, I believe, pretty well agreed in
giving this system the name of Huronian
a system composed of the- ojdest, well
defined and thoroughly knojtvnl sedimen
tary rocks belonging to the earth's crust.
While I do not propose to discuss here,
the order of age and deposition in all the
members of the system, as they are de
veloped in the Nanteyalee region, yet I
deem it pertinent to say, that to the lower
series of the Huronian system belong
argilite (clay slate) sand stoucsfbelonging
mainly to the variety known as Itacolu-
mite or Flexible sand stone$Talc and
galmatolite, and granular Limestone
which is of sufficient texture and purity
to make a good marble. These rocks are
in the main identical in character and
lithological relations in all counties
The importance of this fact will ap
pear in the progress of discussion in this
paper.
MARBLE.
The Limestone in this grouping consti
tutes the Cherokee and Nanteyalee mar
ble belt. And the fact that it is identi
cal in its geological horizon with the
Vermont marble and also with the Italian
statuary marDie, invests it witli more
than ordinary interest. The Nanteyalee
marble in point of texture and excellency
ot quality uas no superior, and as to va
riety of color and diversity of tint and
shade in relief, there is uoue to excell it
This marble zone runs for several miles
through your property, and has, at dif
ferent points, a thickness of from one to
uve Hundred ieet. inese diinefisiors in
sure it to be practically inexhaustible
It is, however, impossible to estimate its
true value with its present state of de
velopment. The work w hich has been
done upon it has scarcely removed the
surface. It has by no means penetrated
beyond weather influences.
It is rarely the case that marble beds
are so advantageously situated fbr quar
rying, as they usually lay in low ground
which render the waters troublesome and
expensive. Here the ledece through the
whole exteut of your lands stands at
high angle, trending parallel Jwith the
river and the railroad track, and facing
up from near the track it reaches at some
points an altitude of from one to three
hundred feet. It is impossible to con
ceive ofconditions more favorable for en
tcrprise and capital, and for establishing
a very large and profitable industry in
marble works. Indeed, nature seems to
have been lavish in the disposition of
these resources and conditions, and it
sculpturing out a channel for the remov
al of this material to meet the 'demands
of our growing civilization and the rapid
ly developing taste of our people for
architectural beauty.
SLATE.
Another feature in thftrJarrett proper
tv which promises To be of much value
is the slate bed. This is a distinguishin
member of the Nanteyalee geologica
series, and lies in close proximity to the
marble.
The river channel lies immediately be
tween the marble and the slate. While
the marble trends along the mountain
face above the west bank of the river, the
slate trends along the parallel face of the
mountain above the east bank of the
river. On an air line the two beds are
not more than five or six hundred yard
apart at most. The slate stfrndsHt a high
angle. At the surface it appear to stanc
nearly perpendicular, a fact, "which, we
shall see is of paramount importance
The upper outcrop, that is the one which
lies farthest up the river, and which
have examined with greater care than the
others, is directly oppositellheouse, and
but little more than-a quarter )pf a mile
from the depot, tt will.' therefore, be
convenient to haul the rough materii.
across the river and have the cutting
house and yard for preparing the materia
for shipment, by the side of a switch track
where the roofing tiles and nags mav be
loaded upon the cars. The slate bed at
this point, according to a recent measure
mcnt which I made is, at least,' one hun
dred and nn v Ieet tnick. that is, l mean
to say, across the outcrop and? the bed
being turned up upon its edge, 'the depth
is altogether problematic. The crest
the bed here reaches an altitude of a bun
Jred feet or more above the river. The
opening, for purposes of quarrying, may
be made by stripping the face next to the
river for several hundred feet, if so de
sired, and to any depth the quarry mau
may wish. This slate has popular color
being a bluuish black. It possesses good
body, has a good ring and is remarkably
a u ;h for slate which has been detached
by weathering, and has laid for ages ex
Ised to all the varied agencies of the
atmosphere and the changes of season
temperatrre. I have taken slabs from
the surface, where through the ages of
the past they have been parched and
dried, measuring 20x0 inches, ai: l v, ..h
an old, dull ce spli: thei:i ifAu
not exceeding au inch, or uu inch and u
half, in thickness. This demonstrated
to my satisfaction the excellent quality
of the mutcrial, if taken from proper
depth in the bed.
The beds on your property are admira
bly situated for securing slates from a
point beyond all surface influences at a
comparative nominal cost. By cutting
away the face of the ledge down to, say
seventy-five feet from the crest of the
outcrop, and to a horizontal depth of
seventy-five feet from the outer face, the
heart of the ledge, may, perhaps be
reached. On this plan the beds may be
worked without any serious trouble or
expense from water, and yet not at the
expense of that moisture necessary to
preserve the best quality of slate.
The slate bed, when considered as to
ts extent and magnitude, the quality of
ts slates and the physical agencies which
have stripped it and presented it in the
most favorable conditions to be economi
cally utilized in the various uses to which
slate is applied, is an extraordinary one,
and cannot fail, in the near future, to
make a large factor in the values of the
arrettjaroperty.
TALC.
Intervening between the roofing slate
and marble are talcomicacious slates and
tacolumite sand stone. In this sand
stone which lies against marble are beds
of steatite (soapstone) and agalmatolite.
fhe agalmatolite so much resembles the
steatite in color, phvsical features and
unctious feel that the one cannot be dis
tinguished from the other by the eye.
They are, however, quite different in
chemical composition, the steatite being
a magnesia n mineral, and the agalmato-
ite an aluminous mineral. This chemi
cal difference in composition is. in some
respects, an important one, as it affects
some uses to which these respective com
pounds are applied. Agalmatolite is in
fusable before the blow-pipe and is readily
distinguished from talc by chemical re
action under the blow-pipe flame. With
nitrate of cobalt, it gives a blue-colored
enamel, proving thereby the presence of
alumina, in place of magnesia.
The marble and sand stone zone con
tinues in an unbroken ledge from the up-
cr line of the Jarrett property adjoining
Nelsons to a point below the red marble
quarry where the river cuts through the
edge to its went side, a distance of near
y or quite four miles. At numerous
joints along the whole line I have loevv
frngmeuts of the so-called soap stone
upon the surface, indicating underlying
beds of it. There have becu some open
ings made and a considerable amount of
it taken out upon the red marble tract.
At this point it occurs insitu and I have
no doubt will furnish supplies for a great
while to come. Then, again, should
openings be made at all the poihts where
it occurs upon the surface, it would be
found practically inexhaustible. There
fore, as a factor in the values which at
tach to the Jarrett property it can be re
lied upon for an indefinite future.
EUERH STONE.
There is also a ledge of Chalccdonic
quartz (hurrh stoue) on the sand field
tract, ami, wnne at tne suriacc, it con
tains an iron orchreous matter, it indi
cates good burrh grit beyond the weather
line. This material may perhaps have
some value in connection with the future
enterprises which must, of necessity, re-
ult from the development of resources f o
rich and varied.
WATKR-POWER, ETC.
The Nanteyalee river, which runs
through the center of this property, is a
-stream of considerable size, equal, at
least, to the Ta'ulah, at the Tails. It has
a rapid current, and can be used with
j,reat facility for propelling machinery.
It can be utilized at every half mile for
this purpose.
TIMBER FOR LUMBERING.
In the coves and recesses of the moun
tain faces, there is timber of great variety
and usefulness yellow poplar, very tall
and large, cucumber, chestnut, ash, sugar
maple, lynn, beech, white hickory, locust,
water or shinole oak, chestnut oak, dog
wood, and some walnut along the mar
ble. The coves are extremely rich, and
much of this timber is of large growth
and fine quality. The ash is especially
flue, many of the trees being quite large
and remarkably sound. These resources
of timber constitute no mean item in the
question of values of the Jarrett property,
especially when considered in connection
with the water-power for running saws
and the industries which must necessarily
spring up in the utilization of the rich
mineral resources of this regiou. It is
pertinent to remark, also, that in the rich
soil and shaded conditions of these moun
tain coves, ginseng grows, and an abund
ance of liverwort and other medicinal
plants, are found.
