HEALTHFUL LOCATION 1 i AND SALUBRIOUS CLIMATE. The town of Salisbury; jvhich is the county seat of R-)wnn,jrca3 first loca ted about 1720, and w;is settled bv a few English churchmen from the ca thedral .city of Salisbury, England, and owes its name to I that circuin stance. - 1 ; In 1770 an act was igassed ly the assembly for "regnl.ttiiig the town of Salisbury." The preatibl states that Salisbury is "a healthy aituHtion, well watered and convenient for inland trade.'1 - - " , . . In 1775 there was a; 'good deal of trouble about the Court! House and the holding ojf Court, and f lm old records in the Court House noj we see that the conrWwas adjournecf from time to time without transacting any business, and at the May term we I find that the first sign of American Independence is announced. This antedates the meet ing in Charlotte on' the ; 20th of May, 1770, and hence to Salisbury and not to Charlotte, should be accredited the laurels of our first Independence. Her people have always been loyal to the powers that be, and in no place can Innis ii-Uierints to 01 ) -t IIJ :l the 1 i-vs of ir v;Mfrti mL L-rw, It onler. buin i'ltrili. reli;;i m, e I- ucational, bcial vrl ihivairic hospi- talitv are among a few of the most noted ch ir vctmsties her citizens, and while the p ace ? has heretofore been one of the slowUtaunh easy- eoin" towns of th- Suth, she has it last shuffle! off her stoijhfulne and is now considered as one if the growing and industrious towns qf the State. We have been the Watchman for :- ! : ' : ' " ' '.. over fifty years, and know many of the report, w glories and vicissitudes of our fairjour fin:, connty and town, and it is now that we take pleasure in announcing to our fellow men that we arfe a people not very far behind the fjames, aud will be only too glad to hsive others come and cast their lot with us and help make our advanced j jprosperitf' one worthy to be proud of To this end wejslue our industrial jsheet and will briefly give you a list oi what we have and Jiot say much of what we were or might hare been. j i populai:on: From a census takeh on the first of June, by the "HewltT we gather the following facts. j Our town, settled hi 720, never had 2,000 inhabitants u4il 1870. The census in 1870 was a fiitce, and in 1880 appeared on the census list with a pop ulation of 2,723. The next census was taken in 1883, three years ago, when- we counted 3,408J To-day it is 4,iou, an jDcrc .uxH . cent, over 1835, anj fn increase oi p,- that the per cen 1436 or 52 per cent, over the censusof of crimeis n0 lsirge, 1880.

The South Ward also has theji largest number of white people as well as of colored peo- while the -'-North uWartl has the ieast whites and the West Ward the fewest blacks. . - The females outnumber the males by J 141. The South jWard heads the list in both columns, while the West Ward is on the bottom. , The whitea outnumber the colored 521; a little over 00 per cent, of our people are white and a ! littleness than 44 er cent, are ccjlorwl.

In regard to age, out enumerators found some difficulty, bjit the exact school age has been ascertained, and of the adults we have 127 people between CO and 70 years of age, of which 82 are white and 45 colored. We have 40 people over 70 years if age, of which 19 are colore 1 and27 are white. This shows thatj we are not in the retrograde and that we are a coporation of no small dimensions. The town is laid offin squares at right angles and is iust one mile square, with four wards. v .TAXATION. i i!

We have three tobacco warehouses, four large plug tobacco manufactories, with' a big capacity, and another to be birilt in the spring, and two smoking tobacco facto ries. Our tobacco interests are in creasing and there is ho reason vhy Salisbury should not in the future lead alLher sister towns in this business. The tobacco warehouses are large and commodious, nnd are known as "The Banner," Swink & Thomason; "Iron Clad," J.J. llankins Bros. & Co.; "The Farmers'," McCubbins & Pickler.
