Railroad Wednesday morning of last week about daylight , near 'Mud Cut." Au east bound freight train ' left the track sknd went down the hill side more than a hundred feet, almost j perpendicular, i The cause is not certain lv known, though it is conjectured that a timber log rolling off from one of the flats may have caused it. There were 14 cars in the train, most of them loaded ; with miscellaneous merchandise, and one or two -with twenty head of beef cattle Fftecn out of tlio twenty were killed or disablcii. The cars were a j complete wreck. Only one man was badly in jured, and he had 'an arm broken in two places and M as severely cut in the face Corn3r SionsLajinj Quite a large crowd, considering the inclemency of the weather, assembled last Thursday afternoon on the grounds o the cotton factory to witness the laying , of the corner stone. The ceremony opened witb prayer by Rev Mr. Murdoch, followed by the laying I of the corner stone and an address by Mr. T. F. Kluttz. fhe copper box that was placed in the stone contained copies of all our town papers, a copy of Blume's and Turner's almanac for 18S8, an old copy of the BibleJ and a silver medal the size of a dollar en graved by Mr. AJrl.

Editor Watchman: It Affbrds us great pleasure to see the' old familiar face of the Watchman m its weekly yisits down here, and to read the news from dear old Rowau and our many friends there. When I wrote Tou last, it was exeeed mgly dry here, and crop prospects were gloomy indeed, but since then, I am glad to report a hne season. Last Sunday night, we had a hard rain, and continued on Monday (30th ult) till noon, so that now the crops are greatly revived. We live a somewhat monotonous life here, each day passing through the same routine of eating, drinking water, sleep- ing, visiting, various points oi interest. such as lines vi He, &c. &c. There are, and have been, quite a num ber of visitors here from Rowan, but a large majority from Concord. At times, the guest 8 cannot all be seated at the two long dining tables, but at present, a good manv having returned home, our number is considerably diminished. It is probably not geuerally well know that in addition to the Sulphur Springs there is also a fine chalybcat (iron) Spring here, and in many cases, after us ing the sulphur water without good re sults, persons change to the chalybeate water and improve rapidly. With kindest regards to all 1 remain yours truly. Y R. Fraley. Good for Mecklenburg. Th Chronicle o yesterday morning brought the following gratifying news: The Democrats of Mecklenburg met in county convention yesterday and nomi nated their ticket, lhe convention was held in the Academy of Music aud was called to order at noon by Mr. J. Whatt Hood, chairman of the connty executive committee. The permanent organization was effected with Captian S. B. Alexan der chairman and Messrs J. M. Sample, John Vanlandiugham and W. W. Ward secretaries. J. Sol. Riexl was nominated for the Senate. , The township vote for candidates for the House of Representatives, elect ed Messrs. J. W. Hood and J. C. Long. Ballotting for the third man resulted in the choice of Mr. N. Gibbons. It. A. Towrence was nominated Tax collector. Z. T. Smith, for Sheriff. j. W. Cobb, for Register of Deeds. J. II. McCiintock, county Treasurer. The Chronicle closes its account of he meeting as follows: The defeated aspirants acted nobly. In every cae they entended the hand of fellowship to their successful competi tors, and assured them ot a hearto and earnest support. The friends of the de feated candidates, too, without a single exception, will support the nominees cordially. This is a good sign. The Democracy of old Mecklenburg is united. The Stanly Freehold Gold IXines ' ..:.IiittitecL- An extraordinary general meeting .of the shareholder of the above company was held at the Charing Cross Hotel on Tuesday, July 17th, for the purpose of considering a resolution for increasing the capital of. the company by the issue of 50,000 preference shares of the Value of 5s. each, entitled to a dividend of 20 per cent, per annum. -"Moneyf Loudon, Eng. : ; . . This is another evidence of the sound ness of the free and unsought advice given by the mining editor of this paper about the time the property passed into the hands of lhe credulous Britian. The promises of dividends the first year, &c, are being fulfilled by these ''extraordina ry general meetings." Had the share holders accepted tho statements of the Mining Department of this paper or had them verified by competent American authority, they could have saved some mouey. But as that-seems to be no object" we pass it by. The present con dition of the property is not what we plain Americans consider as sound. The. statement made in this paper a short time ago to the effect that the concern was in debt, was denied by -an officer of the company. Since that denial we have the following from the Register of Deeds of Stanly county : Albermasle, Stanly Co., N. C, June 281888. Dear Sir: In reply to yours of the 26th : There is a lien or liens in my of fice on the Stanly Freehold Gold Mines to the amount of twenty-seven hundred and fifty pounds (2750 lbs.), made to Davie & Ross, of London. I. W. Snuggs, s Register of Deeds. These gentleman Davie & Ross are officially connected with the concern and have great "faith" in it, but they take pains to keep on the safe side of the "Freehold." They are wise in their day and generation. It is to be hoped that they will succeed in getting the money they need to develop the property.' They had only an ordinary start with something over $400,000. This leads us to say in a general way that thousands of dollars have been and thousands are now being spent by the agents or managers of English mining corporations in ways totally at variance with legitimate mining. Indeed, much that should be expended at the mines never gets within gun-shot of the right place. Instances could be cited, but this article only points to a general state of affairs and attributes some of the fail ures of foreign ventures to this cause. :. Mr. 'David J.

Those shingles must have been wagoned from or near Charleston, S.

This ford waslhe home of 'tie Sapoua Indians when Lawson,who was sent from England by the proprio lori, visited it in 1700. To the People of North Carolina. In Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Va., G,175 Confederate soldiers are, buried. Of this number 1,780 were soldiers from the State of North Car olina. Their graves are unmarked. The ladies of Hollywood Memorial As sociation propose to place granite blocks at the head of each grave and they need contributions of money to enable them to carry out their laudable and patriotic undertaking. North Carolina, whose soldier boys tilt more graves at Hollywood than those of any other State, should aid in marking these graves of her gallant dead, and we confidently appeal to the generosity of our people to honor those whose devotion even unto death was our protection and is our glory.

A large frame out-, ouilding, filled with inflammable stuff, was set 04 fire, and had there been any wind the town would have been destroy ed. As it was, several outb. uildiugs, the property of 11.

The Democratic is the party of pro tection, of protection to Americans in stead of Englishmen. The war tariff and the shipping laws has destroyed the American ocean-carrying trade and laid us under tribute to England for the carrying of our products to market of S200.000.000 a year. Down with the system of protection to English men. Let ns give Americans a iigui ing chance. ' i A Striking Fact. At no time since the war has the Republican party been endorsed 'by a majority of the white voters of the country. Here are the figures: The votes for the Presidential candidates show it.
