The wheat wa3 very good, and it is a section in which the best wheat on record is produced; aud what is important, most of the farmers got their wheat sheaves in the barn before the late raiu3. In less favored localities farmers were not so for tunate: in Davidson county, between Jacksou Hill and Lexington, for instance, the wheat crop was generally caught in the rain, and considerable damage done to both the straw and the grain. Corn crops are looking well, though a lar'c proportion of it, especially in Davidson, is rather badly in the grass, and the con tinued wet weather has prevented the .f il t t . vicuiiug oi iue neias. a larirc nroDor- uon oi toe oats crop in the same section is yet unharvested and will doubtless be damaged by unfavorable weatl e. The old red and rocky lands in the valley of the Yadkin on both sides of the river show up as well as usual, even on lands under cultivation beyond the mem ory of the oldest inhabitants. The sea sons, thus far, have been favorable, on the whole, and these lauds respond to the labors of the farmers. Collactor Eaves' Appointment l3.

On last, Monday morning, before the opening hours of the office, the books of the Internal Revenue Collector's office for this district were turned over to the new Collector. There was not much ceremony, and any one seeing the re ceipts being signed and knowing nothing about it would have thought it was an everyday occurrence. There were plenty of witnesses, however the Boy- den House was full of them. The old inossback Republicans and the vouimer ones (terrapins) began to arrive on Satur day and kept on arriving uutil Tuesday. Salisbury never had just such a gather ing before and probably never will have again. There were all grades of them, all hungry and wanting a bite from the Eaves pie. We give below the names of all we could find on the hotel registers and would be pleased to give the names of about as many more Avho were here but did not go to the hotels. We would also liked to have honored them with letting the people know what particular part of the pie they wanted to get a bite of, but could not find that out.

Cornfy Ccmmisiioners Meeting. ' The board of commissioners met " last Mouduy, and the following business was transacted: s The bond of John Beard, cotton wcighv er, in the sum of $1,000, "was accepted and ordered to be recordod. rfhe oath of office was administered to Jno. A. Hedrick, W. G. Watson and A. W. Kluttz the county Board of Education elect. The sheriff was authorized to issue a license to G. Richards to sell mault liq uors in Salisbury.

C. t This town is not much given to "blow but has a quiet way of going right along in solid improvements. One who knjew the old tovn with its ragged fences hull rickety buildings of a dozen years ago would be astonished to go through it now. The most beautiful residences to be seen in any of our country towns line tin main streets of that place. And many of the buildings set well back from the street, with beautifully ornamented yards in front. Add to these evidences of prosperity a large cotton factory which is spinuing and weaving, with a force of 140 hands on the pay roll, comfortably sheltered in 40 neat two-tory tenement houses; and to this grand establishment a floiuin mill of 7p barrels daily capacity, and sending its Hour almost everywhere, far and near, and all put up in the last de cade, it will be seen that the sleepy little town of old has aroused itself indeed, and is making itself felt in the race for usefulness and distinction. Who is doing it? It is a new race of young bloods. Nearly all the -"old time" men who were in at the birth of the town are gone, and exist only in the memory of the descendants as men of probity and moderate business energy. They were not fast but cautious; and if living now would be uunqalified for the push and vim of the present time. The "Hail Storm" Controversy. Editor M'a'chman: I have been silently observing the hail storm controversy which has been carried on between the Herald and others, and it seems to have taken the.shape of a question of veraciity between the Herald and its inform ,it and those who claim tli damage aud suffering and who made the appeal lor assistance. lhe writer knows nothing nlmnf n,o damage done by the hail in Steele town ship, only from hearsay. We had a conversation with J. V. Millrr Kn who told us that he did not I ..'.' thins by the storm, but th neighbo.-s lost largely of wheat aiid other crops. Mr. Miller is the president of the Alliance that made th and, of course, sanctioned the proceed ing. It seems to me th:it. fhi !.. .1,1 ... w iiiwiivi a sufficient passport to the - confidence ol any person. I cannot think anv one who knows him would siiihhmi. li.. pable of knowingly approving or con niving at any wrongful act, We also have the letter from Mr. J. M. ir.-nn uiiu ui me must prosperous and success ful farmers in the county. He says he has personally inspected the effects of the hail upon the crops, and that great damage was done, and that there would be suffering, &c, and proposes to con tribute to the sufferers if a petition fs gotten up. And yet, in the face of all this, the Herald persists in saying " there will be no suffering." (We like to see this phrase and hope he will be able to estab lish it.) It seems greatly to have shocked the moral sensibilities of the Herald, that the r K . 1 appeal was nrst published in a Charlotte paper. They doubtless had reasons satis factory to themselves for doing so. But they also published it in the Progressive Farmer, which is the official organ of the order, and was, of course the proper channel through which to make the ap peal. Agajn, the Herald is very much shocked becise he says they compared the hail storm to the Connemaugh disas- t rnu:. .1. t . i ,V,. ici. j. ins iney iiici not io. lnev ap plauded persona who contributed to the relief of those sufferers, but asked them to help "sufferers nearer home," &c. Of course it was ridiculous and nlmost a:rilegious (according to the Herald) for them to even allude to the Johnstown flood. Yet in the last issue of the Her ald, in 'dunning its subscribers for money, it so far made light of the hail storm as to say, " The Herald is not a Sufferer by the hail storm, having had no crops ruined, it will suffer no want on account of the storm, and it does not want or ask charity," etc. Docs this not e:m the climax? Is it not infamous? The hail storm was the direct act of God, and yet the editor of a xublic newspaper will hold it up to ridicule in this way. No one could have been more shocked than ourselves upon hearing of the great Johnstown disaster, and the people have nobly responded to their call for relief, It should be remembered too that that disaster was not so much the act of God as it was the result of the folly of men who built the reservoir for their own personal amusement, and who had given bond in three millions of dollars to make good any damages that might result, whilst the farmers who lost almost their all by. the hail storm, had no bonds to fall back on for damages, and yet the Herald would prevent any one from contributing to their relief if he could. He admits that Jt waone cautfc of his editorial " to prevent the people from sending ,contri butions to those who did not need it " or, something of thi3 sort. But Uierd was no damage and there will be no suffering." (We are fond of reading this sentence and horn: he will It seems to bo a habit with the Herald When he once say a thing to stick to it through thick and thin, right or uurou- om the very start bo treated the late hail storm us a verv eniall affair ... .iuvu mat ib was greauy exagger ated, and seemed disposed to suppres the facts of the case (perhaps he was afraid he would be called on to help them), whilst at the same time ha freed lly published every little minutia of the JohustowH trouble. Suppose he had suppressed the facts and particulars ofJ iuui as u nas uone aoout the hail storm and his suffering fellow citizens, what I ask, would the peoplo here have known about that great disaster only that a hi" pond had bursted and drowned some persous, etc. It doe.- stem to me that tor the sake of the truth of history, the Herald and all other papers should have endeavored to arrive at aud publish facts concerning the hail storm. The idea of a hail storm in which there were thousands of hail stones as large as a man's fit,aiui which covered the ground from three to four inches thickj why. any man with a thimble full offense is bound to know that no vegetation could live under such a pelting, and to argue that suclra storm did no damage, and would cause no suf fering, is simply a rcductio ad ab3iirdum. What, Mr. Brunei, are ih f:wt r.f thn case Why, sir, you and Capt. James Crawford having'heard of my great loss had sympathy enough to drive out to my premises and view it for yourselves. When I met Capt. Crawford at. my gate he extended his hand and the first word he said was, " Well, Squire, you are a ruined man." This was then the honest sentiment of an honest farmer's heart. He is a farm r, and at a glance he saw the immense damage done. me. You both examined my premises and my crops carefully, and both said it was really worse than you expected to sec it. You found a very valuable field of wheat which I had mowed down. This was hauled in for cow feed. You found every stalk of my cotton and corn, and garden truck cut down and mangled past recov ery. You saw all tliis and more, and you saw all my fruit offof 1,000 fruit trees utterly destroyed, and I know jou then felt that I must suffer. I then gave a description of it through the Watchman and will not now repeat it. We went to work and did our work all over again. Planted anew the cotton and corn crop and -to-day wc have a young crop comiug on, but whether it will make anything r -mains to be seen. Of course thcvheat was utterly lost, also the entire fruit crop from which we mainly depended to raise a little money for supplies. Thus far we have not suffered for bread iind meat, because we had it on hands, but I know we will have a hard snueeze t trot nlnn hereafter; And it is the sjime with my neighbors whose farms were stricken by the storm. Referring to my diary of May 2Gth, I see this entry : "The most terrific and destructive hail stoim ever known in this country fell at 3:30 p.m. Crops all destroyed. Damage on my farm alone at least $000." That is the record I made then, and it will go down To posterity, as I have seen no cause to . i Tt . I malice u, uiuess 1 miiouiu ma4.e it more. It not only destroyed my present crop of fruit, but it so mangled up the trees that they can never be worth much, .is M.rm are thousands of scars all over the trunks and limbs from which the gum exuds in great quantities, just like cancerous sores all over the body, which must eventually kill them. These are all facts which anybody can see for themselves. All over the forests and pine fields the ground is covered with the debris of sprigs and leaves knocked off, and there is not a roof on my place but what had holes knocked in it and now leaks; and yet the Herald will have you believe "there was no damage done and there will be no suffering. Any man man must stultify himself who will argue against such overwhelming evidence of damage. E ven the blackberry crop was nearly all destroyed. But he need not be alarmed. We had not bellied for nor solicited charity either of him or anybody else, nor do we expect to. We regard it as purely an act of God a chastisement which we probably but too well deserved. But I don't think it exactly becoming in the Herald to undertake'to make light of the misfortunes of the very class of men who support his paper. Perhaps tney mi:ht retaliate by boycotting his paper" J'er btnn xttt napieiti. Upon the whole, we advise the Herald to do less dabli lg in other people's bus iness, especially their misfortunes, if lie can't sympathize with them, and to give his entire attentionto publishing the hog and rabbit yarns of his BilcsV.il 1c and Wood leaf correspondents.
