We 1 - a a nave an association that meets the de mands fully and has no adjunct in the way of high salaried officers. Some hog raisefs plant mulberry trees for hogs and say that they thrive on the fruit. There is no doubt about the fact that hogs thrive on clover pasture, and as a rule are free from cholera where they have clover to run on. It is said that truckers near Raleigh realize as much as $100,00 per acre from strawberries. .Vbout 10,000 plants to the acre and they should bear for several years. Have any of our Rowan fruit growers tried strawberries? Mr. Hambly Aain. Mr. W. T. Linton, well known here, and whose arrival from London was noted last week, says that of his own knowledge, he can say that there are no differences between Mr. Hambly of the Sam Christian mine, aud the 'directors of the company, aud that on the contrary Mr. Hambly was highly honored by the individual members of the company, and was the recipient of many distinguished courtesies from them. This statement effectually silences and fully contradicts the rumors current here a few weeks ago (published iu this paper, and contradicted iu succeeding issues), to the effect that Mr. H. was in trouble in regard to financial matters with the com pany, aud further shows that these rum ors were wholly idle aud without founda tion in fact. Mr. H. who is soon to re turu to the State, will come with all the eclat of a successful European business trip. - Some one spoke of a new modern ho tel to be built here. What has become of it? If the town had a modern hotel aud a real opera house, with leather cushioned opera chairs, the place would present a very different aspect to the traveling public. Salisbury needs a first class, strict mil itary academy for boys, and it would not be a bad idea to so encourage the Salis bury Female Academy that it would be made a large sehool for young ladies. Two such institutions would be as good as a cotton factory. The first Y. M. C. A. Convention of this, the Charlotte district, will be held at Statesvillc, November 1st to 3d. Re duced rates on the railroad will be given. The following persons have been appoint ed as delegates, from Salisbury: J. A. Ramsay, E. B. Neave, W. C Wright, W. H. Reisuer. Our Chamber of Commerce has not had a meeting for some time. It is too val uable an organization to be allowed to go down. The Watchman has the true interest of the town at heart, and would like to see the organization kept alive. The interests of the whole town should actuate those connected with izat ion. the organ- Mr. James Wren, whose well known skifland taste in thfe art decoration has made him a statewide reputation, has been called to Raleigh to be master of decoration at the approaching nuptials of one of the fairest women of the State.

Bahnson, of Salem, was here on, Tuesday last on professional bus; ness Mr. Editor: Three weeks iu the heart cf the City of Brotherly Love is suffi cient to furnish material lor years of thought. On your right you see women ot some nationality gathering up reluse timber torn from old houses by the con traeloi and builder, binding it in great bundles, placing it upon their heads and, carrying it to their miserable hovels in tlie back alleys. On your left you see the favored daughter of wealth and cul ture, walking so gracefully and apparent ly unconscious ot her surroundings that Vuti'r mind naturally contrasts the two extreme stations of life. Thousands of day laborers, with meager salary, grow ing poorer at hard work, and a tew em ployers, making great gain, to some extent, solves the interesting problem, "why such great contrasts?" Iu front ot the Bingtiam House you see a young American blood, great volumes of smoke curling from bis dilated nostrils; with . . I . . 1 i . . mniasLie ioucii icsciunir nis niiu', at nis feet you see an American free-born citi zen plying the brush wiih magic skill, again, iu spite of your best intentions to believe that all men are naturally equal, your mind draws a contrast, aud you are puzzled to your wits ends to know which ot liie two is the greater. lou go to the crossing oi two great thoroughfares, you seek hundreds (wag ons, carts, carriages, &c.,) coming and going; now each stops, now it moves, all at the wave of one man's staff. The high, the low; the rich, the poor; each iu his turn acknowledges the supe riority of one man, w bom they call ' po lice." With your knowledge of civiliza tion and political economy, you readih comprehend it all. By common consent of more than a million people, this po liceman is a public referee. So far as I am informed, no sane man ha. ever questioned his authority, or bolted bis decision. Your mind naturully asks, " is this the history of all time?" "Is this the history of all nations? " No. War riors fight and terror reigns supreme, where civilization, education and religion (Christian riligion), that blessed triumvi rate, have not made their way. Surely the question of government by supreme authority is one upon which the greatest minds may love to dwell, and next to that is delegated authority. Such, Mr. Editor, are the thoughts which revolve in my mind as I walk leisurely over the great city but hark! I hear a signal and the clattering hoofs of fiery steeds as they go rushing swiftly by. I look forward, behold ! a great throng, and in the midst is a respectably dressed Caucasian under the arrest of a deeply colored gentleman of the African race. I forget I'm iu the great city, throw ray head to one side and whistle, Dixie's the land for me." Oct. 19, '89. C. W. COBBIHER the Commissioner of Internal Revenue indicate that the receipts from internal taxation are increasing at the rate of a million dollars a month. This increase is not confined to any one article of tax ation. As is well known , distilled spirits, malt liquors and tobacco iu all its forms are the only articles now left subject to internal revenue taxation, except oleo margarine, and the tax on that article was intended to be more prohibitory than a source of revenue, though in this respect it has not answered the inten tions of its promoters, but has proved a greater source of revenue than a prohi bition. The inerease has been all along the line, no one article of taxatien especially predominating. The revenue from In ternal Revenue taxation for the fiscal year ending with June, 1888, was esti mated at one hundred and twenty mil lions, aud was actually four and a quar ter millions more. The revenue for the fiscal year ending June, 1889, was esti mated at one hundred aud twenty-five millions, and amounted to over one hun dred aud thirty-one millions aud a half. i tie revenue tor the present nscai year which commenced on July 1 last is run ning ahead of all calculation at the rate of a million a mouth. Under these circumstances it is under stood that the Administration will make a strong bid for popularity in the to bacco-growing States of the South by recommending the immediate and un conditional repeal of the tobacco tax This was the measure which Representa tive Cowles of North Carolina, with the assistance of Mr. Randall and a compact Democratic contingent from the south ern States, endeavored so strenuously to put through the last Congress, but were prevented from doiug so by the impossi bility ot obtaining consideration under the rules. I he Administration will now try to foster its " white man's party " in the South by making the repeal of the tobac co tax a leading feature in the Republi can programme. The receipts from to bacco aggregate a little over $30,000,000 a year. 1 he amouut might be stricken off the revenue for the coming fiscal year ami still leave the total receipts from in ternal revenue source ouly five millions less than they were in 1885, only nine millions less than they were in 1886, nut f i . eleven miiuous less than they were in 1887. Iu eaeh of those years the collec tions were ample for all the purposes o the Government, aud, in fact, lelt a con siderable surplus. The unavoidable iu lerence is that the tobacco tax must go. There was a suulcient majority in th last' Cougress committed to its abolition to have secured the passage of the bill i it could have been called up under the rules. Coming before the next Congress as an ivuminisiration measure, ana as such securing pieferenec- and a reference to a friendly committee, the indications are that it will be one of the first meas ures which the Republicans will try to rush through, so as to stave off the in convenient discussion of the tariff ques tion, upon which they are so much divided. l OUR P FALL SLATE.

It should, be up town and kept in good not necessarily extravgaut manner and supplied with all modern improvements. We do not, in urging this move as a mat ter of town policy, mean iu any way to reflect upon those conducting hotels here now, as they are doubtless doing the best that can be doue w ith the struc tures now occupied, but there is a de mand for something more pretentious by the traveling public. Cannot a stock company be organized for the purpose? Mr. J. A. My rick, late of Rnndleman, N. C, has taken charge as sup't of the cotton mills of this place.

We com- The Cross and White Cass. Washington, D. C, Oct. 22. Argu ment was began in the Supreme Court of the United States to-day in the well known case of Chas. E. Cross aud Sam'l C. White, defaulting president and cash ier respectively, of the State National Bank of Raleigh, N. C, against the State nf North Carolina. Cross and White were indicted in the North Carolina S'ate Courts for forgery. It is alleged that they forged a note for the purpose of sustaining certain false entries they had made in the bank's books, their intention being to deceive the general bank examiner, whose duty it was to examine into and report upon the financial condition of the bank. The bank at the time was in an insol vent condition, and its officers were anxious to bide its true condition from the examiner. The two men were con victed and sentenced. When arraigned, the defendents objected to the jurisdic tion of the State courts, contending that the crime alleged was ,one against the laws of the United States, and therefore eognizablo in the Federal and not in the State courts. The court, however, over ruled this plea, and the case went to trial. The jury at first reported that they had been unable to agree, but when they were polled by the Judge in open court, it was ascertained that the jury were agreed on a verdict of guilty on the first two counts in the indictment, but were divided on the remaining two counts. The prosecuting attorney then entered nol I ep rose as to the latter two counts, and the jury then brought in a verdict of guilty. It is maintained in behalf of Cross and White that this action of the judge in polling the jury, deprived them of their rights under the fourteenth and ! fifteenth amendments. It is on these two questions of jurisdiction of the State courts and of the polling of the jury that the case comes before the Supreme Court. W. B. Henry appeared in behalf of Cross and White, and Attorney General Davidson, of North Carolina, represented the State. mpnd him to the nood people of Salisbury as a Christian gentleman worthy of their confidence at:d esteem. The State Bond Case. Washington, D. CM Oct. 21. A mo tion was made in the United States Su preme Court to-day by ex-Solicitor Gen eral Phillips and District Attorney F. II. Busbee, of North Carolina, on behalf of the Attorney General, asking that leave be given to bring an original suit in the name of the United States against the State of North Carolina to recover about $41,000. The suit is an amicable one and is brought with the full consent of the State. The point at issue is .whether the State is lawfully required to pay iuterest after maturity on bonds of the value of $147,000, held by the United States for the benefit of the Cherokee Indians. These bonds were issued about the year 1850 to the North Carolina Railroad and matured in 1855. Attorney General Davison, of North Carolina .represents the State. Sale of Cade's Railway Telegraph. 14 Rev. B.
