We have ho account, v r'al or written , of any newspaper editor in Salisbury prior to 1820, who made any reputation as such. Indeed, we are not aware that any newspaper, in the ordinary sense of the word, waipublishe here before that year. Messis. Coopee & Krider had a printing office here and issued a monthly magazine (name not remembered), de voted to miscellaneous matter and the publication of most notable. events in the State and country; but it was not a newspaper" in common parlance. But before them, just how long before we have no means of knowing, " a lame German, named Sloomp," had a printing office on the secoud floor of the house now occupied by Mr. John Buis, where he did variousjob printing, court blanks, circulars and perhaps pamphlets. But the newspaper business proper, in this town, may be said to date from 1S20, at which time two young practical printers, Philo White, of New York, and Lemuel Biuaham, of Massachusetts, came here and bought out Messrs. Coopee & Krider, and established the " Western Carolin ian "the first newspaperever published in this State west of Hillsboro. They were men above the ordinary grade of printers even in their day, aud the paper established by them soon became popu lar, and drew a liberal support not only from counties west, but from all parts of the State. But this firm did not continue exceeding three years. Mr. Bingham drew out and removed to Fay'etteville. MR. PHILO WHITE continued the publication of the paper until 18307 at which time he-received the appointment of Purser on board some government vessel, and sailed for Chili, South America. His career as an editor was characterized by good cenmon sense, and his quick perception of what it was proper to say, and how to say it in the fewest words possible, lie was eminent ly practical and seldom indulged in at tempts at wit. He was a decided suc cess, and relinquished a business that was paying him handsomely, to enter govern ment service. WM. JEFKERSOX JOXEri & BURTON" CRAIGE were his successors. Mr. Craige was a a native of Rowan, and is well remem bered by many of the older people of the county. Jones was a ruff led -shirt band box young lawyer from Virginia starchy in style, but not well iuaccord with the plain people of this section. A very good essayist, aud in some places might have been popular. But he withdrew. from the Western Carolinian in about a year, and went southwest was editor on a daily in Mobile, Ala., in 1837. Mr. Craige be came sole editor of the Carolinian, hich position he held until May or June, 1833. The great question of Stales' Bights came up in 1832, and the violent asser tion of the riirhts of nullification and se- which threw upon Mr. Fisher, fresh from schools, the responsibility of the position. It is not enough to say that he acquitted him-.'lt" wdl through two political cam paigns, and certainly roeritedi success. But he ret i ret 1 from it at last in disgust, partly, it may be, at the work itself $ but more, because it was a continual drain upon resources not derived frora his arduous labors. The Western Carolinian reached a permanent suspension under Ids hand in 1S43 or '43. The writer cannot undertake to say when Mr. Bingham sold out his paper, "The Yadkin and Catawba Journal," to a young man named Hugh Welsh, of Davie county, aud in whose hands it ex pi red in 1834. TO BE CONTINUED, j 1 cession by South Carolina fired the whole country, but more especially the South. The crreat speech of Daniel Webster! against the right, and Mr. Calhoun's ovenvheling reply in its favor, were the exciting themes in every gathering of Un people. Mr. Craige supported the south ern view of the subject, and of course took sides with Mr. Calhoun, the great southern champion. The ability and zeal displayed by him on this subject alarmed the Union men of the State ; and although they had an able newspaper advocate of their cause in Mr. Lemuel Bingham (who had returned to this place in 1828, tq, combat the Jackson ism of the campaign of that year), yet they succeed ed in establishing another, the Carolina Watchman," in 1832, under the manage-I ment of County Commissioners' Meeting. The County Commissioners met last Mpjiday and the following business was transacted : A public road was ordered to be open ed in Mt. Uila township from a point on the Sherrill's Foad road uear J. K. Goodman's residence to Knox's bridge, on Third creek. The usual allowances were made for out-door paupers and accounts presented for the month of October were orderod paid. The keeper of the poor reported the average number of inmates at the poor house for the month of October to be 18, of which 5 are white and 13 colored, and the expenses of maintaining them was $73.05. C. C. Krider, Sheriff of Bowan county, reported that he had collected $1,300 of the taxes for the year 1889, $S00 of which had been paid to the county treasurer aud $500 of which had been deposited in the Davis & Wiley Bank to the credit of the State. It was ordered that the words " new material," in the last line of section 15 of the order subscribing $61,000 to the Yad kin Bailroad company, be changed to " good steel rails." The finance committee reported that they had examined the County Treas urer's books and found everything all right, with a balance of $4,460.39 in the treasurer's hands. Health of the County. Dr. J. J. Summerell makes the follow ing report for the-month of October to the North Carolina Board of Health : " Malarial fevers have prevailed in some portions. A few cases of typhoid fever have occurred in different parts. The people are slowly waking up to the importance of sanitation that is, now and then a farmer asks information as to the best place for his privy, or his well, or barn-lot, and what should be the dis tances between them. Poor-house is well lighted and kept in fair sanitary condi tion ; most of the bedding is kept clean and free frora vermin. The jail, since the introduction of water-works and sowers for carrying off exeretia, is iu fair condition but often crowded. l OUR tx FALL SLATE. I i B ii Y. M. C. A. Convention.

As stated in a recent issue of the Watchman, the rumors of his being in trouble in London turn out to be untrue and we regret their notice in these columns, as we would not willingly do any man injustice. The following action of the officials of the Sam Christian Company disposes of the matter :. SVM CHRISTIAN GOLD HYDRAULIC, LTD. London, 18th October, 1889. Read letter from Mr. Hambley calling the attention of his Directors to an arti cle headed " In trouble," published in the Carolina Watchman of Oct. 3d, 1889. The Board regret the annoyance which has been caused to Mr. Hamblyby the article headed " In trouble," published in the Carolina Watchman of Oct. 3d, 1889, which is utterly without any foun-d.-ition in fact. Mr. Hambly came to this countrv at the request of the Directors, for the special purpose of discussing with the Board the best method of continuing the development of the Sam Christian Mine, and is. now returning tp Ids posi tion as Managing Director with the full approval of the Board, who have entire confidviue in Mr. Hanibley'? zeal and integrity.

These were hot times in this parts of the State, and the fiery zeal of these two journals, edited by young and impetuous men, fresh from college, contributed very largely to keep it up to fever heat. Mr. Jones had a rather brilliant editorial ca reer of seven years : and although his pa per had acquired a high stand for its learning, sound sense, mature judgment, political integrity and good humor, yen it passed from him under a burden o pecuniary responsibility with which i did not suit him to contend. MAJ. JOHN HEARD, JR., succeeded Mr. Craige as editor of the 'Western Carolinian" in 1833.
