We -oppose every one who attended the cir cus remember the women in question and a number of our readers have cause to remember the man as he is the one that run the "shell and gift enterprise." The Methodists are closing up the busi nees of the year preparatory to making their annual report to conference, which meets at Greensboro, Nov. 27. The build ing and paying for a new parsonage, a home for their preacher which does them credit will be included in the report. It is the almost unanimous desire of that congregation, as well as the community generally that the present pastor, Rev. Mr. Byrd, be returned to them. Salisbury and community is so inti mately connnected with the history f the times of the Revolution of America, the framing of the Slate Constitution subse quently, etc., that we hope some interest will be manifested in the approaching centennial at Fayettcville (21st, 22d and 23d inst,) and that a large representative delegation from both the town aud county will be represented and partici pate in the ceremonies of the occasion. Death of Col. Rhett. Col. Alfred Rhet, one of the most prom inet figures in the war history 5t S. C, died at Charleston on the 12th instant He commanded the CopfederilteHroops in Fort Sumter, during'the waf, till Col. Gilmer and the Union troops made it untenable Tor artillery and when the infantry relieved him. In 1862 he fought a duel with his Colonel, Ransom -Calhoun, and killed him. The duel grew out of the bombardment of Fort Sumter, in April 1861. " Rhett was in charge of the battery which fired red hot shut into Fort Sum ter, and setting fire to the barracksom pelled Anderson to sui render, Calhoun spoke rather harshly to Rhett about this, and oat of his criticism grew the quarrel which resulted in the duel: Rhett at the close of the war commanded the reg ular forces of the State, and was captured at the b title of Bentenvillc, the last bat tle of the war. Pick-pDckats and IIoaey-saatelisr3. Mr. Editor: In your last issue 3-ou mentioned that there .were pick-pockets in town on the occasion of the last show. Yes, and mtincy-snatchers, as well. On the day prior to the show, Townly Dorsey, colored, sold at Lud wick's gin some cotton for another parly. On Showdi'-y he was standing about in tiie crowd looking lor the person he sold the cotton tor, intending to hand him over the money. In tiie meantime a show man came to him and ollered to hire hi in to put up a few notices, for which he pro posed to pay him fifty cents. The offer was readily accepted by Townly, and the may pretended to look for change to pay him, but said he had nothing but larger hills, &c, whereupon Townly nulled out his purse, containing $9.15 the cotton money of another person. As quick as thought the showman snatched it out of his hand and disappeared in the crowd, and that was the end of it. But he had the cotton money to pay, all the same. Another instance. Mr. R. L. Cook told me that he was standing in the crowd that day when one of the showmen came to him with a little bag full of sil ver coin in his baud, and asked him ifjie would excdiange him greenbacks for it. Mr. Cook says he could have exchanged for a portion of it, but suspecting his in tentions, lie declined to accommodate him. When will the people cease to run after and patronize such scoundaels? Vvr.

A Great Find, Gold represents concentrated wealth. hence the finding of large quantities of the precious metal is the best of news in a purely worldly sense. Mr. Carter, a gentlemen living in Montgomery county, came to Salisbury, last week and reported most wonderful , stories of a big find of gold near his home, saying that over a bushel had been taken out m the last four weeks. The statement seemed so fabulous that before giving it to the worjd we concluded to send a representative down to the place (it being only.ihirty-five miles) and find out the facts which are as follows and which we can safely vouch for: The discovery was made on a piece of land controlled by Mr. P. C. Saunders, but which belonged to a brother in Texas. The discovery was made accidently by a young man who was out turkey hunting, and work was at once begun in washing the surface. While this was being done three little stringers or veins were un covered which were nearly all gold. The find was kept quiet as long as possible, but when it became generally known the brother was telegraphed for, and he re plied to stop the work at once until his j arrival. Our representative happened on the ground at a very inopportune time, being only a few hours after the hands had been ordered to stop work, and for this reason could not see the work in progress but from interviews hd with the men, and from what he saw he does not hesitate in saying that Mr. Carter's statement in regard to the bushel was correct. About half of this gold was taken out of the top surface and the remainder from three parallel stringers or veins about eight feet apart and about one-half inch in thickness. Two of these veins have been sunk to the depth of about 20 feet, while the other has a depth of only a few feet. The people in the neighborhood are all very much excited over the find, and very naturally so. They now talk of gold by the pound, while heretofore it was only by the grain. Our representative was told by several parties, whom he knew and had confi dence in, that on the afternoon of the last day they worked that one man took out with only a pick, aud in a very short time, probably two hours, over 2,000 pennyweights of gold; that two young men, Morris ami Cornelison, washed out in a day and a half over ten and one-half pounds of gold; that one man got permission to work on the tail ings, and rocked out 42 pennyweights in three rockerfulls, and was then stopped. Many other stories of a like ki:id were told, which for lack of space we omit. Our representative, who is a practical miner, offered $10 for the privilege of working two hours, but was asked $50 for that privilege. All this was learned on the ground, aud we are satisfied that it is as near cor rect as is possible to get at the facts. The property is situated irrn gold-bear ing belt, extending many miles, i:i which large quantities of gold have been found in the creeks and gulches, and there are thousands of places in the neighborhood where the outside indications are better for gold than where this was found. Other late finds our representative heard of in the same neighborhood, no tably of which were those of a darkey who alone took out over $1,000 in less than two weeks, and that of the Nail land, on w hich big finds had been made, one nugget weighing over a pound all within the past month. GRAPHITE MINING. Mr. Geo. Emeriek, of Philadelphia, has visited the graphite deposits -of Wake county, and will in all probability open them in a short time for tlte purpose of supplying the market with this material. The graphite beds are extensive and .the material in parts of the mass is first grade. As long ago as 1825, Prof. Olm stead, at that time State Geologist., .re ported upon the extent and value of this deposit, and his report has been fully verified by subsequent exploration. The feature of this enterprise, which so pleases the Watchman, is that it is to be actual work, mining for legitimate re sults, antl in no sense speculation. Spec ulative operations by both American and foreign companies, has done North Caro lina vastly more harm than good. This paper has always sought to encourage the one and expose the other. A Wadesboro Sensation. Wadesboro, N. C, Nov. 9. There is much excitemeut here over the sudden death of Joseph A. Morton, last Satur day. Last fall Bruner & Allen made an assignment one morning after 7,000 had been stolen from their safe the night be fore. It was suspected at the time that there was something wrong, but nothing had been heard of the affair until lately. About two weeks ago Morton, who was converted by Leith a few months ago, went before a magistrate and told the name of the person who had been hired to rob the safe of Bruner & Allen, Be fore Morton died he drank some ginger ale and whisky which he got from a drug store in Wadesboro, and the theory is that it was poisoned. A post mortem examination was made and the stomach was taken out and sent to the State chemist at Raleigh for analysis. Of course it is not definitely known as yet whether or not Morton was poisoned, and if so, who were the perpetrators of the awful deed, but the community is greatly aroused and the people have their strong suspicions. A few days will prob ably bring forth more developments. It is stated that the company operating the Egypt coal mine has at last Micceeded in having the water pumped out of the four hundred foot shaft, and is now in a fair way to begin the work of mining with vigor. It is understood that a large force of miners will be put to work and kept constantly employed throughout the winter, and it is said that this coal, which is of very superior quality, will be put upon the market at between three and four dollars a ton. Montgomery 17-dettc. fTovezntcr Cotton News. Washington, Nov. 11. The Novem ber cotton returns of the Deportment of Agriculture show remarkable variations in conditions in different localities. . In North Carolina and Virginia the season has been veiy short and excessive ly wet, and the cotton seriously injured by long continued rains in the season of blossoming. Tennessee reports injury to the crop by wet wether, lack of culti vation, and early frosts during the past month. In these States the crop is ranch worse than that of last year. Elsewhere the crop is comparatively late, especially from South Carolina to Alabama, with a large growth of weeds, lu the low lauds, early frosts have injur ed the crop east of the Mississippi, while uplands in the southern belt are still green. We-t of the Mississippi in a large portion of the area, there has been no frost- The weather for picking has beeu re markably favorable, assuring the gather ing without waste of all that is opened, in excellent condition. The fibre is grad ing comparatively high. Notwithstanding the adverso condi tions arising from the abnormal distribu tion of the moisture affecting cultivation, growth aud fruitage, tlmjjwfcifS lions of the yield per acreJijTunty correspond ents are about three per cent, higher than last year. So much still depends on future killing frosts and sunny weather for opening and gathering, that the result cannot be known very closely until after Christmas. There has not been any severe general loss by the caterpillar and the boll worm, though the damage in some localities has been serious. THE CORN CROP. The official returns make the rate of production of corn a full average slightly above 26 bushels per acre, and the qual ity medium, relatively low ou the Atlan tic coast from New York southward, and and high west of the Mississippi, The returns of potatoes make the aver age yield 76 bushels per acre. The gen erl yield for tobacco is 665 pound per acre. Great Loss of Cattle Feared, on Ac- count of the Snow. Clayton, N. Mm Nov. 9. The storm abated yesterday and for the first time in niue days the sun shone. While no authentic reports have been received concerning loss of life, reports come from inland that several Mexican herders were frozen on Leon, a small creek twen ty miles south of town. No communica tion has been had directly, ami the mails from seven different postoffices inland have not arrived. Some apprehension is felt concerning the mail drivers who should have rerehed Clayton Tuesday evening, but has not as yet appeared. Telegrams from Grande last night give another ease of freezing, that of Joe Mor ton, a cowboy who was employed with others in holding a herd of cattle near that point. The depth of snow cannot be correctly estimated. The train men report much diffiulty in different cuts, which in some plaees are completely fill ed with dead cattle and sheep. Old cow men say that with the present depth of snow, stock will be unable to live for any length of time, and unless the cold weath er moderates and the crust which has formed on the snow loosens, the mortal ity among cattle will be tremendous. Clarendon, Tex., Nov. 9. The deep est snow that has fallen here in 12 years is on the ground now. It is six inches deep. All trains on the Fc. Worth and Denver blockaded north of here, and there are eight engines in the snowdrifts 75 miles northwest of this place. The drifts are nine feet deep. This is the worst snow storm that has ever visited the Pan Handle. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 9. Dispatch es from southern and western Kansas ilivc the details of a fierce snow storm that raged there yesterday. The snow, hail and sleet fell thick, and was driven so fiercely by the wind that in many places people did not even dare to ven ture out of doors. Trains are somewhat delayed, though some hav been aband oned. VanderbiIVs Froperty. Work has been started on the Vander bilt property. Roaels are being survey ed and constructed, and groves are being planted. All of the millionaire's em- j ployes are busily employed in turning j the 5,000 acres of land into a park which will not only be a delight to the resi dents of Ashevillc themselves, but will draw many visitors to this place which Ashe vi lie would not otherwise have seen. All the natural beauties of this property will be enhanced by an art which draws its chief value from its close imitation of nature. The very latest and most im proved methods of landscape gardening will be employed to beautify and adorn it. The numerous mountain brooks will furnish a water supply to which many a small lake, nestling among the hills, will owe its origin. Drives will intersect the property iu all directions, now winding over hill and dale, now entangling them selves in labyrinthine mazes. Over 100 miles of drives are saiel to have been planned. Yes, the project is now well under way. It was only the day before yester day that Yanderbilt's engineer was in the city to obtain the services of a foreman to oversee the squads of men who have been put to work to remove the top soil to the depth of from eight to twelve inches, from fourteen acres of land, pre paratory to grading it. AsheviUe Citizen. A Doubb Tragedy. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 8. Col. Wil liam Cassius Goodloc, a member of the national republican committee and col lector of the seventh internal revenue district, stabbed and killed Col. A. M. Swope, a prominent republican,- at Lex ington, at 1:45 p. m. to-day. Goodloe was shot and fatally wounded. The affray occurred in the lobby of the new government building, aud grew out of a trouble the two men had nearly two years ago. The men met and hot words passed between them, when Goodloe drew a bowic knife and slashed Swope frightfully in several places. Swope drew a pistol and shot Goodloe in the abdomen. The doctors think he will die. Both men drew their weapons at the same time. Goodloe belongs to one of the oldest and best families of the State. Col. Swope was one of Kentucky's most prominent republicans, and was formerly collector of internal revenue for this district. Re-elected President. Chicago, Nov. 11. Miss Frances E. Willard was re-elected president of the National Woman's Christian Temper ance Union this morning. The vote was practically unanimous with an informal ballot. But nine votes were cast for Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, of Iowa, who repre sents the non-partisan clement in the convention. These nine votes came from Iowa, Vermont and Pennsylvania. OUR l FALL SLATE.
