The Chamber of Commerce held a called meeting in the halt of tho Y. M. C. A., which will hereafter be the regular place of assejBfb'lage of this body. In the absence of President Thco. F. Kluttx and Vice Presidents W. Smithdeal and Eu gene Johnson, S. F. Lord was called upon to net as chairman pro tern. Jno. A. Boyden stated that the object of tho meeting was to consider the fol lowing proposition : In a short time Capt. Jfewby, in making a preliminary survey for the Roanoko A Southern Railroad. would approach Salisbury j and it had een requested T)y the authorities of the road, that Salisbury, if possible, send an experienced man and one well acquaint ed with the countv and the lav of the , and, to help Capt. Newby in coming into Salisbury. Capt. John A." Ramsay, a civil engineer of experience, had volunteered his ser vices and Mr. Boyden mOved that the tender of Capt. Ramsay's services be accepted and sufficient money from the treasury be allowed for the defraying of his expenses.

Judd, of the Parker Mine, near Biles- ville, Stanly county was robbed of SI, 200 in money and about $2,030 worth of val uablc. jewel ry. Mr. Judd had put the mofiey before starting out for BUesvillc, in a valise, and this valise was. placed tin theTrcar of the buggy or under the seat. It con tained $SO0 in greenback and $10,) in silver, and the jewelry, among which was MrsWudd's gold watch and some costly diamonds. Capt. Judd travels in a top buggy, and the curtains were down when he lefu town last Saturday. When he reached his destination, h found his valise gone! He immediately rjJc back to Salisbury' and notified the police. One horse gave out at Gold Hill, but there he procured another. Capt. Judd remembers passing two negro boys on the road the day die lost the money. His wagon driver, who was some distance behind him, passed the same negroes. One carried something in his hand, covered with a coat. The supposition is that theyjifted the valu able valise from the buggy from behind, unnoticed by Capt. Judd, and made away with it. That Saturday afternoon two negro boys bought pistols in Salis bury and spent money very freely. They took the evening train for Greensboro. When these facts were ascertained, Officer Pool left for Greensboro and Winston, but Hie next heard of the stolen property was the news that a gold watch on which was engraved Capt. Judd's initials had been left with Jeweler Fowlke, at Charlotte, by a negro boy, who was suspicioned by the jeweler, and who escaped before he could be taken by the Charlotte police, who are now on the trail. Railroad Matters. THK ROANOKE AND SOUTHERN. In a talk with some of the directors of the Roanoke and Southern railroad this morning, the World reporter was grati fied to learn that the progress of the road was very satisfactory. The engi neers are surveying the line as rapidly as possible and there is not the least doubt that work on this end of the line will be commenced at an early day. In North and South Carolina the people are anxious to have road extended througo those States, and as soon as the entrance into Roanoke is determined its extension into the South will be indefi nite. According to the views of the gen tlemen talked with, tho road will reach here from the north on Commonwealth avenue, after running down Lick Run for some distance. There arc so many theo ries in regard to this matter that it is very hard to determine where the road will be located. Roanoke World. CAPE FEAR & CINCINNATI R. R. The Leader is in receipt ot the pros pectus of the 'apc Fear & Cincinnati Railroad, which is gotten up neatly, fully illustrated and worth reading. With its terminal at South port this road proposes to run its lines north to Wilmington in ohe direction aud westerly to Conway, S. C. From Conway, S. C, three lines diverge to Georgetown and Charleston, S. C, another to Salisbury, N. C, via Marion, Beiuicttsville, Rockingham, Little Mills and Albemarle. The third to Greenville, S. C, via Florence, Cam den, Winnsboro and Union. The road will have excellent railroad connections with the leading roads of North and South Carolina, without par alleling any. The Cape Fear & Cincin nati Railroad as proposed will prove of great advantage to this section, and will -aid materially in the development of a country now without communication, and when completed will command plenty of business. To Brunswick county and Southport this road would be of great value a4id its building will be looked forward-to with great interest. Col. Morton assures us that Work will soon l.e started upon the constiuction of the road. Southport leader.

The i parties in th uge ure old offenders. Green Goods. The Watchman is rapidly perfecting arrangements by which it will be able to offer a bunch of "greed goods" to each subscriber, if found advantageous. The following shady letter is a part of the correspondence : My Dear Fritfnd: I wrote you rec ently and gavo you full information about my business. I explained to you what a fast, easy and safe money-making business it was. I also told you how you could telegraph me for instructions in order that you could come on here and make a face-to-facc deal, as I always con sider that plan best. I then tohl von if ou could not come on, or did not have $300 to invest, to simply let the matter drop until you heard from mo again. You have done exactly as instructed : you have been guided by mv advice, and, am proud to say, that 1 believe vcu would do me no harm, and would make me a true and honorable agent. In look ing over mv books this tnorninf?. T Mini that I have never sold a dollar's worth of goods in your State, therefore I have concluded to make you the following proposition and you can consider your self a lucky man. It is something I have never done before. Now. if vour affairs ire in such a shape that you cannot well eave home, and you haven't sufficient funds to come lure and invest at my rates, send me in the enclosed envelope (I will be sure and get it) whatever money you can conveniently raise and I will send you goods in proportion at the .same rate as if you invest $300 that is, it you send me SoO I will send you back ten limes the amount, xc. See? My stock is as line as human skill can make them. No man has ever had niiv trouble with my goods, and men all over the country who stand well iu the community arc getting rich in the busi ness in perfect safety. Yes, and no one knows how, too! hen old age reaches you, it will find you with plenty of means, provided you are careful enough so save a portion ot what vou make. They are printed from original plates that were "secured" from the Treasury Department, by a former workman in tho engraving bureau at Washington. They cannot he told from genuine until they work their way back to the Treas ury for redemption, where their true character is then discovered by means of the- 'forged signatures and the serial numbers thereoiu This never happens, however until they have been in circula tion for a long time, and passed through hundred of hands. The government is the only loser, and it being enormously rich, can easily stand the loss. I would advis-j.you to invest all you can on the first deal, yon will never re gret it as you live. Of course, the more money you send, the better it will pay you iu met, it is .to your great advan- tage because on the second deal, and thereafter, I charge -5 per cent. I only mako you the present rate in order to start you and to show you how much money there is in the business, also be cause at the present I have a very largo stock on hand. Sometimes mv stoek runs low, and I have to disappoint my customers by keeeping hcm waiting. Your territory is large and new, and I am very anxious to have some good man like yourself begin work at once, and '"make hay while the sun shines." Now you sec, my friend, you have a grand opportunity before you one that will never come again to make thousands of dollars, in a very quiet and easy way. Get your money in large bills, so that it wont make a bulky letter. Do not reg ister your letter as I will not sign for any registered letters. Any money sent otherwise than the way I have told you I will refuso to receive and you will loose it. I tell you all this for your own good. Kindly remember this distinctly. I mean business. Now, my friend, do not ask me to do business in-any other way, as I shall positively refuse. I have to pay big money for the use of these plates, and I am not in this business for charity or love. In conclusion, to make you doubly safe, and to prove to vou that I am a square white man, I have requested j mv bunkers, with whom I luivn n !rr account, to write you and tell you what kind of a man I am. They, however, do not know what kind of business I am in. In ordering state how many of each denomination you want. If you want them made to look old and worn, I will do it for you. I will send to you new or old, just as you wish. I do not care wheter you accept my proposition or ivot, as I greatly prefer to transact my business in person. If you come here for the goods at my rates (and buy not less than o00 worth) it would please me better than to have you send the money. Should you conclude to come on, and make a face-to-face deal, and invest :?L!00 or more, simply say "Send instructions." Sign your name always as per "pass word" and number given you. Trust ing you will make up your mind to come here instead of remitting, and that you will let me hear from you at once, I am, my dear friend, Very sincerely yours, in honor and friendship, "You Know." P. S. I mentioned herein about en closing a self-addressed envelope as a matter of convenience. But as I am going to remove from the address on the envelope, I respectfully request that you obtain from the postoflice a stamped en velope and address the same with pen and ink as below. Furthermore, in order to avoid any delay or errors, I request that you sign your full name and postoflice address hereafter to all letters. This; is Very important. So don't forget it! Seal your letter securely and address as fol lows: Joseph If. 'Arthur, 74 James St., New York. We baye written to .Mr. Arthur for "instructions" and hope to be able to lay his rascally reply before our readers next week, in which he makes us his "true and honorable agent," for the sale of his precious goods. Mr. Arthur's true name is prob.-.biy O'Flahcrty; just as it will be Dennis if we can arrange the conversion, in the meantime we will Try to find out where, when and under what circumstances he proposes to knock "us on the head or swap us a brick for $J00. Murder in Davidson. Lexington, July 14. Our county has to record another murder. Particulars, as I have learned them, arc as follows: It seems that some week or ten days ago a party of young men were in the Yad kin river bathing. This was in Boone township, in what is known as the Horse Shoe Neck neighborhood, some twelve or fourteen miles west of Lexington, in Davidson county. While the party were in the river, Robert Smith and Thomas Sharp commenced throwing mud on each on each other in a playful manner but finally they got mad and had a fight, in which it is said Sharp got the best of it. Nothing more was I hough t of the matter uutil Friday, the 11th iut., when Sharp was at old man Dcdmond's house, where : Smith then staying. Sharp was sitting i on the porch when Smith came up, and commenced abusing him. Sharp begged ' Wtta to go away and let him alone, as he did not want to have anv diflieultv. Smith then entered the house, went to his room and got his pistol, came out and struck sharp on the head with it, knocking him down. Then, while he was down, deliberately shot him throutrh the stomach, from the effects of which he died .Saturday night. lhe deceased, Thomas Sharp, was the son of Richmond Sharp, one of David- son county's best river farmers. He was well educated, and of exceptionally irood ! ir :.i i. 4.i. for the ministry. lie had attended I school at Trinity Colleire. and rccenilv returned irom a two year s course at Chapel Hill. Smith has succeeded in making his es cape. The Modern Tobacco Barn Company of High Point has accepted a proposition to move their plant to Oxford. This is a valuable acquisition.
