The WATCH MAN is read by more people and they are learning something about this city and surrounding country. The papvr g;es to about 2'A postoijices every week wliicJi is sufficient evidence to prove tiiat; itcovers, to-hon;e degree, a large territory.

Mr. McCanless w;:sdiprfn in Irtdeil ccunty in 1S4- He has lived in Salisbury and Rowan county since his youth. For several years he was sujipmUelidcnt of the Dunn's Moun tain luinniMg property, owned by Mr. W. F. Baekley,- of New" York still. -superiiiiendent, but mining opera tions are nut carried on now.

The Reformed Chinch in North Caro lina has never advertised its existence, and is therefore little known to thegeuera! public.

In Ntrth Carolina hs, membership numbers about 4,000 ami 'is confined to the counties be tween Alamance and Burke and Watauga.

Tiiere is but little Wviillii in the Reformed Chmvh.hul its members as a rule are honest, isidus dustrious and pious. They take a deep interest in education and ow.n ami con trol some of the best educational institu tions in the country, and many of its ministers shine among the brightest lu minaries of l he Protectant Church The church more than ever before, in this coi;n;r.v,is taking its place by tkesi.de of the cities and towns, and will therefore he better known to the reading public than heretofore.

M. Weekly Cri BviBetit:. Raleigh, X. C. May 22. The reports of correspondents of the Weekly Wea't her Crop Bulie:iu issued by the North Carolina I x peri mem t Sta tion and State Weather Service for the week ending Friday, May 221, loDl, show the weather conditions during t he past week have been v ry fayor.dne, and that crops have generally improved somewhat as well as the spirits of the farmers. Occasional thowers fell timing the week, which were very beneficial, but the rain-fall was below the average aiitl more rain is needed, especially in the B.istern District. Tne temperature has been below the average, the nigtits particularly, being too coo!. The de ficiency in temperature for the Stale during the week amounts to over 20 degrees. Ars regards the condition of etops, it -will fc seen that reports are unanimous as to t lie poor stand of cotton, and generally also of ccm. Many farm ers ave had to replant cottonsand -o nc are doing it now ; others are plow -big up land and planting corn.br peas instead of cotton. In fact, farmers are .sullen ng from undue haste in planting on soil not fully prepared. The week was very favorable for transplanting to bacco, in w hich rapid progress has been made. There are no complaints about scarcity of plants. The wheat and oat crops are reported in fair condition. Warm 'eather, especially varm nights, arc greatly needed, with oie ..siunal showers.

Several parties living in different portions of the State have asked I hat tin Geological Survey purchase a diamond drill, to be u-ed in making deep borings for investigating the extent and value of mineral deposits, building stones, and have olferi d to co-operate with the survey in bearing the expense of making these borings. It is the object of the Survey to do everything possible to aid in making known and developing the mineral and other resourcefoi the Stati; and but for the heavy expense of pur chasing" and opeiating the drill there would be no doubt as to the wisdom of our making use of this important means of exploration, which on account of its cost but lew geological surveys have tried. The cost of operating one drill continu ously would require the entire appropri ation for the survey; and that without accomplishing a very large part of the work for which the survey 'was estab lished. And the only basis on which it seems practicable for the survey is that of liberal e - )peration by parties on whose lands borings are to be made. And this but fair as tliese parties are the ones to be most benefited bv the boring. .... . It will be we:l, before deciding on the purchase of a drill, that tire State geolo gist be informed as to the probable num ier of pai ties who rnav desire to com- oete in this work on the basis stated be low. The cost of a diamond drill which w ill bore to a depth of 700 feet including engine ami complete equipment, is from 0,000 to 8o,o00. i o operate the d. il.l requires the services of two, and at times, of three, trained men who are paid usually about $B $2 and$l pel day, respectively. Then there is the considerable cost of "dia monds" which set in the lower end of the driil-tube do the cutting (boring); the cost of fuel, ami of traupcrting the ma chinery from place to place. ' In fairly sott rock like the sand atones and shales of a coal formation, the rate of boring is 10 to 15 feet per day; and the cost, in ciuding the above named items, varies from 1 to per foot, averaging :r2 to ',' per foot. At 2.50 per foot a boring 100 teet doscp would cost 250; ami one 500 feet deep would cost $1,250. I:i harder rock the cost is greater; and often the breaking of "diamond?"' adds much to the expense. The diamond drill consists of a tube or hollow rod ol' iron, made in sections. In the lower end of tiie low er section are set three rows of diamond.-; and this tube is revolved rapidly by the machin ery on the ground. As the diamonds cut their way downward the rock cutting (powdei) ore washed out by a current of water forcdbtlown inside and which flovs up outside tiie drill tube, inside this tube is also a core of solid rock which when taken out shows tjie exact character and thickness of rock or min eral passed through. Tne drill will be especially useful in prospecli ng for coal, ouilding stone3 and iron ore-; ami under some circumstances for other mineral de posits. It seems !i.;e an expensive means of expiorat ion, but it, is cheaper than any ether method which lurnBhis equally good re-nut-. Parties m tne state who desire to nave with boiir.iis mad.' iuvc now to contract adrii! comjiany in i'en a y 1 vania or ol her distant point, pay i ransportat ini botli ways, pay all expensesj-nnd ngootl prolit to i he com)au ; ami besides this they nave to pay for the si r v ices of a geolo gist 10 io SP.K) per day for all examina tion and report on the results. The plan of co-operation proposed is that the Stale survey own tiie drill for occasional use of its general w ork w hen parties desire special boring made on their prone: tv and make application accordingly, the survey will decide as to the wi-dom of making the boring, as to the location of the boring, .and as to the value of the results, all fre of charge; and the survey will al-o use the drill in making the bearing as desired, the said parties paying the aetural cost of trans portation ami of making the boring, as enumerate-1 above. Paities in the State who may wish borings made on such a basis of co-operation will please notify the State geolo gist, at Raleigh, on or before June 12th. J. A. Hoi. mi:.-, State Geologist.

Our farmers aie Badly scared abort their cotton. Some are planting over while others are running around and raking. The prospect is not as i a 1 as a treat manv thought W e sav let it alone a lew davs and it will come up itself. There is a great deal of sickness at pn sent, and in fact several deaths have occurred quite recently. Whooping cough with other diseases are the cause. We are very sorry that Mr. Binn has resigned as County Superintendent, but njoi c that such au able man as Prof. Kizer can be induced to take his place. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Teachers Institutes where I found him very popular. We urge on the magistrates and com missioners the importance o."tliiseleetioii i,nd hope they will all come out and elect the right man. Rowan Ccun'y holds the banner and we shall not only keep our place but advance. If a live energetic man is elected we can oped advancement, if not we can expect the reverse. Snne think a Superintendent is oilm an advantage to the teachers, but bear in.miiid that most of otir best teachers have State License and have very little to do with County Superinte ulents. It i.s the people that receive the benefit Alliance men may fight trusts, combines and bad legislation but unless you edu cate your children it is not worth a copper. The miblic school is our only hope to educate the poor children and make use death among our children.
