C, where the terrible rail road accident occurred many months ago. It represents the see ne of the tragedy. It shows the hank, one pillar and a por tion of the bridge, and will be used at the coming trial of the alleged perpetrator or tne dastardly acr. The hndge was btiilt by Mr. -Chamberlain, an employee 6f these shops, liud is indeed a fine.jpicce of work. If. von sav tluit this is r. cold and cruel world," your cant is f.ilse. Jlr. F.

Ilcttrr ..ftlai! Fac:iilic, On Monday, the committee on post- office and post roads reported fnyora'.dy to the Scuate a bill providing for free mail delivery in towns and cities of 5XK). or where the revenue amounts to $3,000. If the bill passes Salisbury will soon fall in the line of free delivery towns. Right hero we wish tosiiy that we need better mail facilities on railroads in this section more thau the free delivery of mail. Our people, have long been asking for inpre postal clerks and the papers have b'4en working for'the sx me object. So far it has been in vain, but we arestilj hopeful. It is thought that some pro vision will be made for our relief in the Jtfly appropriations, but to what extent is not known. Night trains will no doubt bo put back on the Western road when summer travel begins, and then wo will need three more clerks between here and Jvnoxville. One clerk will be sufficient on the Yadkin railroad. Few people know how inconvenient the nresent mail arrangement oil the latter road is.

Unknown parties telephoned the chief of police that some masked, men were lurking about the Adr-Mills on Tueday night. The chief immediately dispatched all his forcejexcept one. A few minutes later the night watchman at Rrice's lum ber yard, who had gone to sleep, was aroused by hammering in the office and saw a man working at the safe. He gave an alarm and the burglar, after sending a bullet in the direction of the night wntcir, made his escape. The boird of managers of the orphan age at Barium Springs, that was burned, met in Col.
