W. C. BlackmerjEsq., Chairman of the
Democratic Execiti'e Committee has
issued a call for a Convention of the Dem
ocratic voters to meet in their respect
wards on the evening of the 20th of
April, 1S93, at 8 o'clock p. jn., for the
purpose of nominating a mayor and a
board of town commissioners. The meet

Court House; Southward at Meroney's

for the Eastward at Mayor's office
Messrs. James and Harris Kelly, father
and son, from El Dorado, Montgomery
county, under one of life's peculiar cir
cumstances, married Levina and Mary
Tucker, sisters, some years ago. Last
year both moved their families to this
city, and siuce' their arrival here they
have been iu the employment of the Sal
isbury Cotton Mills. Two months ago
the wife of the father died, and, ouly a
week after the other sister Mary the
wife of the son died. On last Friday
tlie lather, Jaibes Kelly, also passed over
the dark, river, every one of whom were
victims of heart-dropsy. And yet the
dark atuje! seems not satisfied, for Dora,
a fourth member of this fated family,
daughter of- Harris Kelly, is seriously
sick Wit li the same disease, and as it is
incurable she, too will soon be called to
join the others'over yonder." Such in
cidents occur during contagious disea
ses, but this, case is one of rare peculiari
ty, and in our recollection is one with
out a parallel.
Elsewhere, in thU paper will be found
an extract from a discourse by Be v. J. It.
Moore, of Winston, u the subject of
temperance. Of course we do not en-
dof.e his strictures on the legislature for
failing to do what nobody expected it to
do pass a prohibition law. But the
extract, outside of its politieal allusions,
meets our hearty endorsement. The
Watciiman has been a local-optionist for
thirty years that the writer knows of; it
is a local-optionist still, and will be one
so long as there is a saloon in Salis
bury. We believe that the open saloon
is a curse to every community wherever
it exi&ts, and every community ought to
decide for itself whether it will tolerate
the curse. The banishment of the saloon
is not properly a political matter;, at any
rate we must not be asked to leave the
Democratic party to join the Prohibition
party. Good men, conservative, think
mg men of all parties aud religions
ought to combine against an enemy
whose batmen flaunt nothiug but wasted
want, woe an enemy that does a world

There was a meeting last Tuesday

The meetiug materialized. The hal
was packed. There "was scarcely stand

equally divided between whites and
blacks. Dr. Rumple presided a3 chair
man. Mr. I. II. Foust opened with a
short but strong and earnest address,
6tating his position on this great moral
question and outlining the, plans and
purposes oi the temperance people.
These arfc to present a properly signed
petition to the county commissioners,
have them order an election on. the sa
loon question, and then go into the
fight. Mr. Foust then gave way, intro
ducing Dr. Price, of Livingstone Colleger
Dr. Price made a longer talk, and , was
listened to with close-attention by au au

treatment of the subject. Although he
said nothing new it is hard to say any

was decidedly good. - It convinced the
mind, stirred the conscience, and touched
the heart. He .said that if society,

Remarkable Convulsion of Nature.
Panama, March 24. A tremendously des
tructive pheuomenon has occured in the de
partment of Cauca in the republic of Colom
bia. The volcano of Satara has been uu-
usually active, and the people of that region
have been greatly excited by the rumbling of
the earth and the extraordinary violence of
the volcanic eruptions. Suddenly, while the
vole;ino was belching fortli lire and smoke to
a trreat hei&rht, the earth began to shake as if
a most violent convulsion was in progress, and
the mountain ridge called Cruz Loma sudden
13' sank along its entire extension, ine in
habitants in the vicinity who had a chance to
escape fled in terror from the scene, and not
too soon, because the sunken ridge dammed
up three rivers, and added devastation to the
terrors of the earthquake aud volcano. Twelve
persons are known to have perished, and many
cattle wer destroyed. More destruction is
feared, as the rivers, whose usual channels
are obstructed, are rising rapidly; ureal
suffering prevails in Cauca. usually a most
flourishing department of Colombia, and many
people ore starving owing to the failure of the
crops, and this new aud unexpected calamity
has added greatly to the general wretchedness.

vote stood SO ballots from Ministers
