Entered as second-class matter Jan.
19th, 1905, at the post office at Salis
bury, N. a, under the act of Congress
of March 3rd. 187.
Salisbury, N. 0., Sept. 20, 1905.
Last week's edition of the jLex
ington Dispatch was of consider
able interest "Most 6t its space
was given to. a. wxite-np of Thom
asville, which is termed "The Tar
Heel Chair T6Wn." The paper
contains many, half-tone cuts,! and
is altogether- . a. credit to both
Thomasyille and the efforts of the
Dispatch.
Mr. Carnegie has consented to
give $12,500 to Livingston Col
lege, a colored institution of this
State. The gift is in fee simple,
and is not adorned with the strings
that usually accompany donations
of this nature. Charlotte News.
It would have been so much
nicer if the News had said "of
Salisbury."
MI have made another angel for
heaven," said a religious fanatic
in Montreal, Can , after coming
out of the room where he had
strangled his five-year-old daugh
ter, to death. He is in the hands
of scientists for examination. It
might nDt be amiss for the scient?
ists to also examine into the doc
trines to which he subscribed. aB
much of our modern religion is
as productive of fanaticism as
were some of the ancient forms,
As noted in our last issue,-an
effort is to be made to secure a
pardon for Thomas and Chalmers
White, the murderers of RusBell
Shorrill. We have no fear that
such an effort will prove success
full, therefore they had just as
well decide to serve the very light
sentence (six years) imposed by
the court, as, after having done
this, they will still owe justice a
considerable balance. They were
.deliberate in their crime, and, if
honest in their contentions, should
meet the requirements of the law
without begging favors.
A man got on a north-bound
train at Charlotte a few days ago
and remarked that prohibition was
a great thing, and that at that
very moment he was dry as dry.
But when the conductor came
around later and called for the
man's ticket, his actions betrayed
the fact that he was anything else
but dry ; tHat he had imbibed moat
liberally, of the most familiar
j nice. "Where , to ? " asked the
conductor, when this man passed
his mileage book. fTo h-l," an
swered the fnebriated passenger.
"You get off at, Salisbury,' ' said
the conductor. Statesville Land
mark. Sensible conductor. Put him off
at the best place on the line. Why,
he might have carried out his
threat, or worse, gone to -.
'Men Marked to Die, Social
ists Issue Proclamations" This
is the .heading to a telegraphic
item , in .the Salisbury Post, and
doubtless-' similar heads are over
the same statement in other pa
pers, "line possibility is that this
statement conveys as great a false
hood ar the one about the Social
ist rebellion in St. Petersburg lid
by Priest Gopon, which was a lie
out of the whole cloth. Socialises
oppose the Anarchists in this mat
ter on the ground that itresults
in evil, bringing on greater op
pression, I and that to kill one ty
rant only ushers in another, who,
in ""the very nature of things8, will
use greater suppressive powers, if
possible. The press reports from
Russia, like those from other mon
archies (and even those from the
Philippines), being censored by
government officials, are totally
unreliable. 2
. It is a reat pleasure toone bav-n
ing been away from : Salisbury for
several months to return and find
pur excellent street-car line in op
eration. It also gives ona much
pleasure to take, , a spin on the
cars. Not for the purpose of mak
ing the least ripple of discord
would we say an vthing unpleas
ant, but, for the purpose of add
ing safety and contentment to
those using the cars, we would
suggest that the motormen look
ahead more and back in the cars
less. '
Blowing or Breathing Wells.
The United States Geological
Survey has on hand the investiga
tion of ourious phenomena known
as ' blowing " or 11 breathing ' '
wells. In the course of collecting
well records the hydrologists of
the survey have observed many
wells that emit currents of air
with more or less force, somtimes
accompanied by a whistling sound
which can be heard for a long dis
tance. The best-known examples of this
type of well are found throughout
the State of Nebraska. Blowing
wells are also known to occur in
Rapides parish in southern Lou
isiana. The force of the air cur
rent in one of the Louisiana wells
is sufficient to keep a man's hat
suspended above it.
The cause of such phenomena is
mainly due to changes in atmos
pheric pressure or to changes in
temperature. During the progress
of a low-barometer storm over
these, regions, the air is expelled
from the- blowing wells. With a
rising barometer the blowing be
comes rapidly less, until the cur
rent is finally reversed. Differ-
- V
ences in the temperature of the
surface air and the air in the
soil also produces similar effects.
When the interstices between the
grains of sand, gravel, etc., in
which the well is driven are filled
with water, the phenomena of
blowing is much less noticeable.
The Survey will welcome any in
formation from well-owners and
drillers relating to these wells.

A returned traveler who spent
half of his holiday in a tour of
Ireland brought back a sample of
the happy-go-lucky wit of the
Irish "jarvey," or driver. In &
breakneck race down a hill he
suddenly realized that the spirit
ed Irish mare was running away.
"Pull her up 1" he shouted ex
citedly. 4Hold tight, your honor," re
turned the jarvey, easily.
"Pull her up 1" again command
ed the traveler, making a grab for
the reins. .- j .
"For your life don't touch the
rins," the jarvey answered, with-
si
re,
out tightening his grip.
