BOYS BREAK UP MASONTfl MTCTCTTNO.
Some mischievous boys, desirous
of seeing the Masonic goat, which
they thought had horns at both
ends, climbed up to the roof of
the Wachovia buildings , by means
of a ladder and so got over the
room where the Masons were in
session a few days since. The
boys were heard, of course, as the
Masons are never caught nap
ping, and are strenuously opposed
to letting their secret work get
out, had to discontinue their pro
ceedings and adjourn.
The conduct of these boys cre
ated quite a sensation in the com
munity, not altogether unmixed
with indignation ; and on Monday
evening the boys were arrested on
tly& charge of trespass and tried
before Justice Pethel, who fined
them $15 each. , . ,
Some of the boys were badly
scared up, and well they might be,
for it is both unlawful and danger
ous for the uninitiated eye to look
the sacred goat in the face and be
hold the secret process of making
onus, witnput straw, xne proDa
bilities are that the curiosity of
the boys was more than satisfied,
and that they will nevermore be
guilty of prying into veiled "mys
teries. YOUNG MAN HAS FOOT CUT OFF.
At a late hour last Friday night
1 !il j g mi 1
Mr. Beaver, a car-inspector at the
Southern yards, while engaged in
his work had his, foot cut off by a
cr being backed and run over
him. He was taken to the White-head-Stokes
Sanatorium for treat
ment. Mr. Beaver is a young married
man, and has several childrenand
being a working man, the loss ef a
limb is particularly unfortunate,
Mr. Beaver went from the county
to take work with the Southern
about five years ago, and has benn
with it ever since.
MINOR MENTION.
The work of macadamizing LoDg
street in East Spencer is progress
ing slowly but perceptibly. The
work in the corporate limits is
about one-third completed.
The blowing of whistles and
ringing of bells at 2 a. m. Tues
day was caused by a small out
break of fire in the wash-house of
the Southern shops. The damage
was insignificant.
The concert given last week by
the Daily Quartette was well at
tended and highly enjoyed by the
residents of the two Spencers. A
number of Salisbury lovers of mu
sic were also in attendance.
A public scale is being erected
on Third street where it intersects
with Salisbury avenue. This will
prove a great benefit and conveni
ence to both the farmers who sell
hay, etc., here and to the purchas
ers thereof, and will be appieci
ated accordingly.
The first car-load of pipe for
the water works was received on
the night of the 13th and placed
the next day. The Water-works
Co. will begin boring the wells in
a few days and will push the con
struction of the water system to
an early conclusion.
Artesian Waters near Wilmington, N.
o
In response to requests from
the business interests of Wilming
ton, N. C, plans have been made
by the United States Geological
Survey for the investigation of
the artesian water supply in that
vicinity. In this rapidly-growing
city there is great need of an ad e
mate supply of pure water" for
drinking purposes and of a large
quantity of water suflScieuly pure
for' industrial uses. The special
attention of survev officials will
be directed to the depth of the
water-bearing strata, the quantity
and head of water which can be
obtained, as well as its suitability
for domestic purposes and for use
in boilers and in the industrial
arts.
Situated as it is on Cape Fear
River, Wilmington is the natural
outlet for the rice interests of that
region. In other parts of the State
the production of rice has been
immensely increased by the abund
ant water supply obtainable from
artesian wells, and there seems to
be no reason why the same success
should not attend the use of arte
sian waters at Wilmington. The
cost of sinking the wells is unim
portant when compared with the
results obtained from the use of
the increased supply of pure wa
ter. Wilmington lies on the outer
edge of the Atlantic coastal plain.
The geologic formations of this
plain consist of unconsolidated
beds of sand, which outcrop in the
vicinity of the fall lines of the riv
ers and then gradually dip sea
ward beneath later beds. The out
crop of porous strata, distributed
over large areas, serve as a collect
ing ground for the water. When
absorbed the water follows the dip
of the strata seaward. Wells have
been successfully drilled in these
strata at ever-increasing depths as
one passes seaward over the coastal
plain.
The results obtained from drill
ing in New Jersey, Maryland and
Georgia give the impression that
an abundant water supply may
also be obtained in the coastal
plain deposits of southern North
Carolina.
The investigation will be con
ducted by Mr. M. L. Puller, of the
United States Geological Survey
of North Carolina.
Livingood The death of Mrs.
Annie Livingood took place Mon
day night at 11 o'clock. Mrs. Liv
ingood was a native of Davie coun
ty, coming here abcut seven years
ago from Jerusalem. She has been
making her home with her son, H.
S. Livingood, 318 South Lee street,
he being her only child. The fu
neral and interment took place
this morning at Cherry Hill, Da
vie county, Rev. W..H. Wilson of
ficiating, Mrs. Livingood was one
of those noble, self-sacrificing wo
men whose death will be hard to
reconcile.
Shuping. Ransom Shuping, a
young man of the county, after au
illnees of about a week, died Sun
day afternoon at the residence of

Salisbury. Mr. Shuping was just
entering the stage of manhood,

of Mrs. Isaac E. Haviland, in New

of age, and leaves to mourn her
departure a husband, two sisters
(Mrs. Lena Shober-Furchin and
Mrs. A. H. Boyden, and two broth
