The Democrats of this vicinity, while disappointed, nevertheless trust that Mr. Kitchen may be able to make another appointment here which sickness will notinter- ere with. More Democratic Clubs. The leaven is working and the people are showing their interest n the county campaign. The la test from the field is the forming of two more D jmocratic clnbs.

Struck by an automobile driven by Chauffeur Scheuteur at the corner of Trade and Tryon at the western end of the square last night about 7 o'clock Rev. Harrie Mallinckrodt was knocked down and dragged for perhaps ten feet beneath the car. The machine was brought to a stop in a few seconds and bystanders quickly lilted the car from the prostrate minister, who was unable to move in his uncomfortable position He was assisted into the Bur-well-Dunn drug store a few feet away, where his injuries proved to be not serious. He was rather badly bruised about 1 1 1 "I . -11 tne snouiaers ana nacK, but was entirely himself in a few minutes ivir. ManincKroat was crossing Trade, going northward. The machine, owned by Norman H Johnson, who was not in it, was headed down West Trade. Each saw the other but too late and there was no time for either to get out of the way. Mr. Mallin ckrodt's many friends are rejoic ed that the consequences were not more serious, as they might have been. Charlotte Observer, 24th. Thiee negro boys were the un willing recipients of a sound thrashing in the mayor's court yesterday. Capt. Cauble acted as A- - m i executioner, ine onense was petty thieving and the whipping was administered with the consent of the parents. , A. L. Smoot and A. B. Saleeby organized a tfaraca class at GaB fconia Sunday. Bound Over to Court. George Murphy our account of whose latest escapade appeared in the Watchman of last week, had a preliminary hearing- in the Mayor's court last Wednesday. The prisoner waived examina tion. He was bound over to court under a bond of $500, this being afterward increased to $1000. The case will doubtless come up at the next term of Rowan Su perior court, but will hardly be disposed of at that time. Democratic Club Organized. During- the campaign a number of Democratic clubs have been organized in different sections of the county. The latest we have heard of is one which was organ- id at Woodleaf last Friday nig-ht. The officers elected were: President, J. M, Benson; secre tary, R. C. Lyerly; 1st vice-presi dent, D. C, Click; 2nd vice-president, H. P. Cranford; 3rd vice president, R. B, Bailey. Suspected of Shoplifting. ' , Frank and Maggie Brown, a couple of negroes who have been residents here for a short while and claim to be from Tennessee, are under arrest on a charg-e of hoplifting. Various merchants have missed goods recently from heir stores and were at a loss to account for their disappearances The police were led to suspect the Brown's and searched their room, i he omcers unearthed enoug-h merchandise of different kinds to start a small store. The couple will have some trouble ex plaining: to the satisfaction of a ury how the stolen goods came into their possession. December and There was a wedding in the ast Ward last Wednesday night where extremes in age were much in evidence, though of course the respective ages of the bridal couple are no one's business. Walter Dilliard, a ' beaming- prass" widower of 51 summers and about the same number of winters, led to the matrimonial altar Miss Minnie Smith, aged 15 years, i he ceremony was per- formed by Rev. Byron Clark, pas tor of , the First Presbyterian church.

Ramsay, and the parts of Calanthe and Hermian were taken by Mrs. D'Oize and Mrs. i. iv. iexter, respectively. . Bismarck Capps, Esq., made a fine Dionysius, and his work in this role called forth much merit ed applause. The other charac ter did well, but the great inter est of the play centers around those named. The audience was not so larg-e as the merit of the production deserved. A Card. I want to ask, merely out of cUriosity, why the theatre goers of Salisbury will consent to be persistently and ' sytematically i, ij a a mi held up and robbed. The pr- age tneater prices or Salisbury are above those of any of the larsre cities. The prioe of $1.50 per seat in the dress circle will ft. a i. f j- be charged here for any ordinary snow wnicn comes along-, while in the leading- theatres of the large cities one can secure the same class oi seat tor lb cents or $1. 1 am told, but will not vouch for the the truth of the statement, that many of the shows which cost $1.50 in Salis- our a, cost tne unariotte or Greensboro theater goer only $1. joe tnis' as it may tne tact re mains that the $1.50 charge here is an imposition Upon a long" suf- renng puDiic, ana tne tneater goers of 'this city should arise in their might and demand that Salisbury be placed on a level with other theater towns and be given a square deal in this mat ter.

Some of Them Are Larger Than Many of the states. 1 The county is a territorial divi sion that the United States derived rom Great Britain, where the coun ties correspond to the provinces or departments of other European countries and in a limited sense to he states of the American Union. An Englishman addresses a letter to rarkmton, Hants, as we ad dress a letter to "Columbus, 0.," or "Elnrira, K Y." One state, which derives its usages from .trench and not from nglish originals, has no counties at all. In Louisiana these subdivisions of the state are still called parishes, both officially and in ordinary speech, though they are now divided into many real parishes of the church. There are about 3,000 counties in the Union, with an average size of about 1,Q00 square miles, but this average is enormously exceeded in many instances and is also fre quently fallen -below. Leaving out certain great unsettled counties in he west, the average county would be aDout ouu square miles in ex tent.' In much of the western part of tife country the size of the county is regulated mathematically. It con sists of sixteen townships, each com posed of thirty-six square miles, making 576 square miles in all. In other words, each township is six miles square and each county twen- ;y-f our miles square. In Iowa there are thirty-nine counties that were formed in this way, each one of which has exactly 576 square miles. Such divisions were possible in the newer west, where these minor political divisions were made m advance of settlement. In the older parts of the country the territorial arrangements were large- y accidental. The largest county in the United States is Yavapai county, Ariz., which has an area of almost 30,000 square miles. Nine states of the Union are each smaller than this county. It is larger that the whole of West Virginia and almost as large as South Carolina. The, sixteen counties of Montana average a greater size than the state of Massachusetts. Among the other great counties of the Union are San Bernardino and San Diego, in California, which are not only vast regions, but con tain a great productive territory; Humboldt and Lincoln counties, in Nevada, which are only sparsely populated, and Lincoln county, N. M., which bids fair in time to. have a large population. Although the Jn ew Jingland states are small, the average size of the counties is greater than in most of the middle, western and southern states. Worcester county, in Massa chusetts, is an example of an east ern county that is at the same time large in area and very populous. It is larger than the adjoining state of Rhode Island. The smallest state in the Union has the smallest county as welL Bristol county, R. I., has only twenty-five square miles. At once place it is not more than two miles in breadth. New York Tribune. Sun and Earth. The sun's greatest distance from the earth, about July 1, is nearly 94,000,000 miles; his least, about Jan. 1, rather less than 91,000,000 miles; his mean distance is about 92,333,000 miles. It may serve to give some idea of the vastness of this distance to say that a ball fired from a thirteen inch gun at the sun would reauire thirteen years to reach its mark, supposing its veloci ty to remain unchanged throughout the journey. The sun's diameter is 860,000 miles, exceeding the earth's about 109 times. The sun exceeds the earth in surface 11,750 times and in volume 1,260,000 times. Ancient High Buildings. In the Kome of the Caesars trou ble was experienced with high build ings. A law was passed restricting the height of fronts to sixty feet. In order to evade it builders adopt ed the practice of carrying up the rear portion several stories more. Other laws bearing on the heights of buildings were passed in olden Itimes. There was a tendency to di minish the height of stories as the buildings increased in size, and a height of 130 feet was probably at tained. It is believed that the ceil ings were so low that a man could not stand upright in the rooms. Rico Culture. The best of all rice known in the market for size and quality is that grown in South Carolina. The year 1694 is the earliest in which rice is known to have been grown in thi3 country. Eice culture is as old as history, having been known in India from time immemorial. The wild rice, still plentiful in the marshy, tropical countries of southern Asia, is undoubtedly the plant from which all forms of cultured rice have bee derived. New York American. Married in Cleveland. Last Wednesday, J. M. Harri son, of Mill Bridge and Mrs. Cora H. Shelton, of Virginia, were united in marriage at the residence of Esq. D. B Roseboro, in Cleveland, Rev. A. T. Hord officiating: at the ceremony. The bride is a sister of Mrs. D. B. Roseboro. Mr. Harrison is a well known resident of our coun-! ty and his many friends will con--gratulate him most heartily. I Lynching Too Good For Him. It would be difficult to conceive a more harrowing- tale of man's callous indifference for woman's finer susceptibilities than the one disused in an application- for di vorce just filed before the Paris courts. The wife who makes the pe tition has such a delicate and ar tistic nature that she suffers tor tures from the hideous discord existing- between the color of her husband's hair. Incredible though it may seem, the husband actual ly refuses to dye his hair to some less discordant hue. When they were married the husband's hair was a delicate, pale g-olden color, which went ad mirably with the drawing room furniture and hangings, then of a cool gray tint. Some time ago the wife refurnished her salon in a pale sad green, and every time her husband enters it his straw colored locks set his wife's nerves on edge. Appeals, tears, faintings and fits all failed to induce the brute of a husband to dye his yellow hair, not necessarilT sage green, but some tint, so in despair, the wife finally petitioned the divorce court to free her from a partner whose artistic abruptness was making her life one long night mare. The case promises to be inter esting, especially if the judges order the furniture to be brought into court to see whether the hus band's hair really makes such sickening contrasts as his wife claims.
