Sausbuby, N. C, Oct. 26th, 1909
Hon. L. C.Caldwell, of States
ville, will be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination ' for Con
cress in this district next year.
Mr. Caldwell is a former Cabarrus
man, and has many relatives and
friends in this county who will
support him, and with the great
est pleasure. Concord Times.
We do not know what Mr. Cald
well's chances are among the
party bosses, hut we do know that
he has endeared himself to a great
many people in Salisbury, Spencer
and Rowan county which will not
be second to any county in his
support.
The Rowan County Fair.
The Rowan County Fair came
to a close on Saturday night, after
five days of cold bad weather
which kept many from attending
and, while this first fair, under
the present management, was
a success financially, they
feel encouraged and will make
preparations for a bigger and bet
ter fair next year, and they want
the assistance of the town and
country people in the undertaking.
There is no reason why Rowan
should not have a first class
county fair where the farmer can
display the products of his farm,
the workman the output of his
shop, the house-wife what she can
dowith the needle and where every
one can show to his neighbor and
to the puplic what they can do.
All that is needed is that all
should pull together and, if this
is done, there is no reason why
the next fair should not be a
good one.
A Prisoner Escapes but is Caught.
Andy Jones a colored "gemmen'
with a very dark face and a shady
record, was up in the county
court on Friday charged with
forcible tresspass He was found
guilty of disorderly conduct and
a small fine was put on him which
he could not pay and he was sen
to jail. In the afternoon Solici
tor Craige visited and interview
ed him in regard to some charges
he had made about the negroes
.-a
wno nad mm arrested. in some
way the jail door on the east side
was left open and as Mr. Craige
left the jail the negro rushed by
the young deputy and escaped
The young man gave the alarm as
soon as he had locked a door lead
ing to the cells but the negro had
a good start and was not captured
until night. Sherriff McKenzie
soon had his deputies with him
and witn tneir assistance ne was
traced. from place to place unti
thev finally landed him at the
depot at Spencer.

Salisbury is Now in Many Respects Better
otf Than she was one Year ago.
"We were recently shown a copy
of a Vincennes, Ind., newspaper,
in which a half page was devoted
to the display of a letter from H.
W. ITrund, of this cityj to some
banking house of that city. The
letter, as printed, had no ear
marks of being a postsorip. It
was direct and un qui vocal. It
stated conditions here iu their
worst form and placed the blame
for- such conditions on the voting
out of whiskey! A like contest be
ing on at Vincennes, the value of
such a letter was apparent, was
used, given great display and
wide publicity. It was not only
calculated to greatly help the
whiskey interests at Vincennes,
but held Salisbury UD.iu a false
light and to heriujary.
' Mr, Fruud may not nave in
tended so much, but the effects
amount to the same, although
M
nis sin is more one or emission
than of commission. He failed to
tell of the many good things we
have, the improvemeuts in
iiand and progress being made in
most all lines. For this reason
we have habtilly, though probably
not entirely correctly gathered
few of the items which might
he have used to the benefit of the
town from which we derives his
livelihood,
The following are substantially
correct :
Work on the Kress building,
corner Main and Bank streets, is
progressing rapidly. Ti e wood
casings are almost ready for the
concrete walls in the basement,
and the work of mining the col
crete and building the wails and
floors is being made.
Dr. Trantham's residence cor
ner Fisher and Jackson streets is
still in the hands of tba work
men and, although not completed,
great changes have been made to
it. A porch which extends the
length of the house has been add
ed on the front, and other things
have been done to it which will,
when completed, make it one of
the prettiest places in that end of
the city.
The work of double-tracking
being none by the Southern Rail
way, from this place south, is go
ing forward rapidly, which is
tb.9 result of increased businees
conditions in Salisbury and the
territory through which the road
passes.
B. P. Beard bas men at work
on his house on West Bank street
getting it in shape to be rolled
back 15 feet, after which he will
put a basement under it and build
an additional four rooms to it on
the front. When complete! it
will be handsomely and conven
iently arranged and will be occu
pied by Mr. Beard as a home.
Work on the government build
ing is progressing slowly but
steadily. The foundations are all
laid and the walls are being raised
above the ground. What has been
done has the look of permanency
and solidity about it that is sel
dom seen on other structures, but,
as Uncle Sam is a liberal pay
master, he requires that his work
be of the best and must be dona
strictly in accordance with the
plans and specifications and has
competent men to see that it is
done that way.
The Piedmont Carolina Rail
way has just been completed and
is now running cars from the cor
ner of Main and Council streets to
Rowan Fair Associations grounds,
about two miles di3tant and, if
we are not mistaken, is getting its
power from the same company
the 8alisbury-Spencer car line is,
henoe, if not directly, it is indi
rectly making up in a much more
wholesome manner the less oc
casioned by the driving out of the
stills and saloons, which Mr.
Frund decrys so much.
D. L. Arey, probably the larg
est distiller here, has cenverted
his disti.lery into a mammoth gin
and, H. Clay Grubb, another very
arge distiller, bas in process of
erection, on the corner of Main
and Innes streets, a large, 7-seven
story steel-frame office building,
which will cost somothing like
$75,000 or $80,000.
In addition to the above evidence
of material progiess and continued
prosperity in Salisbury, we have
called on a number of our leading
merchants and made inquiry con
cerning their preseSt volume of
business as compared with con
ditions one year Ego during the
existence of the saloons here
One Doctor Only One
No sense in running from one doctor to another! Select
the best one, then stand by him. No sense either in trying
this thing, that thing, for your cough. Carefully, deliber
ately select the best cough medicine, then take it Stick
to it. Ask your doctor about Ayers Cherry Pectoral for
throat and lung troubles. Sold for nearly seventy years.
No alcohol in this cough medicine. J.C.AyerCo.,LoweU,Mass.
Why try this thing, that thing, tor your constipation? Why not stick to the good
old reliable family laxative Ayer's Pills? Ask your doctor if he approves this advice,,
can furnish the names to any one
wanting same, that business has
been anywhere fiom the same to
50 per cent, better than it was for
the same months of last year.
Another poiut of improvement
lies in the fact that the police and
sheriff are almost daily capturing
and bringing to justice violators
of the law, hardly aday passing in
which more or less . of the blind
tigers and other offenders are
dealt with. This was not the case
one year ago. Then the police
openly knew of dens of vice and
lawlessness and openly declared
that if they made arrests their
jobs would be the penalty. Is
this the condition Mr. Frund, for
a few dollars, wants to return to?
On the first day cf the month,
now, with the great loss of the
I blood money obtained from the
bars and distilleries, the city po
lice and public school teachers
go .only once and are promptly
paid for their services . One year
ago, with the blood money in
hand they were compelled to make
trip after trip and wait indefinite
ly for payment. Is this thn con
dition Mr. Frund wants to return
to?
The narrative of like improve
ments can be continued ad imfiui-
tum, but space and patience for
bid, hence we close and leave the
matter with the good people of
Salisbury, knowing that Bhoold
any one wish to know the exact
conditions here he need only make
an honest investigation.

" I was run down and weak from
indigestion and general debility, also
suffered from vertigo. I saw a cod
liver preparation called Vinol adver
tised and decided to give it a trial,
and the results were most gratifying.
After taking two bottles I regained my strength, and an
now feeling unusually well." HENRY CUNNINGHAM,

Vinol contains the two most world-famed tonics the medicinal,
strengthening, body-building elements of Cod Liver Oil and Tonic
Iron.. Vinol contains no oil, and is by far the Best Strengthening
Tonic obtainable. We return your money without question
if Vinol does not accomplish all we claim for it.
