Editor Julian, of the Post, had
to" return to his home yesterday
owing to illness. 9 It is a wonder
editors don't drop dead about
twice per year. . As a rule they ex
pend more-energy, both mental
and Dhvsical. than several men
employed in other occupations.
The strain on an editor is some
thing terrific and can only be
properly appreciated by those who
have experienced the strenuosity
necessary to suoh a calling.
The contrariness of humanity is
so manifest that most any kind of
an ism oan be started and obtain
adherents. 'It matters not what
its doctrines may be or to what
its logioal conclusions may lead,
a little agitation is all that is neo
ereary to oause it to flourish. A
little police publicity, a row.a little
newspaper notoriety and a little
better-than-thou advertising fills
their little cups to overflowing
wib joy and a kind of so-called
ni-irty's success. This may mean
that something is wrong or that
there are some better things in
Btore for humanity, but it does
no"-. -prove that any of the old isms
art; wrong or any of the new ones
to be right,
To read the intended post mor
tern statement of the man Allison,
of Asheville, who killed Floyd
Mo Gee, it seems, if he told the
truth,, he had much to justify his
c urse. He says: "And most
every day after that when he
(McGee) would pass me he would
laugh at me and make remarks

S8il-rt3peclting man would do,

wubu anoiner persists in sucn a
courso, happened; just as Allison
says: "Right then he was driv
ing nails in his coffin, etc." If
Allison, though he be a very bad
man and ought to be hung on gen
eral principles, can substantiate
this statement, he oertainly should
be given some consideration. No
man has the right to obtrude him
self upon. another, to say nothing
of attempts to ridioule, bulldoze
and tyranize him. A man who
does such things should take the
consequences, and a man who de
fends himself against such an of
fender should be justified in bo
doing.

Harry Jones, Colored, Killed by Stree
Car.
Monday night, at 8 :28 o'clock,
as car No. 8 of the Salisbuty
Sp'encer Street Railway was going
north and just before making the
carve soutn oi tue car barn, near
bc switch between Salisbury and,
b,. ncer, it nit and instantly kill
ed Harry Jones, oolored, of Wades
bo;. , The car was in charge of
FrjJ Cauble, mortorman, and
Munay Smith, conductor and was
running about at the usual speed .
Jones was seen walking down the
road, bMx to tM ear, bat euBfta
his conns and when tha oar was
within a very short distance of
him stepped upon the track, too
late for the motorman to stop
although he did everything pos
sible to do so. Jones had been
drinking and was then probably
quite drunk, but not so much bo
that he did not realize his situa
tion at the last moment for ho
threw up his arm as in an effort
to ward off the blow. His hand
hit and broke the glass in the
front of the car. His nose was
split open, several cuts were made,
on his head and his neck was
broken, causing death immediate
ly. Jones seems to have been a
quite, inoffensive kind of a man
and a hard worker, but would
drink whiskey, which was the
cause of his death. He was going
to his home in Spenoer at the time
of the acoident. His remains
were taken in charge by the Sum
mersett Undertaking Co., where
they remained all day yesterday
and were viewed by the curious.
His wife called about 9:80 and
identified him.
No blame is attaohedto the car
company nor those in charge of
the oar.

Notice Any one wishing to buy a
good brood mare and a good
farm animal would do well to see
or wrueto Alex. Shaver, fiali
James H. Ramsaf. the Besf Postmaster Sal
isbury Evft Had, Succeeded bi Assistant.
As soon as the required bond is
approved and his; commissioner
arrives W. Henry Hobson, a popu
lar young man of this city and
the present assistant postmaster,
will become postmaster, and Jas.
H, Ramsay, the present official
and the best postmaster Salisbury
has ever had, will turn over the
office and its responsibilities
to Mb suooessor. Mr. Hobson
has been assistant postmaster for
several years, by appointment of
Mr. Ramsay, and is most likely
fully competent to take charge
and conduct the office satisfac
torily to the patrons thereof. Mr.
Hobson is a native of Davie coun
ty, a-relative of Congressman R
Pearson Hobson and A . H. Prioe,
Esq., of Salisbury.
Mr. Ramsay has served as post
master for about 20 years in all
and has conducted the office in a
uniform accommodating, courte
oua and pleasing manner to all,
and it is with much regret his
many friends, among all olasses
and parties, will learn of his re
tirement.
Tk follaviaf iaMrtfti&g iaier-
MfttioB was fmrniihsd tht local
correspondent of The Charlotte
Observer by Mr. Ramsay :
The first postmaster ever ap
pointed for the Salisbury office
was George Lauman, who was ap
pointed March 20, 1703 but it is not
thought tbat he ever qualified, as
the records show William Winder
was appointed twelve days later,
April 1, 1793. The postmasters
after that and the dates of their
appointments were : Srfmuel Day
ton, August 10, 1793; Andrew
Balfour, March 81, 1796, he hav
ing served longer than any other
man who ever held the position, a
period of twenty-six years ; Sam
el Reeves, January 7, 1822: H. W.
Connor, February 18, 1838: Ben
jamin Julian, February 8, 1841 ;
J. Weirman, May 18, 1858; M. A.
Smith, January. 14, 1858; Lewis
Beard, April 13, ,1861. However,
toa war came on and ceard never
filled the office, the Confederate
government took charge of the of
fice and M.A.Smith, father of Le
roy Smith,one of the present mail
carriers; holding on and 'having
the distinction of serving as post
master under two governments
Anthony Benoini waB appointed
July 19, 1865; H. H.- Helper,
March 8, 1871; D. L. Bringle,
October 7, 1871, James H. Ram
say, August 16. 1882 ; A. H. Boy
den, June 15, 1885; James H,
Kamsay, July 18, 1889; A. H.
Boyden, June 12, 1893; James H .
Ramsay. October 18, 1897, the
latter having held the office con
tinuously ever since.
All told, Mr. Ramsay has held
the office for nearly twenty years
When he first became tpostm aster
in 1882 the office was located in a
little frame shack on the corner
where the Ford hotel cow stands,
and in addition to the postmaster
there was only one olerk employed,
in the office, h9 beiLg Richard
Graham.
When Andrew Balfour was post
master his mother attended to the
duties of the office for her son.
In 1790 there were only 75 post
offices In the United States and of
this number four were 'in North
Carolina. They were Edenton,
Washington, Newberu and -Wilmington.
The Salisbury postof
fice was established three years
later and the first office was locat
ed in a small wooden house which
stood where Capt. R. W. Price
now lives, on East Iunes street.
The Salisbury office became presi
dential on March 20, 1867V aud
second class on July 1, 1899 The
free delivery service was establish
ed September 1, 1902.

SHOE TALK!
WINTER will soon be here and the question of
buying shoes will be up, and also 4;he question where
can we buy the beet shoes? This question will be
asked only by thosewho haven't tried Hamilton
Brown shoes, for those who have tried t"hem know,
and you couldn't get them to buy any other, for they
are tatiiied that thy are gfsiiing th host and the
best Is always the cheapest.
Good, solid leather, costs but a trifle more than
a saoe that has composition insoles and counters
(shoes that are made to sell and not to wear).
We sell only solid leather shoes, and we make
good on every pair where there are any defects in
matersal or workmanship. We handle the celebrated
Hamilton Brown Shoes
and that name on a pair of shoes is a sufiicient guar
antee of an all leather shoe. This Hardware and
Keck of Gibralter shoe, with a six months' written
guarantee, are the greatest shoes ever made f ot long
wear and hard service. The Rock of Gibralter sohe
has the Beesimere sole with the green colored bot
tomone sole of this leather is supposed to wear as
long as three ordinary soles ask to sea it.
We also have the
H a r d iv a re Shoes
for women that are waterproof, aud we believe that
if well taken care of they will wear 12 to 18 months.
We also have a good. line- .of Pine Knot shoes
for women and children shoes that -will" wear all
winter. Big line of household shoesfbr men wom
en and children. These shoes are as solid as leather
can make them, and if you want to save money on
your shoe bills this .winter shoe-your family with
Household shoes. We also carry: a line of the
American Lady, American Genllemen and Security
school shoes. A watch guarantee3 for 12 months for
5o cents wittfa pair of Security school shoes.
