Buford, the Southern's popular Freight Agent at Salis bury, was asked last night wheth er or not the business at this point waa increasing or decreas ing since the , bogituiing of the year. He stated that he could not say positively. He added a com parison of last week's business with the same week-- last year shows a very little; decrease. Freight business, however, is er ratic, some weeks there are a doz en'' or more cars, other weeks, a wry few,. There might have been a smalt business a year ago and a good business, under the condi tions, this year. The revenue from cars received has fallen Off considerably, but the shipment or oat-going cars . have remained about the same. The large distill eries in the city received weekly a number of car loads of grain. which is now cut off, hence a re duction in the receipts. The ship ments have been holding up so far possibly from the fact that a lot of the liquors on hand at the be ginning of the year is being moved, Salisbury was the largest receiving and shipping point for the manufacture of whiskies on the Southern and the company will feci it worse here than at any other place. Unlike the Southern Express Company there has . been no de crease in the force ao far at the freight office. ' COTTOJT WAGONS. Coacord's Streets Blocked Satur- : day, Tern Cent Cotton.

The W3- liama-Stnngficld contested eleo- : tion case promisee to become: the central point of interest in the House this week. 'The case ia one of unusual interest since Repre sentative Williams, ' of Davie county, who now holds down the job presented a certificate of elec tion back of which was a majori ty of but two votes. He was the regular Democratic nomiuee but Contestant Stringfield, who claims that he waa also a atrict party man until last year and made the race for the House .only in order to breac down party bossian aaya a big moral issue is involved and that he proposes to fight it out to a finish. The committee has been engaged practically all of the past aeven days in bearing the testi mony of witnesses. Mr. String field presented depositions from -twenty voters in a precinct where r he received but aeven votes on the . fsce of the returns in which it is ' set forth by these, twenty sover eign votem that every mother's son of them cast their ballot for him. These depositions accepted as truth with no offset in sight Mr. Williams would find himself in a plight. The truth of the matter is the whole affair has resolved itself in to an ugly factional fight among the Democrats in 'Duvio county, that whatever the decision of the House may be in this contest in sures the election of a Republican from that county two years hence, unless concessions, are made by both factions. My impression, af ter' talking with perhaps twenty , member of the House on the sub ject, is that Mr.- Williams wdl hold his .neat and teat Mr. String-' field, who has been here several days, will return home a very much aggrieved individual. .. - T - - , . - "' -s . .." 1 - '. ? .:' ' I learn tonight that a bill is be- ' ing drawn to increase the number of county commissioners for Row an from five to fourteen in order to give every township in the county a representative on the board.
