FINDING OF COME To Capitalize a Company at $40, 000 and Organize an Association The Flan Explained. The citizens of Salisbury and Rowan county will be interested to know that there is now a splen did opportunity for a Rowan fair this year. The owners or stock holders of the fair ground are making a fine proposition which should it be accepted would result in a permanent fair association for Rowan county, and it is to be hoped the plan will materialize. The shareholders place a valua tion of $40,000 on the ground which contains 41 1-2 acres of - land, two largo and substantial 43? . exhibit buildings, in the neighbor hood of 100 excellent stalls for horses and cattle, a large grand 6tand and one of the best race tracks in the South. Added to this a car line runs from the city to the erronnd which srives an increased value to it. The proposition is to capitalize a fair association at $40,000, the present owners to take $10,000 worth of the stock, the Salisbury Industrial Club to take $10,000, the Salisbury and Spencer Merch ants' Association to take $10,000, and the farmers of the county $10,000. The property is to be deeded to the company on a thirty year plan. If not paid by that time the ground to revert to the original owners. The bonds for the amounts due each party to the transaction is to hear 3 per cent interest for three vears. After that time at 5 per vcent until the amount is paid. The "Vresent owners agree ta --p? their rminortionate snare oi 1 , . It. 1-ttY a U .V u--wo improve ments and other expenses inciden tal to conducting a fair. It is conceded, and has been proven by past record, that a fair can be made to pay at Salisbury. And it is further agreed beyond question that a county fair is the hest advertisement a county can have, and is besides, a great bene fit to the people. No plan has been suggested as to organizing.

The principal findings were that the Titanic was rushing at a speed of 24 1-2 knots per hour when she crushed into the iceberg; that all might have been saved but for the negligence and indifference of the steamer, Californian, to answer the Titanic 's distress signals; that 'our warnings of ice ahead were snored by the Titanic officers; that eight vessels were near the itanic and only the larpathia gave assistance : that there was no feflled amf poorTycoinmanded and that only partially manned twenty lifeboats : that news of the disaster was suppressed by the White Star line. There was no word of criticism of J. Bruce Is- may. The committee recommend- d increased life saving equip ment for all vessels, regulation of the wireless telegraphy, restric- ions in manning vessels, search- ghts and revolutionary reform in ship construction. REPAIRING DAM. City Making Improvements at and About the Pump House. The citv authorities are now busy making repairs at and about the pump house, where the citi zens sret their supply of water. Mayor Thompson and his board 01 aldermen are preparing against a 0 - . repetition of the drought of last summer when it was aparent at one time that the supply would be xhn listed. The dam is being repaired, the basin cleaned out, the canal open pd and other improvements plan bied. The mayor believes in the old adage: "A stitch in time saves nine." T.nst vear the board spent be t-opn fc1.200 and $1,500 in laying pipes and installing an engine at firnnt's Creek, and no water was used. This, however, was provid ing against a threatened water famine, and was money weu ex pended. It is .the purpose of the citv authorities to avoid a recur- rence of such actions tnis year v . . , - "Are You Going?" "Wheret" "To the Grubb." "When!" "Next Tuesday night."
