blood poisoning. The end came at
2: SO o'clock. He was 58 years of

Mrs. Charles M. Brown, Jr. Mr.
Davis was an undertaker in Salisbury
and about three weeks ago had oc
casion to embalm a body and in doing
bo he pricked one of his fingers with
a needle infecting It. In consequence
of this his arm had to be finally am

his life but the poison had gained
such headway his life was the penal

a keen blow to that community.

A PROTEST
It In rumored that a petition Is to
"fr* 'pi Suited to tbe Board o# OUm
men of this city At their next regular
meeting, asking that a franchise or
privilege be granted for the purpose
of extending another railroad side
track across Main street, just a few
yards above the present Coast Line
crossing. If such a move Is contem
plated, I consider It timely and prop
er for every tax paying citizen of this
city to present a most strenuous pro
test against the granting of such a
privilege, and to petition the honor
able board not to do so.
All those who have occasion, to
walk of drive up and down N^e busi
ness portion of the main thorough
fare of the city will understand, with
out argument, what a serious incon
venience to traffic another barrier i
across the street will be. for we have I
before us every day the one great
nuisance cf the city, and that Is the
present Atlantic Coaat Line track
across Main street, but let us remem
ber that this crossing was allowed for
the purpose of enabling, at that time,
our only railroad, the privilege of se
curing a water terminal, which was a
most necessary thing for the success
of the road, and the road a most
necessary thing for the growth and
upbuilding of the town, and conse
quently of all the Individuals residing
therein; but, notwithstanding these
public benefits to be derived from the
granting of this privilege, some of
our mast _praola?nt and influential
citizens strongly opposed it, neverthe
less the sacrifice was considered Jus
tifiable and the privilege was granted
In spite cf their protest and. the pros
perity of the city has, no doubt, been
considerably advanced on account-pt
it But the public has suffered, and
will continue to sdffer groat Incon
venience by tills obstruction of traflc
on our jpaln business street. Among
the Influential cltlsena referred to
above, who opposed the granting of
this privilege to the railroad company
was. strange to sAy, the snppoeed
?principal petitioner la the preaent
case, who now seems willing and
anxious that a sert>dd privilege of
like character be granted, not tor the
public benefit, aaln the first ease, hat
simply In order that a privstejnanu
facturlng corporation can sJPw ex
pense ln?haadllng their product.
It should also be considered that if
th la privilege Is granted, that every
other private citlsen or corporation
.will have the right tofxpect and de
mand. either now dr in the lutHll.
like concessions. Nor shoald we con
sider that this proposition Is for the
purpose of promoting any new or In
fant Industry, but tor enhancing the
facilities of one of long and apparent
ly successful operation. . V* -
I able and <Nrt*rprtsinff citlsen of "this
I city is heartily in favor of helping
Now I
believe thai every
reason
to assist those already established.
Wjpg wnjT."Rf to us. tor
we muit be* progressive and' IlkeHtfix
we expect any material prosperity,
but when it comes to granting one
individual established corporation (or
their exclusive and personal benefit
the right to build a barrier across our
main business thoroughfare and
thereby to virtually and forever pre
clude any future business develop
ment above said barrier, besides in
flicting greaOnconvenleme and an
noyance upon thousands of citizens
annually, the country people as well
as the town people, it is asking too
much and, In the writer's opinion,
should not be considered . for a mo
ment. Plausible (?) arguments will"
no doubt be presented In favor of
granting this unreasonable and un
heard of request, for some people are
smart and shrewd enough to present
"plausible argument" to have every
honest citizen in town Jailed before
night, but their "argument" does not
necessarily affect the justice of the
case where all the people are concern
ed as against the interest of one al-,/
ready opulent corporation.
1 have beard it argued that this
mill Is a great benefit to the town.
This no one can deny, but it is a se
rious question whether or not It
should be subsidised at such great
expense and inconvenience to the
general public.
Are we willing to forever mar and
detract from the proepects, beauty
and convenience oT Cut "Futufr
City" by committing such an error in
our infancy which we shall hence
forth regret? If so. for what pur
pose? CfKMllf not for any public
goat, for Vhlch oOly such civic sac
rifices should be made, but only tor
the convenience and the aggrandise
ment of. a rich 'corporation.
Are we living In the remote back
woods to *uch an extent as not to
bars heard the voice of protest and
revolt which la going up all over this
country against such abuses of the
people's rights? Are we going to be
thus blindly led Into errors In o?r
present benighted condition before
we ?nn wake up to our future possi
bilities? We sincerely and solemnly
kope not .
It will ne doubt be argued that
cars will net be allowed to stand on
the tracka crossing the street, knit
will anybody suppose for a moment
that a municipal administration,
which grants auch a privilege, can
w#t be wpimed to enforce tke pee- 1
visions governing tke same for any
length Of time?
Now, In conclusion, I will nay that
I am an adherent and supporter of
tke present administration and kave
greet confidence In then Individually
and collectively and tkerefore I do^
not better* that they will betrny tke
people's trust In tkl# case, or In any
