VERY COMPLIMENTARY To Oar City Are tbe Words of a llrother Editor Comparing: Oar Town With Another One. The Mooreaville Times in its last i3sue has an editorial from which we take several paragraphs, which are very complimentary to Concord: "You may go the city of Concord and spend a month and very likely you will hot see a drunken man during that lime 'bat go where they have open bar rooms and you can cot spend two days without seeing men drunk, and in many instanced being taken to the lock up. There are other, yea many other, things that could be said in defense of Conccrd's Prohibitory law. There are about 7,000 inhabitants in that city and only two policemen, and when bed time comes they, like other citizens, go to bed and take their rest. Concord has made a grand record already for sobriety, and no city has a better citizenship. If Salisbury does not wish to be left behind in the way of progress let her follow the example of Concord." CONOOU1X N. C. A NEW DEPOT I To He Built Immediately Tbe Con- tract Das Been Lei to a Contractor at Hickory t he officials Neem to Jffot Have Lost Slsht of Oar Needs Here. It will be remembered that about last January our town asked the railroad authorities for a new pas senger depot here. After a good bit of correspondence the railrdad of s fieials promised that they would ac-l cede to our request, but asked that they be given until September. The. time having arnyed, their letter so stating was sent by Mayor Crowell again asking them for it and ako showing them the letter. In reply to the letter, Major Crowell has just lecsived the- fol lowing, which is good and satisfac tory news to our pa pie: Hon. J L Crowell, Mayor of Concord, N. O. Dear Sir: Yours of the 12th inst., received. We had not lost sight of the needs in the way of a new passenger station for your city and are now glad to advise you that the contract has just been made with Mr. J D Eiliotr, of Hickor i N. O., to erect a new passengtr atatioo at Concord, and the work will be begun immediately. Yours very truly F S Gannon, Third Vice Pres. and Gen. Sl'g'r. The plans and specifications for the new station seem to be of a very nice kind, and will be a great lm provement for us. As to on which side of the track it will be built, there has not been any decision made. A DESTKUCTIVE FIRE. Esq. Alexander's Barn and Cribs Burn Down Fonr Males and One Fine Horse Perish in tbe Flames Buildings and Stock Insured to Home Extent. Friday night between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock, Esq. J M W Alexander, who liyes near Racky ruver, awoke to nnd his large barn on fire. He found it out too late to save anything. In vain he tried to rescue four of his mules and his black mare. All of his roughness and everything in the barn bnrned. The corn cribs ad joining also caught and were also burned to the ground. It was fortunate and almost puzzling that several other adjoining buildings were not also burned, some others being very near by. No cause is known for the fire, but it is thought to be the work ol an incendiary. Some tracks have since been found that may yet prove to be susolcious. Fortunalely-Mr. Alexander was carrying insurance born on nis buildings and on bis stock. He was insured in the Farmers Mu tual Fire Insurance Association of our county, and will derive at least $300 therefrom. His loss roughly estimated will reach $1,UC0. This is a great loss to Capt.

ILLINOIS sun m Exeitement-Tne Landing or The fierce tension continues about Tirden, 111., and the only hope of averting more bloodshed lies in the abandonment by the j mining company f the idea ot bringing negroes to take the pl&ce of the striking miners. The Gov ernor, desiring to avoid oonflict, has ordered the guards not to allow the imported forces to land about the seat ol trouble. The railroads, however, -are disposed to kick about the governor's m- terfering with the carrying trade, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15 PERSONAL POINTERS. Mr. 8yd B Alexander, of Char lotte, was here today.

A young man who clerks for Mr. John Andrews, who owns a store just across the Carolina Central road on Brevard street, had a close call Thursday morning. About two o'clock in the morning Mr. An drews' clerk heard some noise at the rear of the 8toret The door of the dwelling whioh "adjoins the store was opened, and just 'as the young man was in the act'of walking out, some one fired a pistol twice. One of the bails struck the door-facing just above the young man's head. As soon as the two shots were fired the party ran and has not ab yet been apprehended. There have in the past few months been several attempts made to rob Mr. Andrews' store.
