THE MORNING POST 0BER27; 1899. WORTH A PREMIUM Salisbury Will Soon Have Some Bonds to Sell. ELECTION NEXT MONDAY Citizens Hold m. JUsm Ztteetlnz in the Interest f Securlns North Carolina Colleger-Net Dally Out A Second Sanltarlom to Be Established A Bis Smelter to Erected at Gold Hill Tlie Yadkin Bridge Nearly Complete. Salisbury, N C, Oct. 26. Special. The election for city improvement bonds will take place next Monday. There is no doubt as to the election carrying. The bonds ought to com mand a fair premium in the market, as the town of Salisbury has only fifty thousand dollars indebtedness. Citizens of the town held a mass meeting in the town hall tonrght to formulate plans and raise money to eecure the location of the North Caro lina College at this place. Charlotte and Concord are also in the race in trying to have the college, but it looks as if Salisbury will secure it. . The Indx, Salisbury's new dally paper made its initial bow this week, with Rev. J. X. Stalling In the edi torial chair. Dr. Stallings is the gen tleman who edited the 'Delphic Record during the -war, and was later the founder of the Caucasian at Clinton. The Index is Democratic in politics and is published by Mr. W. H. Stewart, proprietor of the Salisbury Truth. Dr. J. C. Stokes, for some time resi dent surgeon, at Johns Hopkins Hospi tal in Baltimore, has resigned and moved to Salisbury, where he and Dr. John Whitehead will conduct a sani tarium. Dr. Stokes enjoys the repu tation of toeing. one of the moat skilful surgeons and eminent specialists in the United States. Salisbury now has two sanitariums, the one above men tioned and another conducted by Dr. J. W. Long and W. N. -Newman. The mammoth smelter which is be ing erected at the Union Copper mines at Gold Hill is nearly all in place readv to be put up. The capacity of the smelter will be five hundred tons per day. The new steel bridge across the Yad kin ds nearing completion. The old stone piers erected over one hundred years ago for an old wooded bridge, which spanned the Yadkin but which fell through the last year of the war, have been used in the construction of the new bridge. Mr. Henry Austin Clapp, of Boston, will lecture here .'Monday night on Shakespeare. Mr. John Hedrick, Sr.. Rowan's old st citizen and one of the wealthiest is very ill and not expected to recover. Hon. Thomas Settle was here today. He will soon move from Greensboro to Asheville, where he is now building a house. Senator Pritchard, Judge Bwart and Chairman Holton were here last night en route to Washington City. ASHLEY'S EXPERIMENT Negro Labor in Silk Mills Something New. Problem to Be Wrought Out at Fay etteville Presbyterian Church Gets Bid of an Incubus of Debt A Citizen Dead Fayetteville, X. C. Oct. 26. Spe cial. Mr. Dwigbt Ashley, of the silk manufacturing . firm of Ashley & Bailey, who have silk spinning and weaving mills at different points in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as well as the beautiful mill just put in op eration here, has just paid Fayette ville a. visit of - a day or two, for the purpose of looking over his prop erty, which he sees for the first time since its completion. Jlr. Ashley is eviden tly a very cool, well-balanced bnslness man, giving en thusiasm no-play to .the prejudice of good Judgment Replying to a re porter, he declines to commit himself as to the success of his enterprise nere, contenting himself with ex pressing hid satisfaction with the ex cellence ox the building, machinery, outfit of the plant, etc. Doubtless he recognizes tho gravity of the experi ment which substitute black for white labor at the spindle and the loom, and sees that a probation of months, or even years, will be re quired to determine whether it is to be success or failure. The superintendent is confronted by a difficulty at the beginning of the work, which -will doubtless 'be reme died in the future. There are neat little villages, the abode of the work men; around the factories of the Holt, Houston, Cumberland and Fay ettevllle. Manufacturing companies. But the hands in the silk mill are scattered from "'Dan to Biersheba," and, punctuality must suffer greatly in their daily gathering for work. The death of Mr. W. TV Freeman, a trusted official of the -Atlantic Coast 'Line, which occurred this week, caused general irrief in the commun ity, and was unusually sad from all thai attendant circumstances. In the flush of young manhood, blessed with a lovely wife, sweet children and an attractive home,, he- was seized -with a hemorrhase last July while out l Ashing, from which he aiever 1vl fit a true man and the resignation of a unnstian. ,His remains were earnea to Orangeburg, S. C, for interment. The congregation of the -Presbyterian church, of which Rev. II. T. Graham is pastor, has just given an object lesion in what may Ik- accom plished by zealous, systematic work work with the heart in it. The an nouncement was made last Sunday that the debt on the church, amount ing to several hundred dollars, had been cleared. No wonder that the closing hymn was an anthem of thanksgiving. The editor of The Pest got at the very root of the "true, inwardness" of the country fair when he said yes terday that a great, a good, a suffi cient purpose was terved if the peo ple were brought, together in pleas ant reunion, where they found amuse ment. Barnum may have said, "Thej people must be amused," hut his great prototype enunciated this philosophy many years ago. In "Hard Times," by Dickens, the immortal Mr. Hardy, "who was endowed with an atrocious lisp and a 'game' eye," says to Thom as Gradgrind: ''Shake - handth, shquire, tirtht and latht; the people mutht be amuthed; they can't be ral wayth a-working or a-crying; tho make the besth of uth, not the wortht." Mrs. R. McMillan is quite ill with fever. 'Mrs. John Small, relict of the late Dr. John Small, is very sick at her home on Haymount.
