The Cordele, (ia., cotton fac tory has doutled its force ,of oper atives, and is now running day and higbt. . This was made neces sary by a heavy increase of orders.

It is observed by a Contin- 'ental journal that since the Triple - Alliance announces its. object to be QIIIHGR RAILWAY AND NASHVILLE EXPOSITION. . A trip over the Western North Carolina Division of the Southern Railway is; interesting at any time. A trip over the entire extension of the road via Morristowri and Knoxville to Chattanooga,i and thence by the way of the Louis ville arid Nashville Railroad to the Nashville Centennial Exposition is, if possible, still more interest ing. Very few Salisburians, we believe, have so faj taken advant age of 'tlic cheap rate to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the line or to talic. in the great Nashville shoy. .' , , p THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY. m it is reached by an incline rail road, the cars being drawn up by cable. ' It is 1,580 feet t above Chattanooga arid furnishes one of the finest views in this country. A , part of seven States may be seen from Point Lookout, and Chattanooga looks from it like a toy city6 This mountain over looks the historic battlefield of Chicamauga and on its top was the scene, during the battle of al most a week, of a desperate battle in which the Southern soldiers were routed. Much has been said and written of the mountain. It is indeed highly interesting.

Since the outbreak of "yellow jack"" several weeks ago a number of the larger Southern cities have raised a quarantine. Last week Knoxville, Nashville, Chat tanooga arid other Tennessee cit ies ten in line, ureat iear ot this dread disease appears to pre vail throughout the entire dength and breadth of that State. Still other cities are, ioining in , the quarantine! Yesterday Montgom ery, Ala., raised its flag; Tennes see, Alabama and portions of Georgia, are determined ta. pre vent the induction pi the disease. Atlanta, G a.', has not' as yet rais ed a quarantine and. hundreds from the infected parts oi the country are flocking to that place. The traips from - the south are being delayed hours by the health offi cers, examining rigidly every pas senger on . board these trains. The States in which the quaran tine has been raised are makins a streneous effort to prevent the development of the fever. This is laudable and creditable on the part of these States. While the disease,, we believe, has not assumed a malignant type, there being comparatively few fa talities as yet, the States .do well to be on guard. A few are. mak ing the '-'scare" in more northern climes a subject of laughter at the same time Yellow Jack is creeping northward. Two suspi cious cases were reported at -Cairo, Ilk, .yesterday. But for the strict quarantine inaugurated in the several States the epidemic might' become serious. North Carolina, thanks to its altitude, is regarded as safe from the disease. . J MONDAY. Gen. Lee goes back to Cuba in October. Four new cases and one death from yellow fever at New Orleans Saturday. - Severe fighting is reported in India, resulting in a reverse for the British. ; Total number of yellow fever cases at Edwards, Miss., 47; new cases Saturday 10 Hog cholera is causing many deaths among the swine in Wash ington county, Maryland.

" In the seven yellow fever epi demies that swept New Orleans bet veen 1847 and 1878 there were 27,257 deaths. George Bnssell, formerly a coal operator at Clarksburg, W.

Let us see if the North or the .East or the West will accept the new tlispensa - tion- without question aye, rwith even cbdiai approval. We have our doubts, but certainly there oufht to be.no sectionalism in this matter. The negro should be a federal officeholder in the North or East or West, and not alone in the South; where, of all places, his appointment is motr at rvariance : with local I Post. feeling.

There is a slight indenture w here an artificial lake has been made. The buildings are splendid structures and; are erected upon" a . limestone foundation. Xhe exhibits are fine. The sariie features which i characterized the placing of the exhibits at Chicago and at Atlanta was followed at Nashville. There, is upon the grounds, instead of a Midway Plaisatiee, a Vanity Fair, embrac ing thxrregular Plaisance shows. The giant see-saw takes the place o Ferris Wheel and the wheel at Atlanta. There is also a chute to shoot. An interesting feature is the old log home of 'Andrew Johnson. Inside is his bed, his mother's .old loom, wheels and candle, moulds. This has been hauled to the. grounds put up and daubed as when occupied by Mr Johnson's mother. 1 At Judge Fer ris' nursery the; Sun man only halted, not having anything to leaVewith him. But to attempt to give a- clepcription in a brief ar ticle of the exhibits would be folly, hence it is omitted further. The eppsitiOTi is a great credit to the- enterprising citizens of Nashville, as well as to Tennessee. The attendance is smaller than the worth of the; show (merits. . This, it is thought, ! probably due to the intense heat which has prevail ed at Nashville for the past several months. There" is yet some time before the show; is closed (it is un derstood it will remain open through October) "which will af ford an opportunity for all who desire to see it to do so. " ' The v grounds, are reached by several! car lines and by railroad. They are located several miles from the center of the city. The visitors all appear pleased with the show". The prices" of board and lodging are quite reasonable. 4 THE TRIP HOME. . ' The- trip would not- be complet ed without slopping, ; en route hAine, at Chattanooga and taking in Tookwit Mountain. Its sum- THE PRICE OF COTTON. The News says there is a wide spread feeling that other towns paymore for cotton than Charlotte. As a consequence of this feeling cotton that ought to be sold there' is being carried elsewhere. We are . glad to note that no such feeling- exists in Kowan. Good cotton always brings the top of1 the market here. -Salisbury's cotton buyers are all home folks. As a result they are deeply inter ested in the welfare of both the farmer and the merchant and hence pay the highest price possi ble for each grade. They will, if need be, strain a poinf to secure the cotton. This is well. There have-been a few cases in times past when farmers sold cotton at other points rather than Salisbury,- but the occurrences have been rare, and in these instances the causejias been the result of The corner stone df the Confed erate monument at Lynchburg, Va., will be laid October J2. Sen ator Daniel will deliver jin ad dress. Secretary Alger proposes to run a locomotive sled on the Yukon river to get supplies tQ starvin treasure seekers in Alaska this winter. The Duchess, of Marlborough formerly Miss Consnelo Yander bilt, gave birth to a son Saturday morning.at Spencer House, Difca Ijondon residence. An agent of the government sent to Alaska to report on the outlook, writes a graphic letter on the terrors of the trip across Alaska to the "Klondike gold fields a misunderstanding. The Salisbury buyers know that the farmers generally spend their money, or at least a part of it, where they sell their cotton, hence the wisdom in paying the top , of the market. Again; there is no reason why - good cotton should riot N bring as .'much here or in v - - . . Charlotte as any where. . The buy ers here have, on occasions, paid slightly more than the quoted price of the staple in order to sat isfy the farmer. This, with the fact that the highest prices are al ways paid, makes Salisbury one of the best cotton markets in the State. . . We trust there will never be rqom for complaint along this line by the farmers of Rowan. . Boy Dies of Hydrophobia. Savannah, Ga., ; Sept. 20. A special to the Morning News from Griffin, Ga., says that a 7-year-old white child of that town died of hydrophobia, today. He was "bit ten by " a mad dog in May. . On Saturday he began to show signs of hydrophobia, and died in dread ful convulsions. The . case was carefully watched by the local physicians, and they agreed upon a diagnosis. - j . There have thus far been a total of thirty-five cases of yellow fever in New Orleans and the death rate has not yet reached ten per cent. Dr. Glennan reports eleven new- cases at Mobile. . The prosecution in the Luetgert murder trial, Chicago, will try to prove that the motive for the al leged murder of Mrs. Luetgert was her husband's desire to marry Mary Siemering," his servant. Ten batteries of-horse and field artillery have been ordered from England to India; it is surmised that this large increase in artillery for . India means trouble with Af ghanistan and perhaps Russia. Three daughters of Preston How ard were burned tb death Saturday at Port Alma, on the shore of Lake Erie. The girls were aged sixteen, ten and six years, respectively. One of them had escajjed, but met her, death in returning to assist her sisters. Mrs. Howard and two sons were seriously hurried.
