The South Yadkin's Rage.- " The following is from Capt. Jack Lindsay, South River. I drop you this to inform you and friends that we are still in the land of the living and not washed away. .1 wrote you before of the hail and the rain; well it was equally as severe Saturday night as then but no hail. The river rose all day Sunday-six inches per hour and Monday until 3 p. m., 4 inches per hour. It reached the same notch in the mill house-exactly as it did in Au gust 1889, two feet, seven inches. It has been higher only once since the present mill has been built. That was in '77 or '78. The mill is alright as far as we know after a good scouring. Our lumber and gunnels for the new flat started but we were for tunate in getting them tied to trees and saved them all right. Telephone News. In the" ensuing two weeks work will be begun by the Salisbury Telephone Co., on their exchange with the view, of ; perfecting the service and giving our people as good, if not better service than that enjoyed by even larger towns than ours.

We believe no stronger ticket can be nominated; and as our town, bright with promise if the oppor tunity is seized, must develop to meet the demands of the times. we are ready men above to risk the gentle- mentioned. Let us concentrate qn i them, and elect them I Progressive Citizen. APPEAL. FOR GOOD MEN. I see no objection in rotation, when we select town officers. But Christian men, members of the church, j fried ds of temperance. why not try and select men for various offices WHO are in sym pa temperance move thy with our ment regardless of whether they are now in office or not. While it's true this is no : a prohibition elec true when we elect tion, it is also anti-temperan se men wo cannot expect their j support when the time conies. But rather to the contrary. Brethren, friends, -Abe devil says, "Prohibition does not prohibit," and he is not far wrong, when men in office are on his side to help carry lils points. Let" us be wise, j Can we not foresee the eyiU God hel r us to see it and di rect our minus, in selecting, our men for then coming municipal election.? May they be intelligent Christian nier (who are fearless as regard to du yv men who love young maribo xl, whartriirsytn patby with th 3 widow and orphan. Tnese are the kind of men who can lay the foundation for pros perity. I Then our sons and daugh ters, who are to soon till our places, will r call us blessed ior having retuovted a curse, tnat aw- ful curse the iquor traffic. ' - Voter. ROTATION IN OFFICE. , Mr. Editor:- j-I wish to take up a few lines of your' valuable paper, in answer to the article that ap peared in same lasjt Saturday, the 18th, signed, "a Voter and Tax- office." I doh't wish to discuss the Mayoralty question as advanced by the writer, but wish to come to the Tax Collector part of his article. He says that 'Rotation in Oflice," is one of the "principles of De mocracy ."It may to the writer's mind eye, but not to ours. We grant that tho last County Demo cratic Convection declared that we make achangein the county officers next time. But as we understand it, the city has .never taken any such steps. We can't see the ad vantage of malting a change in the tax col 1 ector's office, as the pres ent incumbent,, Mr. George H. Shaver,! has always been a compe tent and reliable officer, affable, kind and obli ?ing to all and has always been : ound in the foremost ranks of De nocracy. We: have nothing personally against Mr. Brown, the a spirant for the . office, as we believe him tobe a man of untarnished character and good report among his fellow men, but we don't see the necessity: of a change just because a man wishes to try his - hand at the job, when we have already. a true, tried and capable office r, one well deserving our support, j As Salisbury is now j ust about to push herself " to the front and keep stride with her sis ter cities in the march of progress, a sure way to success is to have good, experienced officers, and ' we think that M . onaver as our tax I well know how to collector wi push'our citv to the front. Let the citizens the im us. urge upon portance of riot making a change inst vet. vv e ieei assurea tnat after youhav e carefully considered the matter t pat you will unanii mously give Mr. Shaver your sup port in the coming primaries. f RUDENTJA PINE RAEJ tJDICI A. p-tqdate Millinery at Mrs. A: Mu I 1 donn phy's.
