Three Million Dollars Invested Since 1890. 4 To the Editor: Replying to your request relative to tne in dustrial development and general progress of Salisbury ; within the past few years, i am - pleased to furnish you with- the; :f olio wing, rather hastily prepared and, m many particulars, incomplete state raent. For the purposes of this article I shall include immediate suburbs of the city inr my estimates.- .. ' ; 1. The population of Salisbury .i a . is about 12,000 as against less than j . " . . . : Ai 5,000 in 1890. 2 Capital invested in Salisbury and vicinity along industrial lines since 1890 about as follows: . Cotton mills 500,000; Southern m. " . . - shops and other railroad property, $500,000. Union Copper Mining Company, $1000,000; Reduction " Company, $50,000; uunn s pany capitalized at; ou,uuu; (capitalized at) $350,000; Cordage Mill, Knitting Factory, Electroplating Works, roller mills, iron and wood works, etc., etc., $200,000. Added to this numer our other industries which I have not the space to particularize and the grand total of ..investments" in manufacturing and .other- indds trial branches since 1890 is ap proximately $3,000,000.- , 3. The amount of wages paid by. these industries- annually to their labor is about as follows: Cotton mills, $13,000; Southern shops, $600,000; Union Copper Mine, $300,000; all other manufac tories about $200,000; a grand total of $1,230,000. 4. The aggregate number of employes at the various cotton mills is about 800; the Southern Southern-- triinter--he4y;l Granite works, 250; other indus tries 900 tntn.1 9.4-SO. 5. The total product of these l 5 j j -7 iL ine . oest miormauon ootamauie was about $2,500,000. 6. There has been during the year 1899 between $400,000 and $500,000 expended in the erection of residences and business houses. 7. Salisbury now has. three banks, viz: Davis and Wiley v capi- tal stock, $60,000; First National, capital stock, $50,000; Salisbury Savings Bank, capital stock, $35 000. 8 Our educational facilities are excellent. The public school for the whites has recently, been enlarged by the addition of two rooms and is conducted by the superintendent assisted by a splen aia corP3 OI len leacner8i - ' J-nere - mi is also a larffely attended and well- managed public school for the col ored race. ,9. ' Salisbury is perhaps the most important railroad centre in the State. It is the Southern gate- way to tne west ana. eignteen . 1 tlT M 1 1 k r ' passenger trains stop nere daily. The i Southern shops here are the largest on the entire systenr and the transfer depot is a scene of in- dustry by day and night: . There all the .freight going! South and West is consolidated into -, carload lots. ' ' 10. Salisbury has always pos sessed natural advantages in loca tion, drainage and the like which protect it from epidemics of any consequence. The general health of the community is excellent, and our city is destined to become! fa mous as a- health resort. There ... - , are two finely equipped sanuta riums here the Whitehead-Stokes Sanatarium and the Walter George Newnmn. Jr.. Hoital.

They exist to day without parallel or copies, and, above all, they prove the facts (too often overlooked) that the Confederacy achieved remark able results in the field of military service and invention.' To describe them as they . de serve will be impossible at this time; only a few striking points can be mentioned in this brief letter. Picture No. 14 represents the submarine torpedo-boat "H. L. Hunley." This was the first sub marine boat ever constructed. She sank" the "Keokuk," and was himself lost, with all her crew. We have, therefore, the only au thentic picture of a boat whose creation 'showed the power of the Southern mind to invent, and whose end proved Once more the courage of the Confederate heart to dare any peril for the cause for which we fought. In No. 4 we have the only pic ture of "The David," the first tor pedo boat ever used in naval war fare, and thus made forever fa mous. Thus it will be seen that in each of the 31 pictures is represented some notable event of historic in- erest to lis and all future gene rations which we cannot afford ;o let pass away from us. We ook to you to help us in securing them; we cannot do it alone. Can you not raise for this purpose $100 in your honored Stated If each State will raise one hundred dol- ars towards this fund we will soon have the privildge ol placing them in a permanent form in the Confederate Memorial Museum. I trust that your State may take the lead in this important work. In all Confederate work we have nevee yet appealed in vain to you nor will we now. I am yours cordially in the work. . Belle S.

It has been demonstrated re peatedly in every State in the Union and in many foreign coun tries that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a certain preventative and cure for croup. It has bo- come the universal remedy for that disease. M. V. Fisher, of Liberty, W. Va., only' repeats what has been said around tho globe when he writes: "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Reme dy in my family for several years and always with perfect success. We believe that it is not only the best cough remedy, but that it is a sure cure lor croup. It has saved the lives of our children a nuni- ber of times."
