Ed Dorton, of Gold Hill, spent yesterday and this morning in Salisbury on his way home from Concord, where he had been looking after the estate of his father-in-law, the late Benja min Burleyson. Mr. Do,rton's wife is dead but left a little daugh ter. who will come in for her r mother's estate. Connected - with the settlement of the estate comes a story as strange as true. Mr. Dorton called our attention to the following item in the Concord cor respondence of the Charlotte Ob server: . ; "An instanse of generosity and unselfish sacrifice occurred in this county when the estate of the late Benjamin Burleyson jwas in the hands of his administrator that seldom has a parallel in the records of any court. Mr. Burleyson's last wife was! Mrs. Blakely, of Lancaster, S. (f.-T who brought to "Vir now hnm a one Ron hv her tirst w j marriage. Mr. Burleyson had seven children and thus a family of j eight children were gathered on- ( der one roof. Their home at Flow's, in' this county was one of plenty and prosperity and to all human view, a long and peaceful life was before a hapy family. On one sad evening last year Mr. Burleyson was fatally hurt and died in a few hours. The widowed mother, with broken hopes, thought only of the welfare of those left to her care and consid ered the-financial prospects which were before her family, and de claring to the administrator that her property in South Carolina was sufficient for the maintenance of herself and her son, refused to accept any part of her iegal right in Mr. Burleyson's estate." Mr. Dorton says that Mrs. Bur leyson stated that she knew that her deceased husband had saved and accumulated for the sake of his children and as. 6he had been married to him only three years , and having means of her own she would refuse her dower. The estate is valued at $12,000. Suits Against Southern. The Winston correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says: Miss Etta Rayle and her broth er, Albert, are in Greensboro look ing after their suit against the Southern Railway, which is to be tried at this term of court.-They claim $5,000 each for injuries sus tainedtwo years ago. A train ran into their buggy throwing them out and inflicting injuries which kept them in their rooms for several months. - The horse they were driving was killed and the buggy demolished.

Jim Oddie (or at least this is the name by which he is known to most of. his j Salisbury friends of color) who was arrested Monday afternoon by Officers Cauble and Torrence, has been released. , And the most peculiar feature connected with Oddie's release is that the Charlotte authorities claim that they dd not want him and he says that they do. , Some time ago the Mecklenburg officers wrote the officers here and stated that Qddie was an escaped convict and authorized his arrest. The officers have been vigilant for Oddie since then and watched and only succeeded in catching him this week. In view of this fact it is Charlotte very peculiar that the people should have written that - I - they did not want mm.

The following communication handed us by one of Salisbury's prominent citizens is published by request and - indicates that the ar ticle in yesterday's Sun, described the Prohibition ! fight now on among jrronibitionists nere witn accuracy: ; . . : Mb. John M, Julian; 3 Mt Dear Sir: Is it possible that any person pretending to be a prohibitionist will oppose any .ac tion taken by a meeting of those who, "without distinction of party," are expected to meet and agree upon such action as may be deemed best to free the county and the town from "the curse of liquor still? and saloons?-' Tf so, it will be proof conclusive that "the party" is dearer ; to that person than the principle for which he poses. The question involved is one essentially and solely of moals and of police and economic policy. There can be no valid reason why any Republican, Democrat, Popu- ist or Prohibitionist should not attend the meeting, called for next Monday, provided he desires to see "the curse of liquor stills and saloons" removed - much less rea son for the last named than jf or the others. -Now is a time when Rep ublicans,- Democrats and Populists, who are perfectly loyal to their re spective parties, can, without com promising their political principles as party men, join handjs with the party prohibitionists tp try, with some prospect of success if all unite,! to secure the great boon for he country which they profess to desire most earnestly. It goes without saying that all must unite if success is to be ac hieved. Union is impossible when the success of political prin ciples demands of true party " men o staild by their respective or ganizations, i Now, no such de mand exists and i all true anti- iquor men of all political pafties can, without sacrifice of any other principle, come together and pres ent an unbroken front to those who favor the liquor abomination. Surely no one will hesitate to act. The above is prompted by your article in yesterday's Sun, pre dicting a bitter fight between political prohibitionists and anti- iquor men not belonging to that party. No such contest is possi ble, if all are sincere in seeking the accomplishment of the main object proposed by all nor will it be precipitated if conservative councils are needed. Let every anti-liquor man attend the meet ing next Monday at 12 o'clock. noon, determined to act for a united effort to accomplish the re sult desired by all. Anti-Liquor. Change of Partnership.
