Some Miscreant Near Spencer Fires at Passing Train. - No. 35, the south bound fast train of the Southern which passes here at 8:25, was thrown at and fired into Saturday night by some person or persons near pencer. From the best evidence that can be obtained a heavy piece of iron was thrown at the day coach and went smashing through the glass, but fortunately no one was hurt. But the trouble did not end here. When the dining car passed a shot was fired through one of the windows from a shot gun and one of the passengers in the car nar rowly escaped being hit. It is thought that the persons who are engaged in this outlawry were on a level with the train. The sheriff made a vigilant search for the parties committing the act but no clue was found to them.

John Hairston, of Davidson County Dies After Ten Months Confinement in the Bo wan Jail. John Hairston, the Davidson county negro who-was found nude on the highway by Sheriff Mon roe about ten months ago and who has been confined in - the Rowan county jail since that" r timer died Saturday night. J This announcement in itself but notes the passing away of another poor, f riendles8 negro, but the conditions surrounding his death are pitiable in the extreme. Although North Carolina has three asylums for the care of her insane (one for the white and one for the black) and although every want of this poor, unfortunate creature was supplied in so far as the county commissioners and - the best medical attention was con cerned, , he practically died for want of proper care, j It is a notorious fact that a man who is friendless and without means cannot enter a hospital for the insane from Rowan, in conse quence of which Jailer Krider has been burdened with four prisoners guilty of no other crime(?) than that of insanity, since he took charge of the jail in December. The poor negro who died Satur day night has been in a sort of a stupor for months. In fact putre fication seemed to have set in a week before he died and on ac count of the crowded condition of the jail six or eight prisoners had to occupy the same celL It is a self evident proposition hat unless the jail is enlarged this crowded condition will continue to exist. And it is also . self evident hat unless Rowan (one of the argest tax-paying counties in Western North Carolina) receives more consideration from the au thorities at the Western hospital a lepartment will have to be built in connection with the jail for the insane. There are now some un- brtunate, insane people at the countyj home and the care of them gives superintendent A. M. Brown a charge which it . was not intended he should keep. ; It is truly a deplorable condition and, if possible, should be reme died at once. - STOLE MINING TOOLS.

The Union Copper Mining Com pany is to the bad about $200 on account of the long continued lar ceny of their tools by a former foreman of an underground gang, N. W. Carter. A lettter was received by an officer of the company stating that Carter had been systematically stealing tools and advising thim to search his residence. In the meanwhile he got wind of the mat ter and got out of the way a short while before the officers started in pursuit of him. He was chased about four miles J in Cabarrus county but succeeded in escaping about dark. A search was made of his house and a valuable lot of tools that he had taken "recovered. It is be lieved that the loss to the mine from tools not recovered will ag gregate $200. What 50 cents will do.

The School Committee Will Meet With the Aldermen Thursday Night to Pass Upon it. A meeting' of the graded schools committee of Salisbury was held Saturday afternoon to discuss the proposed charter of the schools as drawn up by a committee appoint ed by the board, and to pass upon its several provisions. The only feature that gave any room for discussion was that which specified the particular moneys which should be applied for school 'pur poses. It was suggested that the use of these funds might cripple the general city fund. After much discussion it was decided that the school board should meet with the board of aldermen Thurs day night and ascertain if all the features of the charter were satis factory, in order to prevent any delay in the passage of the charter when it is sent ! to Raleigh. THE MUZZLE ORDINANCE. The First Case Up Before Mayor Lord on Saturday. The ordinance adopted by the Salisbury aldermen requiring that all dogs running at large should be muzzled by February 1st, has at tracted more than ordinary in terest, in view of the fact that but one city or town in the United States (o far as is known) has passed a similar ordinance. So far there has been but little to encourage the friends of the muzzling movement, as the. dog has been much swifter on foot - ban the policemen. In conse quence of this condition it has been impossible to tax the owners of many worthless cprs with the pen alty attached to the failure pro vided for a violation of this or dinance. The first esse was called, how ever, Saturday afternoon when the inoffensive, little, ten inch dog of Mr. T. E. Nash was placed under arrest. , "Mr. Nash, as a matter oi course, was summoned before Mayor Lord and "investigated." It developed that he was unable o find a muzzle in Salisbury and, of course, was unable to comply with the law. I There was but one thing left for Mayor Lord to do dismiss the defendant. This ends the first test of the muzzling ordinance. . It might not be amiss to state hat as many as 100 country dogs were in Salisbury Saturday with out muzzles on them.
