Empowered
All Gardens are Swept Away jby the
Storm and the Farms Seriously
Damaged by the Hard Storm
The "oldest inhabitant" has out
ljved the importance attached to
his p-enus in other days. Yet there
is considerable importance attach
ed to him as a "recollector" ; of
weather and his opinion with re
ference to the storm that has
visited Salisbury within the past
24hours is worth something.
And so we candidly admit that
it was the oldest j inhabitant who
told us this morning that Salis
bury has not been visited by such
a rain as that which fell from A p.
m. Monday until 10 this morning.
The storm began yesterday
afternoon at 3 o clock and the
rain was accompanied by wind,
thunder and lightning. - A steady
downpour continued all through
the night and this morning Salis
bury's main ' thoroughfares bore
a very striking resemblance, to lit
tle lakes. At some points the
water was six inches deep and
both streets ajad sidewalks were
overflown.
It is believed that much damage
has . been done to the farming
section of the county.

The Habit of Goosing has Grown to
Such an Extent That it has Been
Outlawed in Salisbury.
Are you goosy 2
If you are, thank the Salisbury
aldermen that yoti are to be pro
tected as long as you remain with
in the incorporate limits. ;
Strange to say comparatively
few people (and the reader will
pardon this explanatory diversion)
know what sroosinar means. It
consists df the identical cluck that
prompts a horse to push himself
when the driver gives it. By way
of establishing the, dividing line
between the horse and a human
being, however, you give the hu
man being a slight nudge when
you make this noise, and he in
voluntarily jumps and exclaims
aloud his secret thought. Byway
of illustration : Young W ill Vo-
gler the industrious newsboy of
the Union News Company's local
agency, was standing by the win
dow of the cafe Saturday night
while Manager Hennessee was
pouring out a glass of rich milk
for a patron. Vogler was speaking
to Mr. Hennessee and had; his in
dex finger leveled at the' pitcher.
Some one stepped up behind the
boy anil goosed him. Vogler was
evidently thinking of cattish, for
with his finger pointed at the milk
pitcher he shouted at the top of
his voice "CATFISH "
It is needless to add that the
patron of the cafe (who did not
understand that goosing had been
added to the sciences) only sipped
the milk, belieying that the boy
was warning him against typhoid
germs. j .
But young Vogter , is not the
only subject and the custom of
goosing susceptible individuals
has grown to such an extent that
this morning Officer Eagle notified
a young man indulging in the cer
emony at the depot that it had
been outlawed and hereafter every
offender would be indicted as a
nuisance.
And so the passing of goosing
is at hand in Salisbury. ?
The city of Atlanta has passed
an ordinance against goosing and
all the leading towns and cities in
the f South will probably follow
lead. i '
