Index Tie Gernaa Aisiaaas The following are specimens of the contents of the old almanac belonging to John W. Glover, and which was printed in Salisbury 101 years ago translated for The Index by Capt. W. Murdoch Wiley. The following is the translation of the cover: The High German North' Carolina Town and Country Calendar for the vear of Our Lord 1798, tha fame being a common ear of 805 days. Salisbury: Piinted and for sale by F. Coupee and J. M. Schhimp, at their German and English Print ing Establisment Page 1 gives a birth register of the then reigning emporors. kings, queens, princes, etc. Then follow the usual atronomioal and me teorological data found in all well regulated almanacs, likewise a list of the eclipses and other ce lestial phenomena billed to ap pear during the year. ' The rest of the book is made up princi pally of selected short stories, poems of dubious merit and jokes and anecdotes, stale and senile gven -jn that far. away time. Nothing ot lotStresbut the calendar ot county ana supe ron courts for this state and that of the courts of equity and general sessions in South Carolina. There i3 also a table sho wing the dis tance by postroad between . tho various important towns of the state.' The book concludes with a preface in which the merits of the production are loudly chanted, and subscriptions thereto stren uously sought. The age of the book alone ren ders it- interesting its contents are as vapid as those of Hosteller's latest edition. Our Advertisers. Our esteemed city coniempo- rary, wnose priuiant eaiiorais i i 'ii' . i i t have produced such splendid re sults in bringing reforms in our city to pass (see Monday's Sun), stated, in its editorial column yesterday,that its advertisers write excellent reading matter and that the Sun carries no dead ads. We agree. with our neighbor; its advertisers write well,' as many of them show ua by placing aderiist ments with us. We are highly gratified at the liberal patronage given us by many of the business men of the city, by advertising with us in our infancy, and sincerely thank them for tho saniv?. We suspect that our read ers find them as interesting in the Index as in our neighbor. Prob ably they will appear as well, in every respect, when our cylinder press and new outfit arrives. Meantime we call special atten tion to jjll in the Index, and as sure our readers that they will find our advertisers live, enter prising, and reliable. Vre hearti ly commend them all. Ret. W. H.

Biblical Kecorder. ' Glory, to God in the highestl should be the retrain upon the lips of North Carolina Baptists. As the Recorder goes to press and the books close, we are enabled to send this word out to the Baptist host as it advances upon Ashe ville: We are within $416,83 of having money to meet every obli gation of the Board. Our note due at bank Decen ber 1st is paid, the long standing overdraft of $1, 069.07 is wiped, out, and the mis- 6naneiin?etiair8y-00 of be ing paid off dn full.wfeJiave not hoard from all the collecjions of the churches of yesterday,! and we expect by the next J "mail remit tances. - A We have recei JLjng the year for State Misiphs'f 2K074.98 for Home Missions, $5,607.50; Foreign Missions, $10,672.79. This is $8,145.89 more than we re ceived for these objects last year, which was the best year in our his tory in contributions to the&e causes. ; Jno. E. White, Corresponding Secretary, Monday Night, Postmaster General -Smith., in his report just submitted, shows an expense over r .ceips of the postal department of $6,610,776.- 75, and attributes the shortage to "the perversion and abnse of hei""11 ever saw before ttt onetime privilege accorded by law to eec-ond-class matter." Second-class matter is made up of the newspa pers and kindred publicrtions of the county. The only special privilege we know of enjoyed by them is-the free circulation in the country in which published. At all events the expense to the gov ernment can only result by the distribution of reading matter and this tends to greater and better education of the masses... It seems strange that just as weare talking of extending the free delivery sys tem into rural districts it should be urged" that a burden be placed upon publishers and therefore upon the reading masses. The postal department never has been, and was never expected to le money making department. That it comes so near it now is largely owing to the improved and improving intelligence 01 tne people, brought about to a large degree by the rapidly enlarging distribution cr -newspapers. To institute the "reform" suuggested by the Postmaster General would help the large dailies, but would seriously cripple country weeklies, one of the most useful agencies of public education of the masses that we have. Let the system re main as it is, if not extended. Raleigh Post. . The rumor that old man Jou bert. the . Boer commander-in-chief in South Africa, was killed in a recent battle with the British, continues to bob up occasionally. We do not believe that Joubert is dead but we have no doubt that the British heartily wish him dead. He's interfering with their businrss. Statesville Landmark. There are two financial bills before Congress, one in the House, another in the Senate. It is thought that the Spea- I, .,. . , . ker will announce the various ! committees just before the Qristuias recess. 1 1 made the trip a pieaaurrtlls t to a veteran. I had some flatJalia to the cotton 'belt of Alabama ud Mississippi, nnd as the larder was low and the family purse looked like an elephant had trod on it.and taxes were to pay and coal to buy, and my female folks were in need ot- winter garments, my wife said I had better go. That settled it, and here I am in Meridian. Many years have passed since I visited the growing city and I hardly recognized it. It has since grown from 800 to 18,000 people, and now puts on metropoli tan airs, for it is the largest town in MiHsi&dppl. It used to tie a dirty place, and was a dug out for saloons and disreputable quarters. Six years ago there was a great awaken ing and the saloons were 'ibolihed and many of those who supported them left for parts unknown. Grass didn't grow in the streets as was predicted, but the town took on new life. Mr. Dial was elected mayor on temperance principles and a system of public works waiat once inaugu rated. Since then fifty miles of sew erage has been laid and thirty milea of sidewalk paved and twelve blocks of street graded and paved with vit rified brick and as many more with chert. Two cotton mills and an oil mill and a splendid system of water umpire Kntrs A..i . s nvir iibkc uccu csinouaut'u. CIS large buildings for the public schools have been erected. ' Two female col leges have been planted there. The new city has gas works and street nd nfevv re-stdences with hand- r"rhc;e are in sight on all the highlands tharon the c i never knew before that th... a hill wifhin miles of Meridian, btA th?re are not only hills, but a mile or two south there are mountain ridges likethoHe in upper Georgia, and . from - these come the gushing springs that supply the city with the purest water. There is no better kept hotel than the Southern good fare, good beds, good service of eve ry kind and what was best of all to me the people gave me a good audi ence, all select, especially the eighty college girls who came arrayed in college uniform. I saw more cotton and place. Meridian compresses and markets I50,0o0 bales; and half of it is there now! the warehouses and outside. Much of it has been sold, and cannot be moved for lack of car. Cottou is still thejktng. While at breakfast onernorning two northern men took feats at the san e table and one remarked: "This town is on a boom. They are build ing all over it." "Yes," said the other, "the whole south is on the upgrade, and if it keeps on Bryan won't carry a single southern State." well, they were fur MeKinley, of course, but they will know by wait ing. A northern man who has nev er been South finds much to interest and astonish him. Not long ago Mayor Dial took-one over the city and asked him what he would like to see specially. He replied that he would like very much to see where the negroes lived and how they live- ed. So the Mayor drove up to negro town, where he saw numerous wo men and children and heard them laughing and talking merrily. "What are they Inughing at?" he in quired "I didn't know they ever laughed." "Why," raid Mr. Dial, "they laugh all the day long; they laugh at anytning." "Is it possi ble?" exclaimed the ypnk'ee. "Sup pose we stop and ask them what they are laughing about? My curi osity is greatly excited." So the Mayor stopped, and calling one of the women whom h' knew to the gate, said: "Hannah, this gentle man is from the north up in God's Country and ys he didn't know that the hegro-s down here ever laughed, and he wants to know what you were all laughing about as we drove up." This of course, pro voked another Hpell and all they got out of them was that -'Jinny axed Mandy which was de most alike, a 'possum or a coon?" The strauger was profoundly impressed, and made a note in his memorandum book. Mr. Dial says the new law about voting works well in Mississippi, and has ceased to excite any com ment or dissent. The negro popula tion of Meridian is about equal to the white, but there are only about fifty colored voters most of these are teachers preachers and barbers. j Abwut eiSh5 registered the first : year mier we ww wu (naecu, uui : th 0 nnmr hfla dH( rMed fmm to v:ir.

' Mr. Dial says that th registrar's office was in his office, and that officer was uniformly con siderate toward the negnies who ap plied. Some of them who couldn't read made right good answers when called ,on to explain a clause In th consiitntion, and if he was a good negro he was questioned very light ly and was admitted. But some who could read missed it a mile and were rejected. The law, he aid, was harder on a poor, trifling white man than it was on a thrifty, industrious negro. But nobody make any fuss about it or proposes to change it. Well, I have been -impatiently waiting on the stars, but do not be lieve that this is the vear for th meteors my books do not say so. Humboldt is pretty high authority, and so is Appleton's cyclopedia, and bath say .the periodic interval ia thirty-four years instead of th'rty- three. They fell in 1790 and in and a partial display in 1807, mid o they will not come again until 1901 year after next. And the anni versary was 12th ad M.n, Novem ber, which has already paved.

Jonesboro Progress: Mr. Allen Bowie, of Lemon Springs, one of the oldest citizens of this section of country died at "the home of hi nephew. J. Bowie, on last Saturday morning, November 28th, 1899. Ho was about ninety years of age.

Asheboro Courier: Jim McCray, a negro, had a row with Dr. Blair and Lawyer . Blair. They kicked him out doors. He, went, dawn street drunk, when Policeman Hen ry Jenkins attempted to arrest him. The negro resisted arresl, and his two brothers, Jim and Itufe, came up and aided him in resisting. The Policeman shot Jim, cutting off two fingers, the ball lodging In his neck A four inch gash was cut in the Deck of Rufe McCray. None of the white people were hurt. Jim is up and about, but the doctor cays the bullet in hU neck will kill him jsouie time. Fayetteville Observer: Thirty five Sampson families have moved to Fayetteville in the last month to work in the several coftou factories. We have this from the head of one of these familiss. Two bales of silk goods, the first manufactured by the Ashley Baily mill in this city, were shipped north jesterday. Who would have thougnt twenty yean ago that Fayetteville would be shipping man ufactured silk abroad before the twentieth 'century, and still less, that iMs not improbable that before the new century is many years gone, Fayetteville may be a (si Ik as well as cotton manufacturing center? News from the South African war is still meager and unsatls- factory. The news . all comes through Englisn sources and the fact that they tell the world so little aoout wnat is going on forces jone to the conclusion that the Boers are at least holding- their own against the British. If the latter were winning great victories we would soon have all the details. In an article de scribing the fighting qualities of the Boers, printed in The Land mark today it is stated that they have no bands of martial musio but before going-into battle they sing "Old Hundred." An ene my like that will not be easily conquered, When men are im bued with religious enthusiasm, when they believe that their cause is right, and that the Al mighty is on "their side; they fight to the death. The Boers, too, are fighting for their fire sides; they are defending their homes and country against an invader. The British will win in the end but the war will be bloody and protracted.
