SALISBURY, N. 6., WEDNESDAY, MftY 11, 1904 ESTABLISHED 1887. LOBE SALISBURY'S GROWTH. What the Southern Railway is Do irie for a town. A Great Num ber of Alanufacturing Enter prises.! Though Salisbury- is one of the oldest cities in the State, And pos sible in the South, it renews its youth vigorously. The city and suburbs arc all on an immense scale of development. 'Many new buildings are going up and new additions arq being laid out. The prime cause seems to be the en larged scale upon which the South ern Railway so?;h to be entering with it? improvements.. The pop ulation, though now 14,000, is daily increasing rapidly. The shops of the Southern are at Spencer, three miles from the city, now be ing connected by electric car line under construction; for strange to say, no street -cars are yet found here. Spencer has 3,500 inhabitants, yet it is not seven years old. The new shops going up at Spencer are upon the largest scale of any railway shops in the ' State, prob ably. The yards have 20 miles of track-and T0 trnVs laid. The com pany employ 1,2;)0 and pay them $70,000 each month. When the new shop is completed (the found ation of which i:l ;k) is hosting over $50,000): "'the -outlay will have been over half million. New ton Heights and Oakland Park, suburbs of Spencer, are on an immense boom also, judging from a. buggy ride delightfully taken over the grounds, and noting the recent sales made, Mr. Chas. B. Jordan kindly pointed out to us very much of the city in a 20 mile buggy ride. I judge he would be glad to -.answer questions as to real estate about Spencer. Newton Heights and Oak Grove Park are the two latest additions. They have streets' graded, sidewalks (plank) laid, trees set out,, etc. This is all d6no by the Spencer Developing Co. of which Mr. Chas. 15. Jordan is general manager. Salisbury has three cotton. facto ries, two ' foundries') ' two roller mills and a 80,000 knitting mill. A $20,000 addition to the public school building is being erected and one equally costly to the White-head-Stokes Sanitarium is just com pleted. The Negro College of Salisbury has 400 students in at tendance. It is . under the auspi cious of the African' M. E. Church. The professors' homes are quite modern looking and neat. The new Bnptist church is about completed. The congregation are hoping to secure llev. F, II. Mar tin, of Salem. Va., as pastor. The national Cemetery, with its rz,uu graves, is-a beautiful place! of sad memories. One of the most stately and cosK ly residence in Salisbury, is the palatial home of E. B; C. Ilambley president of the Whitney Reduction-Co., :on Fulton street, which cost $79,000. It is enclosed by a beautiful cut stone wall, and its grounds are well kept and very beautiful. , - A meeting is in progress at the Chestnut Hill Baptist church, Rev. Mr. Aycock is doing the preach ing. Some interest is being man ifested in it. Charlotte Observer. MR. SNUCGS IS DEAD. County Treasurer of Stanly Coun ty Died Sunday at the Sana , t torium. Mr. i. w. brought here Snuggs, who was from Albemarle Chnrsday to lake .treatment died Sunday morning about 3 :;0 o'clock: He was in a very hopeless condi tion when brought here, and it was taking desperate chances on life that he came. Mr. Snuggiwasone of Stanly's lest citizens, at one time sheriff of Stanley county, and ' at the time of his. death, was treasurer of it. He had besides interests in the business world that were not incosequential. Mr. Snuggs was a Confederate soldier and lost his right leg in the service of his state. One of his great friends, is Mr. J. Calvin Rasinger, of Lisk. Mr. Basinger lost his left leg in the army. When one of these gentle men purchased a pair of shoes, he would send the other to his com- 1.' ir . n raue. -r. . onuggs was o years old. The remains were shipped to Albemarle Sunday night, and the body accompanied by his two sons and a daughter. THE NEW POSTOFFICE. It Will be in a Specially Bnilt Room of the Johnston Block. Since it was determined to move the postoffice from its present quarters, there has been no little interest in the location of the new office. Last week. T. P. Johnson fc company were awarded the con- tract for building the new quarters and it is expected to have them ready for occupancy by the first of October. - " The new building will be what we call a tony affair. It is to be built of fine granite and pressed brick. The location will be ad joining the present Johnston block on the corner of Council tnd Main streets. The edifice will be 30 by 00 feet, the increased demand of of the public requiring the ehlarg ment. MR. A. L. SMOOT. The above cut is of the Register cf Deeds of Rowan eounty. He is now closing the second term and stands for renomination. Mr. Swoot was elected to follow one of the most popular officers this coun ty ever had, Mr. H. N. Woodson, but-the office and the people have, not suffered. The present incum bent has never had a superior. He was educated at Trinity Col lege, has taught in Texas, and all tnat is virile ana progressive in j t - 1 the commonwealth,' he represents. jrie win nave no opposition' in tne primary, ana wnen ne retires two years hence, he will do it with the ,.ii. i. a: 1.: 1 eiaie ui ins enure constituency.

The sentiment and action recom mended in the circular signed by us represent temperance Democrats, our League being composed almost entirely of such arfd was intended to reach temperance Democrats all over the county. It is due to those wnose names were suggested as proper candi dates to be voted for in the prima ries to say that they were used without their knowledge or author- lty. They being known as true Democrats of the highest charatctcr in every respect and eminently worthy of the votes of every true man, had not been consulted nor ' -a . 1 asked for any pledge, being men whom all can trust to be true to every principal of Democracy and moral right. They are- recom mended in that circular not as can didates of the League; but as Dem ocrats for whom every true Demo- crat can conscientiously and con- ' ai aa that Temperance Democrats make the eon test in the primaries. As Democrats they deem it their du- tv. KHends of the temperance cause have the right to consult and agree as to candidates for whom to vote for in the primaries. This thev will do and attend and vote, Having done so they will abide tne result of the convention. Does this make plain where they stand? Surely any reasonable person, who does "not insist on misrepresenting them can not fail to understand The Anti-Saloon League of Sal- isbury merely advises all Temper- ance Democrats to act together in tho nrim.rlos.

Chapter of , Children From Oxford Asylum to Tour a portion of the State. i The Globe is requested to print the following: .'- On May 26th the singing class of the Oxford Orphan asylum will enter unon a tour of the eastern section of North Carolina. Con- certs will be given in our various jtowns and cities, usually upon invi tations and under auspices of the local Masonic lodges. After an internal of several weeks spent at Oxford the children will begin, about the middle of July, a tour of the western part of the State. - I en girls4: six boys and a lady and gentleman compose the party. The character of these concerts "is known, The pure, bright, humor- ous programme well rendered by the boys and girls makes an unus ually attractive entertainment worth, in itself, far more than the admission fee charged. The cause in the interest of which the con certs are given is deservedly claim ing more and more of the love and support of our people. As stated in the past, the pur- pose or tnese tours is to an or dt, pleasure and benefit to our people, to lpipress upon them even more strongly the prime importance of child saving, child-training effort, to secure their even heartier sup po rt for the orghan cause, and to raise funds to aid in the mainten ance of the Oxford Orphan asy lum. This institution is now car ing1 for 250 of the homeless boys and girls of the State. Its benefits are not restricted to the children of Masons. Since its establish ment in 1872 nearly 2,000 boys and girls have been under its pro tection, care and training. The cnildren s concerts grow in favor r and our good people are readier to aid the cause each year. Last year the tours were 'more successful in every respect than ever before. and valuable thiv yeaf.' We Speak for them the 'very heartiest support of all our people.
