YOL. SALISBURY,!??. C;, WEDN PQDAY, JFEBBUARY 15, 1905 ESTABLISHED 1 8T UPBUILDING OF v SALISBURY AS GUARANTEED 1 $150,000 Bond Issue for Trolley Line, Gas and Negotiated WILL BE FLOATED BY PROVIDENCE CONCERN Immediate Completion Spena :er tor Chestnut Hill and Other Impi movements Mr. S. N. Blake, who has been in Salisbury for several days looking Into the affairs of the Salisbury and Spencer Railway Company, yesterday closed the trade for the American Gas and Electric company of Providence, R. I., of which Company he is Presid ent, with the Salisbury and Spencer issue of bonds, $150,000.00. This, beyond all question, insures the immediate completion and equip ment of the trolley road between Chestnut, Hill and Spencer, in a first class manner in every respect, and the laying and extending new gas mains on all of the principle streets v a 1 11 a. i . m ui lue v;iij. aisu tuts uxiwisiua m. me i electric light system in Salisbury, and 1 to inaugurate and operate a system of both arc and incandescent lights at Spencer. Just how much the successful nego tiation of the bond issue means to Salisbury and Spencer can hardly be overestimated. The local capitalists who have projected the improvements anl made so considerable a start, have spent much of their own money and stood ready to sink their last dollar In the enterprises, buf now there will be no delay of any sort, and there will be money enough that the equipment and service will be of the vervbest. It thus becomes a matter of only a few months when the trolley line will com mence operation, welding Salisbury and Spencer into one greater city, T. H. Vanderford said this morning that, besides the electric line, it is in tended to lay gas mains in every street and push the. gas business for all it 4 FIRES LAST NIGHT IN CHICAGO WITH 20 BELOW ZERO (Special to The Sun) Chicago, Feb. 14 At half past two this morning, fire broke out in the Ho tel Brevot and the building was gut ted by 7:30 with the loss of a quarter of a million. Three hundred guests had narrow eseapes, but it is believed that all were safely removed. Five firemen were injured. Shortly after almost the whole GONE TO HER REWARD 1 Aunt Prudenee Perkins, Colored Wo- man of Older Sort, Passes Away "Aunt" Prudence Perkins, a good old colored woman of East Liberty street, died yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock at her home. She used to be long to the Fisher family, in Salis bury, and the following letter has been received by her children from Miss Christine Fisher of Inniss street: Prudy is about sixty years old. I do not know what month she was born In, but know that her mother died in the autumn of 1845, and she was a baby at the time. I am very sorry that she Is gone. Electric Lights Successfully ' of Electric Line From are Assured Is worth. There are now only about 50 gas ranges in use here, while requests for a hundred more have been turned down on account of their being no connections, but now it is believed that one can be placed in almost ev ery house. The extension of the elec tric lighting is also another great im provement that can be immediately carried out. Mr. Vanderford says that the arc lights here compare favorably with those in other and larger cities but the incandescent lights have not been satisfactory. The remedy of this and the producing of light so de- sirable and cheap that every family will want to use it in the home hcs I been long hoped for and bow it be- I comes a possibility of the immediate future. J Every building lot from the more thickly settled part of 1 Salisbury to the heart of Spencer baa within a short time passed from the hands of the original owner to people who hav built or intend to build thereon. As fast as the houses are built, they are rented, and the demand already far exceeds tne supply, A great impetus win De given to ouiiaing oy tne com- pletion of the trolley line, which is soon destined to pass in front of not a single vacant lot. There are few cit- ies undergoing so rapid a growth in this direction as Salisbury, yet only the beginning has come so far. . It means that more employes of the Southern will bring . their families here, that with more population there will be more business, and that Salis bury is on the high road to such an awakening as has been experienced by Charlotte. TEMPERATURE strenght of the fire department had hurried to the Brevot fire, alarms were turned in fromtw o other places where high office buildings were burning and soon alarms were turned in from all over the city, forty fires in all be- ing lougnt during the night. .

S. Orne of Greater New York, which have to do with the future weal or woe of this city and county. "v- Dr. Orne is hot a sensationalist, nor is he a sentimentalist, but a sound teacher of Scriptural truth, concern ing children, aetudent of sociology of more than a quarter xl a Cintur7. He has personally inspected the charita ble and correctional institutions of the United- States and Canada, in the interests of indigent and ill treated children, hence knows just what he is talking about. The doctor declares we are raising a crop of crooks, and criminals, gamblers and good for noth- ings, and challenges contradiction. Said the doctor waxing warm upon the subject so dear to his heart, and to which he and his good wife give all their talents and time, without so ciety or salary. "Jesus Christ voiced the value of a child when He took Um in His arms and said, 'Of such is the kingdom of Heaven, children today are turned away from Him, and are sold to lives of shame and sin. There are over 300,000 bright beautiful girls, sold annually to lives of sin and shame in this so called those rescued claim to come from Christian families. What will He say to pious parents for producing prod iipals and prostitute?.: The tragic thing about our criminals is threfri youth. Beardless boys and baby girls behind the bars. Surely Salisbury has added to the annals of her history, a sad shameful chanter on childish crime that will not be read with re- joicing by future generations "Now there are at least. 2.000 chil dren in this citv of the' same class as this little girl to be tried this term of court for murder, who if left longer loose, not taken charge of, controlled cared , for and cultivated into Chris tian citizens, will inevitably increase your chapter on criminology." HEAVY STORM AT. MANNING Manning, Feb., 14. Here's our Val entine to The Sun, with best wishes and kindest regards. P. S. Kluttz is atending court this case of small consequence. Mrs. Rev. H .A. Trexler has been kept within her room for several days past with a spinal ailment. This section has been completely tied up for the past ten days on ac count of the very cold weather. The ground is covered by a sheet of ice several inches thick and is not likely to thaw soon. Yesterday a: noon for one hour we were again caught un: awares by the most severe snow storm of the winter, accompanied by a pierce ing Northwest wind, which caused the Mercury- to drop suddenly way below freezing point, inconsequence of which last night was by far the coldest of the year W. S. SIFFORD TO 'LEAVE SALISBURY We are sorry to note that Mr. and Mrs. Richard Munger, who have made this city their home since last May are to leave Salisbury, Thursday. Mr. Munger came here as a repre- sentative of the Metropolitan Life In- surance company, andby his straight- forward, honorable, business methods has made many friends, who will hear with regret of his departure.

Mr. and Mrs. Munger go from here to Iowa, where they will visit Mr. Munger's family and from there to Dallas, Texas, where they will be lo cated in the future. Read The Sun The People's Paper. GENTLE KNOCK ON THE LEGISLATURE Raleigh Harbinger Contains Car toon Drawn by One of Its Spencer Subscribers ABOUT CHILD LABOR At Reqaest of a Workingman, Sun Reproduces Article as Appeared in Harbinger ,The 3ua ha received the following getter: Spencer, N. C, Feb'y 13, 1S0S. Editor Salisbury Sun Dear Sir: Believing you are a friend of the working elaes (as you v 1 should be) and knowing that without their support no daily paper could long exist in our midst, I moet reepectfully and earnestly request that you pub lish enclosed artiele from the "Raleigh Harbinger" entitled "Where Will it End?" believing that we are, ae work ingmen, not requiring our legislators to protect, or provide for, our inter ests as they should, knowing as we do, that we being in the majority wb have the power to remedy those evils with the ballot, if they only could be con vinced that "All is not well at Ral eigh." Tours truly, WORKINGMAN. The article in question follows: - Where Will it End ? We received a penciled cartoon from a valued subscriber at Spencer, which is exceeding well executed. It is head ed "N. C. Legislature." On the wall, near a platform , is a sign tacked up with the words "Lobbyists Welcome (if of the rich kind;") below being another sign bearing the words, "Ne thing for Labor Bills." On the plat form stand two men, one with a check book protruding from his coat pocket, with a diamond on his shirt front, with his, left hand pointing to the signs, while his right hand is receiving coin from a 'well dressed lobbyist, covered with $ marks, holding a bag crossed wjth . In his rght .hand is a light ed cigar. Below the platform is a man representing Labor, with that word marked across his square hat. "La bor is walking away from the legisla tive halls, leading a 14 years old, bare footed boy with his right hand, while with his left hand he holds a 14 years old girl. Neither could read nor write On the4eft of the platform is a willow basket. labeled "Rubbish." from which bills marked "Child Labor,' "Educational Bills," "Labor" are stick- ing out. The cartoon is very sugges tive of the recent killing of the Mc- Kelway bill, preventing children un- rir frmrtfcm vpars nf afffi from work- ing in manufacturing establishments unless they can read and write. But the powerful "third" house, composed of rich maunfacturers who exploit child labor for the dollars their labor brings them, regardless of the fact that they cannot read and write, de feated the bill. Labor is driven from the halls of legislation because workingmen elect ed their bosses to the Democratic, leg islature by 50,000 majority, instead of sending workingmen there to repre sent them. "Oh ,what fools these mortals be! This legislature is not legisla. tins- in the interests of workingmen. It is true they sent them, because they thought their bosses had more sense than they .had, and, be- sides, they hated to split their ticket, but they will never get anything In the line of labor legislation until they do split , their tickets or form a new party, or unless the republican party becomes almost as powerful as the Democratic, in order to put each party on probation and let the fittest rule. If the "seed corn". is used up In fac- tories and work shops, whilethe lit- tie piccaninnies are going to school it will not be long before we have two evenly balanced parties. Then the rich lobbyist's occupation will be gone. His successful lobbying will bring jibout just such a condition of affairs. For all News read TUB SUN.

This is one of the nort in- teresting cases that will come TP be- fore this term. It is charged that Mary Bat , a lit tle negro girl of about 12 years of age, after stripping Blanche Christian, a ! little blind negress of about the same age, of all her clothing, threw her in to the reservoir at the City pumping station, about one and one hals miles from town. v" The mother of the dead child testi fied that she left her daughter Blanche tat home playing in the yard, while she was out at her work, an dreturn ing about the middle of the afternoon gave her something to eat.
