Chief of the fire depart ment, M. V. B. Capps, as sisted by Mr. Charles 11. Swink, completed the report of the Salisbury fire depart ment last night and forwarded the report to New York this morning. The report is used by the jnaurance companies in com piling their statrftiet and ar ranging rates, and it may be of interest to Salisburians to know that this city's low rate of insurance (which is as low as that of any city in the State) is duo to the efficiency of the fire department and their superior equipment. The report shows that the Salisbury Fire Department owns property to tho amount ' of $7200. The ha"v 2100 feet of first class nose ana are otherwise splendidly equipped. Aii effort will be made by the company to prevail on the aldermen to stable the horses at the city hail and to provide a one horse hook and ladder for the company. By this plan it is hoped to use oue of tin horses to the hook and ladder and the other to reel. SCHOOL COMMITTEE MEETS- MR. KLUTTZ'S EFFORT.

"One of the largest' national cemeteries in this country is locat ed at Salisbury, N. C, the city where I was born and now reside.

There are over 11, 000 unknown dead in this ceme tery, which is kept in splendid re pair by the government. A watch man is stationed there to euard the property, but the road from Salisbury out to the cemetery is so poor that travel is difficult. The road is narrow, and is located on ground that belongs, as right of way, to the Southern Railroad. In winter it is almost impass able." - 44 Why are the names of so many soldiers buried there unknown?' .
