He had no way of knowing whether the poor fellow was "dragging Salisbury or whether he merely put up the dry ' town argument as in offset to the accusation of being drunk.

A GOOD SH0WIK6 MADE. Good prospects tor a Splendid tlmWn nade. J The local reporter visited the Chesnut Hill school yesterday rf ternoon, and was very mucn pierc ed with the reports ot the flouri? i- ing condition as told by Profesnr Griffin, the Superintendent While the institution is only a district school, yet it is very much on the order of the graded school, haying a faculty of flour teachers and a membership of 232. ' r Professor Griffin says the aver age attendance Jast week was 158. The enrollment before the holi days was 224. there having been an increase of eight. Profesor Gnff- 9 in is an outspoken advocate of compulsory education, and is very much interested in Representative Wright's bill pending the Legisla ture no upon this subject. Mr; Wright's bill provides the obliga tory attendance for three months and Mr, Griffin thinks this is quite mild enough. He gives every good reason for his faith in righteous ness of forced attendance upon the schools. There Aare, Mr. Griffin says, 407 children of school age within the district in which he is teaching. There are only 232 less than half enrolled, and only thir ty five per cent attend regulrrly . That is thirty-five per cent of the whole number of the school chil dren residing in the district. He thinks this can be improved upon. Those aiding, Mr. Griffin are, Messrs. Corriher and Francis Tarrh and Miss Koontz. It keeps them all very much employed to hand le the large number attending.

The greatest question of the present municipal campaign is the saloon question. I im glad tl a4; the fighc is on, and personally would like to see them go. Snjply because we believe it would bo tbe wisest thing Salisbury can ever do for lierself and the count j. They say the schools cannot exist without the aid of the saloons. How do they know? They say tha town will be "dead" if they go. That will depend upon the' spirit of tbe citizens of Salisbury, not the fancies of the 6aloon element. Uxxt we forgot we have no "finger in the pie." However, we have faith in Salisbury's excellent citi zens. 1 In the Columbus asylum for the insane, of this Sttfte, there are 70 farmers, 57 laborers, -vhile the highest number from any other occupation is 7.

Tl e county of Rowan and the people of Salisbury are to be con gratulated upon having such a class of, men to engineer school matters as they have now, They have ever had ihe best interests of the schools, parents and children at heart. As a result, the Graded Schools have departed from the old simple, grammar schools, to instutiouB worthy the name, and Professor Kizer tells us, that the public schools are improving very noticeably. For this, Mr. Kizer has done much. The boards met yesterday, and transacted a big days work. One of the first im portant things done was to elect a permanent chairman, and Rev. V. R. Stickley, an excellent man, was chosen Mr. Stickley is a citi zen of China Grove, and is well ac quainted with the needs of the county. His natural bent towards matters educational, and his position-that of a minister make him a splendid person "or the place, for he know- men. Time will jus tify the wisdom of this choice Mr. Junius B. Furr of Atwel Township was elected in Atwell Township, as a trustee, to fill the place made vacant by Mr. Stick leys promotion. Capt. J. A. Fh'i er was elected as a trustee in Lock Township, in the utead of Mr. W. T Sumner who has been removed. The most important xrork of the day, va8 the apportionment of the school money. Last year with the state appropriation, th - amount per capita Wcis $1.75. This year, the apportionment reaches the highest mark ever known. That those who do not know may understand, we shall explain the manner of the distribution of school taxes. The per capita share of each schoo' child is from the county $1.50. from state 15 cents. Then on the ninth July last year a rule was rade that the funds left over fron. tin various uotau ght and urfii ished schools, should be distribute" i among the scjioo.s the pro rata being about 15 cents as it' now ttands. That makes the total $1.80 as we said the highest rate 1 now n. To all teach ers of public schools, we desire to say that th?y will not have to wait until June or July to get the state apprbpriation this year as they d'd last. Yesterday, the county tresure received a check tor $15.00 49, the amount due Rowan,, so there will be no wait. This is au other evidence of geod school management, and teachers along with parents a'nd pupils should be thankful that they are livsng.

While seated in a North Caroli na hotel lobby recently -a travel ing man was asked by one of n group of card-playsrs to decide some point in the game under dis. cassion. He refused, saying that he would never have anything to say about a game in which he was not actually engaged. When asked bis reason for holding aloof from giving advice, he replied! "I bad a little experience in a email settlement in the west some years ago that caused me to make a resolutton to let other people's card playing alone, and besides causing me to make that resolu tion that experienc came so near putting a bold-face period to my career that I have had but little for card games since. "I went to a cattle ranch in one of the western territroies for my health, and after riding over the whole face ot the earth for about a month, I concluded' to visit the settlement about the time the cowboys are paid off, as things had gotten pretty dull and I was wanting to see a little life. , "When'I arrived in the town I soon saw that the saloons were the most popular places in the settle ment, and as there were many cowboys into get ridof their money gambling was going at a lively rate, As you probably know, there is always a feeling betwen the professional gamblers and the cowboys on account of the sharp practices of the latter, and in this instance 1 came near being the victim of this feeling of enmity. "I had watched the gamein the principal dive for some time, in company with the sheriff and severel deputies, and after the offi cers strolled out, my attention was attracte'd by the regularity "with which a young fellow st to three men atone of the tables. Finally he lost his last money and put up his watch. As he shoved the watch in the pot I saw one of the players slip a card to the other, aud he in turn laid down his hand reached for the money The young men seemed to be in some what of a trance as he-laid down his cards and prepared to gt up from the table. I had become so absorbed in" the game that when I saw the man slip the card his accomplice I immediately cried out thut the young fellow should take up the money,as to the others were cheating. The instant 1 spoke the man who was raking in the money drew a pistol and fired. I staggered back and fell under the table and shortly after a num- neroi snots ware nrea, out l was so overcome that never had' a clear idea of what had occurred. When I came to myself the room was deserted and I had a nice scar across the forepart of my head, where a 88 calibre pistol ball had shaved the scalp. The sheriff had started after the three gamblers immediately after the shooting be gun, but never overtook them. The young man depared next day. He recovered his watch and secur ed what money was left in the pot wien the sharpers left. It ap peared that the only thing that saved me was the fact that as tbe gambler leaned over to draw his pistol bis arm struck the table and as he fired immediately his aim wasdiverted. Had the three men been caught there would doubtless have been wprfc for the coroner the next dayi "This is the reason, gentlemen, that I do not' care to express any opinion on the merit of other folks card-games." -J.

Old Cosdsctorof Bostiaa Bridge Fans here. Is looking tell. Captain J. F. Spaugh of railroad fame is. or has been in Salisbury for several days. He is here with a pack of dogs to takea big hunt over in Davidson this week. Capt. Spaugh is one of the old conduct tors on the Wrestern road, and will always be remembered for his he roic work in the Bostian Bridge - - wreck above Statesville on August 27, 1891. Most of our readers are familiar with the details of, this awful carnage of human beings, for nearly every one of us had a fr;end or acquaintance in the wreck. There were three men from Salisbury killed, Captain Wynns brother, Engineer West, and Fire manPry. When thetrain went down Captain Spaugh crawled out of the car and walked back to States ville two miles away, and made the news known. There were about twenty two killed, and many wounded seriouely. some very slightly. State Auditor G. W. Sanderlin was on thetrain too, but was not badly hurt, and neither was Captain Spaugh. There was no clue to the wreckers, if the train was derailed, and it will never be known just . what caused it. Captain Spaughs ono of the older conductors, and i as lively as a cricket. At The Mayor's The mayor had a good many sases yesterday morning and after noon. The town, which has been unusually free from drunknessand disturbances for the past two weeks, couldn't hold itself any longer, so Salisbury has - booze cases in profusion. The cases disposed of and amount expeuded on the settlement of them are as. follows ? .....Bob lWood drunk aud down $5.00. Two negro women Sunday drunk, each fined $7.75. Two negro negro boys, affray, lin ed $3.50 each. Two young white men drunk and disorderly - con duct, fined 10.90 each, .this being a Saturday and Sunday drunk. White woman fined for disorderly conduct $7.75. This makes a grand total of $52.55. A big days work and all of this is clear profit. Barber Poles. When a man wants his whisker trimmed or a boy needs a hair cut, he looks around for a place that has a red and white pole ip front of it, and as soon as he sees such n pole he knows he has found a bar ber shop. But why does a barber always have this kind of a sigh in front of his shop? In times gono by, before the world knew as much about medicine as it does now, everybody thought it was the proper thing to get ridof some of his blood now, and then, espec ially in 4he springtime. This was called blood-letting, and was done by the barbers, who also pulled teeth, and did several oth er things in those days besides cut ting hai . The operation of blood letting required the use of a small pole or stick, which the patient held in his hand, and two banda ges one to wrap around the arm before the cut was made, and the othr to bind up the wound after he bleeding was over. Two ban "dages, rady, for use, were kept woand around a red pole and dis played in the door or window as sign to the public. After a time instead of going to the trouble of winding stripes of cloth about the pole white stripes were painted on the pole to represent the bandages, and from that day until this barbers have always us ed that kind of a sign. There are very few barbers to-day'wbo know why tBey use a red and white pole, and eome of them trying to give it a patriotic meaning by painting their signs red, white and blue. This w all very well, for a man has a right to do what be likes with his sign, but it takes away what little sense still remains in using a blood-letting sign for a barbershop. ll WILL ATTEND INAUGURATION OFGOV.AYCOCK. Ttlrtj-BiBe of tte Conpaaj Lift List K!$M for Raleizt Capt. Oieran Unibii to goiltsTlea. The Rowan Rifles, Salisbury's military company, left for RaU eigh last nigtt and are expected to arrive at the capital city at 0 o' clock this morning. The boys had a preliminary drill while waiting for their traiu to pull in, and mad a very creditable showing. It w as a source of much regret and dis . appointment to the boys and their -friends that Capt. W. H. Overman was unable to go with them, but his physician expressed the opin ion that it would be very danger ous if Mr. Overman wont, as ho is anything but well. Lieutenant Qaither and his wife went upon a later train and joined the compa ny at Greensboro. At this place, the company expected to Rive a drillk and when they arrive at Raleigh they hope to make an ex cellent appearance. In addition . to the compaav, they took a mas cot a little negro boy to lo the "kvarpit bag ack," ts Dave Hanks sayB. This little uegro is a very fine buck and wing dancer and he is to be dressed in a very loud red uniform and red shoes and he will be shw off in Raleigh. With " him the boys say there is ."no such' thing as failure. They will return on Wednesday ank at that time expect to have something toell our readers. We are glad to thank the good and generous people of Salisbury for the substantial financial aid given them. It proved adequate to their railroad expenses. - Tbat Throbbing Heidacla.
