The; following from Saturday's Sal isbury Post -will give further informa tion regarding the construction of the trolly line to connect Piedmont Cities: Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, former Sec retary of the Treasurer, accompanied by Mr. Patrick Hirsch, of New York, eeme to Salisbury this morning and the probabilities are that before they leave ail the details far the early com pletion of the inter-urban Kne through ..Piedmont North Carolina, so much talked of, will have been completed, for it is announced that these gentle men represent the financial backing of this line. The majority interest in this pro posed line is owned by Messrs. T. II. Vanderford, W. F. Snider, T. J. Jerome, and M. L. Jackson, of Salis bur, and the plans of the company as outlined to a Post representative by Mr. Vanderford this morning include am inter-nrban line from Greensboro to Charlotte, a distance of 93 miles, through Salisbury. From Salisbury the line will also be extended to Faith. Westward it will go to iMooresville. Already there is a movement on foot on the part of Winston-Salem men of money to build from Greensboro to that city. The interurban line, Mr. Vander ford says, will handle freight as well as passenger business. A representative of the backers of this project, which means so much to ' " the rbole Piedmont section, has been in Salisbury for several daw going over the proposed route with the Sal isbury stockholders and stated to tbem that he would not iweommand a rente other than that out Fulton street to the county line. A franchise, through both Rowan and Cabarrus counties has already been secured from the . commissioners of these counties. Al though there is some objection on the " part of the residents along South Ful ton street to the construction of the line on that street it is hoped that the opposition will subside in view of the V magnitude and importance of the un I dertaking. Vanderford says work through the country territory between Salis-"-4)1117 and Concord iwUl be started with in the next thirty days. -' ' Aa TJnaavory Scandal -, New York Evening Post.

Total Registration 1588, and of These the Largs Number of 329 Were Oast for Bonds. There are a long time coming, but here are the official figures in the bond election of last Wednesday in the county. The vote was so overwhelm ing that the exact figures . were of matter of small consequence, but some one may desire to seep toe voie ior future reference, and if so they may do so. Tliere were 1588 registrations for the election ond of these 329 were vot ed "For Bonds," while 226 went to the trouble to deposit ballots sgainst tbee issuing of bonds. It would have taken 795 votes for bonds to have car ried the measure, so that there were not half enough voting to pass the bond issue. Again of the 1588 regis tered votes, 1259 count against and .Til) for bonds. Think This Over. Collier's Weekly. Here is a story that will be of in terest to the humanitarium. We an inclined to think it contains a consid erable amount of truth : "I was discharged from San Quen tin six weeks ago. I was given a new suit of clothes ( that was branded 'prison' all over; but no matter about this). 1 was given- clothes to cover me, $5 in cash, and the good wishes of the warden and i he man wbo drives the van. Very good, you eay, for an ex-convict f Well, listen id this: On the day I was given my liberty, my picture, with my description, was sent to every sheriff of the county in the State: 'This man is free; may be coming your way. Look out for him. ' Now, there is nothing dangerous about me, or, at least, there never was. I was a jLtreut eax onduitor, a decent enough sort, when one night I got drunk and hit a man. Unfortunately fur bulb of us it nearly killed him. I ifoi four years. I paid my .penalty. SIhiuIiI I be let alone now or not f I gave more than four years out of my life to the State. I lost my health. For that reason, I thought that, being 'free,' I would go into the country and work tliere until I got my strength back. From the county to county J have been told to 'move on, ' The first man to whom I applied for work gave it to me, then I took my honorable discharge out of my pocket and show ed it to hhn. He picked up a cane tbat lay across bis desk and yelled at me: 'You get out or here or I'll kmxjk your brains out.' " It is needless to draw and facile moral from this condition. The facts are .intricate. Tly difficulties are many. A bitter situation faces the prisoner who wishes to lead an honor able life after his discharge. A deli cate situation faces the man wjho would employ him. The employer knows the rule; it requires same sac rifice to principle and humanity on bis part to test the particular ease in or der to avoid helping to crush a -man who may be one of the exceptions. Sentimentatism is the treatment of crime is not to be encouraged, but in juetice is still worse. : v . -. '. '-' ; '' - Cook and Peary Both En Boots. Now ' York, Sept. 18.

San Antionio, Texas, Sept. 18. Tli at the cotton crop of Texas will be sliort this year by at least 40 per cent is now an established fact. In the black prairie belt the shortage will reach 50 per cent and over, while Southwest Texas, more favored in the matter of rain this year,will be be hind last year '8 rop only 20 to 25 per cent. The slightly increased acreage will have Utile effect. The shortage is due principally to the lack of rain at the proper season. A prolonged drought interferred with the development of the plan a a very early stage. The abundant of rains which have fallen through the greater part of the summer did little to over- some the harm done in the spring. Late cotton was benefitted by them considerably, but not enough of this is planted to bring the crop to a nor mal basis, cotton growers being averse to the planting of late cotton for the reason that the crop comes in the market at a time when prices huve been lowered by the earlier product. The prices paid for cotton are good and promise to remain so. As a mat ter of fact, by the shonage. Eight- cent cotton, the bane of the fanner's life will not factor in the crop this year. Best cotton now sells at 12.75 cents, good middling at 12.25 cents, and middling at 12 cents on the Kan Antonio market. Ten cents, if present indications count for anything and wholesale 'manipulation does not in terfere, will in all likehood be the minimum price. The outside market will have little effect on the situation in Texas, for the reason that the short age is general all over the South. Large Fees to Doctors. IxiKlon Tit-Bits.
