salisbury Cor. Of Charlotte Csronicle1
The body of Willie Warren, who
committed suicide at Mt. Pleasant,
was brought to town last night by pri.
vate conveyance, and was inferred in
the Lutheran Cemetery here to-day.
Warren had asked young lady whom
he had been keeping company with
for the privilege Of escorting her out
on Thursday night, and she refusing,
he asked two or three persons how much
laudanum it would take to kill a per-
son, and being told two ounces, he
bought an ounce bottle, took it away
and then brought it back and had il
filled again. Later he told some of his
companions that he had drank two
bottles of laudanum. About seven
o'clock he was found asleep by the
public well, and every effort possible
was made to arouse him. He died
Friday morning.

Avery Buffers Confession.

Avery Butler, the young white boy
who is in Jail at Clinton for the assas-
sination Of his father there, has at last
made full confession. He says his
father was very cruel to him and to
other members of the family, and that
a man urged him to put him out of
the way and upbraided him for not
doing so at once. Avery borrowed a
gun from his brother, intending to go
hunting, but met this man, who told
him what to do. Accordingly the lad
went to place by street along
wlich his father passed, and found his
evil adviser already there. The latter
told young Butler just when to shoot,
and the boy fred as his father came
near. Both the boy and his adviser
then fed, and the boy has not seen his
adviser since. It is not true that Mr..
Butler, his mother, urged him to kill
his father. The boy was cruelty
beaten by his father, was kicked out
of the porch once, and his body is GOV.
cred with scars. It is very probable
that his death sentence will be commu
ted to long term of Imprisonment.

DY VIRTUE OF A DECREE OF THE SUPE
Drior Court of Wilkes county, made at Marcn
term, 1890, in the case of R. E. Nooe and others
against Joseph P. Shields and others, the I'M
dersigned will sell at public cutlery, to the last
and highest bidder, at the courthouse in
Wilkesboro, N. c., on Monday, June I'd. 1890,

place, and that no such property will again be
offered to the public in Wilkesboro. This is the
opportunity to buy property in the prosperous
and growing town of Wilkesbero,at head OF R.R

THE SOUTHERN EXTENSION OF THE
r. & S. r. r.

In this issue we print an extract
from the Charlotte Chronicle, which
saws that if the Roanoke & Southern
railroad really wants to go to Char
lotte that Charlotte will offer suffi
cient inducement to take it there, but
if Monroe or some other point has
been decided upon that Charlotte
will not make a bid in order to force
some other town to increase its sub
scription.
We beg to assure the Chronicle and
the people of every town which wants
the Roanoke & Southern railroad that
no route to the South has yet been de
cided upon. High Point, Lexington
Townsville, Salisbury, Concord
Charlotte, Monroe, Archdale, Randle-
man, Troy, -Wadesboro aud other
smaller towns along the several avail
able routes are making an active
campaign for the road. They are
sending committees along the proros-
ed routes, investigating their advan-
tages and inducing the people and
townships to give the rights of way
and liberal subscriptions. That the
officers of the Roanoke & Southern
railroad and the people of Winston
allow them to do this is an evidence
of their good faith.
The location of the road is simply
a business matter The directors of
the road will locate it wherever the
best inducements are offered. If Char
lotte has longer pole than Monroe
and all the other rivals, then Char
lotte will get the persimmon. If Con-
cord and the people along the line
through Montgomery county offer SUI
perior advantages, coupled with lar
ger subscriptions, they will get the
road, and so with the other routes.
The Chamber of Commerce of this
city at its meeting an Tuesday night
of this week appointed committee of
five of its best business men to go to
Lexington on June 9Th for the pur-
pose Of giving information to the COM
mittees of the various towns which will
be sent there to consult With Presi-
dents Fries and Trout. This commit
tee is instructed TO hear the PROPOSE
tions from the various townships and
to give assurance to all that their
claims will be considered impartially.
These being the facts in the case,
Charlotte and every other town here
tofore mentioned has an equal chance
They all stand on the same footing,
and the town or section that does the
most hustling, other things being
sqcal. is the one which will win the
prize.

Charlotte Wants the E. & s.
From, the Charlotte Chronicle I

O''NN'sNefN J
the Roanoke & Southern railroad
really wants to come to Charlotte, and
will come on a reasonable considera
ton, then Charlotte and Mecklenburg
will see that the road comes; but if
Monroe has been decided on as the
terminus, and bids from Charlotte are
to be used to prize out other donations
on line already decided on, why, of
course that's very different matter.
Charlotte is of itself a far better
point for the Roanoke q Southern
than anywhere else this far south.
Here it will be easy to get connection
through to Lancaster where it will
find an outlet to seaboard, and also
cross the G. G. & N. Railroad, if the
latter be the desideratum.
The Chamber last night, on motion
of Col. John L. Morehead, empowered
the chairman, Mr.. VanLandingham
(who presides in the absence of Presi-
dent j. H. Weddington) to appoint a
committee from the Chamber to meet
the Roanoke & Southern people in
Lexington June 9th to- discuss the
matter of bringing the road to Char
lotte.
A resolution offered by Maj. Dowd
Was also adopted, that the committee
be empowered to treat with the r. &
S. authorities to the extent of assur-
ing them of all reasonable consid
GRAFTON for bringing the road to Char
lotte.
Col. Morehead, Maj. c. Dowd, Col.
Anthony and S. Wittkowsky spoke in
favor Of increasing Charlotte's rail-
road facilities; Col. Morehead going
so far as to say that he deemed con-
sideration of the r. & S. Railroad the
most important question ever brought
before the Chamber of Commerce.

Last weeks Statesville Landmark
says: Information is just received
here that corps of engineers of the
Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley railroad
are established on DR.. L. Harrill's
farm on the Yadkin river in Wilkes,
and that they are Locating line up
the valley on the south side of the riv-
er. They are moving quietly and
have an appearance of meaning bust
mess. If this road builds up the Yad-
kin, Statesville must have a connec-
ton with it. Yadkin county could
afford to give 100000 to it.
The Greensboro Patriot must have
read this item, as it says: "Col. Julius
A. Gray, president of the Cape Fear
& Yadkin Valley railroad, says there
is no foundation for the report that
his road is surveying a branch road
up the Yadkin to Wilkesboro."

How He Was Duped by a Shrewd Adj
rondack Guide.
They tell a good story Of a Bottom
merchant at the Adirondacks last year,
says Forest and Steam. He was particu-
larly anxious to kill a deer. He employed
zone Of the best guides in the region"
and they lacked and lacked nearly all
night, amid great suffering of the would
be shooter. Not a deer did they see Lor
hear. The shooter was nearly dead frog
sitting in one position. Toward morning
they passed a swampy place, a. d there
was a rustling in the reeds. The guide
asked in a short whisper if the sh 1oter
heard it. He did hear it, and his teeth
were already chattering with buck fever,
or with cold, he could not tell which. He
signifed his Willingness to shoot by the
trembling of the gun in his unsteady
hands. The guide again whispered that
the r%ustling was a deer, and for the mer-
chant to watch for eyes, but if he could
not see any eyes to shoot as near as he
could at the sound. At the same time
the guide suggested the caution that the
shooter should be careful and not shoot
him. The hunter fred. The echoes
awoke, and the splashing and rustling
ceased. The 2uide told the merchant that
he had shot a deer, and "by the sound"
he judged thai it was a large buck. He
had doubtless secured a beautiful pair O.
antlers, But the swamp was 50 thick
and of such a nature that it would not be
possible to get the deer, but when winter
came the pace would freeze over, and
then the horns and hide could be secured.
He would take the earliest opportunity
to get them and forward them to Boston.
The merchant came home in the full faith
of his SUCCESS. When cold weather came
be daily expected the horns. The express
was watched, but they have not come to
hand. Later in the winter he learned
that some guides arranged with another
guide to go into the swamp, get behind a
tree. so as to be safe from the shot, and
then to ru7tle and splash till the tender
foot shoots. After which all is still, and
the tenderfoot is satisfied he has shot
a deer. Now that merchant does not
care to have his friends mention the pair
of horns he expected.
