sALEM'S BIG SALES.
The Official Figures are Now LA Ana
Arc aIost Encouraging.

Are Host Encouraging.
The big sales of town lots in Salem
was looked forward to by investors
and capitalists all over the country
and when the day arrived they
thronged the streets and hotels.
The sale was successful in every
sense of the word, and gave the Queen
CITY an impetus that is bound TO re-
suit in a great deal of good in very
short time. Already new life has been
enthused in the people, and they
are WORKING like beavers for the adj
vancement OF the material prosperity
of the place.
The official figures of the result have
Just come to hand and make a great
Showing. The aggregate sales
amounted to over $150,000. This, OF
course, includes the sales made by the
various land companies. The Salem
Improvement company alone sold
1870 lots realizing sos, 282. None OF the
lots disposed of were in the best ousl-
ness streets; they were not placed /"
the price list, but will be reserved Tor
future sales.
1t is not an overestimate to say
that the aggregate transactions OF the
past week will not fall short OF sever
al hundred thousand dollars If the
numerous private sales are consider
ed.
Where single tranactions in real
estate from a few hundred to fifteen
hundred, and when lots on new bust
ness streets like College Avenue bring
three time the schedule prices as they
done Dec 18th, it may be plainly seen
that Salem is a splendid field for In
vestnent.
An impression has somehow gone
about that the sale at Salem was not
as successful az it had been represent
ed. but the figures above will show
how much truth there is in this.
The sale was a success, a great sue
coss, and the company as well az the
purchasers are in every way satisfied.
Much of the success OF the compa
MES efforts is due to President j. w
F. Allemong. He is an active ener-
petic sagacious business man, and
Salem will owe an eternal debt of
gratitude to him. The future OF the
city is very bright and its growth will
be watched with interest.
In the Chicken Business.
Sam Pearson and SAIL Casey were ar
rested yesterday morning at 5:3O
o'clock by Officer Greasy. They had IN
their possession a number of fowls
which the officer did not believe they
had come by honestly. Although not
engaged in the business of raising
chickens, it is alleged that they have
lately been offering some very line

as number of other choice breeds:
They were taken to jail to be held

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
The state Convention.

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 24.-The first
thing done in the Constitutional Con-
vention this morning was the adoption
Of resolution which provided that
committee Of five be appointed to report
an ordinance, if necessary, providing

Mr.. Calhoon introduced an ordinance
providing that for period of ten years

recommended that the ordinance stand
as first reported by the committee.

ton, asked leave to withdraw the ma
jority and minority reports, and to offer
a supplemental report.
The Convention resumed consideration

election of county officers, when Mr..
Street moved to recommit Sections Z, 3
and 9, with all substitutes and amend
ments thereto, and that the remainder
of the report be considered independent
of said sections.
Section 10 was taken up. 1t provides
that the Legislature may by two
thirds vote of both houses restore to the
right of suffrage any person disqualified
by reason of crime.
A motion was made to amend it as fol-
lows: "And may restore such right to
any other person of good moral charac-
ter, and over As years of age, who may
be disqualified by any other crime"
After very lengthy discussion, par
ticipated in by dozen or more mem
bers, and various amendments being
voted down, Mr.. Love offered the fol-
lowing, which was adopted: Provided
that the reasons therefor shall be spread
upon the journal and the vote shall be
by yeas and nays, and in determining
the vote the whole number of members
elected shall be considered"
Mr.. Magruder moved to table the
section as amended.
