that is in view will benefit a few

be unnecessary. We have plenty
of public roads today that need
more attention than we are able
to give them. It is needless to es-
tablish more roads than can be
kept in travelling condition.

following communication from
Manager Ackert, of the Southern,
which explains itself:
Washington, D. c., Aug. II, 'O5.
Hon. A. H. BoYDEN, Mayor.
Salisbury, N. G.
DEAR SIR:
Referring to the matter of
building new passenger station
at Salisbury, will say the South
ern Railway is arranging to con-
struct a new passenger depot at
that point and our engineers are
now developing the situation to
ascertain the location that will
best suit the needs.
Unless something unforeseen
happens, we will commence Its
construction during our present
fiscal year, and I would be glad
to have this made known to the
citizens of Salisbury SO they will
understand the matter.
Yours truly.
G. H. AcKERT,
Fourth Vice President.
The following petition IN regard
to the site of the new depot has,
we are informed, been signed by a
great majority of our business mon
and citizens:
1--WE, the undersigned merchants
and citizens of Salisbury, desire to
express our wishes relative to the
location of the new depot for this
city.
"We think it should be located
at it's present site, as it will be
much more convenient for the cit
liens of the town as we'll as the
travelling public.'' -
These petitions will be sent to
Washington at an early date.
Mayor Boyden, having returned
from another conference with Mr..
Ackert in reference to the Inniss-
street bridge and the new depot,
says:
"Now is the time for our people
to get together and not have any
division among themselves as to
the site or anything else connect
ed with this depot. I have stated
to Mr.. Ackert that 80 per cent. of
our citizens desire the depot on
Council street where the present
structure stands. Let us not go
to quibbling over details and pos
sibly delay the construction of
this depot which is promised.''
II am assured that the steel
bridge which is to be placed across
the North Carolina railroad on
Inniss street has already been
shipped, and will be in course of
construction within a few days.
A depot Is absolutely certain, and
engineers we're here last week max
ing an examination with reference
to tho most suitable site."

SAM TALKS MUCHEE

Next Thursday is the Chinese New
Year and Sam Mong, who conducts the
laundry on Washington street, in his
broken Mclean dialect has given us
some information of the customs pur-
sued on that day.
February 2, the date on which falls
the festival, is the greatest holiday of
the year among the natives of the land
of the poppy and John Chinaman and
his brothers in this country. New
Years day is the only Sunday in the
entire Celestial year and the people
stop work, and in some districts take a
bath, the only one In which they indulge
during the whole year, and don their
best clothes. However, in Wausau,
sam says, the "Chinks' take as frequent
baths as "Melican man." Sam
says that he is not sure whether or
not the local sons of the fowery king
dom will celebrate the day or not.
much busy now, washee many shirt,
not much time now"
He states that in China they call on
their friends, have good time general
ly and enjoy themselves to the greatest
possible degree Req, the Chinamen's
favorite color, is displayed everywhere.
All of the presents are wrapped in red
paper of some kind, and eggs, after be-
ing colored red, are offered to the gods.
Many laundrymen change the curtains
in the windows of their stores to bright
en- the place, and at night the skies in
the cities where there are many China
men are lurid with red lights which
they burn to drive off the devils of mis-
fortune and bad luck. A custom of the
Chinese which might embarrass even
the well-to-do American is the practice
of paying all debts on New Years day
In China creditor may enter debtors
house at any time and help himself to
anything he sees to satisfy his debt. An
other popularity which might well be
adapted in the United States is the
curious freak of offering any of their
vices for sale so that they might start
the new year with a clean record.
