Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1908-03-11

Rev. J. G. Rowe. of Concord
formerly pastor of the First Meth
odist church at this place. ha
been appointed presiding elder o
the Asheville district, made va
cant by the death of DR.. L. W
Crawford.
The waves ofenthusiasm thatwer'
supposed to have emanated from
the anti-prohitbitionist meeting
at the court house last Thursday
have not swept away the founda
ton for the belief of the masseI
that whiskey must go.
The school authorities have
changed all doors in the city
school building, SO they will oper
on the outside. The recent horri
BILE fire at Collinwood, o., has i'm
pressd upon them the necessity OF
taking all precautions to avert a
similar occurrence here.
Jno. S. Henderson, receiver of
the Whitney company, has re-
turned from a trip to New York,
where, with Attorney jerome, he
has been looking into the affairs
of the company. Mr.. Henderson
gives no definite hope of an early
resumption of work.
The Greensboro Record is re-
sponsible for the statement that
the towns along the Southern
Railway are to be visited by the
circus. For some years, the
Southern has refused to haul them
because of the great risk and since
the wreck of Buffalo Bills outfit
near Linwood, thu circus has
been a dead number. But the Inter
State Commerce Commission has
lately ruled that no road, ade-
quately equipped, shall refuse to
haul them, 80 now we can get ready
to take the children to see the
animals, (of course no one goes to
see the show as five shows are on
the road, headed by Barnum and
Bailey's, who will make a spring
tour through this country.
The city aldermen have refused
to allow the independent tele-
phone company the right to con-
struct lines and operate in Sails
bury. This matter has been be-
fore the Board several months
and is now settled by their deci-
sson.
The clean sweep sale now on at
A. w. Winecof's is drawing good
crowds. Mr.. Winecoff is one of
Salisbury's most progressive mer-
chants and those who attend this
sale will not only find bargains in
the dry goods and notions carried
in stock but will be assured of
polite attention and prompt SER
vice. This sale is for ten days
only and all should avail them
selves of the opportunity.
From all appearances Salisbury
is partial to moving picture shows,
there being five now operating and
one yet to be started, At any
rate it is a cheap form of enter
tainment and probably the hard
times causes people to look fer
less expenditure in the way of
amusement.
It is understood that the first
term of Federal court, which con-
venes here in April, will be for
the purpose of organization only
and that no cases will be tried,
At the next term of court held in
Charlotte and Statesville, cases
on the docket from the counties
which will compose this district
will be transferred to the Sails
bury docket. The Salisbury dis
trict will be composed of Rowan,
stanly and Davidson, with the
possibility of Cabarrus county
being added.
From the present outlook, the
new depot will be completed at
an early date. The brick work
has been completed and a force
is at work on the interior, which
promises to be handsome and we'll
equipped. Taken with the new
Southern express comp a y's
building, Salisbury will haye a
station that will meet the appro-
baton of the travelling public.
