roads all over the South. The next year
promises to add more miles of railroad
in the United States than any which has
preceded it, and the best part of it is that
most Of these lines will be constructed in
the South, thereby enhancing our values,
improving our country and developing
its boundless resources in manner that
has hitherto been impossible. South
Carolina and Georgia are to be large
gamers in this line Of development.

Water, pure, cool and delicious, has
been obtained in the limestone region of
lower Georgia By means of an artesian
we'll over five hundred feet deep. Other
wells are to be attempted at once, and, if
successful, the discovery will render that
portion of Georgia, which is quite ex-
tensive, one of the finest agricultural and
fruit growing countries in the world. It
now has all that is necessary to make it
such, except the one great essential of
good water, the lack of which renders it
extremely unhealthy, thereby limiting its
prosperity and driving off development.
If the nrieeian ~ells prove generally
available, the otherwise favored region
will rapidly fill up with population, and
become one of the most prosperous Sec

The Republicans of Virginia held
their Convention in Iynchburg last
week, which resulted in split-onc por-
ton coalescing with the Mahoneites,
and the other contcnding for the
straightout Republican faith. The Goa
litionists adopted the Readjuster plat
form, and nominated the Readjuster
ticket for State officers. while the
straightouts nominated n ticket with
Gen. Wickham for Governor, and adopt.
ed debt-paying platform. Their ticket,
however, refused to run, and they dccid-
ed to make no nominations, but to hold
off from the other political organizations
The condition of politics in Virginia is
anomalous, and the result is of course
uncertain, though the immense personal
popularity Of Major Daniel, the Demo.
cratic nominee, will go Tar to decide the
issue in favor of the Democracy and
to consign Malone and his followers 10
the obliquy they so richly deserve.
Amy triumph the Readjusters may
acbive will be republican triumph,
and hence the sympathies of all the bet
ter elements Of the State of Virginia and
of the South are with the Democrats.

The vote upon the prohibition law in
North Carolina WAS the most oyerwhclm-
ing rejection of tho law that could have
been imagined. The latest returns from
the election show vote Of 46, 5SG for and
l57, 1906 against prohibition, the majority
against being 1ll,720, with fourteen
counties to hear from, which will run the
majority up to probably 10000. The
heaviest anti-prohibition majority was
given by Halifax county, ,591 in IL total
vote Of 5,45? The closest county was
Cleveland, where the anti-prohibition
majority was two in vote Of 2,2S5.
The prohibitionists carried three counties
Haywood by 2l, Pennsylvania by 2S,
and Yancey by LOG. This vote of the
people Of North Carolina shows that
they are jealous Of any abridgment of
their rights, even the right to buy whis-
key whenever they want it, and demon.
strates the absurdity in free govern
ment of trying to force any law upon a
people who are opposed to its spirit and
purposes. Had the law been passed alb
solutely by the Legislature it would have
destroyed the Democratic party of North
Carolina, and also been repealed at the
first session Of the Legislature after the
next election. There are some reforms
which should be attempted by moral
suasion, and not by legal enactment.

the cars to sell large "diamond' ring

"Humph," said the miner. after critically
examining the ring, "they've got COM

been that'll cut that diamond all to

that will cut that diamond I'll give it to
you," replied the peddler. sAll right
said the miner, 'if / can't cut that 'dia.

Thereupon the miner took the ring in
his hand and pulled from his vest-pock-
ct small piece of brown-looking stone,
similar to bit OF dark freestoue, except
the grain was very fine, and with this he
proceeded coolly to cut sud scratch the
diamond with several ugly docking

His Views on the Confirmation of

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, May 28-The
Express tomorrow morning will contain
the following interview with Senator

Mr.. Voorhees, attention was called to
the fact that certain newspapers were
charging him with voting for the conlir-
nation of Stanley Matthews as Judge
Of the Supreme Court OF the United
States, assailing him on that account
He said: 81 am not at liberty to say
how or any other Senator voted on
that subject. The injunction Of secrecy
has not been removed from the Execu-
five session in which Judge Matthews
was confirmed. l wish it were other

made public, 80 that the people could
have correct understanding Of the
course pursued by every Senator. l can
only now speak OF what happened out.
side OF the Senate Chamber. The East
was almost, if not entirely, solid against
Matthews. Eastern press, Eastern banks
and such well-known organs Of the Ma.
tioual Bank Association as the New
York Times, were vehemently opposed
to him and assailed him with the utmost
fury. Is there anybody in Indiana foolish
enough to believe that this opposition
from such sources arose from TACT that
Matthews was to friendly to corpora
tions7 Does any one suppose that the
organs and friends Of Eastern corpora
tions and corporation capital were sim

lau-lonA.since decided, and now out OF
the way, in connection with tue rights
of corporations Not at all. Their
opposition 70 him was on far different
grounds. In the debate on the Silver
Bill Judge Matthews made powerful
and wholly unanswerable argument in
the Senate in its favor and also in sup
port Of the constitutional power Of the
Government to make paper money a
