1t is not at all 10 be wondered at
that in day of frauds and adulter-
atoms that prevail from positions of
the highestdignity to thelowest
conditions, men should ask, Is life
worth living? A machine that is
all out OF order is not worth work
ing. 1t takes more oil to lubricate it
than it is worth. And man who
is playing part, strutting and fret
ting his hour, finds the trouble of
keeping up appearances poorly COM
pensated in bogus life.

No State in the Union equals
North Carolina in the variety of its
minerals, and but few in their ex-
tent. Not only coal, iron, copper,
corrundum, mica, asbestos, nickel,
and other minerals of this class, but
the precious metals abound in aim ost
every part of the State. Their dis
covery, SO far, has been the result Of
accident and not of scientific or sys-
tematic explorations directed to
this end.

NECTION OF THE r. g. s,

The announcement of the Nor

cial, that their Shenandoah Valley
line will build an extension from
Front Royal, Virginia, to Wash
ington City, and there connect
with the Baltimore and Potom-
&C, and the Pennsylvania system
for Philadelphia and New York,
is very important thing for
Winston and the Roanoke and
Southern Railroad.
It will give us direct short rail
road communication with Wash
ington, Baltimore, and all points
North and West, and assures
the Roanoke and Southern large
passenger and freight traffic, and
will greatly stimulate the bust
ness and development of this city
and the surrounding section of
country.
The Roanoke and Southern
Railroad is the most important
enterprise, as a factor in the
growth and development of Win
ston and Salem. that could have
been suggested, and its progress
and successful existence is of the
highest local interest to our peo-
pie. Connection at Roanoke
with the through direct line of
the Shenandoah Road and the ex-
tension of our line to an eligible
Southern terminus, will place
the Roanoke Southern among
the importat railway systems of
of the State, and greatly promote
the progress and prosperity of
this portion of the Piedmont Re
ton.

THE wATTERSON-HILL LET.
TER. :


Here is the letter Henry Wat
terson says he wrote Governor
Hill, which hill says he never re-
ceived, and is now the cause of
angry dispute:
"Courier-Journal Office, Louis
vile, Nov. 81, 1S9O.-My Dear
Sir: take leave to address you
this letter as one ofsome millions
OF democrats who have never
sought or held office, and who
are deeply concerned in the party
welfare, and who believe you to
hold the key to it. Outside of
the State of New York there is a
well-nigh unanimous demand
among the rank and file of dem
ocrats for the nomination of Mr..
Cleveland. This is too strong
for the party leaders and mana
gers to resist. | think l have
some influence in Kentucky. But
on that point [ should be over
whelmed in a State convention.
If you should come,to national
convention with a New York del
egation solid against it you
would be overwhe lined. You are
powerless topreventit. Butyou
can defeat the election of the
ticket.
"There are democrats in every
part of the Union who believe
that you did this in 1888.
know that to be false. l know
exactly what happened, and
have steady defended you in pub
lie and in private. But it. will
cling to you as long as you live
even as the bargain, intrigue and
corruption story chung to Clay
and will meet you in every ma
tional convention, if it be not
dissipated by some act on your
part great enough to blot it out.
In default of this, if you have any
hope of the presidency, it will de
feat that.
"My Judgment is clear that, if
you could reconcile it with your
judgment and feeling to make
peace with Mr.. Cleveland and to
take a delegation to the national
convention in 1892 to put him
in nomination, you will save the
party and place yourself upon an
elevation you can never attain if
you fail to do it. You would
be received by the country with
enthusiasm; be accepted at once
as a Warwic,k and l do not see
how you could be kept out of the
succession. On the other hand,
even if you succeeded in defeating
the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland,
you will stand upon sinister and
dangerous ground, with a stormy
future before you.
'These are plain words, and [
have no relations with you which
give me the right to offer you
counsels. They may be disagree
able words, and | have no desire
to Obtrude upon your privacy.
But they are true words, and |
claim the right of a democrat
who has some knowledge of the
country at large, and has given
some proof of intelligent devo-
ton to the party interests to ig-
more ceremony and to send them
to you.
Sin conslusion, let me say that 1
shall, in any event, be glad to
know you better, and that, mean
while, | am, most sincerely, your
friend, ''HENRY WATrERsoN.

The Lake DwelIers.

In Switzerland, one winter when it
was very cold, the rivers were frozen
and the lakes were very shallow. The
people who lived on the border of one
of the lakes determined to make their
gardens larger by running their side
walls out into the lake and building a
wall across to shut out the lake. Then
they were going to fill in the space
thus enclosed with mud taken from
the lake bed. When they commenced
to dredge they came upon quantity
of spiles, and ivory and stone and
bronze tools. Investigations proved
thatabove this lake and, indeed, above
others in Switzerland, had once risen
the holmes of people who lived in
dwellings built high above the water
on spiles or logs driven into the bed
of the lake. One lake having been
drained, two settlements were found
in it, one al each end. The part of the
eastern settlement which used to stand
above the water had been destroyed
by fire, and the charred remains could
still be seen. Nobody had ever
dreamed of the existence of such peo-
pie. They are now known as the
Lake DweIIers. st. Nicholas.

Good Hands.

That is a good hand which is put
out to help some one who has fallen by
the wayside.
That is a good hand which knows
how to make pain easier and head
aches vanish.
That is a good hand which knows
how to give heartily and freely.
That is a good hand which is put
out to help you or me as we walk
along in life; when we feel we need
some one to protect us.
That is good hand which never
wrote anything of which it was
ashamed, and which never put its
hand to fraud and dishonesty.
That is a good hand which helps
along the sick and the weak, the help
less and the poor.
That is a good hand which does its
work well; whatever it may be,
wherever it may lie, it doth not grow
weary, and it doeth its work so it is
worth its wage.-Fdrns and Friend.

She could while the hours away,

She could skate and she could paint,
She could play the patron saint,
But she could and she wouldn't
Make bed.
She could walk eight miles day,
And play tennis charmingly,
Flirting in saucy way,
Little scamp!
She could drive and play base ball,
She could make stylish call,
But she couldn't and she wouldn't
Clean alamp.
She could swim and she could row,
She could always have beau,
And I'm sure that we all know
She was shy.
She could laugh and che could prance,
She could play game of chance,
But she couldn't and she wouldn't
Make n pie.
She could etch and write book,
She could yanquish with look,
She could win by hook or crook,
confess;
She could scold aud she could flout,
She could cry and she could pout,
But she couldn't and she wouldn't
Make dress.
She could talk of church affairs,
But knew naught of household cares;
Still I'm sure that none compares
With sweet Nan;

Bread and pies and angel cake
She enraptured and she captured
