Greenville is fortunate city. 1t will

Its relative geographical position; the
Topography of surrounding country and
rich quality of soil; its proximity to
forests az excellent timber and mount
aims of the best iron and coal in the
world. together with its superior rail-
way facilities gives TO Greenville pre-
cedence over any city in the great state
of Texas. Coupled with this wish to
add Greenville is fortunately situated
in the immediate path of all the pro-
iected short lines of railway, Galveston
on the south and Kansas City and st.

all these roads 1t is at present the
most important shipping point on the

central city of their system OF railways.
The NJ, K. & T. railway shops, to
cost not less than seventy-five Thousand
dollars, have been located here, and
when completed will give employment
to eight hundred men. In addition to

The above named Improvements, to-

Air Ship Gossip.

1t is likely that aerial travel, while a
delightful thing to talk about, will not
at once commend itself to the public as
a very safe and desirable method OF
transportation. The sad adventure of
Darius Greene is too fresh in the popu-
lar mind of inspired people with any
marked degree of confidence. More
over, the learned illusions TO alumni
power are not calculated to remove the
impression that flying between heaven
and earth may be flying in the face OF
Providence. At all events common,
everyday people are perfectly content
to allow the scientists the privilege OF
making the trial trips.
OF course air-travel will have its ad-
vantages. There will be no danger of
running off the track, and very little
danger of collision. The trouble about
the right of way will be avoided, as in a
case Of all outdoors it will not be neces-
sary to travel on schedule time. The
scientists have succeeded in proving
that it is perfectly feasible to construct
a ship that will travel swiftly through
the air, but as yet they have held out
no assurance that accidents are impossi-
bic. and that 4 car going at the speed
of 200 miles an hour can in the event OF
a breakage of machinery, decend to the
earth with proper consideration and
dignity. This is the point which is
agitating the vulgar herd. Or suppos-
ing that the Chicago limited, the aerial
Eli" encounters cyclone or a strong
upper current in it's flight over Mis-
souri,, is it POSSIBLE to descend in corn
field or in the back premises of con-
venient agriculturist until the meteOrol-
Ogical conditions are more favorable!
Would such descent be Cnwarrantable
trespass. and would farmers be cOmpell-
ed under the statutes to provide resting
places for express trains to the damage
of their crops or to the inconvenience
of their families and possessions?
Remembering the advancement oil
science despite the ridicule heaped upon
scientific men, the public will be guard
ed in dismissing as absurd the projects
of the Mount Carmel company. 1t will
recall the jecrs with which the early
part of the century received the seem
ingly visionary schemes of George
Stephenson and Robert Fulton, and will
remember that aerial transportation
cannot appear more lthpracilcaole Ihau
did the early experiments with steam.
whatever skepticism may exist is due
chiefly to the fact that the scientists in
endeavoring to explain their principles
succeed only in confusing the popular
mind the more. One practical test will
be worth u Thousand scientific deduc-
tions on paper. The way to fly is TO
fly. 1t is the easiest thing in the world
when one knows how to accomplish II.

it an excellent quality of coal. 1t can be

made from iron procured in east Texas
and pronounces them ''the best Of any

9S, 600 miles without single evidence
of break. He says G0,0O0 miles is a

results, and Superintendent Elliott says
they are the best wheel made" TWEEN
ty-five hundred of these wheels are also
