Too Bashfu1 to Tell Their Love.

1t is not often that young folks fall in love
with each other and never tell about it. 1t is
not often, either, that getting married is
robbed OF the sublime pleasures of courtship

c. News says that Providence township
Mecklenburg county, furnishes a case out of
the usual order. Duncan Gordon a young

he could to prosper and be happy. The only
social draw Oack he had was an extreme bash
tulness, which he seemed poWerleSs to over

he saw Miss Bette Cooper. an attractive but
bashful young lady. Duncan tell in love.
He fell in deep, too. He told his heart
aches to an old negro woman who Conmuni-
Gated them to Bette, and reported her an
swer to Duncan. Thus the thing went along.

Too Much Politics.

From the Marietta (Ga.) Journal (Dem0.
It is perhaps true that we have too much
politics in our country. With the election of
pres ldent every four years, governors and
congressman every two years we are kept in
constant political bIoil The result is as
soon as one fellow is elected to Office the
other fellow begins to plan to get him OUT as
soon as one party is placed in power the
other party begins TO plan TO supplant il at
the next election. This breeds demagogues
ana fosters political corruption. Why not
give the President six years, governors four
years, make them ineligible tta second cleo
tom 10 might be wise to give our national
representatives four years. and let the seua-
torlal term remain as il now IS. We would
then nave more legislation and less politics
more patriotism and less demagoguery.

The promise of an international navi-
cation company" that the government of
Liberia will give to each colored colonist
who goes from the United States to Libe-
ria twenty-five acres of land and the
necessary implements with which to cul-
tivate it,, is strikinglY suggestive of the
forty acres and a mule promise made
the colored people of the south by repub-
lican politicians some years after the war.
1t is the right of the colored people to 60
to Liberia, or anywhere else, if they want
TO, and nobody is going to try TO stop
them. But they had better not start to
Liberia with the expectation that the
government of that country is going TO
meet them at the wharf with carriages,
and later set them up on model farms, to
be bestowed without price. There may
be opportunities for enterprising people
in that country. But there. as elsewhere,
valuable things are to be had only for
valuable considerations.

Southern Roads in Good shane.

The time made by the Plant system and
Atlantic Coast Lines special train on
Sunday night and Monday last, running
from Jacksonville to Washington in 10
hours and 40 minutes, makes the record
for a distance of over 800 miles. The
special, as it ran, cutting off corners at
functions, covered distance of us miles
at the average rate of speed of about so
miles per hour. The New York Central
railroad holds the record for a long dis
lance run, less than 500 miles, that road
having sent train in September, 1891 g,
from New York to East Buffalo, 436 30
miles, at the rate of speed of 6l.56 miles
per hour, In May of last year the
same road made a record run
from New York to Chicago, 964
miles, at an average rate Of speed of 4S2
miles per hour. Both the New York
Central and the Pennsylvania road have
repeatedly made runs of 100 to 200 miles
at the rate of 60 to ~ miles per hour.
The fact remains, however, that for dis
lance and time, the southern train stands
at the head.
The record, considered in itself, does
not amount to a great deal. But there
are facts connected with the making Of
it that are interesting and important.
In order for the train to run from Jack
sonvile to Washington at a rate of speed
two miles per hour higher than
the speed Of the fastest regular train
in the world" the Empire State ex-
press of the New York Central, it was
| necessary for the engines, rolling stock
roadbeds, bridges, etc, to be in perfect
condition. The Empire State express
goes over what is known as America s
! greatest railroad" with its quadruple
! tracks rock ballasted. Yet the northern
! flyer never ran swifter and smoother than
did the southern flyer over its gravel
| ballasted single track. Passengers or
the southern special could not tell from
the motion of the train that they were
being hurried along faster than the reg.
ular schedule" of about thirty. miles an
hour.
The success of this attempt at record
making will show to the world that the
southern railroads are not behind
the roads of any other section
of country in enterprise, and that
their physical condition is flrst-class
What is true of the roads over which the
record-breaking run was made is true
probably of most Of the roads in the
south The improvement in their condi
ton during the last ten years has beer
very great and it is doubted if there is q
southern system to-day that is not il

The Iron Age, quoted in our dispatches
of yesterday, says "A significant fact
is that American cotton tie makers have
captured orders during this week in com
petition against free foreign cotton ties. "
That is, indeed, significant. And it is
significant Of nothing more than Of the
fact that the republican papers and poll
ticians were simply talking through their
hats when they said American manu-
facturers of cotton ties would be ruined
and their workmen reduced TO poverty
if the free cotton tie item in the tariff bill
should be adopted. American manu-
facturers will continue to make cotton
ties just as they did before; and they will
sell them, too, wherever the matter OF
freight rates viii permit of competition.
The freight rates on these goods are the
rates that have been kept up by the tariff,
not the rates of workingmen's wages.
These latter rates were long ago reduced
TO a minimum.

The republicans are "tickled to death"
because Harold M. Sewall of Maine has
left the Democratic party and become IA
republican. He is the man who, while
consul at Samoa, thought he knew better
what this governments foreign policy
should be than Secretary Bayard, and did
not hesitate to criticise harshly the sec
retary's policy. For his criticisms he
was fired out of the consular service; and
that accounts for his change of political
