OPPORTI MITES FOR INVESTMENT
IN THE SOUTH.

The New York FInanrier calls at
garded as of vast moment to the peo-
lie of the South, when i, says:
The millions which have been
poured into the West during the past
ten or fifteen years by eastern investors
must soon seek new field, partly be-
cause of the maturity of many of the
obligations and the non necessity of
their renewal, and partly because moe
tempting opportunities have been
opened in other sections. The South
IN this connection is assuming an i'm
portant place in American finance.
Its wonderful growth during the past
few years at time, too, when bust
ness over the country was unusually
depressed, was not the result of a
studied effort to attract capital, but on
the contrary was brought about
through natural advantages which were
SO easily perceptlble as to invite first,
investigation, and then investment. 1t
is unnecessary to explain at length
why the South will continue during the
next 10 years to grow steadily. Its
destiny is as certain as anything hu-
man can we'll be. The growth of this
region has as yet only commenced.

\ pOWERFI LIGHT

What is known as the DUR light
has been recently tested in Baltimore
in very successful manner. 1t is in
tended for use wherever night work
is done. The principles employed
are very simple, and the lamp is so
constructed that it can be easily
transported and set up at any point.
After oil in minute quantities is intro
duCed into cylinder from an over
head reservoir, it is ignited in such a
manner as to atomic 1t, and in this
condition is burned. As a result a
very brilliant illumination is produced,
giving light of fully $500 candle
power, by which printing can be read
at distance Of several hundred feet,
end affording special facilities for
working on railroads, unloading and
loading vessels, and mining opera
tions, Tests have been made in Bal
timore under the supervision of X. ].
Leopold, whose Office is at 52I Equit-
able Building. 1t has recently been
used by the City and Suburban Rail
way Co., in working on tracks at
night, with very satisfactory results. 1t

of these lights is but thirty-fve cents

IMPROVEMENTS TO BAY LINE
STEAMERS.

1t was only recently that We referred
to recent improvements made by the
Baltimore Steam Packet Company
to their already splendidly equipped
feet of steamers, known as the old
Bay Line, plying between Norfolk and
Baltimore. As our people are SO init
mately connected by ties of business
and feel such personal interest in what
ever affects or concerns this popular
and pleasant route, We reprint the fol-
lowing article from the Suffolk Herald
of last week:
The Baltimore Steam Packet Com
pany is making extensive improve
ments to its steamers, and has recent
ly completed this work on the AIa-
hama Although she is practically a
new vessel, the Company decided to
refurnish her and make other better
ments. Expense was not spared, and
it is safe to say that there are few YES
sells in the coastwise or transatlantic
service that are more luxuriously fur
nished and appointed than the Ala
bama. Many of the carpets in the
staterooms are Administer, while the
carpets and hangings in the saloons
are of the choicest patterns. The pre-
vailing colors, white and gold, which
were originally used to decorate the
saloon and cabin interiors, were util-
lied in the redecoration with very ar
tistic effect.
The alabama is a Southern craft
from keel to pilot house. She was
constructed by the Maryland Steel
Company, at Sparrow's Point, Md.
This boat has triple expansion engines
using four cylinders-a form Of con-
struction adapted to balance the
weight and power with the view to
having steamer void Of vibration. 1t
has four boilers, with all the latest i'm
provements; steam reversing engines,
steam feed-pumps, donkey-Pumps tor
salt and fresh water service through
out, one powerful steam-pump to be
used in case of fire or leakage, double
engines for working freight elevators,
double engines for working steering
gear, double engine for working wind
lass, double engines for working cap
STAINS, and powerful search-light OF
10000 candle power, run by indepen-
dent engines and independent dyna,
mo. The hull is steel throughout,
without a particle of iron in it, and
was built under the rules of the United
States Standard Shipbuilders and I'm
derwriters' Association. The Ala-
hama is classed as Al by marine in.
surance men. She is of neerly 2,ooc
tons.
The Baltimore Steam Packet Com.
pany is closely allied with Southern
interests, as it forms the Baltimore ex-
tension of the Seaboard Air Line,

are Messrs. r. G. Hoffman, president

every one most remarkable, and clearly

ABOUT GOOD ROADS.

When people become thoroughly
awake 10 the necessities and advant-
ages Of good roads they will have
them. At least they will make an
honest and determined effort in that
direction. Good roads will not come
all at once, of course, but little
at time. And the sooner start is
made the better. A few miles this
year, longer stretch next year, and
it would not be a great while before
the main highways Of the county could
be designated and dignified by the term
good roads. With the proper imple-
ments-road machines, scrapers, etc.
and the judicious expenditure of
money this could be done. Once
put in proper condition, by the use of
wide tires on wagons, carts and other
vehicles, there is no reason why Vance
county should not have roads as good
as the best.
Speaking OF wide tires, it is sur
prising to US that they are not used in
preference TO the narrow tires seen on
all vehicles intended for heavy hauling
any way. They are better for any
condition of road and there is no
question that if wide tires were once
adopted their superiority would be
generally recognized. The advantage
of wide tires is apparent to the most
casual thinker on the subject. In this
connectioAswe quote from the Suffolk
UerakA, its attention having been
drawn to the subject by the consular
report on the roads of France produced
below.
The finest roads on earth are said
10 be in France, and that country is
far less favorable than ours, it being in
most sections billy and even noun
famous. The great secret Of success
on this line is the fact that there is a
law regulating the width of the tires.
The consular report respecting the
good roads of France says:
Every freighting and market cart
here is road-maker. Its tire are from
three to ten inches in width, usually
from four to six. With the few four
wheeled freight vehicles used the tires
are rarely less than six inches in
width, and the rear axle is about
fourteen inches longer than. the fore,
so that the rear or hind wheels run in
a line about an inch outside Of the
level rolled by the fore wheel.

OUR WINCHESTER DEAD.
The Movement to Mark the Graves OF
the Confederate Dead With Suitable
HeadSfOneS.


Headstones.
We publish on the fourth page Of
the GOLD LEAF this week an article to
which we desire to call the especial
attention of our readers with the object
OF interesting them in the movement
therein mentioned. As will be seen
list of the Confederate soldiers buried
at Winchester, Va, and whose graves
are yet unmarked by suitable head
stones, is given, together with the COM
pany and regiment to which they be-
longed.
AS will be seen by reading the list
of names there are five soldiers from
the 10th Regiment, of which the gal
liant young Harry K. Burgwyn was
Colonel, besides number of others
we'll known in this and adjoin-
ing counties. Warren and Granville
furnished several men whose names
appear in the list. We observe also
that there is one soldier from Com
pany H., 35th Regiment, of which
our townsman..Col. VIM. H. S. Burgwyn
was Captain at the time Of Private
Andrews death.
In this connection we reprint the
following from the Concord Standard:
1t is the pride and honor of the
good Old North State that she sent to
the front of battle more soldiers than
any other Southern STRAIGHTFORWARD
sealed their devotion with their life's
blood. Four hundred of these lie in
the cemetery at Winchester, Va, in
unmarked graves. Soldiers from all
other States, who we're buried there,
have head stones. North Carolinians
have none
The ladies of the Confederate Mon
umental Association have taken steps
TO raise funds to mark these graves, the
cost of each head stone, with proper
inscription, to be $3.50. This insures
the accomplishment of the work.
Since the article above referred to
was put in type we have received a
communication from Mrs. O. w.
Blacknall, of kittrell, touching the
same subject. 1t will be found else
where. 1t is gratifying to know that
interest in the matter is taking such
shape.
1t may be stated in this connection
that we have assurance that stones Tor
six graves have already been promised
from Vance county. Are there not

-ERIAL NAVIGATION.
! is almost here.

1t is almost here.
Not twenty-five years will elapse
before it will be accomplished and
we shall watt ourselves through space
by means of some more or less com
plicated pinions. When balloon voy-
ages to the North pole are seriously
contemplated by foolhardy explorers,
and Prof Langley's air ship makes
a flight of half mile, we are ap-
preaching very rapidly the solution of
a problem that has charmed the world
ever since Dedalus and Icarus tried
to make their way across the sea with
waxen wings, and, getting too near the
sun, tumbled in. Aeriel navigation is
no longer dream, a chimera, an idle
fancy, it is a scientific fact; imperfect
it is true, but budding into perfection
very rapidly. Its great promoter and
helpmate, of course, in the end will be
cleo richly, and as inventions in that
line progress so the airship will come
nearer and nearer practical periec-
ton.
One can hardly estimate the mag
nitude of tine revolution which will be
wrought in matters of transportation
both of men and material, when this
new agent comes upon the scene. Dis
lance will be still further annihilated
and journeys across land or sea, no
matter how far, regarded no more
than ride on the street cars nova
days. The alrship, brought to a state
of perfection, will Ii axe it possible to
travel from New York to London in
couple Of days, end we shall be able
to leave Washington on Monday
morning and be in San Francisco by
Tuesday night, or perhaps even
sooner.
Ofcourse, there are doubling Thorn
asses who will smile pityingly and in
credulously at these predictions; but
they or their kind did the same thing
when the telegraph was suggested, OF
the telephone, or the phonograph. The
marvel of to-day is the commonplace
thing of tomorrow, and SO it will be
with mans flying through the air.

REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

L y llChEI.
The Republican State convention,
which met in Raleigh last Thursday,
nominated the following ticket: For
Governor, Daniel L. Russell, of New
Hanover; Attorney General, Zeb.
Vance Walser, of Davidson; Auditor,
Ruff Henderson, of Rockingham; As
sociate Justice, Robert NJ. Douglass,
of Guilford. This skeleton ticket wa S
made with the supposition that the rest
would be filled out by the Populists. II
the convention decides in favor OF fusion
Gas opposed by Senator Butler and 9TH
ers, and advocated by Gill, Amos and
others nominations will be made for
Lieut. Governor, Secretary of State and
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Col. Oliver H. Dockery was close
second of Russell for the nomination,
he receiving on the Seventh ballot
1o4 Al votes as against 11o 81 for
Russell. 1t is claimed that Dockery
would have been nominated on first
ballot but for the unseating of ~
Dockery delegates in accordance with
the minority report submitted by
two members of the committee on Gre
dentlals, which was adopted by the
convention.
There is bitterness and disappoint-
ment in the breasts Of many staunch
life long Republicans at Russell's
nomination. They realize that he is
the easiest man to beat that could have
been put up by their party.
