SOUTHERN MAN AND SOUTHERN
MACHINERY.

Last week we noted the remarkably
fast time made on the Seaboard All
Line with special train between Wei.
don and Portsmouth, when the dis.
tance-7S miles-was covered in u
minutes including one stop. In this
connection the News and Observe,
calls attention to a fact worthy oil
note. 1t says:
Not great while ago when an en-
glneer on the D. l.. w. railroad made
big run with a Brooks engine, the
Brooks Company presented the engi-
neer with handsome gold watch
The famous run of IS miles in u
minutes by Engineer H. ]. Heilig, on
the Seaboard-Air Line, was made on
a Southern made engine, manufactured
by the Richmond Locomotive Works.
Mr.. Heilig's fine run has been widely
commented on all over the State. He
IS one of the most popular engineers in
the State, as we'll as one of the most
tried and true. He deserves all the
good things that are being said of him,
and more besides.
1t IS pleasant TO know that this run
was made by native Sou,herner on
an engine manufactured in the South.
Southern men and Southern manufac-
turers are at the front.

NEW SPECIES OF SNAKE.

snake was seven feet, six inches long
and two feet from the head two small

being about an inch long, and on
each leg were six we'll developed toes
with claws, two Of the claws being a
quarter of an inch long,

self saw the reptile and measured IT,.
1t was of a variety never seen in those
parts before. As Mr.. Cook is rep

believe what he says, although this
sounds very much like "snake story.
But as he further says the reptile has
been sent to the State Museum at Raj

pleasure of seeing it for ourself.

THANKSGIVING.

Throughout this broad land las,
Thursday was observed as a day Of
Thanksgiving to a benehcent God
who has given His people both the seed
time and harvest, and showered His
mercy and kindness upon them in
many ways. The following Thanks
giving editorial is from the Rocky
Mount Argonant:
When we look abroad and realize
the suffering, distress and sorrow in
other less favored portions of the world
we surely must appreciate the propri-
ETY. of the people of the United States
in giving humble and heartfelt thanks
to-day. The past year, although not
so prosperous as many could have
wished, has brought no great distress
or trouble to this people and the future
is bright with promise of better days.
This is particularly true of the South.
This section of the union is growing
steadily and every year sees numerous
enterprises started and capital becom-
ing interested in the development
of our unbounded natural resources,
and best of all every indication goes
TO prove that this era of progress has
just commenced, the day of prosperity
just dawning, and that the near future
will find the South in the position in
tended by the great Creator, one Of
the foremost and most prosperous sec
tlons of the earth.
For all this the people of this coun-
try should be thankful; happy in the
present but determined to work, hope
and pray for better days.
In the meantime let us
"PleSS our God for wondro wealth
Through all the bright, benignant year:
For shower and rain, for ripened grain,
For gift and guerdon, far and near.
We bless the ceaSelesS Providence
That watched us through the peaceful
days,
That led us home or brought us thence
And kept us ia our various ways"

Ex SENATOR Patrick Walsh, OF
Georgia, who was in Washington re-
Gently, said this:
at is to be sincerely hoped that
prosperity will come TO the country
through the incoming administration.
Every patriot hopes for that. The Re
pubIlcans will have the responsibility
and if their methods and policies are
for the general good, to them will be-
long the credit But if they fail TO
carry out the promises they have made
that, if entrusted with power, great
benefit would accrue to the country,
then the Democracy will meet them
at Phillip. Any man who reckons
that the Democratic party is dead is
making a serious mistake. If | am
not greatly mistaken 1t will be very
much alive in 1900"

THANKSGIVING.

The custom OF having day set
apart for Thanksgiving to Almighty
God for past favors, blessings and pro-
lection is very good custom, and
when rendered from sincere hearts can
not fail to meet the approval of the
High and Holy One. The creature
should be ever grateful to the Heav-
emily Benefactor, and praise, prayer,
confession and thanksgiving can never
be out of order or offensive to the great
and mighty Goa Of the universe. So
it is well for public authorities to sug-
gest day for general praise and
thanksgiving. Each man searching
his own heart and reviewing his own
life will be moved to make special
thanksgiving for himself for those
gracious favors and loving kindnesses
he has received from his maker, un-
worthy as he knows himself to be.
The Contri,e and sincere soul will re-
cieve blessing in return proportioned
and adapted to his needs, and per
haps to his solicitations. If God
shall see that it will be best for him
that he should have those things
sought.
Whether you are happy or depressed
you are bound to honor God and
thank Him in your heart for such null
titudinous benefactions as He has
showered upon you all your days. Il
wise you will earnestly seek the con.
tinuance Of the Divine complacency
and strive to enter in through the gate
into the Eternal City.
God during 1896 has been very
mercifll and long suffering toward:
the people of this country. Greatly
undeserving as they are neither pesti
lence, flmne nor war has entered to
devas,ate and blast as with the mildew
OF death. God reigns in righteous
ness He holds command Of the ar
mics OF Heaven and of earth. He il
indeed the Lord of Sabbath. He Car
restrain. He can remove. He Car
dcttroy. He can bring order out o
chaos. He can thwart the plans o
enemies and sever the band of con
| splrators. He can override and con
rroI the plot,ings of bad men and pre-
serve to the people their liberlizs
rights, muniments, and to the severa
sovereign American Commonwealth!
their autonomy and rights under TIT
constitution.
There is great occasion for thanks
giving and praise that it is as we'll will
us as it Is. 1t could BE- s. mach worse
Let US then gather in the churche:
to offer unto the Almighty God of ma
lions the incense Of grateful hearts 70

Democratic ORGANIZATION.

The result of the meeting in St.
Louis on Thursday is gratifying to all
democrats. Of the one hundred and
fourteen democratic county committees
in the State there were one hundred
and three represented in the meeting
and steps were taken for school dis
trict organization of thesparty in Mis-
souri,. The greatest enthusiasm was
manifested and the concensus of opin-
ion was that the democracy will ''stand
up for Missouri" SO effectively IN No
er that they will register majority at
least 60, 600 against ..Bossr Filley and
his henchmen.
This is the first time that school
district organization has ever been at
tempted by the democracy of this
State. Heretofore the necessity for it
has never been so apparent as at the
present time. 1t is needed now to get
the voters to go to the polls; to thor
oughly arouse them to the fact that we
are facing willy, well armed and well
organized foe, who, flushed with an
accidental victory two years ago, will
spare no effect to transfer Missouri
from the democratic to the republican
column of States. There are more
thar enough democrats in Missouri to
set all the calculations of the enemy
at naught il they will only go to the
polls in November.
The Tribune has from time to time
in the past six years urged organiza-
tion on the line adopted by the St.
Louis meeting, and we are glad that at
last the full strength of the party is to
be welded into compact and irresis-
tible movement. School district or
ganization, thoroughly carried out,
can mean but one thing. and that is
sweeping and complete democratic
victory. C. Tribune

Gen. Henderson's FaIIacy.

/ The people of Missouri, regardless
of politics, have high regard for Gen
John b. Henderson. The majority O
them do not not agree with him in hi.
political views. and very large ma
| jority dissent from his financial views
But they have respected him because
of their belief in his bona fides and
sincerity.
| 1t seems to the Post-Dispatch that
Gen. Henderson hardly justifies this
belief in his good faith in an interview
on the money question which he has
says:
The silver dollar to-day is CONNER
cially worth only so 2-3c. If man
having 52c in silver can take it to the
mint and have it stamped as a dollar,
| is it likely that the man having a dol
lars worth of gold bullion will have it
coined also into a single dollar. when
he can purchase enough silver bullion
to make two dollars? He who owns
SO Of gold could purchase enough sill
YER bullion to make nineteen coined
dollars. When coined. dollar of
silver would be as good to the owner
as dollar of gold.
The answer to this is as easy as it is
conclusive.
In the first place, it is not possible
for the owners of gold to find any con-
siderable amount of silver bullion to
purchase. The largest dealer in sill
yer bullion in London stated about
two months ago, in response to a di-
rect question, that it void be difficult
if not impossible for him to fill an or
der for 100000 ounces of silver bull
lion in 80 days, and that the attempt
to fill it would cause considerable in
crease in price.
In the second place, is it likely that
the owner of silver bullion would sell
it to the holder of gold for 525 cents,
when he could take it to the United
States miut and have it coined without
cost into dollars worth 100 cents? So
shrewd financier as Gen. Henderson
knows perfectly well that the enact
ment of a free coinage law would i'm
mediately raise the price of every
ounce of silver bullion in the United
States, or that could be brought into
the United States, to its full coinage
value. This being SO. where would the
owners of gold find the silver bullion
to buy at 523 cents on the dollar?
1t Is because the people of the West
and South have been fed for so long
on husks of this kind that they no
longer pay any attention to the finan-
Louis Post-Dispatch.
