in tho middle of tho table. There was
quite q hush for a time, and Oxygen
looked up at the nine foot gun OH the
crotches behind him to soc if it had
been loaded.
Finally u bright SOD, about 8 years
old, who has been to Hendersonville
once and is looked up to n good deal
around Elevation, said:
= II b'leve to God, paw, hos 'ludin at
the sop!"
We are having rather a quiet but very
delightful winter here, with now and
then n frosty night to purify the air and
make life worth living. In the crisp
dawn I hear tho deep mouthed baying
of the hound and faraway, too, tho
deep mouthed husbandman giving
tongue to the false joys of his own i'm
provised apple jack.
Some bitter complaints are made and
suits brought against tho Southern rail
way lately for delay and incompctency
in shipping goods and a general failure
to accomplish the objects for which it
was created. P%erishable goods arc in
jured, and other goods are eaten by the
trainhands. For my own part, I have
suffered very little, us l do not ship
anything but the New York papers over
the road. III December, however, I had
acarload of manure for my farm shipped
from Asheville to Arden, ten miles, aud
yet when the car reached Inc tho goods
had spoiled. This is the first time I have
said a word about it, and 1 hate to do
so now, but 1 want to be Just as just
and impartial with this road as 1 would
if l paid my fare over it.
Much ado has been made over the
vestibule train on this line, which was
to practically annihilate time and place
the roses and pomegranates of Florida
and Louisiana right in the front yard
OF New York, but the train is really q
week or two slower than it was ere it
had been v~estibuled.
The political situation here Mt the
present time is extremely interesting,
and some criticise congress while others
criticise the president. Criticising con-
gress is ono of the most unsatisfactory
methods of passing the time that 1 can
imagine. A criticism that has to be di-
vided up among 800 or 400 men who
are not of 4 sensitive nature is like try
ing to purify Tammany Hall by burning
q rag.
Some think that the president should
not go hunting ducks when he has o
chance to insult tho British, regarding
the latter as far greater sport to the
thinking mind than the former, but Of
course l havo my own ideas about that.
Others make still more invidious re-
marks. One man tho other day raked
up q lot of old and forgotten tali1 about
the presidents former term, etc.
"Why." says he. when the president
got married, he lit out without a word,
only that he ordered his secretary not to
forward any engrossed bills to him dur
ing his honeymoon. Think Of that!''
Why, hang it, I'm no partisan, Of
course, but l can be just and fair, 1
hope. I'd only ask the president TO do
as anybody else would do. Why, when I
was married, 1 left the same word, and
also i'll tho order I included all other
bills Of every kind whatsoever, and yet
there WAS not Il word said about it in
the papers.

Frans James as AN E.press Guard.


Frank James as a guard on express
trains carrying large amounts OF money
or valuables is one of the novelties the
express people are now arranging. Ne
gotiations have been in progress now
for several weeks but the possibilities
are that they will be closed UP within
few days. The effect OF James name,
in view of his former prowess IN rob
bing trains himself, is what the express
companies are aiming after. They 90
not know, they say, that he could stop
a determined robber any more than cne
of their own messengers, but they
think the ordinary train robber would
hesitate to tackle him. James is Will
ing 10 accept the position, and guaraa-
tee that no train in his charge will be
robbed except over his dead body, with
but one single provision, and that is
that the express people put up a bond
of $4,000, this amount to go TO his
widow in case of his death. The eX-
press people are inclined TO yield to
this. though there is some opposition.
James has been firm in standiTg out for
it. and will not go On the road unless
the bond is fixed up to his satisfaction.
Since he became respectable law
abiding citizen he has taken very good
care of his family, and he does not pro-
pose to commence doing anything else
now. When the negotiations We're first
begun he was asked if he could shoot
with both hands
Well he replied, 1T used to be that
I could, and l guess have not forgot
ten how yet
James has been working steadily for
some time, but has never been able to
make an exorbitant salary and for that
reason would be willing to take the risk
of this venture AS one of his friends
says: 1T is rot as much risk as he has
taken on hundreds of occasions before
when ont on his raids The only differ
ence would be that in this he would
have the law on his side. st. Louis

| The announcement that Queen Vic
toria is to leave, by viii, Osborne house
die house to another, and Balmoral, the
royal residence in the Highlands, to the
duke of Connaught, recalls the fact that
the nan who would deyour this par
ticular Widows houses must make an
! luncolnmonly full mCll, says an eX-
| change. 1t was discovered few years
| since that the queen owned SOC houses
in various parts OF England not royal
residences, but rcnt-yieldinS property
and that about G,000 houses had been
built Ey crown lessecs on building
leascholds held by the queen. SAc then
had also rents from markets and tolls
from ferries, besides the proceeds OF
mines and other works upon her prop
erty or the crown property. She had
large estates in rnshire, OXfordshire
and Berks. valuable lands in the Isle
Of Man and in Alderney. Scotland, Ire
land and Wales OF the New Forest
there are 1000 acres of absolute and
l
property. Her majesty enjoys income
from the forest Of Dean, from several
other forests and from rich properties
in and about London.
Osborne, on the Isle of Wight, and
Balmoral in the highlands are the
private property of the queen and are
maintained ont OF her own income. But
she has the use Of a few royal palaces
| besides and these are maintained by
| the nation at an annual expenditure
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000. The
queen is in the occupancy OF Bucklng-
ham palace, Windsor castle, the white
lodge at Richmond park and part of
ST. James palace. The remainder OF
the lastnamed palace is occupied by
other members of the royal family.
| Other royal palaces maintained as sucn
| although not in the occupancy or the
queen, are kensington palace, Hamp-
| ton court which, according to recent
estimate based on the statistics ofeight
! or ten years. costs the nation OH the
average over $4,000 a year; Kew
palace. Pembroke lodge, the thatcned
| cottage and Sheen cottage, Richmond
! park, Busby house in Bushy park and
| Holyrood palace. The queen when she
| visits the continent has one great house
! or another, with whatever repairs and
refurnishing are necessary to fit it for
| temporary royal occupant, although
| for ali this she pays out OF her own in
come. Bagshot house, Gloucester house
and Clarence house are palatial dwell
| lings occupied by various members OF
| the royal family.
! The queen has four rather old-iash-
ioned yachts, on which she makes her
sea journeys, although the Oldest OF
| them probably is used seldom or never.
| The four cost originally about si,3I5,-

Judge Harmon Reprses to Brvan,

Washington, Sept 14.-Judson Har-
mon, attorney general Of the United
States, has issued an open letter in
answer to that portion of William j.
Bryan's letter of acceptance relating to
federal interference in local affairs.
Mr.. Harmon in this letter quotes the
authority under which President Cleve-
land acted in ordering the federal
troops to Chicago during the railroad
riots of 1894 claiming that the action
was taken not to enforce the laws of
the commonwealth of Illinois, but to
enforce the laws of the United States
alone, which the president has full pow
er to do without waiting for the re-
quest of the executive or any other Of
fetal OF the individual state.

Exposition, that is the colored man
must effect his own salvation.
Everything depends upon himself.
Heaven Helps him who helps him
self. He believes the Negro has
within him immense power for
self-uplitting, but confesses that
for years it will be necessary to
guide and stimulate him. Eric
ton between the races, he truly
observes, will pass away in pro
portion as the colored people by
reason of their skill, intelligence
and character, can produce some
thing that the white man wants or
respects in the commercial world,
"We tind," he adds, ''that as
every year we put into q southern
community colored men who can
start brick yard, a saw mill, a
tin shop, or printing office
men who can produce something
that makes the white man partly
dependent on the Negro, instead
of all the dependence being on the
other side "a change takes place
in the relations of the races And
this !:
"Let us go on for a few years
knitting our industrial and busl-
ness relations into those Of the
white man, till black man gets a
mortgage on white mans house
that he can foreclose at will. The
white man on whose house the
mortgage rests will try to prevent
the Negro from voting when he
goes to the polls. 1t is through
the dairy farm, the truck garden,
the trade and commercial life
that the Negro is to find
his way to the enjoyment of all
his rights. Whether he will or
not, white man respects a Negro
who owns two-story brick

The Negro taught during
slavery to look upon labor as de-
grading, but that feeling is now
away. Every institution
in the south giving training to the
handicrafts is crowded. Those
who were once ashamed to work
are rushing in to learn the best
methods of work. Perhaps in
this very tendency may be found
the solution of the great Negro

DECLINE OF WALKING
Tho Wheel IL Responsible for a Great
Deal OF 1t.

Dest OF 1T.
We found that from several causes
the pace was always best at the end
of the day, says the Country House.
For one thing, the legs dc not fall
into the proper swing for the ;irst mile
or two, and with big task before us
we knew better than to hurry at start
ing. A strong, steady pace goes fur
ther in this, as in everything. Then
we soon lighted on the fact that at the
end Of hard day, if there was any
doubt about lasting ii out the only
| chance was to make the going as fast
as possible. Two men walking together
may be equally and utterly exhausted
in body and mind, but If they have got
a strong, uniform, mechanical stride
there are miles in them still. To
stop or falter at such time is fatal.
The legs give way, the knees shake
and stiffness comes over the body
that is shaken of with greater pain
each time, until at last it will prove
masterfui altogether. Thirst pure and
simple | found easy to overcome by
sheer practice and resolution. In my
early days l perspired profusely and

am afraid the bicycle has given it
the coup dc grace. 1t is natural to
prefer an exercise that will show you
eighty miles of country instead OF thir-
ty with an equal amount OF fatigue.
But ! think and l know that the cy-
clist misses great deal, in addition
to having chosen the less health-giving
pastime. In the cultivation of sound
lungs and broad shoulders the pedes-
tIian has no rival. He gets all the
delightful smell OF the country, which
the cyclist cannot catch whizzing along
in a swift atmospheric current. He
gets all the pretty detail OF woods and
fields and bitches and animal life, OF
which the wheelman has only blur.
We may legitimately turn the phrase
and say that he cannot see the trees
for the wood Then it is obvious that
the man on his feet can turn aside
and see the corners CT nature and per
haps finest of all is the subtle and to
me always exquisite pleasure OF feel
ing the proud independence OF having
covered the ground by ones own un-
aided locomotion. The walking man
is the most self-contained man OF all.
In large town there are peculiar
deterrents to systematic walking.
Chiefest is the ring of dull and some
times dirty suburbs which has to be
penetrated before the open is reached

Frled Cheese in Florida.

The filled cheese" bill passed by

special government tax of $3.50 per an
mum will have to be paid by all whole

cial tax at the rates given all dealers
who have any filled cheese in stock
on Sept. are required to purchase
special tax-stamps, at the cost of cent
for each pound, and attach these
stamps on the packages containing fill
ed cheese. This will only have to be
done with the stock on hand,
for any filled cheese receiv-
ed after September 4 will have

THE OUTLOOK Is GOOD

Having travelled through south
elm Iowa and northern Missouri
last week we found the corn crops
looking well, and. if frost does not
come to early there will be one of
the largest yield per acre than
ever before.
Politics is the main talk, yet we
were unable to find even one
colored free silverite they are all
for sound money and prosperity.
In Abba, Charlton, Garden Grove,
Leon, Decatur, Bethany, and AL
bany, we found the colored people
doing well, and conversant on the
political issues. An emancipa-
ton day celebration was held at
Bethany last Wednesday, and was
well attended by delegations from
Iowa and Missouri. The Gallitan
cornet band furnished music, and
Nelson G. Crews of Kansas City,
spoke, delivering an address that
was we'll received.
At Bethany Henry and Charles
Pugh each have tonsorial parlors;
Charles McGregor, a bright young
man has almost completed the en-
gineering course, and is now first
assistant engineer of the city cleo
trio light plant. Messrs- Nelson
Watkin and Caldwell are the only
colored families in Albany, the
latter has barber shop, and the
former blacksmith shop, having
been there about fifteen years.
He is a G.. A. r. man and attend
ed the recent encampment at ST.
Paul. 1t is a pleasure to see
colored people prospecting in the
smaller towns, on the farm and
learning different trades.
