have heretofore announced them
selves as such, are now nominees of
one or the other of the county par

(Atlanta { Journal. }

1t is said that Biltmore house is the
finest private residence in the world
Geo. w. Vanderbilt has lavished his
wealth on this place and its adjacent
park. The park is more than twice
the size of Atlanta, containing about
1900 acres, and the hunting pre-
serve, reaching to Mt. Pisgah, contains
$4,000 acres, or 1876 square miles.
The park is all that landscape gard
ners can make it. The site is ideal,
rolling and broken, and made pic
turesque by the course of the French
Broad River. Twelve miles Of mac
adamizd roads wind about among the
rarest flowers and shrubs of the world.
The mountain laurel grows beside the
rhododendron, and the honeysuckle
interlocks its foliage with rarer vines
along the borders. Miles Of spruce
and balsam are mingled with other
shrubs, and it is impossible to distin-
guish between the indigenous and the
exotic. No one can tell where nature
leaves off and art begins. The entire
wonderful variety Of flowers and shrubs
seems to have sprung from the soil
without care. The drainage is perfect,
and the exhlarating air is laden with
the perfume of h)wers, intermingled
in indescribable bouquets.
Biltmore House rests on an eminence
2,Soo feet above sea level, overlooking
most of the park, with a view of half
a hundred mountain peaks that rise to
a height of 900 to 6,2oo feet. 1t is

being stocked with other birds and
animals.
Mr.. Vanderbilt chose this site as one
Of the most beautiful in the world.
The picturesque beauty of the noun
tain region is made deli, h,ful by the
peculiar stimulating quality Of the at
mosphere. Its dryness and braclng
GOODNESS makes it a tonic equal TO
champagne. The Trip through the
Gland of the Sky from Salisbury to
Ashevllle, and down the French Broad
and Hols,on rivers to East Tennessee
by the Southern Railwny is an exhili
rating experience. Climbing up Round
Knob, the track winds about the
riountain fourteen times, and the train
climbs I,4oo feet in IL miles. At the
summit is a tunnel. Emerging from
this the train whirls into full view Of
Royal Gorge, a grand avenue among
the mountains. As far as the eye can
reach, mountains rise to the rig ht al d
left, with broken valleys between.
This region is easily reached from any
part Of the South by the Southern
Railway.
Now for the first time since the dis
covery Of the Gland of the Sky" there
is Car service with closely connecting
schedule, between Asheville and all
points reached through Atlanta.

Just at this time and in years i'm
mediately following three supreme
objects should engage the interest of
North Carolina, from mountains to sea.
1. First and most important is the
improvement of our educational facil
tiles. This must be done. The States
stain of illiteracy must be wiped out.
The public schools must do it, The
question then narrows down to the
perfecting of the public schools and
inducing a regular attendance upon
them. We do not advocate compul-
sorry education. That is too undem-
ocratic. But something must be done.
2. Diversified industries, from farm
ing to manufacturing. The day has
passed when we may expect to grow
rich or even prosperous alone on our
crops of cotton and tobacco. Our
climate is suitable for the cultivation
of nearly any product of the United
States. Attention must be directed
more to what is looked upon as small
things, dairying, poultry raising, vari-
Gus foods for both man AID beast fruit
growing, trucking, etc. The numer-
Gus through lines of railroads piercing
the State open up abundant markets
for us, and thousands Of dollars will
pour into the State where now not one
comes. Notable examples of this are
the wonderful development of the
trucking and fruit-growing industry of
the Eastern portion of the State in the
past few years, where only a little
stuff was made for the few home mar
kets that have been opened up to the
North Carolina farmers and fruit
growers. 1t would be interesting to
know how many thousands of dollars
were brought into the State this year
by the strawberry crop alone. We
have often heard the cry Of "diverslfy,"
"diversify;;' bu. it is a stern necessity.
In manufacturing the chief operations
are in cotton mills, of which there are
large number in the State, most of
them having paid handsome profits
until the hard times set in, since when
few have done much more than keep
going.
Profits will doubtless revive with the
revival of business. Other manufac-
lures will be built as the population
grows more sustaining and opportunl-
ties of successful investments arise.
:. Road Making. This must be
an important question in the State for
at least the next quarter of century.
We take it that the necessity and de
STABILITY of good roads are self evident.
No agricultural country can long re-
main in the highest state of prosperity
unless the farmers have highways over
which they can easily, quickly and
cheaply carry their products to market,
or shipping point. The birth of this
sentiment in North Carolina is recent,
but it seems we'll started. May it not
decrease. e.-Monroe Journal

DEATHS FINAL CONQUEST.
By JAMES SHIRLEY

The glOrIes of birth and state,
Are shadows, not substantial things;
Ihere:ls no armOr against fate:
Death lays its icy hand on kings,
Sceptre and crown
Must tumble down.
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade
Some men with swords may reap the field
And plant with laurels where they kill
But their strong nerves at last must yield
They tame but one another still;
Early or late,
They stOOp to fate.
And must give up their murmuring
BREATH
When they, pale captives. creep to
death.
The garlands wither on your brow;
Then boast no more your mighty deeds
Upon deaths purple altar, now,
See where the victOr'S victim bleeds.
All heads must come
10 the cold tomb,
Only the actions OF the just
Smell sweet and blossom in the dust.
