SENATOR DANIELS REJo1NDER.
He Answers Gov. O'Ferralrs Answer to
His Answer

Lynchburg, Va, Sept. 1S.-A letter
rom Senator j. w. Daniel in answer to
the recent letter of Governor O'Ferran,
will be published in the Lynchburg News
tomorrow. A considerable part of Sen
ator Daniels letter is devoted to quot
ing newspaper comments on his speeches
last fall, and extracts from a letter writ
ten by him in October, 1896, all show
ing that his construction of the govern
ment by injunction" plank of the Chicago
platform, was the same then as it is now
This is in refutatiOn of the charge of the
Governor that Senator Daniel held his
peace on the subject during the last cam
paign. Senator Daniel then deals with a
number of other political topics.
In discussing Governor OFerralPs
charge that the last national Democratic
platform proposed to revolutiOnize the
Supreme court in order to get from it
decision favorable to an income tax, Sen
ator Daniel declares that ''the Democ-
racy has never packed the Supreme court.
1t never will. To impute the suggestion
to Islander as reputable men as the ma
ton has in it."

GENERAL GOBIN'S DILEMMA.

Since. pursuant to the judges injunction
miners in the Pittsburg region are not
allowed even to persuade other miners to
stop work, the wives of the miners, VINO
are not mentioned in the injunction, have
taken it upon themselves to pummei
those at work till they ''come off," From
the ton Of "culm banks" we read OF so
called Amazonian women throwing heavy
objects upon the heads OF the offenders.
This is no less than brilliant flank
movement. For many OF the women are,
no doubt, stronger even than ther
Sclav:c or Hungarian husbands, ana
with all the sacred halo Of feminlnlty
about their brows they can break'a hole
IN the brow Of the competing miner. ms
might be called killing two birds with
one stone, if such trifing were allowable
in dealing with subject so grave.
But the end is not yet. One need not
waste undue sympathy upon the victims
of these brawny but affectionate help
patty who should have a big national
tear.
That same is Brigade Commander
General Goblin.
This commander said touching Fri
DAYS engagement that the action
of the raiding women was giving him
much perplexity.''
"He does not care to use force against
them" the story continues, land has In
structed the soldiers in case of necessity to
use only the flats of their bayonets upon
the Amazons." Military men will see at
once that a militiaman with the fiat OF
y bayonet" will be no match for one OF
these women with well delivered Jumps
of coal-specially anthracite. Therefore,
in addition to the probability that Go
bins troops might be routed, which
would cons:gn him to the ignomlny OF
eternal ridicule, there remains the more
dangerous probability that, in case vic
tory perehes on Goblin, he will go down
to history as the first warrior that ever
did battle with women.
From the accounts of Goblin, we judge
that he is both cautious and chivalrous.
And between fear Of defeat and shud-
der at spanking the fair sex with the
flats of his bayonets, we can well see
how Goblin at this moment pauses with
perplexity, while the clods and stones
drop down beyond reach Of law from the
culm banks upon the heads Of those who
persist in the crime of working.

AN OBIECT-LeSSON ROAD.

During the recent discussion in the
Watauga Club of road Improvement, II
was suggested that an ohject-!esson road
between two considerable towns, as
Raleigh and Durham or Raleigh ana
Fayetteville, was the most prachca'
thing TO strike for first-with an ultimate
view of establishing policy or system
by Which all the important towns could
be connected by good roads.
The advantage of centerlng all en-
ersies to get one good macadamizei road
from Raleigh to Fayetteville or Dur
ham is obvious. 1t will stand as an
obiect-lesson for the whole State. The
cities at each end of it would vie with
each other in their endeavors to finish it.
The peoplq along the route would catch
the cOntagion of its progress and great
Nv assist in it. The General Assembly
could easily be prevailed on to enact
the necessary friendly legislation if 1T
once saw that the people were in earn
est. The people, in all parts OF the
State would watch the experiment with
interest, study the questions OF costs
and economy as the work progressed,
and long before it was finished other
similar roads would doubtless be begun.
At the next meeting of the Watauga
Club general estimates showing as near
as may be the average cost per mile
of good permanent macadamized roads
between the cities named will be sub
mitted. AS soon as all the difficulties
in the way can be got together, the ne
cessary legislation and other remedies
will be discussed.
There is no doubt that the best use
the State and county convicts can be
nut to is road-building for the use Of
society, whose laws they have violated.
A road congress at the next State
Fair, with delegates from all parts OF
the State and distinguished speakers and
specialists on this subject from other
States. would be one of the most prac-
teal and beneficial uses the Fair could
be put to.
The columns of this paper are open
to push the road congress and good
roads. How. man road specialists have
we in this State, and is theirs paying
business? The young men would like
TO know.

Ex-senator NJ. w. Ransom was in the

ing Rock, where he will spend several

stated that he had been down on the
farm with his sons during the summer

tie rest.
