CAROLINA EXCURsIoNIsTs HERE
Two Sections from Raleigh and Vicinity
Stampede Richmond.
(Ricllmond Dispatch.)

North Carolina was well represented
upon the streets of Richmond yesterday
More than seven hundred eXcursionists
from the Tarheel State were here. and
although the day was not bright and
encouraging one, the visitors really en-
ioyed themselves. They lost no time, tax
ing in the points of interest, going
through the public buildings, visiting the
large stores. etc. A great many came on
business, some to see old friends, others
for one purpose or another, but the large
body of the North State contingent came
on pleasure bent, as members of or lnte-
rested in the Tabernacle Baptist Sun
day school, of Raleigh, \. c., under the
excellent auspices of which the excursion
was conducted
The excursionists came upon two sec
tions of train of the Atlantic Coast Line
each section consisting of baggage and
five passenger coaches. Every car was
comfortably filled. and it was a happy
fun-loving party. embracing almost as
many ladies and children as there were
men, and giving to all assurance of per
feet conduct and a good time. Most OF
the visitors came from Raleigh, though
people We're picked up all along the line
and a hundred or more came from Dur
ham.
The appearance upon the streets of this
number of strangers at once made itself
felt in all branches of business. The
stores soon began to fill up, and trade
was very brisk throughout the afternoon
which was an unusual thing.
The first section of the excursionists
train left the city for home at 6 O'Clock
last evening, and the other train will de-
part for the Carolina State at 3 o'clock to-
morrow afternoon.

ties of the future will be fought not with
gun and sword, but with ideas and

cative misunderstanding, preaching

to carry to others that culture which this
institution has given to you.
What beauty and a gracious manner
are to a woman, pleasing address and an
eloquent tongue are to a man. In neither
case can the accomplishment take the
place of substantial worth and character

/ hear our State today calling upon you
and men like you to enlist for service in
tie great struggle for better educational
facilities for the masses of the people. We
are just now entering the most important
campaign in the history of this State
within my recollection. In August every
township not already levying special
tax for schools is to decide by ballot
whether it will take an advance step in
educating its citizenship or whether we
shall remain the most illiterate white
people, except those of New Mexico, in
| the United States of America.
1t is easier to win applause by using an
eloquent tongue to recall the greatness
of the past or to speculate about the glo-
r:es of the future, but / believe it is
Drawer and more useful, even though the

A SURE GO.

The Bellows FalIs-Saxtons River Electric
Road-So Says One Of the Burlington Big
Four-WilI be Built This Season.
"The road will surely be built this
season." said one of the Burlington Big
Four in conversation with representative
of the TINES yesterday. 1.-The people
here are enthusiastically in favor of the
road, and we have heard nothing but good
wishes.
"The books were opened this morning
for subscription to stock, and j. S. Pier
son, j. j. Flynn, A. 0. Humphrey, and
j. H. Holton, all OF Burlington, subscribed
for 40 shares each, share being 800;
George R. Wales, A. N. Swain, Clark
one share each. The stockholders will
hold meeting in the near future and elect
president and board OF directors. The
president and three other directors will be
local parties probably. The books have
been left with the secretary, George A.
Weston and any other local parties who
wish to take stock can do so.
"These Burlington gentlemen represent
capital enough to build several roads like
this one, and have been in the business
several years, and because they know the
ropes can build the road much cheaper
than less experienced men could. We
could have built the Springfield road %
per cent cheaper than it is being built.
The road will be built the regular
gauge so that freight cars can be taken
from the railroads without difficulty, and
freight taken to Saxtons River in carload
lots without breaking bulk. In fact the
road will be solid enough to carry regu-
lar locomotive everywhere except on the
ascent to the Terrace. The road will be
equipped with as handsome passenger
coaches as the market affords, which will
be propelled, heated and lighted by cleo
tricity. The track will be laid from the
depot to Bridge street, through the Square,
up Rockingham street to the four pines,
down Atkinson street to the corner of At
kinson and Westminster, and then up the
terrace and to Saxtons River.
1.-The question of power has not yet
been settled; however, there are several
ways in which we can get power; the
Westminster Electric Light company offer
an opportunity to locate power house;
then there is the Fall Mountain plant, and
we can put in steam power of our own il
necessary.
Yes, the road will be 60, and will be
built this season.

Death of Miss Lu Ranville.

The many friends of Miss Lu Ranville
were panied to hear of her death at the
home Of her parents in Bartonsville about
10 o'clock yesterday morning, although
her long sickness and rapidly falling con-
dition recently made the announcement no
surprise. There are few young ladies in
town who have SO many warm friends and
thoughtful acquaintance as Miss Ran
vile. She exempliied in marked degree
the truth of the Scripture adage that those
who have friends must show themselves
friendly. Her sunny temperament and
beautiful Christian character were an inspi-
ration to all who knew her.
She was the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
T. l.. Ranville, and had lived in Bellows
Falls practically all of her life. She
graduated from the Bellows Falls high
school with the class of 1895, and had just
passed her 2lst birthday. That one SO
young, SO lovable and Of such promise Of
usefulness should be taken at the very
threshold of young ladyhood seems pity,
yet her friends recognize the great truth that
the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away,
and bow to His will. The aged parents
of the deceased have the sincere sympathy
of the community in their sad bereave.
ment.
The funeral will be from the Baptist
church Friday forenoon at 10 o'clock.

LITTLE THINGS.

One day little acorn dropped
Down from its native tree,
And helpless lay upon the earth,
A tiny thing to see.
And looking up in sad surprise
To where it once did grow,
1t said: "'Tis over now with mel
What can an acorn do?" 49,.
Eut Mother Earth, to comfort II. 2
Spoke softly, as II lay, N
And turning Ger, It fell asleep. fAH
Its sorrow soothed away. n
Then gently Ger it's little bed Vt"
She spread quilt of mold,
And there 1t slept through autumn rainl
And SHOWS of winter cold.
But when the sun with cheering rays
Told of the warm, bright spring,
And Nature said to Mother Earth:
Come; now your treasures bring!"
The acorn heard the flowers talk,
And ope'd it's eyes to see,
And stretching out, 1t cracked it's shell,
And grew into a tree.
There, sheltered in the forest shade,
In stately pride to stand,
A noble oak-as granada tree
AS grows in all the land!
Oh. children! heed these little things,
Whatever they may be;
Remember-little boys make men!
An acorn makes q tree.

How Any Bright Boy Can Mako Small
Double Runner.
Every real boy likes coasting. It
is very healthy and exciting amuse-
ment, and if proper care is taken it is
not dangerous.
A double-runner should be at least
five feet long, and strong enough to
carry two or three boys comfortably.
Any boy who has few simple tools
and a fair amount of common-sense
can make one If he follows these direc-
tions. Well-seasoned pine will do very
well, but some harder wood, as oak or
black walnut, would make a somewhat
