"ThE CITY OF CHARLOTTE"
A Credit to the State and Those Hav.
Ing the Affair In Charge.

The North Carolina Rolling EXPOSE
ton, the magnificent car advertising
the great products of State richer in
varied resources than any in the
Union, paid its respects to Henderson
last Monday. This ''palace on wheels"
met with hearty and enthusiastic re-
ception on the part of our people, who
were highly entertained and richly re-
paid for their visit.
The doors were open from 9 O'Clock
IN the morning until 10 at night and the
car was well patronized. The display
was very handsome one and credit
to any State. The exhibit consists of an
elegant display of products, minerals,
ores, gems, facsmiles of the largest
gold nuggets, mounted birds. animals,
fruits. vegeta bles. grains, hard woods,
marbles, building stones, and hundreds
other articles.
The car, which is touring the country,
is under the courteous and efficien
management of Messrs. Ramseur &
Moore, of Charlotte. The enterprise is
credit to all concerned in its perfect
ion. 1t is we'll that the State has
given countenance and aid to an IN
dertaking that will show to some ex-
tent its varied resources and marvellous
possibilities of wealth.
The people Of Henderson were
greatly pleased with the exhibition
and many were not prepared to believe
all these things came from North Caro-
lima. The fact is that many Of our
own people do notrealize the extent of
our own resources and capabilities.
We live in the richest and best State
in the Union but all of US don't know
it.

Two Very Remarkable Shots.

Our couutyman Mr.. J. II. Virgins
may be classed as a successful hunts
man as we'll as fleet runner. He
killed two wild turkeys last Friday at
one shot, while hunting on Anderson
creek. about 9 miles from town.
Those who think Mr.. Virgins is too
old to run are mistaken. Our inform
ant says that after his prize shot he
made tracks for home, jumping fences
and bitches at speed creditable for a
man forty years his Junior. He Sc
cured dogs and captured one of the
turkeys which he had partially crippled.
Mr.. Theo Stallings, of Warren
county, made a similar shot short
time since. bringing down fine pair
of wild turkeys at one fire. His pace
was also quickened homeward, but he
was not reported as making as good
time as our active old friend Mr.. Wig
gins.
Two very remarkable shots. both of
them-two turkeys at one fire.

OLD TINE SOUTHERN HONESTY.

In the "good old days" prior to he
great war between the States there were
men above price, above all selfish con-
siderations, above all standards govern
ing public officials. We recall an il
lustration or two. Judge Robert B.
Gillian, of Oxford, N. c., would not
accept the hospitallt'es ola gentleman,
although dark night was upon him,
he was wearled and his horse was very
tired from a long ride over the worst
road in western North Carolina, and
he was then six miles from the court
house. The reason was the hospitable
gentleman had a case in the court
Judge Gillian was to hold that week.
Captain A. M. Noble told US of a
similar act of delcacy and honor on
the part Of the late Judge Gilmer, OF
Greensboro. They had served in the
war together, and Mr.. Noble pressed
the Judge 10 visit him al his home, and
on Monday he would take him to
Smithfeld the county seat of Johnston
"IlSlC SOuil " dS W NC uClo JuikC
Gilmer asked: "Have you a case III
couri2' Answer, no. care you a wit
ness or juror2' Answer, no. "Then,"
said the conscientious judge, "it will
afford me great pleasure to accept your
kind hosptaities.
These were men, ever, incl OF
| them.
Another Case in :he long ag, Mr..
Badger was The great N)rth Carolina
lawyer and advocate, peerless and
supreme, he was counsel in very i'm
portant suit pending in Warren. After
being employed he eu,s re the cabinet
| of President William Henry Harr son
in 1871, as secretary of the navy. He
retired from the case, as he held that
no cabinet Office! had a rrgh' to be
practlclng in The courts Of his State.

SIGNS OF THRIFT IN THE SOUTH

NUNS OF THRIFT IN THE SOUTH
There is manifest throughout tn,
South at this time, in spite of the de
preston which prevails elsewhere, dis
tinct signs of industrial and com
mercial growth. This happy condition
OF things is due in par, 10 the wide
awake and en,erprising spin, OF gu!
people and in par, to the varied and
exhaustless resources with which nature
has endowed our soil.
The Coastifuh on has already called
the attention OF its readers 10 the graf.
flying review of Southern industrial
conditions which appeared recently N
the New York Journal Of Commerce
In line with this review is the in'erest
ing comment which enc Of tn s.sff
correspondents of the Chicago Ref0,a
makes upon recent and prospective de
velopment in the S,uth. says the
staff correspondent:
A boom in railroad building seems
to have struck the Southern States.
The indications are that the year 1898
will be notable for the largest increase
of mileage South Of the Potomac and
Ohio rivers and more track than will
be built in the rest Of the United States
and Canada. Down below Mason aud
Dlxon's line the surveyors, graders and
track layers are very numerous
Wherever you 60 there are gangs O.
men with triangle and sextant running
lines through plain and valley. over
hills and across rivers. while closely
following them are graders, track lay.
ers and bridge builders. A conserva
tive estimate promises 5000 miles oil
new track, which in 80 per cent. more
than was constructed in the entire
country last year and four times as
much as was built in the South. This
activity is not confined to any particu.
lar section. but includes all the States
South of Mason aud Dixon's line.
Of course the South may not make
good during the present year the pre-
dictions of the staff correspondent
To do this she must exceed by 1900
miles the record made by the entire
country during the past year, and she
must exceed her own record by 2,Ioo
miles. But who can limit the enter
prise Of this section Before the
present year expires the South may
have considerably eclipsed the figure!
cited by the staff correspondent be
sides making her activities strongly
felt in other directions.
While it may SAVIOR Of enthusiasm te
declare that in latent possibilities the
South is unsurpassed by any other sec
ton of the country. yet such is unde
niably and absolutely true. Slowl,
but surely capital is beginning t(
realize this fact, and 10 improve its op
portunities for investment in this sec
ton. Within the next few years vas,
changes are destined to occur in tn
commercial and industrial status o
the South. Everything seems to poin
clearly in this direction; and cheereC
by the prospect which the future hold
out to US let our people put thei
shoulders together and do all Within
their power to make the prospect real

The Seaboard Air Line Scores Anoth.
er Point.

The Seaboard Air Line has for a
long time contended that as it could
not get its sleepers South of Atlanta
and North of Washington. while other
lines were allowed a differential rate.
This matter was taken up recently with
the Southeastern Passenger Assocla-
ton, the Trunk Line Association and
the Association of Virginia and the
Carolinas and the Seaboard Air Line %
claim for differentials was allowed.
The tariffs just published by the
above associations show standard rates
by all lines between the North and
South, as we'll as the differential rate
via the Seaboard Air Line, which rate
is 50 less than that shown by any
other lines. The standard rate be-
tween New York and Atlanta is $24;
the differential rate via the Seaboard
Air Line is s2l, the rate between
Washington and Atlanta is sl7.4O, the
dlfterential rate via the Seaboard Air
Line is sl4.5O. This differential APP
plies between all important cities in
the Southeastern Passenger Associa-
TONS territory. the Trunk Line Asso-
citation territory.
The Seaboard Air Line now has the
matter up with the New England Pas
senger Association. looking to the
publishing of these differential rates in
their tariffs. AS soon as this is grant
ed it is understood that the Seaboard
Air Line will then 60 to the Mississippi
Passenger Association with a request
that they publish like rates from their
territory. When this is done the Sea-
board Air Line will have differental

A Magazine Which Builds Houses

The readers OF The Ladies' Home Journal
are about as responsive a clientele as any
magazine possesses. A bout six months
ago the Philadelphia magazine started
to publish series of practical architect
ural plans showing how artistic houses
could be built at moderate cost. 1t en-
ployed special architect, and his work
was certainly artistic. Besides the plans
it agreed to furnish complete specfica-
tons of each house at q minimum cost
Thousands of people liked the plans
given and the series has been a great
success for the magazine. This spring
the building OF over five hundred houses,
varying in cost from 81, 500 to 81 900
each, will be started in different parts of
the country by Journal readers, in adj
dition to over one hundred other houses
which have alyeady been built.
