be made for tickets from points on his

We expect the low rate will attract large

Senator Morgan's attack upon Gear
Reed from the floor of the senate was
unprecedented, but many think it was
deserved. He started by saying that
the action of the ruler Of the house in
working through what has several
times been referred to on the floor of
the house as the clog Combine" for
public building legislation was "a
fraud and an outrage" and concluded
by saying: 81 want to protest against
that sort of legislation. l know where

comes from. L know the origin of that

it. His will and pleasure was to make

Some Comforting Fashion Facts.

Almost any length of outside wrap is
in fashion.
Street skirts are going to be shorter.
Tight sleeves make the getting on
and off of heavy coats an easy matter.
Fashionable fur turbans are stylish,
warm and becoming.
Wells are going out of fashion, agood
thing for the eyes and the pocketbook.
The fashionable stout gloves and
shoes are decided economy.
All the newest and best underwear is
lightweight.
In spite of the craze for tight-fitting
basques, tiny an@mic waists are as I'M
fashionable as ever.
Leather CATERS are worn in place of
cloth for cold days.
Old gowns, with big sleeves and full
skirts, can easily be cut down to the
dimenaions Of modern styles. From

The Furnace.

There have been all sorts of wild ru.
mors floating around about the Carne-
gle Furnace, all tending to create the
impression that the furnace was about
to close down. Nothing could be far
Their from the truth. On account of O
slight misunderstanding last week be-
tween the furnace company and the
Cranberry Iron and Coal company, the
shipment of iron was stopped for two
days, but the difficulties have been ad-
justed and the ore is being shipped
regularly.
The furnace people are opening mines
at Roam Mountain and have mined
more than 1000 tons of ore and are now
turning out more than 100 tons day,
and what is of more Importance, it is
the highest grade of magnetic ore that
has ever been found in the Cranberry
region. When the mine was first open
ed, it looked like a mistake had been
made and that no ore would be found,
but the more they explored the more
ore they discovered and they now have
all the ore in sight they could desire
and they will double their output at
once.
The high waters last Saturday night
caused some damage to two trestles on
the narrow gauge road running to the
mine, but Capt. J. F. Huddle put
gang of men to work early Monday
morning to repair the damage.
The changes in the management will
make no difference in the operation of
the furnace, unless for the better. The
price of iron is continually advancing
and they can sell all they manufacture
at nice profit.

In refusing to take up the resolution
unanimously reported from the Judici-
airy committee, declaring that the four
members of the house who accepted
army commissions, thereby forfeited
their seats in congress, the house
merely accepted an opportunity to pay
Gen. Joseph Wheeler a high compli-
ment, by lodging a vote that must
have been in favor of the resolution
had it been taken. Representative
Bailey, however, declined 20 see it in
that light and formally announced that
as the democrats had declined to fol-
low his leadership in enforcing a plain
clause of the constitution, he would
not be candidate for that leadership
in the next congress.

Balance-sheets are unhappily scarce
among farmers; the few that are taken
are hard to get at; for these reasons the
one presented by Mr.. Frank Fl. Spear
man in the Review of Reviews for
March is of especial interest. As Mr..
Spearman says, at is from paper
farm; it is not paper balance; nor is it
a paper farmer who makes the showing
1t lis what no American review has ever
before presented to its readers-an
actual glimpse at the books and work
ings of model American farm. This
farm, located in the State of lowe, con-
tains 5000 acres, and its business is to
produce corn. :" otonly does Mr.. Spear
man disclose the business working OF
this great corn farm, but his article also
gives an insight into the business of
wheat-growing on a large scale in the
Red River Valley of North Dakota.

DIR. Hoss, the brainy editor of the
Nashville Christian Advocate, makes a
point in discussing Kipling's latest po-
EN- that may not have been caught
heretofore by some politicians in this
country. He gives it this way:
''Mr. Rudyard Kipling's new phrase,
the white mans burden, is likely to be-
come a rather permanent addition to
current forms of speech. What he
means cy it is the effective cotrol of the
color ed rabe. He does not doubt for a
moment that such control, even when
it requires the use Of force, is the alto
gether proper thing. IT is paradoxical
fact thUt many Of our northern friends
who have been shouting themselves
hoarse in condemnation of the 'Missis-
sippi plan for reaching this end are
now the loudest advocates of the sub
jugation of the Philippines. We cannat
just see why white men have right to
govern 100000 people in Luzon and
the adjacent islands at the point of the
bayonet, and yet have no right to set
up an educational test for the purpose
of preventing an American common
wealth from falling into the hands Of
ncgros who are only three or four
generations removed from the iungles
of Africa. Will some one be so good as
to enlighten us? We are ready to be
instructed bya competent teacher. -

A special from Washington says:
President Mckinley has decided not to
avail himself of the authority granted
by the compromise bill to organize the
provisional army of 1000 volunteers.
He thinks it is not necessary after the
present volunteer forces have been
mustered out to have more than 65, 900
men allowed for regular army until
July |, 1901. 1t is also his purpose to
expedite the withdrawal of volunteers
from Cuba and the Philippines as rap
idly as possible and muster them out.
All volunteers are to be brought home
from Cuba without delay and those in
the Philippines will be brought home
as soon as regulars can be sent out to
take their places.

New Railroad Project.
BakersYille Mirror.

Bakersville Mirror.
1t will be gratifying to many of the
people of Mitchell county to know that
work has been resumed on the Gran
berry and Pineola railroad.
Now that all litigations have been
settled, and the company being-no Ion
ger embarrassed by law suits, the work
will be rapidly pushed forward until
the road is connected. In addition to
the leveling up Of the road and filing
in washouts caused by the heavy rains
during the past eight or ten months,
several trestles are to be built and 9TH
er improvements made.
When completed sthis road will be a
great convenience to the people in that
part OF the county. 1t is now proving
blessing by giving the laboring class
employment.
There is some talk of making this
road a broad gauge, and extending it
from Cranberry to Collettsville.
The following from the Newton En-
terprise partly discloses the plans Of
the management of this proposed I'M
dertaking: 1--WE understand that the
plan is to build broad gauge road
across the mountains from Collects
vile to Cranberry, distance of about
90 miles, and change the branch mar
row gauge line from there to Lenoir,
then make arrangements with the Caro-
lima & Northwestern company to change
the gauge of their road to the standard
gauge to Lincolton and use the Caro-
lima Central from Lincolnton to Will
mington. This would make a great
railroad, and its building this summer
would put out great deal of money
along the line. The fact that General
Hoke is at the head OF the movement
leaves little doubt of its success"
In connection with this last named
undertaking a bill has been passed by
the legislature to incorporate the East
Tennessee & Western North Carolina
railroad, which is the same line that
the Enterprise refers to. Such road
would indeed be a great blessing to the
people of East Tennessee and this sec
ton of North Carolina. The Southern
railway would no longer have a mo-
nopoly across the line, as at present.
Let this new road be built by all
means.
