North Carolina.
wilmington Messenger.)

After visiting some eleven or twelve
States and residing in three, we
would rather live and labor ard wait
and die IN this beloved North Caro-
lima than in any other State. Pos
sihly elsewhere we might have had
more money and more OF ''recorded
honors" We might possibly even
have been politician and sought the
transitorv honors that fade with the
gathering.
We repeat we love North Carolina.
When the CLOSING scene" comes to
us, as it luust come to all OF the chill
slren OF Adam, and possibly not long
hence, we hope the crumbling tene-
ment in which the immortal spirit
has long dwelt may be laid away by
friendly hands beneath its native
soil. and if some kind hand shall
ever lay flower upon the silent
crave that it shall be done in memory
of one who while in life here ,oyed
sincerely ard in a quiet, unohtrusive,
faithful way tried to serve North
Carolina. As we near the edge OF
the dawn, we have more ardent,
honest wish to be able to say with
the truth Of sincere soul:
Il live for those that love me,
For those that love me true.
| For the heaven that smiles above me,
| And waits my coming, too;
| For the cause that lacks assistance,
! For the wrongs that need resistance,
! For the fut ure in the distance,
| For The good that can do.

SEABOARD'S NEW PURCHASE.
Deal Closed for a Road to Coal Fields
of West Virginia.

WAsruNGToN, Aug. 24.-Negotia-
tions for the purchase of the West
Virginia Central and Pittsburg Rail-
road by the Seaboard Air Line sys-
tenn, which have been pending several
weeks, were, it is believed, practically
completed yesterday. 1t is under
stood to be the purpose of the Sea-
board Air Line to build a connection
from either Norfolk or near Weldon,
n. c., in a Northwesterly direction
to the Southern terminus OF the West
Virginia Central and Pittsburg.
thereby forming a through line from
Atlanta, Ga, to Cumberland. 1t has
also been the intention of the man
ayers of the West Virginia Central to
extend the line West to Pittsburg,
thus paralleling the Baltimore & Ohio
between those two points. By pene-
trating the Pittsburg territory, the
Seaboard system will become power
full factor in controlling traffic from
that central point to all territory OF
the South Atlantic coast.

The Wise Side.
(Charity and Children.l

A wise lesson has been learned BY
the man who has sufficient breadth of
vision to see and properly estimate
the "other side'' Of the questions
that he may be called upon to meet.
Too many people in their zeal and
enthusiasm for what they prefer.
give no ground to the opposition at
all. but assume that their own is the
only teneable position. This is
sure to lead to bitter words and
often to open strife. There is gen
erally another side. 1t may be hard
for partisan to recognize it but it is
there. and the time may come when
we shall be compelled to admit it
was the right side and ours the
wrong. Gladstone. though a mighty
contender for the faith that was in
him, had shifted clear around to the
opposite view from that of his early
training by the time he reached mid
die age. If he had held blindly to
his first position he would have failed
to perform the great mission to the
masses of the people of Great Britain
that gloritied his career. To have q
mind open to the truth. ready to re-
ceive it from any source, and gen
erops and kindly feeling for the man
who holds to the other side, whether
in matters of religion, politics OIL
: neighborhood questions, is thing tt
be craved and cultivated. Let u:
never forget that there is anothe
side and that it is likely as broad an'
! big as he one we see.
