THE ENGINEERS STORY.

Well, yes, It's hair-curlin' story

AS we rounded a curve on the mountain,
Full sixty an hour. l will swear,
Jest ahead was sight that with blood
freezin' fright
Would have raised stuffed buffalo's
hair!
The bridge over Ute Creek was burnin',
The flames shootin' up in their glee.
My, God how they cleaned in the air,

Like fiery -tongued imps on a spreel

On the floor of the bedroom; my wife

TnE OLD HYMNS.

We never needed einoin books in them

The words-the tunes Of every one the

We didn't have no trumpets then-no

We ONLY SANG to praise the lord 'from
whom all blessings fiow."
An SO, love the old hymns, and when

A BRANCH LINE TO WINSTON.
The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad TO
Extend It's Lines.
winston Journal.)


The Atlantic Coast Line Railway
system which has recently acquired con-
troll of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Val
ley Railway, is one of the richest corpo-
rations in the South. They VIII begin
at once to make extensive improve
-ments on the G. f. and Y. v, which
leads a prominent gentleman to remark
that an attempt should be made to get
the Coast Line to come by Winston.
They could build a branch line from
Stokesdale TO Rural Hall by way of
Winston at very little cost. 1t would
be a valuable feeder to the main line
and of untold advantage to Winston.
The Coast line expects to extend their
lines from Mt Airy into the coal feds
of Virginia, there connecting with the
Western lines, thus giving them a thor
ough line from the coal fields and the
great West to the Atlantic Seaboard.
Winston should be up and doing and not
let this valuable opportunity to get on
a through trunk line of railway from
the West to the seacoast slip by. We
hope the Chamber of Commerce will
take hold of the matter and try to get
the Coast Line people to come here
and view the lay of the land and we are
sure they will find it to their advan-
tage to build branch line to our city

INSTRUCTIONS OF THE STATE
DEPARTMENT.

The last mail aid not, so far as we
can learn, bring the text of the opinion
o. the State department in the matter
of Portuguese Immigrants who aban-
=. doned the transport in Madeira.
Whether or not the report given in the
San Francisco Bulletin, that the State
department has in so many words de-
clared the Hawaiian labor contract
laws are in full force and effect is true,
is still unknown. 1t is probably true
that the Department corrected Consul
Jones who had informed the Portu-
guese immigrants that assisted immi-
grafton was illegal in Hawaii, and that
their labor contracts were void. This
as a clear proposition provided the Con-
stitution does not cover these Islands.
If the Constitution does, there comes
with it the requirement for the uni
formity of laws.
If assisted immigration is lawful in
Hawaii, under the Federal Constitu-
ton, and at the same time, it is I'M
lawful in the States, then it follows
that Congress has the power to dis
criminate against sections of the coun-
try in the making of laws. If Con-
gress may discriminate in one case it
may in another If it may discrim-
mate, under the Constitution, in the
matter Of immigration, it may discrim-
mate in the matter of labor Ii may
with such powers, entirely forbid the
use of Asiatic labor in Hawaii, or con-
fine it to American born citizens.
The claim is a perilous one. that the
Constitution covers Hawaii, at a time
when the plantations are in extreme
need of laborers, and laborers can only
be obtained by measures which are
illegal on the Mainland To secure the |
Federal Constitution and at the same
time refuse the Federal laws, is rash |
skating on thin ice, if we had the |
power to take this course.
If the dispatch published in the San |
Francisco Bulletin is correct, the State |
department appears to have taken the |
ground that Congress must, in due
form, extend the Constitution to these |
Islands This will be done, under the |
formal contract of annexation made by I
the Newlands' resolution, which makes |
Hawaii an integral part of the national !
territory.

SHAKESPEARE'S SHYLOCK.

Shakespeare never saw a Jew, SAYS
Rev. H. l. Elkins. In 1890 the Jews of
England, some 5000. were banished.
1t was in the time of Cromwell, about
the year 1865, that some Jews ware al
lowed TO settle in Oxford and London.
Now Shakespeare died in 1916 What
is the conclusion? The great master
mind, who knew how TO play so we'll
on the heartstrings of humanity. could
not have drawn the picture OF Shylock
from personal knowledge. In fact,
criticism, both historical and literary.
shows that while the characters are
drawn true 10 life, the Bard of Avon
allowed himself TO be prejudiced by po-
pular notions in making death dealing
avarice and a Jew synonymous terms.
The allusion by Shakespeare TO differ
ent Biblical stories is proof positive
that he had taken deep draughts from
the we'll of Biblical inspiration, and
yet he seems to have overlooked the
words Of Leviticus xix, %, and xxi, 10,
where Jews are forbidden to make any
inciSions or cuts on the flesh or bodies
Moreover, the great writer seems to
have also overlooked the other we'll
known fact that it was not Jewish law,
but Roman, which commanded the
aking of flesh when the debtor could
not pay, and history records where
Roman debtor was cut to pieces by his
creditors.

THE ADMIRAL'S RECEPTION.

Admiral Dewey gradually approaches
is before him. 1t will not be 1.-The
welcome with bloody hands to
hospitable graves, but the genuine well
come of the people who are proud of
his victory over the Spaniards. But
before him is the untried wilderness of
speech making. Many heroes, who
never lose their courses even in night
battles upon the sea, are lost in the
dark woods of general remarks, and
fall into the pit holes of unfortunate
expressions. His loving countrymen
will expect that the great commander
will invent some memorable phrase
which will be one of the golden coins
of literature. The admiral knows their
wishes and hopes to comply with them.
The eye that was lidless, during the
elliptical war dance of death in Manila
bay, closes and YEARLY opens during
the night hours, as the Olympia
plunges into the stubborn western sea,
and the hour approaches when the
chairman of the first great dinner will
arise, and announce that Admiral
Dewey will please respond
The loving cup which is to be pres
ented to the Admiral is said to be the
largest in existence, and has capacity
for fifteen gallons of the cheerful"
If there is any occasion which would
justify swallowing the entire con-
tents of the massive cup, it is the one
which forces the Soaking to rise, and
spin a rhetorical yarn to his enthusiast
tic fellow citizens who are designated
in marine literature as Land lubbers.'
Even though he ..shivers his timbers'
on the occasion, the deed in Manila
bay so quickly and we'll done, the
deed that wins the prize will stand
him best and be the short words of
the song which his countrymen will
always sing.
