are laying all sorts of plans for the flu

the plan to down Tom Reed.
OF course, in the house of representa-
tives there are $50 statesmen, each pos
sessed of Individual ambition. Every
one of them can see innumerab!e CO.
gent reasons why he should some day
become president; and every one OF
them wonders why the people cannot
see il, too.
Well, Tom Reed is in the WY of all
of these men; that Is, Of his owu party.
lie heStrides the house like q huge
colossus; and nearly all OF the others
fear him. Besides, he is a natural lead
er, and even the most dissatisfied and
ambitious of them will freely admit
that fact. Nevertheless, he is a cold
blooded and almost brutal leader-that
is, in their opinion, because he says
mo so often, and so emphatically.
During the recent political campaign
Tom Reed sulked in his tent. He did
rot 60 forth to make speeches, to help
his colleagues to reelection. lie con-
tented himself with making his calling
and election sure. and listened not INTO
the callings Of those who desired and
needed his aid. For this, principally,
they are sore and d~isgruntlel. They
don't like Tom Reed.
In a cloak room this afternoon the
anti-Reed men were discussing the SIT
uation, They concluded that they
must first unite upon some strong man
in place Of Reed; and then proceed to
make their combinations, having IN
view the proper geographical distribu
tion of the other ofiices-the positions

NEWSPAPER AND PATRON.

For Worth has organized n board of
trade that is ~devoting it's energies and
attention to the public welfare CLAUSE"
as il affects the Panther City. Re-
Gently the board considered a resolution
declaring that Fort Worth was in need
of newspapers"
A Fort Worth. business man, COM
rlenting on this resolution. makes the
target ring out the announcement that
he is a crack shot, in these timely and
unanswerable presentations of fact,
business and philosophy:
The Register is a good morning pa
Fer and The Mail-Telegram the best
afternoon paper south of St. Louis.
Neither of them receive the patronage
they deserve. If our business men
want better papers let them give a
more generous patronage. Most news
paper managers have great pride Of
business and spend all of their income,
and many of them more. in the i'm
provement of their papers. The non
ey spent in advertising in papers out
side of the city, by some of the best
firms in the city, greatly exceeds the
patronage they bestow on the local
press.
Every business man should own
some space, no matter how limited, in
his local paper. 1t speaks for the town,
shows UP it's business; tells the world
what We nave mere. IS AT lnUeX OF the
city'S prominence.
Every dollar is, and always will be,
expended in greater facilities for gath
ering and disseminating news. Every
one of them do their part in all public
matters, and more, toe. in proportion
to their means. If you want good pa

ton of that subject"

have that, like bright 5evel-edged

Importance, commercial energy, indus

ty of the community, they do not de-
serve and cannot support other news
papers.
T The Post admits it's success due to
the generous support of it's domicile
community and has demonstrated in
it's career just whta this level-headed
Fort Worth business man has declar-
ed, viz: That with the means for i'm
~provement submitted by its patrons it
has never neglected to so employ them.
This is the experience of every up-to-

New Route for Isthmean canal.

New Route for Isthmean Canal.
The staff correspondent of The Chi
cago Record sends the following TO his
paper from Kingston. jamaica:
The United States gunboat Scorpion,
Lieutenant Commander Nathan Sar-
gent, arrived in Kingston today, en-
route for Caledonia bay. on the north
ern coast Of Colombia. The Scorpion
carries a surveying party ordered by
the United States government TO in
quire into thefeasibility of a third pro-
posed route for an isthmian canal,
crossing the isthmus o. Darien. not at
its narrowest point. but at a point
where rivers and incentations of the
coast are available 10 reduce the
amount of actual excavation required
to cut the neck of and between North
and South America.
The route under investigation starts
at Caledonia bay. on the northern
coast, east Of Colon. avoids the noun
tain crests. ave ses rivers where
available and reaches the Pacific ocean
by means of San Miguel gulf and the
river which flows into it.
/ interviewed the government party
and found its exceedingly
sanguine hat this route will be the
one adopted for American exploitation
The actual distance from Caribbean to
Pacific n~avigable tide water is but thir-
IS-SSNGn Ai1AlGSs DIS AGAINST IOTIy-1Ne at
Panama.
AT both ends of the proposed route
are fine harbors. and. while the country
is as yet UNEMPLOYED. II is believed that
the physical configuraticn will lend it
self to canal cutting. and that the en-
ployment Of the Chucunaque river and
its branches wherever possible will re-
duce the length of the channel TO TWEEN
ty miles.
The party will proceed at once TO
Caledonia bay, where it will enter on
an exhaustive survey. The scheme is
approved by residents of Kingston who
are familiar with the isthmus.
The Caledonia bay route. on the other
hand, is said to have been ~bandone
by De Lesseps, in favor of that between
Panama and Colon, on the ground that
it ran through a noxious swamp, full of
mosquitoes and the attendant malaria
germs, n as deadly a district for resi-
dence on account of serpents and other
tropical pests as because of the ever-
present miaSma.

The Charlotte Observer pays a high
compliment to Colonel Pearson, of the
Morganton Herald. 1t copies an edito-
ria from the last issue 1--WE had marked
it for use before) of hat paper, and
says in handsome compliment and dis
eliminating words of it as fellows:
THE tribute to Jefferson Davis, re-
produced in today's Observes from
The Morganton Herald, is one of the
most elegant ard comprehensive and
yet concise sketches of a character and
a career that we have ever read. 1t is
from the ever able pen of Colonel w. S.
Pearson. 1T shows a grasp of history
and a breadth of erudition that cflroni-
clers like John Richard Green or George
Bancroft might have envied, and a
wealth and beauty of expression THAI
Henry Wattersen may not surpass."
We were impressed wit hthe excel
lence of the Workmanship, the felicity
of it's language, and the strength of it's
portrayal Of the great leader in the
great war. 1t is not often in a North
Carolina newspaper that you meet with
such capital writing. 1t shows some
thing of the spirit and faculty of a true
artist, and there was in it no barren
verbiage current among en-" We do
not know person ally the author of it,
but we are glad that we have among
us, in the journalistic field, a writer of
such force and elegance. We will make
an extract for another department of

When too late we recovered the lost
sheet of the Raleigh Post with the re-
naming list of corporations for two
years. The list numbers 293. Com
panies charging plant, etc, would
swell the list to 800. OF these, the Post
says, 142 were incorporated in 1897 and
1877 in 1898; showing an increase Of %
during the latter year, or over 90 per
cent.
Up to date, for the year 1899, there
have been 1SS interpretations filed with
the secretary Of state, and Secretary
Thompson agrees with The Post that
the number will exceed 200 before the
close of the ear an increase of 33, or
an increase of from 20 to % per cent
over 1898 and of at least go or about 40
per cent over 1897. In manufacturing
the Old North State is indeed forging
to the front. 1t will not be surpassed
by any southern state in the efforts
to develop and prosper. We shall re-
joice when we shall know that the basis
of all substantial and permanent pros

and remunerative.

A WONDERFUL WILKES STONE.


A recent issue of the North Carolina
Baptist, published at Fayetteville, con-
tains h following from Major ]. H,
FOote, Of Wilkes, who is known person
ally or by reputation to many of The
Landmarks readers: -
I nave in my possession quite a puZ-
zle for mineralogists. 1t is this-a stone
which appears to be an old Indian war
club or Ratchet in shape. nine inches
in length and about fou inches broad
at the edge, rounding off to a point at
h other end, perfectly smooth and
black, weighing two pounds. But here
comes the mystery: l first tied a cot
ton thread around the stone and plac-
ed it in a hot fire, covered with live
Goals, and after remaining in the fire
for a considerable time, taking it
while the stone was at great heat, the
thread was not even singed or scortch-
ed. / then tied a wooden string with
like results. I then took a strip Sof
cotton cloth about one inch broad
~(calico) and tied it round the stone,
placing 1t in a blazing fire, and after
remaining there for ten minutes or
more, it came unsinged or affected
even as 20 the colors in the cloth. /
