tied, prehaps short account of
our wagon trip may interest some
Of your readers especially those
who looked for us back in "a day
or two" thinking 1--WE would get
enough Of it by that time" One
of our good Dr's did see us nearly
out of Jimtown, but there we part
ed company.
When we started Wednesday
morning Oct. II our first objective
point was the far famed Jackson
Springs which we reached that
evening. We found the hotel clos
ed, in fact the place was nearly
deserted, but as we were indepen
dent of hotels we refreshed our
selves at the spring and moved on.
Let me say here If you want to see

don't be in a hurry to get any
where; trip by rail gives you lit
tie idea OF the places through which
you are passing and if you are go
ing where hotels are not plenty
take your sleeping and kitchen
along with you. You will find it
very handy if night overtakes you
several miles from anywhere. If
you want any points for such a
trip, ask the man who superintend-
ed our expedition, he can tell you
all yau need to know.
Our second day found us at
Clarks Mills where one OF our par
ty who is famed for her ability to
get up a headache on short notice
felt it incumbent upon her to do
so at this point, and as it began to
rain we accepted the hospitality of
a farm house and were most kind
ly entertained until we could move
on. Saturday afternoon the rain
ceased, the head was better and
we drove on to Candor where we
spent the Sabbath, and attended
service in the Methodist church.
Monday morning found us en- route
for High Point via Biscoe, ASHORE,

SPANISH ASPIRATIONS.

The Spanish government has sane
toned a congress OF the Central and
South American republics. TO be held
In Madrid. The object is to establish
closer trade relations between the
spanlsh-speaking nations. It seems a
"spanlsh-Amerlcan Union" has been
formed, ostensibly for commercial pur-
poses, but Il Is believed the associa-
thlon IS not entirely dlslnterested as to
politics. Spain Is naturally bidding
for support In spanish-America, and 1t
win be interesting TO notice 90 what
extent spanish-Americans are willing
to respond 20 the call made upon them.
There Is to be held a pan-American con-
gress next year In Mexico VIM the
Madrid congress draw a larger crowd
than the Mexican assembly?
There can be no doubt that the best
interests Of the American republics are
conferred in this country, and not In
Spain. stul It IS possible that rela-
tioushlp may assert itself in this mat
ter Were Il possible for Spain TO es.
jablish special trade relations with
spanlsh-America. that country would
derive more benefit from a lost empire
than from one over which she held
tyrannical sway.
