ions into the distant recesses of the
past there is not single ray that
shoots into the future. Not one step
have we taken toward the solution of
the mystery of life. That remains
today as dark and unfathomablc as 1T
did ten thousand years ago.
Great inventions, great discoveries,
brilliant exploits, noble careers and
the raising of humanity have'been the
result of mans work during this cen
fury. Great and manifold are the
works of man. He has done much
during this century for humanity, to
gain for it liberty, life and prosperity.
And let us hope that he will do much
more in the future.
1t is not long, only few months,
till this the greatest and grandest
century. of modern times will close.
Every intelligent person should not
forget to pay due respect and honor to
the expiring century which has been
the most progressive that this world
has ever known. Also we should not
forget the greatness Of the new for 1t

Then from the wooden pillow to the
steam pillow Of today, it would take a
man nearly three weeks to pillow 40
acres; today three men with the aid
of the steam pillow can pillow 1T in one
day. Submarine navigation and fly
ing machines have been successful to
some extent, but the problem is not
thoroughly solved as yet.
Electricity is now being used to the
great benefit of mankind. The mighty
Niagara has been harnessed by man
and forced to furnish electricity for
mans benefit. Electricity delivers
messages, draws cars, conducts exc
cutions, propels machinery, light the
streets of thousands of cities. 1t is
also being generated by the ebbing of
the tide Of the ocean and the end of
its development is not at hand. The
impossible has surely been accom-
plished, Thomas A. Edison has the
homo: Of doing more to promote the
use of electricity than any other man.
Mankind is today more temperate,
more intelligent, more generous, more
Ingenious, more respectful, more
obedient, more charitable, less radi-
cal on religion, more honorable In war
more peaceful, better educated, cares
more for life and the good things that
it sets forth on its table. He looks
more to the future and less to the
past than ever before since the dawn
OF his existence. Man has made the
fire his steed, the lightning his mes
senger, the sea his pathways, the
winds his ministers. He has decend-
ed into the bowels Of the earth and
walked in safety On the bottom o.
the sea. He has raised his head
above the clouds a. made the impal-
pable air his resting place.
He has tried to analyze the stars,
count the consultations and weigh

astounding speed that, breathless, we
have reached a moment when it seems

nineteenth century. A large per cent
of the most intelligent and useful
men of the worlds history has either
lived or died during this period.
What has man accomplished within
this lime? He has built railroads,
constructed ocean telegraphy, edu-
Gated the generations and enlighten-
ed to certain extent the heather
nations, and consequently brought
humanity to a higher plane OF civili-
zation. Many more great and won
derful things have been accomplished.
The wonderful development of In
venton has achieved great success
during this century Compare the
eighteenth century to this. Then
could be seen stare coaches. sailing
ships, flint lock. There could be seen
at the postotiice the receiver of mail
paying postage.
Out in the rural districts where
agriculture was carried on could be
seen the sickle and fail the wooden
pillow. Slowly and with much manual
labor the farmer toiled to produce a
crop and till a few acres of land. The
short days and long evenings could
not be used for intellectual advance
meut, but Tor crude manufacture of
the things needed at home and for
preparing the crop for market. The
isolated farms not only PRODUCED the
raw material but manufactured and
supplied the few simple wants OF the
inhabitants.
The farms then were small and the
farmers life was full of hard labor.
Such things as photography, type
writing. shorthand and many scien-
tific inventions and devices were IN
known.
Photography, which was then un-
known, has reached such degree of
perfection as to enable mediocrity at
present to surpass the genius of that
time in practical results. With the
advantage OF quick communication
and business relations came the de-
mand for quick recording OF business
transactions and shorthand and type
writing came into general use.
The small sailing frigate with its
armament of short range cannon has
been superseded by the modern steel
battleship whose effective range is
several miles, and its crew protected

The battle OF the Merrimac and the

era in the modern naval warfare and

THE STATE

Charlotte Observer: Waynesville,
April 24.-The democratic campaign
tour is gaining votes for the amend
ment and for the state ticket. Many
republicans from the rank and file Of
h party are going out to near the
speeches and what amounts to more
are seeking the acquaintance of the
candidates with an earnest desire to
obtain a correct view Of the question
before the people. At Murphey last
Saturday, quite a number Of regular
republicans heard the candidates speak
n met them at the hotels. Over a
Dozen, whose names might be given.
declared themselves in favor of the
amendment. The same was true at
BrySon City and HaySville.-Ashe-
Vile, April 24.-The democratic rally
at Waynesyille today was the best yet
held. The crowd was most enthusi-
aStic, the speeches in the best spirit
and most forceful and convincing, the
whole town was wild with joy at the
coming Of the candidates. Pure white
flags, embiematic of white supremacy,
foated on all the streets and in many
front yards. The people of the town
n the surrounding country turned
GU in large numbers to hear the speak
ers. Mr.. Grimes made his best speech
today. Before the campaign is over
he will be a speaker of great power.
Each day force is added to his speech.
Mr.. Lacy and Mr.. Rogers simply an
nounced themselves in very short, but
attractive talks All the laboring peo-
pie like Mr.. Lacy. They almost worship
him. The force of Mr.. Aycock as a
political speaker and as a man of splen-
did character has settled in every part
of North Carolina, and at the mere
mention of his name the people &c
wild with enthusiasm. So it was here
today. This morning while the process
