:. Prophecies That Came True. .
No part Of the west will contribute
greater increase to the volume Of general
business in coming years than the ter
ritory along the 500. The vast resources
of it's country are just being realized on
by the producer. An aggressive 1mmigra-
tion and industrial policy on the part of
the road is populating its country with
industrious people. Opportuntty's torch Is
flaming bright along the entire system
from Portal on the prairie where the
union jack salutes the stars and stripes
TO Sault Ste. Marie where new enterprises
3ostered by American capital and brains
are gradually building what is to be one
9of the greatest collections of Industries
IN the world. Nature was generous to the
country along the 500. The men who Laid
out the line may have realized this in
cart. Some prophetic genius may have

its fight for industrial greatness. But no
one believed that it would come as quick
and with the rushing force that it has.
The 500 is coming into it's own. It runs
no longer through a barren country in
the west nor through wilderness Of for
est in the east. All is becoming produc-
tive and the 500 is taking the place des-:
tined for it from the start among the
first class railway properties of the coun-
try. Minneapolis reaps big profit, from
3 these results. Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesota and North and South Dakota
steadily contribute products to this mar
ket and in turn are steady buyers here.

THE GOOD ROADS TRAIN
Is EXCITING GREAT INTEREST
Georgia and South Carolina Enthusiastic
Great Crowds Expected in Raleigh
When Train Arrives.

Filled with enthusiasm about the worl-
of the Good Roads Train" Mr.. A. B.
Andrews, Jr., returned from Augusta
yesterday, where he had been to see the
work on roads being done there this
week.
Speaking of the interest shown in
Georgia, he says that Governor Gambler,
of that State and Governor McSweeny,
of South Carolina, were to deliver ad-
dresses of welcome on Wednesday, but
that Governor McSwceny could not reach
Augusta till Thursday, when he came
with two hundred Of the members of the
South Carolina Legislature.
Addresses of welcome were made by
members of the council for the city and
by Mr.. w T. Gary. of the House of Rep
resentatives, for the county of Richmond.
The Congress is being presided over by
Cen NJ c. Butler, ex-senator of South
Carolina.
Addresses were made by President w.
H. Moore, of the Good Roads Association;
Mr. A. Hayes the representative of the
Southern Railway with the train. and by
Col. Edwin B. Hay, prominent lawyer
of Washington, and Past Grand Exalted
Ruler of the Elks, who is the guest of
the Augusta Elks.
Another of the prominent men who
spoke was Hon. Martin Dodge. who is in
charge of the public road inquiries in the
United States Agricultural Department.
Mr. Dodge is from Ohio, and is the gen
tleman who declined to vote for himself.
when he opposed Mark Hanna for the
United States Senate in 1897, when Han.
ma was elected by one vote after a hard.
fight. Mr. Dodge will be with the party
when it reaches Raleigh and will speak
here.
Mr.. Andrews saw some of the work be-
ing done on the roads at Augusta, and
tells of the rapid work of an elevating
grader, that can cxcavacate and lift a.
cubic yard of dirt, one load, in Is see
onds, though the work done in Augusta
minute.
There is great interest in Georgia over
the work being done by the Good Roads
Train. and the interest has already ex-
tended to South Carolina, this being
shown by the fact that the Legislature of
that State has gone almost in a body to
Augusta to see what is being done al
though the train goes to Columbia in
short time. "t
With all this interest shown in Georgia
and South Carolina, it is but natural to
expect great crowd in Raleigh during
the week the train is here. Invitations
have been scattered over the State and
the outlook for great gathering here
is excellent.

Mr.. W. ID Carmichael, Jr., of Durham,
secretary and treasurer of the Teach
er's Assembly, who returned home yes
terday, speaking of the Assembly said
we shall have great meeting of the
Assembly this year. The meeting of the
executive committee last evening at the
1arborough was most enthusiastic. We
launched the work of the year in a very
satisfactory manner. The program was
discussed in general way and left with
certain suggestions from the executive
committee, in the hands of a special
program committee. 1t was fully deter
mined, however, that the interest and
needs of the country schools, the
schools which serve the great masses of
the people. should receive the greatest
consideration in arranging the program.
The country school will be the leading
feature of the meeting in June. The
other great phases of education will not,
however, be neglected in the least. 1t
was decided that the teachers who cannot
attend the Assembly can become mem
EerS by paying membership fee or one
dollar, which will entitle them to the
