they must work for II, and each one
must do mans work, and united,
harmonious action must be the
watchword. The good things Of this
life are not gathered in without a
price. It is seldom we ever honestly
secure anything of real value
without paying for 1t. We may think
we do, but wait, natures laws are
never disregarded with impunity.
The desire for metallic wealth ia
the one great incentive to all prog
ress, and no man, I care not what
his profession, business or calling
in life may be, can truthfully say,
~ am not engaged in mining, and
am therefore not interested In its
success" or the success Of any
institution organized In Its interests.
You are interested, vitality interested.
Was It not the discovery and de.
velopment of the wonderful mineral
wealth of the Black Hills OF South
Dakota that established every bust
ness house, every bank, every hotel
and every railroad now located In
Deadwood and Lead! What would
become of these industries, and what
would become Of many Of you, II
these hills were to refuse longer to
produce their mineral wealth?
In this twentieth century we must
respond, and respond actively and
cherfullly, to the government Of
truth In all the activities Of life,
and unless we do, our bewildered
senses and indifferences may cause
US to linger long, gazing at lost
oportunities, with nothing before us
but a gathering darkness, with the
light Of truth shining full In our
faces. We must live In the now,
and live in II at our very best;
the work Of the world is done Sy q
few.
1t Was the discovery Of iron and
its uses that made an advance In
civilization practicable for our
ancestors thousands Of years ago. II
was the discovery Of the precious
metals In America that drove the
cloud of the dark ages from Europe
by tho impulse It gave to commerce
and industry, and, still later, It was
the discovery Of gold In California
and Australia that saved the civiliza.
tion Of Europe and the United States
from sinking into . lethargy like
that which preceded the decline
and fall Of the Roman empire.

industry who can supply the means
through the forces of nature to pay
for all this wonderful advancement
Of American enterprise, and the
Black Hills and their surroundings,
Of the great commonwealth Of South
Dakota, can honestly lay claim to
being at least one of these great
American captains Of industry.
The hour for earnest, sober second
thought is here, and, in the light of
positive facts as we see them, ia II
not time, in the interest Of the
people, to treat this great question
Of mining from statesman's and
not a politicians point Of view?
Is 1t not wise, especially at this time
when SO much depends upon the
protection of the rights Of the many
as against the selfish demands Of
a few, that our nations great
industry, mining, should be rcog-
nized, not as the tar bucket hanging
to the tail end of a wagon, but as
the wagon itself, and our representa-.
tives at Washington be advised not
by few, but by all the people, that
1t is their wish that federal
Department. Of mines and mining
be at once created by them, with a
secretary who shall be member Of
the presidents cabinet?
In a short time from now the
American Mining Congress will con-
vene In the cities of Deadwood and
Lead. This organization is aiming
to do for the mining industry Of the
entire country what the agricultural
department at Washington has done
for agriculture, the commercial
museum Of Philadelphia for com.
merce, trade aud manufacture, the
Southern Industrial association for
the progress Of southern advancement; ;
and again, what the manufacturing
interests of America will shortly do
to strengthen and increase their
industry by establishing In the city
Of New York . great permanent
exhibition Of all the manufactured
products Of the United States.
Think Of It, through the products Of
our mines, strengthened by the
enthusiastic interest Of the man.

ducing . revenue nearly ten times
greater than the authorized capitalizs.

1t is a waste of space. Daddy-in-law
Pritchard has issued his orders that SON
in-law Rollins shall be elected in his

IL he elects his son-in-law to his place,

to his grandson, and let the succession
go on in the family, to be held indefi-

The fact that the Republican organiza-

it merits the contempt of good men. The
son-in- law party government is worse

GOOD FARMING IN ROBSON.
That Big County Trots Out Some Pine Farmers
Who Make Fine Crops.

To the Editor: On March "a the News
and Observer gave an account of some
pretty good farming done by Mr.. Geo. w.
Williams on the lands of Mr.. Wyatt,
in Wake county. Now, Robson, whose
last census report says it is the largest
cotton and corn producing county in the
State, and equal to the other counties il
diversified farming, wishes to present a
few facts and figures. In this section
Cred Springs). Mr.. Geo. H. Virgins, with
ten horses, on Col. AZ T. McCallum' s
Wakulla place, raised the following crops
in 1902: 143 bales cotton, averaging sou
pounds each; 1,450 bushels corn, 27J
bushels peas, $50 bushels potatoes, $50
bushels oats, 10 tons forage, 95 gallons
syrup.
Mr. j. C. Thomas, on Mr.. Jno. W. Ora
hams place, with seven horses, raised III
the same year SO bales cotton, averaging
500 pounds each; 500 bushels corn, IS
bushels peac, AIS bushels potatoes, $50

BY comparison, you will find that Robe

WE REAP WHAT WE sow.

1t is as true of a community as of
an individual-''we reap what we sow"
Il legislators let down the bars for easy
divorces, let nobody be surprised when
the courts of justice are converted into
mills to grind out divorces If they tam
per with divorce laws, making more
causes than are recognized in the Word
of God, let them expect shame and con-
fusion and wrong to follow.
The Tarboro Southerner gives con-
crete example of what has resulted from
tinkering with divorce laws. 1t says:
When Judge Brown left Thursday
court only took a recess, as the Judge
was TO return here Friday and hear
an argument or two on some law points.
When he returned he was asked to try
divorce case, Mary Abrams VS.. Henry
Abrams He did so and the divorce was
granted the allegations being abandon
ment and cruelty
THE verdict had not long been rem
dered ere there was an application for
license for the plaintiff to marty. Great
was the astonishment of all concerned
when it became known that under the
recent law on divorce remarrage is not
legal until after five years when the
cause of divorce is abandonment"
! The next Legislature ought to be in
struoted by the people to repeal all di-
vorce laws and allow no divorces except
for the cause named in the Word.

Rural Visitor.
Just before the war began, a promi-
nent orator in Western North Carolina,
OF the so-called "f1re- eating" type, made
a speech. He began with great dignity
and propriety. In front of him on a
table was a pitcher containing whiskey
and water from which as he proceeded
he frequently drank. I'm about one hour, -
says a man who heard him, ''he began
to utter the most terrific personalities
and maledictions" The immortal Vance
followed him in a speech replete with
sense, humor. and every other good
quality" After the speaking Vance said
to the gentleman from whom we have
quoted above, s. is bitter enough by
nature; he is the last man to use liquor.
Liquor has had good deal to do with
all our national troubles. Men on both
sides have said what they never would
had they kept sober"

go IN FOR LITERATURE"

Some years ago California callow
youth who knew little poetry and less
literature, set up as literary critic A
publisher at San Francisco, knowing how
green the egotistic young editor was, sent
him a volume of Millions Paradise Lost"
which. he wrote, had just been printed ;"
The critic reviewed the poem at length,
winding up with statement somewhat
like this: 1.-THE youthful poet is too
ambitious and too obscure. He would
have done better with less lofty theme ="
That incident was recalled by story in
a Pacific coast paper. 1t tells a story of
Byron as a youth at school, or college,
taking part in an essay writing contest
on Jesus turning water into wine. All
the boys worked, while Byron loafed, but
when ths monitor collected the papers,
the lazy genius scrubbed a line, passed
it up, and was awarded the palm When
the professor read THE water saw her
Lord and blushed,'' the other boys all
agreed The only trouble with that story
is that it spoils Crashaw's epigram: THE
conscious water saw her Lord, and
tlushed."
There is need, to quote the poet Coog
Ter that papers on the Pacific slope "go
in for literature"

Among the Railroads.

The Seaboard depot at Southern Pines
has been moved to point on the north
side Of the main track.
The Southern now requires its porter5,
in announcing the stations, to add,
Don't forget your bundles and it will
probably save more trouble than any
thing else, for people by the thousands
iump up and get off at a station and leave
umbrellas, bundles, etc. An old railroad
man told the Greensboro Record that he
thought he could safely say that he had
900 umbrellas gathered up within few
years at one place, all of them left by
passengers.
The Southern Bobbin Works had TO
shut down today, throwing about fifty
people out of work, because car or two
of fuel for the engine could not be de-
livered at the factory, yet the Record is
told that it was herein fact was in
sight of the factory, but the Southern is
so far behind in it's work that the ears
could not be placed on the siding leading
right to the door of the factory. The yard
man says he is days behind in his work.
Recently a lot of lumber for the same
company was delayed week after it had
reached here before it could be delivered.
