GAS At CASTLE ROCK,
Lots of II Bubbling Out Of the

Natural gas has been discovered at
Castle Rock on the Columbia river near

was down there about a week ago says
that it is bubbling out of the water in
100 places extending clear across the
river. He said: LAS l went along the
river the water was calm and I could
plainly see it bubbing up all around
us and it was escaping fast too. I did
not try to light it myself but others
nave and say it burns readily" The

as yet but that boring has been begun
for gas or oil on the fiat north of

commissioner Cornwell suggested
that half a mile would do as we'll and

said that it would have just as much

Mr.. Abbott said that it would take
from about 1000 to $500 yards of rock
to cover a mile and it would be doing
we'll to put it on at a cost of 81 a yard.
This would make the road cost about
$25OO a mile. He also told the commits
sioners that it would be economy to
have bins to load the rock from. He
stated that the government would
construct them if the county would
furnish the material. This would not

~ GOOD PROVIDENCE y

That was a happy phrase of wise
Senator Cockrell who said that "a
Good Providence would eventually
point the way to solution of the ne
gro question, consistent with the de-
sires of the whites and the interest of
blacks" Nothing more sensible has
been said since Henry Grady's Boston
speech on the negro question.
Abraham Lincoln, not reputed al
ways to entertain orthodox views, said
he saw no solution in the race ques-
ton from human standpoint, but he
had faith that the Ruler of mankind
would work out the problem.
Every solution offered by the wisest
men has been temporary or has failed
utterly. Cockrell, Lincoln and Grady
believed that it would be worked out
in Gods way and in Gods appointed
time, and that man must be patient,
just and tolerant. Does not the high
est wisdom demand the humblest
faith?

AN UNRESTRICTED DELEGATION
TO ST. LOUIS.

There are times when delegates to
national convention should be in
structed, but as a rule the wisest pol
icy for a State to pursue is to elect
able men of known good judgment and
large knowledge of national conditions
and to leave them free to act for the
best interests of the party. SO far as
may be gathered from expressions so
far heard, the sentiment of the lead
ers of the Democracy in North Caro-
lima now is that conditions demand
the selection of twenty-four safe, un-
wavering Democrats, who have been
true in every party contest, and to
trust them to exercise their wi sc ludS
ment after they reach St. Louis.
Ordinarily the district delegates to
a National Convention are chosen by
the delegates to the State Convention
on the morning before the meeting of
the State Convention, because the
Congressional Conventions are usually
held later than the State Conventions.

have determined upon a change, and
