too, but the majority leans to the
present preacher because he comes
cheap, and they outvote their breth
rem and hold the church back from
the rood things it ought to be doing
for the community. This is one case
in many. They are entirely too MANY
field hands trying to preach in West
ern North Carolina. The truth might
as we'll be told. They degrade the
ministry and clip the wings of the
church. They underbid better men
and get the support of tn covetous
who keep an eye on tn almighty dol
lar. A live, cultured, progressive. able
ministry would do more for Western
North Carolina than all the schools
and all the public money that is being
poured into that section for universal
education. The preacher touches the
people at more points than anybody
else, and can kindle the fire in human
hearts when all other means have
failed. All honor to those noble men
of God who have turned their backs
upon better and more inviting fields
and are devoting themselves to lead
ing our Western brethren in the rural
districts to higher things. If one de-
sireS to see the fruit of development
let him turn his eye to the First Bap-
fist church of Asheville the grandest
church in the State Of North Carolina.
There is a great day coming for our
Western Empire and the preachers are
going to lead the way!

LIKELY TO GO DEMOCRATIC.
Indiana, Says This Correspondent,
Shaking on Its Republican Legs.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 81
have some perfectly reliable and very
momentouS news , from the State of
Indiana. 1t is inside, personal and
far more impressiyely favorable than
anything yet published. The News
and Observer will permit me simply
to indicate facts for the general ac-
curacy of which l give my personal
voucher The State is likely, as
things now stand, to go Democratic in
November. The general reasons for
lack of confidence on the part of Re
publicans are briefly: % the unpop-
ularity of Roosevelt; CD the inexperi-
ence of the Republican chairman of
the National Committee, CD the ex-
perience and, skill of Taggart, the
Democratic chairman. In Indiana,
where Mr.. Taggart is best known, it is
said he is d magnificent organizer, a
courageous, effective, tireless worker,
full of resources, while Mr.. Cortel-
you is compelled to lean on others
for advice and has no personal
knowledge of men of affairs. 1t is
thought by the Republicans that Tag
CART may, in spite of Fairbanks de-
served popularity, get the State away
from Cortelyou. Roosevelt has many
enemies. There are numerous rural
voters. The Republicans say that
TaSgart knows who they are and hard
to raise the money which they be-
l1eVe he has in, unlimited quantities.
All this shows that they are badly
scared. They say Mark Hanna is in
his grave, Roosevelt in Mckinley
place, and Cortelyou tryig to lead as a
mere figure-head, Taggart may cap
ture the State. New York is likely tC

of eour or five of the first magnitude
and two or three others of secondary,

of mankind, in one aspect or another.
There are Leuctra, where EpanmardaS

scientific strategy into warfare
LeutZen, where Gustavus, the great
Swede, won his greatest victory at the
sacrifice of his life over the Imperial
lists; the Lech, where earlier. he de-
livered a terrible blow to the same
cause; Leipzig the scene of those aw-
full Tltonic conflicts. after the fatal
Russian campaign, between Napoleon
and the allies, and going back and

Austria, natural son of Charles V. and

Church Spires.

Like fingers pointing heavenward
they rise,
Unmoving guides for travellers
abroad
AS mute reminders of changeless
God,
They stand, 'twixt earth and changeful
skies.
Thro' blasting summer sums and win
ter rains,
Thro' shifting months and ever
Whirling years,
Unswerved by human cares or hui
man fears,
They rear themselves above our pref
ty pains
And when at evening there steal
abroad
The vibrant tones of softly calling
bells,
And from the spires the music falls
and SWellS,
And from the spires the music falls
and SWcllS,
We turn our eyes to them and think
of God.

BEHOLD THE LOCATION
1t Will be Between Morehead City and
Beaufort. This Company, the Mariue
Transmission, Has Already Estab-
Iished Number OF Stations on the
North Atlantic Coast and Has Them
in Successful Operation.

Especial to The News and Observer
S. Rowland has taken his first step in
introducing new industries in the ter
ritory of the Atlantic & North Caro-
lima Railroad, with which he has just
become associated.
1t is stated on the best authority
that Mr.. Rowland has arranged for
the lease of sufficient lands ON the
beach opposite this town and More
head City for the establishment of a
station of the Wireless Telegraph
Company, of which he is president.
Unlike a previous seeker of interest
in the ''Mullet' railroad, Mr. Rowland
does not "dicker'' with wireless stock,
but is at the head of one of the
largest industrial concerns in the
world. He is president of the COM
pany, and it is known that he con-
siders this a most advantageous point
for the establishment of a wireless
station. The arrangements for leas-
ing the property necessary for a long
term of years have been perfected.
The company of which Mr.. How
land is president is the Marine Trans
mission Company, and it has already
established a number of stations on
Long Island Sound, several on the
New England coast and has begun re-
ceiving messages from the large num-
Der of important steamers of promin-
ent steamship lines that have installed
the system of the Marine Transmits
sion Company on their steamers.
1t is reported that the apparatus
for constructing the wireless telegraph
station on the point across from here
will be received and the station COM
pletely equipped within a very short
period-probably three months.

one another-the old woman in the
wit and culture of her companion and
the tales that she took to be true. the
woman who was running away from

Finally the train stopped at the old
woman's station. She took off her
spectacles, wiped them and prepared
to leave the car, Little Eva helping
with the bundles.

Mccklenburg In Front.

The establishment of reformatory
for youthful criminals, which is pro-
posed by the county of MecklenDurg,
is another evidence of the progressive
spirit of that Wide-aWake county. we
would be glad to see the State pro
vide this institution by legislative en-
actment, but, as the Charlotte News
well says, "Mecklenburg has been
waiting for the State to begin the
work long enough and now proposes
to build it's own" Go it, Mecklen-
burg! We hope this spirit will be-
come contagious. If the politicians
at Raleigh are SO morally afraid to
undertake the work, they ought to
have done ten years ago, let the coun-
ty commissioners address themselves
to the task of looking out for their
own hayward boys. If the Legisla'
ture should decide to do justice to
a class so long neglected, the county
work can be carried on without con-
fict with the larger word of the State.
There is room for all the institutions
we shall have, and rich and hope
full field is before them. We are very
glad indeed to record this onward
movement by Mecklenburg and hope
it is the beginning of large move
ment that will result in great good to
the young law-breakers who may be
redeemed

No, they do not, but Herpicide does,
