Southport the Terminal.

In speaking OF the South and Wes-
tern railroad which is being con-
structed from the coal fields of Vir-.
giEia and Kentucky into this state
and across the mountains the Man
ufacturers' Record SAYS:
The South and Western railway.
Oh which construction is in progress
in the southwestern part of Virginia
and in Western North Carolina. will
carry coal from the Elkhorn fields in
Kentucky, and also from the Clinch-
aeld region in Virginia. At Elkhorn
the line will connect with the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, and like the Tide
water, it is assured of a large business
i'm hauling fuel as soon as construc-
ton is completed. The seacoast term
inal, as heretofore stated, is to be at
Southport, N. G., about thirty miles
below Wilmington. The construction
of this line through the mountains
OF North Carolina, where it was long
believed TO be almost impossible to
build a railroad, is one of the i'm
pressive feats OF engineering in these
years of wonderful achievements.
According to "a report from that
vicinity, some of this construction is
costing $1sO,OOO per mile. The Sec
tiOn between Marion and Ruthford-
ton is to be tackled within a month,
and General Manager Caples is re-
ported as saying that the work must
be completed within a year or a year
and half. The difficulty OF this
task and the wonderful results which
are being accomplished by the engi.
neers are indicated by the expression
OF a mountain guide quoted in the
Charlotte Observer thus: "a set o
people who are fools enough to under
take to build a railroad through q
place like this oughtn't to be distur
bed no way" From Elkhorn to
, Spartanburg the road will be about
300 miles long There are eighteen
tunnels in the North Carolina noun
! tains. one of them 2,15O feet long
but the big tunnel under tle CliDct
mountain in Virginia is said to be
two and one-half miles in length.

HENDERSON, N. G, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1906.

The lighter notes are struck, but not
the pulse-like heavy cords. The po--
likeness OF frivolous society is not the
quality ofkindly tact or tactful kind
ness that should be cultivated. We
may be the soul of politeness toward
the sO-called society world, but harsh
and unkind towards our interiors,
towards the masses with whom we
have daily dealings.
We may be graceful in our courte-
sizes and polished in our manners, but
brutally tactless in our real actions
Politeness is not tact. Many men are
polite to the outside world and rude
to their own families.
Many persons are double-faeed. On
the one side they reveal pleasant
smile; on the other they display u
ss,eesing scurn.
Tact is uniform kindness towards
all persons, whether they be of lower
or higher rank, poor or millionaire,
whether they be our interiors or su-
periors.
The kindness can be shown i'm a
quiet, tactful and modest way among
the poor and unfortunate, among the
neglected part of humanity, among
the class of persons found in every
community who are at the bottom
OF the social ladder
Living on a higher social scale,
we are apt to forget the great mass
OF humanity around and about us
with whom We have no steady rela-
tiOns, but who are doomed to lower
condition, who are SO placed in their
trades and pursuits that they cannot
rise to the front. With this class OF
unfOrtunates we come in contact in
doing charity, but we should always
exercise tact, display sympathy and
use kindness.
Charity is often done in a tactless
way that lowers and degrades a fel-
lOw-creature.
Make your fellowman feel that he is
your equal as a human being, and
not that you are patronizing him.
You object to such treatment from
Others. Be equally courteous to
Others. Apply the principle OF tact
to all men and all classes. Be equal
ly kind and sympathetic to all per-
sons. Never imagine yourself better
than some one else because you are
in worldly position higher than his
What good will kindly tact not ac-
complish? How few choice words
will sweeten! How the balm of sym
pathy, pressed to the aching wounds
in human heart will heal by the
mir Acle of kindness. Hold your fel-
lowman's heart as dear as yours. Do
not say to him words which would
offend or disturb you if uttered by
another. Be supremely kind, soft in
heart, towards the misery OF the
world; compassionate towards sui
fering; unselfish in your dealings;
tactful and considerate towards all
men. If thus we do, we shall mount,
step by step, from the better, to the
better still, and from the better to-
ward the best.

The Whipping Post.
High Point Enterprise.

High Point Enterprise.
Jupge Moore took occasion to
say in Greensboro, in Guilford County
Superior Court, that he was in favor
of the whipping post in the matter
of punishment of two offences, those
being for the mistreatment Or abuse
imposed upon weak and dependent
woman, and for cruelty to dumb
animals The immediate occasion
for such judicial utterance was in the
trial OF High Point boy-a white
boy-for the larceny of a team, and
the subsequent brutal beating of the
horse he drove. The general public
will agree with Judge Moore, and it
might add another to the list, if not
several, but it strikes us that the ap-
plication of the lash to the back of
the now distinguished set of va
grants, idlers, loafers, half human
parasites, or whatever else one might
call them, would make a fine third
selection.
First of all, of course comes the
brute who would maltreat q woman
he is lowest in all the scale. Still
it's somewhat with this as with
many other things or changes, where
it is allowed by an enactment, we
believe the punishment of fogging
would be found to fit so many crimes
that many a cost to county and
State would be spared such as today
is named in food, fuel and general
supplies in. county iails and along
the routes of active chain-gangs. Bt
it return to things behind us, OF
what not else, we are with judge
Moore Bring on the whipping
post. Many a man can only b'
touched through his back or his belly
All sensihilities seemingly center
there.

ever the colored brother ventures
to establish himself in the same

OF the indignation, the uproar, the
depreciation of property and the ruin
of neighborhoods. caused by the
cairo American" invasion.
The latest agitation has been
caused by the "Afro-American Realty
Company's" purchase of an apart
ment house on West One Hundred
and Fifty-first street, New York, and
the display of a signboard announc-
ing departments to let to colored
tenants" According to the Sun,
people in the block are expressing
themselves very vigorously. This
was not all. An excited crowd gath

evitable "rope" made its appear

Lincoln knew his Illinois neighbors
we'll enough to foresee something oil
all this, and in his earlier periods he
| contended that the two races could
never live together in either social OF
political equality. As late as 1862
he told deputation of negroes that
the colonization of their race outside
of this country was the only solution
of the problem. Still later, however
when he perceived in what direction
the Northern current had set, ht

Little JOS Church.
How the Orphan Boys Mite Grew

SO it was, that the five loaves and

Home at this place now.
As many of our readers remember,
a few years ago little ) or 6-year-
old orphan boy, named 10, died mt
this place. Little 10 was q very
talkative little fellow and no one
was stranger to him. Previous to
his death some friend gave him 40
cents. He went to his matron and
told her that some person gave him
some money and, to use his words.
he said "Miss Celeste Miss Celeste
do you know what am going to do
with my money!" "No, 10, what
are yoHgoing to do with it?" 81 am
going to build a church for the boys
and girls here, and l am going to
have porch to it, where The boys
can hang their hats and coats when
it's hot" Anyone would naturally
have said, what is 40 cents toward
building a church? The above was
published, or part, in Our Father.
