THE Good Old Times. 4"

There are some people who
ride all through the journey cf
life with their backs to the
horses heads. They are always
looking IN the past. ALI the
worth of things is there. They
are forever talking about the
good old times, and how different
things were when they were
young. There is no romance In
the world now, and no heroism.
The very winters and summers
are nothing to what they used to
be; in fact, life is altogether on a
small, commonplace scale.
Now, that is miserable sort of
thing; it brings a kind of paralyz.
ing chill over the life, ard petri-
ies the natural spring of joy that
should be ever leaping up TO meet
the fresh new memories that the
days keep bringing. - Brooke

GLENN SUGGESTS OBEDIENCE
Proposes tnnt Southern Railway
Make Test of Law TIL Next
Legislature.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2O.-Governor Glenn
of North Carolina just previous to his de-
parture for home last night had a confer
ence with A. II. Thorn, the general coun-
sci of the Southern railway. In speaking
of the conference Governor Glenn said!
1 made two suggestions to Mr.. Thorn,
the first of which was that we stop the
taking of testimony until the two suits,
one from the United States circuit cougt
and the other from the state court are ap-
pealed, that the supreme court of the
United States can pass on the jurlsdJoAion
of the two courts, and that after thin Nyas
done each party could decide what course
to take.
My second suggestion was that the rail-
roads stop their suits and try and live un-
der the 2A-cent rate, and II after giving
the law trial they find that they cannot
continue under 1t and live then they should
appeal to the justice and the fair-minded-
ness of the people in the state of North
Carolina to right the wrong, and 1t should
be done.
Mr.. Thorn told Governor Glenn that he
would bring his suggestions to the atten-
ton of the Southern railway officials and
let him know soon as possible.
