A CLASSIC.
Greensboro Industrial News.

Greensboro Industrial News.
Among the speeches made in the leg
islature not a few showed genuine abil-
ity and strength, but SO far at least only
attention.
The credit for the authorship of this
one belongs to Capt. E. F. LoviH, SEN
ator from Wautauga, Ashe and Allie
ghany, 1.-THE only senatorial district east
of the Mississippi river without a foot
OF railroad
But who wants any railroads Or fac
tories, or other habitants or sordid COM
merce in such an Eden as Captain
Lovill SO beautifully and graphically
describes?
Words of ours are totally inadequate
to describe this LAND of promise, but in
a classic gem Captain Lovill has done
SO beautifully, feelingly and truthfully,
with the love Of a loyal son and the
touch of a master hand. What could
be finer than this:
Let me describe this beautiful country
to you, senator's. If you go three
thousand feet above the dome of this
capitol, you would then be on a level
with the bed of the stream hat flow
through my district. It is a country
hills, majestic mountains and happy
homes. There stands the great Elk
Knob mountain, which lifts its mighty
peak nearly six thousand feet above the
sea. Back across the beautiful hills
and valleys stands the Grandfather
mountain that lifts its mighty brow
six thousand feet above the sea and
whose summit looks down perhaps
over the thunder storm, with its rolling
thunders and flashing lightning, into
as you go down the slopes of that
majestic mountain you will see beauti-
full and crystal springs Of ice cold water
that roll like liquid diamonds into the
valley below. You will go through
vast primeval forests Of mighty timber
trees and down through wines and
ferns and rh~ododendrons into the broad
aud beautiful valleys, where you will
see the tall meadow grass waving in the
breezes, and catch the aroma Of new
mown hay. o will see great orch
ards of big apples that gather the colors
of the rainbow from the glorious Jun.
Then, as o journey along, you will
see the lazy fatted cattle as they browse
upon the sweet and nutritious grasses
by the crystal brooks that go gushing
and rushing and dashing and splashing
and jumping n hopping like the
waters that comed down at Lodora. Then,
senator's, you will behold h lambs
skipping owe the green pastures, and
as you recline under the shade of the
sugar tree as the ozone fans you brow,
you will imagine that you have been
transported to the land of Arabey,
the blessed. Here you, will hear the
hum of the honey bee that gathers the
honey from the linden, the buckwheat
and the clover, or you may hear the
buzz of the humming bird as it gathers
nectar from the wild flowers that bloom
on either hand.

Youkam, chairman of the board of

today with President Roosevelt and
members of the interstate
commission regarding the railroad
situation.
He told the President that the agita-
ton and legislation in various states res
garding two cent fares and the reduction
in freight rates have had the effect of
making it almost impossible for the
railroads to negotiate loans on their Sc
curities and he declared that "the rail
road men are willing that the super
vision of the railroads be centralized in
the national government.
THAT he added, would restore
confidence and give the people to under

Norfolk, Va, March 13.-Sharing the
sentiments of President Stickney, OF
the Chicago Great Western Railroad,
who declared in Washington last night
that 1.-The people are now laying the
foundation, firm and strong, for a ire
mendous panic" by present adverse
railroad agitation, which threatens all
railways with bankruptcy, President
w. A. Garrett, of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway, who returned last night from
a two weeks inspection trip of the Sea-
board system, declared to-day that
"only a change of sentiment, sweeping
aside the present ruinous trend of the
legislation of the states and govern
ment against the railroads, can save
these corporations from the hands of
receivers.
IF the rates are forced down fur
ther," said Mr.. Garrett, neither the
Seaboard Air Line system nor any
other roads, if they continue their pre-
sent service, will be enabled to i've"
Present conditions were attributed
by Mr.. Garrett to the great prosperity
of the country.
''There is a shortage of men, he
said, land labor is dear. The volume
of business is greater than the cost Of
space production is; competition is
greater still, yet at this time we are
forced to cut rates when we should be
allowed to increase them"
Aside from the heavy operating ex-
penses at this time. Mr.. Garrett pointed
out that taxes on railroads are very
high and the railroads have a large
bonded Indebtedness to maintain. He
says conditions as they stood a year or
two ago were satisfactory, and he be-
1ieved it would have been to the best
interest of both people and railroads if
matters a been allowed to remain as
they were. Mr.. Garrett said that under
his administration of the affairs of the
Seaboard the public will be taken into
the confidence Of the railroad officials;
whenever a wreck or accident occurs,
the details will be made public and the
responsibility will be placed, with an
nouncement to the world as to who are
to blame for such accidents.
