wonders of the land in the western
part OF this State opened by the new
railroad development, it will not be
the fault of this paper. We give else

This land of gorges is now opened to
tourists and it shall be the aim of
the Chronicle to give them compe-
tent guidance. Next summer, "A visit
to the gorges should be the proper
excursion. There is the gorge of the
Toe river, the gorge of the Doe river
and the gorge of the Linville river,
the latter so deep aud narrow that
the sun shine never reaches its bot

these wonders of nature. These hith-

opened to the world through the in
genulty and enterprise of tie railroad

Raleigh Evening Times.
Many newspapers have written of
Mr.. Bryan since>the election and
many good things have been said,
but it was reserved for the Charlotte
Observer to pay him the most beau
tiful tribute we can remember ever
having been paid to any one. We
have all said nice things about him
because we recognize the great worth,
and above all the fighting qualities
of the man, but none could say it so
beautifully as the brilliant editor of
the Observer. His editorial should be
published to the world and placed in
every scrap book in the land:
MR. BRYAN IN DEFEAT
"The case of Hon. William Jen-
nings Bryan is one full of pathos.
From whatever motive, whether self
ish ambition as his enemies assert,
or an unselfish desire as he claims,
to be in position to serve the in
terests of the people, there is no
doubt that he was keenly anxious to
be elected president-never SO anX-
ious as this year, nor SO confident as
in the campaignsiust ended. His dis
appointment, therefore, in the result
of yesterdays election must ap-
proach anguish of mind, and be the
keener by reason of the fact which
must be perfectly apparent to him
that his last opportunity to be presi-
dent has passed. Men have run for
this office three times but none four.
and Mr.. Bryan's name will now be
dropped. 20 doubt at his own i'll
stance, from the list of the available
candidates of the future. Clearly in
the last moments of the campaign
he realized that his star was about to
set: one reading his speech at Marys-
vile, Kansas, Monday night. could
detect between the lines that he had
seen the finger of fate. Every man
with heart in him must feel very
sorry for this man whose hope of
twelve years has been dashed
But he made a magnificent fight.
He spoke splendidly-with fine abil-
ity, with imperturbable good temper,
and under such physical strain us no
other man could have endured. From
east to west he Travelled in whirlwind
fashion, making speech after speech
daily, his physical energy unabated,
his superb nerve unshaken. He went
down but went with his face to the
foe and his flag flying. SO then:
The harder you re thrown, why, the higher
you bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye!
1t ism t the fact that voure licked that
counts;
Its how did You fight-and why?
And though you be done to the death,
what then?
Ii you batted the best you conld,
II you played your part in the world of men,
Why the critics will call it good
Death comes with "A crawl, or comes with
pounce,
And whether he's slow or spry,
1t ism the fact that you re dead that counts.
But only how did you die?'"

The Seabord Roadway.
Big improvements Being Made
Between Monroe and Ruth
erfordton.

The Charlotte Observer has the fol-
lowing which will be read with i'll
terest here and throughout the
Seaboard's territory in this State:
Approximately $1,000 mile is
being expended by the Seaboard Air
Line on it's road between Charlotte
and Monroe and will presumably be
expended on the Charlotte Ruther-
fardton end of the same line. This
amount is being placed in general
improvement Of the track and those
who have seen the character of the
work being done agree that it is
being made one OF the finest tracks
in this entire section.
"The road after being raised and
re-leveled to "a distance of from u
inches to feet in some places. is
being ballasted with the excellent
combination of small rock and sand
which comes from the Pee Dee sec
tion of the State. The ballast is
being cut from a hill near Lilesville
and is making a superb roadbed. 1t
abOunds in a coarse variety of sand
and smooth, round rocks which APP
pear to have come direct from the
shore. Ranging in size, these rocks
give the sand a substantial quality,
and it makes a fine mixture for such
purposes as it is being put to.
1.-The ballast is costing the road SS
a car and it requires Go cars to the
mile. 1t additionally costs mile
$3.50 in labor and 5000 in transpor-
tatiOn, which makes a total of 800
a mile, exclusive of new cross-ties
which are being laid where they are
needed. The roadbed is not only
being given IA solidity of unusual pro-
portions, but is being made an
altogether beautiful stretch, having
the appearance of a single bar of
sand.
Counting that the cost a mile is
$ 900, which is the lowest estimate
that can be made. the Seaboard will
expend a total of 100000 between
Monroe and RutherfordtOn an ap-
proximate distance of 100 miles.
MANY are thinking that the money
essential in CARRYING on this decided
improvement is coming from the
wealth of the Carolina, Clinchfield 4
Ohio Railway Company, the new
name for the South & Western, owner
OF the grand system which has been
cut across North Cardinals noun
tain chain to secure direct connec-
ton with the coal fields OF West
Virginia and that entire stretch OF
country which has hitherto had no
straight outlet into the South.
''The presumable intention OF the
/ t., {. L 0. to connect at Wilmington
and establish there a coaling centre
for foreign shipments demands that
the Seaboard's line be used between
Rutherfordton and that terminal.
No matter who is furnishing the
money or what the ultimate inten-
tion OF those who are spending it, il
remains an apparent fact that Char
lotte is to have running through it
as fine a railroad as touches any
city in this entire section OF the
South.

HENDERSON, N. G. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER r. 1905

Barksdale on the bench and in other
very greatest needs to-day.
This is a wonderful age. We who
live in it have been we'll told that
we are heirs of all the ages that
have gone before. Events move
with arapidity heretofore undreamed
OF. The marvels OF one year are the
commOnplaces of the next Fairly
set at work, the cOnstructivee energies
OF the human mind have been trans
forming the face of the material
world. Greatest of all countries i'm
its future is the United States. The
Southern States, after a period of
enforced tagging, show themselves
bent upon making up for lost ground.
Industrial progress in the South is at
least as great as in any other part of
the country. and there are gratifying
evidences of great progress along
many other lines. 1t Onl y needs that
the South shall regain some sense of
moral propotion to check an increas-
ing lawessness, continually develop
ing new forms, which menaces the
whole structure of civilized and
orderly life in this section. Let all
who feel responsibility toward the
public see that moral emphasis is
placed right. There should be much
less disposition on the part of some
people to use legislation and the
courts for tyrannizing over other
people. Tyranny is tyranny, whether
the tryant be one, or a thousand or
a hundred thousand. The constitu-
tion of the United States largely
devOtes itself to the assertion of the
rights of minorities against major
tiles. Let us have less persecution
of men and more upholding of the
law, that is law indeed. And in all
this we have said not one word of the
Christianity which, if the Christianity
of Christ, stands for freedom, abund-
ance of life, gentleness, patient teach
ing and persuasion, opposition to
puritanical narrOwness and attempts
at forcibly running mankind molten
into anybodv's mold; nor have we
said one word about those rock-bot-
tom principles upon which the
Democratic party was founded and
away from which the Democratic
party in any State or in the country
at large cannot long endure.

Preachers as Orators.
Thomasville Charity and Children.


We have always cOntended that
our preachers, as a class, are the
most effective and forcible speakers
on the platform. Lawyers are not
half so we'll trained as preachers. for
they ramble where they please, and
stick to their text or leave it at their
own sweet will. They do not com
pare with the preachers in the skilful
use of the English language. OF
course there are exceptions. like ex-
Gov Aycock and Major Chas- Nj.
Steadman, who outclass everybody
in the use of ofornate and virile English.
but we are writing in general terms.
The politicians have had their day i'll
court. Mr.. J. w. Bailey easily leads
them all in his perfect mastery of the
English tongue. but majority OF the
brethren depend upon noise as much
as upon argument. They are short oil
logic and as for rhetoric they tear it
into tatters. In a rough-and-tumble
way they handle the issues with a
good deal ofeffectiveness but to class
the average political speakers among
the polished orators would provoke
smile among the discerning and
thoughtful. The preachers, however,
from Sunday to Sunday, clothe their
thoughts in good English and show
the fine effect of their training in
college and seminary by the logical
arrangement of their sermons. One
reason why an educated preacher is a
superior speaker to his brother of the
law and of politics is that he has a
better class of listeners, nObler
theme and far better preparation for
his work. With all due respect to the
professional brethren, in the persua-
sive power of Oratorv the pulpit
easily leads them all
