Cha rlotte Chronicle.
Commenting upon the ChrODicle's s
fluctuations OH the spirit shown by
the present board OF aldermen toward
Charlotte corporations, the Stanly
Enterprise remarks: The above
paragraph has a big lesson tersely
expressed. The town that wants
capital to be invested in its midst
must make attractive moves TO get
it. The action of the Charlotte alder
men will hold for theircity thousands
of dollars that would have. been di-
verted into the building and wealth
of another. 4 neigbboring city
caused hundreds and thousands oi
dollars to be invested into the build
ing up of new towns and adding To
the wealth of others because a few
years ago it took steps that discour-
aged further investment by certain
large manufacturing plants. What
the Enterprise says is true. Ia these
days il is the factories. power aud
light aud street car companies and
other corporations that make the
city. Strip Charlotte OF its corpora
tions and see what would I've left oi

HENDERSON. N. c., s.,a.
Letter to a June Bride.
The Scrap Book for June

The Scrap Book for June.
Many years ago an old friend
wrote this letter to June bride on
the eve of her wedding-day:
II have sent you few flowers to
adorn the dying moments of your
single life. They are the gentlest type
OF delicate, durable friendship. They
spring up by our side when others
have deserted it; and they will be
found watching over our graves when
those who should cherish have. for
gotten us. 1t seems that a past, so
calm and pure as yours, should ex-
pire with q kindred sweetness about
it-that flowers and music, kind
friends and earnest words, should
consecrate the hour when a sentiment
is passing into a sacrament.
"The three great stages of our be-
ing are the birth, the bridal, and the
burial. To the first we bring only
weakness-for the last we have moth
ing but dust But here at the altar,
when life joins life, the pair come
throbbing up to the holy man, whis-
pering the promise that arms each
others heart, to help on in the life
struggle of care and duty. The beau
tiful will be there, borrowing new
beauty from the scene. The gay and
thoughtless, with their founces and
frivolities. will look solemn for once.
Youth will come to gaze upon the
object OF its secret yearnings; and
age will totter by to hear the words
repeated that to their own lives had
given the charm. Some will weep
over it as if it were tomb, and some
laugh over it as if it were a Joke: but
two must stand by it, for it is Fate.
not fun, this everlasting locking of
their lives.
And now, can you, who have
queened it over so many bending
forms, can you come down at last to
the frugal diet of a single heart?
Hitherto you have been a clock, Civ
ing your time to all the world. Now
you are a watch, buried in one par
ticular bosom, warming only his
breast, marking only his hours, and
ticking only to the beat of his heart
where time and feeling shall be in
unison until those lower ties are lost
in that higher wedlock, where all
hearts are united
''Hoping that calm and sunshine
may hallow your clasped hands, l
sink silently into a signature.

Importance of Material Progress.

Monroe Journal.
The Lexington Dispatch sums upa
very vital subject in the following
paragraphs:
1--WE confess to inability to under
stand the attitude of some men to-
ward material progress and improve
ments. Educated, intelligent preach
ers of moral and spiritual develop
ment and growth of righteousness,
will fly to cover like scared rabbit
if you mention tax or bonds for such
good thing as good roads, as if
material development and the kind
of development they preach do not
naturally IT. go hand in hand.
make the assertion that good roads
in Davidson county would do more
for the upbuiiding Of the church and
the growth of morality and religion
than much preaching. You've got to
get people to church before you can
preach to them, and good roads
would increase the attendance at re-
ligious services almost immeasura-
bly,, especially in the winter. There
would be larger attendance at the
schools. There would be more social
intercourse with a resultant spread
OF new ideas and information. There
would be a vast impetus given to all
those forces that make for the de-
velopment of people; and yet men
who theorize along this line all day
long, who ought to lead the people
as much in the material lines as in
spiritual lines, are 'agin' spending
money for roads and won't help
to get the people in the notion of
voting a tax even for schools to give
the children of Davidson county a
better chance in life. No people can
develop symmetrically unless they
combine their material and spiritual
interests and make both mind and
matter, soul and pocketbook, heart
| and head, work together for the up
building of the land"
This is the correct principles; ma
terial progress gives opportunity for
| intellectual advancement, social ease,
culture, refinement, and all the things
| that make life beautiful and haapy.
But the latter things are the more
| important and the first is worthy
only as basis for them. The tend
ency of late has been an overruling
desire to gain material progress at
the sacrifice of everything else, to
make it an end instead of means.

The young man OF the South who,
governed by the migratory fever goes
West or Northwest, in search ofpros-
perity or fortune. believing the ad
vantages and opportunities he will
find there greater than in his own
section, is now. no matter how it
may have been in the past. making a
serious mistake. The South doesn't
look quite as prosperous as some
other sections, hnt she is just now
getting able to make vigorous strokes
for progress and her opportunities
and her advantages are not equalled
anywhere.
The Washington Post sees the Wis
ion of prosperous and happy South
and picturing that vision advises the
young man OF the middle West to go
South. Here is the way the Post
looks at the present and future OF
this great section:
Last year Ahe cotton States pro-
duced 561, ,103, 900 bushels OF corn,
against 4O2 ,625, 900 grown by the
eight Northern States of Pennsyl-
vania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesOta. Kansas. the Dakotas and
Colorado, and the Territory of New
Mexico. Delaware, Maryland, the
Virginias, Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Missouri, the last three important
grain States, are not computed
among the cotton States in the fore
going calculation.
"This year the cotton acreage at
the South is less by 80 per cent. than
last year; but the land devoted to
corn exceeds that of last year by l.
10000 acres. This is a good sign.
When the South grows it's own grain
and produces its own meat, some
thing it has not yet done, it will have
become the most prosperous agricul
tural community on earth.
"But there is another advantage
When the South devotes attention
to grain growing it will necessarily
lead to better farming. There will FOL
low conservation OF the soil through
crop rotation, and peas and alfalfa
will enter largely into the farm
economy This will necessarily bring
about cattle and hog breeding and
feeding, and ultimately the dairy
the cheese factory, sheep husbandry
and poultry farming. Already truck
gardening and fruit growing are
prosperous industries at the South
where numerous successful canning
establishments are located.
Cotton will some day be the sur
plus crop, and grown on land that
will produce two bales an acre. Will
intelligent crop rotation and careful
seed selection, it will be, an easy mat
ter to raise $4,000, 900 bales with
less labor on half the acreage planted
last year that produced some 13, ,O0O,'
900 bales.

swarm into the Dominion and volnn,
tariIy become subjects of King Ed
ward. The cotton SoutL. even that
region OF it East Of the Mississippi
river, is an infinitely more inviting
field. The climate is all that can be
desired, and the diversity OF crops IT
admits of affords advantages to be
found nowhere else on the North
American continent-grain, cotton,
the grasses, tobacco, sugar, rice
truck patches, fruits such as peaches
melons. berries. figs, and in some sec.
tions the citrus varieties. Later will
come live stock breeding, dairyiDg
and wool growing.
