perhaps it will soon be extended. to
Newton, as the people Of that county
are anxious to have a connection with
Dallas. He adds that this road will
prove to be the most lucrative in all
this region of country.
This letter informs us-and we have
received the same notice from other
sources-that the people of CASTOR
will hold a railroad meeting at Dallas
on the 23rd; and it is desired that
York be represented there. A cordial
invitation to be present, is extended
to any and every person who feels an
interest in this important enterprise.
The earnest agitation Of this project
now, under the pressure of the hard
times, is but one Of a thousand evi.
dences of the awakened interest which
is felt throughout the mountain re-
gions in greater facilities for travel
and trade. All around us, from Ra-
bon's Gap to Salisbury and Dan river,
the arteries of internal commerce are
pushing themselves into the ancient
dens of the bear and panther; and ere
long the remotest vallies of the Blue
Ridge, which have listened for ages
only to the scream Of the eagle and
the cry Of the wolf, will be made vocal
with the neigh of the Iron Horse and
the busy wheels of teeming industry.
The Blue Ridge railroad is but the en-
ponent Of desire throbbing at the
heart Of western Carolina, to tap the
prolific trade Of Tennessee and Ken

lucky. The citizens OF Grecnville and
Of Spartanburg entertain a like desire;
and the extension Of the Greenville
and Columbia railroad, and of the
Spartanburg and Union road, Is per-
haps only Il question of time and not
OF importance. The Western EXten-
sion" with destined termination at
Rutherford, is designed to divert
trade from Charleston via Yorkville
and to feed Washington via Charlotte.
The latter town is rapidly outstripping
us in prosperity. Why? Because 1t Is
alive to the incalculable Importance Of
railroads. Charlotte Is thrusting forth
these magic conductors Of trade in
every direction; and they enlarge her
business as naturally as the innumer-
able rivulets Of the mountains swell
the majestic current Of the Broad or
the Catawba.
The practical question for Yorkville
and York district to decide now, is,
whether they will suffer the present
opportunity Of promoting their well
fare to slip through their fingers The
neighboring towns are competing with
each other for the mountain trade.
Shall we let it go without an effort on
our part? Dallas desires a connection
with Yorkville. Her road would be
valueless If it terminated at the line.
Her people are now aroused. The ac-
QUESTION of their charter by Mr.. White
was a bit of unlocked good for
tune. All they lack now in CASTOR is
the hearty cooperation Of our citi-
zens. We sincerely hope that they

Abou Bon Adhem.

Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe in
crease).
Awoke one night from deep dream
Of peace,
And saw within the moonlight in his
room,
Making it rich and like a lily in
bloom,
An angel writing in a book Of gold;
Exceeding peace had made Ben Ad-
hem bold,
And to the presence in the room he
said:
What writest thou?" The vision rails
ed it's head,
And, with a look made Of all sweet
accord,
Answered: 1.-The names Of those who
love the Lord"
"And Is mine one?" said Abou. NAY
not So"
Replied the angel. Abou spoke more
low,
But cheerily still, and said: Il pray
thee, then,
Write me as one who loves his fellow.
men,"
The angel wrote and vanished. The
next night
1t came again, with a great awaken
ing light,
And showed the names Of those whom
love of God had blessed
And 10! Ben Adhem's name led al
the rest.

Stung.-LondOn reports the discov-
cry of the meanest man of whom there
is any record. This Englishman has
just been divorced from his wife-for
what, do you guess? Wrong You
couldn't guess it in a week Of Sundays.
The mean fellow carried live bees
around in his pockets. Every time his
wife went to examine his pockets to see
if they needed mending-or for other
reasOns-see any jest book-she was
cruelty stung. Unable to endure such
treatment, she secured a divorce She
felt that one of the most ancient of
wifely duties-and privileges that of
inspecting the bottom of her hus-
bands pOckets-was not only intcrfer-
ed with, but was made a method of
torture. The man. of course, argued
that he had a right to carry what he
pleased in his pockets-but the grant
ing of the divorce would seem like a
denial of this right. So man may well
begin to ponder this question: What
may "a man rightfully carry in his
pockets ?-EXchange.

The Whale Dance.

A very primitive custom Of the ma
tives Of the Bering and Arctic coasts Of
Siberia, a custom that has come down
from generations Of savage ancestors,
when the Eskimos select their wives.
When the sun moves southwark at
the end of the short summer season,
and the ice closes up the northern seas
the whales come down to open water
Then in celebration Of the seasons
catch, the ice dwellers assemble for
the whale dance, which lasts twenty
one days.
The great dance circle is prepared
and in the centre the dancers, both
male and female, perform the most
savage Of evolutions and motions to
the accompaniment Of rhythmless
chanting. The dance songs tell of the
prowess Of the hunters and Of the
history of the tribe. The movements
of the women are surprisingly grace
full, and they mean to show in their
dance that, as daughters of a great
people, they are possessed Of all the
qualities such women should have.
The men execute pantomimic scenes
of the hunt, and go through all the
motions of the kill; they spear the ice
bear, slay the walrus and seal, and fl
nally, with extraordinary contOrtions,
vanquish the mighty whale.
During the last days of the feast,
when the time arrives for the selection
of husbands and wives, the man per-
forms his mate dance, before the wo-
man he has picked out. In pantomime
he promises to provide her generously
with the fruit of the hunt, both food
and fur If she is pleased with him,
she walks out and dances her accept
ance, and shows how she will look af-
ter the igloo. When they have danced
before each other, they are married af-
ter the custom of the tribe, and he
leads her off to his walrus-hide lodge.
During the dance they feast on
whale. The skin of the baleen whale
is about an inch thick, and looks like
and the true flesh is usually about four
teen inches thick. The black skin and
the blubber, the latter cut to the
thickness of the former, is called mok-
TUX, and although it sounds repulsive
to the civilized ear, is most palatable.
1t has a flavor sor1ething like that of
chestnuts-Youth's Companion.

FOUND OLD EGYPTIAN JEWELS
British Archeolosist Discovered Great
Hoard of Ancient Relics,

Hoard of Ancient Relics.
In a few weeks London will have an
opportunity Of inspecting a part Of
one Of the greatest boards Of ancient
Egyptian jewelry ever found in the re-
gion Of the Nile.
A strange story of its discovery in
the Pyramid Of Senusert II Quilt
about S,4OO B. CO. is related by Prof.
Flinders Petrie, head Of the British
school Of Archaeology in Egypt. In
the pyramid the investigators came
across the burial chamber Of a prin-
cess. The granite sarcophagus had
been plundered, but the thieves had
overlooked the treasure which was To-
Gated in a small recess since covered
with thick mud.
",rhe extraordinary conditions Of
this discovery seem quite inexplica-
ble," Professor Petrie says. "The tomb
had been attacked; the long and heavy
work of lifting the massive granite lid
of the sarcophagus and breaking 1t
away, had been achieved; yet all the
gold was left within arms reach, in
the recess Of the passage, uninjured.
No chance visitors in later years ever
ransacked the pit, as 1t stood open, or
they would soon have found the treas
ure.
How such things should have es-
capped detection under these conditions
is an entire mystery
Among the treasures was a crown Of
FURNISHED gold, more than an inch
wide with high plumes and stream
ers also of gold) Of an entirely new
pattern.
The crown, the mirror and one Of
the pectoral are now in the Cairo Mu-
scum; the remainder Of the objects
have arrived in England.-London

the invisible government Of plutoc-
racy. That thing went on so long that
Mr. Frick and his fellows came sin
cerely to believe that they had a vest
ed right to give orders and that 1t was
the duty Of the titular rulers of this
town to obey them. Did they not tell
Roosevelt that unless he gave them
permission to violate the law and alb
sorb the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company by the Steel trust they would
allow the panic to bring more univer-
sal wreck and ruin?
Here is how 1t was. The Tennessee
Coal and Iron company was making
better steel rails than the Steel trust
could make. Hartman gave the Ten
nessee Coal ard Iron company an or
der for an immense invoice Of rails
The Tennessee company was in fix
to monopolize the steel rail manufac-
ture. That caused the panic that
made bankrupts Of thousands Of pros
porous mentor what? To get the
l. NOdl dllu 1iOi COMPANY
And they got 1t.
Nobody could challenge the thing
except the attorney general Of Mr.
Roosevelt's cabinet, and I'll bet mil
lion the invisible government that
speak Of put that provision in the law
Mr.. Roosevelt's attorney general was
the most subservient and sycophantic
cabinet officer an American president
ever had and so the Steel trust was
safe from prosecution. opine the
thing is fortified by the statute Of linn
itations by this time.
While Woodrow Wilson is president
there will be no invisible government
to give him orders. The people should
give him a chance. That Is all he
asks.-Savoyard.

INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT
Money Power Controls Veal and Woe
Without Showing Its Hand.

A few days ago there appeared In
that standpat Republican organ, the
Washington Post, the following spe-
cial dispatch:
pittsburgh, June 13.-Before leav-
ing this city Henry c.. Frick, in an In
terview, blamed business depression
on too much tariff, too much legisla-
ton and the administrations attitude
toward big business generally The
financial situation, he believed, is
sound.
THE president is a fine gentleman
personally, but too impractical for the
presidency. He made a good school
master, has a splendid command of
English and has good personal traits.
presume this is the same Mr..
Frick who in company with Judge
Gary, titular head OF the steel monop-
oily, descended from the precincts OF
Mammon in New York upon this town
in 1907 and at the hour Of midnight
gained speech with the Republican
president of the United States, whom
he cajoled or bullied into granting in
diligence to the steel trust to absorb
it's chief competitor, the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION
Porfirio Diaz Sold Mexican People to
the Highest Bidder.

In considering the objects Of the
Mexican revolution, we must first un-
derstand what kind Of people are re-
voting. In Mr.. Hamilton Fyfe's mac
curate book, 1.-The Real Mexico" he
says that this is a revolution OF the
middle class, because Francisco Ma
dero led it. This Is gross misstate-
ment Of facts. There Is no Mexican
middle class Eighty per cent Of the
population are poems, aristocrats and
Mexican landowners Of almost pure
Spanish blood The remaining ten per
cent consists Of professionals and
small business men, mostly dominated
by foreign ideas and foreign employ
ers. The revolution is simply and
purely a revolution Of the poems, which
has continued more or less intermit-
tently for 400 years, and in this partic-
ular outbreak was described and pre-
dicted ten years before Madero ever
thought Of leading it.
You will say that If eighty per cent
Of the population opposed only ten per
cent for the middle class, except for
individuals, has taken no part in the
revolution-it is strange that they
couldn't get what they wanted, says
the Metropolitan Magazine.
But the poems were not opposed by
only ten per cent of the Mexican peo-
pie. They were opposed by the entire
civilized world. Porfirio Diaz syste-
matically looted the Mexican people
for thirty-five years. In the first
place, he and the cientifico party which
surrounded him, sold the National re-
sources Of the Republic to foreigners
on the pretext that foreign capital
was needed to develop the country, and
pocketed the prize. In other words,
President Diaz sold the Mexican peo-
pie to the highest bidder.
But, after all, the cheating Of the
people out Of their rights and their
national heritage did not rankle SO
deeply and so long as did the stealing
of their lands. Slowly and methodi-
cally, the great estates created origi-
nally by the Spanish land grants alb
sorbed the communal fields around the
villages the open ranges and the small
farms. By the land law Of 1896, passed
by the influence of Diaz himself, all
lands in the Republic not secured by
legal title were thrown open to denun-
citation by anyone who wished; and
since most Of the small farms were
worked by poems whose families had
worked them some times for four gen.
erations, without any question of their
illiterate to have ever
heard Of titles-it was an easy job for
the land -grabbers. With the aid Of
Federal soldiers thousands Of poems
were evicted from their homes, with no
choice left but to become virtual
slaves on the big haciendas, and no
hope for the future. For instance, in
the San Carlos district, Chihuahua
state, 400 farmers were ordered to
leave their homes by Don Luis Terra
zas, who already owned 100000
acres of land. When they refused to
do so, two regiments Of soldiers were
sent against them, and they were shot
down in cold blood. l could give
twenty such cases, but the battle Of
San Carlos was the shot heard round
the world" The news travelled all over
the Republic light lightning, and five
years later the government Of Porfirio
Diaz fell forever.

will receive it in unstinted abundance.
We are aware that some Of our citi-
zens prefer a railroad to Shelby.
Granting this preference to be judi
cious-and of this we have our doubts
the thing is at present impractic-
able. 1t requires concert of action to
build a railroad of any length; and
no one is dreaming of road to Shelby
at the present juncture. 1t is farther,
too. to this town than to Dallas and a
road thither would cost much more
money. The people Of Shelby have no
charter for a road to the line, and are
not offering us the least cooperation.
1t is doubtful if they wanted one,
whether they could push a charter
through the North Carolina legislature.
The question then is, not which is
preferable, a road to Shelby or one to
Dallas: but whether a road to Dallas
is desirable at all. OF this there can
be but one opinion.
The Columbia and Charlotte road,
and the South Carolina road are both
deeply interested in the consumma-
ton OF this enterprise. For this reason
they are likely to take stock in the
road, if it is not all secured before
hand by individual subscriptions. We
design enlarging upon this idea in a
future article.
