Few people, perhaps know that,
Judge J. Bliss Ray, one of the
most widely known jurists in
North Carolina, was q railroad
engineer before he became a law.
yer. 1t is generally considered
a long jump from an overalled
and begrimed train man in the
cab of a locomotive tea dignified
Judge on the bench, but the his.
tory of America is filed with
stories of men who have achieved
ia me and fortune in the face Of
and in spite of unpromising envi-
ronment. What Judge Ray has
accomplished can be emulated by
most any American youth with
the proper energy and ambition
and the will to do.
Nothing is impossible in this
great land of opportunity. From
the farm and the lumber camp
to the presidency of the Nation
is a step that has been taken
and what has been done can sure
ly be done again. Tqis is the one
land in the world where q youth
of obscure beginninghas an even
better chance than his contem.
porary in q palace, because the
baby in the hut may grow up to
earn hisi daily bread by the
sweat Of his brow, and it is only
through hard labor that the real.
ly worthwhile things are posi-.
ble of accomplishment.
The American people dearly
love a worker, and they have no
use &C all for the parasites and
drones. A man must climb by
his own effort to reach any real
success. A ragged coat is no
bar to the banquet hall if only
the boy wearing ithave confidence
in himself and is willing to drive
ever onwardstoward his goal, see.
ing nothing, knowing nothing
but his one objective. The road
Of life is very rocky, but the val.
leys on the other side of the
mountain are very pleasant.

HISTORIC EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA.
(By John s. Williams

l have just returned from the
most delightful and sensational
trip Of my life, and by your kind
permission, would like to give
your readers some little idea of
this great world of waters and
the historic significance of this
beautiful eastern coast.
We left Newbern, N. G., in the
early morning and reached Beau.
fort about ten o'clock. The first
thing of interest that strikes the
visitor is the grand banks out in
the ocean which comes into sight
as you reach Morehead City,
which is two miles across the
Cove sound from Beaufort. These
banks are along the entire North
Carolina coast and are composed
of sand thrown up by the waves
and winds to a height of fifty
to a hundred feet, and are from
two to fifteen miles off shore. In
several places up these banks
the great ocean storms have bro.
ken through and made what is
called inlets. The one just in
front of Beaufort through which
we went into the ocean is abou
one mile long and the boatman
said the water over this bar was
only twenty-five feet deep, too
shallow for large boats. On these
banks in some places you find
rank vegetation on the western
or leeward side. On the ocean
side you find sand as it is castur
by the sea. A hardy race Of little
ponies live now, and have lived
for centuries, on these S a n
banks. Yesterday we saw one o.
the little fellowsstanding on the
sand headland looking as discon
solate and lonely as it is possible
to picture an object, totally sur
rounded by the ocean, severa
miles from land on a narrow lit
tie sand spit. He threw up his
head and neighed for his com
panions but none were in sight
and when we returned from 8
trip of several miles in the ocean
there stood the same pony with
the strong wind from the sea
tearing through his long, shag
gy hair, tail and maine blown ou
straight, looking the picture o
utter desolation. But these littl'
horses have been used to bat
tling with the sea since the tim
of Governor Whites colony. Th'
theory, and the only plausibl'
one, of the origin of these ponie
is that they Pre descendants o
the horses brought over by tn
above mentioned colony whicl
attempted a settlement on Roam
oke Island in Dare county. Th
people were heard of no NOR
but the horses left to shift fol
themselves, degenerated in t
these shaggy, wild little ponies
This must be their origin fo
there were no horses here whe
this country was discovered, an
these ponies are right wher
thew were left and no where els
do you find them. They are segs
cious little animals. These pei
pie say when a fearful storr
comes on on the ocean and ther
is danger Of the banks being il
undated, these ponies swim
the main land until the storm +;
bates and then 60 back. Th
|young colts, not strong enoug
to swim the several miles t
the shore, are said to take the
mothers tails in their mouth
and are thus towed to safet,
You would ask where do they g,
water, being totally surrounde
by salt water which, of cours'
nothing can drink. I asked tn,
question of our guide. He sal
