Dr. Henry Van Dyke has decided hat the na tional ode "America" is partial to sections of the United States in that it does not fetch them into its folds. Believing that the great West ha3 been cheated he proposes the follow ing addition: MONDAY, AUGUST 27, 1906. FORWARD WE GO. A person passing through the west ern part of this state would not re cognize it as the same country Nof twpntv vcars aso were it not for the natural scenery which cannot change There is not a single town between Saiichnrv :inf1 Ashcville but what c.-.f.m tn hp insnircd with a new breath of progress and aggressive rr-?s Tho transformation in some of these towns is wonderful to re fleet upon. Old towns like Morgan ton that have stood unchanged for decades dre now attired in the cos tume of the latest making. New- towns are springing up between the old railway stops and all along the route one is impressed with the wonderful changes that are taking place. Old towns that once reposed peace fully and serenely among the moun tains, apparently awaiting the judgment day. are now hustling, bustling with life and energy. Busi ness men have taken on new spirit, moneyed men have invested lavishly j and the results are not to hunt for. When we remember that this transformation is going on all over North Carolina we can begin to realize the wonderful transition that is taking place in our state. In only a few years at this rate there will be a wonderful story to tell of growth. i All of which is highly gratifying to reflect upon. "I love thy inland seas, Thy capes and giant trees, Thy rolling plains, Thy canyons wild and deep, Thy prairies' boundless sweep, Thy rocky mountains Steep, Thy fertile mains. Thy domes, thy silvery strands, Thy Golden Gate that stands Afront the West. Thy sweet and crystal air, Thy sunlight everywhere, Oh land beyond compare, . 1 love thee best." The above lines warble along in pretty fair style, to be written with out anv inspiration, but we are op- l.osed to ever having them incor rnmtpvi into our national ode. Were - we to attempt to weave into the national song every precinct of the country and every peculiarity, of the people of the different sections we should have a song of such length that it could not be sung at one sitting." Lots of things might de serve mention and a contemporary suggests the following, with refer ence to the Beef Trust, Rockefeller, tha Quay monument, and the .Pana ma canal, as being worthy of incor poration: "Hail, land of gas and gush, Corn cakes and Indian mush, I love thee still. Land of the mastedon, Head weighs most a ton, Quaffed up his Helicon .And got his fill. BLACKBURN DOOMED.

"Which shall put the other to the stake, not as martyrs, to be sure, but for witchcraft (political) is interest ing to North Carolinians just now, as the Tar Heel's star, E. Spencer Blackburn, has the President's ear just now, because he sees in "Dick" Hackett too formidable a Democratic opponent unless Teddy gives him more pie to "dish out," and Teddy is tumbling to the racket to save "de ate" district to the Republicans." But let it be remembered that it will take more than the President s car to save Blackburn and "de ate," to the Republican party. In fact, Loth ears, a nose, a pair of eyes and in fact the entire head of the Presi dent would not be sufficient to save the "Drummer Boy." He is doomed to beat another retreat.

IS REGAINING LOSTFORTUIIES And the Kindly Regard and Con fidence of his Fellew-men Alter Treatment at the Keeley Insti . tute of Greensboro to Which he 7 Came a "Worthless, Aimless, Hopeless Being." The Keeley Institute, Greensboro, N. C: My estimate of the merits of your institution and my grateful apprecia tion of the ever courteous, consider ate, kindly treatment received pX the hands of manager, physician, and all connected, while I was a patient therein can be gathered from the fol lowing statement of facts : When on the 30th day of December, 1902, 1 sought your place as a refuge from the most voracious and damnable of demons, I was a worthless, aimless, hopeless being; I was not myself; I was not a man; my wife and child ren pitiable indeed; and want and penury lingered about my home to be driven away only by kindred and triends. I came back to them re stored to normal condition, with the thirst and craving for strong drink absolutely gone, and day by day am regaining lost fortunes and the kind ly regard and' confidence of my fellow-men.. Where there was wreck rnd ruin there is now a rehabilita ted happy home, and wife and child ren and other loved ones now gladly gather about my hearthstone and join me in everlasting gratitude and thanksgiving for the wonderful re cemption that through the- Keeley In stitute of Greensboro, N. C, has been wrought the saving of me from a drunkard's life., a drunkard's grave, and a drunkard's hell. A. H. WALSTON. Speight's Bridge, N. C, Nov. 15, 1904. It is terrible to reflect that we have reached the stage of the pion eers who were forced to carry their firearms to church to protect their wives and children against the rav fges of the Indians, but it does ap pear that we are not far distant from that state. Three assaults on white women in South Carolina within two weeks, five in Georgia and almost the same story in other Southern states, calls for some action. With the At lanta Journal we believe that we have come to the pass where our women should arm themselves and learn to use their arms. It has almost gotten to that a woman is in danger when ever she leaves the shadow of the home and oftentimes in the home, against the onslaughts of these black beasts. Our women should learn to shoot and when they are attacked they should shoot and shoot to kill. , This from our neighbor and friend the Wilmington Messenger: "The Charlotte News grows m- cuisitive thusly: To the Industrial News, so fond of fathoming the mysteries of this world, we would ask, when do a pullet be come a hen? Frankly we do not know. We would, however, beg leave to tell our friends that the notion that every lepublican is more than apt to be an authority on chickens is an opinion that grows out of a distorted and pre- iudiced view of the situation, we pass it up. Industrial News. Or oversight of the fact that the negro has been disfranchised, and so is no longer an active member of that party." And pray tell us just where that struck? When it is remembered that the property loss at Valparaiso alone was over $200,000,000 and the death list many hundreds, we can begin to ap preciate the extent of the terrible dis aster. Funds are pouring in from all over the world. Charlotte is a mighty good part of that world and it is up to her to send her part and thereby lend a helping hand to tfc.3 destitute. She has a record for char itableness and that record must be kept. Arlington News. Special The News. Arlington, Aug. 27.

Wonder if Blackburn has gotten ever the shock coming from the laiowledge that two of his most val iant cohorts, Samuels and Adams, will not be with him in the campaign this fall? It is to be feared that they will get a rather checkered concep tion of the proceedings. How delightful it must be to the Presidejit to reflect upon . prosperity and peace especially peace.
