Houston, Tex., Chronicle. There is something admir able and inspiring in the State pride of the people of North Carolina, and their pride in anddeyotion to their State is justified by ber histo ry and by tbe achievements of North Carolinians from tbe Revolution until this good day. As one of the thirteen colonies which rebelled a- trainst British tyranny she was the theatre of bloody war, and her sons bore well heir part in that memora- ble struggle. Recent historical inrestiga ion has proved that upon ler soil was framed and pro claimed at Mecklenburg tbe first Declaration of, Indepen denee, and in the conflict which followed upon the lat ter Declaration at Philadel phia many a son of - North Carolina sealed with blood bis devotion to the princi pies which her people bad been tbe first to proclaim. When independence bad been acnteyen ner sons stood as peer of the proudest in the proudest in the halls of leg islatlon. and were potent fac tors In shaping the policy and destiny ol tbe y o u n g republic, and for the existence of which they were in such great end honorable meas ore responsible. V Daring the formative stage of the national government, when there was a struggle be tween Intellectual giants rep resenting the respective con eentione for a strong central ized government on one side and a government wherein tbe autonomp of tbe States and their unsurrendered sov ereignty should be tbe guid ing and controlling policy and principle on tbe other, North Carolida statesmen stood always for jibe latter contention, the true faith and the basic principle of the Re1 public conceived and created by the pnti iotism and geni us of Jefferson and Madison and their great corn-patri ots. North Carolina always ad tiered to lofty political ideals Her representatives in Con cress and her.benators were men of the highest intellectu al and moral standard, and she sent to represent her in the national councils none but men worthy of herhistor ic and lofty political and so rial traditions. It would have been as impossible for a man with a tainted record or . up on whose name there rented even tbe suspicion of dishon or to have secured a seat as Representative or Senator from tbe Old North State as it would for an unpardoned sinner to have entered heav en. In that old State there have always been and. are. yet maintained the loftiest socia standards find traditions. The meretricious and demor alizing commercialism which so dominates other sections has found no lodgment there, Money there is not tbe meas uro of merit. No man buys bis way Into society there. The people hold to the honor able and exalted, ancient so cial faiths, and there is to be 'J onnd an axistoci acy . not of wealth, but of breeding and grace and social culture, which stands in hereditarj and perpetual rebellion n gainst the social despotism of the dollar. The people of North Carol! na not only profess devotion o the true principles of Re publican government, but are ever ready to make good heir professions, and "hen their rights were disregarded and aggression upon tbe soil of their beloved State was threatened, they rose as one man to defend their homes and firesides, and historical statistics prove that North Darolina seut more soldiers to battle in proportion to population than . were ever furnished by any State or na tion in all the annals of ha man history. Groat as was her contribu tlon to the armies of t b e South in numbers, tbe quail ty of her soldiery was equal ly as remarkable. Her peo pie cherish with pardonable and Imperishable pride tbe record of North Carolina's sons Iron 1861 to 1865, and on a monument recently erec ted in that State in perpetu atlon of the memory of their matchless deeds there Is gra ven the inscription, sustain ed by historical records: First at Bethtl, Farthest at Get tysburg, and last at Appo mattox. To read that Inscription thrills every man capable of appreciating heroism and de votion to duty, like a bugle call. First in the openlmr bat tie. farthest in the advance up the historic heights of Get tysburg, and . last . to y iold when tbe great drama closed in gloom, but yet in glory at Appomattox is a record up on which North Carolina may well rest through all the changing yoars, it stands un matched. and unmatchable, and the impartial historian of the future will write North Carolina down as ehe de serves. The devotion ot her people to which they testified by their blood In time ol war was not more remarkable and scarcely mote admira ble than has bees that dis played in tbe well-nigh as t ry ing times of peace. Though her fields were laid waste, the homes of ber people destroy ed, her industries .prostra ted, and anguish, sorrow un speakableand poyerty dire kept watch and ward by ev ery hearthstone, yet her chil dren did not forsake her . in tbe hours ot her darkness and desolation, but facing Ja future that seemed hopeless, out of very love for their old mother they have redeemed and delivered her f r o ro the band of the spoiler, and she is now a land of prosperity in peace and plenty smiling. Grand old State! The home of a brave, faithful, glorious people, who love liberty bet' ter than lite, who bold unse- ducedto the. political and social teachipgs and tradi tious of their, fathers, who have in council hall and on battle field made luminous the pages of history, whose sons in her delense have "trod the road to dusty, death as to a festival, and walerei tbe roots of the tree ol Con stitutional Government with heir heroic blood. Admitting no political guilt asking pardon of no man or no power with conscienc es void of offense in the past and trusting yet in the God of their jathers, they have re builded their waste places, re stored their broken fortunes, regained their political su pretuacy and glorying in her past, rejoicing in the abun dant prosperity of ber pres ent, with tbe song of the hus bandman, the roar of tbe fur naces the hum of the spindle and the whirr of the loom, they are heralding the trinra phant march of North Caro lina toward a future which shall be worthy of her richest and noblest historic and hero ic traditions.

Bruner, Secreta ry to the State Board of Ag riculture, has recently return ed from a visit to Blowing Rock. Yesterday he was over flowing with memories of tbe pleasures and delight he ex perienced there. He talked of Blowing Rock as a happy place, where new joys are known and where the grand eur of uature makes a .man who is used only to prose, speak poetry and utter senti ment from a depth of feeling that he never knew before. It was Blowing Hock with Mr. Bruner yesterday. He bad Blowing Rock in his heart, and as he spoke there was Blowing Rock in his eyes as well as In his voice. And, without an added tint, here is what Mr. Bruner said of Blowing Rock: This appellation is a mis nomer, True, it's significance comes about by the freaks of tbe winds, which still blow where thej lietetb. When they blow from the valley north ward and strike the face of the rocky cliffs overhanging ing the "Globe" they curl outward and upward, A ker chief or small object tossed over at such a time is twirled back by the breeze, hence the name Blowing Rock. But how lean and bow mea ger. how tamo and meaning less when applied to that sur passing spectacle spread out before the beholder as be stands upon the rockl There is nothing in tbe whole length of tbe Appalachian chain to surpass it, and few of its ii vals are comparable to it. For more than twenty years 1 have traveled to view it a- gain and again. It's charms are ever new and engaging. One day a German scient 1st. full of learning aud truv el stood by me on the rock, viewing for the first time this marvelous scene. His eyes ravished with the mugniti ceoce of the landscape, turn ed hither and yon; he drew deep into his lungs great drafts of the raritied air as he gazed in rapture upon the towering piles of blue. What do you think of it?' I asked. There was no lesponse: he seemed in derp meditation and fully absorbed by the vis ion before him. After a time I again broke the silence and ventured once more the ques tion: What do you think of it?' Without lifting his eyes and speminorlv in soliloauv he said: cj w - "I have traveled the world over. I !baye beheld all Its wonders. I bave viewed the Himalayas from India's dis tant strand; the lof t!ert raoun tains in any land; I bare seen tbe Alps lifting their icy crest scintillatingintothe ether of Italian sky. I have looked upon the Andes when they seemed to thrust aside tbe very stars of heaven in their lofty ambitions, but this scene! It's sublimity is profoun, its grandeur awe-in spiring, its magnificence inde scribable! Tbe lines of purple and blue drawn by nature's deft hand aeainst the paler J sky soothev Jhe eye and . ; fall Ike a benediceion, upon tbe soul, . filling it with restful- ness with peace. "There is but one word Jo the German language; there is but one word in the Eng- ish language, there is but one word in any language to describe it-" 'What is it. Quick, what is th word" I exclaimed. "I have said there is hot one word in any language to describe it-" "Give me that word, quick, I cried. "That word is that word I haye forgotten." True, no word or words can truly portray the vision. A Raphael or a Michael An- gelo could put part nf it on canvass, but no canvass can tell it all. There Is but one way to get it. Go and ee it as it is.

The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
