Watauga Democrat 1. C. IMnrs, Editor nd Proprietor Thursday, Dec. 21, 1905. Christinas is almost here onw more, and while the lit" tie ones are thinking of little, save Santa Clause and his ex pected visit, many of us who are more, mature, are think ipg of other things. We teel today that if we could go back to last Christmas and live the year again that is now about to close, we might greatly improve on it. We can recall harsh words, unkind feelings, thoughts and mis takes, that we'd like to ex change for those less so, but It's too late. Perhaps they re netted but little notice from those around us, each one pressing on in life's careless march. None ofushave found the way all sunny nd flower strewn, yet most jf us have found on life's.road some sun shine and heard glad bird Sopot? and smelted the modest Violets that here and there blossom by the way. Some have bad day by day a strug gle for bread, perhaps paus ing here and there only long euoogh to throw a mound of earth o'er a bvedlone who had found the way too hard; then turn and pirk up life's burden and march wearily on. Others around us look as if no care had ever come to them, but who knows but that while smiles ;)layo v e r their faces, heart strings are breaking. Each one has a "skeleton in his closer" If it 'is not one thing it iaanothe We are all weavers, and it win ne iouna.wnen Ueath'a fey fingers clip the webs from the loom many threads of sor row, pain and gladness have been woven into each. After all it may be that thingR are more equally divided than it sometimes seems, and what ever our Jcondition or sur roundings may be, let us srrive.to make some one hup py this Christmas. Don't throw a shadow over a child's heart. There are some in onr midst who have not had as abundantly of t h e good things of this world as perhaps yon and I ha re. Let's make them happy, and give thoseless fortunate a glori ous good time. Let's see that Santa Claus is good to them this time, for all too soon they will find life a stern reali ty. It)may not be kuown by many or ouraders that the Oreat Wall of China was ever such a massive and mag nificent structure as it was It was built 213yea rs before our era for the purpose of keep ing out the fierce and war like Tartars and was 25 feet high and 40 feet thick, and 1,200 miles long. On top six norses mignt he ridden . m . . abreast. It was built of dabs of stone perfectly hewn nnd fitted and toppd with hrirks, Imagine- the work and expense involved in this massive task. Estimating labor at the same rate this wall must have rest as much as all of the rail- roads in the United States. It has been said that all the old classic seven wonders, which are all cone now except one. the great pyramid, were toys when compared to it. It is estimated that the material used in it would build a wall 01 IftU, UlgU HUH IWU IPHl thick around the glob. Yet this was done in 20 years without debt or bond. The Whtauf Tnrnplte. It now seems that the IVa tnugn Turnpike, "extending from Blowing Rock to Edge mont, the terminal of the C & Railway, is sure to be built in the near future. The undertaking is indeed a pretty heavy one, but when such enterprising," public; spir ited men as those at Blow ing Rock, who are heading this enterprise, take a stand something is sure to happen. Mr. Barber, President of the C. &' N. Railway, will build eight miles of the road and donate it to the Co., which now has the. principal part of the money subscribed for its completion. The books are now open for subscription, and to raise the remainder re quired, should be quite an ea sy task, as the road will not only be a great benefit to the town of Blowing Rock, but to the entire eonnty.. It is the intention of the company to haye the road completed by June 1st, 190G Sto-k in the road is bound to be a paying investment, and we hope the little amount yet to be rain ed will begotten without dif ficulty. It seems that the appoint ment of a United S.tates Mar. ska I for the Western District of North Carolina is indeed a problem for the pie dispens ers to solve. Congressman Blackburn has endorsed one Mr. Adams, but State Chair man Rollins, who opposes, it seems, everything favo.ed by Blackburn, opposes Adams and favors the re appoint ment of ex-Marshal Millikan, whose time expired on batur day last. Tbdispatchesfrom the Capital are at such varir ance that it is hard to tell who will get the plumb.

Mutual trustees probably bad in mind the idea of try- ing the efh'cience of pouring Standard Oil on ''the troub led waters'' when they elect him. Charlotte Nows.

A few days ago Capt. E, P. Lovill of Boone sent by express a beautiful Bword to Lieutenant W. A. Copeland, at Lakeside Cal j iforniu. The sword was presented to Lieutenant Copaland by Ccrap any B ol the 10th Michigan Reg iment, in the civil war of which he was a member. At the battle of ChickumangaLieutenantCope land whs captured and his sword taken from him. At the recent Confederate Reuuion in Boone Capt. Lovill nee diugji sword to drill the old veterans, sent o Mr. W. C. Coffey to borrow one, and noted the flue quality ot the one in question also the inscription and at once aetjabout to restore it to Mr. Copeland or his children. Af t e r some correspondence through Governor Glenn with the Governor of Michigan Lieutenant Copeland was located in Califor nia and the sword forwarded to him. He expressed himself as ex ceedingly groat fnl to Capt. Loyill and others tor their kindness in restoring to him his sword and offered to pay them liberally, hut ol course they do not think of mak ng any charge for a kindness like this, in fact it is a source of grf at pleasure to them to do it. Mr. Copeland does not remember to whom he surrendered neither does Mr. Coffey remember how the sword came into his poses sioii.

In this case it was the much-abused President of the United States. The way the Oentlemnn from the Palmetto State scored his Excellence was a caution! He declared that the President wa- patriotic and meant to do right, but that he was so on baying his own way that he was wont to trample the sacred constitution underbid unhallowed feet in accouip lishing his desires.' The. Sen ator dealt out some prett warm invective and, as is his custom, it was delivered from the sbouider, without any apologj. h to man or beast Charlotte News.

"Indigent" Men "In4iff it Some of the papers of the State seem to thfnk that the hospital fortheinsaoeBhould be open for the rich as well as (he poor and give as their reasons that the institutions ate run by tin taxes of the lien and poor alike. "Weed uiir this, and a o are the county homes of the State and in a-cordaoce with thir argument any one should be admitted to theruunty home, because their taxes ran these Institutions. It is regretted that the rich insane have no place in this Stnte at which to receive treatment. We agree with these brethren in the statement that very few have the means to pay for treatment at a hospital, and we further claim that if not they come under the provis ions of the law and will be admitted to the State hos pital. We have a case here in our jail at the present time. A woman who is insane and owns a little farm, but she also has twosmall children to live off that farm, and if this property was turnd into money there would not he enough to keep her a year in a private institution.
