also notice that there is still an

RAIL ROAp.
Mr. Fditoh: After you so kind
ly opened the columns of your pa
per, as a medium through which
the citizens of Watauira could die
cusa the railroad question, very
little has been said.
It certainly seems the people,
some of them, at least, are asleep
to that most important ques
tion. But I suppose it is natural
for men to sleep. While the Isnv
elites slept, the I'huistians cora-
nletelv demolished the black-
smith trade in the land of Israel
bv carrying off their mattocks
and coulters, axes and goods,
and left them nothing but a file
Is it possible thnj the farmers of
Watauga are doing likewise by
selling to lumber companies all
their fine marketable timber for
almost nothing and then quit
their farming and take a yoke of
oxen and help the saw-mill men
on their paths of destruction?
I do not know anything about
the condition of affaire in the wefl
tern part of the county, but such
is the case down here. I do not
say all the fanners are commit
ting such depredation on the fine
timber, but to say the least, the
sound of the axe and the whistle
of the engine are heard in the
land, and the tall pine trees are
being brought low. fcome man
will say. "What is that to you?
I paid for my land and timber
and have an absolute right to do
as 1 please with my own." That's
all true, but after you take down
all vour valuable timber, will
the honevsuckle and the hazel
brush, the laurel and the ivey of
fer sufficient inducement to some
company to build a rairoad?
Another man will say: "1 op
pose any proposition that car
ries a tax with it." We all do, if
we can get a road in any other
hoiiorable way. "An ox is harder
to skin than a mouse, but the
hide pays." Why should we ob
ject to paying a few dollars tax
as an inducement for a rail-road,
when it would furnish a home
market for the over-production
of the farm products, besides very
greatly increasing the valuation
of real estate?
Mr. Editor, I shall not attempt
to discuss the subject of railroad
any farther, for I do not feel com
petent to do that. I only wish to
hollow "helloo'at the 'phone and
let others do the talking. I be
lieve if a few dozen of our best ed
ucated men would helpCapt. IjOV-
ill talk, railroad, and a few dozen
join Joe T. Ray on the subject of
farming, the whistle of the loco
motive and the thunder of the
dynamite would call our young
men back from the coal fields of
Virginia, and the peddlers of spec
tacles and 'venders of patent med
icines would return to the farm
and be brighter lights in the fir
mament of commercial geogra
phy. ,

It's Nature Tells What It la.
William Jennings Bryan tells
anecdote that is as illuminating
on a much discussed political sit
uation as it is amusing in itself
Mr. Bryan says he was told the
following story:
A negro debating society was
wrangling on the question as to
'Which is the mother of a chick
en the hen that lays the egg or
the one that hatches it?" The
chairman was holding that the
hatcher of the egg is the mater
nal parent when an old brother
on a rear Beat across arose and
said: '"Suppose it is a duck egg
who is the mother.duck, the hen
that hatched it?" This argument
seemed unanswerable but the
chairman scratched his head and
said:
"Ducks are not befo' de house
Chickens am de tpjestion." Mr.
Bryan at once made a politica
application of the story and re
plied:
If the Democratic party lays a
policy and a Republican presi
dent hatches it out, who is the
mother of the chicken? T am
grateful to the old brother on the
rear seat who put the query a
bout the duck for it's a duck egg,
by considering the nature uf the
policy we can readily discover
who is the mother the Demo
cratic hen that laid it or the re
publican hen that hatched it.
