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. , Z.

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.
