Rowe Wrtes Most Interesting ly of His Old Home County, Her Institutions, Etc. Mr. KniTou: Please allow me enough space in your paper to thank the one who was o kiud as to wud uie the Watauga Iem ocrat. I waut to assure him that the paper has been a source of mucb pleasure aud iuttrest iu enabling me to keep iu touch with the uews from old Watau ga which 1 could uot have possi bly gotten otherwise. The recent historical articles written by Mr. L. I). Lowe, ol Bauuer Elk, were very interest ing iudeed. 1 should like to sug gest to Mr. Lowe, that he now give us a further series of articles on the moral, social au l eco nomic progress of the county. There has been marked progress along these lines, of which Mr Lowe is well qualified to speak. I have also been attracted through your paper to the in terest manifested by the Watau ga people In the edm-ation of the boys and girls Watauga's most valuable asset. As one who was born in the mountains of North Carolina, and in Watauga coun ty (and, by the way, a pretty good place for any one else to be burn, if he cau arrange it thus), 1 can testify that those valleys and hillsides afford something more than simply good water and fresh air. This they haye in ubundauee indeed, but some thing more they afford as gocd material as can be found iu the world for future leadership and usefulness. The only reason why such material is uot in grer demand, is because it is undevel oped. No such insinuation is meant that all the material of which I have spoken, is still iu the "pig iron" state. There have gone from the four walls of the little school houses iu the coves and tops of the hills into the humble but honorable calling of makiug the community better and the homes better and more cheery. Moreover, there are those who have gone on into higher instit u tions of learning, aud whom we now see filling honorably and ef ficiently high positions ol respon sibility. Those schools that are striv ing to give better training than the public schools are able to give, need more appreciation aud support. I have in mind the Ap palachian Training School at Boone, the school at Valle Cru de, and the Lees-McRae .Insitute lor girls at Banner Elk, aud also the Lees-McRae Institute for boys at Plum tree. Thanking you iu advauce for allowing me space iu your paper for what I have said, I am, Most sincerely, J. W. ROWE. Sutton, West Va. Your father, Mr. J. J. Rowe, of Banner Elk, is responsible for the subscnptijn, and we are de lighted to know that it is so gladly received Ed. Indian Killed On Track.

Indeed, this resort of 1 o n g! standing and influence is destiu ed to be of as much importance to the South as Atlantic City is to the North, for it is rapidly ex tending either way, particularly northward, while Cape Henry City is growing southward, the six miles ot saudy bea'-h lying be twecu these points rapidly being buMtup, the only avaiable lots except a enormous prices, to be had back of the beach line and when the new fort is built at Cape Ileury, there will uot be left lor sale a square yard of sand for a distauce of ten miles. Each of these popular resorts has a Ca s'mo and dancing hall, and Yir ginfa Beach the usual amuse m?nt places, a little '"Coney Is land," where, for a nickel onn can "get dizzy" riding the raer ry-go -round or "break his neck" on the toboggan slide or spend it iu one of a dozen different ways, Trhib each night at the dancing pavilion can be witnessed the fa mous "turkey trot." 'bunny hug' and 'tango' which, thousrh frown ed upon by the so-called common paople as "indelicate aud inde cent," yet are not only winked at but indulged in by some of the so-called "best people", many of whom openly defy public opinion and, to an alarming degree are devoid of a sense of delicacy, so much so that the dancing mas ter at the Casino often calls them down with a shrill whistle hnd a loud "stop that or you'll leaye the floor!" while at Ocean View, another popular resort on the Bay uear Norfolk, it is said that at times the ''shameful dunces are so shamefully danced" that the pavilion has had to be closed for a time, especially on Sun days. And yet many of our best people permit their fair daugh ters to visit such places unatten ded except by boyish escorts If some of the young men in our dear old home town, particu larly those who, a short while ao censured your correspond ent for (by way of waruitm ouly) writing up the "harmless doings" of some of our innocent-minded girls il they could see the antics oi many an escort of some of the nice girls here they would not have "jumped ou him with all four feet" but have given him credit for caring bo much for the protection of our girls as those who censured him for writing as any "big brother" would who cared for the soul of his "little sister."

Bingham Writes. j Mr. Euitoh: As I have been I very still a good long wbile rela ! tive to writing a single thing to our county paper, I desire at leat, a Brown said, to say en ough to let the people know I , am still alive. There is a reavon.'however, for 1 my h-iving been so quiet for the ; past three years, at least, und that is, I have been tied down to hard study, oi that which I have always from boyhood wanted to study, viz: the law. and if I had never read it then I would never have been contented in life, even though I should never have a single suit while living. Lile iu this world is lived but once, aud as it is just as necessa ry that we have the different vo cations for the good of the whole as it is for the carpenter to have the different tools with which to build. I think when the Datural inclinations for an honorable calling is discovered in a boy or nirl we should do all within our power to encourge him or her, to go forward and and succeed iu that" calling notwithstanding the advice to the contrury. When I was a boy I was told that there was but one upright aud honest business to follow, and that was farming, quoting the Good Book, That a man should make his bread by the sweat of his face, etc., but didu't say a word about Cain being the first farmer, also murderer from Adam, and Abel the first herd man, and Noah the first and last builder ot an ark like unto that he wascommanded to build and did actually build, aud of course I felt very scrupulous to allow myself totbiukof anything else as being honest work except that of tilling the soil, although my conscience often lashed me for a failure to comply with the in structions which I haye received. Now, the truth is, the first principles have become bo well fixed ou my miud that although 45 years now mark my uge, the time has never been in my life when I lelt better and approved the outside profession othar than ray own, more than when the money kings of Wall Street at tempted to bring ou a panic so as to effect the farming class of our American people, as well as the masses of those of the differ ent vocations of life, and then for the first time in the history of the government the fourgrea test of American brains met in the interest of prosperity, and worthy constituency, and devis ed and put into execution the plans by which prosperity only took on new life and the panic died in the uttempt with its pro moters. There stands Bryan, a lawyer and statesman; Wilson, a stand ing monument to victory wher ever and whenever seen; Daniels, of North Carolina, an editor and a Btatesmun; Macadoo, Secreta ry of the Treasury aud the real doer of things that are bo much needed in times ol greatest trou ble and necessity. This is shown most conclusively in the move to aid the farmers of the South by providing the $30,000,000 of government funds to the use ot the farmers of the Sontb and West, that they may have a chance to move their crops, at a very low rate of interest. So we can readily see that we have a Secretary of the Treasury who actually doss things, not dream them. We only hope that the lives of such men may be spread to the ripe old age ot six score years and nine years, at which age one Mr. McCoy, of St. Paul, No. Ca., has reached, bo that the common peoples' interest may be protected and not just promised. As our school facilities, educa tional opportunities in N. C. and the county have ho much im proved over that of other days, that should aud does make so mucb .tetter and it w ems that we are above all people most blessed in crops, climate, water, and natural resources that we should ol all people be the most thankful to Him who is ever merciful to' all classes even tho' in callings not of ourown appro.
