CHARLOTTE DAILY. OBSERVER, JANUARY 27, 1903. c "r Fmm a' GStfs NHe Ek DY IDrt CLIFTON I1INSH.1W "As KIpHngr "ever heard the voices el the Eait caning' so ever nemw the maglo West to me the most mur ine; of places. I do not know trom v -whence came this charm, much reading of Bret Harte, Ham jln Garland end Owen "VV.Urt.er, iwrhiDa. It !wa an In heritance, from ancestry ; of mine, who' In slow -caravans went from Car olina across the - plains, when the land was a wilderness, and who with toll, much valor, and undaunt ed hope as to the future possibilities of the country, helped to make It the mighty county pf to-day . They were but mere handful m the number .who left our Southern States to seek a fortune in that golden country of 4. A. promise, but It Is satd whether fickle o t. - r - fortune cme id iiicbb cuuijiciuvib v not, mey mil aia mr uuiy wtu. Howsoever came this charm, as I satd .before, it still held me in Its thrall as w journeyed from St. Louis . tl (Kansas City. The -day was almost pent -when we reached this city of teeming . activity, and the bronze vdusk shadows were but faintly seen for glorious aftermath of splendor, the setting sun had flung to the world U its death. The 'long orange quiv ering rays held imprisoned the waters of the Missouri, from out of which, In inky contrast, the sand bars gleam ed. Early the next morning we left Kansas City by the Santa Fe for Rose Hill, a. vJlkuse. almost across the State. The bluffs were soon left behind us, and as the day wore oa. the hills and rocks receded, and we were fast speeding across the prairie. We pass ed hundreds of cattle, standing in the fields, or -gathered about the round ' pools in lieu of creeks "cricks." s they call them huge piles of hay with large stone sheds built over them, beautiful farmhouses, -well-kept looking hedges about them, and barns of a brownish stone, pecu " liar to the country, or of red and white fetrfped tin, like big blocks of pepper mint candy. All this -was-interest-ing to us, of "the hill country." The scarcity of "timber" impressed us; here and there small growth, and at our Journey's end the sight of pecan groves near the Oklahoma border. At the neatly kept stations the pas sengers might luncn rrm high re volving stools, by a counter on which were sandwiches of prodigious size, and It the waiter hurried, one might have eggs fried "up" or "down," as he chose. To the loud beating of cymbals -without the "eating house" the hungry customer at his lunch, while others attracted by" the noise - Joined the throng about the coun ter. , Nor were the passengers any less Interesting than the landscape. Thes Western cars are always crowded, particularly the chair ears. On one part of our Journey the early art there were many bound for Colorado, i In search of health, but Judging from their emaciated appearance and hol . low cheeks, never to return. And, em our return trip, one Tennessee -woman, praying with rvtrv gasp to be able to get home once more with the "white plague" as her enemy, went to the station, attended by nurses, bravely attempting to start home. Home magic word! With a gasp and moan she had gone to the Home 'Beautiful, and five children in distant Tennessee were bereft of a mother. There were Salvation Army" lassies ' aboard in. their simple garb, and bound ion missions of helpfulness, fitock men. club women of austere mien, with bulgy looking manuscripts,'' Indian students en route to Lawrence to school. There were four brides on, two -were pretty and attractively attired, two were Indiais. The younger Indian girl had married an elderly ranchman, (for their lands ad joined and he had married her to make, them all his. an enterprising passenger found out) who in honor of the occasloni wore a gaily knotted red handkerchief about his throat, and a .wide felt hat of gray, with a red band. The other bride was eld erly, and she had married a ranch man, young and rather good looking.. 3t seemed one of "life's little Ironies' that they hould have thus been mat ed. With utter disdain, the elderly groom looked on one of the bridal couples near him, making merry over a box of delicious bon bons. With a flourish he produced a paper bag and handed It to his youthful bride. The evident delight with which she hail ed his gift-7-an enormous ham sand wich showed that be had not erred , in choosing it., Nottobe outclassed In this gallantry, the youiw &iuimi wung himself oft at the next station and returned with a cocoanut, which. with the aid of a ponderous looking . knife, he opened and handed half to Ms elderly wife. At one of the smaller stations an elderly woman, plainly attired and loaded with packages, asked permis sion to sit in the chair beside me. Just vacated. As she settled herself comfortably, she asked, "Alight I ask from where you hall?" "North Carolina." "Shake," ehe cried ecstatically. "I'm from there it's God's own coun try." . . We shook hands gravely. She had come West with her sons, who were doing well. But she. was "hankerin ' to see a clear stream once more, the fierce winds mode her afraid and pave her the "neuralgly," ehe was afraid of the "cyclone cellars," and she. wanted to smell the pines. Ahl how she wanted to see " trees, not a few, but miles of them. Poor old homesick soul, long ing for a. whiff of -the pines and a glimpse of the land where the summer sun doth shine!" .- About as interesting as the patriotic old Carolina woman, was a lank, sal . low youth, with a couple of grey hounds which he exercised in front tt our windows at each station. He fltayed with them In the baggage ear. We were told by a friend that theses dogs were worth three hundred dollars each, and had won much money.for their owners on the Blackwell tracks. On the racing cards which he got for us, as he said, the dogs had such picturesque names. Bn San Francisco racing greyhounds is a popular sport, one thousand at '4ne time entered. What attractive eVVames they bore: "Talk-to-Me." -rtilh Eyes," "Lady Carmine." Wilful."..: VPrlnce Albert" and "Never eettle Girl wre a few of them . ' 1 It was 11 o'clock the night we reached Boss Hill, and the' broad . , ipralrle glistening in the vnoonlight looked like a bnwtl expanse of snow. Purely there must br, more stars, twinkling above a prairie town than elsewhere. Rose Hill is a settlement of Friends, j and a most charming, progressive little village. There are many Caro linians here,- or of Carolina descent. ! A number of Coxes - live here, who came originally from Guilford county. All the roads are Doarded with a rather high, perfectly trimmed hedge - of osage orange, forming In the fields en impenetrable barrier rer the cattle. All these roads lead north and south, rait and west, crossing when a mile is reached. All day long cars load ed with cattle, hurried by on their way to some of the immense "pack ing houses." Here we visited a kinsman, Mr. H. C. Eta ley. orisrlnallv of Chatham county, who has an immense stock farm. W hen Mr. Staley "settled" here fcl very nearest neighbor lived eight miles away. , He is the owner of targe numbers of draft horses, and also line reIstered frencbrlm- ported coach horses, to buy which, men come from all parts of the Unit ed States. The largest of these horses was The Dragon" who was superb, weighing two thousand pounds, and eighteen hands high. He seemed like the horse the giant rode In our fairy childhood stories. "The Dra gon" is a grandson of "Dunham's Ureat Brilliant." Another Immense horse is "The Dutchman," who weighs 140 pounds and is almost as many hands high as- "The Dragon." The prices for the horses on this ranch range from seven ihundred. and fifty dollars, on upward in the thous- .anas. It is most characteristic of Caro lina's sons and daughters, in this far away State, to. T'ani trees about tnetr homes. Home nourished, the most died. But in the scrubby pine, or gnarled apple tree, the good house wife taw green memories ef a chllJ- hood home In the hlUs. - The Walnut river which looked like a respectable slied cseek. overflowed the really beautiful city of Wichita to such an extent that ,cople went about in 'boats. The Iudian name "Wichita," meaning "T.ia Peerless Princess," is well adaptej to ' this queenly city. Here we witnessed a football game between the students of the safcenlncent Friends University, whose buildings and equipment were made possible through the generosity of Mr Davis; -of Lawrence, Kan., a cousin of Messrs. W. A. and L. H. Blarfr. of Winston-Salem, and Fair mont College. Such enthusiasm I have .never seen display eJ. People there were at the game, "to clsn for their side." so old who If In the South would hive had to have been rolled In a chair. From the tiniest tots to the oldest of men and women, clap ped and screamed the "college yells." There are beautiful homes In Wich ita and trees which - to my fam ished tree-loving eyes, teemed like an oasis in a dsert. Not so very large were these trees, but symmet rlcal. Owing to the forestry move ment, many parts of the State are now being set out in trees.- The corn crop is something to he marvell ed at. From "dewey eve" until darkness drove them home the largest wagons I ever saw, each drawn by Jour lm mease horses, hauled" corn to the grain elevator. Such fields of coral Only once have 1 seen uch fields, and that in Vermillion county. Illinois, for there we . rede a mile through the corn! . One man apolo getically stated, that owtng to the great scarcity of labor, he -only put in eighty acres of corn. They asKea me about their prices as averaging with ours in North Curo'ina. On corn crops I was not thoroughly post ed, but I. dlj not belle ire ours had ever gotten down to nine cents a bushel, as it did once out there. It is really appalling the scarcity of hejp in the West and the "servant ques tion" Is as grave a subject with the women, as politics Is usually with men. Oas stoves, washing machines, anything to lighten labor in the kitchen they consider an ... absolute necessity. Fortunately the, Kansas farmer has neither rocks nor stump to contend with, and the modern "stump puller" which was the delight of the soul, to some of the farmers In the other States we visited, would, be useless to him. Neither does he need any fer tilizer, for the sou ls" Exceedingly fertile. ' ! Perfect roads, a- fine system of ru ral free delivery, good telephone sys tem, over which tthe people "visit quite a' bit," libraries in the smallest towns, and an enthusiastic civic pride, are all a far cry. to the time, not so long if reckonel bv years, when William Allen Whit wrote the editorial. "What is the Matter With Kansas?" that awakened her from her lethargy. In one' small town . of about one thousand Inhabitants whlo1! we vislt ed,i to show the "progressiveness" of the State, there was an nuditorlum of a seating capacity of ffteen hun dred. Litterateurs of note have lec tured here, noted musicians played, and prima donas warbled forth gold en notes for golden" notes, to a crowd ed house, for far and near people had come. One thing here In this little town interested us vastly: it was a modern house with nothing unusual about if at a distance, but neir it, one discovered n front the porch where the architect had intended an oval window, the picture of a man painted to fit In this window. ' He was a member of the Legislature and this was but a fitting recognition of his greatness. And yet there are those who contend that variety is an essen tially feminine trait. ' Many odd names attrvtej our at tention, In our ' long drives through the country where beautiful sky and the land seemed to be always meeting and yet always receding "Shoup & Shull," for . instance on a sign by the roadside at one of the crossings. Mr. Bump, admonished his" custom ers to "get fv humph nd buy shoes of Loren Bump." "Little '& Big ger Brothers." had a "feed -barn;" "A. Darkey" very appropriately black ed and mended rhoes; "Nero" with unconscious air. fiddled ar of old, while a few doors below lilm "A. Du mas" peddled books, instead of writing them. Lord Scully, of England, who died recently, owned thousands of acres of land near here. One man near Dougla. Kan., I think It was was tending four thous and hogs for the son of a wealthy sugar, kin. This gentleman only allowed his son the paltry'sum of thirty thousand a year! The counties of Kansas are divided Into townships of six by six miles, whf-rh are sub-divided lnt. thirty-six sections six hundred and forty acres to a section. Each of these Is divided In to one hundred and sixty acres, they In turn to eighty ecres, and they to forty. The erhool district Is about three miles square. The Fiote school fund pays about sixty cents per annum to every one of school age. the nicely painted country school w:th modern desks and blackboards. Lining from six to nine months. There are many coal mines In Kan sas, and surface coal at some of the places we visited. We met many educators, politicians and minister of all Jennm'nations. and we thought the country beautiful, und the peoplo nwrt hospitable, but like the old Carolina woman, "cy clones an lack of tree, an' Mme-; t one water to drink, an' never a jrool-lzd roc to throw at your nelthbor's hen." s she expressed It, make one think that sfter all, home Is te3t. . . ' We found nrthcrn low very dif ferent from Kansas rolling priiric. The invariable hedges were of arbor- vi;ae.-or willow trees and like Kan fis the farm houses wto rnoft at- tractive. The god- roaJ and high priced lands enable the firmer to motor or drive In the ,tles to do their shopping. Des Moines, some one said, wi made up of retired farmers. Some one else suggested "tired farmers." At Des Moines, 11 lisca, Chariton and many of the smallar places there were Carolinians. The place which was the most at tractive to n wna 10 w a. xaiis, quaint old resort, where many Eng lish neoDle. Vermonters. Canadians. and Southerners are gatheied. ThlsJ place is altuated on a slight promi nence, moated on three sides by 'can yons of limestone, -which the provi dence of nature, by some internal " tnrhanrf Yum thrown to the surface, leaving many odd caves, grottoes and fissirrea. vThrea trunk ll-ij railroads pass through and the beautiful Jowa river, then, solidly froxen over, stuou between the rock palisades, with vividly greea fir trees, a most strik ing contract to the undulating prairie. This river la a source of undeniable pleasure to the fishermen in the spring and fall, for indigenous f Its water are Jack salmon, pike, picaerei, percn. hlmclc- silverv an.l sreen rock and striDed baas. Prairie chickens, snipe and woodcock are here for the sports tsen. ' ' ' A half hour's ride from Iow Falls brings you to heavi' timoerea iana, where lumbering in nicKory nu wm mir is Ann.

The river winds in and out, with much ieauty I pf natural arrangement. If the cow Is the "mortgage Ufter of Missouri, It seems that it should be of Iowa, but "hogs," one book on Iowa Insists, spells the greatest In dustry of the State. It Is really worth a trip to Iowa to taste the de liriously sweet, -golden butter. Sweet potatoes are worth twenty-five cents a pound, aometlmes eighteen, and ev en leas over three dollars a bushel while Irish potatoes are but twenty fl int n huhl. when identlful. Sweet potatoes are considered the piece de resistance of a "company dinner," in the vegetable line, but If some of those Iowa housekeepers could taste some of our sweet pota toes, with the sugar exuding from thm.

The contract Includes the build ing of a number of concrete cinder pits about 100 feet long, which will greatly increase .the facilities of the yards. About 100 locomttives coal at Spencer dally. The Southern has made appropriations for a large two story brick office and storage build-, Ihg xrhtrtl will be erected as soon as the finances of the company will per mit. It was the purpose of the Southern official to . begin work on the office building last summer, but the work was delayed on account of the income of the road being reduced. Work by the contractors on the pres ent Improvements at Spencer is now being delayed on account cf the non arrival of material. It will require three to four months.

Draper, who was mortally shot through the lungs by the officer, lies in Rowan jail In a desperate condition. So close was the range of the officer when he shot Draper that the clothes of the latter caught tire from the pistol of the officer, and It is said that he fled by the light pf his burning clothes. Draper Is the same negro that at tempted to end the life of Chief of Police Julian and Officer Eagle, of Salisbury, some moh'th ago.
