Verily the South land is loom
. nn I dident realize bow
!u"iny until I visited North
Sabama last . week,' and with
v own eyes saw the wonder
ful growth of new towns and
tie prosperity of the old ones.
Millions have been.i added to
ier wealth. in. the last two or
three years, and millions more
ara coining- There is no let np
in her progress. When a little,
old fa siioned village like Flor
eace rises from 1,200 people to
7 000 within eighteen months.
ana builds furnaces and foun
dries, and factories and colleges,
and her taxable property in
creases from $500,000 to ?3,000,
000 it all seems like a dream.
This does not include, any of the
numerous works in construction
among which is a cotton mill of
53,000 spindles. It would take
half a column to enumerate all
of her industries anil those in
construction. Money flows in
and around her as free as water
and it takes three national
banks to transact her financial
fcusiut S3. It seemed to me that
iverytody was rich, judging
from the beautiful houses and
jiaes of her people. Every
There is heard the sound of the
hammer and the saw. Streets
ire being graded, for electric
ars, hills dug down and hollows
filled up. The town grows so
fait that the city fathers can't
feep np with it; can't grade the
tew 'streets nor pave the side
walks. It is yet a city of mag-
Dificeht structure, and will soon
bs opened for educational pur
poses. Sectarian colleges are
now tha order of the day; and
seem to prosper more than any
other. One thing I saw at Flor
ence gave me especial comfort.
The wagon factory that is turn
ing out thirty first-class wagons
every cay, ana will soon In
crease ita work to fifty. Ever
since the war we have paid mil
lions' in annual tribute to the
North lor our wagons and bugs
gitjtjand carriages The time
is near at hand when we will
make onr own. A few years
ago we paid $90 for a wagon a
wagon that did not actually
cost more than $40.- Studebaker
and Whitewater and other
Northern companies, got im
mensely rich from' Southern
patronage. The Florence Wa
joa Company sells a better wa
m for 50, and is making mon
ey, in face they wholesale
ILem for about $40, for I saw
them, in the neighboring towns
wheru the merchants keep them
md the merchant pays the
freight and sells them to the
farmer for $50 arrrTmakes a pro
21. There is a world of magnis
fxect timber around, Florence,
and this wagon Company invites
aa inspection of the stock of
ish and hickory and white oak
that is put in their wagons.
Why can't we duplicate this
factory in Georgia aBd save our
tiinbtr from wanton destruc
tion. Florence has built a very
fine hotel and it is hoped that
th Luiiness part of' the town
will soou grow to it; but at pres
ent the commercial traveler
suffers and sweats and frets
flown own and gets away as
soon as possible. A good hotel
is tin very best advertisement
w a growing town- fit would
Florence and Sheffield to
build one each for the commer-
travelers and have them
U kept , even if the hotel lost
jaoney. The drummer wants a
tone for the time being. His
Hrd life demands it. I peruse
wem and ponder them with iu
tfiEse interest and warmest
empathy... Everywhere I go I
eet them and wonder that they
be so cheerful. At Tuscum

Elorence is on one side of the
great river and Sheffield on the
other. Five great leviathan fur
naces are continually breathing
out fire and smo&e in Sheffield,
but the town is not making very
rapia progress now. It is bean
uiully located and has broad,
graded streets and handsome
drives. Montgomery avenue is
just lovely. No more beautiful
street can be found in any city
in the South, and all it wants is
to be filled up compactly with
such residences as now adorn it.
There is much wealth there, but
not many industries besides the
furnace From Sheffield I ran
down to the little unpretending
town of Russellville. I did not
know there was anything there
but an old-lashioned primitive
village with a court house and
a jail and a Baptist church and
Methodist church and a few
humble dwellings and" stores,
but I found the town on a little
boom, and every man, woman
and child on a strut even the
dogs wagged their tails proud
ly. Town lots had gone up
from $200 an acre to $10 a front ;
foot. Iron ore had been found !
in the naboring hills and iron
men f torn Birmingham hadcoxne
np and bought it and were tear
ing np the face of the earth
They had built a branch rail
road around it and had a reser
voir that held 10,000,000 gallons
of water, and were operating
immense steam shovels and
washing the gravel ore with
ponderous machinery of the
latest improved models, Whole
train loads of this ore were
moved every day to Birming-
ham and Sheffield. Houses for
the workmen were thick in the
suburbs and everything was
lively, A new schoolhouse has
just been finished and furnish-
ed. A new hotel Is on the way,
and it is to be hoped that the
same jgood lady will preside
over it that now presides over
the humble tenement that gave
us food and shelter. What;
clean nice beds and bedding.
What cheerful fires. What good
old-fashioned cooking and shin
ing table ware. The drummers
like to rest there, 1 know, but
space is scarce, and they have
to double and treble in a room
or take the first train and get
further. But they leave their
blessing with the widow. I
dou't like to room with a s.ran
ger, lor mayDe ne is a nervous
man and don't like pasal trom
bone music away iD the dead of
night. But then a man ought
to be willing to endure for a
night .what some of my family
have endured for years and
years, l am not a very nara
case, however, and always turn
over and hold up when my name
is called. ' "
But Huntsville is the grand
old town of North Alabama, and
grand folks live there. I don't
mean proud ioiks or vam iuiks,
but the old-time aristocracy or
the South, the refined and culti
vated people who will be gen
tie-men and ladies wnetnerpoor
or rich. There is nothing small
or mean or selfish about the
average flunesville citizen.
Honor and principle are cardi
nal virtues, and the children and
youth grow up imbued with the
best ideas oltrue mpnnooa ana

been marked as the home of
virtue and beauty, n i was a
rich man and could can oacK

so we can't all go to Huntsville.

Short ; Paragraphs on Topics of
J Avely Interest to our Headers
The next Legislature will be
called on to redistrict the State.
This is a very important work
and should be carefully done.
The demagogue who thinks
the people are opposed to the
present system of county gov
ernment is respectfully refer
red to the results of the resent
election. .
The professional , reformer
(and their name is legion) will
now please prepare his little
bill for the Legislature. He'll
get somebody to introduce it
and pigeon hole it.
Western North Carolina, as
well as every other section of
the State, acted her part well.
The white people of the West
will never again be deceived by
Radical revenuers and boodlers.
The victory is so great and
so gratifying that we can
scarcely believe it i real. The
people can be humbugged and
swindled for a long time, but
when they do arise they come
"like a thousand of brick."
There is danger in success.
We hope the Democrats of the
country will use the wonderful
victory they have achieved in
such a way as to strengthen
the party in the whole country.
Let us act wisely if we would
make our victory permanent.
Honors are now easy between
Eaves and Mott. Two years
ago Eaves helped the Democ
racy to pile np a tremendous
majority. This year the "Iron
Duke'' managed things and the
same glorious results followed.
The work in Kansas is due to
the Alliance. They deserve the
praise for breaking the back
bone of Republicanism in that
hotbed of hatred of the South.
That the teachings of this or
ganization has aided materially
in instructing the people all
over the country no oie will
doubt.
The children of North Caro
Una are at last to be provided
with better schools. The farm
ers of the State demand a larger
appropiiation for' school pur
poses and they have control of
the Legislature. We long to
see the day when every child
in our borders shall have the
opportunity of attending school
nine months in the year.
That the next Legislature
will giye us a Railroad Com
mission there can be no doubt.
The farmers of the State are
determined to have one and
they are vastly in the majority
in the Legislature. In fact the
next Legislature might proper
ly be termed the Farmers Leg
islature. The Democrats carried Wake
county and the Raleigh State
Chronicle is largely responsi
ble for the results. No paper
ever did more earnest, fearless
worK to secure good govern
ment than did that paper. The
Chronicle has been a power of
strength in this campaign. It
his "poured oil on tbe troubled
waters" when some by hot
headedness would have made
division in the Democratic par
ty by arraying one class of
Democrats against another, fit
has been an earnest uncompro
mising fighter and has helped
to hold together many who
were almost ready to depart
from the ship of Democracy.
Truly the people owe the
Chronicle a debt of gratitude.
The Legislature will be over
whelmingly 'Democratic and
the Allianco-wiH -have a large
maiority of the Democrats. If
the next Legislature does not
redress every grievance tnat
the Alliance has so far as
North Carolina is concerned
then that organization can hold
ita own members responsible
for failure to perform their du
ty. The Alliance sought to
control nominations and there
by secure complete control of the
Legislature so tnat tney might
redress the grievances of the
farmerd. They accomplished
their object they have the res
sDonsibility resting upon their
shoulders. We are glad that it
does; we feel no uneasiness
but they will legislate wisely
for all the people. There will,
after the next Legislature, be
no cause for complaint among
the farmers of the State, so far
as North Carolina is concerned.

aoes a big business. It is a
monopoly too, but it evidently
means to treat every one fair
and kindly. The day I was
passenger on this road a very
valuable old gentleman sat in
the seat directly in front of me.
He talked much, and in talk
ing he opened his mouth very
wide.. He had store teeth, and
the plate had either shrunk or
the old gentleman's mouth had
expanded since the teeth were
fitted to him. for- thev kerjt

talked like piano keys inaction.
i ou better look out, old man,'
said to myself, for if you
haven't got a string to those
teeth the first thing you know
they'll desert you.
"We were tipping along at a
pretty good gait. It was a warm
day, and the old gentleman had
his window up. TPretty soon he
opened up with a few remarks,
in the middle of which he felt
compelled to laugh. He gave
one hilarious snort and, zip!
shot that set of misfit teeth out
of his mouth. It wasn't satis
fied with getting rid of his
mouth but it threw itself out
of the car through the
open
window as well.
"Gosh all fishhook"

what the old gentleman
doubtedly imagined he
saying, but his upper lip
caved in almost to his plate,
and as he had to push it back
and hold ,it there with his
tongue before he conli talk his
words came a trifle thick and
full of splutter. That was all
the old man said, bui he shoved
his head out of the wiDdow and
looked back manfully towards
tne spot where his teeth had
left him. We had gone a mile
or more. I guess before the
conductor of the train had
learned of the old gentleman's
bereavement. He pulled the
bell rope. The train was stop
ped. Then they backed to the
place where the Jteeth had shot
out of the window. There con
ductor, engineer, fireman and
brakemen formed themselves
into a searching party and
went to work to look up the
lost teeth. They searched the
country on both sides of the
track for several rods, up and
down, and at the end of half an
hour a brakeman shouted :
"Here they bel"
"He had found the old gen
tleman's teeth. They were all
there, safe and sound. The old
gentleman shoved them in his
mouth and thus said :
"Gosh all fishhooks. I'd a
ketched helix when I got home
it I had't a found them teeth!'-
"Then the train started and
old man commenced his talking
where he left off when his teeth
had got tired quit him. Nobody
seemed to think the stopping
of the train and going back af
ter tbe teeth was anything- out
of the ordinary every day way
of managing a railroad and I
wasn't going to be conspicious
by kicking. But it was accom
modating, wasn't it?'

Thoughts That Inclined tho Minds
. . of tha Jury to sympamy.
In the good old days when tbe
Inferior Court of Rowan w?s in
the hey-day of it glory, a poor lit
tle scared nigger was up for steal
ing a watermelon- The counsel
on either side made ab!e speeches,
the jury, of which Frank Rogers
was foreman, listened attentively
to the arguments and ia due time
retired to consider the case. When
at length they came filing back, a
mighty hush Ml upon, the great
crowd in the court house. When
the clerk asked, "Gentlemen, have
agreed unon the verdict." the lors
mao stepped forward and said :
"They jury, after due considera
tion, find the prisoae- at the bar
guilty, but inasmuch as tbe jury
nd that every member of it has
been guilty at. some time in his
life of the same offence as the
prisoner, they recommend him to
the mercy of the court.
Chief Justice F. E Shober and
associate Justice Sloan and Fraley
then put their Leads together and
shortly afttr Judge Shober arose
and remarked with a solem dignity
becoming one who wore the ermine:
The court, after consultation, have
agreed, in view of the fact that
all the members ol this conrt have
been guilty of the same offense as
the prisoner at the' bar, to suspend
jadgement in the case."

PURSUED BY A GANDER.
Ns Gander Could Chase Him and
. ' Live-
A man who was caught in the
act of skinnig a neighbor's
eheep covered his , embarras
ment by declaring that no sheep
could bite him and live. The
logic of this says that Youth's
Companion, is eqaaled by that
of the Yankee soldier who once
had a narrow escape from an
enraged gander. i
The men of a certain Maine
regiment,, whicn was in the
enemy's country in 1862, con
sidered the order "no foraging'-'
an additional and uncalled
for hardship.
One afternoon about dusk a
soldier was seen beating t rapid
retreat from the rear of a farm
house near by, closely pursued
by a gander, with wings out
spread, whose feet seemed
acarely to touch the ground ,and
from whose beak issued a suc
cession of angry screams.
The fugitive was- not reas
sured by the cries of the gan
der's owner, "Hold on, man,
hold on ! He- won't hurt you !"
"Call off your gander ! Call
Jiim off,shouted the fleeing sol
dier. Neither man nor gander stop
ped until inside the camp lines,
when the soldiers friends re
lieved him of his fierce
pursuer with the aid of the
butt of a musket. "
"Did that ganger thiuk he
could chase me like that and
live ?" the soldier exclaimed,
as he surveyed the outstretched
bird; but he said nothing of the
baited nook, with cod-line at
tached, which might have
thrown light on the unfortu
nate gander's stranger actions.
A MISNOMER.
Crimes Against Society" Mostly a
Grand Old Lie.
Did you ever stop to think
of th absurdity of this thing
we call "crime against society?'
Some one breaks into your
house, steals your money the
saving of years and leaves you
helpless 'Or some one gets you
to endorse his note, leaves you
to pay it, and ruins you finan
cially. This is called an of
fence against society, the man
is dangerous and must be pun
ished and restrained: He is
sent to prison for twenty years,
so as to give him ample time
to repent set to work, and
the proceeds of his labors taKen
by" society. Where are you?
You are really the one against
whom the offence was commit
tedyou are the only sufferer.
Why, then, not let the earnings
of his labor go to reimburse
you ? That seems so simple a
rule of justice that the wonder
is idiots, 1st alone law-givers,
have not seen it long since. But
they haven't, and they won'd
as long as we allow men who
live by teaching such stuff to
do our thinking and law mak
ing for us. Even a savage, a
barbarian, knows better than
this. This "crime against so
ciety" is like the old fiction
of "a sin against God." You
go to hell for one and to the
penitentiary for the other,
when in fact the only "crime"
committed is against the man
who suffers thg injury, and the
only sin committed is against
our fellow-man who suffers, r
Mr. Theo. H. Hill, the .Raleigh
nost, in his old poem "The' Shadow
of the Rock' writes this :
"Far, far away, beside a gloomy
hearth,
"Where feebly now the fading em
bers burn,
Thy hoary sire, and she who gave
the birth,
Heart broken, wait to welcome thy
return :
God shield thee ! hapless straggler
from the flock.
" And hide thee now within the
shadow of the Rock!"
