All drutigists sell them. In making predictions as to the future of any locality .some reasonable basis must exist, and we propose at the outset to give reasons “for the faith that is within us.’’ The Panama canal is now as certain of construction as is the existence of the American repub lie. The voting of fSll,000.000 to the project by congress last week is the first positive assurance the counti-y ever had, and it is a safe prediction that the work will be pushed to as early completion as the magnitude of the undertaking will permit. As the construction of the ca nal progresses the various ports on the gulf of Mexico will receive in impetus that will give many of them a much more conspicu ous ])lace on the map of the Unit ed States. Especially is this true of New Orleans, which, as a ship ping point for the isthmian trade will develop an importance never dreamed of by her people. Coal has become one of the most important elements in the world's industries, and coal will l)e iUH‘ded in vast quantities in Xew Orleans. The most ex ten- siv(i coal fields now in sight are in West Virginia, and how’ to reach them and get it to the southern seaboard is a question which is agitating all common carriers, and the Southern Kail- \vay is no exception. A railroad is no’.v building from Johnson City, Tenn., southward through Yancey and other coun ties ol’ North Carolina, and if it can be diverted to Asheville and connected with the Transylvania miles. In all of this undertaking we believe the Southern will he the moving factor. With the ex perience the Southern has had on the Pacolet division of the Spar tanburg and Asheville road its piomotors see the necessity for a freiglit outlet through these mountains with a grade that will be practicMl and safe, and there is no doubt that if the Transyl vania railroad is extended such a grade will be secui-ed. Such a road is badly needed, and those who are looking out for the in terests of the Southern are too sagacious to permit some othei company tt) build and operate it. This is the outlook for the fu ture of l^revard as we see it. It is destined to be a station on a trunk line that will greatly re duce the distance fi-om this sec tion to northern and eastern cit ies. We are not violating any confidences nor making predic tions on “inside” information, but the plan looks so tempting and feasible that we cannot see how it (.*an be much longer de laved. The I’oad would open up a wealth of timber in Yancey ard Madison counties that now has no outlet, and the same is true of the Transylvania extension south of 15]ue Kidge, and we believe it will built. If Senator Burton was just bright enough to tender his resig nation, Kansas would j)rohably get up three hours earlier than usual in the morning to accept it. McCurdy has sold his fine country residence. He may not want to have any of his [)roperty mg it beneath his dignity to be seen in cD'ijpauy with I’atrick, requested the Irishman to fall back a little. 'I he (juick witte<l son of Krin, gi’asp- i:;;^ the situation, fell buck a fev\' paces and awaited his opportunity for re- vt'uge. As they were entering the principal s'avet the Irishman called out from be- hinu: "Jedge , am 1 far enough be hind yer honor?” The discumtited Judge, sitting very , erect, paid no heed to the Irishman. A little further on l‘atrick again call ed out, to the intense amusement of the bystanders, "Jedge , am I far enough behind yer honor now, sir?” So, all along the way, I’airick pun ished the proud judge.—Boston Herald. Crawford the Man. A Smart Man. “Fourteen cents for each of these,” he said, handing the saleswoman two cravats he had selected. ‘‘That’s 28; 18 for this and 14 for this. That’s just oO ceuts in all.” And he jdaced a half dollar on the counter. The following endorsement of Mr. Shipman’s letter shows that some Transylvania democrats will stand by W. T. Crawford. Wo do not like the idea of so long a cam])aign, and yet, as the ques- tiin is now open, our columns are at the disposal of the democrats to exj)ress their iireferences. Mr. Gudger is now in congress and some act of his in the pres ent session may make him botii the logical and popular candidate. Before any one rushes into print to express his opinions, remem ber ‘All things come to those who wait. ” Kditor Sylvan Valley News: To<^eth('r with sov(*ral ofhov infln ential democrats we wish to en dors<‘ the opinion of M.

Soon they came back wrapped ready for the purchaser. He took tliem, but did not go away. "I knew I could do it,” he said. “Just count it up again—three for 14 ceuts each and one for IS.” The girl counted and found the total was CO cents instead of 50. Then he wanted to give her 10 cents more and go otr with the goods, but it took more than 10 cents’ worth of his time as well as of everj'body else’s concerned before the matter could be straightened out. “The lesson was quite as expensive for me as for you.” he said to the girl when he finallj' left with his cravats.— Philadelphia Record. railroad, it will point the way be- around loose where a cons- FOR I I'd hprt**r n'ivprtisf* the South’s L.eHdiiiK Businesi* College, just a fi*\v sctiolarshiys are , f i ill t-acii section at lc-;s than co-sl. l)f)N-T DKI.AV.
