Alirr OJ 1- (Ed- itorial correspondence of News! and Observer. ) If 3-011 do know where this new town not . turn to the map of North Caro lina, put your finger on Apex (the highest point on the lial eigh and Augusta road) , draw a line twenty miles long from Apex toward the Cape Fear and Northern railroad, the cen tre of one of the finest farming sections in Eastern North Caro lina, and the home of a worthy hospitable and thrifty popula tion. Long removed from rail road communication, the people of this community have not been wanting in those qualites of head and heart that make the best type of American citi zens. They have churches, and most of the adult population be longs to them, and education has not been neglected. There is no doubt that the coming of the railroad will give longer terms and better schools, and larger and handsomer churches, but it will only be an evolution of the present good conditions j that prevail in this community. When the special train pulled in from Raleigh, full of promi nent citizens from Raleigh, Ca- ry, Apex and the intermediate country ; if you had judged by the 2000 or 2500 people present, you would have thought Angier a large town of 2,000 popula tion instead of a brand new town located in the heart of the finest cotton field in the State on which its owner, Mr. J. 0. Williams, is said to have made as much as three bales to the acre. It looks like a pity to build a town in the heart of so fertile a field, but the. Williams store at this point has for years been a trading centre, and be sides Mr. Angier. in all his rail road construction and stations has been looking only 4or the best. A commodious and sub stantial depot has been con structed here,, and it has the air "I-am - built-for-a - big - town."' There is every reason to believe that Mr. Angier is justified in making thisplace the terminus of his new road. It is the heart of a fine agricultural section, and around it lie vast bodies of the finest unbroken pine timber land in Eastern North Carolina. It is 20 miles from Apex, 18 miles from Dunn, and about 20 miles from Raleigh. It is about the right distance from these places for a good town, and as the terminus of a new road, which is owned and man aged by men of large wealth and progressive ideas, it would seem to have all the require ments tor a large and town. "So mote it be growing 5 After the speaking there was an auction sale of lots, and the prices realized shows that there is faith in the future of the place. The lots sold were 50x 150. The first one put up at auction brought $50, and was bought by Mr. A. T. Lee, of Dunn. Mr. A. T. Miall, of Wake, paid $(30 for the next; Dr. N. M. Johnson, of Dur ham, $93.50 for the next. Oth er lots brought $77, $90, $77 and so on. "I will tell you," said Mr. T. B. Mosley, ah expert real estat er, "I have not seen such town lots of such size in a town of 1,000 bring such prices. It shows that the buyers already believe in Angier dirt and are willing to pay for it.'' At 11 o'clock the speaking took place in the grove near the residence of Mr. J. C. Williams and the store of his son, Mr. Benton Williams. These gen tlemen have been among the most progressive citizens of this section, and have co-operated heartily with Mr. Angier and his associates in building the new railroad. Thev made every body feel welcome. Mr. Her-! bert E. Norris, who as attorney j for Mr. Angier, has had a large j slmrfi in the nlans that have I been brought to a successful I gier with a very handsome bou termination, presided and intro-1 quet. It was beautiful. The duced the speakers. Short speeches were made bv ! Messrs. D. H. McLean (intro duced as "the next Secretary of State"), R M. Furman, Jo sephus Dauiels, and Oscar J. Spears. After they had spok- en there were general calls for Mr. John O A iU'iir. ,nvNifp nt nf j the Cape : Fear and Northern railroad, who is highly esteem- ed bv the ueonle of this section. In. substance. Mr. Angier said "I am nroud of boin' a North ! I O j Carolinian and so help 'me God ' T 1,1 , 1 T 1 in the past. I -am no politician, i iiueiK )( o more man l l.'ive no public-man, no speaker, but T T . -I j ucsirc to- tii a nk you many, many times for the kind things you have donje for me. "A little less than two years ngo I made my first visit to this section in a buggy with Mr. Herbert rs orris. I told him of the possibilities of this section, and he could hardly believe all that I had predicted. ' 'There is the road and I am proud of it. rJThe credit is not alone to me, but- also to wise and faithful men who have la bored with me. "I love, the people. I hope I will not get away from the com mon people. I am one of them. I had rather be here in my humble sphere in North Caro lina than to be the Prince of Wales. I want to help the common people By that I do not mean only poor people. I mean all the people in common. want to keep out classes. 1 believe in the people standing together. We have the best State in the Union. "It is policy in business not to say what you are going to do, but I will say this : This road is going but. where or when is something else. "I am proud to see the ladies here. I love North Carolina's fair daughters and I thank them for. honoring us with their presence. I am happy to be in old Harnett among you, and I can kiss the babies, too, if there are any." Short speeches were made by Messrs. J. 0. and B. F. AVil liains and Mr. Herbert E. Nor ris. After the speaking Mr. Angier spread a repast for a large number of guests of bar becue, Brunswick' stew, etc., that was fit for kings. It was elegantly served and greatlv enjoyed. Mr. Angier has done a great work here in building the Cape Fear and Northern road. He has had dealings with many people.. They have found him straight-forward and business like, and he enjoys their confi dence, and they wish for his great enterprise the largest measure of success. As he makes the road profitable to its owners, it develops ' the resour ces of this section, and the ben efits are therefore reciprocal. The passenger traffic on the new road is not yet very large, but Capt. Lemmon told me that it had already, been much lar ger than he anticipated. The freight traffic has been immense. There are twelve big saw mills along the line of the road. One of them that of Mr . P. B. Fanner we visited today and a photograph of the acres of lumber was taken. It is a sixty horse power mill and turns out twenty thousand feet of lumber a daT. And it is one of the twelve that will suppty lumber to the road. Mr. Angier owns much timber here and here abouts, and there is enough to make this road paT well five years if it had no other busi ness. But it has other business, and it will grow steadily. The day is not far distant when the road will be completed to Cape Fear, and perhaps also to Dur- ham. road, most State It is no cheap lumber but one of the best and substantial . roaas in built ' to stay here the and vet do business for generations unborn. One of the delights of the day was the excellent music of the Dunn band, led by Prof. J. W. Portis. It is easily one of the best bands in North Carolina, and its music I ire inii;.Tr vn mrrhlv :m- predated, The ladies presented Mr Au-i lames Know -me vaiue o new road to this county, i anci took this method ot expressing! their appreciation to Mr. .An-j gier for his enterprise and cour-j tesy toward the people in his! work in building tins lin e.

When a Girl is Sweetest. "At what age is a girl the sweetest?" .is a qaiebtion being asKea. ine uoserver win en deavor to answer the absorbing problem, as follows : At sixteen, in white mull and silk ribbon, sounding in her graduating es say, the depths of philosophies that have puzzled the sages of ancient and modern times, she is sweet, very sweet. In fact, there is the suggestion of cara mel and cream in every linea ment. At twenty, in shirtwaist and pique shirt, with just the faintest suggestion of wild vio lets in the perfume she uses, the sachcharine matter is much i ; i mi t 1 1 more pronounced. You look for an .--instant, and 'through your tangled dreams some Moat ing visions red roses, soft winds, the dusk hour, and many declarations vou might easily make if given an opportunity. You are foolish, but you don't realize it until -a year after- wards, when you1 find a faded carnation in your dress tcoat pocket. At thirty you pass by and hear her singing a lullaby7 or perhaps you, and not the other fellowr, are looking wildly about for the Castoria bottle as she sings. There is a halo from Heaven above her head then,and you. would die there on the door step, punching the face of any man who dared declare you did not have the sweetest wife and baby in this or airy other town. At fortyT. she has a few wrinkles, but you can't see them. She is still the sweetest woman in the world teaching you resigna tion how to wear patches and build up a family. At fifty she is telling her grandchildren the very quaintest little stories about -Mr. Nod and old man Blinkin.' At sixty, with white hair and placid browr, she im plants a mellowed kiss on your cheek when she thinks you are asleep. Memory goes reaching over the summer hills ; yTou are a tired', foot worn little boy again, laying there in the open doorway of an old home. The locust blossoms are dropping, the petals are falling from the yellowr roses on the bush .near the corner of the house; it is almost dusk and your languid eyes are watching the swallows gracefully circle over the white houses of the little town. Heart aches and all the bitterness of years are forgotten and you awaken. . And it is really she, the angel and comforter of your boyhood. When is agiri sweet est? When she is your mother, to be sure. Orange (Va.) Ob- server Milions Given Away.

The fact that the largely increased num ber of divorces is noted, and commented upon without refer ence to the color of the appli cants leaves the impression that they are white, and that our people are becoming demoral ized. There is no doubt that the comparative ease with which divorces mayr now be obtained has had a tendency to increase the number of suits, but, elim inating the colored element, not to such an extent as to in dicate or portend social wreck.

The peculiar feature in the make-up of this modern Aaron is that the right side of his body, from head to heel, is of a light or mulatto shade, while the left side is black African, pure and simple. A well de fined line divides the two dis tinct shades. But the strangest feature yet is the fact this ne gro perspires only on one side of his face and bodyr. . While the right side of his face is beaded with perspiration the left side is "bone dry," and has always been so.

Henceforth smokeless powder will be used in civilized war fare, not only forthe rapid fir ing artillery, but also for tho newrilles which the infantry will use in the field. In tho manufacture of this powder dis tilled spirits play a prominent part, thus opening up a new and quite extensive market for American corn. Tho fact is one tliat cannot fail to interest the farmer, as all civilized na tions now use this powder, but this country alone grows tho corn, in the light of all theso facts the preparation of Great Britain, and the constant rum ors of a great Europe war, tako on a local and personal interest.. for every Western corn grower. An extensive war among tho great European nations would have a marked effect upon tho market for spirits and corn. and as the whole world is to a largo xtent dependent upon America for this ingredient of smokeless powder, and as this powder s a necessity in warfare, it must bo had at any price.
