AWFUL DEATH VALLEY.
THE GHASTLY RELICS OF AN EMIGRANT
TRAIN. i
Bleaching Bones of Women and Chil
dren Tell the Tale of Suffering and
Death Starving for Water Under a
Blistering Sun Their Anguish of
Mind and Torture of Body Awful.
(.San Francisco Chronicle.)
An old gunstock, white as a bone,
light as a feather, and full of waving
lines made where the wood gasped in
the excruciating heat of the desert
sink we know as Death Valley, is one
of the latest additions to the I'ark
Museum. The stock was picked up
by J. W. Droallard, where a train of
emigrants perished forty-seven years
ago, and was presented to the museum
by Jefferson G. James, of this city.
The carved old stock, white as a skel
eton, tells a good story. It was found
where a large emigrant party perished
in 1850, and where for many years
the tracks of the wagon wheels and
the marks of the fires could still be
seen so deathly is nature's stillness in
this remarkable region.
It was from the fate of this very
party to which the old gunstock be
longed that the region was named.
They had the honor of christening the
place, but like many pioneers, they
paid dearly for the privilege. It was
a party of thirty gold-seekers, with
their wives and children, who came
into the valley from the East, all un
mindful of the deadly grasp of the
country into which they had so blithe
ly ventured. After a one-day camp
they were so overcome by the heat
and still more terrible aridity that
more than half their number perished.
A few escaped over the Panamint
Mountains to the west and the others
returned the way they came. It was
a pitiful experience.
Ten years later a party of prospec
tors came across the camp, with its
wagons, chains, yokes, camp equip
ments, guns and children's toys, to
say nothing of the melancholy skele
tons of men, women and children and
their faithful horses. Even the tracks
maue in me sana uy ine little ones
could still be traced. Of all the
stories told of California pioneers
none is so full of human interest as
this, and yet it is told only by tradi
tion, though survivors of the party still
remain.
Then there was the "gunsight lead."
One of the survivors of the other party
carried a piece of rock, probably
"black metal," from a spring he found
in the Panamints, to the settlements.
A gunsmith when asked to make a
gunsight of it, found it to be silver.
Why should the story be considered
incredible? The lead has been cov
ered by the debris of a cloudburst. It
may never be found, but there seems
no good reason to doubt its existence.
There are hundreds of unknown
graves in the region. Some are marked
by lonely crosses, others not at all.
How many men have wandered from
the trail and have never been found
no one knows. At the lower end of
the valley travelers used to pass six
skeletons in one day, and near some
of them were deep holes dug beneath
the greasewood bushes, where men
gone mad with thirst had dug their
fingers to the bone in the search for
water. It is a terrible region, this
country below the sea, where only the
dust storms come, where the stillness
is everlasting, and where it never
rains. Men's bodies dry there as fruit
dries under the process of evaporation,
antl woe betide the prospector who
loses his way or does not know the
location of the nearest water hole.
In such a place the bleached and
cracked gunstock has been lying these
many years, the wood starting and
gasping for the rain that never came.

l'lif glories of birth and state.
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There!is no armor against fate:
Death lays its icy hand on king?,
Sceptre and crown
Mut tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
Some men with swords may reap the field.
And plant with laurels where they kill;
But their strong nerves at last must yield ,
They tame but one another still;
Karly or late,
They stoop to fate.
And must give up their murmuring
breath,
When they, pale captives! creep to
death.
The garlands wither on your brow;
Then boast no more your mighty dels;
L'pon death's purple altar, now.
See where the victor's victim bleeds!
All heads must come
To the cold tomb,
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in the dust.
TIIUEK SUPREME OBJECTS.
North Carolina Needs Better Schools
Diversified Industries, and Good
Koads.
Just at this time and in years im
mediately following three supreme
objects should engage the interest of
North Carolina, from mountains to sea.
1. First and most important is the
improvement of our educational facil
ities. This must be done. The State's
stain of illiteracy must be wiped out.
The public schools must do it. The
question then narrows down to the
perfecting of the public schools and
inducing a regular attendance upon
them. We do not advocate compul
sory education. That is too undem
ocratic. But something must be done.
2. Diversified industries, from farm
ing to manufacturing. The day has
passed when we may expect to grow
rich or even prosperous alone on our
crops of cotton and tobacco. Our
climate is suitable for the cultivation
of nearly any product of the United
States. Attention must be directed
more to what is looked upon as small
things, dairying, poultry raising, vari
ous foods for both man a.d beast,fruit
growing, trucking, etc. The numer
ous through lines of railroads piercing
the State open up abundant markets
for us, and thousands of dollars will
pour into the State where now not one
comes. Notable examples of this are
the wonderful development of the
trucking and fruit-growing industry of
the Eastern portion of the State in the
past few years, where only a little
stuff was made for the few home mar
kets that have been opened up to the
North Carolina farmers and fruit
growers. It would be interesting to
know how many thousands of dollars
were brought into the State this year
by the strawberry crop alone. We
have often heard the cry of "diversify,"
"diversify;" but it is a stern necessity.
In manufacturing the chief operations
are in cotton mills, of which there are
a large number in the State, most of
them having paid handsome profits
until the hard times set in, since when
few have done much more than keep
going.
Profits will doubtless revive with the
revival of business. Other manufac
tures will be built as the population
grows more sustaining and opportuni
ties of successful investments arise.
3. Road Making. This must be
an important question in the State for
at least the next quarter of a century.
We take it that the necessity and de
sirabilty of good roads are self evident.
No agricultural country can long re
main in the highest state of prosperity
unless the farmers have highways over
which they can easily, quickly and
cheaply carry their products to market,
or shipping point. The birth of this
sentiment in North Carolina is recent,
but it seems well started. May it not
decrease. Monroe Journal.
One advantage of taking Ayer's Sarsapa

VANDERBILT'S
ESTATE.
MAGNIFICENT
A Vast Dominion of Forests and Farm
Lands Twelve Miles of flacadam
ized Road Practical Object Lessons
Taught Asheviile and the Southern
Railway.
(Atlanta Journal.)
It is said that Biltraore house is the
finest private residence in the world.
Geo. W. Vanderbilt has lavished his
wealth on this place and its adjacent
park. The park is more than twire
the size of Atlanta, containing about
13,000 acres, and the hunting pre
serve, reaching to Mt. Pisgah, contains
125,000 acres, or 195 square miles.
The park is all that landscape gard
ners can make it. The site is ideal,
rolling and broken, and made pic
turesque by the course of the French
Broad River. Twelve miles of mac
adamizd roads wind about among the
rarest flowers and shrubs of the world.
The mountain laurel grows beside the
rhododendron, and the honeysuckle
interlocks its foliage with rarer vines
along the borders. Miles of spruce
and balsam are mingled with other
shrubs, and it is impossible to distin
guish between the indigenous and the
exotic. No one can tell where nature
leaves off and art begins. The entire
wonderful variety of flowers and shrubs
seems to have sprung from the soil
without care. The drainage is perfect,
and the exhilarating air is laden with
the perfume of fljwers, intermingled
in indescribable bouquets.
Biltmore House rests on an eminence
2,800 feet above sea level, overlooking
most of the nark, with a view of half
hundred mountain peaks that rise to
height of 4,000 to 6,200 feet. It is
26Z72S 2930 1
a granite chateau, with an esplanade
and rampart in front. The mansion
has its great hall, tapestry room, ban
quet hall, dining room, billiard rooms,
swimming pool and baths, and a li
brary that fills two stones of the west
wing. The library overlooks a bowi
ng green and tennis court. The park
has its golf links and its fish preserves,
a herd of 400 Jerseys, a dairy farm,
stock farm, conservatories and nurse
ries. The nurseries provide the shrubs
and tiees for the park, and the gentle
man in charge, who is a graduate of
Harvard College, has at his disposal a
costly botanical library, lhe farms
and gardens, conservatories and dai
ries, are conducted on the most ap
proved scientific plan, and the horses
are cared for by the best of trainers
and grooms.
The employees of the estate, about
600 in number, are the most contented
of people. They are well paid and
not overworked, for their benefit All
Soul's church was built. Mr. Vander
bilt presented it to the parish, and
pays the preacher, the organist, the
chorister and a choir of 35 people.
Nevertheless, collections are taken
every Sunday, and when he is there,
Mr. Vanderbilt officiates as a vestry
man and hands round the plate. The
offerings are all devoted to charity.
The hunting preserve attached to
Biltmore is under the care of a head
forester who is a graduate of the Ger
man school of forestry. He has a
number of assistants and the trees are
nursed like plants. Every year a cer
tain proportion are culled to make
room for growth.
"Arboretum Road," now being con
structed and planted, will be lined
with trees, including every known
species that will grow in this climate.
It will take years to complete the
work, but when it is done it will be a
beautiful object lesson. The forestry
of the hunting preserve will set a pat
tern for this kind of work in America.
The preserve has bears, deer, pheasants,
and other game of the region, and is
being stocked with other birds and
animals.
Mr. Vanderbilt chose this site as one
of the most beautiful in the world.
The picturesque beauty of the moun
tain region is made delightful by the
peculiar stimultting quality of the at
mosphere. Its dryness and bracing
coolness makes it a tonic equal to
champagne. The trip through the
"Land of the Sky," from Salisbury to
Asheviile, and down the French Broad
and Holston rivers to East Tennessee
by the Southern Railwny is an exhili
rating experience. Climbing up Round
Knob, the track winds about the
nountain fourteen limes, and the train
climbs 1,400 feet in 12 miles. At the
summit is a tunnel. Emerging from
this the train whirls into full view of
Royal Gorge, a grand avenue among
the mountains. As far as the eye can
reach, mountains rise to the right ai d
left, with broken valleys between.
This region is easily reached from any
part of the South by the Southern
Railway.
Now for the first time since the dis
covery of the "Land of the Sky" there
is a car service with closely connecting
schedule, between Asheviile and all
points reached through Atlanta.
