Thousands of Self-sustaining People Brought to the South by leans of Efforts Put Forth by This Great Railway System What Has Been Accomplished During the Past Year Startlingly Significant Figures of Progress and Development. (Portsmouth Star.) The remarkable show made durinu the fiscal year just past, by what is considered the greatest innovation ever undertaken by an American railway, is shown by the following extract from the annual report of Mr. fc.. St. John, vice-president and gen eral manager of the Seaboard Air Line Railway. In that interesting paper, Mr. St. John says: The chief industrial agent reports that during the year ending June 30, 190'), 897 manufacturing establish ments have been started upon lines therein reported upon, as against 284 the previous year. He also reports 5, f2" settlers bring ing with them $2,798,715, as against 3,750, with $1,627,800 during previ ous year; also 4,21.5 laborers as com pared with 3,150 last year. More than 500,000 packages of flower seeds, to beautify homes, have been distributed through our local in dustrial agent. The retail value of these seeds, at ten cents per package, would have been $50,000. Six hun dred and thirty-eight thousand three hundred and eighty-one shade trees, fruit trees and fruit bearing vines have been planted during the year an increase of 258, H68 over preceding year. The results have been largely brought about by ebtablishment of our Seaboard Air Line arbor day, and if we take the United States Govern ment estimate that each shade tree is worth to a community $2 and each fruit tree $5, as a basis to figure on, the Seaboard Air Line has in this di rection alone been of benefit to people iu the various communities through which it passes, to the extent of a million dollars. Six thousand, four hundred and ninety-four houses were painted dur ing the year on our line, an increase of 3,975, over last year, and as com pared with 700 during lirst year and 10.937 homes and grounds were im proved as the result of our efforts, an increase of 7,516, and as compared with less than 200 the lirst year we attempted anything in this line. The practical and efficient work accomp lished through the efforts of our chief industrial agent, and his army of co workers, is something that baa not been done by any State or railroad, outside of the Seaboard Air Line, so far as we are advised, and it ii un doubtedly a fact that the people along our lines appreciate our co-operation rery much. The stock and poultry of the farmer has also been very greatly improved during the past few years as the result of the establishment of a stock department, in connection with our industrial work. Theestablishment of our "volunteer army,'" "work day picnics," "canning school," "the training school on wheels," and the continued movement of the free traveling libraries from point to point, is undoubtedly work ing great good to our people, and the evidences of this are constantly com ing in the shape of letters direct from people benefited, as well as notices through the press of the cities and towns through which we operate. The experiments of kaffir corn, hop3, broom corn, etc., which was first brought by us to the attention of the farmers along our Una; in fact, lirst experimented with upon the State and company's experimental farms, to demonstrate that there were other things than those being produced, that would be of benefit to our farm ers, have brought good results. We have also demonstrated to the farmer, through our industrial department, the value of fertilizers on crops and fruits, and incidentally have largely increased the sale of fertilizers, as well as benefitted the farmer by their use. We have demonstrated also that improved agricultural machinery was needed in almost every direction if he would get the best financial re sults from his labors, and in many cases, by showing him this machinery and how" to use it, have con vinced him that this is a fact. It is a matter of record in our industrial department, as one evidence of this, that 747 farmers have been induced to pur chase modern machinery for their future use. Our chief industrial agent's report is about 1,000 pages of type-written manuscript, and his statements are verified by individual reports from local industrial agents at the various points, showing that the account of work accomplished is in excess even of that reported, which proves conclus ively that the Seaboard Air Line has now", and has had for the past five years, the right man in charge of this work. His accomplishments hare been most remarkable. I am sure that all this can but prove as gratifying to all interested in the Seaboard Air Line as it has to your vice-president and general man ager, and no one can doubt that what has really been accomplished in this direction has been of inestimable value to our great system. The free traveling libraries of the Seaboard Air Line, under direct charge of Mrs. K. B. Heard, as general super intendent, are proving of wonderful value, and the letters she is receiving from the various points upon the line, demonstrate the interest of the people, in our efforts to supply them with good reading matter. This work is favorably commented upon by the press from Maine to Califor nia, and is growing very rapidly. The number of libraries, constantly pass ing up and down the line, has increas ed from fifteen (of fifty volumes each), the number reported last year, to HENDERSON, N. C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER thirty-five (of same number of volj Uniesb COnvevinfr to th TMnrl th best reading matter obtainable, while our library, as a whole, numbers now over 2,500 volumes. To all of the ofiicera and emnlnvpp. of the Seaboard Air Line whose con stant and untiring efforts have made the above results possible, my sincere lur-uKs are cue, and are now grate fully tendered. The Appetite of a Goat. Maj. B. . Dixon, State Auditor elect, tells the following: Mr. John Poulin said to Isoni, the old negro servant, "Isom, take this got down to the depot and tell the agent to ship him to Norfolk. The tag is on his neck, that will be all the information necessary to send him." On the way to the depot Isom got into a controversy with another de vout member of the colored Baptist church'and the goat ate the tag, but did it in such a quiet way that the mischief wrought was kepi a secret until Billy was about to be cast into a box. With a self-important air Isom said: "Here, mister, Marse John saide for you to'ship dis goat to to whar dat piece of paper round his neck say." The agent looked but saw no paper. Then Isom added. "Well, bless my soul, before God, sir, if dat aire goat ain't done eat up the place whar he's gwine." JUSTIFIES JIM CROW CAR LAW. A Negro Paper Says a Freight Car is Too Good for Some Negroes. The Littleton Reformer, the leading colored paper in the State justifies the enactment of the Jim Crow car law. It has a sensible article giving a striking illustration of the necessity of such law, by which the races are separated on the cars, and in a manly manner denounces those guilty of the scenes described and properly holds such responsible for the demand for the legislation aimed at by separation of the races. If all the respectable people of the colored race would unite in ostracising the bad characters they would soon create a much better con dition for themselves, and this article from the Reformer we take to be an encouraging sign. Let the decent element of the race frown down such conduct and the characters guilty of such rather than complain of discrim inating laws, just such conduct and characters have necessitated, and create a sentiment that bad charac ters and law-breakers of that race must not be shielded or defended but the contrary, and a very much better condition of affairs will develop among them. All good white people will sympathize with and assist the reput able element in their aims and efforts to separate themselves from those who are degraded and vicious, and who are generally responsible for the misfortunes and disasters which befall the race. Following is the article in question which we wish to commend: "On the 30th and 51st of October, during the Weldon Fair, was the first time we ever witnessed a real neces sity for a Jim Crow car. We feel it our duty to speak out in condemna ation of such conduct and actions as were carried on by a certain class of colored passengers going to and from the fair. Were we to remain silent on this subject we would feel that our efforts in publishing a newspaper are not for the best interests of the colored race. It is always our pleas ure to give the bright side of all questions pertaining to our people, especially when there are ten to one who give nothing but the dark side of the life of the race daily, but when it becomes necessary we will fearless ly show up the evil and dark side with our disapproval. Whenever men and women have so little respect for themselves and all decent people around them they that will indulge in deafening squalls and whoops, walk all through the coaches falling upon others with bottles of whiskey, pour ing it down their throats right in the presence of ladies and other respect able people, they have fallen far be low the pall of" decency. This was not all, we saw both young and old men who could neither sit down nor stand up, staggering through the cars pulling tobacco smoke in the face of ladies and gentlemen and seem to regard everybody around them as beast except themselves. We think a freight car too good for such people to ride in. We honestly believe there never would have been such a thing as a law separating the two races on the cars had it not been for this class of people. You may say what you will about solving the race problem and the kind of obstacles that are do ing the most to retard the progress ofthe colored people, it is still our candid opinion that liquor and the habit of drink is the negro's worst enemy. It's hard indeed that good and decent citizens. have to suffer for the deeds of these develish sinners." Muggins "Bjoues is a most extra ordinary fellow. He won a h?.t on tae last Presidential election." Buggins "What is remarkable about that?" Muffins "Why, bless my soul, he got the it!" Hope," said the new boarder at end of the table, "is the greatest factor of success. They were discussing abstruse prob lems. , . , "Oh, I don't know," remarked the man with the red mustache, "I'd rather have two pairs pat than a busted flush." The fellow who laughs loudly at every joke he hears is bound to ac quire great popularity. When a man wants a drop of whis key for a pain in the stomach we can usually see through him.

Need of a Similar Institution in North Carolina Better to Commit Youth ful Offenders to a State Reformatory or House of Correction Than to Send Them to the Penitentiary to Asso ciate With Hardened Convicts and Become Confirmed Criminals. The letter below is in reply to a series of questions sent by Mrs". C E. Craven to the Superintendent of the Reform School at Lansing, Mich. This school has been in operation forty-five years, and the letter below deserves your careful perusal: Lansing, Mich., Aug. 1, 1900. Mrs. C. E. Craven, Cor. Sec'y N. C. W. C. T. U., Concord, North Carolina, Dear Madam: In answer to yours of July 28th I would say that" it is impossible to give very much infor mation in detail regarding an institu tion of this kind in one letter. How ever, I will try to answer your ques tions. I will first give you a little history of this institution. It was established in 1855. We have about G50 boys at present. We have about 500 out on leave of absence all over the State. Our boys are received be tween the ages of 10 and 16 to remain until 17, unless sooner released. We keep th.7m here on an averaire of I about two years when, if they have i fair homes, we send them home on ! leave of absence, conditioned on their I good behavior until the expiration of ineir term ol commitment, the Board is the releasing power, having authority to release by leave of ab sence or discharge any inmate at any time. Our boys are taught trades as follows: Carpentering, shoeruaking, baking, tailoring, printing, engineer ing, painting and farming. We have 260 acres of land. We ought to have KKm:m).0 GREAT DEAL DEPENDS Upon the way an Advertisement is Written and Displayed -TO- Make it Most Effective. As much, perhaps, as the medium in which it is published. It recpuires no argument to prove that an indifferently put-together ad is calculated to attract but little attention. An Advertisement in the Gold Leaf, Receives no "blacksmith" treatment. Our patrons say we have a knack of getting up their ads in a neat and attractive manner, which compels them to be read. Hence, their effectiveness. Perhaps We Could do O-KX0XK:KH an acre of land to a boy. We have at present $60,000 a year appropriated by the Legislature for running ex penses. It costs about $112 per year per capita. With a smaller institu tion the cost would be a little more per capita. We have 50 employees and 12 school rooms. Our boys are in school 4$ hours each day and work 4i hours each day in alternation. Our institution is partially on the congre gated system, but largely on the fam ily system. Nearly all our boys live in cottages, 50 iu a family. These families are presided over by a gentle man and his wife, his wife being the teacher and the gentleman having charge of some other department. We work all the way from 10 to 200 boys on the farm through the sum mer, raising all the vegetables used in the institution. We use 5 barrels of flour every day for baking and bake every morning. It takes 12 bushels of potatoes for a meal. We do not manufacture anything in the institution that brings iu any reve nue. We do not believe in it. All our time and attention is given to training the boys in such a way as to benefit them in after life. We plan on having our boys self-supporting when they leave the school, or nearly so according to their ability. The boys who are out on leave of absence are doing well. I do not know just what percentage of our boys become self-supporting citizens, but it is esti mated that about 90 per cent, of them do well. It is the opinion of the peo ple of Michigan that this institution is most assuredly a paying institu tion, as one of our governors re marked several years ago that if it cost a per capita of $5,000 and the in stitution only saved one boy, if that happened to be his boy, he should think it paid. This institution was built formerly for a House of Correc tion, but the bolts, bars and walls have all been removed and it is now a 12 House Work is Hard Work without GOLD DUST. very line institution, conducted on the open system. I have been con nected with Ufa school for 27 years. Have been superintendent 7 years to day, and the boys are having a special holiday on accouut of it being my 7th anniversary. Nearly all of our "boys are quite low in their grades when coming to the school. I would say in regard to the limit of age that 18 years, in my opinion,- is preferable to 17, and I presume our law will be changed in that respect. We average something over 300 commitments a year. We raise from 7.000 to 8,000 dollars worth of produce on our farm each year. I will se'nd you under separate cover one of our last reports, which is nearly two years old, and one of the papers which we publish in our print ing ofiice. Hoping this will be satisfactory to you, I remain, Verv respectfully, J. E. ST. JOHN, Superintendent. CURES BLOOD POISON. Scrofula, Ulce.'s, Old Sores, Bone Pains Trial Treatment JFree.

Even Better by Yours COMPLIMENT TO MR. ST. JOHN. How His Friends Regard an An nouncement From London. (Baltimore Sun.) The Loudon dispatch published in the Sun yesterday, which stated that Vice-President St. John, of the Sea board Air Line, might be elected gen eral manager of the Grand Trunk Railroad of Canada, created much in terest in Baltimore financial and railroad circles. The fact that an English corporation of such con servatism as the Grand Trunk Com pany was discussing the able vice president of the Seaboard for a posi tion of this sort was taken by Mr. St. John's many Baltimore friends as a nice compliment. The Grand Trunk has over 4,000 miles in its system, and is an impor tant competitor of the American trunk lines from Chicago to the Atlantic Seaboard. It gridirons Ontario with its tracks and reaches a number of important points in Quebec. The East terminus of the system is at Portland, Maine. Friends of Mr. St. John in Baltimore do not believe that he would enter tain an offer to go with the Grand Trunk, as they feel that he has made the development of the Greater Sea board system his life's work and is a valuable ally in this respect of the president Mr. John Skelton Wil liams. The thiDgs we do worst are usually the things we do most. Lots of fellows make a good .front rithout much backing. A philosopher is a man who never attempts to argue with his wife. Some men borrow money for a rainy day, while others borrow umbrellas. 22, 1900. WHIPPING POST NEEDED CHEAPER AND MORE EFFECTIVE PUNISH MENT OF PETTY OFFENDERS. Give the Trial Justices "lore Latitude and Final Jurisdiction of Petty Crimes', Return to the Whipping Post as the Best, Cheapest and Host Effective Mode of Punishment and a Great Improvement Over Ex isting Conditions. .(Correspondence WiliniHgton Messenger.) Scott's Hill, N. C, October SOth. Editor Messenger: The Legislature will again be in session. Astharbody takes cognizance of legal remedies for the prevention of crime and the pro tection of society, with your permis sion I desire . to present a few facts which in my humble opinion, the General Assembly would do well to consider: On the statute books of North Caro lina are two laws which, in general, are not enforced against a certain class of persons. These two laws are polygamy and that statute which linds a definition in the Seventh com mandment. Any one who has ob served closely the criminal docket of our superior courts knows that few cases appear there for violation of the laws mentioned. The reason for this is not that these laws are not broken, but that an aversion to prosecute the wrongdoer rests in the public mind. Why does this aversion exist? Because if every violator of the before men tioned statutes was vigorously prose cuted in the courts, the jails and peni tentiary' would not accommodate the malefactors. The country, towns, and cities in Eastern North Carolina arc filled with them. The money necessary for their safs-keeping and support would run taxes far beyond the constitutional limit. Under our present system of punishments the laws mentioned are inoperative. Not only this but a large number of per sons are now serving terms in the State penitentiary for petty offenses, who, if a reformation were had in our mode "of punishment, would be gain ing their own support. Take for in stance a petty thief who appropriate! a pig, who is tried, convicted and sent to the State prison for two years He probably has a wife and a number of small children. As soon as his de parlure is taken his wife applies either for admission with her children to the county home or for an allow ance by the county commissioners to enable them to get along. Would it not be better for the criminal, the wife, the children and the tax-payers if the sheriff were empowered to place this offender in the stocks and administer a proper chastisement? Is it more humane to house this thief for two years in the penitentiary to be fed, clothed and doctored at the expense of honest people, many of whom are widows and orphans struggling for an existence? This whipping post is no new invention. It has done rood o service in the State in the days gone by. Its presence would wield a more more potent influence for the sup pression of vice than any one force now in the hands of justice. Before the Civil war the whipping post was an institution in North Caro lina, but when civil government was overturned bv the Federal armv in the South in 18C5 and negroes and carpet-baggers were, later on, placed in control of affairs, this mode of punishment was- not re-etablished, as it was very obnoxious to these wise and humane law-givers. The negroes were bitterly opposed to the lash and the carpet-baggers and seallawags could. not (even if disposed to) advo cate such a mode of punishment. They (the carpet-baggers) were in the same predicament in reference to this matter as was a colored preacher on one occasion, when asked did he talk about stealing in his sermons, and who replied by saying, "No sah! dat would throw a coldness on de meet in', sah." The penitentiary is slopping over and numbers of convicts are employ ed on farms in various parts of the State. Each of these convict farms is an institution of itself, that is to say, an establishment separated and disconnected from the central prison, requiring superintendenc e, overseers, guards, and all the munitae incident to order and discipline found neces sary at the Haleigh prison. This be ing so, each of these convict farms is a penitentiary of itself, and altogether they form one of the heavy items f expense, which the tax-payers r.f North Carolina must meet. Not only is this so, but the number of convicts is increasing, and if my information is correct, this penal colony is getting to be both burdensome and unwieldy. Like a cancer on a human body, it is eating itself into the vitals of the Commonwealth. Every General As sembly of North Carolina is sorely puzzled to know how to deal with this problem in a proper and econom ical way. The convict farms have but been experiments. They have never paid expenses except, perhaps, tn a few isolated instances. To check and punish crime is essen tial, and to do this in as economical and humane manner as is consistent with the needs of an enlightened civ ilization, is imperative upon the legislator. If the burdens of the tax-payers can be lightened, it is the duty of the General Assembly to do it, provided such relief does not jeopardize what is necessary to the best interests of the general good. If the whipping post was necessary as a corrective in ante-bellum days, it h more necessary now, in conse quence of the liberation of a large body of slaves who formerly were punished for small offenses by their owners, and who now furnish nine- i tenths of the penitentiary inmates. 1 R.

New Process for Treating Leather by Which it is Hade Waterproof and Fireproof. There is nothing new under the sun said Shakespeare or somebody else, but every now and then the con trary is proven. At any rate some thing new to the present age is brought forward, and as to whether it existed in past ages or not doesn't concern "weuns" in this the closing year of the nineteenth century. The "something new" of which we started out to speak is a new process which has been discovered in treatiug leather making a shoe both water proof and fireproof. This new pro cess is called virilizing. Leather so treated becomes impervious to water and will not burn as the ordinary article does. The raw leather is soaked in a solution of asbestos, this rendering it both fireproof and water proof. Thus wo have the "Vicilized Shoe," so?r.ething new under the sun. These shoes are made expressly for B. S. Aronson and are sold in Hender son exclusively byhira. They arecalled the "Aronson Shoe," and every pair is warranted. Anil Mr. Aronsoirs guar antee means something. His several years' business career in Henderson and his well known reputation for honesty and fair dealing have estab lished for Mr. Aronson a character for making good his promises, and when he puts his word, "If it's not all right I'll make it right," behind a sale the people know they can rely on it. The "Aronson Shoe" is advertised in this paper. Call on Mr. Aronson in the O'Neil Block and ask to be shown this shoe and have its superior merits explained to you. QUESTION ANSWERED.

Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appen dicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the By stem and Btop fermenta tion of undigested food, regulate the ac tion of the liver, stimulate the nervous nnd organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull mid bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of (Jreen's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. For sale bv the Dorsey Drug Co. A MONUMENT TO DR. WILEY. The proposition to ereet at Raleigh a monument in memory of the late Rev. Dr. Calvin II. Wiley, of the Pre byterian church, who was the founder of the common school system in North Carolina and has never been equalled since, is meeting with gratifying favor. He was a gentleman of ster ling worth, a scholar, an author and speaker of ability, and well merits the proposed honor in his memory. The Raleigh Times gives this pleasant glimpse at the work of one of the old eat and best friends this writer ever had: "In 1858 North Carolina had one of the best public school systems in the country, and paid its female teachers a higher average salary thsn any other State. In all the cruel years of war, the school-house door was not completely closed, and as well as the trying conditions jermitted the school" were carried on. Indeed the school children were as fortunate in their way as the soldiers, whom Vance kept in food and clothing. While the other States in the Confederacy clos ed their schools and suspended the entire system, there was still a limit ed opportunity presented to the Caro lina children. It is aid that Mr. Wiley did not leave his office as Sup erintendent of Public Instruction un til Kilpatrick's cavalry came march ing up Fayetteville street."
