Tbe weakest cause always needs the most argument that is why he talks to much against the idea that our women folks shuld have the time to occasionally rut themselves k? from household rare like we men folks da Our Home says: "l'ditor Beasley said he didn't have any intention to butt in' this contro versy, but he must have muted in. and now he can either root bark out or stand up to the trough and bold his ground, lie may have come in through sympathy for the weaker side, but he ought not to let his sym pathy get the better of his judgment If he gets so confused that he can't find the place where he rooU-d in. we II give him tune to root out at another place when he gets tired stay ii:g in our pen." We herewith introduce Urother Archibald Johnson of Charity and Children, w ho does some rooting as follows, which applies to all women who are chained down to the house hold grind, wherever they live: "The Monroe Journal went after lirotlier (ireene of Our Home last week, because of the criticism of the latter upon wvnien who attend 'soci eties' and leave their children at home The Monroe man is on the top this time and no mistake. Wom en in the country do not leave the home and the children half enough. NoImhIv else lives so narrow and bleak a life as the wife of the average far mer. There are exceptions, to tie sure, but these only prove the rule. The insane asylums tell the tale. More fanners' wives lly oil into the darkness of insanity than anv other class. Tins ought not to be so. It would not be so if a little more light were let into the lives of these mar tj rs to their households The trouble is not that the labor is so heavy and hard, but it is the weary monotony, the ceaseless grind and unending care that dethrone the reason and too often wreck the health of these faith ful and iin.omplaining women. A little break now and then in this dreary and desolate monotony would serve to brace the nerves and lighten the load. An evening each week spent in thecompanv of other toilers and a pleasant interchange of expe riences, would work wonders in the lives of these women. We rejoice to hear of the formation of a book club for instance in a country community or a missionary society, or a 'salma gumli.'or anything in the world that serves to change the current of weary woman's life; and shame bete the man who would sav them nav.or grumble at a cold supper, or talk about neglected children, when his wife is gathering strength for her task all too heavy at best.

There was no As to a Democratic Platform. The Richmond Times - Dispatch says, in the course of an editorial on what the iH'tnocratic party should stand for: "Our greatest victory since the war was in 1SH2, when we went before the people on an ideal plat form, with tanff-for-revcniie-only as the paramount issue." And that is the time that the Dem ocratic party, with ample majority in Congress and a (tetnncratic president, showed itself absolutely incapable of enacting a tariff-for-revenue -only. Has our contemporary forgot that the party failed to do the very thing that it was put into power to do? From that campaign till this good day the country has shown no incli nation to listen to Democratic elo quence on this subject. The party failed to make good any difference between a revenue tariff and a pro bative tariff, and the people will not enthuse again. The Charlotte Ob server, in commenting on the edito rial from which the above extract is taken, says: "My! but the talk of 'an ideal Democratic platform, with tariff- for-revenue-only as the paramount issue' and no thought of a debased currency ana other compromising vagaries, is calculated to thrill. We cannot agree with our contem porary. The tariff was once a great question, and is today, but not in the sense that its solution is so pressing as others. Since the Cleveland vic tory of 1892, when the party failed to make good, otber questions have arisen that overshadow this old one. Think what a platform such as the old ideal one would be, would mean now a bundle of platitudes that would have little bearing on real present day questions. It would stand for "individual rights, freedom and individualism," says the Indianapolis News. It would stand for these in graceful platform flourishes and turn red in the face at the suggestion that the forces that are rapidly making these things impossible should be bridled. Any menace to individual liberty from legislation in this coun try has long since passed. Tbe fearful accumulation of power in the hands of a few men through the con trol of immense corporate wealth, is the thing that is strangling individ ual rights and freedom in this coun try, even the freedom of States, and yet the old time, ideal Democracy, regard this assertion as a piece of Kutherfordton branch, it is pretty safe to think that the situation will require big shops. This has Urn hinted at already. The story of the new road is told in the Chailotte i server as follows, and what is said as to Charlotte applies with more than equal force to Monroe: Much has Uvn said lately of the new South A Western Railway, w hich is to be run from the coal and iron fields of east Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia to tlie Atlantic Seaboard. Railroad men have thought the Seaboard Air Line was hacking the new road iinancially Recent developments go to show that the current rexrts are true. Then is but little doubt that the men who are furnishing the money for the con struction of the new road are holders of big slices of SeaUwrd Air 1. lin stock. It is lielieved that the two roads are to all intents and purposes one. The South & Western road extends from F.Ik horn, Ky., via F.rwin, Tenn , to Spruce Pine, this Shite. The line from Spruce Pine to Marion is now U'ing built, several thousand labor ers being employed in the work When the road is finished to Marion, it will then be run to Kutherfordton, a distance of a Unit 21 miles. At Kutherfordton the new line will in tersect theSeaUwrd road, which con nects with Charlotte, Monroe, Wil mington and the coast at Southport. t mm Kuiherfordton, the new road will be extended to Spartanburg. S. ('., where it will connect with the Charleston and Western' Carolina road, running to Augusta, (la , and on to the Atlantic SeaUard at Port Royal, S. C. Should one take the trouble to examine the map of this section, it will be seen that the new road will be a direct route from the coal and iron fields of eastern Ten nessee, Kentucky and West Virginia to the sea coast. This means much for Charlotte. It will give the city direct connec tion with the coal fields and thus the heavy freight charges which have been such a heavy burden in the past will be materially lowered. The fact that the two roads will be under the same management will assure better service as well as cheaper rates. At present the coal fields are ap proximately 375 miles from Char lotte. Should a maniifrcturer order a car of coal direct from Pocahonias, which is practically the center of the coal district it would come via Lynch- turg, a., travelling the distance named aUive. By the new route, via Kutherfordton, Marion, Johnson City and the coal fields of Fast Tennessee or Kentucky, the distance is only ap proximately 27S miles, which is 100 miles shorter than the present route. This will mean a saving of at least 50 cents on the ton, with the possi bility of a further reduction if the two lines compete. The new road will connect with the Chesapeake A Ohio at Flkhorn Ky., which give it a direct line into Cincinnati and points in the Middle West In this way the great grain and provision centers of the country will be brought into closer relation ship with Charlotte. Tbe building of the Panama Canal will give influence and prestige to the Southern seaports. The con struction of this new railroad con necting the seaport with tbe Middle West will! increase the trade of the shipping centers and all intervening points on tne connecting road. In anticipation of the heavy traffic that will have to be hauled over the line running from Charlotte to Ruth erfordton when tbe new line is fin ished already a survey has been made of the track from Monroe to Rutherford ton, and during the next rear, many of the heavy grades will be cut down, the line will be straight ened and other improvements made. owns and operates a l.uge ginning and milling hint at tins pia.v They have a g d scl.ovl and a line vhool building - WciMmgtoii Academy.

The next place of special interest was Prices Mill lie fore reaching there, however, I passed many nice country homes and si vcral good churches and school houses, which go to show that the people are wide awake and progressive. I found two large stores at Trices Mill, (hie is run by Mr 11 I.. Price and Moore Kros. Thev carry a general hue of merchandise and are doing an ex tensive business. The other one is run by the Pi ice-Ib liiliy Co. who are doing a tremendous business at this place, handling a general line. The first car h ad of buggies that ever went to a country store can lie found at this place. They also have a large store at Stout, which is their ship ping point, buying the gods mostly in car load lots. This tirm has re cently been incorporated with A. J. Price president, J. D. Ileniby treasur er and J. X. Price secretary and gen eral manager. They have a large paid in capital with privilege of in creasing to s.VI.OOO. They also own and operate a large milling and gm ing plant at this place. This sivtion has one church i Methodist which has recently U-eii painted. They also have a good school, the well known Wesley Chapel graded sclim It will lie remetnliered that this is the first rural graded school ever es tablished in Xorth Carolina. This school was established through the influence of lion. J. X. Pine. Mr Price realizing the fact that they needed a school, conceived thi idea that such a school would meet the demands of bis people. With the co-operation of his neighbors. among them II L. Price, R. II How ie, S. O. Howie and others, he went to work, framed the bill, s-cured its passage in tbe legislature, which gave them an election that was car ried by an overwhelming majority Xow they have one of the best schools and one of the nicest school houses in the county. The school house has been recently painted. Prof. II. F Stacy is principal of the school and is ably assisted by the Misses Ash- craft and Thompson. This section also has a large number of good cit izens. Among them is ( apt. S. (J Howie, Fsq. J. II. Winchester, Robt Fowler. W. I), llawfield, E. M. Moore and others. The next place of interest was Mr. r. M. Suttion s. I found him as us- oal, busy. He belongs to that class of farmers who are employed twelve months in the year. Mr. Sutton is a fair specimen of success in In ion county. He began in early life poor boy and now be is one of the largest land owners in the county. lie is siso extensively engaged in saw milling and ginning.
