In talking to an Observer man of the proposed electric railroad to con nect the country round about Hender sonville, a resident of that place said: "We had had our little troubles' in getting the voters out on the bond is sue, but they are over, for we carried five of the townships out of seven. The following is the vote for and against in townships: "Hendersonville township quali fied voters 691 for the bonds, 361 against 330; majority for 31. 'Mills River, qualified voters 276: for bonds, 135; against 95; majority against 6. "Blue Ridge, for bonds 93; qualified voters 258; against 57: majority against 72. "Clear Creek, qualified votors for bonds 68; against 26; majority 119; for bonds 17. "Edneyville, qualified voters 286: for bonds 206; against 21; majority for 155. "A meeting will be held in the county of Buncombe in a few days where the bond issue is sure to carry or they get no road. Polk will be asked to vote this month also. "This road is no pipe dream, as you hinted in your paper a few days ago. The day is not far distant that we will see Charlotte and this mountain country connected by an electric road as enough power can be had at Broad river to run all of the machinery in the State. "Another vote will be taken in the townships that voted it down as they did not quite understand what was wanted of them; burnt children are afraid of the fire." ALMOST PERFECT.

In a former issue of The Sun I gave my views on "Death and The Grave," and promised to give my views of the other side at some future time, hence this article. Theorists have theorized, speculators have speculated, and the imagination of man has exhausted its powers in efforts to grasp the "Great Beyond." but there has never yet been given to man the power of conception to even conceive any definite understanding of what lies just across the border line, where life temporal gives way to life eternal. No traveler has e're returned from that mysterious realm to give one single item ef information, hence man is left to con jecture the realities of life eternal. No sane man doubts for one moment the immortality of the soul the future state of the spiritual essence of man, but just to know what that state is, has been and is to-day the burden of every man's desires and expectations. If we could lift the veil and look into our fu ture relations with God and Eternity we could not be made any happier than we are while contemplating the imagin ary glories that await the finally faith ful. We might go back to the Garden of Eden and listen to the promise given the first pair, and then follow along the line of their descendants down to the present day and gather all the words of promise as they have fallen from the lips of the emaculate and all the retinue of the inspired saints who pleaded and promised, and our understanding of what awaits us just "over the river" of time would be as indefinite and unsettled as it is to-day, with all the light which has been given us by Prophets and Apostles. That there is a future state, we must admit. But where is it? What is it? And how is it? No man can tell God alone knows and He keeps His own secrets. Yet, in the night of death, hope sees a star and listening love hears the rustle of a wing. The human intellect has fruitlessly exhausted its powers in ef forts to grasp the infinite. I have sat and watched the smile as it played upon the face of the sleeping babe, and imag ined that it was a type of Heavenly beauty ; I have listened to the human voice, as it poured forth its thoughts that burst- their channels into song, and imagined its notes were akin to seraphic strains ; I have gazed upon the rain-bow as it spanned the arching sky and paint ed its blended hues upon the bosom of the retiring cloud and felt that it was a reflection of that which encircles the Throne of the Eternal ; I have meditated upon the vision of the Apocalytic Sier, as he describes the Descending City, with its pearly gates, its jasper walls and its golden streets; but just as the mind is filled with enwraptured con ceptions, a voice whispers, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither has it entered the mind of man, the things which God has in store for those who love and serve Him," and there 1 am forced to stop, to pause and to wonder, until God shall reveal to me. as he cer tainly will sometime, somewhere, what lies across the border line on the other side of life.

We are on the top side of the earth part of the time or on top of what is left. The Powers road law may be far from perfection, but our system for working public roads is much farther, or really we have no sys tem at all. Some three weeks ago we hired a hand and gave him $1.35 to do two days work on road, and would wager a watermelon that not 35 cents worth of that labor remains of any service to the road. Public highways in the bottom of great gullies is good roads with a vim, and more vim than most of us like. Good roads and good school facilities is to a locality what virtue, dilligence and industry joined with good temper, pru dence, economy and domestic tranquility is to the home. Only a few months ago one of our prominent citizen left this regiou for a place more elevated, (that is elevated above tide water anyway) known as Union Mills. He said the school was not satisfactory to him, hence his removal.. A very clever and intelligent man with a large family living a number of miles away desired to cast his lot at or near this place, after looking into the school matter, decided that the corn was not shelled, so he would drive on toward Round Hill Academy. The above is written without malice toward anyone, and only the naked facts appear, as we see them. Our conviction is that we have some of the purest and finest men and women to be found anywhere in the South. It is a good atmosphere in which to be born and in which to grow up in and obtain physical manhood from the cool mountain breezes which ever hover the highest peaks of old Ball and Chim ney Rock and surrounding mountains. Our people have conceived some fine old fashioned ideals of honor and reverence for gentle and sacred things. Farmers "should not be discouraged from the fact that last year's grain crop was a failure. Next year's crop will more than likely be a good one, hence we should seed a reasonable portion of wheat and oats this fall. Stubble land is not preferable for a seed bed, but if it must be sown' no time should be lost in turning stubble for same, then harrow and reharrow until seed time, which will be about the 15th of October for this section. Turnip seed that has not been sown should be sown at once. A small piece of land well prepared will give the house wife many extra dishes for fall and win ter use. Just try it! Born to Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Freeman on the 6th, a daughter. The Grove meeting closed 5th with some sixteen or eighteen additions to the church. Mr. Marvin Wallace and wife have moyed to the Mrs. Sarah Milton place, where he is in the saw mill business. Mr. Joe Walker and family have moved to Jay Gossett's house, where he is also in the saw mill business. Mr. G. W. Bryant and Mr. Luther Nanney, of Union Mills, visited friends at this place last Sunday. Work On The New Railroad. The Marion correspondent of The News & Observer, says : From all ap pearance Marion will soon have another railroad hear her doors. The South & Western continues the work of hauling through town to the McNeely camp wagon loads of supplies, carts, dyna mite, mules and negroes. They 'have three camps between Marion and the Spruce Pine end of the road and the work of construction is making rapid headway. There are some six or seven hundred men employed and more com ing in on every train. They want to place about five thousand men in the works, it is said. , AGONIZING BURNS are instantly relieved, and perfectly healed, by Bucklen's Arnica Salve. C. Rivenbark, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., writes: "I burnt my knee dreadfully; that .it blistered all over. - Bucklen's Arnica Salve stopped the pain, and healed it without a scar." Also heals all wounds and sores. 25$ at all iragpst. DISTRICT CONFERENCE. Convened at Forest City Last Week. A Hospitable People. (Special to The Observer.) FOREST CITY, August 12. The Morganton District Conference convened in the M. E. church, South, of this place Thursday. Rev. Joseph H. West, the genial sub-bishop, is presiding over the sessions, with all the ease and dignity that have made him so popular with his people. Rev. J. B. Carpenter was elect ed secretary, a position he has held for ten years. The reports of the sixteen pastors la boring in the district indicated great material and spiritual growth. Up to the present time it has been the most prosperous year in the history of the district. The lay representation is not large, but those present are taking an exceed ingly active part in the proceedings of the conference and seem to be keenly alive to all the interests of the church. J. N. Biggerstaff, J. W. Griffin, J. B. Boyd and A. C. Reynolds were elected as lay delegates to the annual confer ence. S. A. McDaniel and J. O. Erwin were licensed to preach. Yesterday af ternoon's session was devoted to the ed ucational interests. Profs. Reynolds, Weaver and Bishop presented the claims of their schools upon the patronage and benevolence of the Church and made inspiring address es upon the subject of "Christian Edu cation." Dr. W. W. Bays, financial agent of Rutherford College, followed with a great speech upon the eternal character of the intellect and upon the benefits derived from its culture. He then proceeded to take one of his "dol lar collections," by which quite a hand some sum was secured for the school. The preaching has been done by W. A. Newell, D. F. Carver, J. D. Arnold, L. E. Perlee and N. R. Richardson. The various pulpits of the town and sur rounding villages will be filled to-morrow by the members of the conference. No conference ever received more royal entertainment than has been con ferred upon us by the good people of Forest City. The pastor of the church here was called to the bedside of his brother at Stanley, on the eve of the conference, but his committee performed their work well and the homes of the people, irrespective of denominational lines, were thrown open to the delegates.
