POOR KUADS AKE A CURSE.
When the people can be made to
understand that it actually costs
more in time andmouev to 'ri el
over a poor road than it does to
travel over a trood one. 1 liev will be
less inclined to begrudge the
expense of good roads, and what is
of more importance still will be
willing and anxious to pot the busi
ness of road making into the hands
of intelligent men who understand
the business Foor roads are the
expensive thing that curse a
country district.
The BUbject has received more
discussion and consideration dur.
iiii? the last few months than for
years and better results in some
way are sure to follow just so long
aa the ' eople are interested and
kep striking for this important
and great need.
New Berne and Craven county
have suffered no little through
some of our miserable roads and
they will contime to be an abomina
tiou and hindrance to travel and
traffic as long as the present
syntcm of working roads is contin
ued. At the Chijago Expoitiou it is
proposed to have a comprehensive
exhibit of improved roads and road
machinery. In lact all over the
United States the peoplw are see
ing the necessity for good roads,
aud not leave them pracetically to
take care of themselves, realizing
that a few dollars spent in patch
work is only money thrown away.
In Missouri this interest in most
marked, nnder the leadership of the
State Board of Agriculture. In
Pettis county the farmers have
petitioned that the county be
bonded to the .raount of f 100,000
for the purpose of iiuildmg roads.
In Si:ort county a ubcnpiion has
been net apart to grade and gravel
the county road. In .Jasper county
half the saloon license tax is to be
expended npon the main traveled
roads of the county. In Callaway

I BLEEDING DOES NOT HURT PINES.
North Carolina bears the name
I of being noted for tnr, pitch, and
tur entine, and while most of her
piuea have been bled, it will be
gratifying to the owners of this
timber to know that test trials have
proven that the process of extract
ing the turpentine from the tree
does uot injure the quality of
timber.
the
Iu Circular 8 of the
Forestry
!:....,, ..i,i.-w.,,i !.., n
i n . o u , 1 1 u ui in in u miuui a j co ,
ago, it was stated that tests made
on timbers of Longleaf Tine, bled,
or unbled, lent countenance to the;
belief 1 hat bled or tapped timber
did uot suffer in strength by
virtue of the tapping. Further
tests and examinations permit now
the announcement without reserve j
that the timber of LoDgieaf Fine is ;
in no way effected by the tapping
for turpentine. This refers to its;
mechanical as well as chemical j
properties, and hence even the!
reservation that it might suffer in;
durability is now eliminated and j
any prejudice against the use of
bled timber in construction,
wherever the unbled timber hasj
been considered desira de, must 1
fall as having no foundation in fact
being based only on vague belief,
proved to be erroneous.
It is to be hoped that this fact
will be made widely known among
builders, architects, and engineers
who have hitherto made discrimina
tion against bled timber and there
by depreciated or discouraged the
manufacture and impeded the sale
of an article which answers all the
purposes of construction and the
unrestricled use of which is dicta
ted by true economy.
The basis for the statement
regarding the mechanical properties
is furnished by a series of tests
comprising not less than .'S00 trees
of thin Pine, bled and unbled, from
various localities.
The somewhat puzzling fact that
bled timber exhibited, if any thing
greater strength in the tests has
beeu accounted for by tht fact that
the turpentine orchards are located
mostly ou sites winch pi educe
better quality timber as well as
large yield of turpentine.

To iii.ik" stlie f It it experience did
not, it sided down, contradict the
result.- of these investigations, a
competent agent, Mr. F Kith,
visited turpentine orchards and
sawmills in the Longleaf Pine
region. He reports that nobody
was found although it was claimed
by some able to discern any dif
ference in the appearance of the
bled and unbled timbei; that in
spite of comsumers' specifications
for nnbled timber, they are almost
invariably served with a mixture
without finding it oat; that experi
ence in the districts where bled
timber is cnt and used has not
sustained the claim of inferiority.
This information is furnished in
advance of the full report on the
investigations in question in order
to remove as qnickle as possible
the unwarranted discrimination
against the product of nearly one
million acies of Sonthern pine,
which are annually added to the
total acreage in turpentine orch
ards. This result of authoritative
investigation should be worth
several million dollars to thefoiest
ry interests of the South, permit
ting readier use and sale for a
product that left uncut endangers
the future of tne forest by the
destructive (ntlagratioti8 to which
it is specially subject.

j FROM ASHEVILLE TO MURPHY.
!
i More of the Series of "Wayside Notes"
j Gathered by Rev. Edward Bull
sn Hig Fair Trip.
The line of railroad connecting these
places is one which was to be constructed
by Mr. Best according to the terms of the
sale in 1880. It was long ago completed
and is, juir Krctllencf, "the scenic route"
in all North Carolina.
The triumphs of engineering skill as
exhibited at many points on the Western
North Carolina road, and especially,
among the '"gyrations" about Round
Knob always very much engross the at
tention of the trayeler and chal
lenge his admiration, and that whole
region is filled with beautiful and mag
nificent views, and landscapes unfolding
at every turn.
And of course the view from the sum
mit of Mt. Mitchell highest and goodli
est of all moumtains where Western
North Carolina seems spread out like a
map before us, and stretches away in
every direction from th.s central summit
till the mountains appear by distance to
diminish to hills, aud the lulls to plains,
and the eye can rest upon and recognize
six of the sisterhood of States is one of
rare and surpassing grandeur.
But the "Murphy Branch" has a way
of its own, and while it furnishes new
sensations to the traveler by its unusual
features in railroading, it unfolds a long
series of landscapes, and mountains, and
mountain streams and gorges, many of
which arc the very gems of North Caro
lina scenery.
The distance from Ashevillle in one
hundred and twenty three miles, and as
it will be an all days' ride we shall have
abundant time to enjoy the views and as
the thermometer registersseveral degrees
liclow zero, we will of course keep cool,&n
not get excited.
We pull out from the station just as
the suu is rising and in a few minutes
run across the French Broad, of which
we have a tine view from the bridge. The
river is frozen across in many of its quiet
eddies somethingwbich has not occurred
ir. many years, but not here, for jits rapid
current prevents freezing, and sends the
floating ice all broken into fragments,
rustling and grinding on its way.
A few Miiles farther on and the train
steps at a station called White Sulphur
Springs. It is only a little way from the
celebrated Springs of that name. We
were there last year, when the fine Hotel,
since destroyed by tire, was standing,
and went down to the place where the
health giving waters gush up from their
fountains. The water is clear and bright
but the flavor is like the answer to Dr.
Holmes conundrum: "Why is an onion
like a piano? Because it smell odious
thats the way it smells.
For a dozen miles there is nothing to
specially interest one, except that the
high and rugged mountains on either
hand, covered with several inches of snow
and radiant with the morning sunlight,
have an ever changing appearance, and
continually present new forms of beauty
as the windings of the road, bring them
no different relative positions to each
other.
Thet. we begin to climb upward. The
dirt road runs along in the valley, on one
side a little stream, on the other the
farm houses nestled under the sheltering
side of the mountain. We ascend slowly,
the engine seeming by its distinct and
emphatic puffs to be laboring and strain
to pull us up. Up above the houses, no
we can look down into the chimneys, up
above the ttrcc tops, till we wind away
from sight of the dirt road and are envel
oped in the deep forest.
After fifteen miles of this slow and te
dious climbing, that is thirty miles from
Asheville, we reach Waynesville, a beau
tiful little town of six hundred or seven
hundred people, the houses built upon
the moderately steep side of the moun
tain, so as to rise one above anotticr like
the seats in a gallery or circus. It is the
highest health resort in North Carolina,
with excellent hotels for invalids or tour
ists. When we left Asheville we were
2350 feet above the sea level, now we
-ave climbed five hundred feet, and at
tained an altitude ot 2750 feet.
But we have not yet reached the cul
mination. By another run of six miles
we ascend three hundred feet higher, and
are at the Balsam, more than 3,000 above
the sea level, and on the highest pass cast
of the Rockies.
And now we commence climbing down.
Slow as was the'rate of ascent, we can
make but little better time in going down.
The puffing of the engine has ceased for
no steam is used in the descent. The con
ductor cautions the train hands to se
that the brakes are all right and so,
with brakes close set and throttle closed
we go down towards the valley. It is
four miles down to Hall's station and
sometimes the wheels and brakes become
so hot that when the bottom of the des
cent is reached it is necessary to wait for
them to cool before preceding.
Just after leaving the Balsam we pass
through one of the roughest and most
magnificently wild sections of country
anywhere to lie found. The road runs
upou terraces cut in the side of the
mountain, so hieh above the water that
flows in a mad torrent at the bottom of
the gorge, that the tops of the trees grow
ing there are on a Uevel with the car win
dowsand only a few yards away, and passes
over long and airy trestles upon whicn
we experience the exhilarating sensation
of being suspended in mid air. In due
time we complete the descent safely, and
run outjtnto a nne open section oi coun
try.
There is a fair amount of travel upon
this road even in the winter seaaon'and in
this severe weather, and the freight trains
are often heavv. In ascending the
mountain it is usual with the freight and
not infrequent with the passenger trains
to divide the train, and take up one part,
and placing it upon the siding, return for
the remaining part
A year ago an accident occurred upon
this "farther slope two days before we
passed over. A part of the train had been
taken upon and the engine was return
in.' backing down for the balance of
the train. There were upon it three
train hands in addition to the engineer
and fireman. For some reason which
. ill never be known the engine became
t unmanageable w hen about two miles
from the Balsam, and rushed down the
steep decline, gathering speed at every
revolution. A mile further on is a gorge
throturh which flows a stream called
Seotts creek, perhaps a hundred feet wide,
. across which is a trestle about thirty feet
: high. The tresthe is not in aline wilh
the road at this place, but turns to the
j left in quite a sharp curve just at the
hither edge of the creek. At this point
I tne engine, flying down the grade with all
i its accelebrated speed and power, jumped
the track, and with one learlul leap
nearly clearing thr creek, landed upon a
rock in the bottom of the stream, hard
against the father shore.
The engineer and fireman and one of
the train bauds were instantly killed.
Another was cut and bruised Verv severe-
Iv, out recoveieu. l ne nun manescapeu
without a scratch. The liody of the en
gineer was carried to Waynesville, for in-
1 terntent upon the same train mat we
j went, and was buried by the United
! Brotherhood of Enginers. The R. and
j D. road placed a coach for their use, and
j wearing the very neat and pretty regalia
of their order, andjaccompaniedjjby their
j wives and sweet hearts, they held the
I obsequies in the Methodist church, and
j gave him back to earth in the quiet grave
yard far up the hillside, which looks
I ever toward the sunrise. B.
