Lenoir has the opportunity now to say whether she will take a step for ward as a muniolpity or standstill. If she votes for bonds and puts in a Water and Sewerage system with street Improvements, she is simply doing a duty to her self and the ris ing generations. If she does not vote the bonds it will be a simple neglect of duty. On our recent trip West we were struck with the intensive farming done in that part of the country. The Orange Groves of Cali fornia are cultivated as carefully as a garden. Not a weed is allowed to grow. The people say the land is too valuable to let it grow weeds and they want all the substance to go to the nourishment of the orange trees. Ten to twenty acres of that flue irri gated land makes a good sized farm and by careful thorough cultivations they make big crops. In as much as some misunderstand ing seems to exist in regard to the po sition of the News, in reference to the Bowling Alley discussion now go ing on in our columns, we deem it proper to say a few words in regard thereto. All Intelligent persons aware that a paper is not responsible for the views and statements of its correspondents and it frequentl does not sanction the proprity of certain matters being agitated iu the prpers, vet the columns of a paper are, in a sense public property and if its read '. era wish to air their views in them, wt feel that they should be allowed to do so, provided always the discussion is carried on decently and in the prop er spirit. In the present instance matter of considerate Interest Is being discussed and we trust it will result in a better feeling among the parties and a broader understanding of the views of all interested. The News in no way taking sides in the matter and is only willing that the discusion be contiued on the ground that it be free from personal abuse and i in prop er criticism, trusting only good will result there from. Tktefi deed and Bat la Old CaMwell. ttood things: Good graded school building in Lenoir, and a number of good public school buildings in the county. As to the teachers in these schools I put this question: Are the teachers in the public schools in the countv districts as good as them in the Lenoir Graded school? If not why not? Are the district com mis sloners careful enough iu selecting teachers both from a moral and mental standpoint? I fear not, more money needed in order to se cure better teachers? Would not more young men and women pre: themselves for teaehert JTbsHSf pr were beiag-ptld or teaching? tot loeal taxation solve the nroblem In eoontrt districts? Next to paying the simple expenses of tb preached gospel what better irest iuent ean a people make of their money than to put it into the men tal training of their children? An other good thing I noticed was good church schools. 1 belive in church schools. Why? Because men and women are divinely built Three stories high. First story, th bodily. Second story the mental third story the spiritual. The states ean only educate two stories; the physical and mental. The church alone educates the trinue man edu eatet him for Christian citizenship while the state educates for citizen ship only. However let their be no trife between church and State, through it public school system ed ueateasfaras it will for good citi tenth I p but let Christian parents see that their children are educated for the kingdom of heaven as well as for the 8Ute. I am proud of old Caldwell as the place of my birth May she ever maintain her noble record for intelli gent citizenship. Next week I will write on two ibad things in my old county. I write not for controversy but only to stimulate to the beet in thing. ,' , , D. H. Tottlb, Fayettevllle, N. C, Aug. 81st, 1905, The enthusiasm of many people sot far from lying. , eea Kansas City St Louis Home. We left Denver on the evening of July 8rd. over the Union Pacific and pent the glorious 4th. travellngover the plains of Kansas. - Da y -1 1 g h t found ns la Western Kansas among II - 1 a. . . 1L.1 A A.l. 4. I I me wneat neiun mat aireiuu uui iu I all directions as far as the eve oan reach, harvesting was on . and not- ith-standing It was a national holi day, many laborer! were In the har vest fields. The wheat was cut usu ally by a heading machine, operated by one man with 8 to S horses. The machine was driven In front of the team and outs the heads of the wheat and about one foot of the stalk This fell upon an endless canvass belt or conveyor and-was carried to a wa gon which in driven along side of the reaper. One man drives the wagon and another paoks the wheat into large frame bed 18 to 20 feet long and five feet deep. When the wagon bed full the wheat is thrown up in long ricks, not stacked as we do in this country. Three men and 5 to horses will do the work or many hands in the old way with scythe and cradle. The machines will cut from 13 to 24 feet swath at a time and is manipulated by one man who rides on the machine and drives. As we came on east many hobos or tramps, who had gone to that part of the country to work In the harvest, were seen along the road and at every stop they would try to get aboard our train. In western Kansas there are many miles of plank fences along the railway to protect it from snow drifts in winter. When we came into the vicinity of Junction City, Fort Riley, Manhat tan and Tope k a, we saw fine fields of corn and very fertile lands along the Caw river valley although the river was up and much of the fine corn and wneai was under water. At many places the people were celebrating the 4th by large gatherings with horse racing, ball games, speakings, etc. There is much fine farming land In Kansas and there are numerous thrif ty looking towns and cities We reached Kansas City in the late afternoon where we took supper and had about an hour to look around. Kansas City is a big hustling place with a large business and everything on the go. The large packinghouses and cattle pens there cover acres of ground and there is a great deal of wealth there. Our car was placed on the Wabash tracks at that place and we came over that line a pleasant run to St Louis, arriving there on the 5th about 10 a. m. We did not see much of Missouri on the return trip, though what we did see was fine farming land with endless corn fields. At St Louis our pleasant party dis banded each of us returning to our homes by different routes after a months most pleasant association. During this time we made many new and pleasant acquaintances and the memory of the trip will ever be a pleasant one. Our special train in the months time traveled nearly 9, 000 miles over various lines of railway and we were at all times shown pleas ing and appretiated courtesies by the railroad people. Our run from St Louis with a brief stop at Ashevilie with the North Car olina Press Association was a pleas ant one and we arrived in Lenoir on July 7th. lacking only a day of five weeks from the time we started. During this time we traveled a dis tance of about 10,000 miles and iu seventeen states and territories with out any accidents or mishaps to iu any way mar the pleasure of the out ing. Imprkssiohs. Oklahoma and Indian Territory are developing at a pnenomlnally rapid rate and there are farming lands there in abundance to be had cheap. The cities and towns are growing up like mushrooms and there are many opportunities for making money there. Texas is empire or itseir ana one can nnd any kind of land he want in her borders, wxejjoUcfins tEaTHT Ilialre two bales of cotton to Ihe acre, to arid rocky plains that only serve to hold the world together. In Cali fornia with her 1100 miles of sea coast stretching farther than from Charles ton to Boston, one can find any kind of climate and soil he wants. It I a state of great wealth and big things and "to get in the push" there one must have capital to invest. Oregon ha a great deal of fine country, so ha Idaho, Washington, Utah and Colorado and with irriga tion they will support a hundred times the people they now have. They all want immigrants and there are many opportunities for making money in any of these states If a man strike it right. The people of the west are the greatest advertis ers on earth and spare neither time nor money to tell of theirad vantages and opportunities. Everyman who succeeds is extensively advertised and lauded, while the hundreds who fail are not mentioned. Taking all things into considera tion, if a man is making a comforta ble living and enjoying good health in North Carolina it 1 hot wise for him to break up and go west. If he will use the same energy here that be ha to nse ont there he will do well and enjoy life more. If however he wants to accumulate dollar and is willing to do almost anything to ae complish that end, he will find many more opportunities In the west than are to be f onnd in the older state. But a far a we are concern ed, we would not exchange Western North Carolina for any of the west we saw. H. C. M Shu lb Appearand el Evil. HKLKCTKD. I n tho eastern part of our country there lived a man on a hill just out side the city limits, who had his place of business In the city. It was his custom to go to and from his place of business on the cars to a little station at the foot of the hill on which he lived. His survent would drive him to the station in bis carriage in the morning and meet him with his oar rlage in the evening and drive him home. As the road leading from the station to his home was-a very dan gerous one, leading for the most part of the way close to the brow of the hill, he felt that he could no longer trust his present servant as a driver, so he advertised for a new servant. On the day appointed three men pre sented themselves for the position, He told the first one to take the car riage and drive to the station and show how well he oould drive. The man drove just as near the precipice as he thought possible, but reached the station in safety. He supposed by so doing he could best show his skill as a driver. The second was asked to make the drive. He supposed that in order to excel the first, he must drive nearer the precipice, so he made the wheels of the carriage go a little near er, the rocks and clods were pushed by the wheels down over the preci pice into the valley below, but he reached the statin u in safety. The third man was asked to make the trial. He first examined the carriage and harness to see if all were in per fect condition. He then started to drive to the station, but instead of driving as near to the precipice as possible, he kept just as far from it as possible. The man at once said he was the man he wanted. 'I want saia ne trie man who will keep as far from danger as possible." There is safety only in keeping as far from danger as possible.

Denver, Col. .If a man begin to court trouble, he usually ends by marrying it.' A Spunky Girl. Fayettevllle Observer. Here Is a rainbow bubble floating on the eurfaoe of the social swim in this eity. A short time since a girl from another part of the State was the guest of a leading family, a girl full of life and chic, but with plenty of hard seuse, and well able to take care of herself. One of the "golden youth'' Invited her to take a buggy ride, and, after they had proceeded on their way a hundred yards or bo, he turned to her and said, with un pardonable impatience and freedom "Miss, I have heard that you are pretty fast' "Oh, yon; have eh?" she replied, flashing a look at hliu "Hand me the reins, and I'll show you how fast I am." He relinquished the reins, suposlng that she would put the horse out at a 9:40 gait, to illustrate her rapidity. On the eon trary, she deliberately made a circle, turning the vehicle around, drove back to the gate of her friend's house, lumped out, swept her escort a for mal courtesy, and disappeared leav ing him to pursue his ride alone. It may be imagined that the discomfit ed young man took good pains not to circulate this episode, but the sto ry has got out and the general ver dict is, "Served him right." How's This.
