Friday, October 13, 1905. President Roosevelt and wife with about 15 or 20 othei persons will visit North Carolina and several other Southern states next week. The President will deliver an address at Raleigh next Thursday and will.make brief stops at Durham and Greens boro and Charlotte. ;The people of the South will no doubt give the chief Executive that hearty reoep tion that due is to the man and his high station. A FULL YEAR. The country at large has unusual reasons for general thanksgiving this Autumn. Never in the world's history has a Nation enjoyed the prosperity that has blessed our country during the year just passing through its last quarter. All kinds of crops are rea sonably good and drouth and pesti lencebarring the yellow fever which is not particularly severe have not troubled us this year. Labor of all kinds is in demand at good wages and all the institutions of learning are prospering as never before. The manufacturing and commercial interests of the country are going for- word by leaps and bounds. If the speculative craze that is shown to prevail by the Insurance investigations can be curbed, there remains nothing to mar the gratitude of a peaceful and prosperous people. Will Par For HU Train. The Baltimore sun has the follow about the train that will bring the President to Raleigh; "Public in terest in the free use of the railroads ' by Presidnt Roosevelt at the same time that he is urging the enactment of more stringent laws for the regula tion of traffic has been intensified by the publication of an article in the Railroad Gazette, pointing out that railroads violated the Inter State Commerce law every time they car ried the President for nothing or for a 'nominal charge,. The coming tour of the President to the south, begin ning October 18, will cover about 2,000 miles. It will include Richmond, Va;aud Raleigh, N. C. and the homestead where his mother was born, at Roswel, Ga. Atlanta, Mem phis and other places on the route. The the trip will take about ten days. "The President probably will have on this tour a paivate car, a baggage car, two sleepers and a dining car. For such a service tha railroads or dinarily charge about 13.50 a mile, which would bring the ordinary charge for such a trip for transporta tion alone up to about $5,000. "If there are twenty persons In the par tyand usually there are quite that many on the President's train, the cost of meals will be about $60 a day, or ten days $600. Thus the ordinary expenses of the trip, if paid for at the 'open rate' that Is to say, the rate that under the Inter-State laws the railroads would turn over the car to. any civilian the cost would be. at the lowest figure, $5,000. "The Southern Railway will have charge of the President during bis October trip. It is preparing to give the finest possible service, and tbe train probably will be a superb af fair. If this railroad made the .nomi nal charge1 of $50 a day, which the Railroad Gazette Intimates was the offer of the railroad that managed the President's trip to Texas and Col orado and which was rejected, then the President's bill for the journey would be only $500, instead of $5,600. "Inquiries were made today of offi eers of the Southern Railway as to what the arrangement was that would govern the payment on his Southern trip. It was said that the arrangements had been made by the executive officers, who were ont of the city, and the added statement was made that the Southern Railway was very glad to carry the President at the figure that had been agreed on, because it would result in a lar ger passenger traffic to tbe Southern cities than had ever been known be fore. The statement was made how ever, that the President was paying for tbe train. "During this tour of tbe South the President's special will go over the tracks of the Southern, the Lou isville and Nashville and the Iron Mountain railroads. "Since he has been in tbe White House Mr. Roosevelt has taken al most as many trips as all the other President's combined. He always travels In a private ear." The diamond fs the hardest known f ubstaooe to get! - To Propsr Pisa ef Lift lassrsact Coaducl. The point to which the conduct of life Insurance companies must come is plalney this that they must be so conducted as to forbid their officers or directors from making profit or income In any form their rela tlon to the company except the reas onable (and not excessive) salaries that they receive. They must be for bidden to use the companies' money (whloh is the policyholders') in any way that will directly or indirectly bring a penny of income , to them selves. This Is the plane of safety and of right, high conduct (and It is the on ly plane of safety and high conduct) to which the aroused moral sense of the community demands that the business shall be elevated. The shar ing by directors in syndicate profits, their oonduct (with their companies' money) of subsidiary or friendly trust companies the era of these methods must now quickly pass Directors of life insurance companies must be chosen from among a differ ent class of men than brokers and bankers and speculators. This is the plain lesson that all these uuhappy insurance events and revelations are teaching, and the plain duty to which they point. The complete confidence of the whole public in the large insurance com panies will not be restored till this change is made. Worlds Works.

When you have them enrolled in some good school see to it that they study Don't trust to their teachers to see that they learn their lessons. Lessons must be learned out of school hours. A teacher has no control over the pu pil ouj of school. See that your chit pren prepare their lessons at night. Help them, take an interest in them, and try each night to impress upon them how much tbe little .things they learn eachday will count in af ter years when they must go out from under the parental roof and work for thjir own bread each day. Send your children to school, By all means send your children to some good school. Don't count the cost.

It is not a surprising peioe of news that the daily papers publish about Wadesboro, that several young men were staggering drunk on the streets of that town as the first day's result of granting license to seven persons to retail liquor there. That they were sons of men who voted for bar-rooms gives no comfort to any good man. The awful thing about It Is, that somebody has made It easier instead of harder for these young men to set their feet upon their mother's hearts and lay fast bold upon the ways of ruin.

Intertills! Letter The following Interesting commu nication was given us by Maj. Har per who had wrltton to Mr. McDowell In regard to a road up the Llnvllle Valley. Mr. McDowell was one of the Interesting writers of this com munity In his day. The Mr. Lyoa he speaks of taught school at Mor ganton and was an instructor of Mr. McDowell: ' Cullasaga, N. C, Nov. 25, 1878. Mr. G. W. F. Harper, Lenoir, N. 0. Dear Sir: Your lines of the 18th Inst, are before . me, and having nought else to to I will reply prompt ly. You asked if "a public road was running up Linville Cove in 1814?" My answer is, No sir nothing but a cattle track leading from Morganton to the Cove above the Linville Falls to Major James Er win's cattle farm, and the way led up the valley of Up per creek and then out at its head through Nat's old field, north of Table Rock. From this point, the Rock had the shape of a fodders tack. Now, you began to find a few Cran berries, and passing on and up yon come to the head Spring of the creek in Jonas' ridge and passing over it you were in Linville Cove. Lyon and I did not phss this way but went directly down the River by way of the Falls and Canon, as our business was to study the Geology and Flora of the Carolina Mountains. All these scenes I revisited In after years during a ten years so j urn at Morganton; as well the north cove and South Tow River and Black Mountain. The Cave near the head of the val ley of North Fork, I was the first man who explored and reported it's interior. The thing happened in this way, to-wit. Boys and dogs chased a fox that ran in a square opening at the base of Buck Moun tain the entrance not being more than four feet from a Limestone Branch. Into this opening, leading into the bowels of tbe Mountain, the fox en tered; so did the dogs and the boys followed after, but not far, as the way soon grew dark. This was in the Summer of 1823. I was in the Cove at that time suffering from an attact of "Brown fever" desperately in love with a pretty girl named Mai til da Brown. I heard of the entrance into Buck mountain and concluded it would be a good place to reduce my fever. I went, I saw, and entered but not without light. A noble young man named Will English, procured torch pine that filled a large basket, and with a blazing light stooped and en tered. I did the same thin?. Our way was up a brook that had per pendicular banks on each hand, floored above with rock, We of course had to wade the brook, save where the larger apartments expand ed into open halls, and here we could mount upon the dry floors and ex claim, "Who cares for cold water in Dog Days?" Some of the draper ies of the Cave to me, were interest ing and beautiful as if their rock walls were incrustd with ice while the vault aliove seemed drajed and curtained witmn a scene above which was suspended, thousands of pointed icicles all glittering in the torch light like myriads of brilliant gems. Some of these had assumed gigan tic proportion reaching nearly half way down to the floor, while oppo site to it's point rises from the floor a stalagmite to meet it on the way and then be united in a graceful col umn. English awaked me from this dream of rapture by the command, "Move on". When we quit the love ly scene and again plunged into the cold brook, wlgdlng our way along narrow galleries where the roof was so very low that at times we had to creep. At length we reached a point where the brook forked and another cae opened its way into the rocks to our left hand, and at right angle. From it's interior chambers we heard the lively chirping of what seem to be ten thousand birds, and I sked Eng lish what it was? He replied, It is the dropping of water from the points of icicles from the top of somo high vaulted roof down on the surface of some interior sheet of water, and it Is the echoes of the cave that multi plies and strengthens the sound. "How do you know thatf" I querid. "I guessed so," was his curt reply. "1 will see and know" I exclaimed, and then led the way to the left. We had not proceeded ten paces before I was up to my arms In water, and thinking the next step might be over our head I Inelorionsly retreated. eaving the sprightly songs of the birds to the echoes of Buck Moun tain Cave. We pursued our former direction and after many Ins and outs, at length reached a spacious and lofty Hall, whose upper flooring had given away and in huge bould ers lay on the lower floor. 'Bill English, I exclaimed, what does this ineAnT" "A deadfall," he replied, "If we had been here when these rocks fell." ''Bill, I queried, how far have we progressed into the bowels of this mountains He guessed, three-fourth of a mile. "How far to the Cave's endf I inquired. It has been explored no farther," he replied. By now, Bill English and myself were tired and hungry, and as he had something else than pine In bis basket in tbe form of a pone of corn- bread, a hog's ham and, a flask of rum, be spread out his store upon one of the fallen boulders, and now, memory can call np no single dinner enjoyed with such keen relish as that In the Buck Mountain Cave with Bill English.
