' Western Letter, .According to. my promise I will write a few lines for the JSTKW which I' get every Tuesday; glad to get it too , It was the lest last w eek it has ever leen.- Wen, pi-ai.se the Lord w landed herettafely on April. 13 after being out four days. We left Hickory, N.,0., on No U w hich was four hours late, and preached Chattanooga at;, three the next morning, went to a hotel and got beds which we occupied till seven; then up and out and ready for the train for Memphis at 9:30, which is No. 36 that passes Hick ory at 11 o'clock at night and is a limited train in N. "., but when it reaches Ala. and Miss, it In comes a local, stopping at all sta tions. , The run to Memphis from Chattanooga is over three hundred miles through Ala', and a part of Miss, and it takes all day to make it. We reached Memphis at eight o'clock. The bay was beautiful and the trip was Hue. The leaves were just about grown in Ala. They were planting corn ami cotton, but cutting cedar poles seemed to le a leading occupation, tor we saw thousands of them on the way. They cut them for fence posts and telegraph poles. We were shown the home in Stevenson, Ala., of Kid. John A. Cargile. who is quite well known in North Carolina. We didn't have long to wait Mem phis till we 1 warded the Frisco for Kansas City, a distance of five hundred miles. All the cars on this road are first .class with reclin ing chairs. We passed through Ark. in the night and when day dawned we were looking out on the broad fields of Kansas with not a mountain in sight, nothing but pastures and corn and wheat fields. Next we came to Missouri and were attracted by hundreds of acres in orchards. We reached Kansas City alout ten o'clock Wednesday and were surprised to find it was not lteautiful for situ ation. At 11.35 we started over the Burlington up the Missouri Hiver for Omaha, a distance of more than two hundred miles which we reached atsnit i o'clock, having passed the pretty cities of St. .Joseph on the Missouri and Council Bluffs, Iowa and quite a number of other places of interest. The Corn Cribs in Iowa especially attracted my attention. At the Burlington depot ui Omaha we were transfered to'ihV Union Pa cific depot, which is a Iwautiful building indeed, when it was as certained we w ere going out on a branch line of the M. and P. we were transfered to the Welister St. depot, then we were just twenty three miles from our destination, but no train out that way till four o'clock the next day, so we went a block to the Prexell hotel and put up and the next dav we took in some of the city, or rather it took us in. It is beautifully situated and claims altout two hundred thousand of a mixed population of Europeans, Asiatics and Aineii cans, We made some purchases at the store of Haydcn Bros., who employ six hundred clerks. Here we were enabled to see the 'differ ence between U'f Japanese and Chinese, although of the same race there is a marked idiffcrencc ' I ween them, the Chinese bring with them their old manners and customs while the Japs meet the Yankee right on his own ground and do business right along by his side adopting his manners, dress, etc. Alter spending the day pleasantly in Omaha we started at four o'clock for Springfield,. which we reached at five and found out people looking for us, and tbok us right to their homes for a day or two, when we moved into our par sonage which we now occupy, right by the side of our church which is situated on Main street. We are comfortably audi pleasant ly situated in a nice little new town of about six hundred but it has made considerable progress, if it is small. v . f We havo two good banks, opera house, four chnrches,tvater-works, graded school that furnishes all ' the books, tablets and pencils Che children use, 1 with it Wive grades that prepare the children for the State Normal and to teach any where in the state, or out in the public schools, also the main streets' are paved the others' , planked. There is a nice hospital here where people come for treatment. Two large elevlora handle the corn. The Masoosl and K. of P. have halls. There, is also a creamery. in the town and au up to date lumber yard whre you can buy . anything in the way of building material from sand on up. .And' while there is a couple of saloons here I am glad, to say the sentiment is getting strong rgainst it, the last election was a tie, had I been here ninety days earlier my vote would have changed it. N . This is a cheap place to live, corn is only 35 cents per bushel and the best flour only five dollars per bbl. and irish potatoes of the very finest just any way from a gift up to 30 cents per bushel and you an just get anything you want to eat hpre. The people dress plainly here. The ladies go shop ping with lionnets on made of chain bray and calico and do their own work .such as scrubbing and cooking, washing and ironing al though they may 1 worth fifty to seventy five thousand dollars, they have no servants, but harness their horse and drive him themselves and don't hunt for a side-saddle if they want to ride horse laek. The president of the Sarpy Co. Bank here appeals quiU often on the streets in blue overalls, he has his hand on altout one hundred and fifty thousand and I am just as well respected here as he is so long as 1 lehave myself. This is the rule here a lalsxinp man is just as well respected by all classes as anyone if he Indiave himself. Well 1 must close my letter as perhaps it may le too leugthly al ready. In conclusion I will say that while I am very nicely situa te! with a clean and pure people, who take pains to make us com fortable and have never had any cause whatever to regret the change have not suffered a moment w ith home sickness, 4yet I am a native ltorn "Tar Heel" and ex pect some time for the way to open to me back there iijtue home land where I can lay. me down and sleep with my fathers if I must yield to death Ibefore my Lord shall come iu peraon togrant me a re pi h e and give me eternal life. Tell Mr. H. T. Newland not to get alarmed this is not a request for that money he w as to send me to come back on . My regards to all, J. A. Downs. Springfield, Neb., April 27. P. 8. The policeman here is from Alexander County. N. C. We have lwome friends at once, he gives me the&tatesville Landmark, I have plenty of news from home. D. Scdli's Representation. Independent V. in Industrial News. There has lteen much disscus'sion byvthe Democratio press of late as to the advisability of nominating a southern man fqr president.. I, Judging from the experience of the past forty yeas it would seem to 1h a matter of "but little impor tance where the Democratic candi date coines from or who he may be, as there will ; doubtless be little chance of electing him IJaturally it would be . a course . of ' gratifica tion to the south to haw a south crn man in tlw presidency no mat ter what his politics might be aud it is a consummation mostdevoute ly ' to be wished, but the times are not yet a ripe for the accomplish: ment of such a purpose. The south will have to abandon a lot of decayed issues and cease following incompetent political leaders be fore it can take its proper place in the political questions every day, cease swallowing every nostrum that is lalelled Democratic and advancement of the interests of the nation, they will see their states men again in the front ranks as in the days of ('lay, of Calhoun, of (iraham, and other sons of the past. What is needed inthesouth today and indeed in other parts of the union is a large independent vote, acknowledging allegiance to no political bossesj holding the Iialance of power letireen the two great parties and advocating meas ures that are just and good and voting for men who have the abil ity and the courage to stand for such ideas, let their politics U whattheyjnay. , The independent vote can save the. south and the nation from hunilKiggery, deniagogury, dis honesty and folly and it is to le hoped that his trile will increase and l in evidence in tfo coming elections and from thereon forever more.
