Prosperous and Progressive North
Carolina,
Never before in North Caroli-"
naTs history have so many indus-
tries and manufactories been es"
tablished or started as during tnis
year. This is especially true in
regard to cotton factories. All
over the State old cotton mills are
being enlarged and new ones
constructed. Hundreds of thous-
ands ot dollirs are being invested
in these factories, and conse-
quently paid out to laborers and
wage earners and _ circulated
umong a class of people who need
all they can get. And, of course,
these factories are not only of
great benefit to those directiy
ew ployed in tiaeir construction or
operation, but also to the entire
commubpity in which any one of
them is situated. The farmers in
the surrounding countryT are
greatly benefitted by a factory
near them, because it affords them
a home market for the products
of their farme.
And while gratified at theee
practical proofs and substantial
signs of reviving business and
returning prosperity, let us not
forget that all this is occurring
withio less than a year after the
passage ofthe Democratic tariff
l.w, which its enemies predicted
would ruin the country and de-
stroy all industries !" Pittsboro
Record.
We see it stated that over one
hundred canning factories have
recently been established in this
State. Greenville did not get one

Queer Epitaphs.
A Williamsport (Mass.) corres-
pondent writes: In the village
of Pownal, adjoining this town, is
an old cemetery, one of theoldest
inthe State of Vermont. Many
of the stones have long since top-
pled over and are almost concea!-
ed by moss and overgrown grass.
On many are quaint old inscrip-
tions. At the head of one grave
is seen :
~~Here lies in silent clay,
Miss Arabella Yonng,
Who, on the 21st of May,
Began to hold her tongue. TT
Many are of a humorous nature
as is shown by the following:
~*Here lies the wife of Simon Stokes
Who lived and died like other folks,
Here I lie, and no wonder ITm dead,
For a wagon wheel passee over my
head.�T
John Hlil is referred to as fol-
lows :
oHere lies John Hill, a man of skill,
His age was five times ten,
of the finest soup you ever e'Tt.
He never did good, nor never woul

HE LOST HIS SAND
The Man Who Would Ride on a
Snow Plow.
He Came Out of His Experience a Wreck
~-His Nerve Gave Out and He Suf-
fered a Collapse"A Story
with a Moral.
Ata Detroit hotel the other day
was a guest whose countenance wore
such a frightened expression that he
was an object of attention and re-
mark from all others. Some said
he must have been thrown sky-high
by a Texas steer within the last day
or two; others that he had been rur
across a trestle-work by a passen-
ger train; others still that his wife
had suddenly pulled a gun on him
and taken the reins of government
in her hands. It is easy to find out
all about people if you have a knack
for it.
~ooWhy do I carry such a wild,
svared look?� queried the man in
reply, as he made himself comforta-
ble in a big arm-chair. ~~I flattered
myself that the expression had about
worn off, bat I begin to doubt if it
will ever pass away entirely. ITve
been trying hard to look placid and
contented for the last hour, but it
seems to have been a failure.�
~~Did a bear, panther, alligator,
Indian warrior or a ghost have any-
thing to do with it?� asked the in-
terviewer.
o~No"nothing of the sort. Young
man, did you ever ride on a locomo-
tive?�
~oVes.TT
*~On a railroad snowplow?�
~*No. �
~~Well, perhaps you know that a
railroad snowplow is about the big-
gest, strongest and ugliest looking
thing on wheels. Put two of Tem
together and youTve got a battering
ram, which would go through a
brick house like a streak of hot lard |
running down hill. Ridingon a loco-
n-=tive is a cradle compared to rid-
ing on a snowplow when out for
yusiness.�T
~*But it shouldnTt scare a man out
of his boots.�
~Well, it did me, and thatTs why I
carry thecountenanceI do. It was
+he 15th of last January that I took
t little trip over a few miles of
jorthern Minnesota railroad, but I
hav-nTt got through shivering and
shaking and palpitating yet. I was
at atown called Anthon during a
three daysT snowstorm, and when I
wanted to start for Morehead the
iine was blocked and all trains can-
celled. There was no reason why I
should hurry away, but as soon as I
~ound I couldnTt go I wanted to be
ff. ThatTs human nature,
know. When told that a couple of
big snowplows were at the depot
preparing to open the line to the
westward, I went down and did
what I thought was an awfully cute
bat nde Pt
you.
oBribed one or tne engineers ot
take you on, eh?�
oJust so, my friend. Yes, sir, I
| worked my little game through the
depot master and. the engineer of
the head snowplow. Sorie of the
long green stuff changed hands.
perhaps, but thatTs neitber here nor
there. Jt was supposed that 1 had
a dying wife at Morehead, and was
almost crazy to reach her before the
grim Monster bore her bence. When
the big plows started out I was snug-
ly ensconced on the firemanTs seat.
I had never seen a railroad snow-
plow before, and had no idea of what
was to happen. The snow was about
three feet deep on the level and
packed hard, and I anticipated some-
thing new and novel in that ride.�
~~And vou were not disappointed?�
queried the interviewer.
~~Alas! no! I enjoyed the thing
for the first mile or so, and then we
struck a drift six feet deep by two
hundred feet long. Such a drift
couldnTt stop the plows, but you
ought to have seen what happened
when they drove into it! It was as
if a cyclone blowing at the rate of q
thousand miles an hour, and armed
with teeth and claws, had swooped
down into the cut. The whirl of
snow shut out daylight in an in-
stant. It flew fifty feet high, and it
whirled back over the cab in a great
wave. I was buried out of sight and
almost smothered in the first dash,
and before we got through that
drift ITd have given fifty dollars to
be.back at Anthon. The grinding,
puffing, wheezing and groaning of
the plows was of itself enough: to
scare a man unaccustomed to it out
of a yearTs growth. When we ran
out of that drift I had snow ir my
ears, my hair, my pockets, my
shoes"down my back and up my
trousers-legs, and my flesh seemed
to be burning.�
~~But the snowplows went on?�
~~ITm sure they did. ITd have been
willing to drop off and foot it back
to town, but having agreed to get
me to Morehead to close the eyes of
my dying wife, the engineer smile¢
at me in an encouraging way and
added that the drift was only a lit-
tle one for acent, If we didnTt run
off the track or blow up weTd be sure
to encounter something worth pitch-
ing into. The fences were of boards,
ond for ten miles after leaving that
first cut the snow was rolled off on
each side of the track in such a way
as to break them flat down, posts
and all. It was likea great steamer
plowing through the water, but the
snow had weight to it as it went
rushing against the fences. You
heard the cedar posts go pop! pop!
pop! like so many musket shots, and
many of the boards were reduced}
to splinters and the splinters sent
flying in the air behind us. By and
by we struck a second drift.�
**Yes, you struck a second drift,�
repeated the interviewer, as the
man shook and shivered and made a
oTe was a 5 drift to hectic ins
finally said. It was a cut with bank:
twenty feet high"and three hundre
feet long, and the snow had blow:
in till the cut seemed even full. The
engineer expected to find sucha con
dition of uffairs, and had increase
steam pressure and eave ~He went
for that drift like a cage
rushing across a field to Pp
tramp. Iwas hanging on for io
life and had my eyes shut when we
struck. We ran Into the drift sg
distance of fifty feet and then i
stopped. When we came toa stand-
still I was back on the tender buried
under two feet of snow, and when
the engineer and fireman dug me
out ITd have sold myself for a brass
cent. A more forlorn, dildpidated
and disgusted husband of a dying
wife will never be seen on the face of!
this earth. I offered the boys, as
near as I can remember, three mil-
lion dollars to run back to Anthon,
but they only laughed at me. They
were out to open the tracks, and as
I had come along I must stick. wee
~o~And so they bucked the drift
again ?�
~Heaven forgive 'em, but they
did! They backed out, got up more
steam and into the cut we dashed
aud gained another twenty feet. I
donTt think I fainted away, but
somehow I lost all interest in the
proceedings after that. All I can
remember was of being bounced
about"bruised, cut and burned"of
seeing more snow above and around
me than 1 ever supposed fell upon
the whole American continent at
one time before. We were an hour
getting through that drift, and
another in reaching a town called
Detroit City. There I was tenderly
removed from the snowplow and
taken to a hotel and a doctor sum-
moned. and my dying wife was left
to die or to get well.�
oAny bones broken or cylinder.
heads blown out?�
~~No. The doctor found cuts and
burns and bruises from head to heel,
but he said they didnTt amount to
much. It was the shock to my
nervous system that troubled him
and for two weeks he could not be
sure whether I would remain a fool
to the end of my days or eventually
gain enough horse sense to enable.
me to get out of the country. Things
finally turned my way, butIam a
