With all wearying strife
Of homes bereft, or befriended;
Of one day less of life.
Of hopes some heart had cherished.

In cloudless, starless night.

As the hours their swift light took.

as hot as a Southern July day. the

The country was similar to
that crossed over in New Mexico,
the same arid desert with its hills
and rock holders lying out on
either side only it seemed even
more sterile and barren. Some of
works
chosen to addresses failed
to be present but some of its own
graduates were substituted and as
usual were not found wanting-
There were thirty sis young men
in the graduating class- This is
the largest number that ever grad-
there at one time- The
College is in a prosperous con-

of the Board of Trustees. It was

Harrison and Reid
were nominated last week by the
Republican Convention at Minne-
The fight between Blaine
and Harrison was very bitter but
Harrison had the office-holders to
back him and in consequence was
nominated. We are not very sorry
as we believe he will be easier
to best than Blaine would have
been. Blaine has been silent on
some things which will make
against Harrison in many
such as the force bill, free
coinage of silver. Arc.
If the nomination of Harrison
the most prominent exponent in
America at present of the force
bill, and of Reid a con-
South hater, and advocate
of supremacy in this section
don't keep the south solid then it
much more divided than we are
ready to now. It is said that
Harrison received the vote of the
South in the convention because
he favored the force bill. The
country has spoken on this once.
They will do it again next fall.
COL. L. L. POLK DEAD.
There are few men now before
the American public more
than Col. L L. Polk. Being
President of an order that has
within a few years sprung from an
in one to one
of National importance. He has
become known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and from the Gulf
to Canada Col- Polk was born in
North Carolina on a farm, his
being a farmer, and received
only a common school education-
Whatever position he may have
attained is the result of his own
indomitable energy
He served in the
of his native State twice, and
was a member of the constitution-
convention in 1865- He was in
the civil war and served in the lat-
part of it as a Lieutenant He
also filled the position of Com-
missioner of Agriculture- Was
twice elected President of the
Baptist State Convention. He
was on the staff of the Observer
and and for awhile-
He began the publication of the
Progressive Farmer in 1886 at Win-
After that it was removed
to Raleigh and at the time of his
death its subscription list had
reached at least twenty thousand.
He filled the position of Secretary
of the North Carolina Farmers Al-
i elected for
three successive terms as
dent of the order, and
was its at the time his

earth, that looks like a death trap,
and is not seen by the traveler
until he u right upon its verge-
A short distance further is another
canyon, though of much smaller
dimensions than the first
For some distance now there is
sameness about the country
but it is all interesting- At
brief intervals are seen large herds
of horses, donkeys, cattle and
sheep nibbling here and there at
every green sprig- How they could
exist here seemed almost
It was no uncommon
sight to see scores of carcasses of
dead animals lining either side of
the railroad, and gave still
stronger indication of the extreme
poverty of the country. In the
afternoon a more hilly region is
again reached followed by an in-
crease of vegetation. First the
change is to a scrubby cedar and
then to pine- Some of these
pines bear a close resemblance to
tho North Carolina growth in size
of body, but are not near so tall.
At occasional intervals there arc
bodies of timber sufficient to sap-
port small lumber mills- A rather
peculiar feature of trees is
that usually only tho first cut from
the butt is used for lumber, tho re-
of the tree being too
for good use.
As the range of mountains across
the western portion of Arizona
draw on there is a large increase
in both the quantity and quality of

not to awake the Sunday
morning brightness on tho desert
of California. Arising with a
spirit of thankfulness becoming
the holy day, after the usual morn-
toilet I sought tho conductor
of our train, who was an

miles east of the Colorado river

is all desert. The desert extends
from tho Gulf of Mexico to the
British possessions and varies in
width from to miles. All
this arid country, as it is,
would be very productive if
gated. It is predicted that in
years most of it will be in
The desert is also thought
to abound in rich mineral deposits.
The temperature of this region
varies according to the altitude.

There were many other things
in crossing this desert that deeply
impressed and interested me. At
times in Colorado, New Mexico,
Arizona and California, following
along the course of the railroad,
were pointed out of the old
wagon trails traversed by the early
pioneers to tho black
of Colorado and the gold fields of
California. I looked upon these
old trails wondered what tales
of hardship, suffering and death
they could unfold if to them were
accorded tho power of speech. No
doubt my eyes gazed upon some
spot where in years gone by, some
of the gold seekers had sank down
from exhaustion and starvation to
die upon the plain, or where some
horrible massacre of the pale face
by the rod man had occurred, their
bodies left a prey to tho wild beasts,
and their bones to bleach upon the
Bands like the carcasses of the
I saw in passing- What
awful days they were, and what
joy it should bring to all Americans
that the great railroads across the
continent, carrying civilization
in their wake, have
relegated all such dark and bloody
scenes to the past, and now
hoar of them only in tho folds of
yellow back novels-
On the hand there would
be occasional feelings of sadness
in looking out upon these plains
where tho red warrior in his
had chased tho wild buffalo
over hill and vale, to that
the buffalo has been exterminated,
and the red man driven before tho
bayonet and bullet into very limit
ed and restricted quarters. The
Indian has at times met with most
brutal treatment, and in my
ion he have been brought
into subjection by much easier and
more kindly means than were used
by our government.
Tho numerous colonies of prairie
dogs seen while crossing the plains
interested me much, and I spent
many hours watching the antics of
nimble creatures as tho cars
sped by. And the jack rabbits,
too, with immense ears stand-
aloft, added their share to the
of the trip. Seeing
hundreds of them galloping along
one morning -made mo think of
Bob Ben Smith and Jim
Cherry, and what a picnic they
could have among these jacks with
their guns and Harry.
The portion of the desert west of
the Needles, is known as the Mo-
desert
It is the most sterile region yet
crossed, nothing but sand, rocks
and lava beds. There are scarcely
any signs of habitation except the
railroad section houses every
miles. The inhabitants of these
have to depend upon the railroad
for provision and water
There is but one spring in miles
and from this quantities of water
are carried. The railroad has large
tank cars for transporting water
across the desert and one or more
is seen every station. fall
is very rare in this desert, slight
drizzles occurring only at times in

bursts sometime occur that sweep
everything before them and wash
gulches like river beds in the sand.

There was a road leading out of

that bis father was a and
that he himself must work while be

his family.
So, hearing of a young fellow In

Chris came to coach him to

were so many other things to do, and
the soot was so trying.
There could lie no place on the earth
grimier than Merton. We had the
chimneys swept as often as we could
afford it, but it seemed to me that
other people never swept theirs at
all, and as soon as the windows were
opened the soot came in, darkening

settling down over everything that
was just scrubbed clean till one felt
as if one could lie down and die. The
