OVER THE HILLS.
By Mrs. W. G. Williams.
Over the hills the daisies white
Where the birds sing low and sweet,
Where falls the shadows of the night
And blue skies with the waters
meet.
Over the hills the stars are shining.
To light the earth below
And far away in the distance
The fairy-winds blow.
Over the hills in dreamland roam
And all the world is mine,
Where in the silent gleaming
I worship at Nature's shrine.
North Carolina and the Railroads
The North Carolina business
men do not simply want to know
North Carolina is
against in freight rates,
but they want a stop put to it. It
is results and not talk they are
after. When goods are hauled
through the State to a point be-
for less than the rate would
have been to stop them in the
State, there is good ground for a
kick North Carolina wants her
rights. She needs every cent of
money, f r education, for
ion and for industrial advance-
and it is but right that our
people should seek to get justice
for the old North State in the
matter of freight rates.

Line just north of the
tobacco factory.
The fireman of the lumber
plant went to the boiler room to
replenish the fires In readiness for
the work of the day- He had
thrown one load of shavings into
the furnace, and while gone out
to get another load some of the
the burning shavings fell out and
set fire to things around the boil-
In a few moments the room
was enveloped in flames.
At such an hour the
town deep slumber, and
not people in other sec-
of the were awakened
when the factory whistle sound-
ed an alarm. In fact there is so
much blowing of whistles here
in the early morning hours that
people are less liable to observe
a whistle alarm at such an hour.
The fire alarm gone at the mar
house was also rung, but
even this did not awaken people
far from it Still fire-
men and citizens heard the
alarm to hurry to the scene and
do effective work. A line of
hose was quickly run from the
nearest and the fire
was confined to the boiler house.
The main body of the factory
caught fire several times but by
good worK was put out and the
valuable plant saved.
The damage to the boiler house
is estimated at about which

The effectiveness of

his success. It is to his credit
that he has accumulated some-
thing and he the most of
it. In fact it takes a very little
rise to set some men boasting and
the best of them will sometimes
magnify their difficulties and
their success. But did you ever
