~There are four given ponts to be con"

objective point. The charter granted
bv the recent Legislature makes Snow
Hill the beginning point with the priv"
ilege of connecting with any point on
the two roads ~above named.
Already Goldsboro and Wilson are
making preparations for bidding t» Lave
the rcad to those towns. Green ville
is afar more preferable point of con-
nection than either of the other towns.
Logically and from every business view
Greenville should secure this road to
come here. \
Yo run this rcad from Snow Hill via
Farmville to Farmviile would add much
io the building -up of Greenville and
much more to the progress of Green-

benefit of water competition could be

Glowing accounts reach us of the
push aud nerve of North Carolina re-
publicars now in Washingt »n on a visit
to the Great Father. They are said to
be three deep in the cheap boarding
houses, while hundreds of them call at
the offices of the principal hotels for
their mail. They line Pennsylvania
avenue, holding in their pleading hands
testimonials they wish signed by every
statesman from Maine to Califurnia.
They are first in the White House
before it is swept in the morning, and
they are on hand to put the president
to bed at night. Four of them sit up
with McKinleyTs private secretary to
o. k. any appointments that may appear
ot North Carolina men. Every avenue
of approach to an official that can
name aman to office is guarded Ly at
least six North Carclina republican
office seekers, and more are leaving
for the seat of war on eyery train. In
the offices of the two senators from
this state the candidates are packed
away in layers like herring, no salt
being necessary, however, to keep them
fully as fresh es when they lett home.
North Carolina republicans who never
earned $1,000 in a vear by real indus-
try, are asking for $5,000 to $10,000
positions, ard some of them have no
voted for more than one republican
president, and may never vote for
another. "Askeville Citizen.

Uncanny Grave Yard Stories"Mul-

: of a Bull Fight.
Monday morning we were up
-earlyto put ina fullday at further
sightseeing in Monterey. The
first trip was out to the Bishop's
Palace, on the suburbs of the
city, where are the ruins of what
was once 4 magnificent structure.
To reach this was necessary to
climb a hill seyeral hundred feet
high, but the view obtained from
the summit repaid the fatigue
_-many times over. On one side
nestled the city almost surrounded
by hills and mountains; and on
the other formiles away stretched |
tigal fertile valley. Back
olace the hills rise higher
and bigber uutil they reach the
range of mountains beyond.
_ [a the war of 1847 this palace, a
massive stone structure, becsuse
of its commanding prominence
overlooking both the city and
yaliey, way used asa fort by tne
Mexicans to protect Monterey
against an attack from the Ameri.
caus. - But it was here that Gon.
Zachary Taylor, in command of a
regiment of United States troops,
showed that oUncle SamTs� army
was better skilled in military
exploit than those of Mexico.
» Gen. Taylor was seen marching
~his regiment up the valley towards
Monterey, but was careful not to
briug them within range of the
-guus in the fort. Suddenly the
regiment turned to the right and
disappeared among the hills, the
Mexicans thinking this meant
they would retire tothe mountains
and muke no attack. Findirg
their way amoog the hills the
American soldiers bravely march-
ed and tugged their euns to the
top of a bill overlooking the
palace and planted their artillery
onthe sammit. Their before the
Moxicans wero aware of it death
dealing wmiseiles wero being
hurled into their midst. Gen.
TaylorTs men literally stormed and
captured the palace and from
tis vantare grouod captured
Monterey..
Oar guide on this trip to the
BishopTs Palace, a very intelligent
young Mexican, Armaudo Yerena
bz name, had this chapter of war
history at his tongueTs end and

class burials~ often take pla
without a coffin, a shallow trench
being cut in the hard earth, the
body placed therein and a few
shoyels full of dirt thrown over it. |
When coffins are used it is no
uncommon thing for robbers to
visit the cemetery th2. night
following the burial, remove the
remains from the coffin and put
them back in the excavation, and
take the coffin to the city to selt
again. There is so much alkali
inthe soil .bat a body once ex-
posed to it is quickly eaten away
or the flesh burned off leaving
nothing but the bones. To save
the trouble of digging new graves
in the hard soil it frequently
occurs that the undertaker scrapes
inte an old grave and if the bcdy
has all decayed the bones are
thrown in some out of the way
corner and another body placed
there. Deliver us from ever
having to be buried in Mexico!
During the day we visited
many other places of interest"

ing educational institution ofjthe
city, and soon. At each of these
our party met with every courtesy

over on the other side of the
border. A few examples may
jliustrate this: In the United
States cigarettes sell for 5 cents a
pack. The very same cigarette
sent from this country and sold
in Mexisc bring 10 cents (5 cents
in our money) making the price
on both sides the line the same.
But cigarettes of Mexican manu-
facture, made just as well and of
purer tobacco, can be bought for
6 cents (3 cents our money.)
Again, over there Mexican made
cigars cay be bought at 6 for 25
cents that are as good as can be
found anywhere in the United
States at 3 for 25 cents. In this
case the odds are largely in favor
of Mexico. Once more; our

They seemed anxious to point
out or tell us anything desired,
would offer us their seats on the
street cars if they happened to be
crowded, and would invariably
step down and give us the right
of way on the narrow sidewalks.
Another very noticeable thing
was the large number of soldiers
to be seen. Several garrisons are
in the city and the uniformed
geptry were visible everywhere.
These were of two classes with a
marked distinction between them
"the standing army regularly
paid by the government ard the
criminal soldiery. They have 4
custom in the republic of sen-
tencing a criminal to so many
years service in the army ac-
cording to the tenor of his offense,
in case he is not needed about
any of the trade depaatmoents
connected with the penal institu-
tution. In extreme cases the
offender is given his.choice of
serving in the army for life or
going to the salt mines for 5
years. Ifthe criminal places any
value on his life with such a
choice before him, he goes to the
army, for no man has ever been
in the salt mines. Because of
this custom of sentencing crimi-
nals to the army, only about 300
ure confined in the State prison

Other comparisons were made but
these are enough to mention.
And now We will tell about the
bull fight. ~The Spanish love for
blood and bratality that has
always been @ characteristic of
those people has been hereditary
through fheir generations and
still exists among the people of
Mexico. ' Certainly almost every
American has heard or reed
something about a bull fight, yet
few haye a conception of what it
really is. A more horribly " rutal,
cruel, inbuman spectacle cannot
be imagined. It is sickening to
witness aud even revolting to
write about. Still the Mexican
has great relish for such sport
and would spend his last dollar to
see a fight.
These fights take place in an
immense amphitheatre surround
ing a large arena and are gov-
erned by a code of rules. There
are points in favor of the bull
which are guarded by the judges:
The judges consist of the Gover-
nor of the State, Mavor of the
city and-two or three other high
officials, show.ng that even the
high officials sanction such bru-
tality. These are attended by a
bugler through whom aill the
signals are given. At the first
sound of the bugle a gate swings
open and the company of fighters,
vonsisting of six metadors and
two horsemen and. attendants:
enter. They parade the arena
with great pomp, salute the judges
and receive rounds of applause
from the wild, boisterous mob of
spectators.
n, the fighters take positions
about the arena, the attendants
retreat to places of safety, another
gate swings open and in rashes a

in confinement several days pre-
