THE SEABUARD AIR LINE AND
ITS INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
3 SCHOOL,
The Seaboard Air Line travers-
ing the States of Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia, is without question,
under the most progressive } rac-
tical and liberal managemeaut of
and Railway five in the ~nited
States if uot in *he world. It gets
close to the people, it knows its
patrons, it works for their inter-
est,and in turn they appreciate
whatTis done for them, and the
truth of this is shown in .the fact
that when the great combination
of roads have tried to aown the
Seaboard, the people have gone
to its rescue, aud give it an in
crease of business, more than
enough to overbalauce all the
combination could take from it ;
and the people continue to pat-
rovize the road. Tue
Air Line refuses to enter combi-
pations for holding up freight
and passenger rates. It believes
in making its rates directly with
the poopie giving them all the ad-
yautagesitcan. The roads that
: go inte: combinations must pay
high selaries for com binatiouw
officials, these salaries must be
~paid bv charging higher rates of
~ freight, and thereby the people
have to pay it. The latest move.
oaf the Seaboard Air Line, to as-|
ag ist those located along its line 18 |
oto indugtrate a Traveling Tudus-
trial School. The object of the
school 19 to teach the people how
to ean, preserve and pickle, how
~to make fruit, batter, jeilies, Jame,
mamalode, cheese, &e., and to In-
struct au widnafaciuring of such
things as can be made on the
farm without a great dgal of ex-
, pense. A large number of the
latast labgr saving farm imple-
ments will be shown. Especially,
will be shown such householu
conveniences as tends to improve
the conaitions of the home, and
make its surroundings more
pleasaut, tind lessen the work cf
the house wife. Experienced,
4. . *~practical and skilied persons will
=; beemployed by the Seaboard Air
: Line to give object lessons; en-
abling ali those who attend to see:
as well as to be told how to do a
thing. This is a new enterprise
and is certainly getting down to
~ something thatis practical; it is
_. carrying the Industrial School to
-«* the-homes of thousands of people.
The School will be fitted up in
a train of cars specially prepared
. for it, and it will stop at different
points along the one thousand
_ miles of the Seaboard Air, Line
Railroad, in the States of Vir-
oginia, North Carolina, South
~~ Garolina and Georgia; and the
good this work will accomplish
- gannot be reckoned ip dollars and
cents. This movement will not
ostop at the Seaboard Air Line's)
indary, for other roads will ~be
eompelled to follow the example
" - progressive Seaboard
or they will loose many
- patrons for the people
. flock to the
Seaboard
Territory ; in fact we
informed tkrougT
papers published on
board Air Line, that many busi-
ness men as well os farmers are
alreaay leaving other sections of
the South, and going tothe Sea-
board Air Line; being attracted
bv the enterprise displayed by
this road, these are moving to the
Seaboard Ai: Line territory, so as
to share in the advantages this
line is giving to the people along
its system."Our Sunny Howe.
_ TOURGEE.
The announcement that the
President has nominated Judge
Albion W. Tourgee to be consul
at Bordeaux, France, suggests &
lot of history. Tourges was one
of the carpet-baggers who swoop-
ed down upon North Carolina just
after the war. He became a
judge ct the Superior Court and
made a good one. After the
expiration of his term he settled
in Raleigh to practice law, but did
not do much good at it, and
nearly twenty years ago returned
to the North and wrote oA Fool's
Errand,� which brought him fame|
aid fortune. This book Cealt
with the reconstruction periodT of
Nerth Carolina, with the Ku
Klux, etc., and contained enough
falsehood to put the State in a
thoroughly bad tight before
strangers and yet enough truth to
forbid that North Carolinians
should enter a blanket denial.
The work was skillfully done, the
narrative an absorbingly interest-
ing one, and the wLole marked
by literary finish, The money
which Tourgee made on this
book he sunk in a literary paper
which he established with it bat,
as author and lecturer, he is said
to have since retrieved his for-
tunes. He is indeed a very
smart fellow, and certain news~
paper articles of 8 political
character which he wrote white
he lived in this State were re-
niarkable for their britliancy and
the biting quality of their sar
casrh. He was cordially hated
by the Democrats during his
residence here, especially duringT
recoustruction, when he was
conspicuous as a Repablican
politician. One of the most
frequently teiterated charges
agaiust him was tkat he was 4
perdoned criminal from the Obio
penitentiary, and it is never te be
forgotten how Gen. D. H. Hill,
with that weck gravity which so
distinguished him, said in the
Southern Home, with a fine show
of indignation, that he had no
boubt that this story was a libel,
but that Tourgee, instead of
being » pardoned criminal, had
served out his term fully and
honestly."Charlotte Observer.

Too many people pay more
attention to the affairs of others
than to their own. ManTs head is
not double-birreled like a shot
gun. God gave to every man a
head of his own, and he who
attends to his own business has
enough to keep him reasonably
busy forever. People are lik®
wasps. Society is a sugar barrel
with the sweetness taken out.
Meddlers go buzzing and bump-
ing against the soured sides:
There are thousands who know
nothing of their own business:
but know all about the concerns
of their neighbors. ~Tearing
another's character to pieces will
not help ours, no matter how
dirty the other man may be.
Pointing out the weeds in your
yard will not make the weeds in
our yard more beautifa!. The
white cottage and the brown
mansion hidé trouble from the
world. People talk and know
other lines of road and

~Let us walk straigut along: Let
us éach mind our own basiness,
and each will never be out of

He Lives to Hear It.
About eight or nine years ago
anegro named Yorke Phifer be-
came involyed in some serious
trouble at or near Durham, for
which be was sent to the peni-
tentiary to serye a term of ten
years. Phifer served and was
faithful for about eight years aud
was last week released from cus-
tody. He returned to this county,
where he had left his wife Martha,
and discovered to hie dismay and
sorrow that she has again married,
this time to one Ed Patterson.
Phifer at once proceeded to take
out paper for the recovery of his
wife andon Sunday morning she
was arrested and brought to jail,
Patterson, or husband No. 2, bad
fled. On Wednesday Phifer had
his wife tried before Esquire
Pitts, charged with bigamy, and
after much questioning, she made
a very strong argament that
Yorke PlLifer, her first hasband,
was dead. She said oI gota letter
from him in a black bordered en-
velop. He wrote to me thas he
was dead. I boughta black dress
and wore it thinkibg all the time
that he was telling me the truth.�
