But the success of agriculture depends on the growth of railroads?the modern beasts of burden that haul the crops to the world's markets. ,<8% The railroads?like the farms?increase * their output and cut down unit costs by ^ the constant investment of new capital. ^ With fair prices for the work they do, the railroads are able to attract new capital for expanding their facilities. Kates high enough to yield a fair return will insure railroad growth, and prevent costly traffic congestion, which invariably results in poorer service at higher cost* National wealth can increase only as our railroads grow. Poor railroad service Is dear at any price. No growing country can long pay the price of inadequate transportation facilities.

SOUTH CAROLINA^ 1 U*r*> Looking Toward Coppal Lake. ONK would not, of course, de scribe the Kerry roads as "good." There still exist mo torists who visit a district not for the sake of rushing through it as fast as posslble-T-they do not welcome postlvely bad roads, but, given roads which can be driven over, they are less keen on the goodness of the roads than the goodness of the views seen there from. Such, at all events, was the temperament of our party, says a writer In Country Llf& Some one had said: "If you don't 'do* the coast route from KUIorglln through Cahlrci veen and Watervllle to Pgrknasllla you will miss the finest thing In Ire land?perhaps In the British Islesso we turned aside at^ls tempting pros ptfSfT And we did not regret our de tour. Soon after leaving KUIorglln, where the Caragh lake lies, still and black In Its opening In the hills, we began to Jhave some foretaste of the glories be fore us. The rond*moUtoted into barren wildernesses, and on our right sud denly the vast blue expanse of Dingle bay was outspread, a dream In the sun shine. Grander and grander grew, the vistas across that splendid Inlet of the Atlantic, wilder and wilder the ranges on our left. At Mountain Stage, where there Is a little railway station (though heaven alone knows what the traffic can be), the scenery was as noble as anything 2 have witnessed in Great Britain. A railway accompanies the road at intervals during this part of the Jour ney; but It is a very unobtrusive rail way, and appears to boast about a couple of trains per diem in each direction. Its final objective, of course, f4s the ferry for Valencia island. Ami It Is for Valencia that another of our companions was bound-^-the te'egraph line. For Valencia Is one of the cable stations; and those ordinary looking wires, nine of them only, which pass 'from pole to pole along the hedge side, are throbbing, maybe, with ihessages for New York. A curious thought, in this solitude 1 But Kerry Is sophlsti* cated, in spots aft iLwere. It contains j three cable stations?the Valencia Is land one; the one at Balllnskelllgs, and the one at Watervllle. The result is that you' suddenly come loa queer cases of civilization: neat rows of vil las, spick and span gardens, and j evidences?I will not say of wealth, but at any rate of more comfort than is discernible In the thatch-roofed and generally poverty-stricken farms. A cable terminal, you learn with sur prise, employs a hlindred or more per sons?skilled persons, too; the kind of persons who have to be paid a sal ary which sounds like untold wealth In this neighborhood. Happy Valencia Island. It was interesting to come to the Valencia Island ferry and look across at a little town as neat as some nice French coast resort. But Valencia Is land. as we found, Is by way of being both rich and happy; arid even if Its cable station <lld not bring unusual comforts, the Knight of Kerry is one of those landlords who see to it that their property, and the tenants there on, are seemly to behold. Valencia we all liked; it was, to be candid, rather a contrast to the nearby Cahir civeen?of Wnich a small pupil had written (In one of the schoolU which ) we visited) in her essay: "Cahlrciveen Is a town with a great many houses, and most of them are public houses." For all that, Cahlrciveen is very characteristic and picturesque. Be yond it the road was, alas, pretty rough; army lorries, we were told, had ploughed if up, and there had been no time, afc yet, to put It uuder proper repair. An easy pace was not undesir able, all the same, for there was plenty to look at. On cither hand the hedges, we saw with delight, were fuchsia? i a testimony to the climate's softness. J Everywhere we went in this part of Kwry we were astonished at the vege ; tatlon. Fuchsias grew astonishingly. On Vnlenoia Island there Is one colos 1 sal tree of fuchsia, and here also we t saw ulor4ous pfttk gviaulums positively smothering a cottage wall. Arum lilies I flourished like weeds In the poorest j cardan- Along the bog sides, and rlgh' ! t, tn the seashore, there were often'j "v*. of vrtlow Irlso*. But the bogs, to the eyes of a atrangsr, looked bleak, one ipust confqpsr Kvery mile of the way beyond Klllorg Itp we had not been out of sight of* those sombre brown scars whleh mark where the apparently exhaustless pe^t Is being cut; and now, between Cabin clveen and Waterville these peat ex cavations were almost continuous. Be hind the bogs- rose long, empty hills, grey with bowlders or tinted here and there with the purple of bell heather. For some miles now we had been out of sight of the sea; but, descending a slope we came In view of It again, and of the jollir little town of Water ville, situated so sweetly on Balllns kelligs% bay, with the famous fresh water Lough Currane lying a mere300 yards or 300 yards Inland. Waterville has its terrace of pink villas, housing the cable staff; but It also owns a few hotels, and at one of theso we were excellently housed. Irish hotels not be* lng all they might be, one is glad to find a really satisfactory one, and moderate withal., Some of our party who paused to patronize the salmon and sea-trout fishing on Xough Cur rano were enthusiastic in their unan imous decision to return and make a longer sojourn. The lough, certainly Is one of the most beautiful I have ever had the fortune to behold. Our car, on the good advice of the hotel pro prietor turned aside anctexplored the valley .in which the lough lies, going as far as that dreamy tarn known as Coppal lake. Fishers who ply their craft in such scenery are Indeed to be envied. 8ome~ Glorious Scenery. But the best was yet in store for us. Returning to the main road and leaving pleasant Waterville in our | rear, we began the ascent of the'Coo innkista pass. Now, the Ooomakista pass, I hereby announce to those who | have not heard of It before, Is one of the most glorious, .patches of sea and mountain scehery In Europe.. I know the Cornlche on the Riviera, I have motored the new Italian roads above the Venetian plain, and also between Valona and Santk ^uankfi.Ut In Albania, and I can seriously assert that the view which abruptly unfolded before us at the summit of Cooma klsta, though slightly smaller in else than the celebrated ones I have men tioned, beats them all for sheer love liness and In the subtlety of what artists would call Its composition. Before us lay Darrynane bay, with its complicated contours, Its endless islands round which the Atlantic roll-j ers were creaming, Its delicious coves of yellow sands, Its huge woods. Its grand encircling rocks and broken sky line. The car drew up without any order being given to our chauffeur. It was as though he felt that this tribute j must be made to the extraordinary vision which had burst on us In this dramatic fashion. We stayed silent, by the stone dike which fenced us from the deep declivity, and gazed and gazed. It all seemed too exquisite to be true. And Darrynane, when at last we came to It?for we all. agreed, now, that we must leave the" m*Mn hfeti road and look more closely-at this wonderful Darrynane?was like a place In a fairy story. Just one small Inn? embowered In flowers (for the slope Is southerly, and we are on the Qulf stream)?and no other houses except one, that of the Liberator O'C^onnell's family; and, spread out, as smooth as velvet", sheltered sands for bathers (If any should come); and focks with pools of waving seaweed and anem ones; and deep coves In which bass and pollock could be caught in scores by tho merest tyro; and, to crown all. a magnificent lobster tea at the Inn aforementioned. Well, well I To think that Darrynane,. sleepy and bewitch lug, exists on the same planet Is Pad dington I . His Tactful Purpose. First Married Man?What are you cutting out of the paper? .
