' LKT I K LOOK I P Mr. J. u. Duke and purty visited tnderson last week. They Just drop >ed in unannounced on a trip of ln pection. Some time ago Mr. Duke vas credited with the statement that le was not projecting any exten? ion work in the near future, and hat he was very much interested in iis recent Canadian purchases. He lid state that before he would under ake any extension work, especially n the Piedmont & Northern, he had 0 see some results. From what we an hear, Mr. Duke has seen results, le seemed to be very much pleased rlth conditions, especially in Ander en. Many roads are built by direct sub idy, either in cash or In bonds. The Medraont and Northern did not ask he section through which it pansed or any auch subsidy, but asked for ontracts guaranteeing certain per cntage of the business. Was this not , fair proposition? They came of ering increased facilities, better ser ice. AND WHO WILL DENY THAT 'HEY HAVE NOT DONE THI8 AND 1 ORE? Although there be some who lid not stick up to their agreements. Can we blame the man who is put in,': out the money for his being autlous about any extension work? We have faith in these people. They ire our own Southern men. We be ieve that the fututre of this section s bright. We are bound to them in 10 ties except in the wish to see men pine in here and invest their money loins what our own people cannot ?r will not do. We believe that railroads civilize nul enlighten and broaden, and the teed of such agency in this city is vident from the croaklngs of some. - Tlie' men who'own'the jmost of the oad arp being pulled at and hauled r/ mer* from all over the world to nake Investments with them, and apltal is . like human nature, prone o seek the sunshine. . The fact that Mr. Duke was accom tanled on this trip by one of the ;reatest financiers of New York city -Mr. McRoberts, the vice president ind financier of the great National Mty Ei.^k of New York, indicates cry clearly that there is some move ontemplated. The Piedmont and Northern road has never been bonded, s It not a reasonable proposition to oppose that if the road keeps on taylng as it ia now doing, and will leap on doing, if it gives the service tonds will be Issued for the promo ion of extension work. We believe hat extension is bound to come as tight Is to follow day. But no comany with an ounce, ot i'ense will do any construction work imphg' hostile people. Tills' ^iper vfane's to sec th? extension work wal We believe that .

Written for The IntelUngencer by Neai's Creek Correspondent. %A story is told of a farmer who saw a party of horsemen riding about his farm. Having one field fenced In, because he was desirous that no one ride over it. he sent a boy, telling him to close the gate, end guard it; and on no account let it be opened. Scarcely had the boy closed tue gaie when the hunters came, and ordered him ?j open it. This he refused to do, telling them the orders he had re ceived. They threatened and tried to bribe, but in vain, i-ater one of them said : "My boy, you do not know me. I am the Duke of Welling ton, and I command you to open that gate, that I and my friends may pass through." The boy lifted his cap, and stood uncovered, before the mai whom all England delighted to honor. Then he answered 'firmly. "I am euro the Duke of Wellington would hot wish me to disobey orders. I. must keep this gate shut, and not allow any one to pass but with my master's permission." Greatly pleased, the old warrior lifted his hat and said: "I honor the man or boy who can neither be frightened nor bribed Into doing wrOng." After banding the boy a sovereign, he galloped off. Boys, and young men, you are gate keepers; and the Master commanda, "Be thou faithful unto death." When your associates tempt you to drink, smoke cigarettes use profane language and the like, keep the gate of your mouth fast closed. Close the gate of yOur ears against those who would lead you into questionable places, teach you to speak falsely, deal false ly, or disobey your parents.

"Now, I saw that I consider a bank in this section would be self-support ing." At this point Senator Smith was asked what district he had In mind. He named-a district compos ed of Georgia, South Carolina, Ala bama, Florida, perhaps Mississippi, East Tennessee and possibly Western Northern Carolina.. In substantiating Me claim that' the district would be self-supporting* Senator Smith assert ed that a misapprehension would re- { suit If one Bimply considered the fig ures fixed by the bills payable from bank? of tills section during the months of August, September; Oc tober and a part of July and of No vember, when the cotton crop comes upon the market. New York a Debtor. . Senator Smith voiced th?* opinion that New York (s a debtor to this section much more than this section Is a bedtor to New Yjrk. "Eight months of the year our banks carry deposits In New York and pay inter est on them. Four months of the year we borrow from New York.

"I think the southern cotton States," he said, "are entitled to two of the,'re serve districts. I don't believe this bill could have been passed except by the support of the southern and western senators." In conclusion Senator Smith advo cated the establishment of reserve hanks hi the largerf cities of the South on the ground that these cities would object to being thrown to a smaller, city,.
