fears that the south will not be we'll rep
resented at the Columbian Exposition
are well founded as far as North Caro-
lima is concerned. Thanks to the wis
dom of the legislature, there is no pub
lie fund to provide for a state exhibit;
and as far as the Herald knows, Gov.
HOLT is the only citizen, out of a popu-
lation of more han a million and a half,
who has volunteered to draw on his pri-
vate bank account for a reasonable share
of the necessary expense. AS nobody
has responded to the governors propo-
sition, it appears to be quite probable
that North Carolina will not be repre-
sented at all at the exposition. The
short sighted policy of the legislature
that left the state in this fix cannot be
too strongly condemned.-Salisbury
Herald.
If this is all that fails to be the matter,
why not suggest to GOVERNOR HOLT to
have another session of the legislature?
There is no member of that body who
would charge a salary-alL he would
want for one days business wouldhe his
railroad fare, and the railroads would do
that very quickly. 1t would take not
over a week to pass the bill-the differ
ent readings being necessary.
It will be a shame and a disgrace for
the great exposition, to which individu-
ais have contributed thousands, munich
palities hundreds Of thousands, states
half of millions andthe government mil
lions, as will be done, to be on in Chi
cago and North Carolina not represen-
ted. GOVERNOR HOLT could not do a
wiser thing, and he never could do a
better thing-than bring the legislature
together for that sole purpose.
Before GOVERNOR FowLE died he
made an eloquent talk on the platform
at Asheville, and told how he would rec
ommend a liberal appropriation.
It would be enterprise that would ad-
~vertise the state far and near, to call the
legislature together for such a noble
purpose.
All progressive citizens would favor
the state at heart would for a moment
object.
If GovARNoR Holt wants to give from
his purse, he could join with a few other
men, and a petition could be gotten
miles in length which would justify his
action in converting the solons.
Let GOVERNOR HOLT consider this
proposition; let KINGsBURY, DANIELS,
AsHE, ROBINSON, Cook ALDWELL-well
we wished we knew them-all come out
for such enterprise.
North Carolina should be represented,
and the legislators would do their duty to
their country.
Let a call be made.

LET HIM SHOW UP.
The Henderson Tomahawk says:

IA 1AOAoC4ooA q n says.
We not only had the official assur-
nee of the agricultural department, but
the personal word also of COMMISSIONERS
ROBINSON and INSPECTOR TERRELL
that the Durham fertilizer fraud
would be attended to in this county. We
gave them the names of a number of
reputable witnesses who received and
used the untagged mixture.
Court has come, the grand Jury has
adjourned, and the clerk of court in
forms us no was issued about
this matter at the instance of the depart
ment or anybody else.
We waive further comment till the de-
partment may rise to explain away, if
possible, the most ~unenviable position it
now occupies.
1t is nothing to US in particular, but
then we are a little bit inclined to think
that COMMISSIONER ROBINSON has been
playing a big game of bluff. He has-ap-
parently been attempting to make some
red fire with a cheap compound. He
has been pounding with a stuffed club
instead Of the law.
There are many cases before him, and
all of a sudden he was going to do so
much and then all of a sudden he col
lapsed. The thing for him to do as a
sworn officer, is to do his duty. He
knows what his duty is, and if he can
not do his sworn duty let him tell the
people the reason why.
The Durham Fertilizer concern has
confessed to this editor that it was in the
habit of practicing frauds. 1t is said that
it had violated the law-or it's officers
said so, and emphasized the fact by want
ing to know what we were going to do
about it.
The farmer Who~harvests a half crop
Of tobacco this year will never be gulled
again. He will never again buy ferti-
lizer which does not meet the ANALYSIS.
All the bowling in the world will not do
any good. All the paid puffs and testi-
monials from alleged alliance men viii
do no good. The fertilizer fraud is q
sinking ship and it should go down. 1t
has attempted fraud, and was detected.
ROBINSON should do his duty.

Preferred Captfvity,

Our pet goldhnch, having escaped from
his cage, flew into tall allanthus tree in
the back yard. There he sat, singing his
sweetest and rejoicing in his unexpected
freedom. We brought out his gilded cage
and set it on the top of tall stepladder,
leaving the door open, and just inside a
cup of tempting hempseed. For two hours
he scorned to look at it, though he often
fixed his bright little eyes on US when we
called him, and answered with a CHEEKY,
defiant "witzahP' We had almost given
up hope of ever getting him back, when it
occurred TO us to ring his breakfast bell
in other words, to rattle up the hempseed
in the tin box where it was kept.
This was sound he understood, as we
had long made it a practice thus to an
nounce breakfast to his finchship. Fort
unately he had nothing TO eat when he
flew away, and the well known sound sug-
gested seed, water and lettuce TO the little
empty stomach, so he hoped down slowly
from bough to bough, until he was close
to the cage. There he stood for some time,
evidently hesitating, until suddenly he
futtered down into his home. having de-
cided to abandon the delights Of liberty
for the solid comforts of civilization

Modern Conversation.

Talleyrand, looking back, declared that
he who had not lived before the French
revolution knew nothing of the charm of
living. Now, however, in England at least,
conversation, like letter writing and a
hundred other social joys of quiet and
leisurely age, is fed, and in their place we
have kilograms, slang and slovenliness.
There seems to be a general agreement
that in our time conversation is in bad
way. Without repose, without a certain
strain of old world courtesy, without
manners, in short, conversation is impossi-
bic. Many will agree with NJ Renan, who
finds this to be pushing, selfish, demo-
cratic age, of which ''first come first served"
is the rule, and which has ceased to pay any
heed to civility. Nor is this a question
only of manners.
When the philosopher Schopenhauer
used to dine in tail coat and white tie at
the table d'hote in Frankfort he used daily
to place gold piece beside his plate.
"That," he explained when asked, sis to
go to the poor whenever | hear the officers
discuss anything more serious than women,
dogs and horses" The gold piece always
reappeared, and / fear it would do so in
places nearer than Frankfort. Forty years
ago Sir Arthur Helps in Friends in Coun-
Gil" pronounced the main current of so
ciety Ireary and dull" 1t has not improved

Going to Canossa.

A correspondent asks: what is meant
by going to Canossa?"
The saying refers to the humiliating pill
grimage made by the Emperor Henry "
to Italy in the year 1917 Henry had OBJ
jected to the claims advanced by Gregory
Hildebrand and, refusing to submit, was
communicated by that pontiff The en-
peror at first laughed at the sentence, but
took a more serious view when he found
himself deserted even by his personal at
tendants, and resolved on journey to Italy
to make his peace with the pope. The lat
ter was then at the Castle of Canossa,
fortress of the Countess Matilda, and sit
uated in the mountains of Modena. Thither
the emperor fastened, but the pope refused
to see him save under the most degrading
conditions
The desperate situation of Henry COM
PEELED him to submit, and for three days
and nights, barefooted and bareheaded,
clad only in hair shirt, the raimens of
penitent, he waited at the gate AT the
end of this fearful penance, which was IN
dergone in the month of January, he was
admitted to the papal presence, was abb
solved and received his dominions as a
gift from the pope. The expression has
ever since been current as indicative of alb
ject submission on any terms imposed by
the conqueror.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

PrinterS' Epftaphs.


One of the oldest epitaphs upon printer
is that inscribed upon monument erected
in St. Mary's church, Datchet, to Chris
topher Barker, at one time printer to
Queen Elizabeth 1t runs as follows:
Here Barker lies, once printer to the crown,
Whose works of art acquired great renown;
Time saw his worth, and spread around his
fame,
That future printers might imprint his name.
But when his strength could work the press no
more,
And his last sheets were folded into store
Pure faith, with hope (the greatest treasures
given),
Opened their gates and bade him pass to
heaven.
In different strain is the next epitaph
we shall quote. 1t purports to be written
by the defunct himself, but whoever wrote
it showed pretty turn for makinga merry
ouip of serious topic. No better idea of
death being release from cares and
troubles could be conveyed than in the fol-
lowing lines:
No more shall copy bad perplex my brain;
No more shall types small face my eyeballs
strain;
Nomore the proofs foul page create me troubles
By errors, transpositions, outs and doubles:
No more to overrun shall begin;
No more be driving out driving in.
The stubborn pressman's brow now may scott,
Revised, corrected, and finally worked off.
Here is a curt complaint:
Weary of distributing pye,
Pressed out Of life, now must die
I've cut my stick, my fount is sped,
My case is empty. as in life my head;
In fact. my Last impression is-I'm dead.

The FIRST Stove,

The first step in the development of the
stove was an open hearth. In some nations
1t has never advanced beyond that stage.
The Esquimau to this day, and the Indian
too, for the matter of that, heat their
dwellings by building fire in the center
of the room or hut, and permitting the
smoke to escape through hole in the roof
The consideration of light requires that
this hole should be large enough TO give
easy egress TO the vapor. and the larger
it is. of course, the more heat will escape
At the same time the inmates of the dwell
ing will have the same trouble that tor
mented the life of Kit Carson's pioneer.
If he have fire enough to warm him he
will burn; if he have not enough it Will DO
him no good.-Chicago Herald

Njl}!{lIl Eaglr



In the morning 1 was awakened by the
croaking Of a raven on the snow immedi-
ately over my head. and found that the
soft blue light of my grotto was replaced
1t the entrance by pink radiance, telling
that the day had dawDed bright and clear.
What glorious sight awaited me! The
heavens were without cloud, and the sun
shone with dazzling splendor on the white
robed mountains. The broad, unbroken
snow plain seemed to burn with light re-
fected from millions of snow crystals. The
great peaks were draped from base to sum-
nit in the purest white, as yet unscarred
by avalanches. On the steep cliffs the
snow hung in folds like drapery, tier above
tier, while the angular peaks above stood
out like crystals against the sky. ST. Elias
was one vast pyramid of alabaster. The
winds were still. Not sound broke the
solitude Not an object moved. Even the
raven had gone, leaving me alone with the
mountains.
As the sun rose higher and higher and
made its warmth felt, the SHOWS were
loosened here and there on the steep slopes
and broke away, gathering force as they
fell, and rushed down in avalanches that
made the mountains tremble and awak-
ened the echoes with a roar like thunder.
From small beginning high up on the
slopes the new snow would slip downward.
silently at first, and cascade over preci-
pices hundreds of feet high, looking like a
fall of foaming water; then came the roar,
increasing in volume as the flowing snow
involved new fields in its path Of destruc-
ton, until the great mass became irreslsti-
BILE, and plowed its way downward through
clouds of snow spray which hung in the air
long after the roar of the avalanche had
ceased.
All day long, until the shadows of even
ing fell on the steep slopes, this mountain
thunder continued. The echoes Of one
avalanche scarcely died away before they
were awakened by another roar. To wit
ness such a scene under the most favora-
bic conditions was worth all the privation
and anxiety it cost.-Israel G. Russell in
Century.
