NORTH CAROLINA AT THE
COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.

There is no matter in which the
people of North Carolina are more
deeply interested, than the success of
the exhibit which they will make at
the Columbian Exposition. This Ex-
position will furnish us an opportunity
OF making the world acquainted with
our great and varied resources, and if
a proper exhibit can be made, the
benefit resulting to our State will be
incalculable. There are a number
of departments in which we could
excel almost any other State if these
interests are properly illustrated. We
have greater variety of minerals,
metal and gems, than any other State.
We have a greater variety of valuable
timbers. Our agricultural products
are more varied, and include larger
variety of those in the cultivation of
which there is great profit.
We note with great pleasure the
satisfactory progress which is being
made by the Department of Agricul-
ture, assisted by the ladies of the State,
in preparing our exhibit. When we
consider the limited resources at their
command, they have so far done re-
markably we'll and deserve the graft
tude of the people of the State. They
should receive more hearty and cor
dial assistance from the people. By
a united and earnest effort we will have
a display of our resources at Chicago
of which We need not be ashamed.
We learn that great progress has been
made in preparing the exhibit of fish
and fowls and that in this depart
ment we will make magnificent
show. We also learn that the Dur
ham Bull Tobacco Company will
make show of the products of their
mammoth factory, and we venture to
say there will be nothing at Chicago
to equal it, for when julie Carr under
takes to do anything he always does
it WE'LL
We are not informed as to the prog
ress the ladies have made in raising
the necessary funds to erect a State
building, but have no doubt that their
efforts will be successful. They have
worked diligently and deserve great
praise. The time has come when
whatever they lack in raising the
necessary amount should be made up
at once by our wealthy citizens. These
women have worked faithfully and
deserve to be at once relieved from
the burden by the generous contribu-
tions of the wealthy citizens of the
State, many Of whom could contribute
the whole amount without inconven-
! ienCe.
We would be glad to see deeper
interest in this matter manifested by
the people generally. Every man in
the State is interested in the success
of this exhibit and should realize the
fact and as far as he may be able,
render aid to the undertaking. Let
us go to Chicago with our heads up

MY MOTHER.
[Atlanta Constitution. I

My mother! How these magic words,
My heart with rapture thrill!
Wooing from memOry's hallOwed chords
Their sweetest music still;
Down the dim pathway Of the years,
My footsteps l retrace.
Till, shining through a mist Of tears,
see my mothers face.
The sweet mouth, ever wont to speak
With such a winning way,
The soulful eyes, the dimplcd check,
The dark hair, streaked with gray;
1ne mien, SO full of gentieness,
The form. SO fine and fair,
The love no tongue can e'er express
All, all again are there
l see her kneeling down to pray.
Beside my trundle bed,
feel the tender hand that lay
Upon my curly head
And, following the good d-night" kiss,
| hear-Oh crown Of joy
GLOW we'll l yet remember this ,
Her fond, God bless my boy -
Back to the days of manhood's prime,
TO the dear spot, the sad, sweet time,
When last l saw her face;
Beside the open gate l stand,
And tears are in her eyes
L leel the laSt grasp OF ner nanu,
l hear her last "goOdby"
My mother! Many year ago
She entered into rest.
Above her head the roses blow,
And viOletS on her breast
Y ct is her face the faireSt still,
In memOry's golden frame,
And still my heart strings throb and thrill
At mention of her name

GET TO WORK.

Well organized work is what is now
needed in the Democratic ranks in
this State and county. 1t would be
we'll to get down to work and that
pretty quick.
Thorough organization in every
township will be more effectual than a
great many campaign speeches, though
the speeches are also necessary.
The Atlanta Constitution, writing
along this line, puts the matter in a
nutshell, by saying: The committees
will have to be organized; the litera-
ture must be provided; fund must
be raised and corps OF active workers
must be organized.
1t will not do in such struggle to
rely wholly upon platform and a
ticket. Our workers must get out
among the people and sound the
danger signal everywhere.
Inactivity among our leaders will
cause apathy among the masses, and
apathy is just what our opponents hope
for.
A few speeches will not accomplish
everything. From now until Novem

arcd volley after volley into the ranks
Of the strikers, many of whom were
downed by bullets. some Of them being
fatally injured and Others killed out
right.
As the battle progressed the strikers
took position behind the breastworks
hastily constructed of steel and bilIe,s
and from this place OF safe refuge were
able to pick off the detectives as soon
as they appeared on the decks of the
boats.
When it was found that little i'm :
preston could be made by cannon on
the boats, an effort was made to iee
the harges, and thus compel the de-
tectives to leave the vessels or suffer
tie terrible fate Of being burned alive.
Hose was procured and oil was spouted
on the sides and decks Of the barges,
and while this was being done barrel
sfter barrel OF it vas esnptied into the
river above the nooring place, the
object being to allow it to float against
the boats and ignite it. This terrible
deed was attempted several times, but
the boats did not burn, and then the
mob became infuriated and hurled
dynamite bombs a. the vessels with
great effect.
The situation of the detectives was
such as to appall the stoutest heart.
The men had been left cooped up in the
barges at the mercy Of the infuriated
mob. The towboats had left them,
and they were so encompassed by the
maddened army of strikers that no
succor could reach them. Three times
they ran up flag Of truce, but as many
times it was stricken down by bullets
fired by the strikers.
At s O'Clock the Pinkerton men
hung out another white flag and this
time it was respected and committee
of the strikers went aboard to pro-
pose terms Of capitulation. They
guaranteed safe conduct for the Pin
kertons provided they left their arms
and ammunition behind and agreed to
leave the place under guard.
The detectives had no alternative
and promptly accepted the terms,
some of the men saying that it was the
first time that they had ever submitted
to such humiliating surrender. When
an inspection Of the boats was made
it was found that seven of the Pinker-
ton men had been killed and twenty
or thirty wounded, many of them 50

As they were brought from the boat
they presented terrible appearance.

THE PRINCETON TEAM.
Some Very Interesting Pointers About the

exceptions, picked his team for the spring
baseball series, and baseball men are Begin
ming to calculate Princeton's cnances for re-
tanning the championship banner, which she
now holds. The team has lost five OF last
years veterans-Dana, Payne, DureIl, Knick-
erbocker and Brokaw. However, there are
lots of good material, and the men are work
ing harder and more Systematically than
ever before. Captain Young, who is gener-
ally accounted the best college pitcher in
the country, will be in the box again, and
Princeton men are relying largely on his
curves for success. The tall and handsome
figure OF Fred Brokaw will not be seen back
OF the plate this year.
EVERYBODY knows of his heroic efforts to

mer, AMI how he was swept out in the
treache -oas "seapuss:" His place will lie
spiendidly, but in backstop work he is not
yet up to the mark. He is improving rapidly,
however, and will likely be in good form for
the championship games. Otto, '95, will play
first. He is tall and slender, and in his style
of play reminds every one of his predecessor,
Charlie Dana. Phil King, the famous foot
ball player, will be on second. He excels
alike in batting, base-running and fielding.
As second baseman he will not be sur
passed in the colleges. Shortstop lies be-
tween Brooks, 95, and A Young, 80, with
the chances in favor OF Brooks. He is quick
and nervy fielder and one of the heaviest
batters in the University. E. Ramsdell. 'A
the famous sprinter and broad Jumper will
play third. His home runs in the last cham

have his OLE place in center. He Is brilliant
fielder, but weak at the bat. The other two
positions will 60 to the best batsmen of half

Altogether, the feeling is that the situa-
tion is encouraging. Harvard is possibly the
more formidable rival, on account of the
prowess of Highlands in the box. Bowers
will pitch for Yale again, and unless he has
improved greatly he will likely be hit rather
freely, The series will be close and excit-
ing, but Captain Young says he would not
trade prospects with either OF the other
teams.
