simplicity of our people, and it can
be economically arranged to meet our
needs for this occasion.
1t IS deplored that the name Tryon
became associated with this historic
edilice. 1t is d name associated IN
our history, with the egotism, ostenta-
ton, and misdeeds of a man whom
we all execrate. In these personal
attributes the house took no part. The
man we condemn to obloquy, but the
building we wish to reproduce as a
colonial legacy from our wrong
opposing ancestors, to emphasize the
advance Of architecture and as land
mark in the evolution of the colony
into State.
Virginia proudly claims to he the
Mother of States. We claim that
North Carolina is the Mother of
Colonies.
Here was planted the first colony
in North America. Here was born
the first white native American. Here
was shed the first blood of the Revolu-
ton. Here was made the first Decla-
ration of Independence. Here was
the first generous cession of territory
to make another State.
Ever first for the right and against
wrong can such a State, with such
people, stand idle, while the pro-
cesslon of States passes on through
this gate of opportunity into the fields
of progress and development 1t must
not be.
Asan original colony-as the mother
of all the colonies, North Carolina
must take her rightful position in this
Columbian Celebration.
| call upon the women of the State
TO join in the effort to accomplish
this.
Like all our earthly efforts, money
is necessary to its success, and we
ask all to give something and thus
make the result great.
Bear in mind, daughters of this
mother OF colonies, that the first white
child born on her shores was a girl
Virginia Dare. The winds and waves
of Roanoke Island yet hold fast the
mystery of her fate, yet down the
sounding aisles of time her name
comes echoing as an inspiration to
North Carolina women, to Dare make
an effort to show her birth place and
theirs in way worthy of its history.
Women of North Carolina, do no,
let us fail. SALLIE S. GOTTEN,
Chairman Ladies' Committee.

After having tried 4 simple expert
ment on having early watermelons.
l will offer my plans to your readers,
feeling that it may be Of benefit tc
some one.
Take tin cans (oyster or salmon
and heat them hot enough to melt the
solder; then remove the tops and
bottoms, and also open the joints on
the sides. Tie string around the
cans to hold the edges together, and
set on plank, that they may he moved
out on Sunny days, or in warm
dry place, where they will be protected
from the cold, and fill with DIRT
Plant the seed in the cans, and give
them plenty of air and light. Wher
frost is over, take to the field, oper
a hole in the hill and place the car
in it. Then cut the string, remove
the can by pressing open and th'
plant will grow off as rapidly as i
first planted in the hill Have row
ten or twelve feet apar, and hills tel
feet apart. Thin plants to two in ;

them with ashes. by this methoc

vince you. And whether you are or not
if you are Interested in the trade Or what
is going on in your midst such 81 visit
will reveal much worth the time and
trouble it costs yon.
Whatever may be said about the COM
bination of capital Of which this is one OF
the parts, the GOLD LEAL pro-
poses to speak of things as it finds them,
without prejudice or partiality. In
or rather a series OF great enterprises.
for such in fact is the interest OF this
concern in Henderson-and by way Of
credit to our town and market, which it
has done so much to build up and sup
port, we desire to refer to the business
and buildings of the Allen & Ginter
Branch as we have them here, believing
il will prove interesting reading and
help to point a moral by practical il
| lustration of what thorough system,
strict attention to every detail, close
economy in time, labor and expense
in short, mastery management-will
; accomplish. And if these things can be
SO we'll observed, and are regarded as OF
such vital Importance, in the conduct OF
a vast concern like this, how much cas-
ier and more necessary that they should
be in the smaller affairs of ofevery day bus
mess. And right here let us venture the
assertion that in the practice OF these
matters lies one OF the secrets of success,
in this or any other business, great or
small
To the splendid generalship displayed
in the management of it's business here,

whose service it was fOrtunatein securing
when Henderson was decided upon as a
suitable location for establishing itself
in the heart of the Golden Tobacco Belt
OF North Carolina. His ripe experience
as q Judge of the leaf and an expert
handler of the same, his well-knOwn ex-
ecutive ability, extensive acquaintance
with the trade aad it's requirements, and
his perfect familiarity with the business
in hand, eminently qualified him for the
duties of such a responsible position,
and the observant and astute gentlem en-
who were desirous OF assOciating him
with them, were quick in discerning it.
The success of his work and the satisfac-
tory and splendid manner in which the
Company's affairs are conducted, as will
be shown further on, abUndantly show
the wisdom of such q choice

In ConS,ructin, road through a
level country 1t should always br
raised above the level of the land 10

bitches can be used for this purpose.
Then having been raised to the proper
height, care should he taken in shap-
ing it. |; has lecn found that two
planes meeting in the centre of The
road, having the angle slightly
rounded, is best. The angle of incli-
nation may be about one foot in
twenty-four. This gives dry bed,
with no danger of upsettins a wagon,
and induces travel indifferently on
all parts of the bed. In steep hill
the slant may be all toward the inside
and the ditch on the upper side may
be drained by blind bitches leading
under the road. This will do away
with the system Of breakers, which are
among the greatest evils of our coun-
try roads.
There should he raised footpaths on
the sides of all carriage ways. They
need not be more than six or eight
inches high, and while they require
some little additional labor in con-
struction, they richly repay the ex-
pense in their added comfort to pc
destrians. Outside Of these should be
placed the bitches, one on each side
in level country, and one on the up
per side when the road is constructed
on hillside. These are very import
ant, since they are essential to the
dryness of the bed, and under the
most favorable circumstances they
should be between two and three feet
deep; the depth increasing with the
width of the road and nature Of the
soil. To prevent their being filled up
it is we'll to have hedge or fence be-
tween them and the footpa.hs, and
! great care should be taken TO keep
them clear of distractions.
AS regards the covering Of the road
bed, this should be such as will COM
bine cheapness with durability.
Among the best is gravel and finely
broken stone. Paving stone is really
the best, hut it is too expensive for or
dinary roads. In soil especially suit
ed to the purpose, the bed may be
left bare. In this case especial care
should be taken in regard to the
drainage.
While the first roads of our country
cannot strictly be said, like the streets
of London, to have been laid out by
the COWS, nevertheless they were often
the results of accident, being the
nearest route from house 10 house of

sparsely settled districts. AS the pop
ulation of the country grew these were
seldom changed, but simply widened
to accommodate the increase of traf-
6c. Thus we have many poorly 10
Gated roads, which the farmers now
object to changing, preferring them
as they are to having their farms cut
up in making new ones. Yet it would
be greatly to their advantage to do
this, since they waste more time and
labor in travelling over steep roads
than the land which would be spoiled
in making new ones would be worth.

aid:
" In this day God has mercifully
allowed those of us who have limited
incomes to make provision for our
families through the great life insur-
ance companies all over the land. By
some self-denial on our part we can
make this provision for those whom
we shall leave behind us. Is there
anything SO helpless as woman
whose husband has just died, when,
with her children at her back, she
goes out in this day to fight for
bread Shall she become a menial
servant in some one else's household ?
No; not the one that has been lying
on your arm all these years and fill
ing the household with joy and light.
Shall she sew for a living +? God
knows that they get but six and eight
cents for making one garment. All
no you had better have your coffin
made large enough to take them all
with you into that land where they
never freeze nor starve. How man
with no surplus of estate, but still
enough money to pay the premium on
a life insurance policy, can refuse tc
do it, and then look his children ir
the face, and say his prayers at night
on going to bed, expecting them to be
answered, is mystery to me that
have never yet been able to fathom.' -
There is lots of sound sense in The
above, and there are few men o
Drawn and brain that cannot afford tt
carry a life policy and thus provide
against the fearful condition that mus
await the family unprotected.

 "l was amazed and astCnished at tho sights about me" said Mrs Mary A, Livermore, the army nurse, in recent camp fire talk. How terribly profane many of the men were, and the chap lain would ride up lO the ambulance and say to me, Did you ever hear anything. like the way these men swear? Just think how many of them will die and how unprcparcd they are!

The dust was suiTOcating. filling the throat, nostIlls and eyes, and horses and men began to drop. and now began to see that the men about mo were quite a different lot from what they had first appeared. saw this. that notwithstanding the fact that the men swore, uO man was allowed to drop during that days march without being cared for Not once did the army pass on over him and say, Miserable fellow, he shouldn't have cnlisted: he was cared for, although the men who dropped were generally the same worthless men for soldering purposes, and the officers knew it and their companions generally knew it, and yet none was left there to die, and said to the chap lain: After all, chaplain, these men are better Christians than we are. Wedon't swear at home. We are careful about our speech and exceedingly careful, no matter what we think, in moments of excitement to bridle our tongues; but whenever anybody drops by the roadside with us-the drunkard, the forger, the woman who steps out of the line-we go on and we tread them down, and we with our white hands press them back and will not let them find place again in society, not even though they seek it through tears.
 That was the first lesson learned when l went in among the soldiers in the army. It was rare class of men. Never yet have heard woman or a man who went down into the army to do service, to minister to those who needed help, come back with the statement, 'n''~ or'nv has diSaDpOinted us. ."

The superior and massive Roman pavements, over 2,OOO years old and still in fair preserva- tion, are here not taken into considera- ton. The material for streets is stone, cut about the size and shape of ordinary bricks or little larger.
