keep coming in.
The secretary has been visiting various
county Fairs at which ne was richly sue

the State Fair. BY contact and min
Cling with the people he has heard them
| talk, and he knows they are coming to
the State Fair by the thousands. They
will make the next Fair week the occa
sion of the greatest reunion ever known
among North CarOlinians. Everybody
has heard Of the wonderful special at

there, because everybody else will be on

The great day is Tuesday, October lS.
| On that day the most magnificent and

procession ever conceived by city of
| R4leigh's size will be the attraction.
The City of Oaks will do credit to her
self and to the State on that day, and she
invites the people of the State to come

Adverse Criticism.

The general impulse to bestow praise
and the discrimination which alone
gives praise and value, are not very
often found In conjunction. The man
who unites these traits Is true bene-
factor and inspirer of his fellows The
general habit is to be niggardly OF com
mendation. We seem to be afraid that
if we tell people they have done well
they will never do any better Adverse
criticism 10 considered wholesome. To
feel always that more is expected Of
him Is the spur that every man is sup
pose to need But to express satisfaction,
even when performance warrants it. Is,
to say the least, Of doubtful expediency,
II not positively mischievous, Most
plants and flowers thrive best in the
sunshine, but human products it would
appear, grow ripest and richest in the
dark and cold. -Examiner.

Mammoth Animals Which are Rapidly

Writer'S OF q century or moro ago
were accustomed frequently to speak
of the ''sea horse" and ''sea cow" BY
the first name they referred to the wal
rus, which Is one of the most interest
ing of animals simply for the reason
that 1t is among the most useful There
is serious prospect that before many
years have passed the species will be
altogether exterminated, and this will
be extremely unfortunate, inasmuch as
the people who live in Arctic regions
depend upon 1t to great extent for
their own survival The walrus has
been called the camel of the Esquimau.
To that race this creature Is as impor-
tant and even essential as the ship of
the desert Is to the Arab or the cocoa
palm, to quote vegetable smile, to
the South Sea Islanders.
Its flesh Is of use for food, It's oil
for warming and Illuminating pur'
poses, and its tough skin, stretched
over wooden frames, for making
canoes But these are only q
few of the uses to which the
walrus Is put Its intestines supply an
admirable waterproof clothing, the
soles Of the flippers made into footgear
and the sinews are employed in the
manufacture of nets wherewith to cap
ture birds The ivory of the tusks is OF
excellent quality; it is of endless utility
for domestic purposes and is always Of
service as medium of barter with
traders for all the products of civiliza
ton which may be required by these
savages of the North. So indispensable
is this beast that walrus famines are
recorded in pathetic legends by all the
savage settlements of the Arctic
Whole colonies Of Esquimaux have per
ished from time to time through an UNI
