News and OhserVcr.1

The DURHAM GLOBE continues with
force and power and patriotic ardor to
urge that a fund shall be raised by the
popular subscription to have a North
Carolina exhibit at the Worlds fair.
That vas the alternative which was sug-
gested when it was ascertained that the
provision made by the legislature was
not available, and THE GLOBE has earn
estly pushed the idea. 1t has done more
than advise and recommend; it started
the list with a subscription of $3.50.
This is very handsome. Why may
not others follow such a patriotic lead ?
In fact we observe that the Blackwell
Durham Tobacco company has with the
usual liberality of its president sub
scribed a thousand dollars. If others
would now say the word, the matter
would go forward. Cannot a hundred
patriotic citizens each contribute $3.50?
1t is true that som provision has been
made by the state board of agriculture,
but the cause is one hat appeals to the
individual citizen-and any addition to
what the board can appropriate will be
of material assistance. Mr.. Leo D.
Heartt, of Durham will receive all SUBJ
scriptions. We follow THE GLOBE in
our liberal aad patriotic citizens
take the matter in hand and make the
proposed exhibit an assured success.

The Worlds Largest Telegraph Office

The biggest telegraph office in the
world is that of London. 1t is located
in the general p~ostoffice building and is
not accessible to the general public. 1t
contains mor than 5000 operators, and
its batteries are supplied by a plant OF
10000 cells, or enough to make three
solid glass rows Of cells from the Cap
itol to the White House. This office
does more business than any office in the
United States. 1t dispatches its business
much quicker and more quietly than our
Offices do.
Of these 5000 operators about 1000

Let the Governor Help!
lAsheYille CitiZen.l

THE DURHAM GLOBE proposes to give
$3.50 to ar exhibition at the Worlds fail
and label it "North Carolina" if nc
other man or individual donates a penny
But THE GLOBE hopes, and so do we
that there will be a great many more pen
MES in the form Of substantial checks
contributed for this purpose, and that
North Carolina will have an exhibit at
the Worlds fair that will do the state
credit. But how is this to be brought
about? 1t occurs to The Citizen that the
governor would be the proper person to
give the thing a start. A powerful ad-
dress from him might awaken the peo-
pie to a full realization of what North
Carolina must miss if it is not so gener-
ously represented at Chicago as to at
tract the attention of a goodly percen-
tage of the visitors. At the present time
we are not going to anticipate the gov
ernor and point out the immense advan-
tages hat such an exhibition as that at
Chicago will be sure to afford. We are
only going to remind the people of
Asheville that it will be a curious COM
mentarY on their good sense if they fail
to see what the furthermost nations of
the earth already see, and are acting
upon, that the fair at Chicago will GER
tainly be the greatest the world has ever
knOwn-greatest not only as a show,
but as a means of making money, of ad-
ding to our population and to our
wealth.
1t will not be anticipating the governor
if we say that there should be an Ashe-
vile exhibition whether there is one for
North Carolina or not, and it is also
proper and timely to remind all who are
interested-and who is not THAT much
more of delay means that we shall be
shut out altogether, Already the fair
managers have begun of necessity to re-
fuse more space to some foreign exhibit

to act upon-that the Worlds fair at
Chicago is IN opportunity that comes but
few times in the life of any one genera
