Brown spoke for North Carolina and
said:
Like all sections Of this country, North

Orbed sun of prosperity of which we have
been hearing this morning. Our average
width is only about one hundred miles,
we are beginning to see the Frightening

but extending from east to west we run
nearly five hundred miles, and am told
that toward China we run fully a thou
sand miles. Turn us upside down and
use our highest western peak as a pivot,
twirl us about, and as we swing around
the circle, the waving rice crops of East
ern North Carolina would scatter their
pearly grains upon the waters of your
Great Lakes, along and beyond the val
ley of the Mississippi, and down upon
the bosom of the majestic gulf whose
waters lie at the far South. So you see
we are far reaching State in many d.

our banks are in excellent condition
We have no very large banks, it is true,
nor have we any very large cities. l
wish we had, for then we could entertain
this Association at one of its conven-
lions. We would be glad to give you a
taste of North Carolina hospitality,
which 1 verify believe almost equals the
rich hospitality to which we have been
treated here. (Applause).

BICYCLING ADVICE.

Fancy riding in public places is at all
times bad form, whether on a country
road or in city park.
When riding in the city use the han
dlebars. They are designed for that
purpose. and may save a Doctors bill
or a lawyers fee
1t is the fashion nowadays to have a
monogram engraved on your wheel. 1t
Is inexpensive, decorative, and a useful
means of Identification.
Castor gloves, with fur wrists and
wool lining, are most useful for winter
riding. Leggings of castor are also
worn in frosty weather.
Don't ring your bell too often. there
is already noise enough In the city;
don't fail to ring it when necessary. as
there are funerals enough everywhere.
Slim girls, whose lack of avoirdupois
will permit it, are discarding corsets
from their wheeling wardrobe. saying
that they ride better. feel better and
look better without them.
Dismounting from G. wheel is not one
of those things that were well done
quickly" Dismount slowly, even where
danger threatens; otherwise. the
chances are you win jump from the
