to Attend.

Prof. Holmes Of the Geological Sur
vey, returned East today from the
Western part of the State and reports
a more active and widespread interest
in the fair in that region than ever be-
fore. He says the people in these west
ern and Piedmont counties, and indeed
in all parts Of the State, are coming
to appreciate the vast Importance OF
having at the capital city large an
nual exhibit illustrative of the agrlcul-
tural and general industrial progress Ia
the commonwealth, and they are also
beginning to recognize the exceedingly
valuable services which Col. Cunning
ham and Board of Agriculture are rem
dering toward the development and exc
c,ItiOn of this great educational work.
Prof. Holmes also says that he hears
many favorable comments on the CALI
ing of the Cotton Growers Convention
by the officers of the Board of Agrlcul-
ture to meet in Raleigh during Falr
week, which promises important resuIts
for the State. The farmers from all
parts of North Carolina should send eX-
nlplts to the State Fair and every year
under such a call from the Agricultural
Board they should assemble in Raleigh
during Fair week and discuss hese
great problems with which they have to
deal.

MANY DIE IN THIS
FLOATING HE'LL
Continued From Thirteenth Page.)

The tug boat Reed ran under the
stern of the Nutmeg State, and some OF
the passengers jumped from the burning
boat to it's deck. Then the tug went
forward and made an effort to save the
imprisoned men in the crew quarters.
The heat was so intense that it drove the
tug away. and it again turned its atten-
tion to picking tine people UP from the
water. 1t made another attempt to
rescue the crew and some of the tug >
men chopped away some woodwork at
the bow of the Nutmeg State. Two OF
the firemen were saved, but the other
men of the crew, who probably were
exhausted from the smoke, were unable
to climb out of the hole before the
Reed was again forced away from the
ship ON account of the flames. 1t IS
believed that seven men of the Bridge
port boat were burned to death IN the
quarters below the bow
The passengers and members from the
burning ship were placed aboard the
steamer City of Lawrence and the body
Of Bagga gemaster Jaynes was also con-
veyed to the Hartford Liner, which pro-
ceeded ON her way to this city
or the seventy of the rescued aboard
only four needed hospital treatment.
The excitement was such at the time
of the abandonment of the burning ship
that no positive statement as to the
exact number of persons who persisted
can be obtained from the officers of the
boat or from any of the passengers res
cued. No record of those ON board was
kept by the purser, because the United
States Navigation laws do not require
coastwise craft making regular trips of
less than hundred miles to take a list
of passengers.

4 STRIKE Epidemic.

Strikes are serious things, and IN view
of the number that have occurred u +
well to remember that until the cause
be removed, dissatisfaction wall depre-
ciate work and prove menace to socie-
ty. But it is not only the commercial
life which has it's strikes. The wnoie
country is grooming under the strike o.
the stomach, and many people make the
mistake of trying to suppress the symp-
toms instead of removing the cause.
There is but one sure way OF curing the
ills which arise from a rebellious stom-
ach and that is by an honest use OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Use 1t for
indigestion, constipation, dyspepsia, bill
business, liver or kidney trouble, and see
that a private Revenue Stamp covers
the neck of the bottle.
