NORTH CAROLINA AT CHARLES
TON EXPOSITION.

The woods of the State, which are
being specially prepared for display
at Charleston, will make great
show Mr. Boyd, of the Boyd Furni-
ture Company, an expert, is prepar-
ING the woods. Curator Brimlev is
preparing in admirable style the
fruits and vegetables. There will be
surprises even for North Carolinians
at the Charleston Exposition, when
they see what brave show their
State can make.
SO writes Col. Odds in his Raleigh
letter to the Charlotte Observer. 1t is
very gratifying to know that North
Carolina will have a good exhibit at
the Charleston Exposition. And to
those who know what the Old Mort h
State is capable of doing when she
tries we dare say there will be no sur
prises in what they see Of evidence of
her greatness. But there is cause for
regret in what they do not see at
Buffalo. 1t was 4 false idea of econ
omv that failed to make appropria-
ton for creditable and comprehen-
siye display of the States industries
and resources at the Pan-American
Exposition. Such an advertisement
would have paid many times over
what it cost

MONTAGUE'S GREAT VICTORY.

Hon. A. j. Montague. the young
aspirant for gubernatorial honors in
Virginia, whose auburn locks have
Won for him the popular sobriquet of
"Red Fox" and whose cyclonc force
has swept the State from one end to
the other and overwhelmed his adver-
saries like an Alpine avalanche, has
practically captured the nomination.
He has nearly enough delegates
pledged to nominate him on the first
ballot at the Norfolk convention on
August 18th, and there is already
talk of the probability of no ether
name going before the convention.
Montague has developed wonderful
strength, far greater than his friends
expected however much they NAV
have hoped for. 1t has gotten to be
such one-sided fight that interest in
the contest is waning, away here six
weeks before the end of the campaign.
One of his opponents. Mr.. Echols. has
already published card withdrawing
from the race. Unframed though he
was in the school of politics and I'M
skilled in the ways of the artful poll
tician, yet talented man that he is,
and full of energy and resourceful-
ness, MIR. Montague has managed his
forces with consummate skill and
ability and has won most remark
able victory in spite of the odds
against him.

DEATH OF Mr.. THE0. H. HILL.
He Was True Poet and Cultivated
Christian Gentleman

Mention was made ia these columns
last week Of the critical sickness at
his home in Raleigh of Mr.. Theophilus
Hunter Hill, the well known poet.
He died Saturday morning after an
illness Of three weeks with typhoid
fever He was in the Goth year Of his
age and was born in Raleigh, the son
of DR.. William G. Hill, noted physi-
clan and surgeon, and grandson OF
William Hill, who was for more than
40 years Secretary of State. He read
law but never practiced, and being
literary in his taste he became State
librarian in the early seventies, which
office he filled most acceptably for
number OF years. The News and o.
serrer says:
He was twice married, his first wife
being Miss Laura Philips, OF North
ampton county, and his second wife
was Miss Yancey. OF the first mar
riage three children survive, Theo.
H. Hill and Miss Rosa Hill, of this
city: and of the second marriage one
child, Miss Tempe Hill, survives.
Mr. Hill was real poet, being one
of the sweetest singers the South has
produced. His notes were always
clear and sweet and gentle. His
poems we're as artistic in finish as
they were musical in quality. He,
however. only published two small
volumes of poems. Mr.. Hills friends
urged him for several years to publish
a later edition Of his complete poems,
and include number of very sweet
poems that have in recent years been
published in newspapers and maya
zines He had entered upon the work
of publication, and the new volume
was to have been issued some time
this year.
In the Charlotte Observer the fol-
lowing reference is made to the dead
poet:
He had a literary bent, and in early
youth wrote some excellent verse.
His later poems justified his earlier
promise. and he contributed to North
Carolina literature some Of its best
work, musical and artistic. His
earlier poems were published under
Confederate copyright, but his first
volume was published in New York in
1869 His '.Passion Flower and
Other Poems" was published in 1898,
and this included his best works up
to that time. He had published a
number OF later poems in Northern
magazines and newspapers, and his
friends aud admirers had urged him
to issue n new edition Of his complete
works. He was engaged IN this task
at the time Of his death. He was es-
sentially lyric poet and his verse
had music in it. His simple poems,
like ..Willie,' possess the same
pathos that distinguished Eugene
Fields Little Boy Blue, and appeal
direct to the heart Mr.. Hill was not
one of the great poets Of his time; but
he was a pleasing singer, and his ad-
mirers ''deem his song and singing
we'll"

There is something about the average

State. They have an abnormal develop

COMMENTING on the personnel of
the Virginia Constitutional Conven-
ton, the Richmond Times says:
The convention is a body of as able
men as ever assembled in this State.
There are men in the body who are
serving at tremendous sacrifices. One
lawyer of large practice is losing at
least 81, 900 per month, and there are
others whose loss is almost as great.
Some of the strongest men in the con-
vention are gentlemen who have
never held public office, and were not
known of outside their respective
communities before they came here
as delegates to the convention.
