Blow Out The Tallow Dips.

This is an age Of electricity,
yet there are some people who
persist in burning taliow candles
There is class of citizens in
North Carolina who persist IN
ooasting that what " as good &
nough for my daddy is good e.
nough for me-
They attribute lack of quick
perception to conservatism, and
wrap inactivity and lack of en-
ergy in that thread bare garment
and think it wisdom.
1t North Carolina is TO foreeo
to the front in material progress
and educational development, the
sooner she 1elegates that class of
citizens to the rear or wakes them
up, the better for her, and tor
them. We have been patting that
class upon the back for the past
twenty five years and saying: 90
he's honest" and III a great many
instances giving them place in
the councils Of State. Well, what
if they are honest? Honesty, abb
oolutely necessary for wise lead,
ership, is not the only qualihca-
ton. We used 10 have one eyed
blue speckled hound that had a
nose SO cold he would open up"
on a 'possum's track that was "A
hours ola and trail him all night
But he scarcely ever put any>
thing up a tree. What North
Carolina needs is TO put some
thing up a tree Her law makers
need TO get out OF the old rut and
gives us laws that tend to prog
ress. Laws that will induce cap,
ltal to come into the State and
help us develop our wonderful
natural advantages; laws that do
justice to every class of earning
whether 1t be brains,
or money. 1t is getting
time to blow out the "talloW dip"
OF our grand daddles and turn on
the electric lights of the TWEEN
tieth century that the outside
world may see more of us, and
get better acquainted with US

At Roanoke Island the fisher

nearby is Nag's Head Hotel,
boarding houses and cottages,

the island village and county
seat is Manieo, called so after the
Indian Chief who was the first
American Indian converted to
Christianity.
If you car make a gift for the
founding of this institution l am
confident that | can get a direct
appropriation from the State and
an enabling Act which will per-
NIT the eighteen fishery counties
to subscribe and also the fishery
towns named. If the State sub~

point the Librarian, who could
be Ex>of1cio Secretary of the
Association, from three names
recommended by the Association
to secure a satisfactory officer.

you relative to the proposal will

assure you that the proposal is

would seem needless for me to

q puny, delicate little child absolute
ly dying from neglect. There are
many little ones, whose cheeks
would grow rosy, whose eyes would
grow bright, whose flesh would be
plump and pretty if only the worms
that are knawing at their vitals were
removed, which is easily effected
with Mothers Worm Syrup, so nice
to take that children ask for it. AL
