THE PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION.
The exposition at Buffalo will be one
of the greatest this country has ever
seen. The entire machinery will be run
by the power furnished from Niagara
Falls. Although the motive power re-
quired is enormous we believe it is equal
to the task, the same as Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is equal to the task of sup
plying the human body with motive pow
or when it is enfeebled and run down. It's
power to revitalize the system and sup
ply new life and energy is well known.
There is no other medicine in the world

Manteo, N c., May ia rather unique
occurrence is reported from the upper
part of Roanoke Island. The story goes
that one of the resident citizens. Mr..
Charles Meekins, recently bought a horse
in Elizabeth City and after bringing it
home and using it for some time had oc-
casion to remove some leaked" dirt from
the hollow of the horses foot, when to his
surprise he found ten dollar gold coin
imbedded in the accumulated dirt. Many
owners of horses formerly owned in Eliz-
abeth City, have since manifested much
interest in the condition of their feet.

Rural Free Delivery.

Especial to News and Observer
Greenville,, N. c., May 13.-Through the
efforts of Congressman John H. Small, an
agent of the Postoffice Department was
recently in Greenville, investigating the
feasibility Of several rural free delivery
routes petitioned for to start from this
place Four routes have been laid out, and
viii probably go into operation within the
next month. These routes average about
twenty-five miles in length, and the four
viii serve an estimated population of from
five to six thousand people, most of whom
now have to go from five to eight miles
for their mail.
The carriers will make a daily trip
Sundays excepted), will collect and deliver
mail and will sell stamps, stamped en-
velopes, postal cards and newspaper wrap
eprs, besides registering letters and re-
ceiving applications for money orders
The tremendous growth of the rural
free delivery system has already made
it one of the most important branches of
the postal service. The first experimental
appropriation for the system was made
by Congress in 1895, and amounted to
but $4,000, whereas, the appropriation
available July l. 1901, is $3,500,000.
There are now in operation in the Uni
ted States about 1000 routes, while some
ten thousand petitions for the service are
now on file with the Postofice Depart
ment
The system is not only a convenience
to the farmers by bringing their mail
daily to their doors, but serves as a
means of education for their children.
The Greenville routes are the first ones
laid out in the First Congressional dis

Especial to News and Observer
Wilson, N. c., May 1S-The Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society of the North
Carolina conference held two sessions on
Saturday and one on Sunday. The con-
vention was called to order by Mrs. J. A.
Cunningham, of Greensboro, and the min
utes of the last convocation read by the
secretary, Miss Blanche Fentress, of Will
mington. After transacting some routine
business the conyocation was adjourned
until the night session.
The features of the evening session were
the excellent address of welcome by Mrs.
F. A. Woodland, of Wilson, and the appro-
pirate response by Miss Blanche Fentress,
of Wilmington.
Rev A. P. Tyer preached the annual
sermon before the convocation The home
circle of Bright Jewels gave their exer-
cises on Sunday afternoon. Superintend-
ent Mangum, of the Sunday School, de-
serves much credit for these exercises.
On Sunday night the report of the cor
responding secretary Miss Freddie Swim
dell, of Goldsboro, showed that during the
past year the donations to the cause of
foreign missions have been increased ST.,
600 over the preceding year and more
than $4,000 over the collections of 1899,
During this year sufficient funds have
been collected to establish in Corea the
Lucy A. Cunningham Home and School
Mrs. Swindell reports the spirit of mis-
sions as being on the whole very bright,
and expects the accomplishments of this
year will be much greater than those Of
the one just passed.
Miss Page, of Aberdeen, then gave
an address on the need for more mission
aries. She comes to Wilson as the rep
resentative from the National Missionary
Conference which has been in ses-
sion at New Orleans. She made a
touching appeal for those who have gone
out from this conference to the foreign
fields and urged that their welfare be the
first consideration of this convocation.
The address of Mrs. ID. b. Adams, treas
urer of the conference, from -Four Oaks
on the advantages of Giving the Tenth"
was very enjoyable paper. She gave
the reasons for aiding foreign missions
and portrayed very beautifully the good
to be derived from such giving.
