OF the world.
tThe following timely review Of
events by the Houston Chronicle
shSws an Intimate acquaintance by
the writer with the affairs and con.
ditions Of the day, and an optimis.
tic view ofthe developments Of the
near future in America:
"There Is no doubt that we in
"a rherica live in the country of the
greatest produciiveness of the
world. We make enough food
and clothes aud things OF every
sort TO satisfy not only our own
needs, but the needs of large part
OF Europe. Our problem Is in
gross, not a problem of lack, but a
problem OF plenty. Where we fall
short is in the distribution of what
We have, not an easy problem, but
an easier problem than the prob.
lem OF those who have not, under
which so many nations Of the
world have groanei.
In fact, We have perfected the
machinery OF production and Of
commerce 10 such an extent that
the largeness Of the output has
proved our greatest difficulty.
IhIsis not because II is large, but
because II tends 10 become concen.
trated in q few hands. The cap.
tains of industry, from their posi-.
tons In the vanguard, take the
greater portion Of the spoil, while
the soldiers Of industry, who march
In the rear, although they form
the line Of battle, do not get their
equitable share in the distribution
OF the stuff.
All this will be changed. We
are living in an age of transition.
Just as in America the problem of
politics has been solved, 80 that in
government each man has an equal
voice and before the law every
man Is equal, so in industry, in
time. the laborer will get his full
hire aud the worker will get his
wages in fair proportion 10 what
he produces. Profits will in time
come 10 be regarded not as pelfI
and piratical plumber, but a. the
due Of the real producer.
When this problem is solved.
and he solution is near at hand.
as We have just propounded it 10
ourselves, and Americans accom-.
plish what they propose to accom-
plish, progress along intellectual
ard spiriinal lines will advance by
leaps and bounds What Amer.
leans have accomplished already

Senator FIN. Simmons on
Nations Part in Celebration

Mr.. President and Gentlemen: There
are many unmistakable signs that the
DAYS of Rip Van Wrinkle in North Caro-
lima have passed and gone forever. We
are fast becoming, and in a few years
will have become. the first manufacture
ing State in the South. The eye is dim
which does not see the dawning of a
day, still in the future, but, as time
runs, not in the far distant future, when
our State will take its place in the
ranks of the great industrial communi-
ties, not only of the United States, but
of the world.
This wonderful transformation has not
been wrought by new blood. 1t is the
work of men in whose veins flows the
blood of the first settlers. the pioneers
of the wilderness, the blood of the heroes
of Mecklenburg, of Alamance, of Moore S
Creek, of Guilford Courthouse, and of
Kings Mountain.
Chief among the influences which have
quickened into life the long dormant
energies of our people is the teacher.
Not alone the teacher who has his
habitat in the school room, but the
teacher teaching from the pulpit
through the printing press, in farmers

teaches us to know things, but to think
out and to do things.
The influences which have combined to
arouse our people to a realization of the
value of the present and of the potential

their eyes and understanding to the
significance and the glory of our past
A great nation will not live in it's past
but it will reverence it and seek to per
petuate in enduring form whatever is
great, inspiring and good in it. There
is no more encouraging sign in North
Carolina today than the wide spread and
rapidly growing interest in the great
historical events and incidents of our
early history, the achievements and
heroic deeds of our ancestors, and the
lives of our great men. 1t is history,
which in heroic deed and achievement,
does not suffer by comparison with that
of any State in the Union. but it is a
history little known, either at home or
abroad and which it is our imperative
duty to reclaim from the mist of time
and set clearly before the world.
The story of Roanoke Island, of Neck
lenburg, of Alamance, of Moore's Creek,
of Guilford Court House, and of King IS
Mountain should be as familiar to every
man. woman and child in the State as
is the story of Lexington, of Bunker
Hill, and Yorktown. The spots where
these great and stirring events took place
should become the property of the State,
should be made attractive by parks.

become so many Meccas of annual pill

called for the colonists. At daybreak
they landed, but found no trace of the
colonv. They found the fort, the lines
of which remain" and the place very
strongly enclosed with a high palsado
of great trees with curtains and flank
orc very fort-like, and one of the chief
trees or posts at the right side of the
entrance had the bark taken off, and five
feet from the ground in fair capital
letters, was craven CROATAN, without
any cross or sign of distress; this done,
we entered into the palisade where we
found many bars of iron, two pigs of
lead, four iron-fowlers, iron locker shot
and such like heavy things thrown here
and there, almost overgrown with grass
and weeds" This was the last trace
of the lost colony of Sir Walter Raj

These are some of the events which
make Roanoke Island centre of his
toric interest and which we desire to
fifty celebrate.
That the light of civilization kindled
here failed and that the repeated efforts
to plant the colony ended in disaster,
counts, for nothing The history of the
Anglo-Saxon is full of failure. but each
failure has marked surer and firmer
advance. It illustrates the tough fibre
ana the splendid tenacity of the race
Here was the first feeble effort to possess
and colonize by Englishmen the New
world, and which in the long result of
time was to bring forth the great galaxy

speech of Mr.. H. S. Ward, of Plymouth
He was presented by Mr.. B. G.. Crisp

Mr.. Wards speech was a gem and il is

Chicoga, Nov. 22.-There was fair
trade in wheat today and the market
was strong. December closing 34a7sc

closed 17sc lower; oats sake higher;
January provisions closed nc to 15c
higher.
Wheat ruled strong after an easier open
ing. due 10 weak cables, liberal receipts
and favorable weather for the movement.
The chief supporting influences were
| buying by the northwest and a good ex-
| port demand. Local traders were unable
TO determine the attitude OF the leading
longs, and in consequence many of them
kept out of the market. Selling at the
opening caused a light decline, but buy
ing which was credited to a big long,
started an upward movement and the
market was strong throughout the day,
especially May, which closed sc higher
at 761ac. December opened sc lower at
745sc, sold down to 7A4c, but rallied to
75lsc. December opened &c SHRz4 loves
755sc and closed 1zQ9sc hlgAer at 75Qlsc.
Clearances OF wheat and flour were equal
to $4,000 bushels. Primary receipts We're
l,2S5.SOO bushels, against 100000 bushels a
year ago Minneapolis and -Juluth re-
ported receipts of 9s6 cars, which with
local receipts Of Y cars, nine of contract
grade, made total receipts for the three
points Of 30 cars. against S67 cars last
week and 937 cars a year ago.
There was a fair trade in corn but
prices dropped under mEuence Of in
creased receipts, better weather, lower
cables and weakness of the cash article.
December and January were offered
with especial liberahty and in turn affect
ed May. The decline brought out num-
erous stop-loss orders. What demand

ceipts We're $50 cars. December ranged
between 5s12c and SO and closed &c
down at 55hc
The oat market, while quiet, was steady
and elevator interests bought December
and traders sold it against purchases of
May at l and 11ac difference On the rise
in May there was considerable selling of
that delivery. Receipts were 1S3 cars De
cember closed at SO34q31c and May at
