BEST IN AMERICA.

The Washington Star, which is the best
paying Afternoon paper in America, has
celebrated its fiftieth birthday by issuing
a beautiful anniversary number of ia
fac smile of the first issue, illustrated
section, industrial section, news and
editorial sections. In matter, style and
taste the edition is perfect-in keeping
with the Stars reputation for excellence.
1t covers it's field better than any paper
in America, and regularly goes into
hty-eight out of every one hundred
homes in the city of Washington. 1t is
conducted upon safe and conservatively
progressive lines. and is easily one of
the first newspapers in America.
The growth of the Star is an almost
perfect barometer of the expansion of the
city of Washington. When the first
number of the Star-an insignificant
four page paper-appeared on the 10th of
December in 1852 Washington bore no
more likeness to the Washington of today
than the little Star then bears to the
great Star of today. The growth OF
Washington has done much to help the
Star, and by the same token the Star
has done much to develop every legiti-
mate interest of Washington. 1t has been
one of the most potent factors in pro
noting every enterprise and improve
ment that have made Washington the
rridl, of the whole Rnnuhlic.

concerns ought to encourage others to
make like efforts.
Colonel Grimes also takes up the manu-
facture of fertilizer as one that ought to
be considered by farmers. 1t is a profit
able business, the cost of machinery is
not great, every well-managed fertilizer
company, small or large, has made money.
The establishment of factories in the
leading sections should be encouraged. 1t
is as Colonel Grimes says probably the
most inviting field for investment in our
State today" Much of the material is in
the hands of the farmers and they ought
to utilize it and save at home large sums
now paid to the giant companies for the
fertilizers they are compelled to USE
Col. Grimes gives some figures showing
the need of change in the ingredients in
fertilizers which he says would effect a
large saving to the farmers of the State
This meeting at Rocky Mount concerns
the people of the towns and cities in the
tobacco section almost as much as it does
the growers of the weed, and the indie
pendent buyers, dealers, warehousemen
and manufacturers, as we'll as the farm
ers should be present. Colonel Grimes
says with manifest truth that "tbey can
not afford to lose this opportunity to con-
suit together concerning these matters
that so vitality concern their welfare"

BILL ARP's PRAYER ANSWERED.

Some months ago, after examining The
North Carolina Confederate Records,
edited by Chief Justice-elect Walter
Clark, Bill Arp said he prayed that
Georgia might make similar provision for
the publication of its Confederate war
history His prayer has been answered.
Near the close of the last session of the
Georgia Legislature, Hon. Clark Howell,
Senator from Atlanta. introduced a bill
providing for the publication Of Georgia's
Colonial, Revolutionary and Confederate
records. The Governor has chosen cX-
Governor Allen ID. Gambler to compile
these records.
Good for Georgia. 1t is rapidly taking
it's place next to North Carolina among

The sentence Of Brown was commuted,
by Governor JeIks from death to life
