NORTH CAROLINA AT ST.LOUiS
This State Will be Creditabiy Repre-
sented by an Exhibit OF Her Pro-
ducts and Resources at the Worlds
Fair

This State VIII be CreditaDIy kepre.
sented by an Exhibit OF Her Pro-
ducts and Resources at the Worlds
Fair.
From the Washington correspond
ence of Charles Edward Lloyd we
take thefollowing extract concerning
North Cardinals proposed exhibit at
the st. Louis Worlds Fair next
year:
With commendable patriotism
Gov. Charles B. Aycock, of North
Carolina, is making an effort to have
that Commonwealth properly repre-
sented at the Worlds Fair. He has
sent Messrs. Hugh Chatham and +. b.
Arendell to visit the leading towns i'll
the State in the interest Of a great
North Carolina exhibit at st. Louis.
Mr.. Arendell has just reported to the
Governor that the prospects for
raising 100000 are good. A spe-
cial dispatch from High Point, a
large furniture manufacturing and
lumber town, says:
"The High Point people are mani
testify appreciative of the value OF a
great State exhibit at St. Louis, and
if it was feasible or fair to leave the
furniture or other hard wood feature
of it to them they would do it in
great shape They commend and
heartily endorse the Governors
efforts to have the State properly
represented and are ready with their
money and the products of their fac
tories to do their full duty, not only
from business, but from patriotic
motives
Wilmington, the metropolis OF
North Carolina, can show rice equal
to any in the world in quality. Tar,
pitch and turpentine, cotton and rice
are the leading exports from that III
teresting seaport. An exhibit could
be made by Wilmington both from a
commercial and historic standpoint
that would be we'll worth seeing. 1t
would also open the eyes of a great
many people as to the amount OF
shipping between that port and sew
eral European ports. The Colonial
| Mansion in which CORVALLIS lived
several months still stands on one
of the principal streets, and with its
stately Ionic columns would form Il
desirable model for a State building.
SO would the palace in which Cover
nor Tryon lived in New Bern, another
thriving town which will lido it's duty in
| contributing to the exhibit to be
made at st. Louis Charlotte, one OF
the most progressive cities in the
State, has recently invested $780,
100000 in cotton mills alone. She
| will not be laggard in contributing
! her share of the needed fund. Raj
eigh, the beautiful and historic CAPT
tai, has much to show of value and
interest. Plucky Durham can beat
any other town in the world of its
size with a tobacco exhibit. Asheville
ought to show Photographic views
of her matchless scenery. The Bit
more estate alone could make an III
teresting exhibit of what money and
nature combined can accomplish
| along the banks of the Swannanoa
| and the French Broad rivers. 'The
Land of the Sky" if properly repre-
scented at St. Louis, would show Wis
iting foreigners that in the isother-
| NAL belt of the Old North State, a
climate mild as that of Italy can be
found among mountains, valleys and
crystal streams equal to anything in
Switzerland for picturesque and ro-
| mantle beauty.

LIFE OF NATHANIEL MACON.

Prof. William E. Dodd, Phi. D., has
completed his Life OF Nathaniel Ma
con, a work upon which he has been
engaged for some years and for which
he is so we'll qualified. DR.. Dodd is
a native of this State, but now pro-
lessor OF history and economics IN
Randolph Macon College, Virginia.
"The Life of Macon" covers the
period of 1853 to 1887; it treats

er of the National House of Repres-
entatives, Macon and John Randolph,
the War of 1912; of Macon in the
United States Senate 1915 to 1923,
his opposition to Henry Clay, to
Andrew Jackson, the National Bank;
and finally of Macon's retirement
and universal popularity 1928 to
1887.
The book rests on a careful study
of the North Carolina State Records,
the Annals of Congress, the newspa-
pers of the day, and especially OF some
200 manuscript letters OF Macon
which have been placed at my dis
pOsal.
Macon was a remarkable man; he
welded an immense influence in State
and National politics for peroid OF
forty years. Yet his life has never
before been written.
The manuscript is ready for the
press and the book will appear about
the first OF October. 1t will be well
bound in cloth, on good paper, and

Are You Farming For Living or as
a Business?

DR.. Harry Wallace in WalIace's Farmer.
There are two classes of farmers.
one which farms because they do not
know how to do anything else and
because it is the easiest way for them
to make a living and get along some
how for the time being. The other
class farms not SO much for living
as business it is their chosen bust
ness. They do not think of getting
along somehow, but of getting aheah
accommodating, improving the farm,
increasing its fertility, all with the
object of making it Il better manu-
featuring plant and better business
proposition.
The man who farms as a business
adopts business methods as far as
they are applicable to farm opera
tions, keeps books, knows his income
and outgo, takes an inventory of
stock, has system in all his methods,
and knows approximately what every
crop each year has cost him in cash
or its equivalent in labor. We have
small hopes of the man who is simply
farming as a means of getting
through the world somehow

Looks Like he Could Sling a Scythe.

Raleigh Post.
Labor Commissioners II. B. Warner,
who as the arizona Kicker would
say, is also superintendent of public
printing and editor of the Lexington
Dispatch, has just returned from at
tendance upon the mountaineering of
the National Editorial Association.
While away he visited the great
northwestern states. That he had
good time goes without saying, but
what perplexes us is how such an
able-bOdied workingman as he is
managed to pass through the wheat
belt without being conscripted and
put to harvesting the crop. But he
did, so he declares, though to tell the
truth he is as brown as a nut and
looks as if he had been swinging the
scythe or something of the sort for
just about two weeks. If they did
catch him for a few ticks we will wager
he put i'll good ones. He always
does.

Edison's New Storage Battery.


Raleigh Post.
Thomas A. Edison is quoted as say
ing that his long-promised storage
battery has been in operation three
weeks. This new battery will average
more than third greater mileage
for half the weight than will the old
lead battery. But the new invention
cannot be put on the market in any
quantity as yet. The best that cal
be done now is to make one a day.
By October the output will be at least
six daily, and about Christmas any
demand will be met. The trouble
has been that special machines had
to be built, but the last of these will
be completed next week. Another
disadvantage Mr.. Edison alleges he
has to contend with is paying 40 per
cent. duty on certain sheet steel
that must beimported from England
or Germany, and then in only limited
quantities. By Christmas three roll
ing mills will be able to make it in
this country, and then the present
high price for the batteries will be
reduced. This battery will drive all
other methods of lOcomotion out of
business, and in less than ten years
the horrible odor of gasoline on the
public highways will be unknown.

ESTABLISHED 1881.
SARTO is POPE.

The conclave of cardinals assembled
in Rome to elect a successor to Leo
XIII. has done its work. Cardinal
Giuseppe Sarto, Patriarch OF Venice.
was elected Pope on Tuesday and
took the name OF Plus Y. Soon after
the result was made known the new
Pope appeared at a window OF st.
Peters and blessed the people, being
received with wild acclaim.
1t is stated in the dispatches that
the election OF Cardinal Sarto gives
satisfaction in Washington and prac-
tically every European capital. He
is the only cardinal who is on friend
ly terms with the King of Italy and
he is considered a liberal and mod
crate in his policy. 1t is believed
that there will now be q truce be-
tween the Papacy and the Italian
Government.

And we'd drive a little faster.
But we're fearful of disaster,
For the farmers want their mail on time,

And we think it such a pity
That the fellows from the city
Can't be forced to travel through this slop

But there's one thing sure as thunder.
They would have to don some plumber.
For they'd spoil that starched immaculate
Sunday dud
We are always out with letters
Bound we are with U. S. letters;
And we never get "a day we call our own,
But Wen gladly do our duty,
Finding some delight or beauty
Now then along our checkered pathway

SO each day were always going,
Never thinking, never knowing.

Some we leave in tears and sadness,
Some we leave in mirth and gladness:
Still were going. coming, leaving all the

this tube is infamed you have a rumblng

AN UNPLEASANT
EXPERIENCE,

Has ii ever been your unhappy lot to
be told by your physician that you
must go to a hospital and submit to an
operation? If so you remember with
what dread and shrinking you awaited
the day when you must endure the
knife.
The present day surgeon appears to
be possessed by a mania for operating
especially in cases Of hemorrhoids or
piles. and while the great number of
the profession do not recommend this
last resort unless they honestly be-
lieve it necessary. the fact remains
that much needless operating is done,
and the patient put TO much expense
and suffering for what?
To obtain a possible temporary re-
lief. these words are used advisedly,
because in nine cases out of ten the az
Fiction returns and the patient IS just
where he started from. Oftentimes he
could be cured much more simply ana
easily by the use of such a remedy az
the Pyramid Pile Cure: this has come
to be recognized as the best remedy on
the market for the painful disease
named. and the druggists now sell
more of it than all other pile remedies
combined
The writer personally knows people
who were afflicted with the worst form
of bleeding and protruding piles and
who were permanently cured by the use
of Pyramid Pile Cure. In every one OF
these cases the attending physician had
assured the sufferer that only by an
operation could he rid himself of the
disease; so much for the infallibility Of
the doctors.
This remedy which is sold by all
druggists al the low price Of fifty cents
is in suppository form. is applied di-
rectly to the parts affected. and per
forms its work quietly and Dainlessly.
The Pyramid Drug Co, Marshall.
Mich, will mail free to any address a
book telling all about piles and hem
orrhoids. their cause and cure.
A suggestion is offered that If the
reader is afflicted or knows anyone
who is, this book be sent for, as it will
be found inValua BILE.
