knows practically no limitation; the
superior merits and the permanent
success of the great musical organizes
ton have been securely established in
the musical world for a number of
years, while the universal and un.
qualified praise bestowed npon it DUR
ing lis initial tour of the Usited

been unanimously endorsed With UNI
mistakabls enthusiasm upon each
succeeding visit.

North Carolina and St. Louis

We are III hopes that Bro. Lon
don of the Chatham Record. who
is also one of our good, working
state Senators, will not get too
many holes punched in his bill tor
he appropriation Of 100000 to
have North Carolina represented
in the Louisiana Purchase Exposi
ton at St. Louis. Mo-, in 1904.
The State of North Carolina is not
doing one tenth he amount ofad-
vertising it should do, and it does
seem that it is an awful hard mat
ter to make some people see the
value ofjudicious advertising.
II we had all our territory occu-
pied and all the manufacturing
plants necessary TO give to those
who wished employment some
thing to do, we might sit down
and be contented; but such is not
the case, and if we keep pace with
other States, we have got to adver,
and do it in the proper manner.
By all means pass the law Civ
ing US the appropriation and put
men in charge OF the matter who
understand how to spend it.

is concerned, but a new one in Spirit.
The old has done its work when pat
riotic fervor was heated by the fire of
contention, but that is thing of the

pose of this grand old State, our

glowing, stirring substitute for the
words of the original war song now
buried in the deep grave of nearly
