an HUNRDED THOUSAND NORTH
CAROLINIANS

The North Carolina Reunion at Green's
boro on the 18th and 18th Of October
will be notable, not only because thous-
ands of North Carolinians living in 9TH
e. States Will return to attend the re-
union, but because thousands of people
living IN this State Will 60 to Green's
bCro on that occasion. Letters already
received Indicate that very many North
Carolinians residing elsewhere viii come.
Let an hundred thousand home folks be
there to greet them and welcome them
back to the old home. If only a few
hundred should come from outside the
State, the coming together of our own
people with the purpose of inaugurating
a movement for keeping in touch with
whatever forces we send into the national
life of this country, and with the pur-
pose of building up a greater North
Carolina at home, would fully justify the
efforts made by Greensboro and the PEG
pie of the State.

THE aJAKERS ARE COMING,

A letter received yesterday from Green's
boro states that information has Just
been received that an excursion from
Indianapolis under the management of
Mr.. Elwood Wilson, will reach Greensboro
on the tenth of October. It is fitting that
the Reunion, for North Carolina furnished
Il large portion of the best population Ct
the Hoosier State. In some sections ot
Indiana almost the whole population Is
composed of Quakers or their descendants
who went from North Carolina, between
1910 and 1860. Most of them went from
Guilford and Randolph counties, and they
viii be returning to their old home when
they attend the Reunion at Greensboro.
So many of them have indicated their
purpose to attend that nearly all the
North Carolina Friends will be there to
give welcome to their brethren. This
Will give the Reunion to them the social
side of a Yearly Meeting.
North Carolina will be glad to welcome
back home representatives of its sterling
old Quaker stock. The State has had and
has no truer sons than members of tie
Society of Friends-those who remain with
US and those who have made homes in
other States. This has been true since
the first settlement of Quakers in Per
quimans county, in the early history.

GEN. RANSOM TO PRESIDE.

The people of North ~CaroGna-those
other States who will attend the Re-un-
ion, rejoiced when it was announced a
few days ago that Hon. Matthew Whit
aker Ransom had accepted the invitation
OF the committee to act as master of cere-
monies at the North Carolina Reunion
at Greensboro on the 18th and 18th of
October.
He is the man of all living North
Carolinians to welcome back home those
natives of the State residing elsewhere
who Will attend the Reunion. For near
~ a quarter OF a century, as United
States Senator, he not only represented
his constituents, but also represented par
ticularly North Carolinians in every por-
ton of the Republic. During his long ser
vice in the senate he had occasion to
serve thousands Of North Carohnians in
other States and won their gratitude by
his abiding interest in fellow tar heels
at home and abroad.
For half a century, IN peace and in
war, General Ransom has been a leading
spirit in North Carolina. Devoted in his
love for his native State, he has always
responded to every call upon his patriot
ism. Eloquent beyond any North Caro-
linian now living, he will voice the love
the Old State bears to every son whose
life has been spent in other surroundings,
and make every returning North Caro-
linian proud Of his State that produces
a statesman of the type of Matthew Whit
aker Ransom.

BY d. C. Waddel1.
The cool Dawn, in silent softness, is slowly drifting,
Drifting toward the coming day
The old peaks, in distant dimness, r s1umbering,
Slum boring, where the white mists lay.
Soft and low, the night winds blow
The heart of the night is signing
Her pride of stars, and silver bars
Over the skies are dying.
The red East, in crimson richness is widely lifting
Lifting, the archwayo of the day
Towering, where the white mists lay.
Fresh and sweet, on dewey feet
The winds of morn r playing
They ripple the mist, and listing, list
Over the earth are straying.
The sun Light, in radiant brightness, is swiftly sitting
Sitting, the yellow beams of day
The old peaks, in opal splendors r glitte1ing
GIittering, where the white mists lay.
Far and wide, on every side
The white mist is swaying
Across the spray, as it circles away
The rainhows ar playing.
Far away in the light Of day
The snowy mist is twining
In the valleys below, where wild ferns grow
The sun is brightly shining.

in one step from the right line of trav-

it does not mean that there is one
