NORTH CAROLINA TOBACCO AT
: ST. LOUIS.

The plan foot to have at the st.
Louis Exposition tobacco exhibit from
North Carolina that will be in keeping
with the primacy of the State in the to-
bacco business, is one which should invoke
the State pride of all North Carolinians.
North Carolina grows more tobacco,
counted by the dollars paid for it, than
any State in the Union. Measured by the
same test-the dollar standard-it manu-
facturers more tobacco than any other
State. We grow the finest and highest
priced tobacco. and we manufacture il
into the best and highest priced manu-
featured product.
The plan, conceived by the progressive
Tobacco Association of the prosperous city
Of Winston Salem is to show this great
industry at the St. Louis Exposition on a
scale COMMENSURATE with the magnitude
Of the industry, and to let the world see
the tobacco in every process from the IN
wormed plant to the cigarette, smoker,
plug, chero0t and SNUFF. 1t would be an
exhibit as novel and attractive as it would
be illustrative of the great industry.
In order to enlist the hearty co-opera-
lion OF al the tobacco growers and deal
ers and manufacturers in the State a
convention has been called to meet in
Raleigh, July 9Th. Mr.. Garland E. Webb,
editor of the Southern Tobacco Journal
has been made chairman of the provision
al committee, and is actively at work in
this patriotic undertaking Speaking Of
the coming convention Mr. Webb says:
Il was authorized by the committee to
proceed at once with the selection of dele
gates from every tobacco county in the
State, these delegates to consist of ware
housemen, leaf dealers, manufacturers and
leading farmers. With as much care as
possible, and with the assistance of leading
men in each county, large number of
delegates have been selected and notified
of the meeting to be held on July 9th, and
urged TO attend.
While it is hoped that every man who
has been selected will attend, it is not the
idea Of the committee to exclude other TO
bacco men, who might desire to be pres
ent. Every man who is interested in the
tobacco business, manufacturer, dealer, or
producer. who takes an interest in the
welfare Of his State, and who desires to
see an exhibit at st. Louis of which every
North Carolinian win feel proud. is in
vited to be present at this meeting
The principal object of this meeting is
to extend a most cordial and earnest invi-
tation to the growers handlers and manu-
facturers of tobacco in this State to par
ticipate in this greatest of all Worlds
Fair, and to join in the presentation of
the most comprehensive exhibit of tobacco
and all that pertains thereto, which the
world has ever seem
The past year has been the best year
for tobacco men in ten years, and the
time for this undertaking is suspicious.
1t is to be hoped that every tobacco sec
ton of the State will be represented in
the convention to be held in Raleigh on
July 9th. and that the tobacco men may
take such progressive steps as to stimu-
late every other interest to emulation.
North Carolina must put its best foot
foremost at st. Louis.

Among tIleoRaiIroads.


when there is a wreck said an old
railroad man, Everybody knows it, and
passengers who are not hurt draw deep
breaths and think of their wonderful es-
capes, but there are sometimes remarka-
bic escapes which the passengers never
know about and which, perhaps, do not
even get into the records of the railroads
themselves. One day not a great while
ago, was carrying a long passenger train
full of people at full speed, when sudden
ly the engine of heavy freight doomed
up right in front of us Fortunately, and
for wonder, the two train crews saw
each other soon enough to slow down with
their engines noses together instead of
smashing into each other ana causing pers
haps half score of deaths The passen-
gers themselves knew nothing of the
danger that they had passed and only
wondered why their train began to run
backward for two or three miles to a
side-track. Whose fault was it? Oh, well.
there's no use discussing SUI. things. But
the passengers never knew. Often their
seemingly most secure moments are the
most dangerous"

The action of the Raleigh District Con

IN the News and Observer, not only pleased
all the Methodists in the State, but graft
fed as well all friends of education. The
conference unanimously resolved that it
was the duty of the one hundred and tifty
thousand Methodsts in the State to save
the Oldest college established by the
church and they set influences in motion
to continue the college, if the owners will
sell to the church at the same price at
which they offered it to the trustees of
