think possibly the demands Of labor may
constitute a danger. II laborers continue
to increase the cost of construction, they
may hamper and delay building opera

spirit which is everywhere prevailing and
which is so splendidly welding together

is one of the effects of the fire which
cannot be commended too highly, it
seems to me. All Baltimoreans seem to
be joined as they never were before. and

COL. WILSON G. LAMB.
Prominent North CaroIinian With the
Daniel Miller Company.

Col Wilson G.. Lamb, Of Williamston,
Il member OF the State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee. and president of the So
ciety OF the Cincinnati in North Carolina.
is in Baltimore at present, his presence
heing required there by the large number
of North Carolina merchants who pay
their annual visit to the headquarters of
the Daniel Miller Company, who are rep
resented in this section of North Carolina
by Colonel Lamb.
Colonel Lamb is probably the best
known commercial traveller in this State
He takes an intense interest in matters
DoliticaL has the interest of his State and
people at heart and is one of the most
active workers in this State.
Colonel Lamb is not only popular at
home, but as Mr.. AL Hughes, who is per-
sonally in charge of the Daniel Miller
Company, puts it, Hes just got to meet
people to make friends"
Colonel Lamb will be unable to attend
the meeting of the Executive Committee
at its next meeting. He is one Of the
busiest men in Baltimore today. There
are more merchants from North Carolina
visiting that city than from any other
State. and of the North Carolinians who
go to Baltimore there are few indeed who
do no. go TO see Col. Lamb.

ATTRACTIVE TO CAPITAL.
Suggestion for its Encouragement to
90 to Baltimore.

That Baltimore presents very attrac-
tive field for investment by outside capi-
talists has been considered self evident
in view of the advertising the cisy is re-
ceiving and the activity which must CEN
ter here for some time. In the new Bal
timore that is to appear, says tie Manu-
facturers' Record, there will lie a read
justment of values, it is believed-a
breaking out of the hell, as 1t were, and
an advancement in business methods and
in volume of trade, together w'ih a
steadily and largely increasing popula-
ton.
In speaking of this phase of the situa-
tion to Mr.. ]. b. Ramsay. president OF
the National Mechanics Bank. TIE i'm
portance of making Baltimore's invitation
IN entirely cordial and friendly one was
brought out in Mr. Ramsey's response to
a suggestion by representative of the
Manufacturers Record. His suggestion

'Mr. Ramsey, we feel that much good
an be accomplished at this time by
ointing out the opportunities which exist
here for investments of outside capital"
'Well, there will be opportunities here.
no doubt, and very attractive ones" said
he, "if the mortgage tax law is repealed.
IT will be o great mistake not to remove
this tax, if We are to invite and expect
outside capital to come here"

NEW INDUSTRIES.
Result of the Fire Will be to Establish
New Concerns.

| That the present is q favorable time
for the location of new industries in Bal
timore is a fact that has impressed itself
on all who have given the matter any
thought. There will be an enormous
quantity of goods. wares and furniture
and axings required to refit the new
buildings and supply the materials needed
IN construction. With the demand thus
created good start would be made, and
the extension of business on permanent
lines might easily follow when the local
rush is over.
we all recognize these conditions.
said Mr.. E. Stanley Cary, president of
the Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation, and also number of the com
mittee on manufactures of the Board of
Trade. There are many lines Of manu-
factures which we think Baltimore should
have that are not represented in our list
of industries. Living expenses are less
here than in many of the large cities to
the north of us, we have better climate
than they, and there are many other ad-
vantages, such as cheap and easily access
ible fuel, unexcelled shipping facilities,

whose members have added lustre TO the
history OF the more southerly State.
When slavery dourished and the cotton
and tobacco States drew golden riches
from their broad plantations, the wealthy
planters made frequent trips to Balti-
more, sent their products TO its markets
and exchanged them for the manufactured
goods they found in its stores. Their
daughters were sent to the famous Patap-
SEQ Institute Mount de Sales, or Notre
Dame, to be prepared for their entrance
into society. and their sons studied med
icine. law Or dentistry at it's large col
lcges Many of this younger generation
remained here, and married into Mary
land Their sons and daughters form a
goodly portion of the best stock in this
great city. They and their sons and
daughters have achieved wealth and prom
inence i'm almost every line of endeavor.
After the war in which the flower of
Maryland fought under the Stars and
Bars and followed Lee to the end at Ap-
pomattox Baltimore, though herself trip
pied by the long and bloody conflict, op-
ened her doors to the sons of the pros
trate South They flocked to tho one
large CITY that received them with open
arms, and thousands Of them have since
made il their pleasant home. This has
given an even stronger trend to the
Southern sentiment of Baltimore than it
would otherwise have had. Though there
are some 10000 persons of northern birth
in tho CITY. the sentiment here is still
distinctly Southern. If a Southerner goes
to Boston he soon gets to rolling his
"r's." but Yankee coming TO Baltimore
has bie tongue softened and if he lives
here long. the burr on his pronunciation
wears off until you would take him for Il
native Of Dixie
North Carolinians are, next to Virgin
ians. the largest body of Southerners in
Baltimore. And they weld an influence
far beyond their numbers.

man and growing up in that bust
ness, and later learning the occult
arts in India, Alfred l. Thompson
has come back to Sioux City, Ia,
and found his mother, Mrs. 5. j.

Thompson's father and mother
qIarreled when he was three year
old. The father ran away, but h

went to Europe, drifted to India,
and spent two years in an lnstitu-

He married an Indian maiden
who came back to America bat af

Greensboro. Ga, Aug. l0.-A
peculiar story has developed ir
real life near Greensboro, or rath

years have passed and all the years
of happiness.
Thirty-two years ago, in this
county, B. T. McElroy and Miss
Tarpley were married, lived to0e'
Their four or five years and had
several children born to them,
During the sixth year of their
married life, McElroy decided to
>, travel in some of the western
states, and so he left his wife and
children in Greene county a d
started on his journey, intending
soon to return.
However, after getting out west
he remained longer than was anti
cipated and information that he
beloved to be thoroughly reliable
was brought him that his wife was
dead. She, not hearing from him
also considered that he was dead.
Eventually Mr. McElroy discon-
tinued his travels and settled in
Texas. and began preaching. Be-
lieving his wife dead, and about
ten years having elapsed, he mar
ried again and nov has living in
the state of Texas wife and elev

der the belief that her husband
WAS no longer in the land of the
living, married again, this time

ago, aud who was farmer in this
county until the time of his death
Two children blessed this union.
Now after lapse of % year
Mr. McElroy decides to visit the
scenes of his youth aud so came
back to Greensboro, which he had
left 80 many years before. The
state of affairs that confronts him
is a most peculiar one; his first
wife living here, her second hus-
band dead, his children whom he
had left when young now grown
to be men and women, the child

band also being grown, and as sta
