erature and history; the encourage
ment of public and school libraries;
the establishment of an historical
museum; the inculcation of literary
spirit among the people; the correction
of printed Misrepresentation concern
ing North Carolina, and the engender-
ing of an intelligent, healthy State
pride in the rising generation.
Any white resident of the State, or
North Carolinian residing out of the
State, who subscribes to the purposes
of the association, is eligible to MEM
bership and may be elected by the as
sociation or by the executive commit
tee when the association is not in ses-
sion upon the recommendation of the
Committee on Membership. The mi
tiation fee and the annual dues Of
each member is one dollar.
Each year the association under
takes a certain definite, and special
work, so that the organization may
be more than worthy of its existence.
This year it will endeaVor to have
placed in the Statuary Hall in the Ma
tional Capitol a statue of Zebulon b.
Vance. Each State is permitted to
place two statutes in this hall, but
North Carolina has as yet not taken
advantage of this opportunity to hon
or her WorthieSt sons. The Walter
Raleigh monument fund matter will
also be discussed at the coming meet
ing of the association.

SECURE A CHARTER

Rates Being Discussed.

Mr.. Norman H. Johnson, Attorney
General of the North Carolina Re-
tail Merchants Association, has re-
turned from Asheville where he held
a conference with the executive Of
ficers of the association relative to
chartering the organization. char
ter is now being prepared TO incor-
porate the State Association, and this
will be effected within the next ten
days. After the charter is obtained
the State association will issue char
ters to the local associations already
organized as we'll as those to be or
ganized in the future. Mr.. johnson
stated that a universal collection sys-
tenn will be in operation by November
first, which will enable the local as
sociations to handle delinquent GUS
toners, who drift from town to town.
to a better advantage, and that this
information will not only be furnish
ed the members of the association
within the State but delinquent Gus
toners moving without the State will
be reported to the various secretaries
in the United States
Being asked what matters of inter-
est were before the Association, Mr..
Johnson said:
'This is organization year in the
association All the energies of the
officers are being applied to increas-
ing the membership In order that
they may better handle the question
to be submitted to the next legisla-
ture There is considerable discus
sion among the members of establish
ing a mutual fire and life insurance
company, and from the facts gather
ed from the western States where
such companies have been operated
with great success it is more than
nrobable that this matter will receive
serious attention by the members or
the association. The question or
freight rates is receiving its full share
of attention as we'll as other matters
of equal importance. Several of the
local associations are advertising the
advantages of their city as shop
ping centre and by the rebate SyS-
tenn are attracting much trade. Many
of the local associations have been IN
strumental in having their towns re-
rated by the South Eastern TarlH AS
sociation, and have by this method
saved much money by reduction on
the premiums of their poHcy.
"The total membership is now D.
O91. and it is safe to predict that
the membership will be double dur
ing the remaining three fOurths of the
fiscal year of the association.
Mr.. Johnson said that nearly eV-
cry local association IN tne Sldle nd"
reported a great gain in membership
for the first quarter of the ilscal year
Four new local associations nave peeil
perfected, and applications for addi-
tional associations have been re-
ceived from fourteen towns asking
that the State Association send the
organizer to perfect local associations
at these places. Mr.. Johnson VIII
leave the city early in October and
perfect local associations in those
towns which have petuoned MN 70
deliver addresses in their cities. He
said that when the canvass is COM
nleted there will not remain six towns
in the State without local mer-
chants association.

Brain work and worry take strength

and cause all sorts of trouble which
will become chronic if continued.

lows that the dairy industry is one

pubic Schools Progressing.

Prof K. B. Teitrick, who has been
visiting the schools in Punxsutawney
and vicinity during the greater part of
the past two weeks, completed his
annual inspection in the southern part
OF the county yesterday. The County
Superintendent reports gratifying pro-
gress in the schools, as a rule, all over
the county, the percentage Of unsuccess-
full teachers never having been so low
as during the present term. The good
results of the system of grading the
country schools and issuing diplomas to
pupils who reach a certain standard,
which was established about five years
ago, is now beginning to show in the
spring examinations for common school
diplomas. Recently examinations were
held in Brookville, Falls Creek and
Punxsutawney at which 2l9 applicants
were examined 90 of whom were sue
cessful in securing common school di-
plomas. These pupils represent only
the country schools and are exclusive of
those who graduated from the city and
town schools. The system of requiring
the teachers to leave a report of the
years work at the end of each term and
of outlining the work which should be
done the following term, which was
adopted about the same time, is also
proving of inestimable value to the
teachers. The report includes person
al and school record of each pupil.
During the year the county lost two
excellent teachers, namely, Miss Ruth
Sprague, of Brookville, and Prof, F. T.
Mcclure, of Reynoldsville, who accept
ed position in the Allegheny High
Schools at $1,000 per term. m.-Punxsu-

to make you envious of the fellow who
owns the whole hill full of the stuff.
That day at Golconda, wherever we
turned it was to see some one Juggling
up stone half as big as his head, to
get it pounded up and washed out, for
the sake of seeing the little streak of
glistening yellow in the bottom of the
pan
OThe gold at Golconda is found in what
the mill men call gangue tf siicate of
magnesia and quartz. But not many
were concerned about that part. Most
of the strangers merely wanted
glimpse of a chunk of what looked like
big pebble, and half the party were
fortunate enough to find a piece of the
stuff with the shiny PARTICLES of gold
sticking out of the surface,
1t is apparent that the Candor gold
district will be profitable to those who
have possession of land in the neighbor.
hood. o. M. Allen, the president of
the Golconda Company, says the ore
that is located is enough to run the mill
longer than any OF the present owners
will be interested in mining The
yield varies from $5 up to $50 or more to
the ton, and as the gold is all easily ex-
tracted from the rock, everybody con
nected with the workings seems to be
happy.
North Carolina is an ideal place for
gold mine or anything else. The eli
mate is right for working out of doors
all the year, and supplies Of all kinds
are to be had so abundantly that labor
is cheap. Think of having eggs for ten
cents the dozen to feed your miners on,
and sweet potatoes at twenty-five cents
a bushel. That is about the next thing
to a gold mine itself, except to the fell
low who sells Twenty cents day is
what mine worker told me he paid for
board at the lola mine.
a few years ago ore that paid less
than Sl5 ton was Improbable but
with the new methods of treatment
such rock as is found at Golconda--free
milling and simple of treatment-can be
worked proftably If it carries a third
that much gold.
Geologically this state is interesting
Its range of mineral production is great
err than that of any other state in the

what the native. Tar Heel will go down

sack and dig up something to beat it,.
Gold, silver, precious stones, clays and
everything-even to a variety of sand
stone that he can beud--he will show
you. Unfortunately, the quantity of
most of the products is not sufficient TO
make the yield profitable But who
knows what may be found some day un-
der the strenuous search of the modern
| seeker?
