Prof Aven Nelson of the Uni.

Work on the buildings is being
rushed and all will be ready in

ample space in the agricultural.
mining and manufacturing and
high arts departments, and each
will be labeled with the county
name in large letters. ANY coun-

be made conspicuous by its alb

the splendid advertising resulting
from the displays, but the neglect
will act as a severe knock on the
tardy section.
No less than seven of the thir-

and the others had better wake
up or they will be too late.
The amusement end of the big

The ladies' relay race is attracting
widespread attention and will be
an event worth going many miles

event aggregate more than $500

been a big one
The railroads have granted one
fare for the round trip. and even
this big concession may be bet
tered before many days. Two
companies have already consented
to haul exhibits free of charge,

they fly around about as far AS
they can get: even a self-respect-

We set out from Rawlins with
a dozen quarts on ice. and. like
fools, gave three of them away
before we got far. We needed
them later. Say don't you know
how many sage chickens We saw
on that trip? Six! just six, and
four of them were carrying lunch

pleasure to pop them over and

CANADA'S METROPOLIS.
Montreal, A City of Splendid Church.
es-What Our Correspondent
Saw and Heard

At last our eyes gaze in rapture
upon Mentreal the fair and thriving
metropolis of Canada, with three hun-
dred thousand people, and our hearts
beat with an increased acceleratlon,
as we study her works of art and
decipher the story of achievements Of
her heroes as they are related
and wrought out on sculptured mar
bic and lasting brass. 1t is, as it
were, panorama Of history, replete
with "reminiscences, and OF daring ex-
ploits of pioneer and colonist. There
is an air of the antique though evil
dences abound of modern progress
and civilization. Somehow / love the
things and scenes that take me back
mentally to the hoary past. and my
soul is lifted up when I can look
upon the paintings Of a Michael
Angelo or Murello, or can trace
the symmetry of form or likeness,
in sculptured marble of Praxiteles.
It takes the humdrum out OF lite
and prepares me for communion with
kindred spirits, who revere the past.
These scenes are insplratlonal. as they
tell us of patient toll and endurance
of artist and painter and pioneer. 1t
must have been a feeling akin to
this that animated Our own lamented
Henry Timrod to strike his lutte in
that exquisite gem Of poesy:
IF thou hast sighted one old
thought,
Beware lest grief enforce the
truth at last;
The time must come wherein thou
shalt be Taught
The value and beauty Of the past.
Not merely as warner and guide
A voice behind thee, sounding to
| CHC SLlllC,
But something faever to be put aside
A part and parcel of thy present
life"

AFTER HIGHER INSURANCE..
And Also to Keep The Agents on Fiji
teen Per Cent Basis.

meeting of the local board of in
Surance men was held here yesterday
and at it the discussion was concern
ing recent State Legislature which
allows agents to accept more than
the Is per cent prescribed by the
Southeastern Tariff Association.
Local meetings have been held over
the State at various points and these
meetings of agents are pronounced
against the law, which favors the
Greensboro companies, these allowing
higher commission. 1t is understood
that a State meeting of agents will
soon be held in Goldsboro which will
try to get the agents to agree to the
Southeastern Tariff Association rate of
but Is per cent.
In this connection it is understood
that there is also a movement on foot
to increase the rates on fire insurance
in Raleigh rs per cent but that this
has not yet succeeded, as the Green's
boro companies and one other have
not yet signed an agreement for this
increase.
