ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE
HOUSE.

To the Editor:
noticed somewhere recently
would no, say positively that 1t was In
your columns-an article on the White
House which contained several mis-
statements.
In the first place It was stated the
White House was first occupied In
1909 and that Its first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is. its
first occupant was President Adams.
who took up his residence there In
1900.
The original mansion was begun In
1899. In 1914 II was burned by the
British and rebuilt In 1918.
Another OF the errors In the article
referred to was the statement that
ready.prepared paint is used on tho
White House to make II beautifully
white.
! noticed this especially because !
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned" paint
should be used on such an important
building when all painters know that
pure white lead and linsecd oil make
tho b,,st paint.
II no happened also that ] knew
white lead aud linsecd oil-not ready
mixed paint-wcre used on the White
House. because had lust read n book.
let published by firm OF rcady.miscd
paint manufacturers who also manu-.
fncturc pure white lead. In that book
tho manufacturers admitted that for
tho White House nothing but the
best and purcSt Of paint could bc
used" and said that their pure white
lead had been selected.
Above aii people. those who attempt
TO write on historical subjects should
give us facts. even II II In only date
or n statement about wood. or brick.
or paint. or other building material.
Yours for truth.

NORFOLK & SOUTHERN.

President Frank s. Cannon of the
Norfolk e Southern Railroad. which is
at the head of the recent combination
of lumber railways in the eastern part
of North Carolina, is reported as say.
ing that the completion of the line from
Norfolk to New bern will be of great
benefit to those cities and the Inter-
veniug country. The plan necessltates
the construction of steel bridge five
aud one half miles long across Albe
marie sound, and the completion of
this structure Will do away with the
ferry service now in operation there
between Edepton and Mackey's Ferry.
The line, when finished, will enable resi-
dents of Newbern and north of that
place to make the trip to and from N or
folk in one day, besides spending sew
eral hours In that city.
The line to Newbern is to be com.
pleted by January l next, and the line
to Raleigh by May of next year.

Address of DR.. BOatwright on the
Virginia Country Boy.

Four tifths of the people in this state
live in the country, just as they did IL
the time of the Georges, said be. a
pnet or painter might wish for Vlr
ginia to remain Unchanged. Co-opera
tion is the keynote of progress. In The
problems of education many dlfficul
ties are apparent. The Virginia youth
longs to achieve; he forsakes the home
of his childhood for the busy marts ol
the city. We behold a growing m1gra'
tion of families to the city. l view
with apprehension this drift to the
CITY, and believe it can be checked by
efficient public schools in the country
l have no desire to disparage the city
child, but l must be permitted to EN-
phasize the transcendant value of the
country youth.
The Virginia country boy is worthy
of our admiration; his history is large.
ly the history of the country. The
wintry air of Virginia bred in the sOns
of cavaliers such hated of oppression
and tyranny that they quickly broke
the union of church and State. Not
only has the Virginia country boy raj,
lied to his country in every call OF
arms, but he has led in the paths of
peace.
Virginia is more democratic and
altruistic today than ever before. In
the ministry it is well known that the
large percentage of these men come
from the country as in the marts OF the
busy world. Give the country boys OF
Virginia the training given to the
German youth and we can stand first
among the arts of all mankind. We
mast recognize more fully that educa
tion is a great social problem, and re-
alize that all, rich and poor, white and
black, are in the same boat.
He then drew charming picture OF
the country boy at home, and said
such a boy generally enjoys the bene'
fit of a Christian home. From such a
home the child learns reverence for
spiritual things. Another element OF
our boy home should not be over
looked He has Inherited some OF his
fathers deep seriousness 1t appears
that our rural youth come OF sturdy
and homogeneous stock. This is our
splendid raw material for making men.
| Consider the sturdy son of any small
farmer you please. Fix your minds on
his past and then think of his future.
Oh, joyous country boy, unspoiled
| and good, what vantage ground you
| have Just one thing that mars the
picture A chain binds him to tt {
earth; this boy must be unfettere
through the portals of the school. fol
our country needs this boy and his
| brothers. The greatness of a natloT
lies in its greatest men, in those whit
can go from the lowest steps on The
ladder to the highest. The Virginia
country boy has every blessing except
adequate education, and it is the dut,
of all of us to give him in the cOuntr,
school the priceless boon.

DESTRUCTION Of
SAN FRANCISCO
At the Jamestown Exposition
st upendous Disaster to be Shown IN
Miniature.
Charles Frederick stansbury

[Charles Frederick Stansbury.
Norfolk, Va, May 23-The destruc
tion of San Francisco by earthquake
and fire is to be made the subject of
the most elaborate mechanical spec
tacle ever devised which is to be seen
next year at the jamestown Ter Cen
tennial, near Norfolk, on the borders
of Hampton Roads, Virginia. The
spectacle is to be on the lines of the
Johnstown J and Galveston Flood pro-
ductions. The New York man who
)ntrols large tract of space for amuse
ment concessions at the jamestown
Ter Centennial Exposition next year
said: ARTISTS and photographers are
already on their way to San Francisco
to get the material for reproducing the
disaster iu miniature, with fidelity of
every detail. 1t is probable that the
SD ectacle will he worked out under the
direction of E. J. Austin, the English
artist, who made successes OF the
Johastown flood at the Buffalo Exposi-
tion and the GALVESTON flood at the st.
Louis World s Fair, both of which are
now at Coney Island. From a show
man S standpoint the Frisco disaster
offers great possibilities, and we are
goirg to take advantage of them"
The destruction of the great Ameri-
can city with the miraculous escape of
the bulk of it's 400 900 inhabitants, out
classes in interest and dramatic effect
most of the great disasters in the his
tory of the world. The drama OF this
dreadful event as reproduced in mini.
ature at the jamestown Exposition
will bring it before the mind of the be-
holder with a vividness second only to
having seen the actual event. In fact
it will give far clearer idea OF the
frightful ruin of a great city in few
moments than could possibly have
been gained by being present in the
western city at the time of It's destruc-
tlon. This is true because it will be
seen in it's entirety, thing impossible
to one who was actually i'll the horror,
and it will be seen without the natural
fright and unnatural discomfort which
accompanied the witnessing OF the ac-
tual event.
To the visitor of the jamestown Ex
position the drama of ruin will set forth
with all the romantic interest that at
taches to the history of the last days
of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

DON'T MISTAKE THE CAUSE OF YOUR

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from a lame, weak
or aching back they think that it is
only muscular weakness; when uri-
nary trouble sets in they think it will
soon correct itself. And so it is with
all the other systems of kidney disor
ders. That is just where the danger
lies. You must cure these troubles or
they lead to diabetes or Bright's dis
ease The best remedy to use is DOan g
Kidney Pills. 1t cures all ills which
are caused by weak or diseased kid
