The North Carolina exhibit at the
food fair recently held in Boston at
tracted a great deal of attention.
From those who examined it have
come nothing but words of common
dation and admiration, many OF
them accompanied by expressions Of
surprise that such things could come
out of this state. Many persons at
tending the fair made a point OF
thorough investigation OF the dis
play and still others went to the
fair for the sole purpose OF seeing it.
There were hundreds who, after see
ing what our state had on exhibition
as examples OF the possibilities OF
farming and trucking and mining,
applied to Messrs. Bruner and Brim-
ley for the fullest information on the
subjects represented i'll the display.
What they saw and learned was
revelation to them. This display
before the New England people of
what the progressive agriculturists
and miners of our state are doing
has done more to advertise her re-
sources in these lines and to attract
attention to her as a home for i'm
migrants than anything that has
been done by our people.
As an evidence OF the success of the
exhibit both as to its character and
the good results likely to flow from
1t, we give here extracts from let
ter written by prominent citizen OF
Boston to parties in this city. This
gentlemen visited the fair for the ex-
press purpose OF examining the North
Carolina exhibit. After such exami-
nation and conversation with Messrs.
Bruner and Brimlev. he wrote in part
as follows:
The exhibit is certainly the finest
single exhibit in the whole building,
and is very attractive and instruct
i've. The exhibit is in a large room
on the second floor.
If last night was a fair example,
immense crowds are visiting the fair,
and there is no doubt that a great
many people visit the North Caro-
lima exhibit. | Talked with Mr..
Bruuer and Mr.. Brimley, and they
appeared well satisfied with the re
suits. They say that people come
to them who have come to the fair
with q particular intention of seeing
these exhibits and that many of
these people talk to them and ap-
pear to be seeking definite infor-
nation. They sayfurther that every
day there are some who are so
favorably impressed they express
the opinion that they are likely to
go to North Carolina.
The exhibit is beautifully and
effectively arranged, showing pro-
| ducts of North Carolina both mine
raj and vegetable in a way which l
feel sure will take a good many peo-
pie in this part of the country by
surprise. 1t is very easy from the ex-
hibit to appreciate the great variety
Of products and also to easily make

for gardening and which part for

Since 1900 there has been a steady
flow of negro voters from South to
North, and the probability is that
the number in each of the States
named has considerably increased
in six years. With the white vote
anything like evenly divided in any
OF these States, it is plain to see that
the negro voters would hold the bal
ance of power. No wonder the Re-
publican party is careful how it of
tends these faithful allies" The
pretty part of it is that negro en-
reimbursement is now bothering the
North far more than it is bothering
the South. The chickens have gone
home to roost, and they are roost-
ing high.

The Prophet is without honor in his

Parking for fhe Town.

The town parks, or the town or

citizens.
If the town is growing, it is none too
soon to start a movement to provide
for the securing Of ample town park
ing. The land is increasing; when the
town has doubled and has become a
small city, it will not be so easy to
secure sites, readily accessible to the
people, without paying an eXOrbtant
price. Secure first the land; it is not
important that a large amount Of
money should be at once expended
upon its Identification, possibly it
needs but little. since nature may have

Distribution OF Immigrants the

If there were only some practicable
way Of distributing immigration more

country the congestion and segra-
cation phases Of this problem would b.

plished in but a small degree, since 1t
will only be done if answering an
economic demand, as in the case Of
the Galveston-Bremen service. Wise
and well organized effort to induce
Immigrants to pass through the large
ports by finding and insuring them
employment in the interior and by in-
forming them of opportunities else
where, will do much to improve con-
ditions. The self-nterest of states.

solutions Of many of the problems o.
modern city life ever attempted in this
country. 1t is in line with the bes
enterprises for solving the questions OF
housing, sanitation, education anC
morals. AS such it should command
the attention and cooperation If al
constructive social workers.
The Homecrofters Gid offers garder
work and craftsmanship as a substi
tute for the street corner, the cheap
show and the saloon. And 1t offers IN
addition health, contentment and a
substantial increase in income to the
workers. The increase takes a practi
cal form in the shape Of health from
work in the air, from fresh vegetables
and fruits, from clean environment
and from absence Of bad habits; from
money saved from useless pastimes;
from absence of doctors bills and from
a direct return in the way of COM
modities for use In the home or for
sale.
The founder and main supporter Of
the movement Is Mr.. George III. Max
well. editor of Maxwelrs Talisman and
founder of the National Irrigation
Movement. AS a student Of social con-
ditiOns, Mr.. Maxwell has concluded
that college settlements and similar
movements merely scratch the upper
surface Of the problem and fail utterly
to get under it and crowd 1t out with
better condition. His creed Is,
Every child in a garden, every mother
in a homecroft, and individual. in
dustrlal independence for every worker
in a home of his own on the land
MEANING OF HOMECROFT.
The word "Homecroft" has been
coined by Mr.. Maxwell to fit the thing
he has in mind. The Scotch word
croft means a very small piece of
land farmed intensively by its Occu-
pant but not large enough to yield him
a living and constitute him a farmer.
The Homecrofter, therefore, under the
conditions being developed, is a labor
ing man, clerk, skilled artisan or what
not, who supplements his regular in
come by, and spends his spare time in,
work on the land. His children may
likewise be employed out of school
hours and at other times when they
would otherwise be on the street or
forced into some one of the street
trades to help maintain the home. For
the children the advantages are OBJ
vious. Healthy exercise in the open
air for purpose, fresh vegetables and
other products, and occupation, are
substituted for spasmodic exercise
under bad conditions, stale vegetables
or none at all, and the gang.
1t can be demonstrated that the
ordinary factory worker on from one
half acre to an acre of land can earn
actually more in the odd time given
to his garden than he does from his
regular work, taking it hour for hour.
The other advantages are evident.

tenths per thousand in BOurnville.
The garden features in BOurnville are
planned with much care, provision in
most cases being made for some lawn,
flowers. vegetables and fruits.
To return to the HOmecrOfters Gid,
there is one distinctive advantage in
Mr.. Maxwells plan, in that he aims
to attach to each home emo = land to
make it a feature and not merely an
incident in the life of the worker, and
he has added the crafts work for wo-
men and for men i'm the winter. He

ment all the advantages of the ci +

the cultivation of each separate acre

cooperative ownership of the numer-
ous expensive pieces of farm ma

large farms, but which could not be
afforded by the individual crofter.

the sucker returned in about month
with another capitalist from the North
