a REMARKABLE coREAE SWORD.

''The armor OF a Corean gentleman OF the six
feenth century was indeed wonderful" says Burton
Holmes the globe trotter. 1T was while dining at
the house OF 3 prominent Official at Seoul that
heard the following story relative TO its merits:
After dinner my host led the way a large
room, which filed with ancient arnor of Corea
and China. Pixies swords and cutlasses OF every
description were there many pieces OF which were
centuries old Picking up one extremely odd sword,
the handle OF which was long enough for one to
grasp with both hands. he explained that it was
the weapon of q CoTean gentleman OF the six
teenth century
1T was indeed truly wonderful sword, for as
my host went on TO explain, the gentlemen OF this
period were extremely proud OF their swords and
their ability 10 WELD them. Why said my host
almost any Corean can tell you the legend OF the
two gentlemen who while walking. were discussing
the relative merits Of their swords. when OF
them who had become heated during the con-
versafion. raised his sword high above hts head
and swung Il with such rapidity. accuracy and
force thar he cut completely in two cOOlie who
happened to be passing
THAT he proved his skill and the temper OF his
steel will be seen, for, the story has st. the blow
was so dextrously struck and the sword so keen
that the cOoie, entirely unaware OF what had hap
pened. continued hts walk down the street, and It
was not until he attempted TO turn q corner that
he discovered he was cut for in turning the corner
he fell apart
Mr.. Holmes says from appearances, one would
almost believe the sword capable OF performing
this feat.

UsCLE SANS BALANCE SHEET.

The fiscal year will end with June
80, and speculations over the balance
in the federal treasury are becoming
interesting. Secretary Shaw said a
year ago it would be $58. OOO, 900. His
guess was not a good one, for the
surplus already exceeds $40, 600, 900,
and it may go to $50, 600, 600 before the
year is ended.
The result is due to no economy on
the part of Congress or the administra-
ton, but is solely due to an increase in
the country's income. 1t has been an
unusually prosperous year, n i'm
ports have been correspondingly heavy.
Very few years indeed have shown a
greater surplus. 1t was but $25, $780,
900 last year. This veal it will be at
least SIS, 600, 900. We have to go back
to 1905 to find a record of a larger sur
plus, and then back to 1890. AL
through the SOS there were large sur
pluses, and in 1882 the surplus vas
O145 .543, 600.
Despite the trend towards billion
dollars annual appropriations, the sur
plus of 1908 may go to large figures, for
Dingleyism is to be maintained, it is
plain, throughout that year.

IMMIGRATION In THE SOUTH.

The building of immigrant stations
at Charleston, New Orleans and Mobile
is to be followed by the establishment
of steamship lines to n from Euro
pean ports. These steamship lines will
be induced to make the gulf ports their
destinations by the advantages held
out by the various railroads that have
gulf terminals. Possibly the railroads
that enter Charleston may do likewise.
It is to be hoped they will, for immi-
grants arriving at Charleston would
assuredly stay in the southeast, while
those that arrive at New Orleans Or
Galveston may be turned away by the
railroads to the rams Mississippi west.
The states as such can not aid this
movement while the goldbrick immi-
grafton bill passed last winter through
a conniption fit in the White House
over the Frisco" Japanese incident re-
mains in operation. It goes in opera
ton on July l, and while it remains a
law it will handicap the south. If
Lodge, Allison & Co. will not permit
it's repeal or modification, the southern
states can do nothing to increase their
white population. This is a matter of
deep regret. but the east, not the south,
is running the federal machine. The
needs of the south alike in her fields
and cotton mills are ignored and even
maliciously blocked by the gum-shoe
tactics of the New England spinners.

The stir of educational enthusiasm is
in the air. Never before has the coun-
try at large felt so keen an interest in
the subject of education. Never has
our State taken such active steps to-
wards spreading education, nor has
our own city so fully realized the value
of education and educational institu-
tons.
North Carolina has long enough
among her sister States in educational
rank. No more hopeful sigh of a
brighter future can be found than in
this awakening of educational interest.
It manifests itself in various ways, but
most v1sibly in two, namely, in the
founding of schools and colleges, and
in the esta blishment of libraries. Our
libraries, no less than our schools and
colleges, may be called institutions Of
learning. The library is the laboratory
and the library go hand in hand in af-
fording aid to the student.
In another column of this p was
read of the movement on the part of
our citizens to secure for Goldsboro the
site of the proposed Eastern Training
School. This school would mean much
to our city; but the advantage would
not all be on one side-Goldsboro has
much to offer to such a school,. Much
has been made of our geographical po-
sition and our advantageous railroad
facilities, being at the junction Of
three railway lines. One important
item in the assets of Goldsboro is the
possession Of a well established library
and the prevalence in our community

Some New Laws To Become Opera.
tive Next Week.
(By special wire to The ARGUs.)

Washington, D. c., June 29.-With
the beginning of the governments
fiscal year next Monday many i'm
portant legislative acts by the last
Congress will become operative. One
of the important measures to become
effective is the new immigration law.
ALI the sections of this law will go into
effect, with the exception of the Sec
tion relating to Japanese colonies,
which became effective when the act
was passed. The law contains many
new feature designed to bring in a
better class of immigrants. The head
tax is increased 81 and the excluded
classes are considerably enlarged. Sec
rotary of Commerce and Labor Strauss
and Commissioner General of Immi-
grafton Sargent have had a number of
conferences with the immigration Off
Gals at the chief ports of entry in order
that there may be no friction or mis-
conception in the execution of the
laws.
Another of the important measures
to come into force Monday is that pro-
vision of the rate law which author
ICES the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to require the railroads to install
a uniform system of accounting. The
system will vel operating revenues
and operating expenses, and the rail-
roads will be compelled to file monthly
reports. The method adopted is in
tended to insure a correct statement OF
revenues from operation and is expect
ed to result in keeping the cost of i'm
provements out of operating expenses
and therefore exclude them from the
cost of performing current business.
The expense of soliciting traffic is sep
arated from the expense of hauling
traffic. The construction accounts are
to be so drawn that a current record OF
the physical value of railway property
is always accessible.

The Stir of Educational Enthusiasm
Is In The Air.
An Important Item Peculiar Ito Goldsboro AS
One Of the Bidders For the States

of the true library spirit.
Should not a good library be counted
as one of the most alluring attractions
OF a town bidding for a large educa-
tional institution, and one of the most
onvincing arguments for a towns
fitness as the site of such an institu-
ton?
The Goldsboro circulating library has
steadily grown from a small collection
of books to its now considerable pro-
portions. The records show almost a
hundred persons supplied with reading
matter from this source each week, and
this with the library open only one day
In the week for an hour and a half. Of
how intellectually greater usefulness
could this library prove itself could it
be kept open every day, or several
days a week; if we were able to add to
our shelves the many new and stand
ard books that are constantly being
called for; and if we could employ a
regular librarian to undertake the rou-
tine library work, instead of depending
upon volunteer service.
The library has grown steadily and
unfaulteringly, but it is still in it's in
fancy A splendid future lies before
it, a future that holds limitless posi-
bilities OF usefulness to our people.
Now, when the sentiment for education
is ripe, it is the time most propitious to
forge ahead and realize in some degree

Charlotte MISUNDERSTANDING Bru-
ner, of the Department of Agriculture,
who has just returned from the James
town exposition, informs our Raleigh
correspondent that it will be completed
by August 1st and will then be a great
show. We are surprised that the date
of it's completion is SO remote. 1t is,
however, already a good show, though
one intending to go to it would better
wait until it is finished.
Wilmington Star.-The splendid clam
shell dredge Hercules, recently built at
a COS of $61, $50 by Theodore Smith
Sons & Company, at Jersey City, for
the government work on the upper n

team to 4, and say they had an easy
game. The Chokio team have played
a number of games this spring and
each time came out victorious, so it's
to the Morris boys credit that they
defeated the team, and with such
marked ease.
The high school girls are thinking
seriously of giving social as means
for raising money to pay the base ball
teams travelling expenses. Their
treasury is quite out of funds, and as
result the boys had to walk back to
Morris after the Choklo game. This
is hard on them after a lively game,
and the girls feel it their duty to come
to their relief.

The evening was the most pleasant
one ever spent by the classes as an
assembly. The Seniors showed their
their indispensable art of decorating
and also of planning thoroughly en-

Toxin and An$itoxin,

A toxin is the poison Of a disease
germ. When such a germ enters the
body, nature. to combat 1t. provides in
the blood substance which neutralizes
the action of the germs poison. This
substance Is termed an antitoxin. We
say Of diphtherfa that it runs Its course
in seven days or of typhoid fever that
it runs it's course in twenty one days.
We mean by this that with diphtheria
it requires seven days for the body to
form the antitoxin which renders the
germs poison harmless, and with ty-
phoid it requires twenty-cne days. By
the injection Of antitoxin In the early
stages of diphtheria the poison Is coun-
teracted at once, the disease does not
have to run it's course and the attend
ant dangers are done away with.

Hutton, the historian Of Derby. Eng
land, tells a curious story about his
grandfather. He, was serving under
Cromwell in. 1647, when one day In
crossing over st. Mary's bridge he saw
girl standing by the stream filing her
pail with water. He flung large
stone toward her to brighten her with
the splash, missed his aim and hit her
on the head. She fell motOnless, and
he ran away, fearing he had killed her.
For years he was haunted by the idea
that the girls blood was on his hands.
After his discharge from the army he
married Derby woman and one day
intrusted this secret to her. He was
both relieved and surprised to learn
that the girl had recovered and that he
had married her.

Two Persons Known to Have Perished
in Kansas City Fire.

Kansas City, May 1O.-Search for
bodies was begun at daylight in the
ruins of the University building, at
Ninth and Locust streets, destroyed by
fire during the night. One body at
least is known to be in the debris,
that of Miss Aurora Wittebort, piano
instructor, and it is believed that many
others may be found. The fire is still
smouldering and it will be some time
before thorough search can be made.
The known dead now number two,
Miss Wittebort and Professor George
Demare. 1t is believed that all of the
injured will recover. The most seri-
ously hurt is Countess Alexandra
Blumberg, the Russian artist, whose
skull was fractured in fall from a
ladder. Her condition is serious, but
DR.. Eugenia Metzger, her physician,
expressed the belief that the countess
would recover.
Countess Blumberg is the daughter
of a Russian nobleman, Count Andre
Blumberg, once member of the privy
council of the car, who fell under the
displeasure of the crown and was ex-
lied after his immense estates had
been confscated.
Miss Wittabort was the heroine OF
a train incident in Indiana when she
was a young girl twelve years ago and
for her b~ayery, which resulted in saw
ing a fast passenger train which bore
a number of French and Belgian Of
fcials Ell route to Chicago, she was
decorated by the French government.
