Tribute to Women.
Exchange. Home Circle Department.


Place her among the flowers, fos-
ter her as tender plant, and you
will thus make of her n tender plant,
and she becomes a thing of fancy,
waswardness and folly. She is an
noyed by IA dew,irop, fretted by the
touch of a butterfiy's wing, ready to
faint at the sound of a beetle or the
rattle of window-sash atnight, and
is even overpowered by the scent OF
q rosebud. But let real calamity
come, rouse her affections, enkindle
the fires of her being and mark her,
then how strong is her heart. Place
her in the heat of battle, give her a
child, a bird, or anything to protect,
and see her lifting her white arms as
a shield, as her own blood crimsons
her upturned forehead, praying for
her life to protect the helpless.
Transplant her into the dark places
of the earth, call forth her energies
to action and her breath becomes a
healing, her presence blessing. She
disputes inch by inch the strides OF a
stalking pestilence, when man, the
strong and brave, pale and alright
ed, shrinks away. Misfortune hurts
her not; she wears away her life liz
silent endurance and goes forth with
less timidity than to the bridal altar.
In prosperity, she is bud full OF
odors, waiting for the winds of ad-
versity to scatter them abroad
gold, valuable, but untried in the
furnace.

If a people does not appreciate it's

that it will grow heroes in it's future.
1t is encouraging therefore to find
the South paying tribute to those
that once served her we'll by rearing
monuments to their memory-to
Hampton at Columbia, to Gordon
at Atlanta, and to Davis at Rich
mond, to mention only a few of the
more recent instances. South Caro-
lima is also preparing now to erect
a $4,000 statute to Calhoun in
Statuary Hall, Washington, and
North Carolina will put Vance to
stand beside hiiu. A monument to
Wyatt, first fallen i'll the Civil War,
is also a natural sequel to the build
ing OF the Bagley monument
And now in more than one South
ern State movements are on foot
looking to the erection of suitable
monuments to commemorate the
Spartan courage of the Confederate
women. General Irvine c. Walker
is advocating the idea in Tennessee,
and in North Carolina, Mr.. ]. W.
Bailey has the idea much at heart
And that there will be a hearty and

Respect for the Law.
Smithfield Herald.

oHiIllIHelu Il"IdIu
Somehow, we don't know why,
there is lack OF respect for the law
in many States Of the Union, and We
fear that this lack Ofrespect is greater
in some sections of the South than
in other parts. Perhaps the greatest
cause for this lack Of respect for the
law is the fact that our courts so
often fail to convict and properly
punish criminals. There have been
instances in North Carolina within
recent years in which the public felt
that there had been n gross miscar-
riage Of justice. When n heinous
crime is committed and the cul pirit
is brought to trial and all manner
OF means is resOrted to by his at
tOrneys to prevent him being found
guilty, law-abiding citizens become
alarmed sometimes because they see
that criminals are going to be turned
loose to again disturb the peace and
serenity OF the community. II the
people everywhere were confident
that justice would be meted out to
criminals, there would be fewer lynch
ing bees in the South.
These observations were suggested
by reading an interview in the Wash
ingtOn Post, with F. r. keer, Crown
Prosecutor for Ontario. Canada. Mr..
Kerr is quoted as folio
''ln all my remembrance | cannot
recall case of lynching in Canada,
and | do not believe there has been
one in many years. 1t is not that
we extenuate heinOus crimes, but it
is because OF the feeling of the people

lieve, had the crimes happened in the
United States the perpetrators would
have Suffered instant death at the
hands Ola mob, but in every case a
single policeman has been able quiet
ly to take his prisoner from his cap
tors. The Canadian people absolutely
respect the majesty of the law, be-
cause they know an offender will get
his deserts OF course, Canada has
not SO many social problems to deal
with as you may have in this coun-
try, but no matter what might be
the apparent justification for mob
violence, the people always wait for
the law to take its course

Uncle Remus's Magazine for Sep
TENDER.

The casual observer is first attracted
to Uncle Remus's Magazine for Septem-
Der by the originality and charm of it's
cover design. This represents the first
of series of Southern girls and is
drawn with grace and vigor by E. NJ.
Ashe. 1t is called "The Richmond Girl
and the face and figure are typical OF the
unusual and fascinating beauty which
characterizes SO many Virginia gentle
women.
The contents of the magazine amply
fulfill the interest and anticipation Gre
ated by the preceding numbers, and ev-
cry feature is well handled.
In the current issue Del Chandler Har.
ris assumes at will his various and de-
lightful roles, and as Uncle Remus he
sings a new song telling how ''Brer Rab-
bit Raised the Dust" while as "the
Farmer" writes eloquently and tenderly
of ''The Little Children of Snap Bean
Farm" and as billie Sanders he ex-
presses some very original and practical
views on Problems and Remedies
touching with rare wisdom the much
discussed Race Question.
Don Marquis, the Associate Editor, is
| we'll represented by his usual clever de.
partment in which timely topics are dis.
cussed, as well as by scholarly book
review which gives An Oriental View Of

tanning story entitled the ''Tribulations

The South Setting the Pace.

huFlDtIt ODSt fFrT.
Recent census statistics show that
of %, 100, G13 cotton spindles in
1903 Southern State s had 7 ,507, 749,
or nearly one third New England,
with 1871 ,241, or over half, re-
tanned her predominance, but the
long retention of that predOminance
is made to appear very improbable.
Whereas the Southern States nearly
doubled their producing capacity i'll
five years, her gain was but from
1850, 907 spindles. Massachusetts,
with S.411,249, still outweighs the
entire South; South Carolina is next
with 1854 ,O92; Rhode Island third
with 2,049,522; North Carolina
fourth with 1,SSO,05O, and Georgia
fifth with / BIG, 5S3.
Equally satisfactory as showing
the South's rapidity OF growth are
recent national banking statistics.
Since 1900 there have been chartered
3,5lO new national banks. In these
the Middle West comes first with 0S5;
the South is second with 500; the
West third with S07; the East fourth
with 51J; the Pacific States fifth
with Dos; and New England sixth
with 40 Hawaii is credited with
four of this total, and Porto Rico
and Alaska with one each. BY States
Texas is first with 3S1, with ST.
1S1, 900 capital; and Pennsylvania
gets first place in new capital. Her
showing is so, 1872 900 in $40 new
banks. OF course the reduction oil
minimum capital limit to $50, 600
has had some effect in swelling the
SOuth's and the Vests totals not
only numerically but proportionate-
", yet these figures are fairly impress
sive. In Industrial, commercial and
financial growth the South today
moves at the very forefront oil

The Jamestown Exposition.
New Bern Sun

New Bern Sun.
The Exposition is really a big show,
and to get a proper appreciation OF
it you must see it.
What is Of most interest to North
Carolinians is the showing made by
this State. 1t is superb. North
Carolina is literally at the "head OF
the table" at jamestown. The State
building is one Of the handsomest on
the grounds, and competent judges
from other States have been kind
enough to say that it beats all OF
them. And everywhere one sees
something from the old State that
makes his bump OF pride in his State
grow larger. The exhibits are OF the
very best, and are displayd with
taste and good Judgment.
The general exhibit from this State
can but make a most favorable inn
preston Oh the visitors, and many
OF them marvel at the resources OF
North Carolina. The expressions
heard at the Exposition every day
are sufficient justification OF the
stand taken by those who favored
an appropriation by the State for
the show. They should also put the
blush OF shame on the cheek OF all
who opposed taking any part in the
enterprise by the State. North Caro-
lima will be benefited in untold meas
ure by the showing made. Think
how it would look for the State,
right next door to the Exposition
grounds, and within two hours ride.

Mr. ". W. kitchin's unwarranted
attack on certain newspapers in the
State because they criticise his official
acts has brought upon him the criti-
cism of many of the papers of the
State, which were entirely neutral in
the contest for the gubernatorial
nomination. 1t is plain that Mr..
kitchin has lost ground by his con-
duct in this matter. He went en-
tirely too far in his criticism of the
papers which he asserted were op-
posed to his nomination. He had
no right TO criticise them at all had
they openly opposed him or a dvanced
the cause OF some other candidate.
They have as much right to do that
as have other papers to endorse his
candidacy and urge his nomination.
Has it come to the point in this
State that paper makes itself sub
lect to abuse by a candidate because
it opposes or does not advocate his
nomination? The man who takes
such a position will be pretty ap: to
find himself on the losing side. Even
his friends among the newspapers
would not endorse such conduct.
