Agriculture and Jamestown.

William II. Stone in Southern Farm Maya
zine of Baltimore for Novem Der.
The leading exhibit feature of the
jamestown Exposition is the magnifi-
cent display of agricultural, hor-
ticultural and other products and re
sources as shown in the States EX-
hibit Palace. Here, as in the other
important features of the Exposition,
the Southern States predominant,
and the showing made is thoroughly
characteristic and representative of
the products of Southern farms. In
nearly every case the exhibits ofeach
State have been made under the
direct supervision of the State depart
ments of agriculture, which, being
thoroughly familiar with their re-
sources, have collected and arranged
their respective displays in a manner
that is fully exhaustive; in fact, so
Systematically and COMPREHENSIVE
have these exhibits been exploited
that visitors can readily ascertain
the leading agricultural and horticul-
tural products of each State and the
possibilities and opportunities which
are available either for investment
or settlement. And then, too, there
are competent men in charge from
the various departments of agricul-
ture who are fully posted as to their
resources and can answer intelligently
and convincingly all cushions Of
those interested.
=
There are no agricultural or horiti-
cultural exhibits made here by the
States of Florida, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Tennessee and Texas, and these
would not have been represented in
any way had not the railroads which
pass through them included these re-
sources in their own exhibits, and
with the exception of Texas these
have been brought out in a limited
but generally representative way.
Farm products form leading fea-
ture of the railroad exhibits, and
from Maryland to Florida and Louis
lana are shown the wonderful agri-
cultural possibilities which abound
along their several lines, and these
are strongly reinforced by the charac-
ter OF specimens OF exhibition. The
exhibits of the several States and
railroads along the lines of agricul-
ture and horticulture are doing d
most excellent work for the South
and are better acquainting not only
its own people with their wonderful
resources, but ulso the many visitors
from the North and West, whose eyes
are being opened to the splendid ad-
vantages possible in all sections OF
the South, where the labor given to
the cultivation of the farms is re-
warded by bountiful harvests, insur-
ing good living and competence.
Judging from the inquiries being re-
ceived at the exhibits there is every
reason for the South to look for
many broad and beneficial results
from its showing made at the James
town Exposition.

The Futurs of the Airship.

at may be trite, but it is none the
less true" says William A. Baldwin,
the celebrated aerOnaut, in Recrea-
ton for November, "to say of the
airship as we have so often said Of
the bicycle and the automobile, it
has come to stay" What has been
done in the United States in the last
year alone is enough to convince me
that practical navigation of the air
has arrived.
''SOme idea of how important po-
sition aerOnautics occupy in the world
today may be gained by following
the press OF the world. Hardly II
day passes that does not record Il
flight i'll some part OF the world, gov
eminent experiments to perfect the
airship for purposes of war, the or
ganization and practical exposition
OF clubs OF amateur aeronauts of the
Feasibility of this subject for sport,
and so on indefinitely. Walter Well
mans ill-timed and consequently un-
successful attempt to accomplish the
long sought discovery of the North
Pole through the medium of al air
ship is but another evidence of the
importance of the subject. His air
ship worked splendidly, but gales and
driving SNOW storms rendered the eX-
petition impossible. The Sunday
papers of this country, us well rs our
magazines and the papers of all
Europe are filled with accounts of the
progress already attained or that
may reasonably be anticipated.
What effect the use OF the airship as
an engine OF destruction will have on
modern warfare is already made the
subject OF international discussion.
The Hague Conference, made up OF
profound scholars and leading states
men from nearly allcivilized nations,
has taken up the question of warfare
in space, and alive to its ilimitable
possibilities, has drafted rules gov
erning the uses to which military bal
looms, aeroplanes and like naviga-
tors of the air shall be put, as fol-
lows: That only dirigible balloons,
monned by trained military aero
nauts, be used, and that the drop
ping OF explosives from the skies onto
defenseless cities and the discharge
OF death-dealing gases, except over
ports and military camps be pro.
hibited."

No More Open Switches.

5. W. Clark, now employed by the
Atlantic Coast Line Railway at Wei
don, has invented a device for rail
road switches which he,claims will les
sen the wrecks due to open switches
and decrease. the loss OF life attributed
to this cause. Patents for this in
vention are now pending in Washing
ton. With the new invention an EN-
ploye whose duty it is to let trains in
and out of the sidings by means
of the switch will be obliged to put
his foot in Il socket arrangement and
also will be obliged to hold lever
back until the entire train passes
through.
When the lever is pulled Il bell is
rung some distance down the track,
and also the danger signal, a red
light, looms up as long as the switch
is open. There is also an interlOck-
ing system which works with the
movements of the switch, throwing
up an attachment in the track, and
also q device which hangs from the
center of the tender. In case the en-
gineer should take no warning OF the
danger signal, this device would stop
him by cutting the couplings and
stopping his train in fifty yards.

About Kissing Mother.

A father talking to his careless
daughter, said:
II want to speak to you OF your
mother. 1t may be that you have no
ticed careworn look upon her face.
OF course it has not been brought
there by any act OF yours, still it is
your duty to chase it away.
81 want you to get up tomorrow
morning and get breakfast. When
your mother comes and begins to
express her surprise 90 right up to
her and kiss her on the mouth. You
can't imagine how it will brighten
her dear face. Besides you owe her a
kiss or two.
"a long while ago when you were
a little girl she kissed you. You were
not as attractive then as you are
now.
Through years ofchildish sunshine
and shadows she was always ready
to cure, by the magic OF a mothers
kiss, the little dirty, chubby hands
whenever they were injured with
those first skirmishes with the
round old world"

Make Growth, Not Wealth, Your
Goal.
Sueress Magazine.

Suecess Magazine.
The youth who starts out in life
with wealth IA his ideal is a fore
doomed failure. If you would sue
ceed, let growth, expanses of mind
and heart, and wealth of character,
not money getting be your aim.
Be ;is large man as you can make
yourself. Broaden your sympathies
by taking an interest in other things
than those which concern your i'm
mediate business. A knowledge OF
the great world-movements, active
sympathy with all efforts directed
toward progress and the betterment
of mankind, and the cultivation of
the finer side of your nature-foster-
ing the love of music, art and litera-
ture,-will not only enlarge your Wis
ion, but will also increase IL hundred
fold your enjoyment of life and your
value to society. Do not allow your
self to become self-centered. Give
some of your energies to securing
better conditions for those less fortu-
nately circumstanced than yourself.
Interest yourself in politics. Go to
the primaries. Remember that you
are, first of all, man, and then a
citizen, and that making Il life is
mans first duty.
Keep your manhood always in
view. Never do anything that will
throw discredit upon it, and success
will mean far more to you than mere
money getting. You will find that
culture, the development of your
aesthetic nature, will enrich you
more than the accumulation of dol
lars
II you attain to true manhood; if
you have developed along the lines
of your higher life; if you have kept
growing through all the years, no
matter whether you have ;lccumula-
ted wealth Or not, you are successful.
If, on the other hand, you have
not kept growing; ifyou have starved
your mind in order to fatten your
pocketbook; if you have strangled
your sympathies, your interest in
the welfare of others, for the sake Of
increasing your business; if you have
neglected your friendships, ignored
the claims of those dependent upon
you, or who have helped to make
your business successful; or if you
have been stingy, hard, and axacting,
while you have been accommodating
your money, you have failed,
though you may have made millions.

by a gigantic outpouring OF the citi-
zens Of Virginia and North Carolina.
Already n number of towns and
counties in both States have arranged
to observe special days at the Expo

to celebrate. Governor Glenn, four
times participant in exercises at the
Exposition, will again be the great
figure of the occasion On Raleigh Day.
Soon the great battleship fleet OF
16 warships, which is to make it's
way to the Pacific coast will assem-
BILE ut Hampton Roads, and remain
