According to recent Communication
from Mr.. Jno. WILDER Jenkins to thu
News and Observer the following
toast was written by Mrs. Harry C.
Martin, formerly of Raleigh, now Of
Knoxville, Tenn. 1t was first giver
at the annual banquet of the North
Carolina Society in Richmond on
May 20, 1904:
Here's to the land of the long-leaf
pine;
The summer land where the sun doth
shine,
Where the weak grow strong and the
strong grow great;
Here's to down home-The Old North

uniform in composition than the gum
turpentines, and for all practical
purposes contain the identical sub
stances. The oder often can not be
distinguished from that of the gum
spirits, but even if it could, this is
small matter in many cases, as in
finitesimal and undetectable amounts
of certain impurities left in the re-
fined product as the result of the
methods of production can produce
this slight difference in odor, and
the wood turpentine should not be
condemned for practical purposes on
this account. This becomes still
more evident when it is known that
the sweet odor of the gum turpen-
tine is not characteristic of itself,
but is due to an impurity produced
by the chemical action of air upon
it.
These are important discoveries
and are well worthy of considera-
ton. If they are true, then refined
steam turpentine, properly prepar-
ed, should bring at least an equ; !
price in this country with the gum
turpentine. Indeed, abroad, this is
often the case, and instances are on
record where the refined steam tur-
pentine has, by virtue of it's more
uniform composition, brought five
cents gallon more than the gum
spirits, and is in much greater de-
mand. Further Investigations along
these lines will be pushed vigorously
by the Forest Service.

 It is said the president expects criticisms of the canal administratiop Democrats and from representatives of that element in his own party which is not in sympathy with his policies generally. As rigid economy is the surest way to avoid just criti cism, he has instructed Secretary Taft to cut expenses to the bone, while at the same time seeing to it that the dirt is kept flying.
 Secretary Taft has forwarded to the president reports showing that, ex- elusive of $50,000 900 originally paid to the French company for all it's rights in the property, there had actually been spent up to last March only about 34,000,000 out of total appropriation of $145,000,000 The total sum appropriated for actual con- struction is a little over $74,000, ,0O0 Thus the commission has available for purposes of construction about $40,000,000 with which to operate un- til congress authorizes the expendi lures for the next fiscal year, begin ming July 1, 1908.

CONTROVERSY OVER THE FAIRBANKS BIRTHPLACE

Much was made of picture in the book representing the house in which Mir. Fairbanks was born. As the house was burned a few years after his birth and no picture had been taken of it, MT. Fairbanks at the request of Mir Smith (my father) made 9 rough pencil sketch from memory which was dressed up for publication This, MT. Smith says, Is all the connection Mir. Fairbanks had with the picture
 In the autobiography Mir Smith says MT. Fairbanks was four years of age when the cabin was burned, and lndianians are pointing to the asser- tion that MT. Fairbanks can sketch with accuracy building that was de- stroyed when he was four years old as a demonstration of his wonderful memory.

WAS Vice President Fairbanks born w in log cabin? This great ques- tion, which threatens to become an issue in the next presidential cam paign is causing excitement among the sons of Indiana. In "The Life and Speeches of Charles Warren Fair banks" by W. H. Smith, is shown a picture of log cabin in which the vice president is reported to have been born.
 The authors son. William Wolff Smith, in reply to a recent article in an eastern weekly, has taken up the assertion that the autobiography is inaccurate and that the picture is one of a series of fakes resorted to for the purpose of promoting the vice presidents political ambitions Will liam Wolff Smith has issued the fol- lowing statement:

TIE DEPOT SITUATION.

The people of Prescott, of course, do not want to appear impatient, and are willing to allow most any one a reason able time in which to do the proper thing
 But in the matter of the depot at this place 1t seems that 20 years is a suffi- cient time for the railroad company to give us a station house commensurate with the needs of the town. For a score of years our people have pleaded, urged and almost threatened the rail road company in the matter, but that soulless corporation seems to be entirely deaf and blind to our entreaties and to the situation. For a while they did paint the building occasionally and would repair the platform when it got so full of holes that personal injury was likely to occur from its use. But they have quit doing that now. The shanty is 32 years old, and it looks as if it might be hundred. But while it's appearance IS disgrace to the town and the rail road company, that is not the worst feature. Its size is inadequate to the business done. The waiting rooms are so small, that unless it is very cold, or the weather is otherwise too severe to permit outdoor exposure, passengers waiting for trains, which are scarcely ever on time, prefer to stand on the outside, rather than to be cooped up in a little 15x15 hole. The freight depart ment cannot begin to accommodate the merchandise coming to Prescott in the busy seasons and we often see half the platform covered with freight, only to be damaged by weather conditions.
 The passenger platform is so narrow that when trains arrive, after allowing space for lot of empty truck wagons, freight that should be in the freight room, lot of idle negroes, and the necessary incoming and outgoing bag. gage and express, there is not enough room left for passengers to move with out wedging against each other like sar dimes. Ladies are frequently embar rssed by being pushed against stranger. who may be taking advantage of tho situation for that very purpose.
 Prescott can get a new depot if sht will go after it. public indignation meeting might help. We don't car, where it's built, so long as it is decent

PRESIDENT ORDERS CUT IN CANAL ZONE EXPENSES
XXT ASHINGToN.-By direction ',

w ASHINGTON.-By direction of W the president there is to be an- other reorganization of the isthmian canal commission. This time the principal branch of the commission affected will be that in Washington. which has been executing the orders of Chief Engineer Goethals with reference to the dispatch of labor and supplies to the canal zone. Now however, the president has given i'm perative instructions that the most rigid economy consistent with the highest degree of efficiency" shall be the policy As a result an order has been issued aboishing the auditors office and placing the work of auditing the accounts of the commission under the auditor for the war department. The purchasing business will be in trusted to an officer of the army.
 Joseph Bucklin Bishop of New York, who has been in charge of the office here since the reorganization some months ago, may proceed to the isthmus and perform the duties of secretary there. The advisability of this action is now under considera- tion The president has stated em- phatically that MT Bishop must be retained at his salary of $10000 per annum. David R.

THERE is considerable breezy com ment among certain women em- ployes of Uncle Sams two open shops the government printing office and the bureau of engraving and printing over what is termed by some of the fair workers the government shape" It is said this shape was created by the civil service commission for the women employees of the bureau where the paper money and stamps are print ed, and that it is now the proper thing for women in that branch to refer to their figures as the government shape"
 According to regulations of the civil service commission the measurements call for women who are tall and slen- der and sinuous," height, feet s inches: weight, 154 pounds; bust, 36 inches; waist 25 inches: hips 43 inches, and back 151s inches.
 A case of the rejection of a young woman from Michigan is cited be- cause she was not tall enough for her width to meet the requirements, al though her percentage in other direc- tions was said to have been high. It is explained that it is necessary for a woman to be tall in order that she may reach the notes while on the press. woman of short stature could not reach the notes. while one
