Great Government Pier
AT the Jamestown Exposition to be
Formally Dedicated Sept. 4th-
Celebration to Occur in the Ev-
ening and Will Include Brilliant
Illumination, Fireworks Display
and Other Features.
Norfolk Virginian-PiIot, Aug. 22nd.

Norlolk Nirglnian-PIot, Aug. 22nd.
The immense double Government
Pier will be formally dedicated We'd
nesday, September 4th, according to
the amour Gem ,nt of the Publicity
Division yesterday.
The dedication ceremonies marking
the completion of the Exposition in
every detail, will take place at night,
beginning at 8 8o'clock They will in
clude the most brilliant pyrotechnic
displays ever attempted at the FIX.
position.
Yesterday the pier for the first time
was Illuminated. The long lines o
electric lights down the four sides o
the double pier and the towers on
each side and booths were lighted up
and made IL brilliant spectacle
One of the features of the dedica-
ton will be Il reproduction in Grand
Basin of the famous battle between
the Merrimac and the Monitor, both
ships being outlined in fire.
The water in Grand Basin will be
transformed into liquid, flashing
light, while defying all known laws
of nature. flying fish and diving
devils will gambol hither and thitheI
through the waves. Another inter
esting device will be Fnlton's old
sidewheeer, the "Clermont"
While these set figures are being
shown hundreds OF fiery geysers
throwing golden spray hundreds OF
feet into the air will burst up in Va
rious parts of the basin and in more
quiet places gardens of lilies will APP
pear, the tropical flowers changing
color every minute.
Perhaps the most striking effect
will be that known as the "Spiri6 Ot
the Falls" This will be represented
by a draped figure of heroic size
standing over the brink OF all enOr
nous waterfall with arms outstretch
ed AS the falls gather force a heavy
spray rises in the whiteness of which
the figure gradually disappears:
The Government Pier at the Expo
sition is composed of two wings over
1900 feet in length extending out
into the waters of Hampton Roads
Immediately in front of the Audito
rum. These wings or arms Are con
nected at their water end by a stee
arch-the arch and the two arms in
cluding over a million square feet o
water surface, which has a depth o
from ten to fifteen feet.
Over a mile of sea wall is utilized
in the sides of the piers. The tota
cost was some 100000, which il
seen to be moderate when it is real
lied that 1900 piles were driver
into the harbor bottom, some 300,
1000 square yards of earth filed il
around the inner walls, while owe
100000 square yards of earth wer'
removed from the bottom OF th

says all eScudupe.
Every employe should make him
self Indispensable to his employer.
That which goes a long way toward
the attainment of this end is prompt
ness. The service which drags itself
along and waits for the whistle to
blow for quitting time never attaches
to the really successful man. Prompt
ness and dispatch is the keystone of
the arch OF business. 1t is amazing
how many there are who have to be
told to do n thing and then be ha-
rassed into doing it, The employer
time aud again has to tell the sloven-
ly clerk to do something and then
hold the matter in mind to tell him
again. The young man who is alert
and has to be told only once is IL
treasure and is the one who always
gets promotion and becomes in time
a proprietor. The one who is told
to do something at his convenience,
but who nevertheless does it immed-
lately is the one who is advanced by
his employer and makes success for
, himself

Commenting on the observance OF
North Carolina Day at the James
town Exposition, the Lexington Dis
patch says:
1t is stated that the attendance
was about double what it was on the
biggest day the Exposition has had
until this time. Forty or fifty thou
sand North Carolinians were there,
and with Governor R. B. Glenn at
their head, they captured Norfolk
and the Exposition. Their numbers,
their spirit of enthusiasm and pa
triotism, their great governor and
his magnificent speech, astonished
and captivated the multitude and re-
vealed to the whole country that
North Carolina is "It," as the News
and Observer says. Hear these two
paragraphs from the Norfolk Land
mark:
'Such a spirit as that shown yes
terday has never before permeated
the Exposition and the applause ac-
corded Governor Robert B. Glenn
throughout the day has never before
been equalled, not even upon the oc-
casion of the visits of President
Roosevelt.
THE ovation accorded Governor
Glenn exceeded that accorded the
President on either of his visits, and
was the greatest demonstration made
during the life of the Exposition.
North Carolina and Glenn sit at the
head of the table. The old common
wealth is alive with energy and prog
ress and is growing rich and power
full. And Glenn-why he's the biggest
man in the country! There are some
who sneer at him in North Carolina
but there are mighty few out OF North
Carolina who do not accord him
what he merits, and the overwhelm-
ing numbers of his own people who
love and honor him give lie to the old,
but often true, ,adage, that prophet
is not without honor save in his own
country.

High Point Enterprise.

High POlnt Enterprise.
We like to hear any one speak well
of his town. 1t shows that kind of
enthusiasm which does much to build
up the town. Men call it public
spirit 1t is the same sort OF loyalty
which soldier has for the army in
which he fights. AS the success of IA
battle depends upon the loyalty OF
the soldier, SO the success of a town
depends upon the loyalty OF the citi-
Zens who compose it.
Loyalty to ones town reaches far
ther, too, than speaking we'll of it in
general. Not only should the citizens
speak we'll Of the place in which they
live, but OF every business and other
interest which is in it. For, as the
links o; chain make the strength OF
chain, so does the we'll being and
prosperity of every business interest
in a town make for its strength. Ac-
cordingly, he who undermines, by
slander and other kinds of ''knock-
ing" an established business. reflects
on the prosperity and integrity OF
the place in which such business is To-
Gated.
There is no more dangerous or
worthless man than he who con-
stantly goes about with a chip on
his shoulders, running down the men
of his town. Prejudice is a powerful
agency to work up such knocking
and all knocking" can usually be
traced to this evil. 1t should be the
habit of every man OF integrity to
turn the cold shoulder to men OF this
character. Even though one share
the same political or other preludices
he should m axe it principle to hit
'knocking" squarely in the forehead.
For. after all, the town is but large
family, every member OF which is de-
pendent to a greater or smaller de-
gree, upon every other member.
Where is the man to be found who
does not resent ill-spoken words
against his family? Men are quick
to call slanderers of this kind to per-
sonal account, for the family honor
must be maintained. A man will
fight for this, although he may not
be in accord with every member OF
his family. The same attitude
should be maintained by every citi-
zens with regard to every business or
other interest OF a town.
The "knocker" may be found in
every community. We should not
think it possible that any busy town
could be entirely freed OF them. But
at least they can be made OF no effect
if the bone and sinew and brain
which make for the success OF the
town treat the "knocker" and all oi
his ilk with the contempt he SO
richly deserves.

A Chat With Our Young Men

Exchange, Home Circle Department.
Boys, let us be men. Let us be
honest, earnest young men and we
shall then be noble men. NObleness
and selfishness are not one and rarely
do we find them living in peace to-
gether.
We may never be what the world
calls great, but we can all be noble
men, and our nobleness can COM
mence this very hour and just where
we are. A young mans first and
truest act of nobility is tolove, honor
and protect his parents. When he
becomes too proud to be seen walk
ing as staff to tottering, helpless
father, or to stand by the bedside OF
her who is waiting a moment this
side of the river to catch one more
gaze, through the fading shadow OF
the past, of her little boy lost in
manhood, he is surely fast going
down the eminence of manlinpss.

morning waves of the great sea OF

Notrh Carolina's WAY.

North Cardinals way of doing
things is illustrated by the following
story, written by the Jamestown cor
respondent of the Richmond Times
Dispatch on North Carolina Day
Thursday, Aug. 18th:
"It remained for North Corolina to
arise in her patriotism and give the
jamestown Ter-Centennial ExpOsi-
ton the heartiest support that the Gel.
ebration has yet had.
"Great is North Carolina. The Car
olinians made good the boasts of
some of them that North Carolina
Day would be the biggest day in
point of attendance at the Exposition
to date. And what makes a fair
successful anyway, if it isn't atten-
dance? And there was no booming
of cannon, parade and illumination
of a great international feet of war
ships or presence of national figures
or foreign potentates save two Ameri-
can governors to attract crowds.
The people of the Old North State
lust came to the Jamestown Exposi-
ton thousands and thousands of
them, as many as the railroads could
bring. Those getting in this morn
ing report that other thousands were
left standing on the depot platforms
by trains already loaded to their
capacity.
There have been days when more
soldiers and sailors have been seen
marching ON Lee parade, when the
United States and foreign lands have
united there, but never before today
has such lot OF plain, substantial,
prosperous-looking American citizens
gathered to the Exposition grounds
as was here from North Carolina
today.
rBut North Carolina had her SOL
diers and naval militia here too.
Had the trains been able to bring all
who wanted to come there is no tell
ing how many people would have
been here. Governor Glenn was proud
at the showing of his State. Exposi-
ton President Harry st. George
Tucker acknowledged that North
Carolina had outdone all other
States in observing her day at
