THEIR WORKS DO LIVE AFTER
THEM.

Kindly and diplomatic old DR..
Blacknall and genial and popular
Charlie VOORHEES, have both passed
over the river these many years ago,
but some worthy representative of
the romancing kind still dwells in
and about MOrehead City to remind
us of the days when they were in the
flesh Witness the following from a
correspondent last week when the
editors were in convention there:
J. Il. Alexander, editor of the Lex
ington North State, was fishing on
the new bridge draw yesterday morn
ing, and had the misfortune to drop
his eye glasses in the channel After
fishing for half an hour, and be-
moaning his luck of not being able
to see, he pulled out a perch that had
his eyeglasses across its nose. One
side of the nose spring of the glasses
had caught in the fish's eye.

No Time to Make Political Capt. al

This is a serious time in the affairs
of North Carolina. Much more so
than is generally supposed and while
we have a State law that must be en-
forced and upheld yet this is no time
for the demagogue, whether in the
press, on the stump or in the court
room. This is no time for dissen-
sions among North Carolinians OF
whatever political opinion and the
maa who will attempt to make po-
litical capital out Of the situation
should be frowned upon by his fell
lOWmen.

Commenting on the railroad rate

between the Federal court and the
State courts, the Norfolk Virginian-
Pilot of Friday makes this observa-
ton:
But whatever the outcome of the
conflict, whether the Federal or the
State courts have their way, it is
safe to predict that the railroads will
be the losers in the end. The vigor-
Gus effort which the State is making
to enfore the rate law is unmistaka-
BILE indication of the popular indiy

FACTS ABOUT PHILADELPHIA

1t may surprise some people to
learn that Philadelphia is one Of the
greatest manufacturing centers in
the United States, surprising any
other one city i'll some respects, i'll
stead of the slow, methOdical unprO-
gressive Quaker City it is generally
supposed to be- In an interesting
article article in the Charlotte Oh
! server, Mr.. ID. \. Tompkins, one of
the owners of that paper and who is
one of the best informed men on all
matters pertaining to the manufac-
turing interests of the country, says
this of Philadelphia as Il city of vast
and varied manufactures:
One of the popular vagaries of the
American people is to tell stories
against Observation-Disclosures about
how slow and dull u town the Qua
ker City is. These stories don't hurt
Philadelphia, in fact her people seem
rather to enjoy them Philadelphia
is the great leading manufacturing
centre i'll the Union. a city of i'm
menSe commerce and all intelligent
people know that; consequently stO-
| ries to the contrary rather help to
advertise the city and have no ad-
verse influence.
Really and truly it's wonderful
how out OF accord these stories are
with the facts. Philadelphia is un-
doubtedly by long odds the leading
manufacturing city in America. She
makes better laces than Nottingham,
better carpets than Brussels. better
locomotives and more of them than
any other city in the world. She
builds the ships OF America and does
a thousand and one other things
that the thoughtful don't stop to
think about and that the thought
less don't know about and never will
know about.
Philadelphia is Il city of working
peoples homes. Its work people are
the best housed OF any working peo-
| pie in the world and the system OF
local cooperative building and loan
associations by which this has been
accomplished represents Il benefi-
cence of untold influence for both
material and moral good which is
unknown in other cities, except by
following the lead of Philadelphia.

Did the Southern Have a Tip?

Greensboro Record
The worst feature in this rate war
night Is the factor fact it appears
To be-that the southern had its
coupons printed and in the hands of
ITS agents at number of places be-
lore the decision of Judge Pritchard
was announced, giving rise to the
speculation that the road had assur-
ances from some quarter as to what
the decision would be. OF course if
tne story is true and the Southern
dld have these coupons ready. it can
come back and say that it was OBJ
Iged to take this risk; that if Judge
PrItchard had continued the re-
stralning order and the road had
not been ready with its coupons.
great confusion and wrong would
have been done. This is somewhat
logical, but you can't get one man
IN thousand to believe it.

CRITICISM OF THE EXPOSITION
OUT OF PLACE.

1t Is gratifying TO note Lnat Tie
cautious and carping criticism to
which the jamestown Exposition has
been subjected by the newspapers in
some quarters is gradually dying ont
"A fact which furnishes good ground
for the hope that the press OF the
country, without exceptionally soon
be giving this great show the justice
to which it's many unique and at
tractive features, its magnificent
scenery, its great architectural beauty
and charm and its varied and inter-
esting exhibits Justly and fully entitle
it. 1t is also encouraging to observe
that reports of alleged extortlon
practiced upon visitors by hotel and
restaurant keepers at the grounds
and in Norfolk are no longer appear
ing in public print-reports, which,
save, possibly, in very exceptional III
stances, had no foundation in TACT.
With the press OF the country dis
playing Il proper spirit towards TINS
great celebration, giving it fair and
lust treatment which is all the Expo
sitiOn asks for or desires, there is no
room for doubt that it will prove as
successful from the standpoint OF at
tendance as it now is in every other
respect.-NOrfoIk Trginian-PilOt.
Criticism of the Jamestown Expo
sition is out Of place now whatever
may have been the cause OF com
plaint-just or imaginary-hereto-
fore. At no stage has the condition
of incOmpeteness of the Exposition
been greater, all things considered,
than what other eXpOsitions have
been during the first few months al
ter opening, and those who have
complained on this score have only
advertised their ignorance OF such
things. True, IL scarcity OF labor,
bad weather and other things that
have handicapped the management
since the opening day could the visi-
tor see all that was to be seen in the
average time at ones command.
And if it was worth while before
what must be said of the Jamestown
Exposition now that it is complete
the last building finished and the eX-
hibits all practically installed? 1t is
Il great show unlike other expOsi
tons in many respects and surpass
ing them in unique character and
physical aspects while i'll the beauty
and permanency OF its buildings it Is
ahead of anything of the kind ever
before undertaken. While not on as
vast Il scale as some of the Others the
.Jamest own Exposition compares
| favOrably with any of them. With
out being egotistical the writer
knows whereof he speaks. Beginning
with the Philadelphia Centennial il
| 1876 he has been to every exposition
| apprOximating Il national or inter
| national character since: Chicago
st. Louis, Buffalo, Nashville, Allan
ia, Charleston, Portland. and his
candid Judgment is that the promo
ters and managers of the jamestown
Ter-Centennial have wrought wei
and builded a show which will com
pare favorably with its predecessors
and serve as n monument to thell
superb efforts and splendid public
spirit

NORTH CAROLINA WEEK AT

Indications are that North Caro-

the occasion Of ii great movement OF
people from all over this State on
Norfolk. GOV. Glenn will be there
with his staff. and the Second and

there. The First Regiment which
has been ordered to MOrehead City
for rife practice will break camp and

ticipate in the parade and review OF
the troops which wiIl.probablv be on
the 10Th. Twenty-six companies OF
fifty men each, not including the OIL
Gcers, who will number nearly 100,
will be in line.
North Carolina owes it TO herself

jamestown ExpOsitjOn in which we
should feel an interest hardly second

is made a memorable one.

Captain J. M. CIapp's will.

A special dated Washington, d. c.,
Jan. IA, says: An estate of S2,0O0,0O0 is
disposed of by the will of Captain John
M. Clapp, formerly of Tidioute, Warren
county, Pa, dated December Is, 1902, and
filed here for probate.
An annuity of $1,000 is bequeathed to
his sister, Mrs. Caroline q. McAllister,
and should she pre-decease her husband
the payments are to be made to him dur
ing life. A collection Of American and
foreign Gains is given to his son, John II.
Clapp, who is also to have his tfather's
Masonic jewelry upon his becoming a
member of that fraternity.
The widow, Mrs. Anna p. Clapp, is to
have in lieu of dover the share allowed
to the widow by the laws of Pennsylva-
MIA, in addition 10 all jewelry, furniture
and contents of the house, 1924 Vermont
avenue, in this city; the cottage at Lake.
wood, N. Y, and the hotel at President,
Pa, as we'll as all horses and carriages.
The dividends on Captain Clspp's hold
ings in the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany and the Chicago q Northwestern
Railroad Company are to be paid to his
three children, Frances G. Hall, Alice j..
Clapp, and John Fl. Clapp. In the event
of the death of all the children the stock
is to become part of the estate, and the
widow is to have the life use of them,
which are to descend to the heirs of the
testator.
The sum of $5O,0OO each is bequeathed
to Alice j. Clapp and John H. Clspp, to
be paid in money or property as their
mother shall direct. The other daughter,
to whom 900 was advanced in 1899,
according to the will is to have further
advance of S25, 900 placed to her credit by
the executors and trustees as a fund for
her benefit.
Mr.. Clapp directs that five years from
his death an appraisement of his estate be
made, of which one-third is to be divided
among his children, "a third OF the sum ap-
portioned to go to Alice j. Clapp, third
to John H. Clapp and the remaining
third to Frances G. Hall fund. Similar
distributions are provided at the end of
10 aud 10 years.
The testator provides that the fund SET
aside for his daughter, Frances C. Hall
shall be invested and the net income paid
to her semi-annually until her youngest
child attains the age of 2I years, when the
fund is to be distributed among her
children. Mrs. Anna H. Clapp and at
to.ney ]. j. Darlington are named as ex-
ecutors and trustees under the will.
No mention is made in the will rela-
tive to tine war comrades,o of the deceased,
members of company F, 12lst Reg. p. V.
which he recruited at President in 1861. 1t
was intimatsd some time ago that each
member would receive legacy, and the
fact that nothing is forthcoming from the
vast estate will be disappointment to
many of them.
