Here is some information about ia
| pan, in tabloid form, culled from va
riOus sources:
Japan has about the same area OF
Montana, with more han half as
many people as there are in the United
States.
Japan has every kind of manufacture
ing-cotton goods, telescopes, watches.
knives, electric machinery, spoons,
| matches, clocks, wooden goods, and
host of other lines.
Japan has railroads gridironing the
Empire, electric lights in all the large
cities and telegraph lines all over the
country.
japan was thrown open to the world
in 1854 through the efforts of Commo-
lore Perry, of the United States no.
Wy.
The nation has in its historic ar
chives the histories of $50 rulers, OF
whom 10 were females.
Historians of the Empire declare
that the present ruler is the represen-
tetive Of a dynasty that has existed
for $500 years.
The monetary unit is the gold yen,
whose nominal value apprOXimates
the weight and value Of an American
dollar.
Japan has gold, silver, copper. lead,
tin and mercury in abundance, be-
sides coal end iron.
Japan raises sufficient agricultural
products to feed her own people n
leave a good quantity for export.
Japan did not nave a single battle
ship of the f~irst-class.
Toxic, the capitol and largest city
of the Empire, has a poulation of near
Up 1000, 900. Osaka is the next larg-
est city, with a population OF about
1000, 900.
The constitution of Japan secures
absolute freedom of religious belief
and practice so long as IL is not pre-
judicial to peace and order.
The principal ports of Japan lie at
the heads of CULTS, the channels lead
ing to which are nearly all well fort
fed.
The army of the Empire is organic
ed on a uniform system on the basis OF
conscription. The Emperor has the
supreme command of the army n

of the trust was against him II for
Overman, who was elected. Maybe
the trust did want Mr.. Watson defeat
ed; We don't know; but there never
was any evidence that the trust re-
garded Mr.. Overman as it's friend, and
there has been nothing in his senator
ial career to indicate that he is a friend
| of this or any other trust.
In making his plea fer preference
| because the corporations hate him, Mr..
Kitchin not only leaves the impression
| that the corporations favor his oppon-
| ents, this impression being calculated
I prejudice their cause, but he charg-
ed that the newspapers which oppose
him are under corporation influence
which charge, by the way, he cannot
sustain. 1t is the favOrite charge or
the demagOgue that everybody and
everything which do not line up with
his own particular views are under
| some sinister influence. While the
Landmark has expressed 40 preference
between the candidates for governor
and has no disposition to do 50, the
| u~tterances and acts of these candidates
| are Legitimate subjects for newspaper
criticism; and we trust that the people
of North Carolina will turf a deaf ear
to tho proposition that any man should
be elected to any office solely on the
ground that the corporations hate
/ him. While this paper would not favor
but would openly fight any nan it
believed to be under corporate infiu-
ence, it has no patience with men who
try to secure Office by playing on the
prejudices against corporations. Mr..
Kitchin is a man of ability and he
ought to pitch his campaign on a
higher plane.-Statesville Landmark.

Use from the chairman Of the military
he would agree to amendment of the
army appropriation bill In conference.
So Moore's Greek battle ground ap-
preparation became an accomplished
fact, due to the skill, energy and leg
islative tact of the representative OF
the Third district, aided by Senator
Overman in the senate.
At last session of the legislature
the member Of the legislature of Pen
der county, Hon. A. H. Wells Sc
cured an annual appropriation Of
$500 TO care for the monument and
grounds. When Mr.. Thomas secured
his appropriation in the army hill ne
did not cease his labors, but had the
money paid over at once to the gov
ernor of the state who transferred the
amount of five thousand dollars
(s5, 0OO) to the Mooree's Creek Monu-
mental Association under whose super
vision the work has been done. Mr..
Thomas also suggested and it met Wits
hearty approval of the association
hat from the surplus funds, after hav-
ing repaired the monument and im-
proved the grounds, there should be
erected a separate monument upOA
the battlefield in memory of heroic
women of the revolution, and ir
special memory of Mary SlocomD,
whose descendants are scattered all
over the district. 1t will be remem
bered that Mary Slocomb was the
patriotic woman who rode on horse
five miles to the battlefield to rescue
her husband, who she dreamed was
dead, and who nursed upon the day
after the battle the wounded and dy-
ing soldiers, returning as she came to
her home without an escort. The in
scriptions upon this monument, which
were prepared by the Wilmington
Colonial Danes, include one to Mary
Slocomb.
This is the first recognition, so fal
as we know, of the patriotic women
or the revolution, and the congress
man in conception of this ieda and
the Moore's Creek Monumental Asso-
citation in carrying it into execution,
deserve the thanks and praise of the
patriotic ONE Of North Carolina,
state, whose record was foremost in
the cause of liberty during the revolu-
ton, as in all subsequent wars OF the
county history.
Congressman Thomas deserves, and
will no doubt receive, the applause
and thanks of the women of his dis
trlct, as well as the men of the Cape
Fear section descended from its he
roic ancestry.
