From time immemOrial the welfare
of nations and the expansion of uni
cersal commerce, domestic and foreign,
has been due in a great measure, to tiee
inpeIling power of national and inter-
national worlds fairs. l shall here
outline briefly the evident stimulus
the jamestown exposition will put in
action to increase, in a general way.
the foreign trade of the United states.
and particularly that with Latin Amer
lean countries. and tending further
more to develop the mercantile rela-
tons of the United States.
In what we have learned to call
our own western hemisphere. in the
prehistoric times of America, fairs were
held by the native tribes of Mexico,
Central and South America, with the
exception, on this latter part of the
continent of the CARDS Guarani and
BasiIei who due to their migratory
and somewhat nomadic habits, had not
yet passed in the sixteenth century be-
You'd the primitive stages of aboriginal
barter.
The first American agricultural fair
was held in Washington in 1904. that is
to say, 1903 years ago. and was re-
peated every six months for period
Of years Since then the fair has be-
come Il recognized American institu-
ton.
Latin America Invited.
For the purpose of celebration the
r-centennial of the establishment OF
the first permanent English colony in
the northern half of the western hem
isphere, there will be held the James
town international exposition from
April 26 to November so of the pres
ent year. A special invitation was eX-
tended by the exposition management
to the governments and peoples of
Latin America to exhibit their great
natural wealth and manufactured pro-
ducts.
OF the twenty Latin American re-
publics, IS will be represented
either by delegations from their armies
and navies. or by creditable displays
of their natural resources. suitably
housed either in special buildings they
will erect for this purpose in a certain
portion of the exposition grounds, or
in separate booths in a convenient sec
ton that has been set apart to this eff
feet in one of the exposition buildings.
In the same manner as former expo
stions have stimulated the trade re-
lations of the United States with for
eign countries, the jamestown EXPOSE
tion-where all the agricultural. COM
mercial and industrial products of the
United States will be conveniently dis
played by practically all the states of
the federal uniOn--Will serve as an OBJ
ject lesson not only to the foreign dele
gates of the better cultured classes who
will attend the naval and military eel

there is one way to kill bad

that they will succumb to a flood

Charlie Richards, one of our
valued subscribers at Lewlsburg-

his subscription for another year,
says that the cool weather in
May kept the crops back there
as well as here. A big frost on
the 28th of May froze corn off to
the ground. Wages Is good but
hands scarce, and farmers have
much trouble IN getting neces.
sary help Charlie says that if
some of the Fulton county boys
who want work were to go out
there they would be surprised to
see how easy the labor is there
compared with whatltls here. To-
bacco raising is an important
part of farm work there, the av
erage crop to the farmer beng
about ten acres, although some

When a window is raised in a
railroad car, the person sitting
IN the seat behind is one who gets
most of the current of air that
rushes in; yet very few ever
think of asking that person if the
window raised brings discom fort.
There is great deal of thought
lessness of this kind and it is no.
ticeable that women are as great
offenders as men. A common
sight on tram is to see some
passenger siGtlng calmly by an
open window and in the seat be-
hind another passenger, perhaps
a woman with sickly child, vain
ly trying to protect herself from
the terrific draught, and with no
other place to go in the crowded
