MISSIONARY INSTITUTE.
A Woman's Missionary Institute
conducted by the Executive Com
mittee Of the Woman's Central Com
mittee of Missions, of Raleigh, N.
c., was held in conjunction with the
Association, thereby adding interest
to both meetings. The following
accomplished and interesting speak
ers were In attendance and made ad-
dresses that were helpful, instruct
ing and entertaining Miss Mary K.

the Young Woman's Auxiliary, a
former resident Of Scotland Neck,
was among the speakers. She spoke
on Young Woman's Missionary
Ambitions" and also on Young
Woman's Auxiliary of North Caro-
lima"
The addresses of Miss Applewhite
were intensely practical and helpful,
inspiring the young women to more
earnest and jealous work and to
greater achievements. Her talk
on Young Woman's Auxiliary was
especially interesting the same being
illustrated by charts worked out by
objects illustrative of the Young
Woman's Work. The numerous
friends and admirers of Miss Apple
white spoke most fiatteringly of her
efforts.
ADDRESS BY MRS. HIGHT c. MOORE.
One of the most helpful addresses,
showing great originality of
thought and careful preparation, was
the address of Mrs. Hight C. Moore,
of Raleigh, the Corresponding Sec
rotary of The Woman's Work in

Her subject was '"The Aim of the
North Carolina Societies, practical
problems and training in Scripture
and Prayer" Mrs. Moore is pos

Unclaimed Gold.

The optimism of the Elk City Mining News, which
represents Idaho county in part, is exciting, When
it mentions strip that is literally paved with gold
it likely to attract earnest attention to the favored
region of the Salmon river of the north. The story
of the Mining News follows:
The discovery of rich placer ground by Joe Eakn
his ranch Salmon river the ground, to all
appearances once having marked the course of the
stream, recalls the fabulous stories of wealth of the
river and the many schemes that have been under
taken to recover the gold bydredgng processes Min
ing men and scientists believe the Salmon river to
be of natures richest Suce boxes literally paved
with the yellow metal that has broken off of lodges
and been washed by the river for ages past. Some
of the richest deposits of gold found in the
have been found in the eddies and shallow places in
the Salmon, and Salmon City and other towns the
river their existence chiefly to the reward of
persons who look for the pockets" of gold in the
Salmon river.
The old familiar scene of prospectors Quitting
for summers trip into the hills has been more in
evidence the STREETS of Elk City and around the
stores the past week than at any time during the
season. The bad weather has delayed the work of
the prospecor but the district will profit in the work

Canada's New Seaport.

New York Tribune: 1t has been definitely estab-
lished that the dangerous Hudson Strait, through
which ships must pass in getting from Hudson Bay to
the Atlantic, is safely navgabe from the list of July
to the latter weeks of October, and that only trlvl
al amount of dredging and lighthouse building is
needed to prepare the whole long stretch from the
Fort Churchill docks to the open for oceangong
frieghters While an open season not exceeding four
months may seem altogether too brief to make navi-
CATION profitable to any body, number of facts
held to prove the contrary This is the argument:
In the first place. the inestmabe advantages accur-
ing to all Canada through the development of the
rich grain, stock, and coal lands of the Northwest
will amply warrant heavy ship subsidies more than
offsettng the possible losses to ship through
winter dleness Although the population of the
northwest is still relatively small the money its
farmers would save by shipping via the proposed line
instead of over the costly rail route to Montreal
would doubtless more than defray the required sub
sides. In the second place, the enormous size OF
Canadian crops would III a short time make the
freight business at Fort Churchill titantic and al
most as profitable as that of Duluth Montreal; the
extreme of handling and storing bulk freight
chiefly grain in this case, would enable shippers and
carriers to utilize every minute OF the four open
months-nonths, too, whose days have over eighteen
hours of sunlight. Again, vessels westbound would
not have to sail with empty huls, for every variety
of merchandise which Europe now supplies to west
ern Canada could be brought quickly and
cheapy via Fort Churchill, because this port is
nearer Liverpool than is Montreal
If these predictions justified they mean that
Winnipeg, Manitoba, would be brought as to
European markets as Buffalo is 1t may be
added that the remarkable chain of lakes and rivers
in the northwest would doubtless be pressed into
vice eventually, and that the estimated cost Of the
entire rail and ship scheme is only $30000000. If
the Canadian government starts the work this SUM
the American farmers may soon be pouring
northward into Alberta, Assinboia, and Manitoba at
even more alarming rate than 100000 year"

TIME TO GET BUSY.

There is no denying the fact that
Mr.. Bryan's chances for election APP
pear to have been strengthened ma
terially during the last few weeks.
An immense corruption fund has
been placed at his disposal by Stand
ard Oil interests, which can see no
! hope of favors from Taft but have
every right 10 expect that Bryan's
elastic mind can as easily figure out
protection for the Rockefeller mill
! lions as il has in the past figured out
various and divers other lightning
changes in front for the astute Ne
braskan.
Anyhow, there is chance with
Bryan, and no show on earth for the
law eyading trusts with Taft at the
head of the next administration. Fur
Their than which. with Bryan elected
president, the trusts would need en-
terrain no fear of revision of the tar
if for four years more. That all i'm
portant work, to the masses, would
he sidetracked by the election of
Bryan, for a Republican senate and
a Democratic lower house. which
would be almost certain in the event
of sufficient Democratic strength be-
ing developed to elect Bryan. would
never be able to get together on a
tariff revision measure, and If they
did, Bryan could not be looked TO
TO accept the compromise measure
when it came to him for acceptance
or veto.
So stands in hand the evading
trusts, to whom tariff revision looks
as a death sentence, to get Bryan
through if they possibly can. Under
the cloak of a popular dollar sub
scription. really one of the most as
tute political jobs ever evolved by
the Bryan dome of thought, and
sprung at most suspicious time to
serve the purpose for which designed,
the trusts have come in with an enor-
nous campaign fund. headed by a
5000. 900 Rockefeller subscription.
Thus strengthened with the real sim
ews of war. the Bryan campaign has
moved in the last week with steadily
gaining force and it is growing evil
dent that the last few weeks of the
campaign are likely to go into his
tory as among the hottest in the his
tory of the country.
The situation is one that Republi-
cans can no longer ignore. They
have the fight of their lives on hand.
Time has been called on apathy and
over confidence. II they are going to
win It is up to them to work without
rest from now until the polls close
on November 3, in every precinct,
county and state. No bet, in the
light of late developments, is too
small to overlook when it comes to
getting votes this campaign. Every
one that can be mustered may he
