THE STATE EXPOSITION.

There seems to be some
standing about the resolution OF the
State Agricultural! Society looking to
a great two weeks exhibit next year.
as the following from the Greensboro
Record shows:
Raleigh is going to hold a two
weeks fair next year. Why not start
in now and make it q kind or expos
ton like hat held in 1884? This dld
more good than anything that had
been done uD to that time. II drew
attention to the States n
advertised it as never before. The
good accomplished then still lives
The wise suggestion OF the Record
harmonizes with the view OF those
who conceived the plan which has
beer approved. There is no need for
a two weeks Fair-a few days suffice
for that. The need ts for g compre-
hensiye State Exposition that shall
do for the next twenty years what
the State Exposition did for North
Carolina in 1884. That Exposition,
the Record truly says. drew at
tention to the States resources and
advertised it as neyer before II
the good it accomplished then still
lives" One of the best results Of that
Exposition was that it also acquaint-
ed the people of the State with them
selves, II what they had accom-
plished since War and Reconstruc-
ton. They were surprised to see
what they had wrought.
We haVe now come to q time in the
life of the Commonwealth when. COM
pared to 1884, the State has become
rich and has grown so remarkably as
to enable it to make an object lesson
of its progress that will advertise it
to the whole world and likewise slim
ulate the new and more vigorous spirit
OF enterprise that now dominates the
State. An Exposition that will be as
elaborate an object lesson of what
the State is doing in 1910 as the 1884
Exposition was an object lesson OF
achievements in 1854 will be some
thing that will be rs worthy Of the
State as it will be beneficial to every
industry and calling.
The following from Or. Hubert a.
Register, President of the Chamber Of
Commerce, embraces the suggestion
of making the occasion one for a
Home Coming of North Carolinians
abroad, is expressive Of the general
feeling OF approval Of a big State EN-
position in 1910:
To the Editor: The proposition to
hold a State Exposition next year
meets with my most hearty cGnlmen-
datiOn. 1t viii undoubtedly prove
successful and of great benefit to the
State and to the city of Raleigh.
Many OF our own t~OWnSpeople do not
attend the annual Fair at all. because
in the limited time Of three days it
is m~conNenient to get the opportunity
While pressed with their daily bust
ness. The same thing applies to peo-
pie i'll all parts OF the State. Two
weeks will make u big difference in
The attendance. In connection With
this semi-centennial / would suggest
a Home Coming week for all North
CarolInlans, who now live in other
parts Of the country.

This is the first shipment of large drove of cattle that Mir. Wetzler has sold to the Los Angeles packing houses, the remainder of which will be gathered and shipped within the next month, going forward at the rate of about ten cars to the ship ment. Stockmen generally are now bringing their cattle in to the pens where they are being loaded for shipment, the greater portion of this years cattle going east owing to the better prices offered by the eastern packers.
