happy suggestion and one that will
be approved by all progressive North
Carolinians. The past twenty years
have witnessed wonderful progress in

and the work has told in large ac-

the Spirit of Enterprise and Faith that
dominates the people literally from
Murphy to Manteo.
Let IS nave a Semi-Centennial Ex-
position-a Jubilee Exhibition two

1910. The time is ripe for showing
in concrete form practical evidences
of what the skill and energy Of the
people have wrought. It can be made
a mighty educator of North Cardinals
opportunities and a stimulus to greater
achievement by our own people and
will attract capital from progressive
men elsewhere.

and divert the people. young and old.
We have too few holidays IN Noftn
Carolina. We work too many lays
and take life too seriously. Except
at Christmas, most of the people go
along through the year without taxing
time for festival or holiday or recrea-
ton. The State Fair furnishes the an
'nual Autumn Harvest Festival to
which thousands of people LOO 1or-
ward from year to year. It's manage
ment has redeemed it from the ta1nt
of c~oarseness and gambling and Tricks
to swindle the unWary. In driving
out the unworthy shows that 1nfeSt
most Fairs, the management has been
alert to secure attractions that are Tar
more entertaining and more respecta-
BILE feats tina the fakirs ever furnish
ed.
The time was that some people de-
clared that fakirs and sWindlers were
necessary concomitants of a Fair. Ihe
State Fair at Raleigh has demon
strated that the people Of North Car
Dina patronize decency and will not

erly Haunted themselves at agricul-
tural exhibits. The State Fair has
prospered more since the exclusion OF
questionable attractions, and all good
people are glad to be justified in their
faith that the better the Fair and the
cleaner the attractions the larger the
attendance. This year the manage
ment promises the largest and most
varied attractions ever seen at the
State Fair. Something of what may
be expected is told elsewhere in to-
days paper.
Raleigh is in holiday attire, provid-
ing a hospitable welcome for all who
come to the capital city. The city be-
longs to the people Of the whole State
and those who live here all the time
wish all North Carolinians who come
to Raleigh to feel that they are com
ing to their own home. All homes are
open in Raleigh this week during the

on the outside.

THE DEsSPISED COTTON SEtED.

There was a time that the cotton
seed were regarded as of little value.
and the world owes q lasting debt Of
gratitude to Edward Atkinson. of BOS-
ton, who predicted thai the day would
come when the seed in a bale of cot
ton would be worth as much as the
lint cotton. That time has not yet ar
rived, but it is coming. The Sanford
Express Of yesterday says:
"A travelling man who is buying cot
ton seed for an oil mill, informed
The Express Saturday that he was
paying from so to 35 cents per bushei
for seed. He said they were higher
than he had ever known them this
early in the season before. An average
size bale of cotton, with the seed
thrown in, Will, at the present prices,
bring from $1,000 to $500"
Every day people are paying high
prices for Div oil, part of which is
made of our once-despised cotton
seed. We are finding out that cot
ton seed lard is healthier than hogs
lard and that cotton seed oil is as
good for many purposes as the olive
oil.
The despised cotton seed is bocom-
ing King of the cotton world and
bringing wealth to the South. We
have only begun to realize the value
of h South's monopoly of cotton.

Every year thousands of North car

ing State Fair week. They come 10
see the Fair, which opens on TUESDAY,
and promises to be the best in the ms

centennial next year. Many men anu
women have contracted the hablt o.

and it is really North Carolina's An

long separated arrange to nave re-
unions, where hundreds of parents ar
range to meet their children who are
at college, where farmers interested IN
agricultural development and in stock
raising come to see the exhibits n
to swap experiences, where young peo-
pie make it a trysting place, and where
young and old from a score and more

1t is really the Harvest Festival Of
North Carolina. The people come in
