HUDSON-FULTON CELEBRATION

One of the most elaborate celebra-
lions ever witnessed in this country
is now taking place on the Hudson
River, in New York, in honor of Hen
ry Hudson and Robert Fulton. It
was three hundred years ago that
Henry Hudson sailed into the mouth
of the river that now bears his name,
and a little over one hundred years
since Robert Fulton invented the
steamboat, the success of which was
first demonstrated in the Hudson
River.
A complete replica of the Half
moon" in which Hudson sailed, and
of the "Clermont," with which Full
ton demonstrated his remarkable in
vention, have been made and are
playing conspicuous part in the cell
ebration began Saturday and which
is being attended daily by enormous
crowds.

BRYAN AND BAILEY TO MEET.

Young Mems Democratic League
of Atlanta, Ga, have invited Hon.
W. j. Bryan and Senator Joseph
Bailey, of Texas, to meet In that
city some time next month for the
purpose of discussing the tariff is
sue in joint debate. Senator Bailey
has wired his acceptance and has in
vited Mr.. Bryan to meet him. Mr..
Bryan was not at home Tuesday and
has not been heard from, but the
chances are that he will accept
Bailey's challenge. Bryan and Bailey
have divergent views On the tariff
question. When Bryan was in Texas
some days ago he took occasion to
throw some hot shot at Mr.. Bailey
for his position on the tariff ques-
ton, and Mr.. Bailey is anxious to
meet Mr.. Bryan on the same plat
form. II the meeting is arranged
there Is hardly any doubt but that
the show will be worth the price of
admission. Just what good is to be
accomplished from a spirited debate
between the two Democratic leaders,
we cannot see-however, it isn't our
funeral, and we will calmly await
the results.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

We are glad to note that there is
general movement throughout the
State for good roads. We trust that
the movement will gather momentum
and that in few years we shall have
good roads in every county in the
State. They are, of benefit to the
farmer and merchant alike. The far
mer wants good roads over which to
haul his produce and will naturally
go to the town that has the best
roads leading out from it. Another
important feature that cannot be
overlooked is the rural free delivery
OF mail. The service has proven a
great boon to the rural districts. but
the service is liable to be abolished
at any time where the roads are not
kept in good condition.

NATIONAL CONGRESS.

Raleigh is preparing TO give a
grand welcome to the Farmers Ma
tional Congress when they gather in
on November 18th for their
annual convention.
About one thousand delegates are ex-
pected to be In attendance, besides a
of visiting farmers. Among
the delegates will be some of the
most distinguished experts and sci
entists in the various branches oil
agriculture and horticulture In the
United States. The Agricultural anC
Mechanical College will be head
quarters for the delegates and the
Congress will hold its sessions in the
Pullen Auditorium.
The Norfolk Landmark, comment
ing on the coming event. says:
Raleigh is making extensive
preparations for the welcome
and entertainment of the Farm
ers' National Congress, which
will meet in annual convention
In North Cardinals capital city
during the first week in Novem-
Der. This is one of the oldest
and largest farmers organiza-
tions in the country, and to be
selected as the place Of the an
nual meeting has come to be
considered high honor for the
city and State obtaining 1t.
North Carolina is not only SO
honored this year, but to that
Commonwealth belongs the ad-
ditional distinction of holding
the presidency of Congress in
the person Of one of her most
prominent citizens-Col. Bene-
han Cameron.
"The convention to be held in
Raleigh in November will be the
twenty-ninth annual meeting Of
the Congress, and the fifth held
in the South. Usually about
thirty States are represented at
these conventions and the num-
Der of delegates registered is
about $50. At last years ses-
sion, held at Madison, Wis, the
number was LOO, and at the
last three meetings the average
has been about 1000. The Ra-
leigh meeting, however, is ex-
pected to eclipse all previous
ones both in attendance and
in the interest attaching to
the proceedings. Governors of
many States have appointed
delegates and large delega-
lions will come from the
Western States and even from
the Northwest. Oklahoma's rep
resentation Is said to be so num-
| erous that a special train will
be necessary to transport it.
. The Governors of five States
have already signified their in
tention to be present and the
convention will be addressed by
many of the most prominent
men in the various walks of life
In different sections of the coun-
try.
Both North Carolina and the
Farmers Congress are to be con-
| gratulated-the former upon
the honor of entertaining so
| prominent and important gath
ering; the latter upon the OBJ
portunity to visit North Caro-
lima and partake of the hospital
1ty of the Old North State. That
| the occasion will be pleasant and
profitable to both goes without
| saying"
