"THE TOURIST CROP

- - ~ iNIb) v ltOt
Lenoir News:
The News has from time to
time referred to the fact that
visitors and tourists contribute
one OF the most proita BILE assets
that our mountain country can
prod uce.
The present season, just clos.
ing, has proven our con tention
to he true. We are in d position
to give some conservative fig
ures along this line that amply
Isubstantiate the statement. A
conservative estimate will place
the number oI visitors and tour
lists going to Blowing Rock and
other places in the mountains,
hy way OF Lenoir, at 5000 be-
tween the first of May and t II q
first OF September. The amount
OF money expended by each of
these visitors, including hack
fare to and from the mountains
from Lenoir, will easily average
OF $50, thus making a total OF
800, 900. This money all come s
from people who live in other
parts of the country, and it
means Ii direct addition to our
local circulating medium of that
sum. This is one very valuable
feature. Then the money is put
Immediately into circulation a.
mong the native people for labor
supplies etc., and thus is agreAt
stimulus to business of all kinds
In the vicinity BlowingRock
all kinds OF vegetables, poultry,
eggs, butter, etc. have brought
better prices this summer than
ever before. owing to the blg de-
mand created by the number oil
visitors summering there.
Many Of the farmers and 9th
ers in that vicinity have made
good money off of things that
would haye gone to waste had
there been no active market at
hand, such as wascreated by the
visitors. How many years of
hard, slayish work will it take
in the same omail territory. to
bring in 800, 900 for lumber in
to which the GO l-given trees are
being so wasteiully cut? Then
wh' II the trees are cut the eli
mate is changed, the scenery de-
stroyed, and if perchance t h q
$lO0, 900 is left in our country It
is mainly in the hands of t h e
Wholesale dealers and not in the
hands of the men who cut the
trees and haul the lumber.
We had better turn our atten-
tions to making good roads and
bride paths through our forests
and let the trees stand to beauti-
fy the scenery and thus increase,
year by year, this most impor-
tant apd profitable Tourist
Crop.
If with, our present facilities
and the small efforts made to
bring people among us. we get
5000 visitors during the space
of four months a systematic and
bnsiness-like preparation a n d
effort or the part OF all the peo-
pie will bring the number up to
10000 with five times the income
from it. Nature has done her
part in giving us the unsurpass-
ed climate and scenery and if we
will do our part by protecting,
improving and advertising, what
we have, the harvest is sure and
certain.

REMEMBER (rHE) MAINE.

Ia.
Nows and Observer.
The cry Of Remember t h e
Maine" that was on every tongue
after the sinking OF the L S Bat
tleahip Maine in Havana har-
Dor caused thousands OF Amrri-
cans to volunteer in the Spanish.
American War. The determina-
ton to avenge the sinking of he
Maine was SO strong that no in
huence could stay the avenging
hand. Remember Che Maine
was the shibboleth in Cuba, in
Porto Rico, in the Philippines
and wherever American volun-
teers were risking their lives.
In 1910, from the Kennebec to
the Rio Grande, the slogan from
now until the eighth OF Novem-
her will be Remember Maine"
The Pine Tree State, which under
Blaine and Reed and Frye a n d
Hale has the staunchest Repub-
lican State in t he American un-
ion, is the first State to register
u crushing verdict against t h e
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill and the
Taft administration. "Remem.
ber the Maine" was born OF a
national resolve that Spain and
all nations should forever know
that American ships and Ameri-
can sailors would be protected
to the last dollar and the last
man. But war against these who
sunk the Maine did not touch To
hurt every home in America as
has the robher Payne-Aldrich
tariff law, undrr which business
stagnation and excessive cost of
living have invaded every home
not solely for the support OF
an extravagant government bnt
chiefly for the enrichment of the
overgrown rich. Under that act
and other laws, the hand OF the
PriyileLe e has been permitted to
thrust itself into the pocket OF
every man and woman, and Fa.
voritism and Privilege instead OF
Justice and Equality have con-
trOlled the national administra.
ton The Maine Republicans,
| like. the Massachusetts and New
York Republicans resolved to
riush the powers responsible Tor
this robbery of the many for the
enrichment of the few, and they
voted the Democratic ticket, re.
garding thai party as at pres
ent the only instrument through
which reform can be secured

ARE THEY SHORT MEASURE?
Merchants Charge injustice in Rul-
ing on Strawberry Boxes.

Some of the grocers in two or
three towns of Kansas, particularly
Lawrence and Abilene, have been
arrested by the representatives Of
the board of health for alleged fall
ure to comply with the regulations
regarding advertised weight OF straw
berries. The instructions Of the
board seem open to misconstruction'
and the dealers arrested, complain
that the action taken is mere perse-
cution. The Lawrence Journal prints
the following letter from one of the
largest growers in the state:
Editor Journal:
There are at present many high
toned object lessons going on in the
state, under the direction of the
board of health. In the matter OF
berry boxes they have stirred up
quite nest of germs. The boxes
in use now are the same that have
4 been in use for the past many years,
and give good satisfaction. / have
grown berries for the past forty years
in this state, and never knew a box
of berries with a false bottom, and
the charge that such are found on
the market seems to me like an ex-
cuse for the persecution going on to
earn this board of living. If any,
one is guilty of such a small dishon-
esty, he should be barred from the
markets for a year at least, and II
such a charge is made without foun-
dation of fact, the person should be
dismissed from the service OF the
state. This board requires that each
berry box shall be marked with the
amount each box holds If less than
a quart, and mark 1t ga quart. This
falsifier on the face of every box,
The boxes used are the Leslie VINE
or LIQUID measure quart box, hold
ing 81 "a inches, which is short less
than Is of quart, dry measure
Yet they must be marked on every
box, If on every crate the work would
not be so laborlous, and the public
would know as well what amount
they are buying, before as after the
marking, asd better, because they
now are led to pay for more than
they bargain. Every grower and
dealer that thus makes false state
ment on the face of every box, be-
comes a mendacious falsifer at the
behest Of the state board OF health
Herein is my protest to such a crime
Dealers and growers are arrested
put to expense and shame, on ac'
count of foolishness in requiring
boxes to be marked wrong, when
no one but the board complain and
they without Just cause. A dry meas
ure quart holds 81 -1-O cubic inches
to a quart, a Wine measure quart
holds SIX in:1c' per quart 'nd
that is the amount they might be
required 10 marx them, and be
truthful, honest citizens. hut %
mark them z quart is false mark
ing and the board ought to know
better A. H. GRIEsA.

FISHING TIME IN THE PASlG
Swimming In Myriads Near Surface
They Are Shared and Speared
by Fllipinos.

Friday morning Filipinos sharing
cells and other fish in the Pasig near
the old captain of the port building by
the aid of fish snares caught the
largest eel ever seen on the water
front. 1t was fully ten feet in length.
Both banks Of the Pasig and all the
ships and lighters moored In the
stream were thronged with hundreds
OF Fflipinos with snares and spears
trying to catch the fish that in myri-
ads were swimming near the surface
of the stream.
Natives when asked in regard to
the phenomenon were almost unani-
mously in their statement to the eff
feet that at this time of the year the
bottom of the river gets hot and that
the fish have to leave the depths of
the stream and flash back and forth
on or near the surface.
Another theory that seemed to have
q great many adherents was to the eff
feet that at this time every year
there was a change in the character
of the water, this change acting on
the fish as a stimulant
This theory was advanced by an old
pilot who has witnessed the phenome-
non for many PENNSYLVANIA Times.

GROWING COUNTRIES.

The census department of Canada
estimates the present population of
the Dominion to be 100000. The dis
tribution by sections is: Maritime
provinces, 1,037,112; Quebec, $685.
461; Ontario, 2,619,025; Western prov
inces, 1871, 1854; unorganized terri
tories, $500 1t Is not surprising that
Canada. with her many resources and
her healthful climate and varied OPP
portunities for industrial wealth-seek-
ers, should grow all the time, says the
Mexican Herald. A sturdy race which
increases by the excess of births over
deaths is continually being enforced
by immigration, and that of the best
kind. The consuming power OF the
population of Canada is very large,
and accounts for the heavy importa-
tions of foreign goods and the excel
lent support given to home industries.
Argentina, with about a million less
population than Canada, is rapidly In
creasing in wealth. 1t Is interesting
to see that the influx of immigrants
into this country from Spain con-
tinues, just as it does in the case of
Cuba and Argentina The ancient
Iberian motherland still breeds a
sturdy race which send its sons to
former colonies.
