tires with Traveller Money.

London. July 29.-Having amassed a
snug fortune from the tips of princes and
American millionaires. whose confiden-
tial guide and adviser he has often been
during the last thirteen years, Mr. Rost.
the chief porter Of the Carlton Hotel. has
retired from his position and entered
upon a commercial career.
The fortune he has earped from his
tips alone, for he received no salary. he
has invested in land just south Of Lon

called for. has cut down its own pro-
duction Of opium three-fourths. I'm
portation from India in contrast has
diminished less than three-tenths.
And in India the use of opium, as
shown by statistics published in the
Times, OF India, Is increasing by leaps
and bounds. In the Bombay Presidency
alone the consumption Of the drug Is in
creasing at the rate Of thousands of
pounds per year. The Official statistics
for 1906 show that in the Bombay Presi-
dency 70,666 pounds Of opium were con-
sumed, and in the four succeeding years
74.554 pounds. s2.SO7 pounds, Ss,s1S pounds,
and 90.79 pounds.
The new Chinese Parliament by reso-
luton and great numbers Of Chinese
people by popular petition have called on
Great Britain to forthwith abolish all
imports of opium from India into China
In that case China promises that It will
root every poppy out Of Chinese soil in
one year.

Back Home
Movement
And What it Means to the
Southern States.


The back home movement,
inaugurated In North Carolina
and originated by w ID. Rob
crts. of the Cliuchticld Railroad
can be made to contribute more
TO the people of Virginia, North
Carolina and the South than
any other propaganda that has
been introduced in fifty years.
The proposition is simple one.
All that is necessary is for
every resident of the State to
show an interest in bringing
back the friends and relatives
that have gone out into other
territories to seek their fortunes
and a new home.
The railroads show an unusu
al interest by their hearty CO.
operation and Willingness TO
distribute literature abundantly
showing the unusual possibili-
ties that await homeseekers,
newcomers and rctu n &
friends who come down To help
us share IN the many bountles
that nave been extended 10 us
within the past ten years.

GOOD ROAD TRAIN

During the past week the Good

known as the Demonstration

Mrs. Gocdloe, Mrs, Irvine and
Mrs. kilbourn constitute the
committee.
Last year twenty five dollars
was voted for shade trees for
identifying our sidewalks. We
neglected ordering these trees
until too late. 4 motion was
carried that the trees be order

five dollars be added to the
original sum. These trees will
be planted from the Dummy

We will also call upon our city

planting of trees.

given the freedom of the ballot
