aNOw For North Carolina"

"Now for North Carolina" will en-
body the wonderful story of the pro-
gress and enterprise of the Old North
State, and appear in the National
Magazine for June. So great and so
radical have been the changes during
the last generation that it requires
sixty-four pages to begin to do justice
to it's enterprise and prosperity of
today. The saying of Christ, that
ga prophet is not. without honor a v
in his w country" might be para
phrased today to the effect that "The
glories of a state are not without
admiration and honor abroad, while
not duly appreciated at home"
North Carolina is needed an empire
i'm itself. The coastal district, with
it's canals and lumber interests, has
always been associated in Northern
minds with the old schoolboy phrase
of "Tar. pitch and turpentlne." and
too little with the fisheries of the
great sounds and diversified produc-
tons of a light but generous sort.
Westward the great plateau district
and the mineral-bearing ranges sup
port prosperous towns and agricul-
tural valley hamlets, from which
many swift and clear rivers afford
waterways to the sea.
Many a European nation, great in
the annals of antiquity, has no proud
er record of mans bravery, woman's
beauty, diversified resources and var
led scenery than the Old North
State. The healing ozone of the pine
belt, where many thousands go to find
a new lease of life, the minerals and
quarries of the mountain lands, the
deposits of gold sapphire, mica and
iron, and the historical interests as
sociated with the early settlement of
a state where the first white child on
the American continent was born,
blend in the story of the old condi-
tons and new triumphs. From Roa-
noake to Asheville, from Elizabeth
City to Wilmington, in every section
and every direction, the older towns
are thriving. and new centers of pop
ulation are carrying diversified bust
ness and industries into hitherto
purely agricultural sections.
The farmers and farm population Of
North Carolina are increasing, and
the comparative isolation of planta-
ton days is passing away. With in
tensive farming and the progressive
manufacturing and municipal enter
nrise almost everywhere dominating,
the story. Now for North Carolina"
cannot fail to be of great interest to
every American. The cover design,

first adventures entered Croatan
Sound, makes a spirited and espec-
'a'ly a~nrronriate setting for the title
New for North Carolina" No one
who has ever lived Or been interest

in the June National a story to be
preserved as an up to date history
and appreciation of the great North
State. National Magazine.

Rrevard, April 28.-Policeman j.
A. Galloway and Deputy Sheriff Banks
Paxton yesterday started out on a
quiet hunt for blind tiger booze. 1t
seems that certain negroes have been
under suspicion for some time as
the ones who have been dispensing
the fiery liquid rather freely to GER
tain parties, most of whom boys and
young men of the town. When near
Selica the officers met two negroes in
a wagon, which contained a barrel.
They decided to do a little ~investigat-
ing with the result that they found
TIE barrell was full of a good grade
of booze. The negroes were arrested
and placed in the county jail. The
team has been turned over to the
revenue officers.
The negroes tell an interesting
of a blockade plant, which has
been in operation in the o part
of the county for some time. Eighty
gallons was the record Of sales for
Wednesday night, so they say. A
posse has gone to bring in the opera
tors.
