which II is connected by numerous
caravan routes.
The chief domestic exports are wool.
oil and cattle, while from the interior
of Africa come gold. ostrich feathers.
ivory, rubber and a few other tropical
products. Importation to the country
is conducted largely thru the city OF
Tripoli. which is the center of foreign
commerce.
Numerous Fertile Spots.
The country. while exposed to the
clouds of sand fro mthe deserts has
numerous fertile spots. These are To-
Gated mainly along the wadis. The
country has no permanent rivers. its
water coming from innumerable
springs and pools which form during
the rainy season.
Owing to the scarcity of productive
land Tripoli has been but slightly de-
veloped. Its climate is hot during the
summer, but during the winter the
coasts are occasionally covered with
snow, while in the interior the winter
is marked by copious rains.
Tripoli. with Fezzan and Barca, have
been divided into four provinces by
Turkey. These are administered by
beys, who are appointed by the COVER
nor. A considerable military force has
been maintained, necessitated by the
frequent political outbreaks.
Passes to the Romans.
Tripoli early formed a portion of the
territory of the Carthaginians. 1t next
passed to the Romans, who gave 1t the
name of Regio Syrtica. In the third
century it became known as Regio
Tripolitana, from whence arose the
present name of Tripoli.
Later it passed into the hands OF the
NaDdals and Greeks, and in the seventh
century was conquered by the Arabs.
The feeble christianity Of the natives
was then supplanted by the vigorous
and fanatical Mohammedanism.
In 1910 the City of Tripoli was cap
tured by Ferdinand. the Catholic. From
1880 to 1851 1t was held by the Knights
Of ST. John. Since 1851 the country has
formed part of the Turkish empire, tho
the authority OF the sultan down to
1885 has been virtually at zero for more
than century.
Stronghold Of Pirates.
During this period Tripoli was
piratical stronghold. In consequence 1t
was attacked by successive expeditions
Of the English and French.
In 1S01-1S05 it was involved In an
unsuccessful war with the United
States. and in 1915 an American ex-
petition exacted reparation for injuries
done to American commerce.
In 1885 an expedition was dispatched
to Constantinople, and the ruling hey,
Karamanli. was oseTthrown and I'M
prisoned. A new Turkish pasha, with
vice regal powers. was then appointed
and the state made a vilayet.
In 1872 and 1874 the natives rebelled.
but in both instances Turkey suppress
ed the revolutions.

THE GARDEN OF THE STATE.

The strawberry crop of Eastern
North Carolina this year brought
more thar a million dollars into the
State. The richest land in North Caro-
lima is IN Eastern North Carolina and
It has not been brought into market
in that section north of the Atlantic
and North Carolina, largely because OF
the lack Of transportation and for the
lack Of drainage. The building or the
Norfolk Southern Railway now TO De
followed by the drainage of Mattamu-
skeet Lake. and the construction OF
the Mattamuskeet railroad to Wash
ington, mean that the best market
garden Of the State is TO be fully de-
veloped.
The Norfolk Southern Railway
owns more than 200, 600 acres Of land
in Eastern North Carolina, and but for
its litigation that delayed develop
ment this progressive system would
| have developed much Of it. In the re-
the Norfolk Southern was for
tunate in receiving as it's Chief Counsel
a gentleman who adds to power legal
ability through knowledge Of Eastern
North Carolina, and it's land and great
faith in the big future of that section.
AS a young mar Col. w. 3. Rodman,
who resigns his position in the legal
department of the Southern Railway,
to become Chief Counsel Of the Nor
folk Southern, surveyed thousands
Of acres Of land in the territory reach
ed by the road and knows that section
and it's land and agricultural possibili-
ties better than any attorney in the
State. The has in view the
development of it's own lands and the
lands Of others in it's territory and in
his great work it has in it's Chief
Counsel a gentleman whose knowledge
and enthusiasm in the future of East
ern North Carolina will be a great
help to the system and to the develop
ment of that rich section now upon
the threshold of a great future. :

SWAT THE FLIES.

There is no campaign so important
as, the campaign against the fly that is
now going on throughout the country.
It is only in recent years that we have
learned to regard the m flies as
the carriers of disease. Heretofore we
have thought Of them as nuisances
rather than the propagandists of dis
ease. We could afford to be tolerant
when the fly was supposed to be only
a nuisance, but now that we know-he
is q peril to health we must carry on
a war of determination. An exchange
puts the fly evil thus strongly:
"A fly in a house is as dangerous as
a rattlesnake, as filthy as a louise, dis
graceful as a bedbug. The time will
come when any modern, Clearly home
will feel itself ashamed and disgraced
by the presence of a fly, and when
every housekeeper upon whose prem
Uses a brood of flies is detected will
be fined heavily and sent to Jail"
Elsewhere in today's paper appear
a valuable statement by State Ento-
mologist Smith. who has given much
study to the breeding Of fies. He
tells how to prevent breeding, thus
meeting the evil at the source, and he
also points out how to kill the flies
His advice is not the result Of any
theory. but is based upon his practi-
cal Investigations and experiments
The authorities should require all sta
bIes and dairies to prevent breeding Of
flies, and all families should try the
method Dr.. Smith for poison
ing these spreaders Of disease.

THE "GOOD TRUST"

The information that has been elicit
ed in the investigation of the steel
trust by the House committee has
been been valuable. although neither
Mr.. Morgan nor Mr.. Roosevelt have
yet been examined. The testimony OF
Judge Gary, head Of the steel trust.
brought out the fact that when the
United States Steel Corporation was
formed the subsidiary had
a capitalization Of 1858, 5S3,6 but
the holding company was capita lized
at $1,s21,S7e,136, with bonds Of the
United States Steel and the Subsidiary
companies amounting to s596.351.ss6
1t was also brought out that there en-
tered into the capitalization the sum

THE SOCTH-S MONOPOLY IN
COTTON.

For years. when Southern cotton
planters have organized to urge the
cotton growers not to plant big crops,
so as to enable the buyers to take
their crops at a song, they have been
told that if they restricted production
they would induce European coun-
tries to spend money to grow cotton
in India and elsewhere and thus make
a competitor in the growing of cotton
That bug-a-boo has been paraded Pc
~riodically, but has frightened no WELL
informed man. England and coun-
tries on the continent have exhausted
every effort to grow cotton in their
possessions, and will do ali they can
to open new fields to the production
Of cotton. But the South has q mon
opoly in the climate and soil and
other conditions necessary to grow tie
sort Of cotton the world needs.
The English Fine Cotton Spinners'
Association has purchased $1,000
acres of and in the Mississippi Delta
on which they will grow cotton. Else
where is printed in full the reasons Civ
en- for this purchase. The Association
believes hat the world needs moro
cotton than will be raised and hat
they can make money raising this cot
ton. AS to raising cotton
than in the South the committee says
that while it has no objection 70 e1-
periments being made all over the
world" it has become convinced thae
apparently it is almost Impossible to
TAX any particular kind of cotton
from one country and make it grow
we'll in another, and it appears to be
a law Of nature that cotton To be
grown satisfactorily has to be deVel-
oped in a particular climate and a
particular SOIL" Therefore. seeing that
experiments elsewhere than in the
South cannot bring any very quick
or immediate benefit to an existing
cotton business" they have determ-
ined to buy an immense body OF cot
ton land on the Mississippi Delta ana
