TO HAVE NORTH
CAROLINA DAY
DURING FAIR
GENERAL MANAGER LILLARD
ACCEPTS SUGGESTION OF FOR
MER NORTH cARoLINIAN AND
WILL ARRANGE TO SET ASIDE
DAY FOR THIS PURPOSE.

One of the novel features already
outlined for the Interstate Fair this
fall is the setting aside Of day to
be known as North Carolina Day.
This was decided upon by General
Manager Lillard upon receipt of let
ter from a prominent citizen of South
Alabama, who is a native Of North
Carolina. The attention Of the man
ager Of the fair association has been
called to the number of prominent peo-
pie in this section of the state who
are natives of North Carolina, and
after careful consideration of the mat
ter, Mr.. Lillard decided to accept the
suggestion offered in the letter and
this day will be arranged for.
The letter is from J. n. ellis, Of the
firm of ellis & Son, railroad contract
ors, Of Brewton, Ala, and is as fol-
lows:
Mr.. N j. LilIard. General Manager of
Interstate Fair Association, Pensa-
cola, Fla.
Dear Sir: Please pardon me for
any suggestion, but after talking with
many native North Carolinians, who
are in Florida, Alabama and Missis-
sipip. we think 1t would be a big time
and nice trip for us to have one day
at your fair.
There are thousands OF North Caro-
linians engaged in the naval stores,
lumber and other business. who would
meet their friends there and will say
there will be a large crowd.
Would be glad to hear from you
on the subject.

Curious Anticipations.

Many peculiar anticipations have
been cited against patent applications.
At one time congressman took the
patent Office lock invented by one of
his rural constituents. The lock was
an exact copy Of lock figured in
Price on Locks" showing the lock
used on gate of ancient Thebes, thou
sands Of years before Christ. The con-
gresham, after examining the illustra-
ton which was shown him by one Of
the officers, exclaimed that he didn't
care who that fellow in Thebes was
he certainly stole it from his constitu-
emit On another occasion an applica-
ton for patent was fled for a flower
basket whose construction correspond
ed in detail with the Scriptural descrip-
ton of the ark in which Moses was
placed in the bulrushes. which we are
told in the second chapter Of Exodus
was an ark of bulrushes daubed with
slime and with pitch. This is also
probably the first recorded instance of
REINFORCED concrete structure. Sci

MARINE JUNKMEN.

Carrier Snails Load Their Backs With
All Sorts Of Refuse.
The carrier snail is to the sea what
the junkman is to the land. 1t re-
ceives its name from its habit Of car
rying foreign objects on its back.
Nothing comes amiss to the carrier
snail If 1t is not too big. CASTOR shells
Of small mollusks, bits of broken coral,
tiny stones and even fragments Of
broken glass dropped overheard from
passing vessels are cemented firmly to
the edges of the growing shell, nor is
this curious creature satisfied when
the shell is completely covered, but
continues to add to its collection by
fastening new pieces to the old ones
already piled upon its back until 1t is
no longer able to move beneath its bur-
den.
As it is an inhabitant Of tropical wa
tiers swarming with voracious fish,
crabs. etc, there is method In its mad
ness. Its hungry enemies pass it by,
unable to distinguish it from the rocks
and shells on the sea bottom. Some Of
the snails show preference for tiny
pebbles all of one shape and equal size,
others accumulate only shells of one
kind, and one picked up OF the coast
Of Japan had its portable house entire
