Locke Craig is a member of the First
Baptist church in AsheYille and is also
aD active worker in the Church. He
is very popular with the young men
and is the teacher of the Baraca class
with a large membership. In addition
to teaching the class Locke Craig has
always found time to enjoy many Lit

In addition to his law practice
Locke Craig is a farmer. Gut few
miles from Asheyille in the valley, he
has a delightful farm property and
nothing gives him more pleasure than
to tell his friends of the doings on the
farm He has succeeded in making
good crops and especially of corn and
hogs. Recently he disposed of his
AsheviIle home and it is announced
that he will build a home on the farm
when his term of Office has expired
that with his wife and boys he vii
go back to the beautiful valley Of the
SWannanoa and make his home. This
decision was the source of much de-
light to the people of the West for they
do not wish to lose permanently from
their section the present GoVer13r-
they have simply loaned him to tie
State for four years.
!. On one of my trips to Asheziile, /
went to find the Office of Mr.. CTs jig.
1t is not located in the most attractive
Office building. In keeping with the
modesty of the man is his law Office.
The building stands on the corner of
une of the principal streets of the
charming capitol of the land of the
Sky" The entrance is narrow
hallway and the Offices of Craig, Mar
tin and Thompson are on the top floor,
in the corner of the building. Here /
found an old-fashioned elevator, just
about big enough for three passen-
gers. An old TINY negro stands at at
tention and as I entered the elevator,
1 asked him If could go to Mr.. Craig's
office. With digity, he calmly remind
ed me of the presence of the Governor.
Ee said,
"The GUNNER is not in just now,
Sir, but he'll be in directly"
I waited a bit and returned and the
old man remembered and smiled and
said, "The GUNNER is in his Office,
Sir" Later I had little converse
ton with the negro. / suggested that
Mr.. Craig was a good man. The face
frightened. The man smiled and
smiled big.
'"The GUNNER is the best and the
biggest man in the worl'."
In the Office was struck with the
There was no red tape.
I was welcome So was every other
man who called and they were contin-

They called him Governor" and they
called him Locke He knew them

With a record of 100000 tons of
freight unloaded from 1S,400 vessels

fully called the greatest commercial
port in continental Europe. Because of
her location on the Elbe river at the
junction of the Alster and the Billie,
her river frontage and docks are meas,

almost 25 miles of dockage furnishes
an area of 100000 square feet, which
is reserved for handling package
freight alone, and an extension of 40.-
900 linear feet is now being built.
Other quays are provided for bulk
cargoes that are unloaded directly into
cars, lighters, or warehouses, and an
unloading crane has been installed for
every IS feet of quay. Among others
there are $50 three-ton ship cranes, OPP
Grated by steam or electricity from d
municipal power plant. 100 electric
travelling cranes, number of huge
double cranes, and several 75-ton Ham
mer-type cranes which pick up cars
and empty them bodily into ships

wide, and their switch tracks connect
them with railways, running to every
part of Europe.
From the harbor to the open sea. SO
miles away, the old 15-foot channel

GOLDEN MILE OF KALGooRLIE
Stretch OF Territory Has Features
That Are Probably Unique in
Worlds History.

Kalgoorlie and Boulder, considerable
Hannah scratched out his nuggets in
the early days, are noisy with life and
ambition; and as long as the Golden
Mile fiourishes to sustain them they
will continue to thrive and aspire in
spite Of the immensely and horrible
character of the desert land which
isloates them from rivers and fertile
places and the bounty of kindly soil.
They run with the times; they pro-
vide themselves with comforts; they
amuse themselves; they are adorned;
they regard their duty to the state and
consider the future of their children's

good humor with its behavior; and the
affection of the directors would be

IL a responsive good conduct should
increase even this gratifying yield to

Golden Mile and its lesser neighbors
of Kalgoorlie-the big shows, as dis

country, which are called little shows
employ 5000 men and produce e3.-

which the Golden Mile is situated has
from the first days of the Kalgoorlief
rush, 20 years ago, produced almo
6 56,000,000, which, stated more
pressively in dollars, amounts to $2SA

How INSECTS Acquire Caste,

The various castles of social insects
have different appearance. but it has
been supposed that they are alike on
leaving the egg, and develop their pc
culiar characteristics artificially
through differences in feeding or the
action of parasites. Seeking to learn
when the different forms of termites,
or white ants, begin, Professor Bug
MON of Paris concludes that this the
DRY is wrong. Among the several
castles of this insect, the soldiers are
wingless and have very strong man
dibles, and the workers, which build
and bring food, have different form,
but neither reproduce, The caste
known as reproducers, on the other
hand, with special development, ap-
pear to perform no part except perpet-
uating the species. The investigation
made with a number of species shows
that the peculiarities of form exist in
newly Matched insects, and that there

the sexes, takes place before the
