Mr.. g. W. Tillett, Of Cha rlotte,
has not won q reputation as a
poet, and indeed. We do not know
that he has ever written any
verse, but he has written a prose
poem which is as fine q piece oi
literature as the State can boast
OF in q long time, and it il too
good not to receive the widest
publicity.
The Article in question was
written In 1904 on the occasion
OF the golden wedding anniver-
sary OF Mr.. and Mrs J. W. Wilkes,
Of Charlotte, both OF whom have
since died. It il such a beautiful
expression of the ideal. marriage
relation that it is good for all

Continued Gr0wh of Foreign Trade

According to the detailed figures concerning the
imports and exports of the United States for the
month of July and the seven months ended with
July, 1913, given out by the Department of Commerce,
our foreign trade continues to grow in a most salts
factory manner.
The aggregate trade in the seven months was
$2,346, 4,612, and showed an increase of more than
$64. 800, 900, over the corresponding period of 1917.
This total volume of our foreign trade was divided
into imports of 1,O1S,S71,475 and exports Of sl,S27,-
27S,137, showing a trade balance in our favor OF
$685. O1 ,662. H.
The United Kingdom is still far in the lead as our
best customer, our sales to that nation in the seven
months having exceeded 1927, 100000 and our pur-
chases therefrom amounting to almost $155,5O0,OOO, a,
total trade of nearly $45O,0O0,0OO. Canada comes
second, with purchases from us amounting to more
than $247, $780, 1000. Germany is third, France is fourth.
France, however, is closely pressed by Cuba, which
comes next, with Il total trade of SIG. S5,4l0, made
up of $S5, 7S7,67S sales to us and $40, 797, 1872 purchases
from us.
Our exports of manufa ctured and partly 7nanufac-
tured articles continue to grow, the sales in the seven
month period ended with July 81, 1913, being $685.
49,, 7o3, as compared with sS11,3S2 $50 in the CORE.

Total number of bacteria per &C.
equals 16O. (This represents the

AS hours, at 20 degrees CO
Average number OF ac~id-producers
per &C. equals Z (this represents the
average of three, Zee. portions, plat
ed on Lactose Litmus agar. Grown

made by sub.cultures in Lactose.agar
indicated the presence of Bacillus

The result of this examination

There is one great blessing which the people of
bismarck are enjoying, and that is-good health, and
a very low death rate. And right now, that the
rumor has been about town that the water was not
irst-class, 1t may be of satisfying interest to know
that both the water and milk of this city are in ex.
cellent condition, in fact, never better.
Bismarck not only has a diligent health officer in
Or. Smyth, one who is constantly watching both the
water and milk supplies Of the city, but it has the
government official here who is a constant guardian
over the health of the people.
With these safeguards, both men being in a posi-.
ton where they cannot be influenced, it is
gratifying to the people of this city that a report
suca as appears elsewhere in this issue is obtainable,
t~estifying to the excellence of the water supply, and
a statement recently regarding the equally excellent
quality of our milk supply.
Every community has INSCRIPTIONS persons, who
are ready to spread disquieting reports regarding the
health OF the community, or touching on equally dis
turbing subjects; probably not Intentionally, but they
are damaging just the same.
The Tribune has taken its time to thoroughly in
~vestigate the present runor, and is only too pleased
to state that there is absolutely no foundation for it
and that, on the contrary, the water is of the very
best.
While 1t Is true there have been within the last
few days several cases of slight intestinal trouble,
yet this cannot be attributed to the water. In no
case has the person been unable to be around. This
may be attributed to several causes, principal OF
which are two. First, it may be due to flies carrying
putrid matter from the garbage heaps which are in
almost every community in a more or less degree,
and second, it might be due to the fact that nearly
all the fruit which is shipped into this city is that
which has been picked green in order thai it may
be shipped successfully, and when eaten, apparently
ripe, is not in any stage of ripeness or maturity, but
rather in a stage Of decomposition.
There is but one way for the public to treat such
matters and that is, to be sensible, ard it is not going
to be hurt very badly.

She Mdu Get Spanked

America b threatened with a visit from Mrs. Pank-
hurst, England's militant %suffragist. If she does come
she will have to behave as a lady should, and not
attempt to smash the furniture. 1t will be interest
ing, in case this woman visits the United States, to
note how she will act and how far she will be per-
mitted to get with her actions. English authorities
have, to some extent, been made, the laughing stock
OF the world by reason Of the impositions allowed
by the unruly suffragists. 1t has been a common
remark throughout America that 1t was not believed
this class would get very far in the United States.
Should "Panky" come over and try out-the news
papers have a live subject for a change, at least.

Mayor GaynOr was a man of such striking origin
ality, exceptional ability and extraordinary courage
that there is little to remind one of conventional
%eulogies in what is said of him. We quote from three
papers that had opposed him bitterly.
The Evening Post, Independent, says that he was
the most interesting man in New York; that no poll.
tician or group of politicians dictated his policy. The
Tribune, republican, says that his was an exceedingly
complex and vivid personality, that he was his own
master, that his administration, barring his strange
defense OF police corruption, showed a marked ad-
vance In efficiency over that OF any of his recent pre-
decessors. The World, democrat, recalls its previous
comment that New York had never had another
mayor who SO thoroughly understood his trade and
possessed so large a share of administrative genius,
and adds: I'm a long list Of commonplace and slate
colored mayors he towers, a giant among pygmies.'
The Independence that arrayed these papers
against him was in their case, as In the case Of the
politicians, the Independence of the man who was his
own master. 1t was by no means proof Of perfection
and under pin pricks and challenges A. ,became VIC
lent. But if all that the papers say is true it seems
unfortunate that SO much energy was wasted between
him and them in ridicule, satire and denunciation.
The administrative genius, the giant among pygmies,
was seldom considered in the acrimonious debate.
The greatest encouragement was given to that tend
ency to criticism which Sfwas as noticeable In the
papers as in the mayor, and 1t is a pity that there
could not have been more of desperation and less OF
soothing and vindictiveness. But it is always difficult
to take the comprehensive view when issue Is joined
over particulars, and in death the mans remarkable
personality receives due recognition. -Chicago Rec
