THE BIG EXPOSITION

Space is being reserved by manu-.
facturers all over the state and the
south for the big furniture exposi-
ton to be held here June 26th to
July 18th. Secretary Clark is head
over heels in work answering COM
munications and getting things in
line for the successful carrying out
Of the first exposition, to be held in
High Point, which will mean so
much to Southern manufacturers.
Heretofore the Southern lines lave
been shown on the northern markets
and have been Disseminated against,
in other words, receiving second
consideration. The south manufac-
lures as good furniture as any part
of the country, and it behooves the
southern man to buy from the south

AN INTERESTING TRIP THROUGH
THE COUNTRY

Sunday afternoon, the editor made
an interesting trip in his automobile
through the country, and his eyes
were open to the improvements
made, especially in some parts OF
of Guilford County i'm regard to road
ways and farms. Our first stop was
at Guilford Battle Ground, when after
a look over the grounds, trip was
made to Winston by Summerfeld,
Oak Ridge and Kernersville. From
the Battle Ground to Oak Ridge,
some of the prettiest farms we ever
saw greeted our eyes and some of
the best roadways; up and down
little mountains, and on each side
could be seen beautiful meadows,
newly painted houses, fine fields of
grain and general air of well-to- do
was manifest on every hand. 1t was
our first trip through this section.
Everything looked clean and inviting
and the location is an ideal one for
school, a few miles from town
This trip from High Point and back,
with side trips, registered 80 miles
and there was very little bad road
in the whole distance, viz: a little
stretch near Kernersville and at
Abbott's Creek.

BRYANS'S PEACE THEORIES
London Critics Want to be Shown
Practical Results

Practical Results
London, May 1.-THE Daily Mail
in an editorial under the caption "A
Rather Ambitious Idealst," /" sarcas-
tically criticises the plan of William
Jennings Bryan, the American Sec
retary OF state, for settling interna-
tional disputes, which he expounded
at the peace banquet in New York.
The Daily Mail cites American crit
icisms of the head of the state de-
partment and suggests that before
taking the peace of the world under
his charge this highly inexperi-
Eenced diplomat might see whether
he cannot keep the United States
out of the series of quarels and
misunderstanding into which that
country seems to be drifting"
The Daily Matt instances, among
other things, the Panama canal dis
pute with Great Britain as to the
right of America to allow coastwise
steamers to pass through the great
waterway free of canal tolls, which
it denounces as 'flsgrant violation
of the Hdy-Pauncefote treaty."
The paper expresses the hope that
President Wilson will prevail upon
the senate to put this matter right,
although a good many difficulties, it
admits, will have to be Surmounted
before solution will be reached.
The editorial refers also to the
new Underwood tariff bill and to the
various protests that it is Infringing
on the most favored nation" treat
les, and finally to the California leg
islation which is supposed to be d.
rected against the Japanese. Refer
ring to the later the Daily Mail says:
This puts the paciflst secretary
of state in a very awkward situation
indeed. He has been discussing this
matter at some length and Japan's
proposal that the gu ;stion should be
referred to The Hague tribunal is ob-
viously one which a secretary who
enthusiastic for international arbitra-
ton should accept with effusion. ="
But, says the Daily Mail. Mr..
Bryan can hardly do this until he
has coerced or cajoled California to
agree to accept the decision of Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t concludes by say
ing: With so many hard nuts to
crack it seems to be unnecessary for
this eminent ideals to dissipate his
energies in preparing for the miIlen-
num-" .-.

WEDDING OF DIR. JONES CAME
AS BIG SURPRISE

Coming as a happy surprise to
his hosts of friends in Greensboro
and Guilford county and throughout
the state was the announcement
Wednesday of the wedding of Or.
w. M. Jones to Miss Lala Mundy,
which occurred in tie morning at
the brides home in Denver, N. G..
The wedding was to have occurred
in June, but the couple found it more
convenient to be married at the pres
ent time. DR.. Jones left Sunday for
Denver.
Dr. Jones is the superintendent of
health in Guilforc county. a position
requiring skill and careful attention,
and a position too that is widely
CONSPICUOUS because it is a new work
in this section. Since becoming
superintendent he has had the dis
tinction of making a record in pro-
mitigating by practical effort the
cause of health and sanitation espe-
cially in rural homes, and by his
knack at winning friends has had
fine success.
He wins for wife woman who
is accomplished and attractive.
Dr..and Mrs Jones will will re-
turn to the city in a few days to reside.
