EXHIBITS BY SOUTHERN
RAILWAY AT FAIRS IN
WEST THE COMING FALL

Atlanta, Ga.-The superlative ad
vantages of the South as a grair
producing section will be giver
great prominence in exhibits which
the Southern Railway, Mobile &
Ohio Railroad, Georgia Southern anc
Florida Railway, Virginia and South
western Railway and affiliated lines
will make at thirty state, district and
county fairs in the North and Middle
West during the coming fall.
An especially fine collection OF
grains will be shown while the grass
es and forage crops exhibited will be
of very high character. From the
wheat-growing section Of the South,
grain sheaves will be shown from
fields yielding as high as 40 bushels
to the acre and the character Of 9TH
er exhibits will be in keeping. The
fruits and vegetables to be shown In
jars include a wide variety.
These exhibit scome from various
districts of the entire territory served
by Southern Railway and affiliated
lines in Virginia. North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky.
They will be shown in Pennsylvania,
New York, Indiana, Michigan and IL
linois, and each exhibit will be at
tended by agents, well equipped to
tell callers about the various sections
of the South represented and to give
information about the opportunities
to be found in them. Especially at
tractive literature will be widely dis

The first two exhibits will be
shown at fairs in Indiana. For all
fairs in the Middle West a special ex-
hibit tent has been provided. ar
ranged 30 that large number Of
people can see the exhibits at the
same time. Past experience has
shown that these exhibits of South
ern products are very frequently the
big feature of country fairs and at
tract large numbers of farmers.
Throughout many of the states
the Southern Railway exhibit has be-
come we'll known and is looked for.
This has made it necessary to ar
range for caring for more than the
ordinary crowd.

OPPORTUNITY.

(By Walter Malone
They do me wrong who say come
no more
When once 1 knock and fail to find
you in:
For every day l stand outside your
door,
And bid you wake, and rise to
fight and win.
Wall not for precious chances passed
away;
Weep not for golden ages on the
wane!
Each night 1 burn the records of the
day
At sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh like boy at splendors that
have sped,
To vanished joys be blind and deaf
and dumb:
My judgments seal the dead past
with its dead.
But never bind a moment yet to
come.
Though deep in mire. wiring not your
hands and weep:
lend my arm to all who say II
cant"
No shame faced outcast ever sank so
deep.
But yet might rise and be again a
man!
Dost thou behold thy lost youth all
aghast?
Dost reel from righteous Retribu-
tons blow?
Then turn from blotted archives Of
the past,
And find the futures pages white
as snow.
Art thou a mourner? Rouse thee
from thy spell;
Art thou a sinner? Sins may be
forgiven:
Each morning gives thee wings to
fee from hell.
Each night star to guide thy
feet to heaven.

THE FINANCIAL PROBLEM
OF HIGHWAY BUILDING

New York, August 23.-The domi
mating problem In connection witt
highway building at the presen
time Is unQuestionably that Of financ,
and Indebtedness. This applies botl
to country roads and city streets
and involves the questions as II
whether direct taxation or bond Is
sues are preferable: the proper tern
for bonds; the amount of bonds
which may be judicially issued fol-
road and street construction under
given conditions; the legislation
which may be necessary in reducing
these essential factors from the hap
hazard to a basis which shall be sci
entifc and economic; the question of
sinking funds and bond retirements;
all appeal directly to the best fnan-
cial sense of all citizens, when road
or street improvement is contem-
plated.
The fact that probably one-half of
the counties and cities in the United
States and other American countries
are now at some stage of the agita-
ton for highway betterment makes
the financial problem one of para
mount importance. The subject will
be presented and discussed in all its
phases at the Pan-American Road
Congress, which will assemble at the
Municipal Auditorium. Oakland, CAL,
Monday. September 10, and continue
Ave days.
While steady and regular advance
ment has been made during the past
ten years In methods of road and
street construction, maintenance and
administration, it has been through
the annual conventions of the two
great national organizations, Ameri-
can Road Builders Association and
the American Highway Association.
that the knowledge of the various
lines of Improvement has become
general. and the whole world en-
abled to profit. This year the two
Associations have Joined their forces
to organize the Pan-American Road
Congress, and secure the presence of
delegates from practically every
country in all America. They will
be aided on the Pacific coast by two
with memberships in
California, Oregon and Washington,
the Tri-State Good Roads Association
and the Pacific Highway Association.
Twenty-seven subjects will be con-
sidered at the Congress. Six Of these
are educational; the other twenty
one are open to discussion. not only
by those selected by the program
committee to prepare papers and
lead discussions, but by any one. del
egate, member or visitor who may be
present. SO that all known facts may
be brought out.

who were under their influence, or
under obligation to them, hurried to
the Capitol. They said the act would
drive capital from the State, close
banks, destroy industry and lesson
business confidence. Some threatened
to leave us. In one Legislature after

GIVES EXPl AVIATION
OF MOUNTAIN SLIDE
Especial to The News and Observer.

Thomasville. Aug. 1.-THE High
Rock mountain slide, which so much
has been said about recently, was
visited by a Thomasville citizen a few
days ago and his report of the condi-
ton of the mountain and the cause
for il is about as follows:
Il found three acres of the noun
tain that had given away. After
carefully examining it I decided that
it was an ancient Indian cave that
had been used by the chief of a tribe
as a store house for supplies. It is
possible that here were kept the riches
of the tribe, their gold, silver, and
ammunitions OF war. The cave was
so cunningly devised that it had never
been discovered. It was so secretly
and c~unningly hidden in the noun
tain side that all traces Of it had
long ago disappeared. Only when the
inside walls gave away was the Sc
cret revealed to man. There is nc
doubt in my mind that a large amount
of Indian gold and other. valuable In
dian relics are stored away in the
mountain. The g~entleman's state
ment has its weight among the people
of Thomasvflle, for near the slide
there has been in time several valu.
able gold mines. 1t is probable thai
there is some gold mined from thess
mines by the Indians stored away il
the cave which recently fell in"
