KNOWING THE STATE

The Local Man Wants to Know What
Other Parts OF the state Are Doing
The Exhibits AT the state Fair
Should Answer That Question and
Form Composite Picture OF the
States Resources and Activities.
Every once in while somebody
asks me what know OF CASTOR Coun-
ty, or what sort of a place Craven
County is, or what is made in Wilson,
or whether | regard Lexington as a
promising place to locate. This thing
with variations is applied to every
section of the state. Ii is surprising
how many people want to know about
different parts of North Carolina. The
Publicity Bureau, organized recently
in Raleigh, will undertake to answer
just such questions, but to help the
answer along every county and every
town ought to take advantage of the
opportunity offered at the State Fair
this fall to show the world what 1t is
and what it makes and what it does.
What do you make in your eoun-
ty? What do you raise on the farm?
What resources have you in raw
material, in climate, in health, in
location. in any old thing? | know

Note READY
IN FEW DAYS

Washington, July 10. - President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing, pre-
pared today draft of the note on
submarine warfare to be submitted to
the cabinet tomorrow and sent Ger
many probably before the end of the
week.
Beyond the fact that the position al
ready taken by the United States in
previous notes will be reiterated, no
information is forthcoming at either
the White House or state department
concerning the probable contents of
the new note.
The president cautioned those with
whom he counselled to refrain from
discussing the note in advance of it's
dispatch to Germany, and White House
officials have particularly requested
correspondents to avoid speculations
in detail at present becarce the char
acter of the document is not finally
determined.
The note, it is understood, will be
comparatively brief, expressing the
conclusions of this government as a
result of Germany's failure to give the
assurances asked for previously,
namely that the lives of Americans
travelling on the high seas on lawful
errands abroad unresisting, and un-
armed merchantmen shall not be en-
dangered.
The case of the British liner Or
duna, attacked by a German sub
marine, has not been brought officially
to the attention of the state depart
ment. Secretary Lansing said he ex-
pected word from some of the Ameri
can passengers aboard, but if it failed
to arrive in another day or two, he
would request one or the departments
of the government to institute an in
vestigation of the incident.
