 For thirty years MT. Carpenter has roamed over the world, and, singular to remark, Alaska, Persia and Thibet are the three countries that remain unyisited. Now that he has reached Uncle Sam's great northern possession, he has but two more left to complete the gamut. His articles for years have charmed a circle of readers ap- pro1imately 5,OOO,O0O, and at the present time his letters on South America are running in thirty metropolitan papers. He has pene- trated every nook and corner Of South America and in speaking of his experiences said "Peru is the most ackward of the South Amerl- can republics, even Bolivia rank ing her iu progress and ciyiliza- ton. Duenos Aires, the magnifi- cent cauital of the Argentine Re public, is unsurpassed among the cities of the world in the grandeur Of its architectural trlumphs, the alegapce of it's boulevards and the concrete evidence of wealth, cul- ture and progress that abound on all sides. The population is now pesrly 2,00O,000. larger than PhiIa- dsIphia in fact, and if l may be pardoLed an invidious comparison, handsomer than any municipality on the western continent, if not on the world"
 There is one thing that may sound strange to you," said Mir Carrenter, in touching on the litera- .urA Of the Arctic regions and con- t;5aouR territory "and that is that the finest descriptions I have read of travels in polar regions are from tne gifted pen of the famous Dr. Ccok. l am not entering into any controversy as to the falsity or the truth of his discovery claims, but au simply speaking of the ]: grace. the graphic incisiveness, the I compelling charm of his descriptive style when writing of the boundle5s tundras, the majestic sweep Of rivers, the icy expanses and appal- ling solftudes of the Arctic Circle, and 1t seems almost a trayesty of fate that man so talented should find himself 50 generally discredit- ed"
 Mfr. Carpenters personal inter- yiews have embraced most of the crowned heads and potentates Of Eu- rope, Asia and Africa, not to men (Ceattnuaa on last page)

MATTERS OF INTEREST
FROM OVER the COUNTY
Vorkville Enquirer.)

Mr.. J. S. Jones, carrier on
4orkville No. 5, reports that Mr..
}. r. Fish who lives on his route
has more than an acre of buck
wheat sown this year. Buck
wheat ripens much slower than
ordinary wheat and that on the
farm of Mr.. Fish is Just now in
bloom.
Rock Hill Record: Oran S. Poe
is apparently farming the right
way. He has just finished har-
vesting 2,200 bushels of oats.
$50 bushels of wheat and as
bushels of rye. He is now pre-
pairing to plant so acres in alfal-
ia. Now, that surely is farming
along proper lines. Not a word
about cotton, you see. Mr.. Poe
Is going in for feedstuffs and his
land is producing bountifully.
Rock Hill Herald: 1t is rumored
on the streets that with the COM
pletion of the improvement on
the street leading to the Aragon-
Manchester village, a jitney bus
line will be inaugurated. thus
putting the business centre of
the city in close touch with the
village and vice versa. 1t is
more than probable that such a
line will be started as soon as
there is a good deal of travel be-
tween the villages and the city,
a distance of more than mile.
The Southern railway, for sat
lsfactory reasons, has cut its sec
ton forces lately. Where form
erly four men composed section
crew, only three are now used.
AS result, the condition of the
track cannot be kept up to it's
usual standard. In York county,
however, the track is in pretty

The Rock Hill Celebration.

The city of Rock Hill is pre-
pairing elaborate entertainment
for the thousands of people who
will visit that city on next Mon
day.
A big barbecue dinner will be
served on the fair grounds at
noon, so no one will have to go
home during the day. I'm
mediately after dinner the races
will begin. There will be mule
races, motorcycle races and two
horse races. These horse races
will be according to the rules of
the game five to enter and
three to start. -" This will be
strictly enforced and an exciting
spectacle is guaranteed to all
who attend. Two purses of $1OO
each are offered the winners,
and this fact, in addition to the
general interest in the occasion,
has caused quite a number of
foreign horses to be entered.
A splendid band has been en-
ployed to furnish plenty of good
music all during the day, and
this feature will add much to
the enjoyment on the grounds.

Pushing Work on Power Plant.

The Hardaway Contracting
Company is moving right ahead
in getting it's equipment on the
site of the proposed Fishing
Creek development of the South
ern Power Company at Nitrolee,
S. G. Here a big hydro-electric
development will be made which
will be tied" in with the other
stations into the general trans
mission system at Great Falls,
only a few miles below on the
Catawba.
The dam will be l, 200 feet long
by GO feet in height. The de-
tails of the powerhouse have not
yet been completed but probably
will install three vertical type
electric units to develop from
10000 to $4,000 horsepower.
The plant is to be finished by
the middle or latter part of next
summer.
The Hardaway Contracting
Company is just now finishing
the big Southern Power Com
pany development at Lookout
Shoals on the Catawba between
1redell and Catawba Counties in
this State. This is the only hydro
electrical development the COM
pany has in North Carolina,
although several undeveloped
power sites are to be utilized
later. The other developments
are all in South Carolina, at
Catawba near Rock Hill, Great
Falls and Rocky Creek between
Chester and Lancaster Counties,
and at NiEety-Nine Islands on
the Broad River.
This Fishing Creek develop
ment will give employment to
something like l, 600 men. Char
