Agency From League.
The administration is determined
to keep its work for Austrian and
German refugees separate from that

today, and will refuse any League

set up a single autonomous office to
aid refugees of all nationanties and
creeds. It would combine the work
of the existing two offices, one the
Nansen Committee for White Rus

qressive State Administration, To Say Nothing

ENorth Cardinals advertising cam
paien. its unique organization Of the
Governors Hospitality Committee and
our State Fress Bureau have won the
admiration of publications throughout
the nation. North Carolina has not
followed the policy of publishing lot
of mimeograpned news items, but on
the other hand has developed a lib
rary of something over $4,000 new
and timely photographs of scenic and
historic points of interest that are
made available to publications every
where. When anything breaks in
North Carolina, magazines and news
papers know that they can call upon
our advertising committees press bu-
reau for impartial and accurate in
formation and photographs.
Affable and Efficient.
North Cardinals system of high
way administration and our method of
transporting school children are other
factors that make North Carolina
stand out like a sore thumb in mat
tiers of progressive and efficient gov
ornamental administration.
Our freedom from labor troubles
and our plentiful supply Of native
born labor are factors that greatly
impress industries and capital.

$50 ,OOO, 900 Travel Business.
All these things combined have
made North Carolina foremost in the
minds of the people, and it is my
Judgment that we can anticipate an
influx of more capital and more de-
sirable people, more worthwhile in
quiries in 1889 than for any five year
period in the history of the state here
tofore Travel business the past wear
was valued at more than 100000, 900.
Because the people are interested
in North Carolina, and because they
are coming to the state to see with
their own eyes what they have been
reading about it is most important
that our people be aroused to the
value and the wisdom of urging the
next session of the General Assembly
to enact legislation which has been
prepared by the Governors Commit
tee on Roadside Control and Develop
ment for the improvement in appear
ance of the roadsides of our state.
LAS a whole, we have a cultured
citizenship. The front yards and the
back yards of most of our good homes
are very beautiful. The garden clubs
and the women's clubs have done
much to interest our people in making
their grounds more beautiful
Nature Good to State.
Mature is good to North Carolina,
and when we give nature half the
chance it will do wonders. It should
not be a very hard thing to make the
roadsides along the principal high
ways of North Carolina show places
that will make people want to travel
more and come to North Carolina
more often, where they can see and
enjoy the products of nature when
given a little assistance by human
endeavor.
"Mere enactment of the legislation
intended to improve roadside cOndi-
tons will not be enough. We must
have the wholehearted enthusiasm
and cooperation of all the people
There is much volunteer work to be
done in cleaning up existing condi
tons. 1t is not necessary to spend
a great deal of money on ornamental
paintings. Nothing is more beautiful
and more restful to the eye than a

her, at the risk Of reputation, even
if it killed him! He also had OBJ
served at an earlier dance that she
liked to play dice, and that was
why he bought the little cubes of
ivory. If he was going in for wild
ness this night, he was determined
to do a good job of it.
He had no trouble finding a sa-
loon. It wasn't called a saloon, but
it was exactly that. He saw the
bottled array on the wall behind
the counter.
I-ah-want a quart Of the
best" He tried to be nonchalant.
"Best what?" The bartender
eyed him.
II beg pardon?"
"Best what? Gin? Whiskey {?
Wine? What?"
ooh! Oh, dear mel" Thornton
was pink with embarrassment.
Which was a mistake, because the
barkeep promptly, if silently,
raised his prices SO per cent, hav-
ing recognized a sucker.
When he finally got his quart of
whiskey and walked out with it.
Thornton had a sense Of uneaSi-
ness. He glanced guiltily at every
one on the sidewalk. He felt like a
burglar must feel just after crack
ing a. safe. But he stuck out his
chin and went on, on up the Uni
versity club elevator and into the
mems lounge. Some oddment of
knowledge told him that men did
their initial drinking in the lounge.
He would go there and proceed to
start his evening Of wi1dness, join
ing Peaches and others of the
gang" later.
However, it hadn't been easy to
start. It had taken more will power
than he had anticipated. He had
knelt in the private Mushroom,
smelled his open whiskey bottle,
and almost had been nauseated!
He had begun shaking and throw
ing his new dice, practicing the
mannerisms he had CHANGED to see
in times past. Then all at once his
door had popped open, and there
was one of his students in bell boy
uniform.
"Why-Dr. Holgate" Worthing-
ton Gurley had stammered in ut
ter amazement.
It was as if the freshman had
pointed an accusing finger Of
Judgment at him. He, Thornton
Holgate, was caught! He who had
prided himself on moral stamina,
caught by "a nice lad at gambling
and drinking Che hadn't actually
drunk any of the whiskey, but the
evidence was tlere.) The freshman
stared, incredulous, before he could
speak again. Things had been
moving fast for young Gurley, but
he tried bravely to ignore what he
saw.
"Come with me-" the freshman
ordered then. Hurry! You must
come. at once"
mo! No, no, Gurley. TT didn't
mean-I'm sorry. You see-I-"
DR.. Holgate had to swallow. Pro-
found shame had suffused him.

Charlotte, Dec. 10.-North Carolina
is the State forecast in the minds OF
the people o. the nation today as a
result of a combination of circum"
stances, in the opinion of Coleman w.
Roberts, president of the Carolina
Motor Club, who summarizes these
conditions and urges Tar Heels to SUD-
port legislation proposed by the Gov
errors Committee on Roadside Con-
troll and Development as a means of
stimulating and continuing this ma
tional interest.
mot the least of these circumstan-
ces is the fact that Duke beat Pitt z
to and is going to the Rose Bowl
Mr.. Roberts said, while the recent
visit of President Roosevelt to Chapel
Hill again gave North Carolina desir-
able nationwide publicity.
Praises HOey Administration.
1.-THE clean and progressive govern
ment of North Carolina is giving us
as much fine publicity as anything
else The administration of Governor
Clyde r. Hoey is one of our most val
liable assets. He is recognized the ma
ton over as one of the most progress
r'''n of all governors, and his leader
ship has won for North Carolina the
u,itation of being the best balanced
state and for our State treasurer,
North Carolina within the past five
years has paid off some thirty mil
lion dollars worth Of its Indebtedness
and has operated throughout this time
without having to borrow one cent
that wins favora BILE comment for our
state and for our Statee treasurer,
Charles NJ. Johnson. North Carolina
also takes the limelight because of the
national recognition given to A. j.
Maxwell, commissioner of revenue, as
one Of the best posted and most cap
able men in the nation in matters of
taxation.
