completed. Large consignments
of foreign and domestic exhibits
now are arriving daily and the
twelve miles of track within the

hills and Mount Tamalpais, while
before the grand esplanade
stretch the island-dotted waters
of the bay. With this background

DON'T FORGET.
Beginning December 1, 1914, the cash-in-advance
plan will be adopted by the DAN BURY REPORTER,
and all unpaid subscriptions will be dropped from
the list.
This is the policy adopted by a majority of the
progressive newspapers of the United States. Our
friends will oblige us by helping us carry out the
policy. It is best for the paper and best for the
subscriber. The expense and labor of collecting
small amounts is the reason we take this procedure.
Many of our subscribers who have for many years
made it a habit to pay up once a year, will confer a
favor by not forgetting that this rule will apply to
all, and no exceptions will be made in the case of
any person.

10 RE-SUBMIT AMENDMENTS
Next General Assembly Will
Be Asked to Act Upon it.
Raleigh. Nov. 11.—It is the,
general expectation here that the:
next General Assembly will, ear-!
ly in its session, be called upon
to re-enact the bill for a vote on i
constitutional amendments with 1
a view to again submitting aj
number of those defeated at the j
polls in the recent election to the
electorate of the State, the plan
being to eliminate the tax amend
ment and possibly some others
on the ground that there were so
many submitted this time as to
make the propositions confusing
and that the fight on the tax
amendment really caused the de
; feat of all ten, when the real
sentiment is not against numbers
of them.
Most especially is there a de
sire to get before the people
again the amendment as to re
striction of legislation and re
lieving the Legislature of a mass
of inconsequential legislation
purely local. Some of those in
terested in renewed legislative
effort for this and other amend
ments are already preparing the
bills for introduction in the
Legislature and providing for
another vote two years hence.
Conference Has Good Reports.
I
Shelby, Nov. 11.—According

Hoard had raised $1(5,00(1 during
the year exclusive of $12,1)1)0 j
special: the Home and Confer
ence Hoard hid raised SIB,(MH)
exclusive of SI,OOO special; the

Eastern Carolina
Wants Tobacco Farmers.

making a strong effort to secure
tobacco farmers from Stokes and
other counties to go to that sec
tion and grow tobacco. Much
of the land down there which
has been used for cotton will be
used for tobacco the coming year.
