China had best been appropriate ed in keeping, and open door in that vast empire for our cotton products.

Write at on^f*. lliursday, February 9 1911 THE STATE BUILDING. From the presentation of the case by Hon. Ashley Horn it would seem that there could not be any question about the fact of the necessity of a state build ing at Raleigh in character as provided for in the bill intro duced by Senator Boy den. We believe the state needs a build ing, and should have one, but we doubt the propriety, the practibility of expending one million dollars upon it. Less money will pay for the erection of a building ample in everway; and suitable in every respect for the purposes this building would be designed to serve. A half million dollars ought to provide a building suitable in all respects, and especially should this view of the question be considered when it must be taken into ac count that the demand for mon ey for so many purposes is be ing pressed upon the state, and much of it must come from the pockets of an already taxed burdened class. A bill for a building to cost one half a million dollars could not be reasonably objected too, in fact it shouid be urged, adopted. Since writing the above, find the following article in Statevill Landmark which reproduce. While the necessity for the new builcing is admitted, it is argued that $300,000, or a half million at the out side, would be ample for the purpose. On this point a Charlotte man remark ed that the skpjscraper in that town cost only about $250,000, and he re gards a similar building as ample for State’s needs. There is no need to abandon the offices in the capitol, it is argued, and ample provision can be made for all the room needed, in a modern fireproof building, for $300,000 or $500,000 at the outside. Whether the members who oppose the million dollar building will oppose any bond issue is not clear, but on this point it is contended that if a million dollars in bonds should be issued that amount should be ample for all purposes—for all the State institutions, charitable and educational, and all other needs outside the regular revenue. There |is no question that those who take this view have good ground to stand on. But there is much lobbying for the million dollar building. Raleigh peo ple naturally want it and one prom inent Raleigh citizen is very active in securing endorsements of the project that will make it appear that public sentiment is behind it, The endorse ment of organizations and prominent citizens is being solicited all over the State. The Legislature should not hesitate to issue bonds if this is nec essary to provide permanent improve ments in the way of buildings for the State government and State institu tions, but care should be exercised not to be too lavish in this matter. and we the we WILL MAKE GOOD. Mr. George Crater is now with the Greensboro News, hav ing perchased an interest in that paper, George is a clever young man, and will make a very ef ficient business manager for the News. It is pleasant to reflect that George did his first news paper work with us while we were Editing the Daily Sentinal of Winston. We never thought Mr. Crater was treated right in his final connection with the Raleigh Evening Times. His unfalter ing faith in Mr. Drury his busi ness associate, and his inocences of any knowledge of wrong led him to a defence of Mr, Drurj- that that gentle man failed to sup port and appreciate from which Mr. Crater suffered unmerited wrong. Mr. Crater will make good on the News. He is a gentleman of ability, energy, and character, and has had wide experience as a newspaper manager. m SANFRANCISCO NOT THE PROPER PLACE. The House of Representative at Washington have passed the Panama Exposition bill, desig nating Sanfrancisco as the place to hold the Exposition. It is stated this bill will not be con- cured in by the Senate, and will likely lay over until the next congress meets, in that time there will be men admited to the House who will be sure to de feat the measure as it stands. We have no doubt in the world, but what its passage by the present House was made possible by a great lobbying fund largely contributed too by the trans- continental railways for passenger trafic that would be made posible, in addition to what wealthy Californians would con tribute. New Orleans geograpicaly is by far the better place, and should be adopted, and it is to be hoped that the present effort of the House may be permanently checkmated. HAS (IT?) BORNE GOOD FRUIT “The action of the United States in generously waiving the indemnity of $11,000,000 resulting from the Boxer uprismg in China has bom good fruit. China has since regarded this country as her best friend, and has sought ad vice and guidance from us on matters affectitJg her international relations.— Raleigh Times. Yes sir, so far so good, China is willing to take senseable advise from a proven friend, and she may be willing to accept of western ideas in the education of her young men, but the lick that China and Japan is strik ing the United in boycoting the cotton product of the south ia^ evidence of a lack of appre ciation upon a vital question and it hurts. Manchura could absorb half the cotton of the South and not have an excess, and the people of Manchura would be warmer clad, and at less cost than at present. The eleven million that the United States gave Teaching a girl some knowl edge of music on a piano, and a boy something about book keep ing is complained of by some newspapers. While the limited time most children in the coun try are allowed at school scarcely permits of more than the rudi mentary elements of an educa tion, yet we would think it decidedly perferable to permit a girl spend some time in an in- deavor to learn something of piano music than to insist upon her studying a treatis on agri cultural subjects which is em braced in the curiculum of many of our graded schools. The Legislature of Kansas through an act of that body made the hotels provide longer sheets for the beds, then Nebraska Legislature passed a bill to pre vent the use of cracked or bro ken crockery upon hotel tables, why cannot the Legislature of North Caaolina pass a bill to prevent the shipping into this state an exclusive high heel ladies shoes. If the manufac ture haven’t sense enough to know they aie ingurious to health, and the giddy girls do not know any better than to buy them, then let a paternal state government step in and relieve the situation. THffi SHO£S THAT JTT! No well dressed, well bred lady or gentle man will wear, a common fitting shoe if it is posible to avoid it, because they recog nize it is a badge of bad tast. Refinement and good tast suggest a neat well fitting shoe. Every man in our thoroughly equip- ed, and well supplied shoe emporium is a professional shoe fitter, and never permits, :a man or woman to go out of our store with out having given them the neatest and most comfortable fit possible. iVe carrry a line of shoes from which every class can be fit ted, and pleased, and they embrace the most popular, and substantial makes of this country. Shoes that looks well wear, and give perfect satisfaction. See us, we don’t live far. Pri^en 6c Jones, Durham, N. C. Mr. .Andrew d^megie has donated ten million dollars as a peace offering to be used in any way that might best promote peace in the world, and it is quite a good sum, but what is it compared to the expenditure by the world powers of one billion five hundred end fifty one mil lion dollars spent in preparation for war. This is the sum Great Britain, Germany, Russia, the United States, France, Japan, and Italy are expending annualy as a military and naval appro priation. The Raleigh Times says mad dogs should not be allowed to run at large without being muz zled. The Times is right, they should not be allowed to run at large without being muzzled, nor do we want any of them running at large in our section with the muzzles on them, even if there was some one fool enough to put one them .

H, Prmell, Traveling Passenger Agenf, Raleigh, N. C. The effort to secure a recipro cal tarff treaty with Canady has more in it than the ordinary observer would emagine. The Candian products admited to the United States under a reciprocal agreement are the very same products that will come in direct competition with western pro ducts. It is the West that has furnished the largest contingent of insergent Republican, and it is intended to make the West take a dose of it. This may after all be the “nigger^^ in the wood pile. Fancy and 1. I heard the wind rise, I heard it fall, Saw the chipmunk scamper on root and wall; I heard the sparrow, glad as the day. Carolling, throwing songs dway; Where light and laughter would ripple and pass. Saw the cricket jump after his heart in the grass; Where all day long the clouds—sky- fanciesr- Witched the meadow ways and the daisy dances. Heard the yellowbirds flying in rhyth mic waves, Every crest betipped with plantive staves; Heard the woodpecker hammer the hemlock hole. Saw the marmot on end at the door of his hole, Saw the jay awake, and the bat asleep Saw the moss all still, saw the runnet creep. Saw the brave day live, saw the brave day die, Saw the bee go home and the butterfly Saw the first wild star wheel into tlie sky, So Fancy shows to the eyes ’that close The blissful things that Nature kn6Ws; So Fancy brings to the heart th4t nngd All happy, shining, smglr^ things. Fancy and I, ’twixt theiiife walls aton6. Fancy and I, and th6 wdrld otnf own. ” —John Vaner Cheney, Outlo GREAT SALE OF LINENS AT AND BELOW COST, WHITE AND COLORED LINENS. SOMETHING RARE AND NICE J.
