At the recent meeting of the State Literary and Historical Association (Jen. Julian S. Carr, [ who done has so much for North Carolina, made an able address in which he proposed that the people of North Carolina erect in j Nash Square at Raleigh a suita ble statue to the memory of Sir! Walter Raleigh. The association unaimously \ passed the following resolutions! placing Gen. Carr at the head of j the movement: Resolved, That a committee of twenty five, to be selected by Gen. 1 Julian Carr be, and the same are| hereby appointed to adopt such measures as may be requisite to carry into effect his. suggestions for collecting a fund to erect a suitable statue to Sir Walter Raleigh inourcapitalcity, named so fitly in his honor, and that in carrying this resolution into effect the committee have in mind the educational value of giving the people an opportunity to rai?e this fund by penny collec tion, so that all may share in the glory of thus honoring the great hero, martyr of American coloni zation. Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be suitably attached to all collection boxes prepared by the committee. Gen. Carr has appointed a com mittee composed of representa tive citizens in different sections of the State to carry into effect the above resolutions. This fund is expected to be raised largely by the school chil dren of North Carolina giving penny collections. A resolution was adopted by the Association asking that penny collections be taken in the schools throughout the State on the Friday after Thanksgiving. While Sir Walter Raleigh's col ony on Roanoke Island was a failure no man everlabored more strenuously than he to effect a permanent settlement on our coast. Though he failed North Carolinians should delight to hon or this noblest of Englishmen who was beheaded by the order of his King. We hope that the schoolchil dren of Johnston county will aid this cause on the day after Thanksgiving by each giving a penny for the erection of this statue. Let the teachers of our schools tell their pupils of the j life of Sir Walter Raleigh and try to interest them in this wor thy cause. Tell them that the monument will be built and that if they will give something towards it they can some day visit our capital city and point to the bronze statue of the unfortunate Sir Walter with a feeling of pride that they assisted in its erection. How much will the children of Johnston county give? The farmers of Johnston coun ty could do nothing better, if i' .. Kit to make money, than i ? > ; \. i f w acres in tobacco r. Many have tried to Iwto a 11* 1 line have made a I'lant some cot i tol icco, and enough wheat and oats -i applies. When all ibis they will be th n ' I aidant class of ' >nnt ry. THE CHARLESTON EXPOSITION. The South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition will be formally opened December 2d, and will continue six months There will be a special religious service on Sunday, December 1st. The grounds are on theeasiern bank of the Ashley river about miles from the business center of Charleston anil the exposition city, which will lie called the "Ivory City," is growing very rapidly, fourteen of the main buildings being almost com pleted. Among some of the most striking buiidingsare tne Admin istration Duilding, of theSpanish renaissance type with domes and facades, the Cotton Palace and the Palaces of Commerce and Agriculture, the Woman's build ing and the Negro building. Most of the State buildings will be of i the early colonial type. One of the most interesting! features of the exposition will be the West Indian exhibit. Atypi cal Cuban building and many re-j tnarkable curiosities will be inter esting to visitors. The exposition will open at a I time when the North will be fror.en up and no doubt many northern j visitors will be attracted to I Charleston with its gardens of[ blooming roses. Farmers, you would serve your own interests well to sow a few acres in wheat, at least enough to make your own flour. Remem ber that the price of corn will be high uext spring. Morgan Crows (iliost, Winnie Turtlehead, Polly Plenty Fox, Irene Pears Ghost and Abbie Rig John, are the queer names of some of the new pupils that en-j tered the Indian School at Car lisle, l'a., last week. The Chinese have a peculiar way of doing things. Last week soon after their greatest states man, Li Hung Chang, died, they issued an Imperial edict creating him a marquis and bestowing on him the new name of Li Wen Chung. This is the name by which the dead statesman will be known in Chinese history. Frederick William Victor Au gust Krnest Hohenzollern, Crown Prince of Prussia and the German Empire, will visit the United States next Spring. He is con sidered the greatest "catch" in Europe, but fair American heir esses will in vain make "goo-goo" eyes at the young Prince, for no one except of royal blood can become his spouse. John Wilbur Jenkins has re signed as editor of the Raleigh Times to accept a position on the Baltimore Sun. He is an able young newspaper man and his leaving the State is a loss to North Carolina journalism. He has made the Raleigh Times one of the brightest and best afternoon papers in the State. The best wishes of his brethren of the press go with him to his new field. The famous "Rajah of Ranjit," "Prince of Karuchi," and son of the ruler of " Beloochistan," who has been fooling London and Montreal for the past few weeks, arrived in New York last week and was at once recognized as a former cook at Sherry's, one of New York's swell cafes. He received social and official recog nition as an East Indian Prince at both London and New York. He put up at fashionable hotels, with a retinue of 30 servants and was feted and petted without having his identity questioned. Those who showered so many favors upon him must feel much chagrined to learn that he is sim ply a New York cook. Prof. Alexander -Graham, of Charlotte, has been appointed by the State Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, manager and di rector of the Southern Educa tional Association meeting at Coiutnbia, S. C., December 20-20. The New Canal Treaty. American control of the pro potted isthmian intcroceanic cu nal is now absolutely assured. When the canal is built it will be constructed by American en gineers and American money and defended by American guns. No other nation on the face of the earth is to have anything to do with it, even in the way of sug gestion. The I nited States is to have a free hand, uncontrolled and unhainpeied. j Such, in brief, is the purport of j the new treaty which has been j agreed upon between the United States and Great iiritain, and wtiich will be sent to the Senate 1 by President Roosevelt immedi ately after the convening of Con gress All the principles for which the Senatecontended when the first Uay l'auucefote canal treaty was before that body, and which were incorporated in important amendments, have been conceded by Great Iiritain, and that, to, without the slight est consideration in ret urn. This, perhaps, is the most remarkable fact connected with the negotia tion of the new treaty. All sug gestions?and they have been numerous?that Great Britain has imposed a quid pro quo have no foundation in fact. Not only is there no such consideration named in the treaty, but there has not been and will not be any private understanding or prom ises to be redeemed in the future. ? Washington l'ost. War on the Katfir. London, Nov. 13.?Mr. Brod-; rick, the British war secretary, j speaking to-night at a banquet given in London in iiis honor by the City Carlton Club, declared I that the Boers were hiding their tracks by murdering Kaffirs be hind thein. "Lord Kitchener wired to-day," he continued, "that the cold blooded murder of natives had become frequent of late, and that two dead natives, their hands tied behind their backs, were found November 10 at the bottom of a mine shaft." Later in his speech Mr. Brod rick said Great Britain now had 42,000 Boers in custody in the concentration camps and on vari- j ous islands, and that 11,000 more had been killed or wounded, or had left the country on parole. He added that he believed the number of Boers now in the field was about 10,000. Nikola Tesla has purchased 200 acres of land on Long Island sound and will erect the largest building of its kind in the world to experiment with wireless mes sages. Help... Nature Babies and children need proper food, rarely ever medi cine. If they do not thrive on their food something is: wrong. They need a little help to get their digestive machinery working properly. I ? ' I COD LIVER OIL WON HrPO&rOSPH/TES or IMS, 5004 will generally correct this difficulty. If you will put from one fourth to half a teaspoonful in baby's bottle three or four times a day you will soon see j a marked improvement. For j larger children, from half to j a teaspoonful, according to ? age, dissolved in their milk, f if you so desire, will very j soon show its great nourish- j ing power. If the mother's j milk does not nourish the i baby, she needs the emul- j sion. It will show an effect j at once both upon motherj | ! and child. 1 50c. and |ioo, all druggist*.
