The department of agriculture has just arranged to em ploy an additional man to boost the development of -the cheese industry in the North Carolina mountains, and he will go to work in a few days. One man already is devoting his entire time to interesting the farmers in this work. This will enable the govern ment to take care of an industry that has expanded with almost incredible speed since it started two year3 ago. A government expert declared that the che8se made in North Carolina is equivalent to that which come3 from Wisconsin and New York, the princi pal cheese states of the nation, and the department looks to the North Carolina mountain farmers to find a prosperity from this industry through out the section adapted to the work. They are finding an eager market eince the quality of their product is good, and are far from having to leave the state to find an outlet for their goods. They make the regular Ameri can cheese which has been coming from Wisconsin and New York. That the industry proved profitable from the beginning, appealing to the farmers because of the good prices available, is indicated by the fact that up to date six additional plant3 have been erected or are now being erected. Shares are sold to the people in the communities and they invest such amounts as they haye available. The plants at the present time are con fined chiefly to the counties of Ashe. Watauga and Yancey. Over in Ten nessee plants have ben built in Se vier and Johnson counties, while plans have just been made for starting tho industry in the mountains of Virginia. Not only are additional pl?nts be ing installed, bringing the total up to nine, but the three plants which were established and in operation last year, on which the government made a glow ing report, have been practically dou bled.

Virgil Butt, the white man who ran amuck here Sunday, one .week ago, and shot five people, was found dead in the woods, less than a mile from the scene of the shooting. J. M.

By his side lay a 22-calibre Remington rifle, a razor, pocket knife, pencil 8nd a small bottle of strychnine t?.Vfq. The direct cause of his death i3 un known, but is suposed to hae result ed from poisoning.

Flaherty said to her husband, who is a success ful contractor: "Mike, Father Burke is to preach to morrow at St. Patrick's church, and you've often told ine you wanted to hear him." "Yes, Jane, I do want to hear him. They say he's a fine speaker." 'But, for pity's sake, Mike, if you do come with nie, keep awake! You know you're always falling asleep dur ing the sermons." "I'll do my best, Jane." Next day, when Father Burke began to preach, Mike watched' him for Ave minutes, and lime dropped off to Bleep. When they were back home Jane gave Mike a tongue lashing. "Well, Jane," said Mike in self-defense, "it's just this way. When I engage a new hand I watch him to see If he's on the job. As soon as I find he's efficient and lmrd-working I don't bother about him any more. Now, as soon as Father Burke began I saw he was right on to his job, and so I didn't worry about him. And then, in spite of myself, I let go." Everybody's Magazine. N EVENT of interest throughout , the entire South will be the un veiling and formal dedication in October of a magnificent memorial on Shiloh's sacred soil, tribute to the Confederacy of patriotic South ern womanhood. The dedication' ceremonies will embody some of the most impressive features that an occurrence of similar character has ever called forth in the South. Brilliant orators from several states will participate in the exercises and one of the largest gatherings ever attending the dedication of a Southern memorial Is expected to be present oh the occasion. From every part of the country, north, south, east and west, will come tire pilgrims to this sa cred shrine of valor to pay homage to the memory of the men lu gray. There is scarce a community in the South that did not lose men In the famous battle. The monument will cost $50,000. The great organization known as the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the largest association of women in the world, it Is said, with the exception of, the W. C. T. U., is responsible for its erection. The completion of the enterprise, for which the Daughters have worked untiringly for many years, marks the realization of one of their most cher ished dreams. The Shiloh memorial will have the distinction of being the only oue ever erected to the Confed eracy as a whole.' Every Southern state con tributed liberally to the enterprise, although Ten nessee gave the largest amount, for not only will the beautiful monolith rise upon her soil, but she lost more men in the famous battle than did any other state. The well-known sculptor, Frederick C. Ilib bard of Chicago is responsible for the exquisite work and desigu of the Shiloh memorial, and his attractive atelier In the Northern city presents a busy scene at the present time, for the artist has promised the Daughters that by the time the Great White Spirit takes up the peace pipe to breathe Indian summer's smoke across the purple hilltops of Tennessee the marbles will be packed and ready for shipment. The monument design, acknowledged as one of , the most striking ever conceived by this artist, comprises three groups upon a base of artistic proportions. It is fashioned of Mt. Airy granite from the famous quarries of North Carolina. The panel heads are done in alto-relievo. The heroic figures comprising the central group are nine feet high and represent Victory, defeated by Death. The female figure of Victory is seen re linquishing a laurel wreath to one of the two cowled figures of the Grim Iteaper. Confederate soldiers, a private, an officer, artilleryman and In fantryman, make up the end and lesser groups. The story of the beginning of the movement to erect the Shiloh monument is interesting and in spiring. It was with n little group of Hardin county women, In Tennessee, that the Idea originated. The lending spirit of the enterprise was Mrs. Cor nelia Broyles Irwin, wife of Capt. James W. Irwin of Savannah, who commanded a company of Har- din county boys at the battle of Shiloh. It was largely due to Mrs. Irwin's enthusiasm that the movement was successfully launched. The lirst published article regarding the project of build ing a monument on Shiloh battlefield to the sol diers of the Southern army was written by this lady and appeared In the Confederate Veteran In 1902. The late Sumner A. Cunningham, editor of the Veteran, was, one of the most interested workers for the enterprise, and wrote numberless articles dealing with the subject. The first con tributor to the Shiloh monument fund was Mr. Jacobus S. Jones of Washington, D. C. At a national meeting of the U. D. C. held at Gulfport, Miss., in 1900, a Shiloh monument direc tor for each Southern state whs appointed, and Mrs. A. Ii. White of Paris, Tenn.. was made di rector general of the entire work. This office Mrs. White has held ever since. The successful culmination of the work is largely due to her enthusiasm and fine management. A sister work of the Shiloh memorial was the erection by the U. D. C. of the beautiful Con federate monument In Arlington cemetery a few years aeo. The cost of both memorials was the same, $r0,000. The unveiling of the Arlington monument took thousands of interested specta tors to the national cemetery from all parts of the country. The address of President Taft. on this occasion, attracted the attention of the whole country for its notably generous spirit and sym pathettc understanding of the attitude of ihe Southern people toward their beloved dead who fell in thrstorm of the sixties. Shiloh Military park, which takes in about ten acres of the battlefield, lies Just off Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee river and only a few miles from Corinth. Miss. The cemetery con tains more than a hundred handsome monuments erected by Northern states to the Federal dead. The states of Illinois, Wisconsin. Iowa, Pennsyl vania and Indiana have spent more than $20,000 on monuments and markers. 'Weil-kept gravel walks wind In and out among the glistening marbles. The roads stretching to Corinth are the same over which the Confederates traveled after the battle of the second day when the forces were outnumbered by those of Buell and Grant. Points of particular interest in Shiloh National Military park are the portion known as the "Hornet's Nest," where the conflict waged fiercest; the famous "Bloody Pond." whose wa ters were crimson with the blood of the Con federates; the noted spring which quenched the thirst of the wounded; the site of the little log meeting house, whose sides were spattered with blood and which gave Its name to the battle that raged around It. And then there are the many beautiful monuments erected by the government. The Confederate dead lie in six trenches, the only markers being a cannon ball at head and fool. Only three monuments in the entire park are to Southerners: One to the memory of the Second Tennessee (Bale's) regiment, and monu ments built by the U. I. C. of Arkansas and Ala bama. Thp government erected a monument at the spot where Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston died as a marker for a historic snot. Nearby Is the oak tree under which the great leader received his deuth wound. The inscription on the monu ment reads: ("JEN. ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON. COMMANDING THE CONFEDERATE ARMY, DIED HERE AT 2:30 O'CLOCK P. M.. APRIL 6, 1S32. Mocking birds and thrushes sing today over the green acres that once presented a scene of devas tation and death. It is difficult to realize that here on this stretch of meadowland, where nod the goldenrod and 'wild hyacinth, once was piled high with the bodies of the dead. However, In the minds of many who attend the unveiling of the memorial to the heroes in gray, the white haired survivors of that conflict, only too vividly will the picture come back. But then, "to live In hearts we leave behind is not to die." Rare Old Stuff From South America A rare collection of archeological objects from the department of lea. Peru, was recently pur chased by Mr. A. J. Juilliard and presented to the American museum. This collection represents the results of numerous expeditions during the last nine years by Mr. Manuel Montero to the desert regions to ihe south and west of lea. These visits to the prehistoric burial grounds were his vaca tions, and every object in the collection was exca vated by him. The most notable objects are nine large shawllike garments covered with conven tional figures in embroidery. The beautiful color schemes seen in these textiles make them a joy lo the artist, and they will doubtless be copied eag erly by the u timorous art students who make con stant use of the. American museum collections. Besides these shawllike garments there are many smaller pieces of rloth which are highly orna mented. The metal work of these ancient people is rep resented by objects in silver and copper. There are several pairs of large silver ear plugs, orna mented with embossed figures of birds, silver tweezers also ornamented with raised bird figures, and several 'Iuim', pins with finely executed figures of birds an. I pumas on the upper ends. The other ob jects in tin- collectlou consist principally of the women's workbaskets, Villi spindles and various colored threads, a loom with cloUi In process of weaving, feather ornaments, slings, nmsicai ihsivu ments and a few choice pieces of pottery.

Didn't See It. An excitable Irishman riding in an open car signaled the conductor to stop at the corner. He jumped off anyway, and found himself landed In an exca vation. Scrambling out, he rushed up to a policeman. "Did you see that?" he asked Indig nantly. "I did," said the policeman. "It was your own fault." "I'm not asking whose fault it was, I'm asking you did you see that." "I did not," said the policeman, turn ing his back. The Expense. in favor of peace at any Tobacco Sales Decrease. Raleigh.

By that report, Winston-Salem leads as the largest tobacco reporting market while Wilson follows second. "I am price."
