PAPER s MAKING ON THE SOUTH ATLANTIC If you have to eat your words1, con serve them for the balance of the war. Those who take it easy find it mighty hard to take something home Saturday night. "The Kaiser Is sick." You'd be sick too, if you could foresee what is com ing to you. The great majority of the people of a nation must think alike before it can have a national soul. When you are feverish and cross, take something for it instead of taking it out on somebody else. Don't let the grass grow under your feet on account of the war. It will continue o grow there after the war. Editors who discuss Russian condi tions would be surprised to know what Russian conditions are. They could Quit guessing them. The world war has caused tbe price of silver to rise' almost to the sixteen-to-one ratio value. The wheat argu ment was not In it with war. Colonel Roosevelt has freely advised the Russians what to do, but owing to the fact that there are 165,000,000 Rus sians, the war will be over before they will find out what the Colonel's advice was. The best is always saved for the last, so the South, with its marvel ous adaptabilities and advantages, seems to have been held in reserve as the Nation's. Garden Spot and livestock Eldorado. The Charleston Chamber of Com merce Is making efforts to get motion picture companies to establish their studios In Charleston. Wilmington's good roads, water scenes, and attract ive environments ought to appeal very strongly to the film makers. About all you can expect of people is -that almost half of them will heed advice. The others won't take advice because IVm their opinion that they can give better advice to tfrose who try to advise them. About the best that can be expected is to preserve the equili brium of Judgment or possibly to se cure a favorable balance of common sense. The New Bern Fair Is down for Oc tober 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th. Craven ought to send some of her exhibits to the Cape Fear Corn Exposition to be held la Wilmington from the 6th to the 8th of November. All people Interest ed In the progress of Eastern North Carolina ought to make it a point to come to Wilmington for at least one or two days of the four days of marvel ous exhibition of the productive versa tility and live stock adaptabilities of the whole of alluvial Carolina. Savannah, taking the lead of other South Atlantic localities with ideal adaptabilities for manufacturing pulp and paper, witnessed last week the in auguration of operations at the fine plant of the , Atlantic Paper and Pulp Corporation, which started up its mill September 15th. The weeks' run was highly successful and the new industry for the Georgia city has greatly Inter ested the business men of the oity. They naturally wonder winy in the world Savannah has not long ago had a paper ami pulp making Industry, considering the fine resources availa ble to It. However, it is now a verita ble industry, the fine opportunity for which has been neglected all these years. Because of the beginning of this in dustry. Savannah, has had an immense amount of publicity all over America during the past week. Nearly every Northern newspaper and magazine' has had an account of this new enterprise at Savannah, and it is welcomed as one more pulp and paper mill as a means towards making America independent of the foreign supply. An article i the Philadelphia Public Ledger say the manufacture of pulp and paper adds a new chapter to Savannah's com mercial history, yet It took Northern capitalists to see the opportunity and take advantage 'of it. That certainly is a reflection on local visuality. For the last twenty years Norway and Sweden have been supplying this and other countries with what is known as "kraft" paper pulp, made by the sulphate process from resinous woods. The Atlantic company now be comes one of the dozen concerns in the United States producing this commod ity, and is the only plant of its kind in the southeastern seaboard territory. It will turn out about sixty tons of pulp daily. Owing to the rapid growth of the parcels post traffic and the consequent need of strong light containers and packing cases, there has been an un precedented demand for the tough "kraft" materials and there is no let up in sight. The scarcity of ln and glassware has also been a factor. The Atlantic Paper and Pulp Corpo ration's capitalization consist of $300, 000 6 per cent mortgage bonds, $200, 000 7 per cent preferred stock and 10, 000 shares of common without par value. Isaac H. Fetty, head of the Port Wentworth Lumber Company and the Savannah River Lumber Company, is also president of the paper corpora tion. Directors include Hugh H. Le vick, of Lee, Higginson & Co., and Jas. Imbrie, of William Morris Imbrie & Co. At present the United States is still importing- Swedish and Norwegian pulp, as the magnitude of the demand for strong, light containers and pack ing cases, as well as heavy paper for commercial uses, makes a strong mar ket for all (the stook available either here or' in foreign countries. This very plainly indicates what a conspic uous opportunity is this Industry for Southern timber sectons, such as those of whch Savannah and Wilmington are notable oetners. The promoters of the Savannah mill are satisfied with the Immense avalla ble supply of timber for their mill, yet Wilmington has the advantage of a timber supply three times greater than that at Savannah. -TtitB is not at all a detrraction of the pulp and paper manufacturing- possibilities at Savan- hah, because that cannot be gainsaid, but The Star mentions It to show what an exceptionally fine opportunity ex ists at Wilmington for a similar in dustry.. This vast opportunity at Wil mington certainly ought to be very at tracting to both home end outside cap ital. We are confident that if strong local interests would take hold of this matter in a vigorous manner, Wil mington could have a pulp and paper mill in six months. The chief advantage that Savannah will have in her pulp and paper mill Is that other industries will spring up along with it for the utilization of the pulp and paper in the manufacture of retainers and commercial commodi ties into which pulp material enters. Since Savannah has led the way, Wilmington's very next Important in dustry should be a pulp and paper mill. Careful surveys of the timber region within a 50 mile radius of Wilmington demonstrates that within this close in timber region, covering more than two thousand square miles of forest growth, the timber is available to both water and rail transportation. This is en immense advantage. The Star has often pointed to the fact that Wilmington has 500 miles of steam boating waters, giving her access to the interior, but a recent waterways survey shows that these waterways and their tributaries afford 1,000 miles of rafting waters. We are willing to venture the assertion that no other commercial and Industrial center east of the Mlseisslppi river can equal it, yet all this available territory, with its water and rail transportation, is a region of amazing resources In tim ber and lands. The best of all these advantages Is that the timber region in this section naturally reforests itself, a marvelous condition which forest experts say puts this region in a class by itself. Pulp and paper men say they are confident that within e few years this self-refor esting region must be depended upon for the bulk of the supply needed in the United States. A SOUTHERN SHOW WITH THE SOUTH LEFT OUT. The Srrathern Commeroial Congress expected its meeting this year to be the biggest in its history and for that reason it accepted the invitation of New York to meet in the biggest city in America and the greatest city In the world. Not only have New York's business men and financiers co-operated in making elaborate arrangements for the meeting but they have secured a whole hotel for the holding of a Southern States exposition, but con cern lag both these October events It is said in the Chamoer of Commerce department of the Charleston Post: The ohamber has received a re minder of the annual meeting of the CURRENT COMMENT A strong- effort Is being put - forth by County Agent W. P. Holt to in troduce pure-bred cattle In Stokes, and a visit to some of the leading dairy farms of the state located in Catawba and Iredell counties Is being planned by Mr. Holt, when a num ber of the leading farmers of the coun ty wi;i visit the piaces mentioned above. The object of the trip, which will be made In about two weeks, is to allow our people to see the prac tical side of dairy farm work and to purchase such bure-bred cattle as they see fit: The trip will be made In cars and will consume two or three days probably. Danbury (N. C Reporter. The Robeson county Indian is giving trouble In another direction. The or- Southern Commercial Congress, which der for the forty per cent of the draft will be held this year In New York. October 15 to 17. It is improbable that under present conditions the chamber will take an active part in this year's convention of the congress, and infor mation from many other Southern cities is to much the eame effect. The Southern States Exposition, a part of the congress, will be held at a New York hotel, October 13 to 20." If what the Post says is correct, there is to be held in New York a great Southern meeting and a South ern States Exposition with the South left out altogether like a production of Hamlet with the Hamlet left out. We hope It is not true that Charles ton and "many other Southern cities" will not be represented at the October meeting of the Southern Commercial Congress and that Southern States Ex position. The Southern States and Southern cities- have had a whole year to prepare for this event and If they are not represented it certainly will indicate a state of stagnation that has no reason for existence. Southern States ana cities are anx ious for publicity for the resources and possibilities and the progress and development of the South, and hun dreds of thousands of dollars are be ing spent for what is supposed to be publcity, yet there seems to be indif ference to. the greatest opportunity for publicity that the South has ever had. A successful meeting of the Southern Commercial Congress would be herald ed all over the world as indicating the spirit and progress of the South, but a flat failure of the South's New York meeting would emphasize those "cer tain conditions" mentioned by the Post. New York, if not the world, would take those conditions to mean that the South is a dead duck. The South marvels at the slowness of the world to recognize its immense possibilities, but when we deliberate ly neglect a magnificent opportunity to make known those possibilities we need not wonder at all that it takes the world an age to learn about the South's resources. Since Wilmington is anxious for effective publicity. The Star hopes that the Oape Fear city will be represented in New York. This is a good time to show that we are not in a mummy state. OUR COUNTY GOVERNMENT INEF-FICI1SWOY. quota was for white men. There be ing but 15 per cent of whites left, it was manifestly impossible to comply with the adjutant's request. Since the late Mr. Hamilton McMillan's "Lost Colony" theory was adopted by law, and later given recognition in the con stitution, through the late Senator J. F. Payne, Robeson has three races of men. The colored race has the "Jim Crow" ear provided by law, but no "John Red" arrangement has been le galized and hence often to the cha grin of many white people mingle with the vhites in car and depot. The government tried to get. the exemption board to certify these drafted Indians as white men, but the board decided that they could not take that step, since for political, or politician's expediency, j they had been already re-created into a new race by law. However, they j may go to Camp Jackson today and I the commander of the National Army can make whatever race of them that he is most in need of at present. Ex- j pedlents seldom work well and re- ; creatine a race is no exception. slnc ! the Almiehtv has drawn the bounda- i ries. Maxton Scottish Chief. New Discovery! Takes Place of Dangerous Calomel It Puts Your Liver To Work Without Making You Sick Eat Anything It Can Not Salivate Don't Lose a Day's Work! "Ominous of u. Bad Siftm." During a recent bombardment . of Venice by an Austrian aircraft, among the few objects damaged wa a por trait of the Kaiser hanging on the walls of a palace in which he had once been a guest. As the late "Extra Bil ly" Smith would say, this is "ominous of a damned bad sign", for the Hohen- sollern. Norfolk (Virginia) Pilot. In 1913 the cost of county govern ment In North Carolina was nearly $7,000,000, more than twioe the cost of state government, according to a coun ty government study appearing In the North Carolina University News Let ter under date of -September 20. The feature article In that publication is a comprehensive and statistical discus sion of this question, and while it re lates specifically to North Carolina it also takes in American county government. That North Carolina Club study pro nounces county government "the least creditable institution In America," and we don't think the cities can dispute it and claim that credit for municipal government, which ! not very far be hind county government. Generally speaking, county government is a re flection on popular government, and the club study makes out a good case against the "jungle" syetem of com mune government in this country. While county government in Carolina makes a bad showing and costs nearly $7,000,000 a year, there are people who want every legislature to establish more new counties for enrollment into our inefficient county system, which, however, is hardly a system at all. We quote from the News Letter: Tobody knows how the county stands not even the county commis sioners, in many instances. Usually there is no exhibit under classified headings, and so nobody can tell ex actly how much is spent for this or that purpose say on paupers, the to tal number or the per capita cost; or on roads the miles built, the average cost per mile of the different kinds of road, the per capita daily cost of con victs, work animals and the like, and the share of the various townships in the expenditure for roads and brides during the year. "Thet newspaper reports of accounts audited by the commissioners from time to time are full of typographical errors. Besides, they are a meaningless jumble of dates, names, and amounts that defy classification. We know, be cause for three years we have been trying to ascertain from these data how the tax moneys of the county are applied to the various departments of county welfare. "And. by the way, during these three year the commissioners of this county have given to the taxpayers no com plete and detailed statement of county finances. "In another county only one annual county exhibit has been given to the public in 20 years. In other counties the taxpayers have had to get special audits by applying to the courts. And so on and on." This is only a brief part of the sur vey, and certainly those people who think they can run counties ehould send for the News Letter and see howi it is themselves. Meanwhile, legisla tures which generally- get a lot of praise every two years should see the News Letter and get their real measure. Among the North Carolina Indus-; tries that, have lately sprung into : prominence the cheese manufactured ; in Watauga and other counties is at tracting unusual attentions Connois seurs who have tested the Watauga sample declare It to be the equal of any cheese that is made domestic or foreign, while some go so far as tr state that it is far superior to tne English and Swiss varieties so popu lar in this country. All of which again brings up the question of the splendid opportunities for profitable cheese making to be found in Western North Carolina. Farmers in the middle and eastern sections of the state long ago realized the fact that the war in Eu rope created a scarcity of cheese, as well as in other food commodities. Thus it has happened that cheese from the Old North State has eo". abroad. and has been bought or ?Tie allied governments at very tempting prices. At the Episcopal farm in Watauga county cheese making has become a fine art, and some of its product thai has found its way to this city may be classed as a delicacy. If Watauga can produce nne cheese, why cannot Buncombe and other counties do like wise? No section of the state is bet ter suited for pasturage than our own, and certainly there is as much profit in cheese as there is in milk and but ter. It was stated recently that a large purchase of land has been made in the Ivy section, and that an enter prising individual will shortly begin to manufacture cheese in that lo cality. Such an example should be contagious, and we have no doubt that the successful manufacture of this commodity in Western North Carolina is not far distant. Along: this line we would again 'add a word in behalf of the movement to encourage the more expensive raising of sheep and cattle in Western North Carolina. Never were times more full of promise; never were opportunities more alluring than the present, and the farmer is surely blind to his own Interests who neglects to hear the call. The old objection against sheep raising the inroads made by worthless dogs can be over come by united action, and it be hooves the farmers of this section to lend a willing ear when the apostles of sheep raising take to the stump. q Asheville Citizen. I "discovered a vegetable compound that does the work of dangerous, sickening calomel and I want every reader of this paper to try a bottle and if it doesn't straighten you up better and quicker than salivating calomel just go back to the store and get your money.

I guarantee that one spoonful of this harmless liquid liver medicine will relieve the headache, bil iousness, coated tongue, ague, malaria, sour stom ach or any other distress caused by a torpid liver as quickly as a dose of vile, nauseating calomel, besides it will not make you sick or keep you from a day's work. I want to see a bottle of this won derful liver medicine in every home here. Calomel is poison it's mercury it attacks the bones, often causing rheumatism. Calomel is dan gerous. It sickens while my Dodson's Liver Tone is safe, pleasant and harmless. Eat anv thing afterwards, because it can not salivate. Give it to the children because it doesn't upset the stom ach or shock the liver. Take a spoonful tonight and wake up feeling fine and ready for a fuu day's work. Get a bottle! Try it!

Of a natural ly open and generous nature, he de spised shams and deceits. Brought up under conditions with few privileges of education, he felt the lack in himself of this early training, but he quietly studied every situation coming into his dealings with those about him, un til his self-madeness gave him an equal footing with those he met, a commer cial and social standing that he had striven to attain from early youth. To others like myself, the passing of Capt. J. W. Harper gives a heart pang. It was good to have had his friendship, his companionship. He al ways seemed so strong, so necessary to this Cape Fear river, with his steamer carrying its hundreds, very many of them humble and grateful recipients of his generosity. A man of this gen eration in heart bigness, the writer is thankful to have been privileged to have enjoyed anu experienced tne com panionship of Captain Harper for so many years. It is a privilege to bear this simple expression to his life, as known and felt by one who has often borne testimony through the press to his acts while he was here among us. CHAS. Li. STEVENS. Southport, N C, Sept. 22, 1917. CAPT. JOHV W. HARPER. Mr. K. 8. Carpenter, State manager of Maccabees, waa in the city yester day on business. Be will leave today for Lumberton. To the Editor of The Star: Being in Wilmington on the morning of the 18th Inst., the day on which the soul of Capt. John W. Harper passed into the Great Beyond, I met and join ed In sympathy and mutual recollec tions With a number of those of our older crowd, who had enjoyed for a score and more years the close friend ship of Captain John. In these recall Ings of the past, what impressed me greatly was that each one talked and felt that to him. Individually, John HarpeT had always been closely asso ciated in personal friendship. No doubt if there could be gathered in conversations the hundreds who have been in contact with the man who has Just passed, this same personal claim would be made, as though the Captain had had in each a close friendship of a personal character. None butj a man of generous nature, of a sympathetic character, could have thus drawn to him so many persons into an intimacy of friendship, so strong and cordial. For more than a quarter of a cen tury the writer has been the recipient of a close and Intimate friendship, un der varied conditions and associations, with Capt. J. W. Harper. At his home, at the writer's home, on board the steamer Wilmington, at every hour of the day and night, fair weather and foul, gliding down the Cape Fear swift ly, or ashore in the fog, in business dealings and social gatherings. On board his steamer, where every plank and rope, every engine fitting, from hull to pilot house, the slightest variation of helmall were as it were, a part of himself. In his personal sea manship, Captain Harper never lacked In a knowledge bf detail that made him the master he was when instant action was demanded. In grasp of any situation, with ability to take the cor rect course to avoid or minimize dan gers, he possessed a genius. It was this control to provide against acci dent that made his history as captain a remarkable one. Hundreds of thou sands of men, women and children traveled on his steamers for over a score of years with not an accident of a serious nature. Without hesitation husbands entrusted to his care their wives and children, eling that on his boat there was safety that could be found nowhere else. Not safety alone made the claim for a sail on the Cape Fear with Captain Harper, but also the courtesies of the steamer, that made each passenger a friend forever after wards. - It was on the human side that Cap tain Harper appealed, all unconsciously to himself. His commanding physique inspired regard and respect, but com bined with an unfailing courtesy, a genuine gentleness of tone and eye ex pression, there could be only a friend ship engendered.

The Red "Cross room in the Ray-Horne building, which will hereafter be the center of the activities of the local chapter, was opened last night with informal exer cises. There were a talk on the Red Cross war work by Hon. N. A. Sin clair, chairman of the Cumberland county exemption board, patriotic rec itations by little Miss Anne Slatter. and National music. Examples of Red Cross knitting and sewing were on ex hibit. Girls in Red Cross costume took a silver offering for the purchase of wool for the knitting of Cumberland's allotment of sweaters, socks and muf flers, and sold candy for the same ob ject, a good sum being secured in this way. The room to be used by the Red Cross was placed at the disposal of the chapter by the owners of the building, W. W. Horne and Lieutenant Donald F. Ray. In connection with Sandhill Fair, which is to be held November 22nd and 23rd, a Berkshire sale, show and con vention will be held with three of the greatest authorities on Berkshire, Messrs.
