A recent Issue of The "Washington tost contained Iho followiiiK: "Woodworth flum. one of the best known newspaper men In WashlnKton. left yesterday for New York, and will ail from that port to-morrow for Pan ama, where he will spend some weeks In an Investigation of conditions on the Isthmus, and will report the facts about them In a series of letters to Tho Wah logton PoBt. "Mr. Clum doen not go to Panama ns in engineer, sanitary expert or special commissioner. lie goes as a reporter, in structed to make a, thorough examina tion Into conditions and to report them (accurately. There will be no technical tior theoretlcMl convulsions nor editorial opinion In his letters. Ho will tell of the number of persons on the zone, how they Jive. What they earn, what they eat. What It costs them, and what progress Is being made on the great enterprise. The facts may be favorable to the Panama Canal commissioners and they may not; The Post readers will get the facts." This announcement Is of Interest to Observer readers because of the fact tbat we have made arrangements by Which Mr. Chun's letters will appear in tills paper simultaneously with their publication In The I'ost. Mr. (Mum, as Stated above, Is a well-known young newspaper man and there Is every rea son to believe that he will send accu rate reports of the progress of the ca nal work. i Mr. Clum, as will doubtless be re called by many Charlotte citizens, vis ited this city i)ome years ago as a bi cycle rider and attracted special atten tion by winning several races over Fred Rchadc. the young fellow from Virginia who had previously been Weeping everything before him. We have for some time been anxious to get reliable Information as to the real situation at Panama and some months ago subscribed to a series of 1 letters to be furnished by a represen tative of a leading New York publish ing house, who was to be sent to the canal zone. The plan, however, foil through and the writer did not make the trip. We .no advised when Mr. Clum's flist lerw-r may he expect ed, but it will likely appear within the tint three or four weeks.

TOMPKINS THE PROBLEM STTfcL L'NSETTLED. ' Then "was never, perhaps, i. ay more stubborn problem i presented te any people tnatf thaf of dntrolUrtr5' the whlefcey traffic,; A aperlal instance of thiar Is shown by the experience of our neighboring town Monroe. -In order to ' enforce the' county prohibition aw a special act established a medical dis pensary. Thl dispensary Is for , the ale of liquor on - proscriptions only and the regulations In regard thereto are said to be very rigid. The'dlspen sary was opened last July and for the first month only about 70 prescriptions were filled and the advocates of the institution were well pleased with the experiment. In August, however, we are told, the record" showed 139 crn serlptlons filled. The Increase contin ued until for the twentyelght days of February, the last month recorded, the number of prescriptions filled Is given as 733 at a cost of $412.50. These fig ures are contained In a fugitive para-J graph that has been going the rounds recently and while there is no reason to doubt their accuracy, we cannot vouch for them. If they are correct, the prediction ventured by one news paper that ere long the medical dis pensary will do as much 'business as the Charlotte drug stores seams likely of fulfillment. The failure of every movement hon estly undertaken in the Interest of temperance is to be deplored. For that reajion The Observer, among: oth ers, hoped that the South Carolina dis pensary would prove a Holutlon of the liquor problem and In its early days urged that it be given a fair trial, and when It turned out worse than a fail ure we were very much disappointed. Only one thing seems to be settled with regard to the liquor question save the fact that there is always a way to get the stuff and that Is that the less the officers of the law have to do with the handling of whiskey the better for the community. The Wilmington Messenger doesn't believe that the people of North Caro lina are for Mr. Hryan for President in ISHiS, and thinks that If nominated he will get fewer votes In this Ktate than he did at either previous time when he was a candidate. It contin ues: "The Democrats of this Htate are no longer under the lash of a few party rulers as they were In tho pust. It Is strange that these men cannot learn this. The time has passed when the slate can be made up In Italelgh and forced down the threats of the masses of the party. Men will claim the right to strike from their ballots the names of certain men they think unfit for the offices to which they have been nominated and still de mand the right to be culled Democrats and the privilege to affiliate with that parly. Hut if they are threatened with expulsion from the party for pursuing such a course, then their votes will be lust to Hie whole ticket." Such talk Is likely to cause our Wil mington contemporary to be read out of the party even before the catil paign opens. According to the first organized cen hus of the Hrltlsh Knipire, recently Is sued, the Kmplre consists of alKiut 1I,9U8,(H)0 aqua re milift, r more than one-fifth of the entire land area rf the world.

V im in 1 1 , W" i LtncWn, ,fctanbst and Adjoining? , Counties Are Moving Forward With ' GraUfymjs Stride - Along Many Maes f vv ' (l To the Editor of The Observer: ' , -The writer - recently took a cross country",' trlp - from east Lincoln through Catawba county to Hickory, and he wishes to, rtva a few facts con cerning the general air of prosperity which hovers over every foot of ..the section- of county spoken of. I re marked to my " fellow-traveler , that wiwv v iub" 9aiw uf in uvu a van s v- ure, for jiothlng Is sor good for a, peo ple in health, peace,' contentment and morals yes, moralsas , substantial, material prosperity' and 'growth. One thing there was which peculiarly ana particularly struck me with force on this line. That was the very large number of new dwellings, barns and outhouses newly put up and going up. For instance, a year or so ago, I wen over thin same ground and at that time observed but few. very few, new houses. It is very well known that Lincoln Catawba, and contiguous counties are good farming sections. As . to this matter. I also noted a very marked and decided Improvement on all lines I clearing, better tillage, better methods, and better stock of all kinds. I could not but come to but one conclusion Without doubt our farming people are In better fix in every way than they have been in many years. To a man who la a sort of corn-fed philosopher, must here give expression to what every one knows: That the-farmer, be ing the foundation man. should have If .any kind of class distinction should ever be made. Inside runnings . He lias had and haa it now; and it is poor kind of a man in other callings of life who doeH not really rejoice at n. I know that I do. Truth to tell a I remarked to my traveling com panlon. th farmer really has as much right to "charge" so much for every bale of cotton, or any other article of his product, as has the mechant to "charge" the farmer so much; or has any other business man lo set a price on what he 'has to offer. If any one can see anything else but sound Judg ment and reason in this proposition he can e more than I can. It Is merely a Just evening up and balanc Ing of matters, no more. But enough here. In Now'ton and Hickory building and improvement Is going on by leaps and bounds. New dwellings might be tKHlced here and there, not by ones and twos, but by dozens. Even Con over, a good little town. Is building up The rural free delivery system Is be ing added to all along through the sect ion of county mentioned In this article. I was glad to observe this. Hickory and Newton are manufac turing towns. In fact, things are be- ingWnade In these lesser towns now which the average man has no idea of; things whh4i have, in other years (rime from Yunkeedom. Than, this, there 1 no better criticism of. real prosperity ami solidity. Home pro (luctlon Is the hope and help and sal vatlon of any people, as it has ever been. The beauty in It is, now at last our people have ceased theoriz ing and are doing, doing! Good, and very good. Where mere material prosperity goes on. moral progression ever goes along and keeps step. Nice, substan tial churches are going up and have gone up here, there arid yonder. Even :i man who gives small pretense to morals: In himself or moral ethecs can but rejoice to see this, granting he an see no higher than material and ."elfish things; for these things are put and parcel and big parcel," at that of material growth and general uplifting of any people; a sine qua non. Indeed. Ho this matter is writ ten of gladly, also. I like a. man who is an optimist There Is small hope of one who Isn't; for If such an one be not himself able to contribute much to tho general ginrd. this very uplrlt. seen and given expression to. Is really more of a help than mie might suppose. But in the ase of the waller find lessimist in deed, lie Is a nuisance to himself, to vc ylxHly. ami Just so much dead im iirnbraiice to be carried and borne wiih lie must stand from under now more than ever before, because there Is small place for him.

She' wore a ' divinely -bright and beautiful pair of deep brown eyes, and she was of the Biae and figure that all men dote on a descendant of Katrina van Tas sel. She came first into the business of fice and sat down, confidently, by the Big Duffer, opened her hand and laid out a bundle of "Spare Moments," a monthly quaal-maaazlne for which she solicits. When the Big Duffer turned round and saw those rosy, almost weather-beaten cheeks and speakildg eyes, heard that quick voice, with a little accent in it, and that rippling laughter, he caved in at once, and all he wanted lo know was the price. He was her boy from that time. He took her to the other men In the of fice and introduced her with his rec ommendation.' bowing as much as he could. Bu the others were cold, some of them being married and others hav ing been bitten. She got. one or two subscribers among them, and was starting out, when one of the city of fice boys, who came in to peep at his mail basket, started lo go out. The Big Duffer sicked her on him. She grabbed his arm to hold him, but he had spirit: he felt around, got hold of her sweet hand, and pulled her in to his own office. Here the fun began. -She was given audience, first, to tell that she Bet out ten months ago to get 50.C0O subscrtD era; thai she has now 21,00015,000. of whom are newsDaner men that In a day and a half heie she secured 300. The boys then began to lionize her. After the hardest sort of a dayfs work, she was fresh as a morning rose. Willie, the errand boy, worshlpfully brought her the best chair in the room which she occupied with a little sigh. Even Adams ceased work and left his desk for a better position. 'I'm going to write you up in the morning," said a reporter, "you sweet thing!" What?" cried Buck, sasslly. "Write up a lady who has been on tne go ior 30 years, all by yourself?" She reached and pulled Buck s red hai.v All the boys had lounged about, sit ting on the long table and standing to look at the temporary exotic. You're pretty enough to quit your soliciting and give somebody time to won you." She shook her head and laughed, so that her white teeth shone. -Well. If you'd run up with a man a man that vou nalurany itkea aown to hard pan?" Ah, ha. ha!" she laughed. "I'd quit tho road. 'But what sort of man .' 'Oh. a sauare set man. with," look ing at and fingering Huck's hair, "light hair." and stooping to see his eyes they being really brown and wltn blue eyes, and auburn complexion. This raised such a roar that the business office boys were drawn In and took position to see the fun. Ev erybody in the office subscribed, to say nothing of strangers who hap pened ln. Nobody wanted the sheet for himself. Miss Marguerite had no isset but her looks and her ways. But these, were worth the. cash. un. to think that millions of people have lived a Jong tt)m$ and have not seen her! SHOOTERS ENTHUSIASTIC.

The present fashion is a revival of the empire period. This is stiown in tiny hats ' bright colors and plaid effects One of the leading modes of the season is tie high crowned, short-brimmed sailor. The Leg- horn hat bids fair to be one of the most desir able of the season. It is surprising to see the unpepected forms .in ,: which.' it. .V.-presSeiltei It comes in small fancy shapes, in flat and batter-bowl plateaux, in flats and all sorts of crowns, i nese are bent ana twisted into tiny draped shapes until they make a typical spring hat. The "Cornet" is another of the new features of millinery. It can better be described as a Cornacopia. Its splendid pos- -sibility for use cannot be realized until one actually handles it, and sees how a few deft touches convert it into a toque of fascinating lines, or a cunning small hat, as fancy may desire Ribbons vie with flowers in point of popu- larity. Immense quantities of both are used. ! In All-over Laces, Tt T" T snown. 1 ne caby lrisn L,ace is perhaps the most highly favored. Val Lace Edging will also be much used. This is truly a lace sea son for hats and gowns. Great interest is hats. Special misses in this direction. There it is difficult for the young girl to be becom- , ingly hatted. We therefore call special atten- 3 tion to the charming .designs for the miss, entering her teens. As spring: approaches, woman's thoughts naturally turn to the spring wear. Gray propriate for tailor-made suits. Light weight J woolens in plain goods, checked designs, 1 Voils and Eoliennes are much sought after u or late spring wear. The new silks are soft, pliable and lust rous. Louisine and Taffeta are much used for costumes and the rough woven Pongees are , suitable for tailored Coat Suits and Costumes.
