Let It be said ' l: hv WAV nf nawAvt.lt.u.la .5 'ent signs the exposition wiU be an i 'even greater success this . year than wanthe first one, last fall, which was, success, due mainly to the wisdom, j energy and talent for organization and ( puuiuuy 01 lis promoters, tt was at the same time a. superb advertisement j for Knoxville. i; Air. I-'inley spoke with, his usual ;." Ibroad optimism and encouragement,. Referring to the exposition he offered might. In general. Just as appropriate ; ly have been uttered in Asheville, with .'.i the subject the first western North m Carolina fair, to be held here In the "A 'autumn: "Among the many factors In bring' lng about a higher degree of agricul tural and Industrial development, none Is more helpful than a great fair or exposition such as the Appalachian texpositlon, to be held in your enter jirising city during the coming au tumn. The men who are planning for this exposition and upon whom the Tourden of carrying It through success- fully will fall, are performing a public-spirited and patriotic duty of the highest value to Knoxvllle end to this entire Appalachian region. They de- v-, serve, and I am sure that they will '.' : receive, the cordial and helpful sup "t pott of all their fellow citizens. - This 7 exposition. In which will be concen ., , trated samples of all of your best pro- 'j ducts, will open the eyes of visitor i from other parts of the United States ; to the possibilities of this region and v to the wonderful variety of opportunl ' ties which it affords. However, while . It is desirable that you should attract p visitors from other sections, I believe f. that this exposition will be particular- ly useful on account of Its educational .J value to your own people. They will (. see hcru what the most successful man i In each line is accomplishing. They 1 will nnt nntv baa what h h ajl rinn. J 'but will learn how he has done it, and -. , the result will be a more general r bl option of improved industrial and . mgricultursl methoda In this ronnec- f tion. If 1 way presume U. offer some (Suggestions to the president and board jol directors of the Appalachian expo pitlon, I would urge that special sitorts be made to bring together live stock and dairy exhibits that will be in the highest degree educational. I would also recommend that. In addl tlon to a comprehensive display of he resources of this region In their raw state. It Is particularly desirable that you should have very complete exhibits of the products of your Ap Dalachian Industries, showing what o ou are doing with your raw materials. I would suggest further that. If It has toot already been arranged for. partlc iular attention should be glvea to the Installation at the exposition of a bu reau of Information where visitors torn other parts of the United States tan secure detailed and accurate ad vice us to the agricultural and Indus trlul opportunities of this region, and .especially as to the opportunities for is, further diversification of your manu factiirlng by the location of industries which are not now represented here, .but f'r which you can supply the raw materials. .. THE BEGINNING QF THE ENP. It Is the beginning of the end of the big pension grab, and brave men. who actually fought and suffered for the union cause' will rejoice that the time approaches when, that cause will no longer be exploited by greed and Im posture for the spoliation of the pub lic treasury. ' The hasty pension legislation which was planned to , be rushed . through will not be considered at this extra session of congress, nor indeed will any pension legislation be enacted. Is the 'announcement of Chairman Un derwood of the committee on .ways and means of the house of represen tatives. .' : . .'. ' ' Further announcement ' Is made that the regular pension legislation, to be taken up . when the congress convenes next in regular session, will be carefully restricted In character, providing no pensions for "soldiers who have never been within five hun dred miles of a battlefield." " There are more pensioners of the war of the States now, 60 years after the end of It, we believe, than there have been at any time, unless perhaps period just a few years ago. And, nowadays, the great bulk . of the money must necessarily be going to people who have but a fictitious claim upon it a great injustice to the rem nant of survivors who actually under went the labors of field and camp and exposed their bodies . to the , leaden death. . "J JUl 5 THE RICHTHOFEN CASE. An Associated Press cablegram from Berlin yesterday chronicled Vrlefly the fact that a German court had Imposed the sentence of two years In prison upon the Baron Os wald von RIchthoTen, who on May 10 killed Wllhelm von Gaffron In duel, which proceeded from a quarrel over money matters. This tragedy has greatly aroused the people of Germany. It has fur nlfihed a most forcible example of the survival of ths medieval In what Is In many respects the most enllght Vned Ftate In Europe. The facts are thfue: Von GafTron, former ex-army offl .-r had loaned von Rlehthofen, son of the late Imperial secretary of for ' i- iin ufTalrs, the sum of 2B,Po8 marks.

Train Will Leave Here in the Morning and Return the Following Afternoon. " .. .. Gazette-News Bureau, ' , The Hotel Raleigh, Raleigh, July 20. A LIBEL suit for $10,000 damages t eacn against tne Asheville cm a sen and the Raleigh News and Observer has been brought in the Superior court of Wilson county by W .M. Carter, according to the Wit son Times. The allegations of libel are based, so the complaint, which was filed yesterday, sets forth, upon the publication of an editorial in the Asheville Citizen which was later printed in the News and Observer wherein Mr. Carter's connection with the Ware-Kramer Tobacco company Is touched upon. Mr. Carter, it will be recalled, was named in the orlg lnal pleadings as a co-defendant with the American Tobacco company and the Wells-Whitehead Tobacco com pany in the suit whereby the Ware Kramer company asked for J 1,2 00, 000 damages because the American Tobacco -company crushed Its busi ness. During the trial of the suit it developed that the plaintiffs ' could not make good on the charge that Carter conspired with the American Tobacco company to destroy the bus Iness of the plaintiff and a non-suit as to Carter, was ordered entered by the court. As a matter of fact the verdict of the "Jury, by which only a Judgment of $70,000 was signed, In cluding attorney's feea for the plain tiff, shows there was not such a great case made out after all, In the minds of the Jurors. The Paragraph 'Complained Of. The plaintiff, W. M. Carter, sets forth that the following paragraph is defamatory and untrue, and la made basis for action: . . . .. '; ... .,s "It the charges made against the American Tobacco company as filed by the Ware-Kramer . company are true, the former firm stands revealed as the : heartless and soul-grinding corporation It has often been pic tured. Press dispatches . tell of methods used by the American syn dicate in crushing Its former - com petitor methods which savor of the cut-throat and thug. Among other things It Is charged that one W. M. Carter, agent of the American To bacco -company, took -stock In the Ware-Kramer company, was put in charge of the sales department at a good salary and was later found to be undermining his employers In ev ery way possible. While drawing their money he was busily engaged in decreasing their prestige and busi ness.' Besides setting out this paragraph the Wilson Times says: "The plain tiff further avers in his complaints that the publication of said article was wilful and malicious and has damaged him In his reputation and business In a large sum, to-wlt, in the sum of $10,000 In each Instance. "That by reason of the publics tlon of seld fklse and defamatory article by the defendants and giving the same, a large circulation, this plaintiff has been injured in his repu tation, character and standing as I business mm and In his business in the sum of $10,000. " Made Drnuuul for' Retraction. "That more than five days prior to the bringing of this actios the plain tiff, through his attorneys, made de mand upon the defendants la writing for a retraction of said defamatory article." ' . , During '.the recent trial of the Ware-Kramer suit here before Judge Connor It was brought out In evi dence that Mr. Carter was for a while manager of 'the Wells-Whitehead company and that he went Into the Ware-Kramer company at the solid' tation of soma of the stockholders of the Ware-Kramer company. A let ter was read and identified by Mr Ware as being his wherein Mr. Ware said hs welcomed Carter Into the company for a purpose.' If the suit comes to trial doubtless It will bring out matters of considerable Interest. The great store house of H. Red wood & Co-., on Patton avenue has In truth been .changed . Into a veritable palace of daylight" 8lnce the fire several weeks ago,, which greatly damaged the upper portion of the building, the entire structure has been remodeled and reflnished and now H. Redwood & X. occupy the three- story building and basemnet entirely. In remodeling the building the firm gave specific attention to light and the many patrons who dally visit the Btore fully realize the success that attended that effort There Is not a portion of the store house that Is not almost as light as outdoors. The skylight has been extended across the entire top of the building, while the light shaft Is 12 feet wide and extends from the first floor to the skylight, thus flooding the entire building, with light The old stairway that led to the sec ond and third floors from the street has been torn away and a stairway built Inside, starting near the front entrance and center of the store ana leading to the Becond floor by easy stages and then to the third floor. The doors have all bee nrelald ana tne walls reflnished.' The store Is just as handsome Inside a, sit is light In occupying the entire three floors the firm will add greatly to Its stock, The first floor will be devoted to cloth ing and men's furnishings on one side and to dress goods, notions and other ladies' wares on the other. The second floer will be given over to ladies' ready to wear garments in the front while the rear of the second floor space will be occupied by a com plete line of carpets, druggets, rugs, trunks, grips, etc. The third floor will be used entirely for duplicate stock and wholesale. The firm's buyer, Mr. Redwood, wi'i leave within a few days for the north ern markets to purchase a complete new stock of goods.- l.
