There is manifest at present in the Northern newspapers a disposition to coquet with the West and especially the Pacific coast region, which may well cause the alert in that region to seek the xmderlying motive for these long delayed overtures, and what it is that their new triends want. Said the New York Sun recently : "The people of the United States long ago recognized that Seward's Folly," as Alaska was sometimes called in the decade or two after its purchase from Russia in 1867, was a ridiculous mis nomer, merely reflecting the folly and shortsightedness of those who applied it. In reality the purchase of Alaska lor a mere bagatelle 87,200,000 in gold was one of the greatest strokes of statesmanship In the story of American expansion by peaceful acquisition. "What is perhaps not so well known is that even in its present comparatively undeveloped state, Alaska Is by no means an insignificant factor in our national assets. As shown by the re cent report of Clarence Hobart, Collec tor of Customs for Alaska, our north ernmost territory compares most favor ably in the matter of the total volume of its business with that of our insular possessions. The figures for the last month ol 1907 are not yet available, but estimating the business for that month on a basis of the preceding monthly average the Philippine Isl ands and Porto Rico did a total trade in 1907 of $67,821,684 and $57,307,808, re spectively, while Alaska's total for the same period is $48,425,330. Eliminating the toreign trade and taking account only of receipts and shipments to and from the United States, Alaska makes a still l better showing, its total foe 1907 beine S45. 609.947. while the Phil ippines are credited with ,?nly $23,000, 000 and Porto Rico with 49,500,000. It must be remembered also that while Porto Rico and the Philippines are old settled lands whose resources, especial ly in the case of the former, are well known and fairly developed. Alaska is a new country, whose principal de velopment has ibeen a matter of little more than a decade. "Taking the list of shipments in de tail, the principal items of Alaska's business embrace copper ore;nsh,eured j and canned; fish guano, fish oil, furs, gypsum, tin ore and concentrates, whale bone, gold, and miscellaneous merchan dise to the amount of $730,856. Ol these principal products canned sal mon was shipped to the value of $7, 721,749, and copper ore and matte to the value of $1,539, 120,5 while the larg est item in the list, gold, amounted to $11,911,882, a deereasegof about $2,000, .000, as compared with the outputot the preceding year. This decrease, how ever, was due te strikes and labor diffi culties, and the figures given also do not include the gold shipped out by mail. "In the last ten years in round num bers Alaska has produced $265,000,000 in gold, and good judges say that in : the next tenyears at least three times that amount will be taken out by means of dredges, each of which represents a labor force equivalent to the work ol 1,000 men. Naturally miners and prospectors are optimistic, and it must be admitted that in the case of Alaska they have good reasons tor their optimism. Alaskans confidently look forward to the time when their coun try will lead South Africa in its yield ofgold." In view of past happenings, the sus picion may easily lie ithat the concern ot the Sun for the welfare of the trade of New York has been :aroused by the building of railways between Pacific ports and Atlantic ports south of New York, and the perception that trade is likely soon to follow new channels, and the South Atlantic ports, such as Nor folk and Savannah, are to become pow erful rivals for the trade heretofore en Joyed by New York inspired this sud . den warming toward the West. Especially noteworthy is the sly sug gestion that the Pacific coast is entitled to a larger share ol appropriations for harbor improvement and the partiou larly kind mention of the Seattle Ex position. lietnottheWestener be elated over either. The improvement of the Pacific coast willj be the result of con certed action between the South and West, the North kand East no longer - ruling. Seattle also may take note of the fact that the Northern newspapers at first kind to the Jamestown Expos! tion "knifed" it in its time of need.. Presldnt Finiey, of the Southern Railway, Writes Governor Glenn a Letter, Explaining Why ths Beaks Are to Be Exchanged for Regular Jickets. Special to the Argtjs. THE PARDON MILL. And Raleigh, April 1. President W. W. Finiey, of the Southern railway, has written a letter to Governor Glenn, ex plaining why railway mileage books must be exchanged at ticket offices forj tickets. Mr. Finiey says that the settlement of the controversy dealt with rates and not rules for regulation of any com pany's business. The rule, he says, is being adopted in no arbitrary spirit, but simply to keep the record oi sales straight by other railways honoring tickets. Roads would be liable to suffer loss of revenue in case coapon was mis placed. In reply, Governor Glenn, this after noon, says the letter was a great disap pointment to him; that he was impor tuned to do so by members of the Trav elers' Protective Association. He feels that the advantages men tioned in the- letter cannot begin to compensate for the ill-will that will be oreated by the railways if the order is not rescinded. The Governor asks Mr. Finiey "to carry out not only the letter, but the spirit, of our contract. I hope you will at once rescind the order and allow the public to use your books in the old way." It Turned Out Only Two Today Turned Down Seven. (Special to the Argus.) Raleigh, April 3. Governor Glenn today granted two pardons and refused seven applications. FTe orders, moreover, the sheriff of Buncombe county to place Adolphus Boon on the roads to serve out an un expired sentence for larceny. Boon was given a conditional par don, on good behavior, but got drunk and is now in Asheville jail. The pardons granted are: Robert Wall, Union county, larceny, sentenced last July to twelve months J. M. Arnold, convicted in Craven county last September of assault with intent to commit rape and given five years. The judge informed Arnold that the verdict would be set aside if he would nlead guilty to assault with deadly weapon. 'I would not have convicted him if I had been on the jury," says the Gov ernor nimseir, ana tne jury recom mends the pardon. The pardons refused are John God- den, Forsyth county, murder in the second degree, four years;. Solomon Thompson, Scotland county, retailing, six months; William McLean, Cum berland county, manslaughter, five years; Charles .raui.uraven county.re- oeiviug stolen goods, four years; Mary Lipps, Ashe couhty.keeping disorderly house, pardon previously refused; G L. Norment, Columbus county, obtain ing money under false pretenses, twelve months; Frank. McKeithan, Robeson county, retailing, six months MANY P1LGRAMS NOW IN ROME. EDWARD EVERETT HALE. Chaplain of foe United States Sen ate, was Eighty-six Years old Today. By Special Wire to the Argus.) Washington, D. C, April 3 Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, ot Boston chaplain of the United States Senate, was eighty-six years old today. He celebrated the day quietly, though he was kept pretty busy receiving the congratulations of countless friends and admirers. Dr. Hale continues in good health, and physically and men tally he appears to be as vigorous as he was a decade ago. Dr. Hale long ago established his reputation as one of America's bright est literary lights. He can look back with pleasure to warm personal friend ships that he enjoyed with Longfellow Emerson, Lowell and other New Eng land literary celebrities ot a genera tion ago. He also knew most of the public men of a half century ago, In cluding Webster, Lincoln and others. Dr. Hale's most famous book is "The Man Wihout a Country." He has been a minister of the South Congregational (Unitarian) Church in Boston for more than fifty years. He learned to write shorthand when a boy, and still writes it. He believes he could still do a fair day's work as a journeyman printer in an office that is not too up-to-date. He has two children who have made marks for themselves Edward Eve rett Hale, Jr., a college professor, and Ellen Day Hale, a successful artist. Approach ot Holy Week Finds Eternal City Rapidly Filling up. (Special to The Argus.) Rome, April 3 The approach" of Holy Week finds Rome rapidly filling with pilgrims representing the Roman Catholic church throughout the world. Owing to the celebration of the papal sacerdotal jubilee this year the num ber of Dilarrims is expected to be the largest in many years. A big pilgrimage is organizing to come from France, and to its members the Pope will deliver an address con cerning the conditions of the Church in France. Another pilgrimage, large in size, is now on its way irom tne Uuited States, and to it the Vatican authorities will pay special attention Still other pilgrims are expected from Germany, England, Austria, Hungary and other countries of Europe. On account of the pilgrimages Holy Week will assume unusual splendor in the Eternal City, because the Pope will himself omciato in the Sistine Chapel, and Cardinal Rampolla in the Vatican Basilica, of which he is the archpriest. It is expected that both shrines will be crowded with foreign visitors. In fact, there is already an unprecedented demand for tickets ol admission. NEWS FORECAST OF THE COMING WEEK. POPULISTSj MAY BOLT. THE STRONG ARM. Tney Want toe lonvention Adjourned Until After Democrats Meet. (Special to the Argus.) Washington, D. C, April 4 A num ber of important cases will be taken up by the United States supreme court when that body reassembles Monday. Foremost on the list is the case of Bradley W. Palmer versus the State of Texas, involving the right of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company to do bus iness in Texas. During the week the American bat tleship fleet will conclude its target practice at at Magdalena Bay and pre pare for the final lap of the long trip to San Francisco. According to an nouncement of the Navy Department stops will be made at San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz. The political activity ot the week will be oonfined principally to the Re publicans. State conventions of that party for the selection ot delegates to the national convention are to be held in New York, Massachusetts, South Dakota and Virginia. The "insurgents," led by Governor Crawford, will control the convention in South Dakota, and it is expected the eight delegates chosen will be for Taft Virginia also is looked upon as favor able to the Taft movement. Mr. Bryan is scheduled to spend four days of the week touring New York State. This will keep him there until the eve ot the Democratic State convention and is intended to give en couragement to his followers who will take part in that gathering. It is hard ly expected, however, that it will re suit in any very strong indorsement oi the Nebraskan from the State conven tion. Uncle Sam Is at Last Taking Proper! Action. (Special to the Argus.) New York, April 3 The Govern ment is making wholesale arrests of anarchists in New York and Patter son today. All who cannot prove their right to reuiain in this country will be deport ed. All public speakers of the anarchists hereafter will be arrested on the spot. HEARINGS-ON ALDRICH BILL. House Committee onBacking and Currency Will Commence April 8. Washington, April 2. By a majority vote, the house committee on banking and currency has agreed to give hear ings on the Aldrich currency bill, be ginning April 8, and continuing daily for one week. The sentiment of the oommittee, as developed in a brief discussion in ex ecutive session, practically was unani mous against a favorable report of the bill in the form in which it was passed by the senate. There was no appreci able opposition to the proposition to give hearings on the measure, but not all of the members were willing to give a whole week to such hearings. E. W. HILL J. LEON WILLIAMS.

Wilson, N. C, April 1. For several days past Superintendent Egerton has been experimenting at the pumping station with the expensive electrical appliances and electric pumps install ed at the pumping station for Wilson's water supply. Seeing that everything was in proper shape and working order, yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock the fires in the boilers were extinguished and the elec tric turned on. Without doubt Wilson has one of the most up-to-date water and filterinjir plants in North Carolina. It is true, some of our citizens claim there is too much alum used in purifying the water and that it is detrimental to the health of the community. But we have to ac cept the statement of someone, and will say that the State chemist says there s no trace ot alum in the analysis last made and that the water is pure. St. Louis, April 1. It admirers of William J. Bryan anions: the delegates of the national populist party which meets tomorrow to nominate candi dates are no more successful tomorrow than they have been today in efforts to procure a postponement or t&e conven tion until after the Democratic National Convention the State delegations of Nebraska, Minnesota and Michigan will bolt the convention according to an announcement made fconight by the secretary of the Nebraska delegation Mrs. Needham Sniitb Dead. From Wednesday's Daily. At her home on North William street in this city, today, shortly after noon Mrs. Needham Smith, mother of Mr, Will M.

She was a most estimable Christian woman, a devoted mother and an exemplary neighbor, and in her death her son, who was ever most dutiful and devoted to her, has the sincere oondolenoe pi his army of friends. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 6 o'clock. MOUNT OUVE TRIBUNE. Our Esteemed County Contemporary Enters Upon Its Fifth Year. The Mount Olive Tribune, one of the best weekly papers in North Carolina, a credit to Wayne county, and an in comparably forceful factor in the mar velous progress achieved by Mount, Olive in recent years, enters this week upon its fifth year, and the Argus ex tends it the cordial hand of sincere congratulation and . abiding good wishes. Though yet a young man, Mr. Fred R. Mentz, the founder and editor of the Tribune, has already fully devel oped all those characteristics that mark the ethical and safe guide for a people. We always think ot him with pleasure and pride, and if Mount Olive ever takes a step backward it will be when it fails to follow his advice and leader ship. . .

Having qualified as executor of Sallie Atkin son, deceased, late of Wayne county, this Is to notify all persons having- claims against the estate of said deceased to exhibit them to the undersigned on or before the 26th day of March. 1909, or this notice will be pleaded in bar of their recovery. All Persons indebted to said estate will please make immediate payment This the 26th day of March 1908. JNO. E, ATKINSON. Administrator of Sallie Atkinson, deceased. Governor Johnson of Minnesota, an other of the candidates for the Presi dential nomination, will take a trip South for the purpose of speaking at the dedication of the Minnesota monu ment on Shiloh battlefield. Before returning home it is expected he will be heard in political addresses at sev eral points. Events of the week that will interest followers ot sports and athletics will be the fight between Jimmy Britt and Packie McFarland in San Francisco, the amateur court tennis champion ships in New York, and the opening of the baseball season of the South At lantic League. A carnival and pageant in celebra tion of the tenth anniversary of the first introduction of automobiles in New York will open in that city on Monday and continue through the week. There will be a heated contest in the Massachusetts Republican conven tion, which will meet in Boston Fri day. The Taft men will fight for in structions, the opposition will oppose them, and there may be a compromise under which Seoretary Taft may b mentioned in a merely complimentary way. Oi it is regarded as possible there may be no mention made at all. In that event it will be regarded as something of a setback for the Taft boom. More than ordinary import ance Is attached to the action of the Massachusetts convention because of its probable influence on the conven tions to be held later in other New England States.

C "Our little girl, one year and a half old, was taken, with eczema or that was what the doctor said it was. We called In the family doctor and he gave soma tablets and said she would be all right in a few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in doctor No. 2. He said she was teething, as soon as the . teeth were through she would be all right. But she still grew worse. Doc tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this time she was nothing but a yellow. greenish sore. Well, he said he could elp her, so we let him try it about a week. One morning we discovered a little yellow pimple on one of her ' eyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor I No. 3. He came over and looked her over and said that he could not do any- thing more for her, that we had better take her to some eye specialist, since it was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said the eye sight was gone, but that he could help it. We thought we would try doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the same, only he charged $10 more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly discouraged. I saw one of the Cuticura advertisements in the paper and thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so I went and purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me $1, and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great improve ment, and in one week all sores had dis appeared. Of course it could not re store the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura in time I am confident that It would have saved the eye. We think there is no remedy so good for any skin trouble or impurity of the blood as Cuticura. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Abbott, R. F. D. No. 9, Fulton, Oswego Co. N. Y., August 17, 1906."
