EUROPEAN WAR.
It is almost absolutely true that
the entire continent of Europe is
at wltr.
The spark that set off the ter
rible carnage was the assassination
in Bosnia of Archduke Francis Fer
dinand and his wife, the Princess
of Austria, by a Servian.. This
was the pretext thpt will cost hun
dreds of thousands of lives, billions
of money and bitterest of agony
and suffering.
In the daily press It takes col
umns of small type to tell the little
that can be found out about the
war from day to day. If is simply
a recounting thi** stages of the
game—the forward, back and side
moves of the vast bodies of sol
diery.
German soldiers by the hundreds
of thousands are pressing toward
France, overrrunning and destroy
ing Belgium. The Belgian, French
and English forces are disputing
every Inch of ground. Germany Is
being Invaded on the Ea*t by Rus
sia and the West by France.
A line of battle extends all along
the French-German frontier and
through Luxemburg and Belgium]
toward the North Sea, a distance
of more than 250 miles. There is
fighting all the time, but the re
ports say no big battle ha* come
yet but i* daily expected.
Germans have taken the town of
Liege, but the Belgian* hold the
forts. Brussels, the Belgian capitol.
Is occupied by the German*.
Pighting goes on between Servla
and Austria.
Japan ha* given Oermany till
Sunday to evacuate Kiau-Chan, but
the Emperor ha* not *aid what he
he will do. So it look* like war on
Oermany from that quarter.
No great battle at sea is report
ed, but 200 German merchant ships
are reported taken as prizes of
priies of war.
Latest reports aay a general en
gagement Is on, but the news is
censored so closely that little of
what is doing in battle and the
movement of troops Is known.
The Government at Washington
is for peic and keeping out of any
entanglements with the European
war. President Wilson counsels
temperate speech on the part of
presa and individuals and Congress
with one voice sanctions what the
President says.
President Wilson has instituted a
government Investigation of the
unwarranted advance In the price*
in this country. If an organised
or arbitrary reason is found the
Government will go after the loot
era.
Pope Pius X died in P.ome at 3.41
o'clock yesterday—lt la aald of
grief on account of the terrible war
in Euibpe.
Carranza is now the provisional
Prealdent of Mexico and the war
may be over in that quarter.
Financiers and the Government
st Washington pronounce the finan
ce* of *ia country in good shape,
and Congress and the President are
doing all in their power to save thia
jnfrtkT from any aerione bait on
jifpoant of the European war. Of

'North Carolina Sloppy With Oppor- '
tunities; What Can the Press'Do
in Developing Them ?
Bion H. Butler before N. C. Press
Association.
Recently. I said one day in the '
News ana Observer that North
Carolluna 1* sloppy with oppor
tunity. That expression has been
brought back to to set the
pleasant task of pointing out some
of those opportunities and telling
how the newspaper men may help
in the ..development of them. |
Thirty-two years- ago this sum
mer I caught my first glimpse of
North Carolina. At that time I
had seenAenough of the industrial
development and progress of the
United States from Texas, Kansas
and Minnesota, east to New Eng
land, to appreciate what develop
ment means and to recognize the
opportunity for-development where
it appeared. Fifteen yeaip. of my,
newspaper work was passed as a I
writer of the progress of the big in
dustrial expension in the Pittsjurg
territory where big things are
done. That gave me a further
insight into what opportunity i*
and what it is worth. It is more
than JiO yeasr ago since I com-1
meneed to write in the Pittsburg i
Time* stories of opportunities In >
North Carolina. In that 20 years 1
I have been showing people what
1 see here, and In going out to
show them I continually fall over I
more things to show. I did notp
discover North Carolina all of a i
sudden. It has been a gradual I
finding of new possioilities until lt|'
is easy to see that no State in the |
Union to-day can present so much .
of opportunity as North Carolina. 
This is said in all deliberation, for] I
unsupported claims are of no use|'
to anybody. It is folly to deceive '
ourselves. I make this claim af- 
ter an acquaintance with almost I
eVery community of consequence in 
in the United States.
The chief factors that are putting 1
North Caroljna in the front are
climate rainfall, waterpower, trans- ]
portation, Conxenlence to the Wiar
kets of the United States, and of '
the world, the permanent supply •
of raw material for factory use,
and a population of intelligence
and upright character. I do not
include those temporary resources 1
resources like timber, mineral de
posits, etc., which, valuable in i
themselves, and of great import
ance, 'are still temporary, ana not
in the same class with those per
manent things {hat are of everlast
ing worth.
In hunting a place, for a per
manent home for nfyself and family
I picked North Carolina deliber
ately from all the rest of the coun
try because It offered a bigger
inducement in natural advantages.
It has the best climate and the
best rainfall. Climate makes a
State fit to live in. Rainfall and
a mild climate makes it an agricul
tural possibility. Soil is a factor
but fertility can be made. Kansas
and California and other States of
the West are not so fertile now as
when I first knew them. North
Carolina is more fertile. Fertility
> i* under the control of man, cli
mate and rainfall are not.
Therefore we must regard North
1 Carolina as one of the foremost ag
ricultural possibilities on • eartn.
The story of the last fifteen years
. bears this out. In th> last census
period the Btate has more than
doubled its farm products. In the
1 last five years It has almost
' doubled again. This surprising rec
. ord if kept up another ten years
will put North Carolina among the
first three or four States of the
- Union.
MM—.development is fully as
i rapid. Fourteen years ago the
I State factories produced) 186,000,-
000 worth of goods. Now they
' make three times that'value. Fac
> toriea are springing up to build the
• widest variety of product*. The
. factorie* are diveralfied to (cores
of different linns. They will di
versify more because they have the
power. In a dozen years the de
velopment of waterpower in North
Carolina has been one of the mar
vel* of the Induatrial world. What
i* ahead nobody can guess, but al
most any guess seems safe enough.
The State Is gridlroned with pow
er wires now and in that respect
has no peer on the globe.
Ours is one State that is self
contained and sell-providing. It
has the farma on which to feed the
people, the factories in which to
employ them, the power to run the
mills, the yearly crop of raw ma
terial for the factory, the river and
sea to carry the freight to market,
the railroads in all directions, be
sides the surplus of product eager
ly songht by the idher States.
Rising in the highest mountains
east of the Rockies, North Carolina
rivers have more fall to the sea,
a greater distance to the sea, a
Sreater annual rainfall to carry
own, and a greater area to drain
water from than any other State
of the Kasf. How much power that
meana la pure guess. It is a limit
we cannot overtake for years. We
have no idea of the limit of our
ability to produce cotton for the
ever growing North, or of any
thing. We have no idee where we
are going, but we are headed some
where, and are running away on
half a doren roads at one time.
It ia no use for me to point out
to you the opportunities of North
Carolina. Five thousand people
could find opportunity In Jones
county to go to raialng cotton. Aa
many more could go to the moun
tains to raise cattle. As many more 1
could go to Guilford to raise corn,
to Moore to raise acuppernongs for
the grape lulce plant starting
there, to Henderson to raise apples,
to Robeson to raise cantaloupea, to
Cumberland to raiae tobacco, pea
nuts tor oil, sweet potatoes for 1
starch for the cotton miUs and al
cohol for the arts and for automo
biles when gasolene ia scarcer.
Every county in the State could
place ten thouaand people aa faat
aa they could come ana opportu
nity would await them. One of the
greatest advantages la that our re
sources are ao distributed that in
every township in the State It ia
possible to establish a varied in
dustry. Here is one State that haa
raw material in every locality,
transportation In every locality.
We do not have to bunch our In
dustriea in cities where coal and
iron and ahop room can be had, as
Is the caae in other States where
the utllitlee muat be assembled.
We are not compelled to crowd in
to centers of population. Look at
the cotton mills development that
lines the Southern Rsilwsy from
the Virginia boundary to the South
Carolina frontier. It la a contlnu
tion of mill communities with
with their farm settlementa about
them. At the laat cenaua North |
Carolina ranked eighth among the

North Carolina 1* »loppy with op
portunity. I can no more tell you
the limit of that opportunity than
I can tell you the limit of the wa
ter of the ocean out there in front
of u*. Thia one aingle thing of
electrical development that ha*
commenced in the State means a
revolution in induatrial thing*, with
North Carolina a* a cradle of ex
pansion and a training ground.
Ten year* from now the electrical
atmosphere of industrial North
Carolina will be a marvel.
You realize the opportunities.
How can the presa help to devel
op them ? By becoming thorough
ly familiar with what is here. We
know of many opportunities, but
there are many opportunities we
have overlooked. We must become (
familiar with as many as ' possible,
and get our people to know and
appreciate them. Many people
laughed at me for an enthusiast
when I told them Norh Carolina
has the beat climate in the United
States. I showed them the wea-,
ther statistics which tell that in
every State along' the Canadian
frontier, except New York and
New England the thermometer,
Soes higher in summer than in
orth Carolina. They are surpris-i
ed when I tell them the Catawba |
has power enough to turn all the
wheela in Connecticut, a prom-.
nent manufacturing State, or that
one big dam building on the.Yad-,
kin would run two-third* of all the
the wheela in Vermont. The papers
put these things before the peo-1
pie vigorously. In the North and i
East North Carolina Is an unknown
region, almost as far out of public
knowledge as Koosevelt's river of
doubt in the Amazon country.
Every North Carolina newspaper
should have several exchanges in
the North and in New England
that what is printed might be pass
along to people elsewhere.
The newspaper must be a clear
ing house of information concern
ing the State, the county and the
town. Every new farm, every new
factory, every new thing that tells
of development and expansion
should get a place on the first
page with a two stack, head. I
figure that in our paper that build
ing a do7.en new tobacco barn* on
Pine Bluff Farm la of more conae
auence than the vote of the candi
ate for Congress or Governor.
An example of this hetoful enthu
siaam la the Southern Pines Tour
iat, one of the moat aggressive
development factors in tne State,
as well aa a model village news
paper.
I don't mind telling you a trade
secret if you 'will go home and
profit by It. Every time wa atari
aomething new over in Hoke coun
ty we try to tell it to the Observer,
the News and Observer, the Star
and all the other papers that we
want to know what is going on in
the State. They can't keep a se
cret, and they tell it to their read
ers, and every few days you no
tice aomething new is breaking
loose in the sandhills. I don't
know whether our section is any
better than youra, but we go on
the theory that our section Is the
best on earth, and our favored bird
is not the American Fagle but the
wise old hen who makes a note
of the occurrence every time ahe
lays an egg, and alludesl to it sev
eral times during the day, before
and after laying it. We believe in
advertising.
It is useless to enumerate the
opportunities In North Carolina.
We could accommodate in this
State many millions of people.
People is what we lack. We lack
people, because the rest of the
country, which is supplying settlers
for all the United States and Cana
da, does not know North Carolina.
Within the next year, and nearly
every year, a million or more
Americana will hunt new homes.
They will not find anything better
than but they will
go tlnewhere for want of knowl
edge of North Carolina. You who
print papers In the tobacco belt
should get some of your papers
into the hands of the people in the
tobacco aectlona of Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Wisconsin, and elaewhere.
You Id the corn counties should be
touch with the people in the corn
country of the Notth and West.
The climate of the North and West
Is fierce and people are running
away from It continually. Our cli
mate is one of our greatest aaaets
and when it is known what a cli
mate we have and what other ad
vsntagea, we will get people.
We should have an aggreaaive
publicity bureau *ln the asaociation
The Western States spend hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to
settle their country which Is not
half ao attractive as ours, but they
settle It, and get their money back
in the increased bualneaa. They
get marvelous and rapid results. If
California, with the huatle, those
folks have, should unite the rain
fall of North Carolina and the cli
mate to their huatle they would
make five million bales of cotton a
yesr and spin It. On the sandy
lands of this State could be made
cotton to clothe the mllUona of Bu
rope If farmers were here to
use the available cheap land. The
United States makea fifteen million
balea of cotton a year. The cotton
States of the South constitute the
only part of the globe that makea
enough cottton to aatlafy Ita newli.
In the United States, we each of
us, use about thirty pounds of cot
ton a year. In most of the world
the ivtr»3 amount for each Indi
vidual la not over three pound*
To provide the world liberally with
cotton would take a crop of a
hundred and fifty million bales a
year. North Carolina la the aafeat
cotton state on earth, and raises
more to the sere than any other
State. Half the yorid has never
yet had half enough clothes to be
comfortable, because there never
was enough. North Carolina la
making more cotton goods every
day, and every day the commerce
of the world la expanding Into the
figures of gigantic Importance. The
work la to m done. We need more
people to do it. As tar aa we can
see we will never reach the limit
fn this State. We have land enough
to stagger our conception. What
we lack Is people. We need to
show the people that anything that
I can be doof in any aectlon of the
I United States can be done to a
little better advantage here, with
I few except lone. We can make as
good cantsloupea aa Colorado, and
la thouaand miles nearer market.
I Yet Rocky Ford melons are known
everywhere and Scotland county
melons sell for Rocky Ford.
I think yon understand as well
aa I can tell you that here la a
land of boundleaa possibilities. If I
were to be asked how many people
North Carolina could sustain in
comfort, I would eay that Belgium
sustains thirteen times aa many
people a* we have now, or aoout
twenty-five millions would be
about the figure I would recom
mend to start with. When we get
that many we could figure on how
many more to think about. Bel-
gium has about a« much territory
aa the coastal plain ot North Caro
lina, and aa many people aa both
the Carolinaa, Virginia and Mary
land, which ia aU that need be
said about the room for people in
thia State.
To promote development we
muat get people. 1 (font count
myself an old man, yet I remem
ber when we (poke of Ohio aa out
Weat. From the day when thia
eo\ e;nmenl waa established it haa
een un average of only a Httl
more than three yeara between
nzw Statea. The people who make
new Statea are Increaaing now fas
ter than ever. The new Statea are
all made The people wttl go on
making farma and factories and
towns and communities, and they
will follow the line of least resis
tance in finding the place if they
know where these lines are. To
show them is our taak. To get
those people -is our need. There
are plenty of them to be had.
The first part of the work is to
become thoroughly familiar with
the work ourselves, then to show
our home people that we have here
something that should be made
known to thos3 of the big world
who are looking for a chance to
do something for themselves. We
must arouse our own State that it
will help attract attention. Then
we must go after settler*. -The pa
pers must furnish information. The
papers must arouse the enthusiasm
of the people. Then the papers
must lead the campaign of public
ity.
You must each one constitute
yourself an aggressive agent of de
velopment of your county and your
community, make your paper its
enthusiastic organ, aod then as one
of my darkies said one day while
wrestling with a piece of obstrep
erous beef, you must chaw for god
sake.
When you get your Job started
stay witn it. Of all the remarks
that have been made about me as
long a* I can remember the one
that pleaaed, me most was that 6f
a man who said of me "That man
never knows when to quit."
Friends, let us go home from
here determined to cut out the
muffler, open the throttle wide, ad
vising the rest of the world to ex
cuse the dust as North Carolina
whips past.
Why Germany Made the Attack
Through Belgium.
A little study of the map of Eu
rope will make the situation clear
er.
The vital importance of Belgium
1n a war between France and Ger
many lies in the fact that unless
Germany may move across Belgium
territory, neutralized by treaty an
Invasion of France would have to
be through the heavily fortified
French frontier proper.
The entire northeaatern frontier
of France, Is roughly 440 miles in
length. For about 260 miles of this
frontier line separates France from
Belgium and Luxemburg. The re
mainder, about 190 miles, separates
France from German territory.
With the neutrality of Belgium ob
served the scene of action would
be reduced to the splendidly forti
fied Franco-German frontier, prop
er.
This line of defense runs, broadly
speaking' from Verden to Nacy, to
Epinal, to Belfort and to Besancon
Each one of these cities is the cen
tre of a group of fortifications ex
tending northwest and southeast
and ail facing the German border
Each has its outposts and its flank
, ing protection, and the line is said
to be virtually continuous for th«
, greater part of the entire distance
, between Luxemburg and the Swisi
, border.
Behind this line of fortificationi
, France has a second line of de
, fense, broadly speaking, running
parallel from Rheims to Chaloni
and to Verdun, and from Chaloni
to Langres, to Dijon and Besancon
This second line of protection ii
1 from 08 to 120 miles from Paris
' and the first line of frontiei
fortifications, is, roughly speaking
from 140 to 220 miles from tht
' French capital. The French fron
tier from the Strait of Dover tc
■ Oerman territory, the line whicli
separates France from Belgium and
Luxemburg, is also well protected
Thus a German advance thru
Belgium is, in effect, "going around
the end."

Two million dollars is the estimated

A million more has been economized
by inducing the railroads to haul the

will be punished if they sell in
toxicating beverages to anyone

CALOMEL MAY
HURT YOUR LIVER
Every time you take this pow
erful drug you are in danger. Take
Dodson's Liver Tone instead. CaP
omel is made from mercury, and
while mercury has many valuable
uses, Jit is a dangerous thing to
swallow. If calomel stays in the
system very long it salivates.. Even
when it yorks naturally Its after
effects are often bad.
Graham Drug Company Will
sell you Dodson's Liver Tone,
which is positively guaranteed to
take the place of cajomel. Liver
Tone stimulates the liver just
enough to start it working, and
does not make you sicker than
ever—as calomel often does. You
feel good after taking Dodson's
and it won't force you To stop eat
ing or working after taking it. It
is as beneficial for children as for
adults.
Try a large bottle for fifty cents
under the guarantee that yonr
m'-nev «•;! be given back ch«*?:-
fully if you are not satisfied.
