PRINTS READY IN 60 DAYS Work Will Begin in Early Fall To Stand on South Side of Capitol Square Commission Will Open Headquarters in Raleigh Very Soon. Raleigh. The plans tendered by P. Thornton Marye of Atlanta, with Frank B. Simpson of Raleigh as asso ciate architect, have been selected by the state building commission for the .$250,000 fireproof administration build ing to be erected on the south side of capitol square and extending from Fayetteville to Salisbury slreets. The plans are for a five-story structure, the first story of granite and the up per stories of Bedford limestone with terrocotta trimmings. The style of Architecture is Grecian, to harmonize with the state house. The closest competitor in the con test for the plans was Hook & Rog ers of Charlotte. The commissioners, with six members present, were tied one while, three 1 and three, as between the plans of the two archi tects. Marye & Simpson are to have the plans in detail completed and ready for distribution to contractors for lids within 60 days, and the purpose is to get the building under way by the early fall. The sub-commission is tc neet at the call of Chairman. florae, prob ably within the next two weeks, to consider further with the architects. Later the commission will open a Raleigh office. The commission con sists of Col. Ashley Horne, Clayton, chairman; William E. Springer, Wil mington, secretary; J. A. Long, Rox boro; J. Elwood Cox, High Point; W. L. Parsons, Rockingham; and Gen, J. S. Carr, Durham. Work Outlined for Education. Prominent educators who are to be .assigned during the summer to hold ing teachers' institutes for the public school teachers in various counties scheduled to hold them this season, held a three-days' conference in the senate chamber of the state house. State Superintendent J. Y. Joyner made a brief address in which he out lined his ideas of the scope of the -work that should characterize the in stitutes. There are to be about 30 of them this season. The law requires that every county must hold one at least every two years. Probably two thirds of the counties held institutes last summer, hence the falling off this time. Participants in the program In the work of presenting ideas for conducting the county institutes were A. J. Barwick, of the state depart ment of education; J. A. Bivens, of the state department of education; Miss Emens, Miss Alma Meade Mich aux, Prof. M. C. S. Noble, A. J. JUatheson and Mrs. D. W. Reade. This Company Interested in Books. It is learned that the Thompson Printing company which was chart ered with J. W. Bailey, A. A. Thomp son, Joseph G. Brown and others as incorporators and with $5,000 paid in capital, has for a special purpose the pressing of the adoption of a num ber of text-books for the North Caro lina public schools by the textbook commission which has begun its work of hearing proposals and exami nation of books offered. Legislator Makes Farm Pay. State Senator W. S. Cobb of Hoke county, says farming conditions this season in his section are proving very satisfactory. He is marketing 5,000 barrels of Irish potatoes this season at $5 a barrel. ' The ruling price last season was $2.50 a barrel. Senator Cobb was the only legislator who had an automobile here for use during the 1911 session of the general assembly. Gastonia. A postal savings bank will be opened here on July 1. Lower Taxes for Towns Maybe. The North Carolina Corporation commission, announces its opinion that the cities and incorporated towns in this state have the right to leave the actual fixing of the tax rates for city purposes this year un til after the new tax valuations are made. The matter can. be opened at the June meetings and final action deferred. It is expected that the tax assessments this year will greatly increase the aggregate, so that it will be possible to have lower tax rates in many towns and cities. Weldon Guard Ordered Disbanded. Adjutant General R. L. Leinster made an order for the disbanding of Company K, Third Infantry, Weldon, on account of the company having fail ed to meet the requirements at the time of the last inspection, made last February. There are ten applications on file from as many towns to be al lowed to form a company to take the place of the Weldon company. Two of these are said to be desirably lo cated to succeed Weldon. After the encampments the vacancy will be All ied with one or the applicants. SUB TEXT-BOOK COMMISSION Personnel Kept Secret for Several Days Appointments Made by Supt. Joyner and Gov. Kitchin. Raleigh. The personnel of the subtext-book commission, which has been a profound secret by State Superin tendent of Public Instruction J. Y Joyner and Governor Kitchin, by whom the appointments were made, for the past several days, has been announced by Superintendent Joyner and the appointees reported for the initial joint meeting of the commis sion and sub-commission to receive bids for public school text-book adop tion and the preliminary work that is to keep the sub-commission busy un til August 3, when the adoption is to be completed. The sub-commission consists of N. W. Walker of the de partment of education, University of North Carolina; A. C. Reynolds, coun ty superintendent of public instruc tion of Buncombe county; E. T. At kinson, county superintendent of pub lic instruction of Wayne county; Z.. V. Judd,' county superintendent of public instruction of Wake county; R. J.

Wake Election on $300,000 Road Bonds August 31 there is to be an election In Wake county on the question of an issue of $300,000 in bonds to make good roads, $100,000 a year to be used for the purpose, plus $50,000 from the road fund, no increase in taxes to be made. The election is to be held under a new registration. That was the decision reached by the board of county commissioners after the matter had been placed be fore it by the Wake county road im provement council. It was urged as absolutely necessary that there be a new registration so as to give a fair chance to the proposition. Big Tobacco Case in Federal Court. Good progress is being made in the Federal court before Judge Connor, in the trial of Ware-Kramer Tobacco company vsv American Tobacco com pany. Much time was consumed in going through affidavits and other documentary evidence to settle upon its admissibility preliminary to the jury trial. Judge Connor has intimated his purpose to require both parties to the litigation to produce their books except insofar as the defendant is by statute exempted from so doing In a penalty suit. Representing the Amer ican Tobacco company are Aycock & Winston, Raleigh; Junius Parker, New York; Mr. Perkins, New York; F. L. Fuller, Durham, and for the Ware Kramer company there are Mr. Green, Norfolk; F. A. Woodward, C. C. Dan iels, Wilson; F. S. Spruill, Rocky Mount. Be Sure Your Sins Will Find You Out. Oscar O. Cothrell was carried to Washington, D. C, to answer the charge of desertion from the training ship Franklin in 1909. His record since his deseration is a bad one. He went to Culpepper, Va., and induced a girl to marry him. He took her to Richmond where he undertook to make her support him. He deserted her later, ran on the Seaboard Air Line as some sort of a train man one while, claimed to have sustained an injury to his ankle and took steps for a suit but in the meantime he was convict ed at Raleigh of selling whiskey an given a sentence to the roads. Now before he has finished this sentence there has come the order for his de livery to the government authorieis for the punishment entailed by deser tion. Analyzing Two Stomachs for Poison. Coroner Moose of Iredell brought to Raleigh the stomach of Mrs. Bessie Combs, who was poisoned by her hus band, Reuben Combs, for analysis. The stomach was left with Dr. With ers, who will make the analysis for $200. It will require two or three weeks. The day before Mr. Moose ar rived in Raleigh Dr. Withers closed a contract for a similar analysis of a s'tomach sent from Wilmington. Statesville. A young son of Dr. C. F. Laugenour, in swimming with three companions, goes down suddenly within fifteen feet of the bank and in plain view of his helpless friends. The body was recovered. Wake Officers on Salary Basis. The new salary law for Wake county officials has gone into effeft. Under the new law the sheriff re ceives $2,750; the clerk of court, $2, 750; the register of deeds, $2,500; the treasurer $2,000, and the auditor (a new office) $1,800.

BRIEF NEWS NOTES FOR THE BUSY MAfi MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK TOLDN CONDENSED FORM. WORLD'S NEWS EPITOMIZED Complete Review of Happenings ef Greatest Interest From All Parts of World. Southern. "The bill, the whole bill and noth ing but the bill." Thus President Tafl summed up an earnest plea for the un amended adoption by the senate of the Canadian reciprocity agreement do fore a reciprocity agreement before a representative audience of Southern men in New York City. The occasion was a banquet given by the New York produce exchange to the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers' association The banquet hall sounded to a roaring welcome for the president, as he en tered the room. In his address, Presi dent Taft pointed out to the Southern ers the advantages which their sec tion would derive from the enactment of the agreement with Canada. In honor of the Southern women who were in New York with their husbands, fathers and brothers for the convention of the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers' association, the big hall of the New York Produce ex change was used for a social function for the first time in 27 years. The closing event of the convention was a promenade concert on the floor of the produce exchange. The exchange has not witnessed such an event since Its opening in 1S84. President Taft epoke at the banquet. By a majority of 829 out of a total vote of 3,612 the city of Mobile, Ala., adopted the commission form of gov ernment. The campaign which has been carried on for the past three weeks has been one of the most warm ly contested of any in the history ot the city, and toward the last aroused much bitterness. It was a sharply drawn contest between the political machine which has ruled the city for years, and the businses, professional and working men of the city. This week in the cotton market nearly everything but the weather will be lost sight of. It generally acknowledged that the crop is fast getting into a critical condition as the result of protracted drouth and high temperatures. At the end. of last week there was no relief In sight on the weather map, and if the week opens with a dry and hot map the chances are that a sensational rise in prices will take place, and that new hign levels for the season will be estab lished on the new crop months. General. An indemnity of 12,000,000 pesos, the equivalent of ' $6,000,000 in gold, will be demanded of Mexico by the Chinese government for the slaughter of 303 Chinese subjects in Torreon. The demand will be backed by a crui ser, which is already on the way to the Mexican west coast ports. After seven weeks of slumber, from which physicians have been unable to arouse her, Miss Hazel Schmidt of Vandalia, 111., has just awakened twice each time for about an hour, asked for something to eat and then again dropped off to sleep. Her case has puzzled scientists, asking about her condition. At the beginning of her sleep, Miss Schmidt told her mother she was going into a trance. The greatest sectarian tribute to a churchman ever accorded in America was paid to Cardinal Gibbons, head of the Catholic church on this continent. It was a national tribute, in which joined the nation's head, President Taft, his predecessor, Theodore Roose velt and senators and representatives. The occasion was the dual anniversa ry of his eminence, held in Baltimore the fiftieth anniversary of his ordi nation to the priesthood and the twenty-fifth year of his elevatoin to the high official rank of cardinal. Sixty-three killed; 75 wounded; prop erty loss, $100,000. These are the net results of the earthquake which visit ed and injected a note of tragedy into what was expected to be a day of pure rejoicing. When the work of search ing the ruins is completed; it is pos sible that the list : of dead will be lengthened somewhat, a shiding here and there throughout the city there doubtless are many wounded who, with traditional fear of the authori ties and government hospitals, are anxious to evade discovery. William Bentno Miller of the Amer ican Museum of Natural History left New York on a four months' expedi tion into the Black mountains of North Carolina in search of new bugs for the museum's collection. ' President Taft ' has accepted, through Senator Luke Lea, the invi tation to visit Nashville this fall. With famine and ..pestilence adding grim horrors to the reconstruction pe riod of the Mexican1 freedom anarchy is rife throughout Central Mexico, and even in the capital itself the govern ment is being hard pressed to pre serve order.' Fear of a mob demonstration against the two negroes ' accused of implication, in the murder of O. F. Bowers last week led offificers to re move the prisoners from Wellsville, Ohio, to the county jail at Lisbon, Carrie Nation, the Kansas saloon smasher, died in Leavenworth, Kan. Paresis was the cause of death. For1 several months Mrs. Nation had been in poor health, and on January 22 she entered the sanitarium in which she died, hoping there to recover from a nervous breakdown. Herr Schendel, who established German altitude record of 6,594 feet in an aeroplane, fell with his mechan ic, Voss, at Johannisthal, f Germany, and both were instantly - killed. Schen del was trying to eclipse the world's altitude record with a passenger. The aviator, who was practically a begin ner, arose in a Dorner monoplane and had reached a height of 6,650 feet when the monoplane was seen to as sume a vertical position and it is be lieved that Schendel was trying to glide to earth with his motor cut off. "I shall not be a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 1912. I should regard it as a calamity if I were nominated. I demand it of say friends that they do everything in their power to prevent movements tending toward my nomination." This is the sense of the reply Theodore Roosevelt made, according to Wallace Batcheldor, former member of the Rough Riders, when Batcheldor asked the colonel whether he would be a candidate in 1912. A little harmless flirting with nice people with whom you are acquainted will do much to rest the tired mind after the arduous duties of the school room. This is cne of the suggestions to young women school teachers made by Miss Anne Newell, on relinquish ing 4ier position in the Boston schools after forty-nine years' service. "Be a live wire every minute and don't eat too much,' is another bit of advice. Pascual Oroszo, commander of the insurrecto troops surrounding Chihua hua, declared that he will attack the state capital at once, regardless of peace or peace prospects, because two of his men who were visiting in Chi huahua without arms were thrown into jail. His demand for their release was rejected. Gov. Abram Gonzales, Maderist governor of Chihuahua, left Juarez for Chihuahua, although ad vised that he had better not come un til the Federal troops had left. Col. Theodore Roosevelt said with reference to a published story that he would support Taft in the next presidential campaign: "There is no truth in the report that I have agreed to support any man for 'president in 1912. I have neitner made any such statement n.r even discussed the mat ter. The sory is made out of whole cloth." The Reformed Presbyterian Synod in session in Pittsburg adopted reso lutions protesting against the accept ance of the silver service for the bat tleship Utah, on which is a picture of the Mormon temple and a likeness of Brigham Young. The synod holds that the "service would suggest to rep resentatives of foreign nations that the people of the United States regard Mormonism with respect, instead of abhorrence and Brigham Young as a benefactor of the nation." Washington. Canvas of the senate indicated that President Taft would win the Cana dian reciprocity fight and Ihat the Root amendment tacked on to the proposed pact by the finance commit tee woudl be killed in the senate., a poll of the situation, it was said, now 6hows that a very large mapority of senators are with the president in his stand against an amendment and that the bill will ultimately be agreed to in the form in which it passed the house. The Democrats, with but few exceptions, will support it. Abandoning hope of defeating In committee the Root amendment to the Canadian reciprocity bill, auectingthe print paper and wool pulp clause of the agreement, friends of the measure began on the floor of the senate an active campaign to prevent acceptance of the Root provision. The senate showed anxiety over the situation when, after an executive, session of the senate nance committee, he ap pealed to the 'Democratic senators to stand out against the amendment. A memorandum was filed with the ways and means commitee by mem bers of the tariff committee of the American Cotton Manufacturers' asso ciation, protesting against any change in the cotton schedule of the Payne tariff bill. R. M. Miller, Jr., of Char lotte, N. C, is chairman of the com mittee. Among . the other members are Lewis W. Parker of Greenville, S. C; Stewart W. Cramer and D. Y. Cooper of Henderson, N. C.; C. D. Tuller of Atlanta, Ga., and Thomas L Hickman of Augusta, Ga. Secretary of State Knox, in spite of the administration's . refusal to make public documents, has been serv ed with a subpeona to appear before the house committee on expenditures and to produce all books and papers affecting the $1,600 unaccounted for in connection with purchase of a portrait of former Secretary of State Hay. As the information may again be denied, Committee Chairman Hamlin will in troduce a bill amending the statute governing expenditures. Col. Joseph Garrard,' U. S. A., com manding the cavalry post at Fort My er, Va., was reprimanded by the sec retary of war, under orders from Pres ident Taft, for reporting advesely an application of a soldier for permission to take examinations for promotion to commissioned grade, on the ground of the soldier's Jewish parentage. The president said it was hard to deal witl the matter "with patience, and with out condemnatory words that had bet ter not be written. The soldier involv ed is Frank Bloom, a private in bat tery F, Third Field artillery, no woe duty in Mexico. Children's Hats . FOR a girl somewhere above eight years the firt hat is appropri ate. As hats go, it is quite a simple affair with a broad, round crown and drooping brim which turns up in front. It is of v chip or straw braid In a natural color. A big bow of ribbon spreads over the back with two hanging ends, and there is a full wreath of apple blossoms : (those old-time favorites of childhood) about the crown. One of the most successful of chil dren's hats, which might with equal propriety be classed as a bonnet, is shown in the second picture. It is NEW STYLE FOR FOULARD A good many contrasts of coloring and actual pattern, too, are notable in the new foulards; an absolutely di verse design being often interwoven in the one length of material, while sev eral model gowns combine spotted foulard and plain twill silk or fine face cloth. So one has quite sufficient and Parisian precedent for bringing together the plain and spotted blue foulards, and, for further introducing in the manner suggested by the sketch graduated bands and flatly folded rosettes of black satin, a col lar, of the finest lawn, and a little frilled band to match, . being other accessories of the corsage. Surah Twill Silk. Surah twill silk in solid color is a material which is claiming much fa vorable attention, says a fashion ex change. This is being used by the best model houses in Paris for making tailored suits and three-piece cos tumes. This new surah has a high luster surface and is used in exactly the same manner as satins have been so freely employed recently. Surah is especially well adapted for summer use In America. It Is durable, sufficiently dressy for a handsome suit, light weight, and therefore com fortable for summer use in many parts of the United States. More than this, domestic silk mills are equipped to produce surah silks. made of a thin silk to which lace braid is applied. The crown Is a puff of the silk. The brim Is made of three ruffles of the side-plaited silk over a single box-plaited ruffle edged with lace. Ribbon is laid in small loops about the crown and in a rosette of loops, finished with hanging ends, at the left side. Little clusters of June roses are placed about the brim and in the center of the rosette. This is a soft and charming piece of milli nery art which may be made in any light color, to suit the Individual taste. JULIA BOTTOM LEY. HAIR MUST SUIT TOILETTE Notable Is the Revival of the "Bang," a Fashion Which Is Not Received With Joy. Nowadays it is found convenient to change the style of hair dressing in or der that it may agree with this hat or that dress. There are some toilettes that would be bereft of their effect, and even be made to look absurd, if the hair were not arranged in keep ing. The curled fringe, called the "bang," has been revived. One reason for the Justifiable revival of the light-curled lovelocks that stray about the forehead Is the immense popularity of the short center parting, which Is just a little trying without their softening Influence; and another is the reinstatement of the heavy plait or the twisted drapery of hair which is used to frame the chignon. When the plait weights the hair over the forehead the counteracting effect of a few gossamer-like tendrils of hair be low is requisite for the sake of ele gance. One of the coiffures of the moment illustrates the conical dressing that is becoming to the girl with a small face and mlgnon features. It is built up by means of a twisted drapery of hair which resembles a plait, and be low it is a thick coil held in place by tortoise-shell prongs. The hair is care lessly ondule beneath, so that the ears are hidden, and there are a few stray lovelocks on the forehead. In another the plait is used - as a coronal merely, and all the rest of- the hair is curly except the childish-look ing straight fringe. The Volatile Waist Line. Though the waist line is less ver satile than it used to be, and is more and more inclined to assume the con ventional position, the Empire effect is still to be seen. For reception and dancing gowns it Is very graceful, and the soft outline it gives to the figure is delightfully picturesque. But for the street all this is out of place; It gives the wearer a silhouette that is untidy, and suggests a looseness that Is altogether objectionable. In regard also to evening gowns the same fault may be found. So long as a toilette is to be worn chiefly while walking or standing, the short waist Is permis sible even desirable but for a din ner, concert or theater It Is no longer so. The bust, unconfined, falls out of shape, and it Is the realization of this fact that has led to bo many of the newest evening bodices being' made with swathed draperies and close fit ting lines. The Season's Colors. Navy blues promise to predominate to a very great extent for outdoor wear. In the materials woven of two colors navy is often combined with deep plum, black or a brighter dark blue. Trimmings of red and white are vouchsafed to navy serges. Greens are very far from holding as high a place in the preparations for the open ing season as they have done this win ter, but combinations of blue and green are fancied, while mustard and resedas figure promlnentlly with all shades of deep yellow in the harmon ies carried out in chiffon and satin.

Perhaps the teachings of Hoses, had reached his heart. "About his personal character we know little. We may Infer that It lacked decisive en ergy and lofty patriotism. .. Beginning his reign as a mere puppet la As syria's hands, he shaped his career as an opportunist. He was too astute to offend any national susceptibilities bj abandoning the worship of Jehovah, too cautious and politic to play the role of a purist In religious practice. The impartial blstorias will not judgei this last king of Ep-hriam too severely, but will unhesitatingly admit that he? lived In times of direst difficulty and peril, when nothing but miraculous divinely guided statesmanship. IEfcat that of Isaiah, could have saved that realm from overwhelming Usaster.' The Northern Kingdom had had it chance, and had thrown It away, "There is less hope for as each yeas and day we live in sin. Every honxf we are drifting out to sea the heh less, helmless bark Is leaving the les sening shore farther and farther. bo hind. Our disease becomes Incurable Like those stones which, though soft as clay on being raised from the quar ry, grow hard as flint through, ex posure to the weather, our hearts ant growing harder day by day." Hoshea's Imprisonment Is a fair sample of the result of dependence upon men rather than God. Trust lot Egypt was Israel's snare from tne first. The prophets compared It to trusting in a shadow or making a state out of a bruised reed. "The bankrupt who asks a bankrupt to set him up ha business again is only losing time. Thex prisoner does not beg his fellow pris oner to set him free. The shipwrecked sailor does not call upon his ship wrecked comrade to place him safa ashore." in our troubles we are not to scorn the aid of men, but we are) to know that without God's favor and assistance all human help la Tain. What measures did Shalmaneser take to reduce to submission his re bellious vassal? He sent (or led tat person) an army against him. Profes sor Rogers thinks that Hoahea marched out to meet this army, and was then captured and sent to As syria as a prisoner. At any rataj "Samaria prepared for a siege. There is something heroic In the very thought. It was surrounded and. hemmed In by territory over which It had once ruled In undisputed sway, but which had long been controlled by. Assyrian governors and filled with As syrian colonists. As Shalmaneser ad vanced closer he would, of course. destroy and lay waste everything about! the city which might have furnished any aid or comfort to it. From thei villages and towns thus destroyed tber people would nock into the ' capital , until it . was crowded. . The people of?
