Pacific World’s Fair Will Soon Have Twelve Buildings Completed. No Other Exposition Ever Pro „ grossed as Rapidly. Seattle, Sept. 5.—Six buildings fin ished, six more nearing completion, landscaping and work on the finish ing of the roadways well advanced, is the record made by the management of the Alaska-Yukon-Paeific Exposi tion nine months before opening day, June 1, 1909. That the Pacific World’s fain will open on time complete in ev ery detail is the opinion of experien ced exposition men, who state that no other exposition ever made such ! rapid progress toward completion. The United States government has nearly finisshed the plans for its five buildings—main government, Hawaii, Alaska, Philippiaes and fisheries— and will start to work sometime next month. These structures -will be rushed toward completion, in or: der to injure that they will be fin ished long before opening day, a heavy penalty will be imposed on the contractor for every day, he ex ceeds the time limit put on the per iod of construction. I lie six completed buildings are: Manufactures, Agriculture, Machinery Administration, Fire Station and Emergency Hospital. Those under con struction and their percentage of pro gress are as follows: Oregon, 95 per cent; Auditorium, 80 per cent; Mines, SO per cent; Fisheries, 35 per cent; California, 25 per cent; Fine Arts, 20 per cent. Other buildings that will be start ed at once are: Washington, New York, Missouri, Forestry, Transpor tation and Machinery Annex. The Power Of Love. Tourgenieff, the Russian writer, says: “I returned home from the chase and wandered through am alley in my garden. My dog bounded be fore me. Suddenly he checked him self and moved forward cautious I ly as if he scented game. I glanced down the alley and perceived a young sparrow w’ith a yellow beak and down upon its head. It had fallen out of the nest (the wind was shaking the beeches in the alley violently,) and lay motionless and helpless on the ground, with its little unfledged wings .outstretched. The dog approached it softly, when suddenly an old spar row with a black breast quitted a neighboring tree, droped like a stone right before the dog's nose, and with ruffled plumage and chirping des perately and pitifully, sprang at the opening mouth. “She had come to protect her lit tle one at the cost of her own life. Her little body trembled all over, her voice was hqgrse, she was in agony—she offered herself. The dog must have seemed a gigantic monster to her. But in spite ‘of that, she had not remained safe in her lofty bough. The dog stood still, and turned a way. It geeihed as though he also felt this power. I hastened to call him back, and went away -with a feeling of respect. Yes, smile not! I felt a respect for this heroic little bird and for the depth of her mater nal love. Love, I 'reflected, Is strong er than death and the fe^r of death; it is love that supports and animates all.” A Paying Investment. Mr. John White, of 38 Highland Ave., Houlton, Maine, says: “Have been troubled with a cough every winter spring. Last winter I tried many advertised remedies, but the cough continued until I bought a 50c. bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery; before that was half gone, the cough was all gone. This winter the same happy result has followed; a few doses once more banished the annual cough. I am now convinced that Dr. King’s New Discovery is the best of all cougji and lung remedies.” Sold under guarantee by all druggists. 50c, and $1,00, Trial bottle free. Luncheon at Country Club.

Character and Life. Life would be easier if we would grasp the gi>at truth that it ig a long education, ° and that character, victory organized into twOJ'al purpose grid habit, is its end. Happiness com^ by the way to those whose hearts ar% set to do right; pleasure lies often in th% oath, but the busi ness of life is getting strong. They only who are strong are fit for hap nintss as a permanent and continu ing condition, and life i-5 a prepara tion for happing^ rather than a time and place for happiness. Pleasure without moral vigor and gfcpjty be comes corruption; and life is a trajn. ing which will make pleasure a beau tiful companion and not a temptress. Leisure is a golden opportunity for those who work and grow by virtue of inward strength and self-direction; and life is a training for the blessed ness of infinite leisure. Completion an$ J>eaut.y of companionship come to those ^‘O?? hearts are at one in the pursuit of the nohle^t things; j and life is an education for ety*na) friendship. The bliss of love is for those only who can lose themselves in one another; and life is an educa tion In that unselfishness which, like the wh»te rose of the Paradise, blooms beypn# of frost or age. t A Serious Wreck Narrowly Averted A serious wreck was narrowly ever ed Wednesday evening of the 9th at the junction of the Atlantic Coast Line and Nrofolk & Southern railroad at Plymouth, when a passenger train on the latter road plowed into the Plymouth shoofly due here at 6 p. m. The colored coach of the shoofly was badly wrecked, but only one per son injured, a colored woman, and she was able to walk to her home. The engineers on each engine saw the trains would colide and the en gineers on the N. & S. jammed on the a^r brakes, attempting to stop, while the A. C. L. train tried -to pass the danger point. There were several Tarborians on the shoofly, among whom were Mrs. T. B. Jacocks and C. W. Klingman. Nearly all tjie passengers made an ef fort to leave the coaches. Capt. Woot en was in charge ofthe wrecked train. lae wrecking crew from Rocky Mt. hurried to the scene and the shoofly arrived in Tarboro three hours late. It was a narrow escape for the pas sengers on this train, many of whom were badly scared. • The Deposit Guaranty. The deposit guaranty seems to be making its way in the face of the frowns of the financers of New York and the abjurgations of the elect who do. not want it because they do not— and if you want it you ilo not know anything! it never has been and it shall not be. But are Hot we going a little fast? Never has been? When the National Government deposit mon ey in banks any and everywhere, does it not insist on having its deposit guaranteed? Yea, verily, it does. When public fends of any kind are deposited in banks do the custodians thereof have a guaranty? They do. What was the last law that was passed in Indiana concerning the cus tody of public funds but , that they should be deposited according to bids received, guaranteed and interest ac counted for. Indemnity bonds are an accompaniment of all such deposits. It* is only the private depositor who is told that hfs deposit shall have no guaranty and who is told that the ideao is simply a crazy populistic doc trine.—Indianapolis News. Hook Without Bait. The anti-prohibitionists are very much disgusted with the Republicans. It was an open secret thet they want ed to vote theRepublican ticket if the plank on local option elections for liquor rang clear. But when the platform made such a cunning dodge the Mbrally Stunted took a fall and it was a hard one. One good Charlott citizen, who is a greaj- believer in local self-government spoke slight ingly of the “patriots,” as Mr. Lin ney called Ahem. He said. “The Re publicans have handed us a hook without a bait.” That is the way the disgruntled fellows feel. “What is the difference between the two parties?’’ is asked.—Charlotte Observer. Does There Ever Come A Day? Does there ever come a day when your spirits flag—when the lodestar of daily' effort seems to have set in gloom? Then hie away to some beau tiful birdy spot—(perhaps the spot may be found in your own garden), and, seating yourself in some unobtru sive place, await developments. A song Is heard. Listen to it; analyze it; and put it into words if you can. Keep quiet and the singer may percb in full sight of you.But if he keeps at a distance, follow him. Do not give up until a fair view is had of the song ster. Be quiet in your movements and make as few as possible. Note the color, form size and song of your bird; and, if you do not know him look up in some good bird book af ter you go home. Depend upon eye and ear; do not make a movement except to bring your opera glass to your eyes, and this as quietly and with as little motion as possible. The squirrels will appear and chatter to you, es pecially if you can answer them in their own language. The woodpeck er will tap the tree above your head to see if he can startle you and then chuckle hoarsely, #o exactly like the squirrel’s bark that even old hunt ers have been deceived by it. 4nd per chance your silent vigil will be re warded by the song of the hermit thrush, and that solitary beauty may reveal himself to your longing eyes. The chewink may flute you a tune and then flit away" out of the leafy silence into the more ojien place# where he makes his nest.

Miller, proprietor of the Cy clone department store is back from the North and of couise is enthusi astic about the line of goods that he selected and will offer to his cus tomers. When asked what women would wear this Fall as he gather ed from his observations and ex perience while on his purchasing trip, “Cotton Fabrics are about twenty percent cheaper than they were last Fall, in woolen goods the prices have not changed. The stripe is all the go;from the cheapest cotton fa brics to the best silks. This pattern is the most popular one of the sea son. Plain broadcloths for coat suits trimmed with messaline satin are very ‘stunning. “The colors that are the rage are Taupe gray, Morrocco brown, Myrt le green, Raisin, Mulberry, Sapphire Dlue ana ins, of course, navy and black are always good. “There are two features of the early Fall hat that distinguishes it from the Summer hat. The trimming has been carried back to the left side and the crown is enlarged, al most covering the top of the head. Otherwise it is not so radically dif ferent as to the unbecomingness and lack of beauty. I '“Charlotte Corday’s; and Gainsbor oughs modified to suit; the new lines in Millinery, hre amdng the most | exclusive Fall styles. “A window display on 5th Ave nue shows the new French ideas; they are more on the order of in verted jardenieres than inverted flow er pots, with the exception of those that have a sharp high turnup at tbe left side. "The new trimming is the feath er collar, a tight band of feathers edged with spiky quills in a close straight line. "There is something quaint, mod est and picturesque about the in verted bowl model of a hat, if it be not built uptoohigh with plumes or aigrettes, or roses, in which case it is truly sporty—the very antithesis of demure. “The steady growth of the hat crown has been upward, and without coming down from its high estate, it is now growing outward; there is not the merest excuse of a bandeau and they are set flatly on the head. "This of course necessitates an ar rangement of the hair radically differ ent from the high pompadour. The hair to suit these growing and swel ling hats must be parted in the mid dle or at theside and coiled over the ears and nape of the neck, in order to give the hat undisputed title to the top of the head. “There are no better dressed ladies in the world than in Tarboro and Edgecombe county, and the styles that I have indicated will be seen on our streets as soon as elsewhere. Mark my prediction.” Fiddle Church Vane. One of the most curious vanes to be seen on any church in Great Bri tain is at Great Conerby, a parish ad joining Grantham. It is in the form of a fiddle and a bow, and is unusually large. Its his tory is curious. Many years ago a pea sant resided in Great Conerby who eked out a modest livelihood by per forming on an old violin which was almost a part of Ijislife. At. last he decided to emigrate, and out in the Far West prospered and became a rich man. One day hesent the clergyman at Great Conerby received a sum to build a church, and attached to the gift the curious condition that a metal replica of his old fiddle and bow should be on the summit of the edifice. T}ie gift was accepted, and the vane may still be seen on the church.—London Standard. Wedding of Much Interest. A forthcoming wedding of much in terest owing to the popularity of the contracting parties, will be solemn ized in the Missionary Baptist church; Tuesday November 10th, when Miss Elizabeth Bynum becomes the bride of J. E. Morrisette, cashier of the Citizens National Bank, of Mt. Olive. Both of these young people have a host of frjepds in Tarbqro and the county. Miss Bynum i3 one of the most clever young ladies of town. Mr. Morrisette is a native of Scot land Neck and was formerly located in Tarboro as agent of the Atlantic Coast Line. Last November he resign ed as agent here to accept the posi tion he now holds. A Valuable Book. “Great Issues and National. Lead ers,” is the title at a book that qur friend, John D.

SATURDAY NIGHT TALK. Providence is Never Unprepared, On ly Careless, Thoughtless Man. (I. Sam.2:1-7 5:1-5 ) " To the careless and thoughtless providence seems at times strange ly blind. There are probably few me: who have not felt occasionally, that if they were running things on this planet they would switch the train onto another track than the one se lected. To our vision things appear to be going on in a slipshod, hap hazard manner, headed fop chaos, in stead of cosmos, and hope deferr ed maketh the heart sick. Men make up their minds that a certain course of action is the only salvation of a certain project, and lo, the result is just the other way. The idol of the hour is dethroned and an unknown candidate steps into the place of power. There is much shaking of heads and murmuring at ways past finding out. iNo periect macnine was ever devis ed in an instant, no advanced posi tion of the race was ever leached at a single bound.' Some one congratu lated an eminent occulisi on a bril liant operation. “Yes,” he replied “but I spoiled a hatfull of eyes learning how to do it.” The crude impeftect and unsatisfactory in art, mechanics, government and religion, are evidences of the upward strivings of the race, the quenchless thirst foj perfection in everything. It is because of this ambition that every new move ment upon the stage of human his tory is hailed as a fulfilment of a dream, the accomplishment of a pro phesy. Men think they know what they want and are disappointed when the expected does not happen. They put their combined wisdom to the task of providing for the general good but appear to be thwarted and deceived by conditions over which they have no control. They think it is high noon when it is only 9 o’clock in the morn ing. They mistake the tuning of the orchestra for the symphony. They ap plaud the exordium when they should wait for the peroration. Tney forget that Calvary is as essential as Beth lehem. The scene shifters are not the heroes of the drama, the outrid ers should never be confounded with the kind. The Hebrew nation had a dream of regal splendbr, they wanted a king like other nations who should lift them to a pinnacle of power and observation, and when Saul, the phys ically perfect was selected, they thought their visions were to be realized, but history shows that Saul was only a scene * shifter for the real king who was to. come after. David was the man of the hour; for nearly 50 years he sat upon the throne of Israel, but the way had to be pre pared for him by the brief and storwy reign of Saul. The people thought they cbuld get what they wanted by a single act; in reality a vast amount of preparation was necessary. And when the hour arrived the man was ready for the Tiour. The people were disappointed in Satrt: He did not meat ure up to the level of their expec tations. But it was impossible to do so. The time was not ripe, the peo ple were not ready, the hour of des tiny had not struck. They mistook the footstool for the throne. They confounded matriculation with com mencement. Saul’s reign was but the prologue of the real drama. We know something about that in this country. Washington! Lincoln! These are great names, carved high er than all others on the nation’s pil lars of fame, but they were the ev olution of generations. They did not spring full-armed into the arena, their qualities were foreshadowed by many predescessors. The hour was slow of approach. Daniel Webster, J. C. Calhoun, the Missouri Compro mise, Bleeding Kansas, the Fugitive Slave Law, W’endell Philips, Uncle Tom’s Cabin John Brown, William Lloyd Garrison, were but avaunt cour iers preparing the way. Every news paper utterance, every enactment of law, North and South, for a quarter of a century, was an honest attempt at the settlement of a great diffi culty. Nobody wanted chaos, every body wanted a . peaceful, glorious, prosperous nation. All these men were but scene sheers setting the stage for the wqrld startling drama, and when all was rea(iy ^he curtain lift ed and lo! Abraham Lincoln, the man of the hour. He was the con summate development of half a cen tury of American history. His cajreer would have been impossible in 1830, on 1840, or 1850. No man can move forward the hands of the clock of destiny, neither can he set them back. No great crisis in the world s ljistory ever yet caught providence unprepared. God never attempts to put apprentices into positibns of fin ished jqjjrneym^n. And he does not hurry. Events seem to rush at times but it is only seeming. The actors have been standing in the wings all the time waiting (or thqir qu§s. Pes simism j^rqang because the viilain is net punished in the first aet; optim ism patiently waits for the denoue ment knowing that virtue will triumph in the end. Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His works in vain. God is His own interpreter, And hte will make i^ jflain,' pipe is blue because, coming direct from the red hot tobacco, it is very highly oxidized, but the smoke from one’s lips is gray, because it is highly wiatered and hydro-carbonized. MOVING SOUTHWARD. Cotton Milling Industry Moving In to Cotton Bolt. In his annual report on the cot ton crop of 1907-’08, Secretary Hes ter of the New Orleans Cotton Ex change, quotes some very interest inng figures in connection with the shifting of the seat of the Ameri can Cotton milling industry to the States of the cotton belt. He 'says that these conditions have been more in evidence during the season just closed than ever before, the consump tion of American cotton in the South, even under the most unfavorable con ditions having in round figures 2,193, 000 while the North totaled but r, 973,00 or 220,000 bales less. In the in crease in the consumption of cotton, Virginia comes first, Oklahoma se cond and Georgia third. Mr. Hester puts the spindles in the South at 10,1,30,668 including old and not complete, against 10,598,095 last year and remarks that this is the smallest increase reported in twenty years. Republican State Ticket Personnel. The Madison County Record gives the following resume of the republi can State outfit: “For Governor, J. Elwood Cox, a rich manufacturer of High Point, N C., rides on free pass on the railroads and says that railroads should be al lowed to charge as much for hauling ireignt as tney want to. we was nominated because he had money and the boys expect to pull his leg freely. “For Lieutenant-Governor, Charles French Toms, a young lawyer of Hen dersonville, who turned over three years ago to get office and hasn’t got it yet and not at all likely to. “Secretary of State, Dr. Cyru Thompson, a relict of Russell-Butler Jeterism. “State Auditor, John Quincy Adams Wood, of Pasquotank, where the bull frogs jump from bank to bank. “State Treasurer, W.

Projections from an ant's head are two tiny, hair-like horns that are con tinually being waved, in the air. Thes horns, or antennea, have at the end from four to thirteen joints, and ev ery joint is a nose. Stranger still, the last four joints, on noses have each a separate work to do. The first joint, at the Up of the anten na, detects the odor of the home. Cut it off, and all nests will look alike to the maimed littie wanderer. By the second joint the ant detects its rela tions. Without this, its uncles and aunts and cousins become deadly en emies, who must be attached and torn to pieces.The third joint is the path finder. Without nose number three, an ant cannot follow the trail, it is hopelessly lost, even though it may be only a few inches from home The fourth and fifth joints are used to recognize the eggs and the half grown children of the nest. - How To Get Strong.

The Things That Count Not what we have, but what we use;' Not what we see, but what we choose— These are the things that mar or bless The sum of human happiness. The things near by, not things afar; Not what we seem, but what we are— These are things that make or break. That give the heart its joy or ache. Not what seems fair, but what is true;* Not what we dream, but good we do— These are the things that shine like gems, Like stars, in Fortune’s diadems. Not as we take, but as we give; Not as we pray, bu^ as we live— These are the things that make for peace Both now and after Time shall cease. —Clarence Unmy. FOR 1 till AT.
