Josephus La tham, fell on sleep at the home of her son. Mr. J. B. Latham, corner of Harvey and 8econd streets, laat night at 12 o'clock. The cause of her death was acute Indigestion. Mrs. Latham seemed to he In her accustomed health all day yesterday and the early part of laat night. Be tween 9 and 10 o'clock ahe com plained of colic but aa ahe has been subject to these attacks for yeara ahe retired to her room. In a short while Mrs. J. B. Latham went to her room and noticed that site was Buff ering Intensely. Physicians were immediately summoned and after their arrival ahe was so far gone no medical aid oould benefit her so she passed over the river after hav ing lived a life that waa noted for eircnmspectnees and purity. The deceased waa born in Pitt county. Moat all of her life ahe re aided in Pitt and Beaufort counties Being the wife ot a preacher she <m much for the cause ot her Mas ter and many a heart bteeda today over the news ef her going between that narrow vale that divides two eternities. For over <0 years Mrs. Latham m* been a consistent mettber of the Christian church. She waa fore meet In every food work and now that the angela have kissed her eye lids down those ahe leaves behind to mourn their lots can be < in the thought "she did H. A.

Kixctrr AT EXPOSITION (Special to Dally News) Cincinnati. O.. 8ept. 14.?In the Music Hall. Cincinnati, there is as sembled the greatest exhibit of pro ducts from the South that has ever been put before the American peo ple anywhere. One lnrge room. 160 feet by 300 feet, is entirely Ailed with eUo/lblta of timber, minerals and farm prod ucts, representative of the possibil ities of the great and crowing South ern states. Here at the exposition Is the op portunity where the South has laid her goods at the gateway to the middle western states, and for one to listen to the complimentary re marks that are dally made regard ing these products can but confirm the good Judgment of the railroads of the South In the assembling of these exhibits at the exposition. Many amusing Incidents happen dally, where the farmers from the mTdd'.e Western states are inspect ing the exhibits, to have them raise tlfe doubt as to the truthfulness df the statements made by the various railroad representatives who are In charge of the exhibits from the South. One Instance in particular, where the representatives of the Norfolk Southern had an argument with a farmer from Ohio, the farmer get ting highly Incensed at the state ments made by the railroad repre sentative, claiming that the repre sentative was making fun of him In making certain statements regarding the particular exhibit in ques tion and tne possibilities of the South tn general. Ths eplu>de was caused over the \ display of large corn and black soil froru the Wilkinson farm, near Bel haven, N C. The farmer from Ohio doubted the truthfulness of the statements made by the railroad representative re garding the growing of this particu lar corn, stalks from 16 to 18 feei In length, and when asked If he could produce anything that would equal It, became angry. The Virginia-Carolina Coast Coun. (try Is drawing great attention from the crowds of farmer visitors, the idlsply made by the Norfolk South ern Railroad of these coast country products being one of the finest In the Exposition. The rich black soli, samples of which are shown; the large corn, from the Wilkinson farms near Bel-' haven the splendid exhibit of dell clous wine sap and Ben Davt^ pics from the orchards of O. H. ?Pit* ty. New Berne, N. C.; the samples of flsrge oats, onions and products, furnished by the Chamber of Commerse of Washington. N.C.; the wonderful exhibit of large, amooth sweet potatoes from Cur rituck comunity, together with the show of melons, figs. Irish potatoes, and the many other coast country products, are all classed among the unexcelled farm exhibits at this Cincinnati show. The common remark made here by the visiting farmers at the Expo sition la: ?'I never knew that the 8outh could produce such products." The answer by the railroad repre sentative Is always: "Yes, and If more of the farmers from the West would only come Into the South land and assist In the producing of these wonderful crop possibilities, the farmer, the farm and the coun try at large wotild be prosperous/" Over 30,000 miles of Southern railroads are represented at this e?* position, snd they certainly deserve great credit for their efforts in thus (Continued on Third Pace.)
