The writer is old enough to
know something of the history
of the towns in North Carolina
and to have 'noted the causes
which have led to the decadence
of some and growth and pros
perity of others. There are some
towns which a half century ago
were among the most prominent
and thriftv, as it then went,
which have remained in the same
condition they then were, with
out materially increasing either
in business or population, while
in other instances, where a few
years ago a town site was scarce
ly dreamed of, we now have
prosperous towns and cities.
For this there is a cause and it
will not be difficult to find.

He thinks that it is fortunate
North Carolina did not have a
seperate State building, as the
situation now is much better
than it would had been had
the exhibition been oft to itself.
Mr. Peter Wilson, who has
large experience in such matters,
is of the same opinion. The
arrangement of the exhibit is
said to be excellent and it at
tracts much attention and has
elicited general and favorable
comment.
Mr. Bruner expresses himself
as much gratiSed at the show

gear used in the sounds and
