(Continued from last issue) It is not my purpose to follow in detail the remainder of this inter esting journey but will note just some of the more important things of interest. There is probably no city in the State which is better known and better advertised than the city of Greensboro. Our stay over night in this progressive city was very enjoyable and getting an early start we began our longest day's journey during the trip. No wonder the county of Guilford is proud of her roads, for they are un surpassed. After a magnificent drive on the famous, macadam north of the town we came to the famous Battleground of Guilford Court- house. To the student of history prob ably no other spot is so interesting me.piinsr nlace of Cornwallis and the intrepid Green. Many handsome monuments are scattered over the battle field and the whole presents a fine appearance. Among the monuments we noted especially the memorial to the great Nathan iel Macon. Following out his own request nothing but a rough bould er marks his resting place. His greatest monument lies in the achievements which he made for the benefit of his fellow country men. North Carolina is proud of this illustrious-man and his monu merit along with that of Zeb Vance would well grace the Hall of Fame at Washington. He would be fit ting company to the immortal Lee and Washington, Calhoun and Cur ry at the national repository of me morials of the favorite sons of the several states. Too much time could not be spent in noting the places of interest at this historic spot so with the Vir ginia line as our goal we proceeded onward. Our route soon lay alo"ng the celebrated National Highway which connects Atlanta and New York. The New York Herald and Atlanta Journal has the credit for establishing this now famous thor oughfare and their yellow sign greets the traveller from New York to Atlanta. Fortunately few automobiles were passed on the highway by us. The people along the highway were not very eninusiastic in tneir praises for the tourists who pass through the country at great speed in their machines. Tales of runaway horses and broken vehicles were told of as a result of the recklessness of the drivers in their machines A short call on the genial editor of the Madison Herald was enjoyed at the thriving little town of Mad ison. To one who lives in the low coun try the first glimpse of the moun lains was a signi wnicn was en joyed greatly. Before the day had passed we had crossed the Virginia Carolina line and were at last in the Old Dominion. My companion said he could no tice a change just as soon as we crossed the boundary line. It was ' not many hours before we were in the mountains and night was fast approaching. .An attempt to gain shelter for the night at a prosper ous looking home was in vain. The good folks had a good excuse no doubt, but it was a singular thing that our first "turn down" was in Virginia. A second and a third tria was maae dui tne reception was the same as at the first house Things were beginning to look pret ty bad for us. Darkness had come on and the horses were about given out. Too, our journey was through the mountains and over extremely rough roads. An old negro finally directed us to a place where he thought we could stay all night. In the darkness we went astray but managed to arrive at a small house on the top of a moun tain. The good folks had gone to church but we took possession up- on the suggestion of a neighbor, who had been left to take care of the things until the family return ed from church. After the arrival of the man of the house about ten o'clock, he was favorably inclined to keep us and we were not slow to accept his hospitality. (To bo continued; EX-GOV. R. B. GLENN AT CLARK TON. An announcement was read in some paper that our ex-Governor would speak here, but no publicity was given to the notice until Mon day morning. In spite of this fact a splendid audience assembled in the Pythian. Hall at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening and listened with increas-1 ing interest to one of the best poli tical speeches ever delivered here. Our ex-Governor has a national reputation as an orator and lectur er. He sustained his reputation in a two hours', speech in which he discussed the issues of this politi cal campaign. After a happy in-, traduction by Hon. 0. L. Clark, who spoke words of commendation heartily appreciated by the speak er. Mr. Clark always does things well and he pleased his friends who admire and love him. Mr. Glenn entered into the dis cussion of national issues and made the tariff so plain that no man could go away without understand ing it? His illustrations were apt and his anecdotes sparkled with the best wit and humor. His recent visit to the West enabled him to give the present political conditions in that part of our great country. There is nothing but encourage ment for the Democratic party in every section. He expressed tne opinion tnat the Democrats would carry the House of Representatives in November and in 1912 elect the President. He next discussed State issues. He reasoned with the citi zens and told them that if the Dem ocratic party deserved their sup port it was their duty to vote for the candidates selected by that party. He briefly reviewed the his tory of the Republican party and pointed out the dangers of placing the distinction of our dear old State n its hands again. He showed very conclusively that it is the design of the Republican party led by Marion Butler to secure a majority of the Legislature, and elect the Supreme Court judges. They do not seem so anxious to elect the Congressmen. If they can control the Legislature and have Republican Supreme Court, judges, they can easily settle the bond issue as to their liking. In passing he called attention to Mar- on Butler as the boss of the Re publican party. His final patriotic appeal to the voters, to stand by the party and the State; to the la dies present who seemd to respond to the noble sentiments betutifully expressed, and to the young men was a spienaia enort and was worthy of the illustrious son of North Carolina. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. The death angel came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. W.

For the one we loved so dearly Has forever passed away. A COUSIN. OWNERSHIP OF A LETTER Missive Does Not Belong to Person to Whom It Is Sent Until Delivered. Under the postal regulations and the rulings of the highest courts ol .he United States a letter does not be long to the person to whom it Is sent until it is delivered to him. The writ er has a right to reclaim and regain possession of it, provided he can prove to the satisfaction of the post master at the office from which it was sent that he was the writer of It Even after the letter has arrived at the office which is its destination, and before it has been delivered to the person to whom it is addressed, may be recalled by the writer by tele graph through the mailing office. The regulations of the postoffice do p&rtment of course require that the utmost care shall be taken by th postmaster at the office of mailing te ascertain that the person who desires to withdraw the letter is really the one who is entitled to do so, and the postmaster is responsible for his er ror if he delivers the letter to the im postor or an unauthorized person. The vital principle in our political system lies at the bottom of this mat ter. In this country the state la the servant or agent of the citizen not his master. It remains merely his agent throughout the transmission ol a letter. The state may prescribe reg ulations under which its own ser vants may carry a message for the citizen, but it cannot shirk its respon sibility to him. Light on Ancient Egypt.

Every since he entered the White House President Taft has been im bued with the conviction that the ma chinery of government could be oper ated at much less expense than has been the case for years past. Among practical business men the Federal government's wasteful and costly method of carrying on its business has for years been at once a joke and a reproach and Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island voiced the general opin ion when he recently declared that he could administer the affairs of the biggest business institution on the continent and by the introduction of modern methods and policies save fully $300,000,000 a year over Ihe present cost. The recent legislation by congress was designed merely to enable the president to start the ball rolling for reform in the conduct of the Federal business. With $100,000 set aside to inaugurate the. work, the president is authorized to employ accountants and Probably the most im- I J; .""Iff V - I K 1 ' r ' MM " - yVIZW 'f"''MtilttliniHMIHllH"""""""""""r'"lMtMW Belfast's Great Shipyard N MANY respects Messrs Harland & Wolff's shipyard, Queen's Island, Belfast, is the most remarkable con cern of the kind in the world. For many years past they have taken the lead in the con struction of the largest ships afloat; theyJjai'e cut two of the finest liners on me seas in twain, ana aaaea con siderable to their dimensions; and they have built half a vessel, the stern half, and had it towed safely from Bel fast to Southampton, where It was built into the other half. At present on the stocks of their North yard two mammoth White Star boats of 45, 000 tons each are fast approaching the launching stage. This line's entire fleet has been built by Messrs. Har land & Wolff. From the available record it ap pears that the first Belfast built ship was a wooden schooner of 150 tons, the builder being a local Presbyterian clergyman. This was in 1836, but it was not until 1850 any serious attempt was made in the shipbuilding line so far as Belfast was concerned. In that year Messrs. Thomas Barnes & Co., in addition to starting the Belfast iron works, erected a small slip on the now famous Queen's Island, which has long since lost its insular posi tion though still retaining the name which was given it after the late Queen Victoria's visit in 1849, previous to which it was known as Dargan's island. The ironworks proved a fail ure, owing to the heavy expenses in curred in bringing the coal and iron stone to Belfast, but the small ship yard thrived exceedingly under the supervision of Messrs. Robert Hick son & Co., who acquired it from its founders. Mr. Edward J. Harland, an English man, was manager for Messrs. Hick son, and in 1859 he purchased the con cern from Messrs. iHckson, as well as a small yard adjoining, belonging to the Belfast Shipbuilding company, where wooden vessels only were built. American Nuts in Demand In earlier days wherever nuts were found growing in the United States they were to be had for the gather ing, and were of no commercial im portance. Foreign grown nuts were expensive luxuries. Now our princi pal nuts are staple market commodi ties and bring good prices.- Foreign nuts are being grown in quantities here, reducing the price of imported nuts. There is a constantly increasing "Old Brig" at Marblehead Sold. The historic "Old Brig," the house In Marblehead where Moll Pitcher was born, has been bought as a summer home by a veteran railroad conductor. It is comfortable to learn that the old house will not be modernized to the extent of destroying its picturesque appearance. There are 16 rooms, 8 on each floor, very low-studded, but very large. The house stands on a steep hill and commands a beautiful view of the north shore and Massachu setts bay. experts from official and private life and to Inquire into every phase of the methods of transacting the public business of the government in the sev eral executive departments and other governmental establishments. It is expected that many of the recommen dations for reforms which will be made by these business physicians can be carried out promptly with no other authority than the order of the" president, but where congressional ac tion is necessary there is assurance that It will be forthcoming. The president has placed this entire overhauling of the governmental busi ness systems in the hands of his very capable new secretary, Mr. Charles D. Norton, who had quite an interval of experience as assistant secretary of the treasury before coming to his pres ent post and who -hile in that depart ment inaug!i?fited the "house clean ing" of the treasury's business sys tems which became in effect the fore runner of the broad rejuvenation that is now to sweep the entire Federal es tablishment. Mr. Norton has invited the leading experts in the country, in cluding such authorities on the sub ject as Maj. Charles Hine, the reor ganization experts of the Harriman lines, to submit written programs for governmental business reorganization and from these propositions he will select plans, to be carried out. It is the supposition that Mr. Norton's pri vate business experience as the pro prietor of one of the largest general insurance agencies In the country fc; years before he entered the gove ment service will stand him in W V. stead in selecting improved busin Two years later Mr. Harland was join ed in partnership with Mr. Gustavius Wilhelm Wolff, a wealthy German, and in 1874 Messrs. Walter H. Wilson (de ceased) and William James Pierre (now Lord Pierre), pupils of the firm, were also made partners in the con cern, which was subsequently floated as a limited liability company. The business of the firm from the very outset continued to increase by leaps and bounds. In the year 1884, exactly 15 years after Mr. Harland acquired the controlling interest in the concern, there were launched from the Queen's Island yard 42 ves sels, aggregating 105,625 tons burden. In the three years ending 1890 their total was 31 vessels, of 126,175 tons. - iTOn three ocasions since they have ' achieved the record 12 months world's output, the figures being: In 1907, 82, 240 tons; in 1903, 110,000 tons, and in 1908, 106,528 tons. But perhaps one of the longest of several very tough tasks undertaken by the firm of Harland & Wolff was the lengthening of the Castle line Royal Mall steamer Scot (now the Oceana, of the Dutch Red Star fleet). It was in 1896 that the Scot, a Green-ock-built steamer of some seven or eight thousand tons, was sent to Bel-' fast to have 50 feet added to her length amidship. Messrs. Harland & Wolff undertook the job. The vessel was cut in halves, and with the aid of power ful jacks the two ends were pulled the required distance apart. Each end was several thousand tons dead weight, yet the work was accomplished with out hitch or accident of any kind to the complete satisfaction of the own ers. Towards the end of the same year the Hamburg-American liner Au gusta Victoria was similarly length ened by 60 feet. Still more remarkable, probably, was the building of the bow portion of the rejuvenated White Star liner Suevic, when that vessel was taken piece meal off the rocks at the entrance to the English channel some four or five supply, says the Spokane Spokesman Review. With nuts, as with otlfer, crops, it has been found that by selec tion and breeding, improved varieties are obtainable, of large size, better flavor, thinner shells and other desir able characteristics. The increasing demand for nuts is due in the main to two causes, says Prof. M. E. Jaffa oi the California agricultural experiment station, in a bulletin of the Depart Miracle of a Henry Savage Landor, at one timet a captive of the Lamas In Tibet, tells the following adventure: "The Lamas had got hold of my bath sponge, which was dry and pressed to great thinness by a heavy weight which had rested upon it Throwing It from them, it fell In a litfle pool of water. I addressed the sponge in English and with any words that came into my head, pretending systems for the government While Mr. Norton will have the gen eral direction of the new project he will have the assistance of a board of directors, as it were a commission composed of one executive officer from each department and independent bu reau at Washington and this commis sion will co-operate with the experts in bringing about the big reform. The present movement, It may be added, Is not designed so much to enable the cuttinff off of a clerk here and there although doubtless many clerks will be retired as a result of its economies as to formulate an entirely new struc ture Qf business methods. Several of the government depart ments have started on overhauling of their business systems without wait ing for the general reconstruction and what has been accomplished thus in piece-meal fashion gives a forecast of what may be expected later. In the U. S. land office, r instance, "book keeping methods have been so sim plified that a single volume now holds the records that formerly required twenty-one different books. In ime office 16 standard printed forms now do the work that formerly necessi tated 83 different documents and in the postoffice department $175,000 a year is being saved in twine bills by means of a new tying device. Incl dently it may be noted that some of the most radical economies that are expected as a result of Uncle Sam's latest move are looked for in the mail ing rooms of the departments where tons of government documents are wrapped, addressed and mailed each day. years ago. The stern portion only was saved and brought round to South ampton, where it remained until Messrs. Harland & Wolff built the bow end, 260 feet long, in the south yard, subsequently, with the aid of three Liverpool tugs, bringing the weird looking half ship right down the Irish channel, round the Land's end, and up to Southampton. The repairs to the China, of the P. and O. line, and the Paris, of the Am erican line, were also remarkable un dertakings, as was also that of the St Louis for the latter company. The China. It was in 1870 the first Oceanic was built on the Queen's island for the White Star company. It was a vessel considerably under 1,000 tons. The second Oceanic, launched in 1892, has 18 times the tonnage almost, while even up till the present day no one outside the management of the firm, with the exception of the heads of the White Star company, knows the exact dimensions of the two giant boats now being built for this great ocean carrying firm, so well has the secret been guarded. That they will be between 820 and 840 feet in length, and of about 45,000 registered ton nage, is the' extent of knowledge of the outside public regarding these monsters. The firm can in no sense be regard ed as builders for speed, elegance and comfort for ocean voyagers being their especial motto. None of the boats built by them is intended to ex ced 21 knots or 21 knots, which. It Is understood, will be the rate of trav eling of the coming White Star levia thans- the motive power of which will be on the combination principle of reciprocating turbine engines. At the present moment between 11,000 and 12,000 employees are in constant em ployment, worKlng at high pressure night and day shift, and receiving wages to the tune of over 20,000 per week, while the area of th concern is about 120 acres. s ment of Agriculture. One is the bet ter appreciation of the food value of nuts for the average family, and see ondly their use by the vegetarians as a substitute for meat and other fatty foods. Nuts, as a rule, contain little water, much fat, are rich in protein and have been regarded as more oi less indigestible. The indigestibilit: in nuts is said to be largely due to in sufficient mastication, and to the fad that they are often eaten when not needed, as after a hearty meal or lat at night. Bath Sponge to utter Incantations. "The attention of the Lamas a&A soldiers was quickly drawn to this un usual behavior on my part. They could not conceal their terror whea. as I spoke louder and louder to tb sponge, it gradually swelled to Its nor mal size. The Tibetans, who at firl could hardly believe their' eyes, b came panic-stricken. There was general stampede." YOUNG MEN'S DAY, OCT. 29th. State Democratic Chairman Eller has appointed October 29th as Young Men's Day. On that day all of the Democratic speakers over the State will give special atten tion to young men. In response to ex-Gov. Jarvis' recent letter asking that the young men of the State take their proper place in public service, many young men through out tne State have written letters of appreciation. These expressions have been so full of zeal and pa triotism that Chairman Eller has decided to make "Young Men's Day" a State-wide event. In every county in the State some young man of high character and useful purpose is being appointed to lead the young voters in their work for the State and for the Democratic party, whose mission it is to serve the State. Hundreds of young men will cast their 'first vote this year. The object of the movement is to so fix the minds of these upon the duties of citizenship that they will become citizens always ready to study public questions and to vote intelligently for their coun try's welfare. Young men have been standard bearers in the Democratic party from the day of Jefferson down to Bryan. The natural place for young men is in the Democratic party, whose purpose is to keep the road to op portunity open. The Republican party, standing for trusts, monopo lies and narrowing opportunities, is not the natural home of the vigor ous, manly young men who ask only a free hand and a fair chance. Turn the country over to the un checked wishes of the Republican party, and the average young man can only hope to be a clerk in the ranks of the monopolies, and if he be an exceptionally able man, he may hope to rise to be head clerk. But that is all. Corporate organi zations and w-ealth are clutching into their deadly grip the oppor tunities of a once free land. If the men of to-day would bequeath i heritage of freedom and of oppor turn ty to their sons, they must floht now. The Democratic party stands for the open road. It believes that the people can and should govern themselves. It believes that Amer ica needs only a fair field and an even chance, and for that it will die n the last ditch, ft is the standard for the young men to enlist under, and it depends upon them to take their places and do their duty.
