AMERICAN GOODS ABfiOAD.
Exports ol Blgh , Grade American
Manufactures Reacn Eaormons y
; 1 Proportions ffbere Sent. '
No greater tribute to the faith
fulness and efficiency of the
American workman and Ameri
can manufacturer. could be found
ill a condensed space than the re
cords of the Bureau of Statistics,
Department of Commerce and
Labor, which show the exporta-
tations of what may properly be
termed "high-grade" manufac
tures from the United States.
People in all parts of the world
are purchasing every month and
practically every day of the year
the most complex products of (he
American workshop, such as type
writers, sewing machines, cash
registers, scientific instruments,
telegraph and telephone appara
tus, mu8ica1instruments,automo-
I biles, and other articles requiring
superior skill in their manufac
ture. .Articles of this class are
transported to the most distant
and out-ofrthe- way places of the
world, the islands of the ocean
and the distant interiors of the!
great continents, with the calm
confidence that tbev will not on
ly render the service for which
they were manufactured but con
tinue that service for such length
of time as to justify their trans
fer from the place of manufac
ture to distant communities . not
provided witn experts and facili
ties for repairs. That this conn
dence in the products of the
American workshop is justified
by experience is indicated by the
continued . and, in most cases,
growing export trade in these
articles;
Take sewing machines as an
example. A hundred million dol
lars worth of these machines
have been - exported from the
United States in the last quarter
of a century, going to every part
of the world. In the Bingle year
190?, for example, the countries,
colonies and islands to which sew
ing machines were sent included
Madagascar, Belgian Kongo, the
Canary Islands, French Oceania,
Asiatic , Russia, Persia, Aden,
Hongkong, Dutch East Indies,
Paraguay, Peru, Dutch Guiana,
Haiti, Santo Dimingo, Dutch
West Indies, Egypt, Turkey in
Asia and Europe, Siara, Korea,
and Liberia. ' '
Typewriters are another exam
ple of complicated machines ex
ported to distant parts of the
world with cenfidence that they
can there be successfully opera
ted without return to the manu
facturer for; frequent repair.
The value' of typewriters export
ed from the United States , since
the fiscal year 1897, when they
were first shown in the statement
of exports of the Bureau of Stat
istics of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, is over 90 mil
lion . dollars, and in J909 they
went to no less than 90 different
countries, colonies and islands'
including Greenland at the. far
north, New Zealand at. the far
south, Morocco in North Africa,
Siam in the extreme Orient,
Ecuador and Bolivia in . South
America, the Azores and Madeira
Islands in the Atlantic, - Dutch
East Indies, and French Oceania
in the Pacific; Bulgaria, Servia
and Roumania in Europe; and
Persia,'' the ; Straits Settlements J
and Korea in Asia. - y
" Cash registers are a still more
recently deyeped item in our
list of exporatipns, yet they, were
sent in 1909 to more tjhah 50 dif
ferent countries including near
yl a score in EuDope, practically
all ' parts of ' North 'and South
America, to China. Japan Asia
tic Russia and : Straits Settle
ments fn Asia; to Australia, New
Zealand and Phippine Islands in
the Pacific; and to various sec-
uons 01 Ainca. . .
The Automobile, which seems
to require careful and expert at
tention even in the country in
which - manufactured, goes in
large numbers to all the grand
divisions and many of the princi
pal cjlonies and islands of the
world.- The 1909 figures show
exports of automobiles to 17 dif
ferent countries of Europe, 'to
practically all of the countries
and larger islands of North
America, and every country of
South America; to China, India,
Straits Settlement, Dutch East
Indies, Hongkong, Japan, Asia
tic Russia, and Siam in Asia; and
to Egypt, Portuguese Africa,
Canary Islands, French Africa
and Britiah East and South
America in that grand division;
the valuation 01 this class of ex
ports having rapidly increased
until the figures of the calendar
year 1910 alone show a total of
11 millon dollars.
Musical instruments of Ameri
can manufacture, including or
gans, pianos . and pianolas, are
evidently popular, the countries
to which pianos and' orgains are
sent being approximately 75, and
even 0' pianolas the exports are
numbered by thousands, and the
countries to which they go ap
proximately half a hundred, in'
eluding China, Japan, Siam, New
Zealand, the West Indian Islands,
the countries of Central and
South America, and a dozen or
more of the countries of Europe!
Thus one might go on indefini
tely enumerating the products of
the American workshop of high
quality and complex character,
such as electrical appliances,
phonographs, metal worgingma
chinery. shoe . machimery. wood
working machinery, dental goods,
photographic goods, mowers and
reapers, and many other articles
of this class, forming avery con
siderable percentage of the 800
million dollars worth of manufac
tures exported from the United
States last year.
Uncle Joe's Corn Ccb.
(From the New York Sun.)
Uncle Joe Cannon strolls around
the House with a corncob pipe
tightly held between his teeth
the pipe was presented by Champ
Clark, who comes from down
Joplin way. S As Uncle Joe is in
the habit of smoking cigars, his
appearance with a "corncob" ex
cited more or less comment by
friends.
"Up to the time I was thirty
years old I smoked a pipe," said
TncleJoe. ' :y .
"Then I took to the cigar hab
it" . ; ;-.-y;-;.
( ''This reminds me." added the
speaker, as he puffed a way on
the "Missouri meerchaum," "of
the time when I used to sit with
the boys around the swiming

Mass Meeting Held Last Saturday
- Ask lor Townsblp. Sape'flsors
and 1 Bond Issue.
Pursuant to the call published
last week, a mass meeting of
citizens .was Iheld in the .school
building at Rich Square lastSat-
urday afternoon, and was attend
ed by representative citizens from
every part of the township. Mr.
John B. Griffin of Woodland, a
large property owner, was made
chairman of the meeting, and A.
, Conner, Secretary.
.Dr. Ml Bolton, Ex-Representa
tive in the Legislature, being
called upon stated the object of
the meeting was to discuss the
road question and, if possible,
formulate some plan to improve
them. " He was followed by W.
E. Spivey, John B. Griffin, J. T.
Bolton, Thos, C. Peele.C.T. Out-
land, J. P. Lassiter, R. H. Stan
ford, E. P. Outland, Dr. E. W.
Lassiter, A. J. Conner and oth
ers, iall (agreeing that we must
have better roads and favoring a
bondisBoe. if necessary, which
had beeif suggested early in the
discussion.
After a full and free discussion
of the subject the following res
olutions were offered:
Resolved, First:
That we ask pur Senator and
Representative in the Legislature
to have enacted for Rich Square
Township a law similar to the
Northampton Road Law with a
Townsnip Board of Supervisors
of three members whose duty it
shall be to have the roads of the
township improved; also to au
thorize, empower and direct the
said Townsnip Board to issue fif
teen and twenty year bonds to
the amount of twenty 'thousand
dollars or so much thereof as may
be heeded to supplement the tax
es for road improvement.
Second: That this meeting ap
point a committee of three mem
bers to confer with our Repre
sentative and Senator and assist
them in framing a bill to carry
out the wishes of this meeting.
After some more discussion the
resolutions were unanimously
adopted, and Dr. M. Bolton.John
B. Griffin and A. J. Conner were
appointed a legislative committee
in accordance with the. second
resolution.
Many present brought mes
sages from their neighbors to the
effect that they wanted to attend
this meeting' but on account of
the bad condition of the roads
they could not get here, and re
quested that something be done
that would secure better roads.
The meeting was harmonious
and the best of feeling prevailed
throughout the discussions.

Toe Educational Rally.
The Educational Rally to be
held in Rich Square on Friday,
March 17th, promises to be the
largest meeting of any kind held
here in .many years. Much in
terest is being manifested in it,
not only in the town and vicinity,
but in adjoining counties as well.
Bertie. Hertford and Southamp
ton Countv, Va., will be repre
sented. Mr. E C. Ruffin, principal of
the Rch Square school, spent
Saturday in Jackson in the inter
est of the meeting. He secured
the promise of Rev: Dr. W. B,
North, pastor of the Methodist
church at that ' place, to be pres
ent and conduct the devotional
exercises. County Superintend
ent Long will do all in his power
to make the meeting a great suc
cess. Gov. Kitchin, who is to deliver
the principal address, is one of
the best orators the South hab
produced, and he will bring a
message to our people. At Bos
ton last summer, at the annual
meeting of the National Educa
tional Association, in the pres
ence of twenty thousand teach
ers which included tthe foremost
educators in the United States,
he followed President Taft and
made an address that received
the highest praise from the Bos
ton newspapers and jnade the
large number of North Carolin
ians present prouder of their
State than they had ever been
before.
In addition to Governor Kitchin
other great leaders of the educa
tional forces of the State will be
present and help make the meet
ing a success.
The large auditorium of the
school building has not been pro
vided with enough seats, but a
rush order has been placed for
258 additional opera chairs to be
placed in the building before
March 17th. Nothing will be
left undone to make those who
come comfortable and happy.

AMERICAN MULES IN AFRICA.
Considered Superior, And Demand
for Them on the Increase
Good Prices Paid.
United States Consul E. N. Gun
saulus. Johannesburg, South Af
rica, reports to the Washington
Government that there is an in
creasing demand for mules in
South Africa, and just now a
large number are being imported
from the United States, the
American mule being regarded as
superior to the animals brought
here frum Argentina and other
countries.
Recently a shipment of 100
mules was received from the
United States for the use of the
Johannesburg municipality, and
a contract has just been entered
into with a local agent for 200
more, also for the municipality,
all of which are to come from
the United States. The first lot
was Bbiped by a firm in Jersey
City, the order having been plac
ed with New York exporters.
Shipment was made at Montreal.
Canada.
It is specified that the mules
purchased must be 14 1-2 hands,
deep girth, good bone, and short
legged. The ages range from 4
to 7 years. It is understood
that the contract price paid for
these mules is slightly under
$250 each, delivered at Cape
Town, where they must pass the
inspection of a veterinary. The
municipal authorities consider
ether the Missouri or Kentucky
mule the best suited for this coun
try. Instances are cited when
these mules, after nine or ten
years service tor tne municipa
lity, have been sold locally at $90
to $140.
There is an unusual demand for
mules all over this consular dis
trict by reason of the dicimation
of oxen from east-coast fever and
other diseases, and a good busi
ness could undoubtedly be done
in this line through local agent J
or otherwise.
A Lost Art.
Many a girl passes, bv infinites
imal degrees, from being strictly
truthful to being something else,
because she cannot resist tte
temptation to make a good s'.or
a trifle better by adding little
touches here and there The girl
who wants to be entertaining s
much that she decorates truth,
makes a big mistake. The sense
for accuracy needs to be kept
keen. There are some people
who tell falsehoods without mean
ing it, They have lost the capac
ity to distinguish what is f al se
from what is true, by confusing
the two in their daily conversation.;-.''
Don't study the art of pictures
que exaggeration. Don't add
fancy touches to some true story
you are telling, so that the actors
in it will hardly recognize it For
if you do this, the tame will come
when you will doit unconscious
ly, and truth telling will become
a lost art as far as you are eon
cerned. Sel. y
"If you do not know the good
which vou can do, the time wil
come when you can not do th
gosd which you would. Frederic
