evening and the big open-air concert
place at the north side of the expo
sition building was nearly filled with
people, who showed their enthusiasm
for the musical numbers by hearty
applause. By 9 "o'clock so many
people had arrived that the wide tiers
of benches would not contain them
and they stood around the bandstand
and all along the edgea of the crowd
that was seated on benches. The
musicians warmed to the enthusiasm
of the big audience and seemed to put
all their best efforts in the numbers
they rendered.
NIGHT CONCERT.
The night program opened with the
"Caro'.inas Exposition" march, a com
position which Conductor A. H. Nuss-'
baum of the band composed specially
for the occasion. This was so well
received that an insistent demand
for an encore was made by the audN
ence, to which the conductor and his
band graciously responded.
The second number on the evening
program was a duet by Miss CharloLte
Peege, soprano, and Charles Troxeil,
tenor, of the Metropolitan Quartet.
They selected as their offering "Home
to Our Mountains," from Verdi's '11
Trovatore." It was splendidly sung
, and the audience insisted on a repeti
I tion. The singers came then and re
j pea tod a part of the number. The
i band then played a selected number
and Bert Brown, cornet soloist, ren
dered a number. As an encore he
played Malloy's "Old Sweet Song,"
which the audience vociferously ap
plauded. Frank Cuthbert, basso next
sang Poniatowski's "The Yeoman's
Wedding Song" and followed this with
a pleasing encore. "Old Melodies From
the South" was the next number by
the band and the audience liked it
immensely.
MISS CASLOVA PLAYS.
Miss Caslova, whose violin playing
made a hit the first night of the expo
sition 'and who has already endeared
herself to the public by her person
ality as well as by her playing,
followed with a selected violin num
ber, which was warmly encored.
"Down South" was the next band
number, after which the quartet sang
with fine effect "Carry Me Back to
Ole Virginny." This made such a
hit that the quartet had to come back
for another number. They won the
crowd completely with "When You
And I Were Young, Maggie." After
ward the band played with exceptional
feeling and spirit Gustave Luders'
"The Cavalry Charge," which is well
suited for outdoor concerts because
of its novel effects In imitation of
galloping horses, sounding bugles and
other features.
Many of the big audience, having
enjoyed the musical programs for
several evenings, lingered about the
band stand and expressed their appre
ciation to Mr. Nussbaum and members
of the band, to the members of the
quartet and to Miss Caslova. All
the musicians have made themselves at
home about the exposition and have
made many personal friends. Several
of them have expressed approval of
the exposition idea and commended
the enterprise of Joe Patton and
others in staging it.

the dates so far set is on November 30
when Cauld Morehead of Guilford, con
victed of the murder of his wife, will
be electrocuted.
These dates have been tentatively set :
as the appeals of all defendants have
been turned down by the Supreme
Court, and the Governor fixes the dates
when the failure of the appeal to stand
up is certified by the court. Petitions
for commutation of sentence in some
instances have already been heard. All
papers were forwarded to the Governor
while he was in Ashoviile. and many
or tne cases were heard there.
BOLL, WEEVIL SCARE
The Board of Health has received
a number of letters from Brunswick
county and other counties in the south
eastern section of the State asking if
the boll weevil eating vegetables leaves
any poisonous matter on the food, plant
which makes it dangerous as human
food. These letters state specifically
that the weevil is attacking other
forms of vegetation in addition to cot
ton, and the general impression is that
section is that the bug leaves a poison
on anything it touches which makes
it unfit for human consumption.
The Board of Health, answering thes-s
letters, reported that its investigations
and the investigations of the. leading
scientists show that the boll weevil
does not attack any other plant than
cotton. It has never been fount on rny
other plant, and the bug found on the
other plants in the southeastern part
of North Carolina must be some other
than the boll weevil.
Likewise the Department of Health
is informed that the. weevil dees m t
poison anything it touches or eats,
but the fact that it does not bother
ether than cotton, obviates the neces
sity for fear along this liiv;.
MANY PARDON HEARINGS
Governor Morrison was engaged i11
of Wednesday with consideration of ap
plications for pardons, paroles and com
mutation of sentences. None of the
pardon cases before him were of spec
ial importance, and decision on these
appeals was not made public during
the day.
The Governor, for the purpose of
facilitating the work of his office, has
found it necessary to set aside the
second week of every month for hear
ing thfse pardon appeals. He has no
tified all attorneys and other interested
parties that he will hear oarden fp
peals during tha tweek, unless other
pressing business prevents, since he be
lieves thii; will prevent confusion nnd
misunderstandings as to dates when
the chief executive may be seen about
pardons.
Fayetteville, Sept. 15. "Camp Bngg
wins. Everything satisfactory. Your
suburb permanent. I remain your
neighbor. Congratulations." In this
terse message to The Fayetteville Ob
server Gen. A. J. Bowley, Wednesday
afternoon notified Fayetteville that its
heart's desire, as well as his own, had
been gratified by Secretary Weeks.
This means not only that the War
Department has definitely decided to re
tain Camp Bragg but that the 2,000
men now stationed there will remain
in the camp instead of going to Camp
Knox as ordered when the abandon
ment of the North Carolina camp was
contemplated, while the officers' artil
lery scnool transferred to Camp Knox,
some time ago, will come back here.
In addition to this a trolley line will
be built from Fayetteville to Camp
Bragg in order to facilitate communi
cation between the camp and city, Gen
eral Bowley have carried with him a
pledge to this effect from local busings
men when he went to the national
iapital.
Favorable action on the orotest
against the abandonment of the camp
as an active post followed a personal
inspection of Camp Bragg bv Secre
tary Weeks Sunday. To the deterrriin-
ed fight waged by General Bowley more
than any other one factor, is due the j
retention of the camp. Though assign-!
ed to -command of Camp Knox, "to
which a large number of troops had
been ordered from other camps, he
never ceased to fight for Camp Bragg.

The world is conservative and accepts new ideas and methods reluctantly,
and often crucifies the apostles of the new. It can hardly be expected that the
conservatism that burned Bruno, poisoned Socrates and crucified Christ, will
accept the new science of Chiropractic with open and unprejudiced minds. And
the same necessity which impelled Jesus to accept His apostles from among
the ignorant fishermen of Galiee. rather than from among the scribes and
Pharisees and publicans of His day, now compels the Chiropractic schools to
accept 'those who present themselves for students, and with this material as
the warp and woof to weave the fabric of the Chiropractic profession.
But in spite of this fact, and in spite of the additional fact that their
patients are recruited from among those upon whom others have failed, the
percentage of recoveries with Chiropractic Is higher than that of any other
method.
A mediocre person with the right method is incomparably more efficient than a gifted one with
the wrong method. A gangplow in the hands of an unlettered peasant is more efficient than a crooked
stick in the hands of a college professor.
The properly trained Chiropractor is a spine specialist, and his only claim is that in the analysis of
disease and the correction of its cause, there is no comparison between his and any other metod. His
training In spine mechanics and abnormalities places him in a class by himself.
Tho Trrnatinnal Association of Chiropractic Schools and Colleges, and the 21 State Legislatures that have
i v ItiESK Chironractic are in substantial agreement on the necessity of a thorough training of
tfudentf in the foHo wing subjects: Anatomy, Hisfology, Physiology Pathology Chemistry, Sympto
matSw Orthopedy Neurology, Analysis, Nerve Tracing, Adjusting, Chiropnctic Philosophy and Juris
prudence. Tt will be observed that the subjects lead directly to the degree of M. D. (which comprise about one
ti i-n rf L medical course) such as Toxicology, Bacteriology. Materia Medica. Surgery, etc., are omitted
Th s omioneaves a compact curriculum of fundamental subjects, which is thorough in the field
U ioveS and is pTacfically identical with the ordinary medical curiculum.
Tv. addiHftn of subjects peculiar to Chiropractic and upon which special stress is laid such as Chiro
pr8cnc OrtCv AnK- Nerve Tracing. Palpatation , and Adjusting, renders the teachings of Chiro
pradic in a few weeks, or by mail, an utter impossibility.

Raleigh, Sept. 15. The farmers
of tlr; coastal and mountain counties
of North Carolina have no conception
of the hard tynes that those in the
middle or Piedmont area are experienc
ing, even after reading of the water
shortages in many towns and the hydro-power
plants. The best condition
of the State's corn crop is found all
along the coast and in the mountain
counties. The areas of decline or poorer
conditions are distinctly regular until
the Caswell to Vance area is reached.
From thi3 section, averaging below
forty per cent of a crop, the next to
forty or fifty per cent belt, lies between
Bavie and Northampton counties. The
belts improve westward sauth and
east in regular ten per cent improve
ment belts to each countji width.
The state's crop averages 72 per
cent or 12 per cent less than a month
previous. While we grow impoverished,
the rational crop averages one per
cent impromement, acording to the
United States Bureau of Markets and
Crop estimates. If it were not for the
high transportation rates, the hard hit!
North Carolina farmers would be more
interested in the national average
price of about 96 cents per bushel,
while the state averages 95 cents. s
The state's corn crop is increased in
acreage, but considerably poorer than
last year, and the price much less it
now averaging but. 43 per cent of the
$2.19 price a year ago. The total crop
will be worth but 35 per cent of last
year's production.
It is suggested that the farmers of
the more fortunate counties mention
ed, get in contact with the devastat
ed areas and help each other by direct
marketing. The same opportunity is
offered with other crops.
