A. Bland who re ferred to his rapid rise in the realm of education to the fact that much of his early life and work was spent in North Carolina schooldom. Dr. Claxton began his address by ex pressing his appreciation of the honor of returning to this State after an ab sence of many years and witnessing such a remarkable growth in North Caro lina's resources and especially its re awakened enthusiasm for the cause of education- Dr. Claxton reviewed his first trip into North Carolina 36 years ago, tell ing of poor railroad facilities with small J towns where Asheville, Greensboro, High Point, Durham and other thriving cities now stand, with now and then a cotton mill, a tobacco factory or other Indus trial plants. In 1860 there were 116,000 white men of voting age in the State and 124.000 of them went into the army, of whom 24,000 did not come back. Cotton was worth 4 1-2 cents a pound. "That was when the old state was dying and the new slate was being born," Dr. Claxton said, adding that most people were looking backward, but some were looking forward. The first graded school to survive was start ed in Goldsboro in 18S1. Wilson, Wil mington and Durham followed the next year, with Winston-Salem a year lat er. Forty years ago the salary of the school teacher averaged $51 a year and the term lasted two to two and a half months. In 1S0 all of the higher in stitutions of the statt- were run on $56, 000 a year. EDUCATIONAL. REVIVAL, He recalled that it was his great good fortune to work with Ay cock, Mc Iver, Joyner, Winston and later Dr. Alexander Graham in the development of educational facilities in the state Dr. Claxton said that in 1SS6 in Ral eigh he made the statement that he would like to see $5,000,000 a year spent on education in this state and was laugh ed at. Last year $14,000,0.00 was ap propriated, he said. In 1S68 a man from Mecklenburg got a bill through the legislature pro viding for expending $250,000 in the county to build good roads, but it was 10 years before that man Alexander was able again to go to the legisla ture, Dr. Claxton said. In education, North Carolina is just making a start, said the speaker stating that he had long thought North Caro lina was the most progressive state in the south. A westerner told him once to say in the nation. He agreed, he said, adding that this state is going to work with more rapidity and cer tainty than in any other ttate. EDUCATION AND WEALTH Speaking of the objective value of edu cation. Dr. Claxton said that people en gage in various activities that they may increase wealth and the only means to increase wealth is better education of the people. Dr- Claxton said that while he was in Greensboro he asked himself the ques tion of why one state or nation is rich tr than another. He took natural re sources as a basis of applied it to many nations and states, finding many largo nations with ample resources that were poor, with other small and with few natural advantages, rich and progres sive. Dr. Claxton used the Bible figure of the prophet who asked the woman to make him a cake of what little oil and meal she had left. She made, it find then-made cakes for herself and 1 er eon, having the same amount left. That old prophet sponged on her for several weeks that way. But that tijrure is out of dale. In spt-ndinrr for educa tion, there is not only the sarce amount left, but the increase is many foid, he said. When he came to North Carolina many said the atmosphere of this state was not suitable for spinning yarn and weaving cloth, Dr. Claxton said, adding that the atmosphere is changed. "I would like to come back to North Caro lina 20 years from now and see every boy and girl have a free and full op portunity for education-" "The greatest enterprise is mak ing mr:n and women," said Dr. Clax toi. who spoke of t'n development of the state school system from its beginning- in 1825, revival in 1S52 and in 180 and up to the nresent tir.e, saying that it is the mos: American thing the state has, that it is fundamental for democracy for all of the p- -pie to pay in proportion to thsir ability in order that all children may have full, free and equal opportunity for education. STATE'S NEW rKOGKAAf Last year No. th Carolina paid more into ti e federa" treasury then she has paid in the 25'; years cf the state's existence for education, Dr. Claxton said, adding that the state must dou ble yet what it has been paying. Some say wait until the lederal taxes are re duced, that it is too much at once, along with the road program and other activities. All go hand in hand and are supplementary. The state can't build roads and bridges without doing more for education, Dr. Claxton said. Dr. Claxton drew his pictiue cf his ideal of school facilities, with a 10-month term, well equipped elementary schools, plenty of high schols with modern ap plication, fxJly equipped colleges and universities, both state and denomina tional, until cverv man or .vnm.in mav become fully developed, make their owr. support, live clean lives and contribute their part toward make the state a better plane in which to live. EXPLORER OFF FOR SOUTH SEA Shackleton Starts on Two Year Cruise for the Ant arctic Regions London, Sept. 17. (By the Associa ted Press) Quest, the small ship cn which Sir Ernest Shackleton will ex plore the uncharted sections of the South Atlantic, the Pacific and the An arctic seas, left the Thames today s on tne start or her two-year voyage. j Large crowds gathered on the docks! to wish Sir Ernest and his party a successful voyage. The voyage of the Quest, the quaint little 200-ton ship which is carrying Sir Ernest Shackleton and his party to frozen mysteries in the South Polar Seas, has for Its objectives not only oceanographic research but the explora tion of a petrified forest and the loca tion of a 'ilost" island Tuanaki the adjacent waters of which have not been sailed for more than 90 years. Tn addition, soundings will be taken of he ocean plateau surrounding Gough's Is land in an effort to determine the truth regarding a supposed underwater con tinental connection between Africa and America. Nineteen persons, representing each of the British self-governing dominions, are expected to be aboard when th-i tiny but stanch craft, "built for tight corners," leaves Capetown. South Africa, for two years' of buffeting iH way through the Antaractic ice. The Quest, which uses both sail and steam, and which may cover more than :)0,000 miles before its return homt, was constructed according to the per sonal ideas of Shackleton, who has made several voyages to the Antarctic. He commanded the British expedition of 1907-09. which reached within 37 miles of the South Pole and also the expedition of 1914-15 tn WortHoii So-i nis present snip is ill feet long, 25 foot beam and 12 leet in depth.

She ima a r-ioco'an.ir,o.,4 bridge and a lookout that resembles a flour barrel. Major C. R. Carr. an English soldier of fortune, the aviator of the expedi tion, plans to fly abov the fogs to scout out passages between the floes through which the Quest may pas. tie is also the photographer and naturalist of the exnedition. The t; plano he will use is one of onlv three that were ever built. The other two were flown, respectively, by Colonel Borten V. C, the pioneer flyer from England to Mesopotamia and by Sir Boss Smith, the first man to fly from England to Australia. Other members of the Shackleton parly, besides those already mentioned, include Frank Ktikl mand; Frank Wnrsley. commander; Ma jor a. ji. juacklm. biologist; R. Sten house, lieutenant L. Hussey, meteorologist; J. S.'V. Marr aim in. r. Aiooney. cabin boys. The petrified forest that will be oX. plored was found by Shackleton on thn island of Trinidad at a certain point where he landed from Captain Robert F. Scott's Shin, the Diannverv mtwo than 12-years ago. Goueh's Island i eight miles long and 4,000 feet high and in 1904, when visited for the first time on record by members of the Bruce expedition, was found to have fit least four hitherto unclassified species of birds. Tuanaki. the "lost" isinni has' been mentioned in old nautical rec ords but apparently has disappeared. A spot in the Pacific where it is supposed to be will be dredged for evidence to show that it is recently submerged land. There is already in the South Polar regions, another British expedition. It is led by Commander John L. Co J ;, who left Norfolk, Ya., on October 27! 1920. for a six years' sojourn in thi ice fields. The party is aboard a 7.000 ton' whaler, the Thor I, and three aux iliary ships and numbers more than 100 men. One of its purposes is the commercial development of the mineral wealth of Antaractica. j . : : 1! Exposition Notes) i i "THE HOUSE OF SERVICE" Double Guarantee.

The Southern Publia Utilities Com pany now has one of the Interurban I cars on tne sm)ri-iengtn tracK. i ji transporting visitors from the Hoskins car line to the Exposition building. The trolley car, which was used the firnt three days, was usually overcrowds J on its trips to and from the Expos! tion building and much inconvenience, consequently, was caused passengers. The big interurban car is capable of j accommodating twice as many people comfortably. The trolley car left the track as it was rounding the cvfrve near the Hos kins car line Thursday night. Only the conductor was aboard it at the tini'-. It was removed from service and Fri day morning the interurban coach re placed it. CHILDREN INVADE BOOTHS. The Exposition proved a more Int J esting1 novelty to the thousands of school .children Friday afternoon than a county fair. Virtually every booth was , invaded, and nothing escaped close in spection by Charlotte's future citizens. Many souvenirs were given out at various booths and these went like hot-cakes. MACHINES ATTRACTIVE. The booths at the Exposition which are attracting the most attention are those in which machinery is in mo tion. The Made-in-Carolinas manage ment has called this fact to the atten tion of exhibitors, and it is expected that in future years booths with action will predominate at the Exposition. The American Tobacco Company booth has perhaps drawn the largest crowd because of the operation of big ma chines engaged in the manufacture of cigarettes. SATCHELS GIVEN AWAY. Twenty-five hundred school satcheis were distributed by the Chapin-Sack f-22 Cream Company. The school kids crowded the booth as "the velvet kind ' manufacturers gave out the book-carriers. Miss Mamie" Jones, of Shelby, supervised the distribution of sampl-is of marshmallow cream,,, peanut butter, candies, salted peanuts and potato chins made and packed by the Lane Lincoln Ice Cream Company booth was another place where the children were treated, ice cream blocks disappearing with marvelous rapidity. Samples of salad were distributed by Mrs. H. C. Duke, originator of Duke's home-mirta mayonnaise. The Duke factory, lo cated at Greenville, S. C, is the resuit of a small and inconspicuous beginning, and has the distinction of being the only plant to bottle home-made mayon naise successfully. PURCELL'S Women's Garments of Quality PURCKLL'g When You Can Get Madeira Handkerchiefs For 50c Isn't It Very Much "Up To You"? DR. CLAXTON INTERESTED. Dr. P. P. Claxton. former Federal Commissioner of Education, made a tour of the booths after he had c.im pleted his address at the Made-in-Carolinas Exposition Friday. Dr. Claxton marvelled at the progress North Car olina has made since he first came to the State in 1882. That such a va. riety of articles are manufactured in this State was a pleasant surprise tc the former Tar Heel. EXHIBITORS WILL BE DINNER GUESTS Exhibitors at the Made-in-Carolinas Exposition will be guests at the lunch eon to be given by th Charlotte Cham ber of Commerce in honor of Governor Cooper at the Selwyn hotel Monday ex 1 o'clock, according to arrangements made Saturday by Business Manager T. T. Allison. Reservations for the luncheon have been made by about 250, Mr. Allison announced. Short talks are expected to be made at tire luncheon by some of the exhibitors, in addition to the ad dress by Governor Cooper. The Palmetto State executive will be the chief figure of "South Carolina" day Monday at the Exposition. He will speak from the bandstand in the amphitheater in the rear of the build ing at 3:30 o'clock Monday afternoon. Mr. Allison called special attention to the selection of the Selwyn hotel a? the place for the luncheon, fearing that some might look for the affair to take place at the Chamber of Commerce. BEFORE m AFTER CHILDBIRTH t Mrs. Williams Tells How Lydia E. Pinkham'sVegetable Compound Kept Her in Health Typewriters of all makes sold, rent ed, exchanged or repaired. Pound & Moore Co. Phone 4542. 23-tf Overpeck, 0. "Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound helped me both before ana aiier my baby was born. I suffered with back ache, headache, was generally run down and weak. I saw Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Com pound advertised in the newspapers and decided to try it. Now I feel fine, take care of my two boys and do my own work. I recommend your medicine to anyone who is ailing. You may publish my testi monial if you think it will help others. ' Mrs. Carrie Williams, Overpeck, Ohio. For more than forty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been restoring women to health who suffered from irregularities, displace ments, backaches, headaches, bearing down pains, nervousness or "the blues?' Today there is hardly a town or hamlet in the United States wherein some woman does not reside who has been made well by it. That is why Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the' standard remedy for such ailments. 1 Manufacturing enterprise and artis tic merit are both demonstrated at the booth occupied jn the exposition by the Hood Brick Company, which has an interesting display of its products on exhibition. It is in the folder handed out by the company that real artistry of a high Quality is shown. The folder is illustrated with drawings by T. W. Pritchard, a Charlotte man who is rapidly forging his way into recogni tion as a leading artist. The folder was both originated and designed by him. It has won many complimentary re marks from visitors to the exposition, as has also the booth it represents. Mr. Pritchard iss pecializing in com mercial art. FREAK HOG ARRIVES AS AN EXHIBITION Mr. Morris Barfield, from Mount Olive, has arrived in the city from Hickory where he has been exhibiting the wonderful freak two-legged hog which he had on exhibition in Charlotte some weeks ago. The' characteristics of this hog are that it has no hip Joints, hams, hind legs or tail, but walks and balances itself on its two front feet while walk ing. The feats that it performs while in the act of walking are similar to the tactics employed by an acrobat in the art of walking on his hands. The hog is seventeen months old, weighing approximately 130 pounds, is in perfect health. It. has been exam ined by the local veterinarians in Charlotte and everything claimed for it by its owner has been found to be true. This hog is a native of Sampson county having been raised by a Mr. George Tyndar, of Clinton.
