Its Work Reviewed In teresting Program. The North Carolina Library Asso ciation will hold its fifth annual meet ing in this city December 2 and 3, in the rooms of tLe Goldsboro Woman's Club as the guest or the Goldsboro Public Library, The association was formed in May. 1904, to meet a growing demand . among the State library workers for mutual help and to aid the State's ed ucational leaders in their endeavor to . call forth and intensify a fine library ; spirit. Its purposes are the promotion lihmrv interests, the interchange of of . experience and opinion, the obtaining , of experience and opinion, the obtain ing of larger results from library la bor and expenditure, and the advance ment of the profession of librarian ship. In addition to advancing libra ry interests generally, it aims: i nv organization and forces of ,nd .nmh.rs. to effect needed reforms and imnrovements, most of which could. not be brought about by individual . effort. 2 By, co-operation, to lesBen labor ; and expense of library administration. 3. By discussion and comparison .to utilize the com Dined experiments : and experience of the profession in pe.-ifccting plans and method?., and in .solving difficulties. 4. By meetings and correauoudenes, to pruniute acquaintance and esprit de corps. Ilaviu:; puch purposes aid aims as these, 'he association appeals to all who are interested in thf library movement of the State to ai l ir iu its work librarianslibrary trustees, ed ucators, rd all others who beLeve in the healthful influence of the book in character formation and in the library as a lower for enlightenment and good aie urged to aid it ia realizing its ideai-s. Although the association is one of the most recent organizatiojis of the State, it has accomplished ruch in the wav oi helpful constructive libra ry development. It has constantly emphaj'.ied for five years the inesti mable v.ilue cf the library as an edu cator. The attention of North Caroli na has been sharply called to the fact that one part of the machinery essen tial to her largest 1 educations life has been more or less neglected. A grow ing public opinion has been festered which ultimately will influence every community in the State to provide fcr itself the very best library facilities. At the time of the association's or runiTatinti tHp. libraries of the State were operating independently alon: old lines, each following methods pe culiar to itself and more or less anti- nrhpsp varied interests have UU.bvt. been called together by the associa tion plans for improvements have been thnrousrhlv discussed, and the various libraries represented in the associa tion have 'become to a very mucn greater extent modernized. The libra rians have become acquainted with each other and have experienced the benefits resulting from attendance up rrnoT-ai lihrnrv conferences and the reading of approved library peri odicals In 1907, the association was largely Instrumental in bringing to Asheville the meeting of the American Library Association. Its object in bringim this great national meeting to the on iVio Smith was two-fold: 1. ySi LtL l.V till u To srive encouragement to those ac librarv work; and 2. to emphasize the possibilities f oi good which are to be derived from the i iKro tv aca a nnul liar educator. The X A l-- f X' hope' of the association was fully real ized in both of these purposes. The loroa VipiPEratinn from the South re. aaift"-' turned to" its work stimulated to great er endeavor, and the educational, val- nf thfi librarv had been forcibly presented to the public The association has acted the part of a foster mother to library interests in the State. 'It has helped directly in the establishment of several recent li hrn rips.- and through its membership lias aided every community or indi vidual who has sought help at its nanas x - - - terest m tne oiaiB-wmc v. rural school libraries and ha3 joined -with other organizations in tb cam paign for a new State Llibrary build ing in Raleigh. ) The most significant work of the as sociation, however,' was the securing Of the establishment of the North Car- olina Library Commission by the re cent Legislature, and the consequent opening . of the '. commission's oUce in Raleigh, from which library interests will be directed . throughout the State in the future. In establishing this commission the State was brought to recognize the great importance of this special work, and to stimulate and di rect it aright opened what may be termed a clearing house for informa tion concerning all phases of library work. The following interesting program has been arranged fof the approach ing meeting and all persons interested in libraries are cordially invited to be present: ' Thursday, December 2 4 p. m.

His Personal Counsel Unable to Ac count for His Whereabouts. .. . iL Bradley Makes Statement. Believed He Sailed. New York, Nov. 27 Dr. , Frederick A. Cook dropped completely from pub lic view today. Not even John R. Bradley, whose money was behind his polar explorations, knows where he is tonight. Confiding his secret to only one man and perhaps to his wife, the Brooklyn explorer slipped quietly and mysteri ously away leaving behind him a string of puzzled ' and exasperated friends, and a debate more acrimoni ous than that which followed his an nouncement o September last that he had discovered the north pol on April 21. 1908. Charles Wake, an insurance man of this city, appears to be the only one who knows the mystery of Dr. Cook's whereabouts. And Wake is firm In his resolve to keep his lips sealed un til Cook himself sees fit to take the public into his confidence. In the meantime concern is express ed over the condition of Dr. Cook's health.' Although some of his friends maintain that he has borne up well under the continued strain o lectur ing and preparing his data, as opposed to this an intimate "associate of the doctor said tonight that the explorer appeared to be on the verge of a ner VOus breakdown when he conferred with him at his hotel in the Bronx on Monday night last, This friend, who is a newspaper man. issued a statement trnKgnt in which he quoted Dr. Cook allaying: "If this thing keeps up a f ew-months longer, I will-be in the insane asy lum." - .' . : The puzzle of Dr. Cook's disripjvearr ance trom public view, oegau aDoui thiee o'clock this afternoon. At noon" Henry Wellington Wack, his personal counsel, issued a formal statement ex- plaining that Dr. Cook had saileo. this morning on the cunard liner caroma. Thiee hours later he issued a second st.ircment, withdrawing the first state ment and explaining that he had been informed by John R. Bradley that the doctor had not- sailed on the Caronia. Coincident with this, reports were circulated that Cook had sai'ed on the steamship Havana for "Havana. Nei- thei . so far as can be learned tonight, was correct. - "Jtfr Wack, in admitting that he knows where Dr. Cook is, declined to 'jiiV 1 ;..S ' --ii(i;!- isSmViii f ' MISS FAT WALLACE, At Pollfi of "Polly of the Circus," Mes sender Opera House, Friday gre his address, or to account in any wise for the doctor's 'sudden myste rious departure. v Said Mr. Wake: "In the circum stances he is at perfect liberty to make, what-plans he chooses. In due time he will give account of himself, and' ntil then I hope that he sets the rest he thoroughly deserves," John R. Bradley, who is thoroughly exasperated with the whole situation, bad this to say tonight: , : - "I am heartily sick of all this mys tery. Dr, Cook is under'no contract to me. I still believe in"-im. My stand tonight is just what it was the day he landed. He has my allegiance until the University of Copenhagen has dis proved his claims." T Cook's lawyer, Wack issued a third statement tonight in wicbl he reviews the conflicting reports fef the day, and winds up with the statement that "1 am forced to the conclusion that Dr. Cook isn't." , . THE SOUTK'S RESOURCES. It Is Up to the Southern Congressmen to Do Their Part in-the Matter, It is time for the members of the Southern delegation in Congress to wake up to the fact that Southern re sources have been neglected long enough and that something should be done. - iv It is up to us to purchase the Appa lachian range and to nSsike it the most that can be done. . li lt is up to the Southern congress men to do their part ir the matter. The whole South, tn 'the person of its representatives in ongress, must get behind this forest matter, must rise to a proper conception of its im portance and value and need. Must change indifference an I opposition to it into active support rot any proper measure that will accomplish it, and must do it at this session. The situation in , thfe Congress is seemingly to be peculiarly advantage ous to effective Southern - statesman ship. Such matters as "insurgent fights," "sugar investigations," so called "Tammany" deals, etc., promise a lively and stormy session, but these things make possible Lu opportunity for quiet and effective ' effort along constructive lines by-.Southern con gressmen, c.i : --33riiination , on their part to accomplish at least one big measure for the South will have just that result, if this interest shall center on the Appalachian-White mountains project. Here is an opportunity for real statesmanship that the South will grasp if statesmanship and foresight and patriotism are still Southern char acteristics!

Takes the Position That the Country aay Well Be Alarmed at the - Danger of a Tariff War , With Canada. Washington, D. C, Nov. 27. Con gressman Mann, who was chairman of the special committee on wood pulp and print paper of the last Congress, and who prepared the provisions on these items as first reported to the House by the Payne tariff law; takes the position that the country may wel te alarmed at the danger of a tariff war with Canada growing out of the tariff on wood pulp and print paper under the Payne act. . Mr. Mann has prepared, and at the beginning of the forthcoming session of Congress will introduce several bills and joint resolutions relating to this subject. One of his measures is a joint resolution to postpone the ap plication of the maximum tariff from April 1 next to January 1, .1911. An other of his resolutions provides that the maximum tariff of the United States shall be held not to apply to wood pulp and printing . paper im ported from Canada. .. Mr. Mann has also prepared and will introduce a bill which provides that wood pulp and printing paper shall be admitted free of duty when Import ed from Canada, being the product thereof, on the condition precedent that Canada or the province in which the. wood pulp or printing paper is manufactured shall not forbid or re strict or impose any export duty or export license fee upon printing pa per, mechanically ground wood pulp or wood used in the manufacture of wood pulp. .. These measures all, naturally, when introduced -will be referred by the Speaker to the comniuiae-onways aruLJ means, but Mr. Mann may make a fight in the House to have them re ferred to the committee on interstate and foreign commerce, of which he is the new chairman. In the last Congress, when the ways and means committee was endeavor ing to smother the bill introduced by Mr. Mann to prevent the importation of smoking opium, he sent a notice to every member of the House that pn a certain morning he would, move to take that bill from the ways and means committee and refer it to a rriendiy committee, rne result was a passage, of arms between Mann and Chairman Payne, of the ways and means committee, on the floor of the House, but Payne was compelled to re port favorably Mann's opium bill, and it became a law. Mr. Mann says that unless some legislation such as he proposes be adopted, or a reciprocal treaty with Canada be agreed to, Canada, smart ing under the injustice of the Payne tariff law, is likely to forbid the ex portation, of pulp wood from Canada to the United States and thereby noc only close up a number of newspaper mills of the United States, but increase the cost and price of print paper to a point which will inflict tremendous in jury not only upon tne newspapers, but upon the book publishers, includ ing especially school books. CONFERENCE CHANGES. Rev. E. H. Davis Goes to Rockingham Next Year.
