Wk will feel much better over it if he hearing before the Supreme Court hows that the State was right all : long. Durham Herald. The State was right in the stand it ook to enforce the law whatever the upreme Court may decide as to its mstitutionality. The 2 cent rate nay have been wrong to begin with nd it may beeonfiscatory and there- re uneotistititutional, but until it so declared by the proper judicial ribunal it is the law of North Caro- (.na and ought, to be obeyed. Thk friends of Mr. Taft say that he kill have things his own way in Ohio, ut the friends of Mr. Foraker would io worna claim mat mere lsnoirutu n it, so we will reallv know nothing mt il the votes are counted.

North Carolina at the Exposition. :.-ilcij;li News and Observer. The Jamestown Exposition is one r the most creditable and faithfu ublic exhibits ever held in America uid it presents the truest renresenta ion the South has ever had at an xposition. Especially is North Car man s exhibit praiseworthy. It hows the State as it is, with its vast uid undeveloped wealth, its unwork d mines, its fabulous water powers ts liberal acres of farming land with iicmlible fertility, and countless op ori unities lor the Drain worker and he brawn worker. It gives au at ractive invitation to every earnest nan who has money to invest or a villingness to work, or who is look ng for a home in au ideal climate he industries of the State are rep re nted in their products, which are m exhibition, and the Statn tnV-ea reeedence industrially at the Expo ltion.

In these exhib ts are represented foods and food roducts, machinery and appliances lorwcuiiure, iruit culture, lioricul luu-.incnuck, uom domestic and wild animals, fish products am Jn""'llls or nsniug, mines and inning, vessels and vehicles, trans portaion exhibits, manufactures very kind, electricity and electrica ippnances. line arts, paintimr. archi 1 lllltll V A.' 1 mviuie, uecoruiiou. education ant iterature. Due of the most hiirhlv nrnWri r me exhibits in the Literal Art plays at the Exposition is the North Carolina 1-Mnenr ;m ri,;i.;t pronounced to be good beyond com pare wim the remainder of the edn catioual exhibits.and one of the inns artistic ever arranged hv nv Rtnt it attracts the attention of all visi- i tors,and reveals with silent elnn the glory that spreads itself over North Carolina as the result of a grand educational awakening. No other State inthe South can make so creditable a showing. In the excellence rf 1 . utauuioc tures, in her unparalleled resources and in the attractiveness of her fu ture as are indicated by her exhibit at Jamestown, North Carolina takes the lead, and the State will be in evi dence to take the lead in the numbers to visit Jamestown during the week of August 12 to 17. Glenn is Exactly Right Hon. Edward W. Pou, Member of Congress from North Carolina, Stands by Executive in Enforcing State Laws. In reply to a telegram from the New York World asking for and ex pression of opinion on the subject named, Hon. Edward W. Pou sent the following from Uuffalo, N. Y., where he was stopping at the time: JjI'fkalo, N. Y.. July 2'.). (Jovernor Glenn is exactly right in see ing that the laws of a sovereign State are respected and obeyed. The contempt which Judge l'ritcbard has shown for the lawn of our State may raise an issue which will unite all men who are op posed to the obliteration of State linen. President Roosevelt and Secretary Uoot are largely responsible for the unfortu- note condition 01 anairs iu our oiuic. Vnv action w hich may be taken by those Members of Congress who still believe in upholding the Constitution will probacy Jepend upon the extent to which Judge ntchard may go in ignoring Mate laws. I wish heartilv to commend Governor ilenn for his determination to enforce the law of our State. An amendment to the Constitution of the Cnited States nrovirlintr for the election of Cnited .States Judges by the people would, in my judgment, forever end that judicial ursurption of power which Jefferson pre dicted might become a menace to the 'epublic.

Parker's Two Drug Stores. North Carolina in History at the Jamestown Exposition. 'oniniunieuted. The History Ruilding just completed and not yet open to visitors, cost $ 1JJ0, 000, and it is u tiling of beauty outside wlr.le inside it in being filled with rich treasures of historical things and facts that make it one of the attractive places at the Imposition. On entering the door you are greeted with life size portraits of many of hnglanu s kings, the famous and infamous are grouped in fine array and make an American feel as .Major Jones of Georgia, did on his trip down the St. Lawrence with the ontish ensign flying above him. Ruton turning around we see tlie life size picture of our leudy as he sits over the front door watching the group and our nerves become steady for we realize that we are in the Land f the Free and the Home of the Brave. There is one sad gap in this pictorial his tory of hngland.at least to the non-con formist, and that is the leaving out of any record of theCromwellian protect r- ite. 1 he great commoner is absent, his great deeds that make his country fa mous and lifted hnglanu to a hight among nations that she had never filled before, and formed, with the exception of the Klizabethian period, the brightest period in her history, seems to be passed over insilence, while the portraitof 'harles 1 is the hrst to greet the eye. Hell, we hope Sir Charles still lives and can look at our country today and see that his infamous doctrine Aex Dei urn tm has been east, aside in America and in its place the (Jod-given motto Vox I'opnli ox Ih'i is enthroned in the heart of ev ery true son of the greatest of countries. r.utitis notof hngland we would write but of our own Commonwealth. This will be far more interesting and pleas ant, that North Carolina is well repre sented at the Historical I'.uildiug no one will doubt when we say the collection is under the direction of Mrs. Liudsey 1 atterson of inston-Salem.who isably assisted by Miss Mary Milliard Ilinton ol lUleigh, and .Miss Jlebecca bchenk of (Jrcensboro. Through the courtesy of these ladies we were permitted to look over the entire collection. The first ob ject that attracted our attention was the life size portraitof some of the State's great men. ! irst was one of J udge (Jas- tou, our great jurist, and the author of our 80112 'Carolina, Carolina. Heaven s IMessings Attend ller,"etc. Then Alfred .Moore and .lames Iredell. These men have never been excelled in wisdom and patriotism and were amonir the irreat builders of our Statehood. Overhanging these was the portrait of Theodosia IJurr. daughter of Aaorn Burr, who married Gov. Alston of South Carolina, and who is supposed to have lost her life at sea or captured by pirates. Her fate was a sad one indeed. This picture was washed ashore on Nag's Head and picked up by a fisherman. On the back wall hung the portrait of Dr. James Norcom of Kden ton. who was a surgeon of note in the war of Beside him was the por trait of Mrs. Winfred Haskins, who was U secretary of the Kdenton Teal'artv com- mittee. Then along a line on the oppo site wall were a number of pictures known as the John White pictures of Indians as he found them on lloanoke Island. In addition to these paintings, all done in oil, are quite a number of interesting pictures of the houses in which were born three of the presidents of the United States Jackson, Polk and Johnson, be sides numerous other scences of land scapes and iersons. Then in case? are to be seen relics of the Revolution, old Hint lock guns, muskets, pistols, swords, knives, all of whu'h have seen actual service in the battles of Alamance, Moore's Creek, King's Mountain and (luilford Court House. Then we saw the first printing press ever used in North Carolina. This old press was set up first in llillsboro and hord Cornwal lis had many of his numerous proclama tions printed on it. Then we saw a model of the house in which the Kdenton Tea Party was held an old fashioned French mansard roof but very prettv. Then the silver service of Flora MacDoii ald. Poor Flora, she sang iu vain, "Who Shall be King but Charlie." and went to her grave perhaps unwept. But the de scendants of her brave Scotch are among the bravest and best of North Carolina's sons. Then we must speak of the display of the Wachovia Historical Society of Wiu-ston-Salem, rich in memories of the past. Here is shown the home upon which was placed "Welcome, Ureat Washington," on his trip to that town, and many other things of interest. Indeed, the whole dis play does credit to our State, and too much credit cannot be given to the Indies in charge, and of our State who have worked so hard and been so careful in preserving the memories of our Stnte. The pictures of the Indians were present ed by Col. Benehan Cameron, whose as sistance in the display marks him as one of our most patriotic citizens. We believe that every North Carolinian who comes here should visit this display. It will make him feel that he no longer lives on a atrip of laud between Virginia nnd South Carolina, but that ours is among the greatest of the great MAMELQX. The Limit of Life. - . . ... me most eminent medical scientists Are unanimous in the conclusion that the general ly accepted limitation of human life is many years below the attainment possible with the advanced knowledge of which the race is now possessed. The critical period, that de termines its duration, seems to be between f.0 and GO: the proper care of the body dur ing this decade cannot be too strongly urged; carelessaees then being fatal to longev ity.
