The James and the Jamestown
v Exposition. -
Continued from last issue.
and completed in the most sub- T
stantial and perfect manner.. Es
pecially interesting - was the !
Post Office exhibit, showing the 1
various ways of carrying the *
mails at different eras, and in
different parts of Uncle Sam's 1
domain from Alaska to Puerok .]
Rico. A mail pouch, slit open
and stained with dark splotches 1
showed where a mail carrier in |
Arizona, F. M. Petersen, of 1
Pima county, had given his life 1
for his duty in a fight with 1
Apaches. An expert from the
Government Library shows the
various exhibits brought from
the great collection in Washing
ton. She ever has charge of a '
well-selected collection of books
wnich are loaned to employees 1
on the Grounds after Govern
ment methods. Here is the first \
edition of John Smith's Narra
tive of the settlement of Virginia.
The Exposition itself is not so
interesting as are the environs of
the city of Norfolk. Going over
to Portsmouth one morning we
remained until noon looking over
the Navy Yard. In the Park
are cannons used from Revolu
tioniry times down to the pres
ent day. Cannon taken in the
fight on the Lakes, cannon taken
in the Mexican War, a huge stone
ball fired at our ships when we
were chastising the Algerian
pirates, cannon smashed by us
during the Civil war and cannon
captured from us, guns taken at
Guantanamo and San Juan dur
ing the Spanish war —all these
are here. Then we saw the de
stroyers in for repairs." and one
immense ship of the Auxiliary
branch, in the dry dock for re
pairs, also a sub-marine in the
floating dry dock and one on dry
ground that looked like a dead
fish. But we were told she'd
, '*Be all right after they got
i through with her. "We might
j have been allowed to go down
; and inspect her, inside, but that
was the one time- during the
trip that we lost a chance of ac
quiring useful information. Some
how. our thirst for knowledge
weakened. We went over to the
Virginia, and were shown round
. her decks, the inside being all
over paint, as he was being
cleaned after coaling. She had
broken all records in that line,
naving loaded 1138 tons of coa
in four hours. Be it known to
all men that we make this state
itatem6nt on the authority of the
officer of the day, who told us
that the best way to realize what
this meant was to remember
chat this amount of coal on the
Jock was as large as two of the
very largest steamers that paly
in this coast.
Our last afternoon was partly
pent at Foet Munroe, otherwise
lenown as |old Point Comfort
whichever you please. The earth
/orks of fortifications, are some
:iing like 3 miles round, and it
i 3 a tremendous effort to walk
nem even if the officers cared t
rve the general public there,
t'he sentries virtually let you gt
tny where ynd are polite abov
ill things. The inside of the for
is just like any other pretty vil
ige and so clean tl. at it might
>e an objpet lesson to Hickory.
The very last thing anyone would
think of would be war. Really,
it puzzled us to think were all
the things could be that are to
keep the nations of Europe from
gobbling us up. There are some
funny little openings in the beau
tifully green glacis, and there is
a moat that makes you think oi
pictures of Arthurs England
this about all the untrained eye
can notice, unless you go around
behind where are a few mountec
guns for practice. Coming across
the bay, the Sun was setting, and
straight across his red dik, went
S pretty little sailboats as though
placed thvre for effect. The bay
was as a sea of glass mingled
with fire, and the spires'building
of the dist and city were rosy and
faint as those of a dream city.
It was a scene to live in ones i,
memory, and companion it is the J
one at Jamestown Islani, where v
we were allowed to stop half an
hour on the way nown the River.
The church is the main object of ,
nterest and is close to the land- |
ing but away off down at the
other end of the island your
correspondent spied a ruin that
promised something:. So we*hur
ried down to it tnrough a fiel d
knee deep in such clover as grows
only here, and an orchard of ap
ple trees that is over a century
in growth. There were the re
mains of what had been a hand- j
some brick house and let into the
wall a plate reading as follows.

of it have b-aen so restored by

NEW FIRE ESCAPE.
I An Invention of Great Merit
I That is Making With Success.
There is now being exhibited
" in this city a modern and model
1 fire escape. The demonstrations
1 of it made already in Raleigh
; showing it to be of great value
• where lives are to be saved.
The new escape is put on the
- market by the Flowers Fire Es
? cape Company, of Hickory, and
2 Mr. E. L. Flowers, the inventor.
1 is here and has shown from the
I Park Hotel and other high build
-3 ings how easy It is to reach the
. ground safely. Some fifteen suc
t cessful demonstrations were
3 made and even parties who had
- never seen the escape before trieu
i it. This fire escape is a cheap one
s »n price not in value, and Mr.
t Elowers will remain for a day oi
r 90 to further exhibit the escape
» This fire escape was patented
i the fourth of April, 1907, but it
has already been adopted in many
hotels and boarding schools,, and
r ■ t promises to be generally used.
It is a brass machine with suf
lcient cable to reach the ground,
>eing placed stationary -m the
windows, and when there is a fir«
it is only neccessary to make de
cent. It was the burning of tht
Hickory Inn on February 25 that
prompted-Mr. Flowers to work ui
the fire escape. He agrees that
necessity is the mother of ah
jrood inventions.
Mr. Flowers has organized a
tock company at Hickory and ft
las the assurance of a great
j msiness as this fire escape is
rreatlv in advance of the ones
j iow in use, as it gives a chance
) >f immediate escape to each in
j lividual and averts the panic that
» often goes with the old type of
" escapes. The invention is meeting
. jrith much favor and it is prob
f ibly will be adopted by the hotels
; ind schools here. —News and
! Observer.
Mrs. Sarah Ingold's house
caught on fire Wednesday from
a deflect in the flue. The fire
company responded at once and
the fire was put out without any
serious damage.
We are glad to have Dr. J. A.
Childs and wife back with us
' again.

A Mineral Water that Defies Drugs
NATURE'S GREAT BLOOD TONIC
The exposures in this Country have proven to all that deadly poisons
and stimulants lurk in many Patent Medicines. You never know when you might be tak
ing some of that class.
Nature has made ample provision for restoring vigor and vitality to humanity, an 4
the public, as well as doctors, resort to Natural Remedies, when all others have failed.
Are you troubled with Dyspepsia, Nervousness, Malaria, Kidney 01
Bladder Trouble, Chronic Diarrhoea or Dysentery, and above all, that
dreadful disease Scrofula, which has almost baffled human skill, or Diseases pecu
liar to Females?
Piedmont-Bedford Concentrated
. Iron & Alnm Water
Is Nature's Remedy for Nature's Ills. Yes. when you consider that disease comes
from impoverished or run down conditions of the system, this Natural Mineral Water
furnishes the system what it needs.
The analysis of this Water, shown on the bottle, tells you what Nature thinKs
you should taae when slcfeL, and the doctor who reads it will agree.
Do you think the grouping together in this Water of 17 different minerals, which
are recognized by medicai writers as most powerful blood tonics, could have been
accidental ? Reason answers, NO! '
An 18-oz bottle of Piedmont-Bedford Concentrated Iron and Alum water contains
all the minerals of 25 gallons of the average natural water —Then why buy a barrel
 of water when you can get a bottle of minerals at the trivial cost of
1 ®®e dollar. The dose is a teaspoonful in a glass of your own spring water.
.• . How this Water acts upon the system.is not clearly known. It is judged mainly
by its works. It has cured all the diseases numerated above, and many more, evidently
through its action as a powerful BLOOD TONIC. * - *
We have many valuable certificates, which we will be glad to mail, if you are
interested.
