While the general public are per
haps more fully alive to the value and
importance of the approaching state
fair than ever before, said Secretary
Joseph E. Pogue last night, it can be
said nevertheless that a great sur
prise is in store when the" curtain
rises for the forty-fourth annual fair
whih will be formally opened in this
city just nine days hence.
There are many reasons why this
fair will really excel all others, why it
should be made the most notable event
in the history of this state. First and
foremost, the president of the United
States, .Theodore Roosevelt, is coming
to meet with the good people of the
"Old North State" at the fair grounds
and talk to them about live issues
affecting their fortunes and the tor
ture, of this, country in his charac
teristic, strenous way. It seems that
all of North Carolina and thousands
without the state will be here to greet
oui president, especially on "Presi
dent's Day," October 19th. The speech
will be delivered at about 11:30 o'clock
f'.cm a handsomely decorated stand
directly at the fron of the grand from
which point everybody will have an
opportunity to see and hear him speak.
Again It is certain that the exhibits
in field crops, cattle, sheep and swine,
improved agricultural machinery,
poultry, products of the mine mills
and factories, fine arts, painting? and
artistic work, handicraft, artistic skill
and ladies' fancy work, etc., will
measure up to the highest plane of
excellence.
The trials of speed on the race track
will present the most interesting spec
tacle in this line ever seen hi; the
state. A superior class of fast racers
are coming to the state fair this year
and the display of fine horse flesh;
from the best bred American racers
to the finest imported draft percheron
will be in "full dress" parade before
the eyes of President Roosevelt, who
is himself a great lover of hOrse flesh.
There "Will be attractions and amuse
ments to an extent and variety never
before approached in the south. It is
now the "trah" It was the "Midway
Plaisance" at Chicago, the "Pike' at
St. Louis,' the "Trail" at the Lewsis
and Clark Exposition. Hence It is tne
these wb expect te make exhibits, ta

TENDER TWILIGHT THOUGHTS
By HENRY BLOUNT
Woman's love is as blind and as deaf.
Is it is precious and. beautiful.
There Is no ill, no grief, no bereave
ment ro jrrs.t but what God prepares a
.palm an1 a solace.
Twilight Is the soft and pensive link
Jn thejknowed chain which blinds the
tares of closing day with the peace
bf opening night.
Prayer is .he sacred avenue to God
and confession is the key that opens
the temple ofmercy, and faith Is the
Sens through which we see the glories
Of celestial splendors.
Let not the poisonous snake of ha
tred and malice coil itself up in your
froart, and fling its vile and destructive
Jtnd death dealing venom of slander and
)nalediction from your tongue.
The man who wrongs a poor fellow
fccincr. and does him a great injustice,
suffers more than the man who re
, ceives the hurt and sting, unless his
own conscience is so sacred with the
fires of depravity that the heart is in
sensible to feeling and cannot nurse a
jioble emotion.
Out of trials and troubles andtortures
fcave emerged the sweetest and purest
Jnd loveliest and strongest souls, and
ha most massive and Xlhristlike char
atcrs are seaavd with. oa.rs .received
in the raging storms of fiercest con
flict. Martyrs have put on their robes
of glory glittering with the fires of
torture, and through glittering tears
iie sorrow crowned and grief robbed
have first seen the pearly gates of par
adise and caught ecstatic visions of Its
glories and its beauties.
' Charity Is the sweetest virtue. It is
like a star on a dark night, or a gleam
of sunshine on a cloudy day. It is like
a luxuriant flower, for its exquisite
odor is refreshing and invigorating,
and is as sweet and as cheering as the
fragrance that is born in celestial bow
ers, when angel hands doth nurse and
tend the purest, sweetest flowers. And
when that rare and precious flower is
worn on the lappel of our deportment
there is always a sweet perfume xof
good cheer lingering around our pres
ence; and our ministry becomes a bles
sing, and pronounces its own bene
diction. When a man and a woman are uni
ted in holy wedlock with the right mo
tives and with the determination to
live for each other, then it is marriage
Decomes to them the grand and glo
rious and magnificent God-planned
temple of the purest bliss and the
sweetest comfort and supremest joy
and the richest rapture that this earth
holds for mortals. Reciprocal love is
that sweet, God strung, divinely tuned
and Heavenly toned organ from which
float out In thrilling waves of delicious

What They Say About Us
London, Oct. 7. European camment
upon the expose of the American in
surance companies has been remarka
bly restrained. The subject attracted
widespread attention. ' But there has
been no wholesale denunciation and no
attempt .to run the situation to the
advantage of the home companies.
The most important utterance yet
made on this point by a leading jour
nal in today's Morning Post. After
first conceding the complete solvency
of the implicated companies the Post
says: '
"Englishmen L have been profoundly
shocked by the discovery that these
international incorporations have been
used in the interest of Wall street, and
that some of the .most distinguished
representatives of American commerce
finance and public life have allowed
themselves and have been allowed to
treat the premiums of millions of policy-holders
as a means of private gain
Americans can scarcely be surprised to
learn that the confidence of ,
their business integrity has been sta
gered by tne multiplying proo
much laxity and wrong-doing.
one may be coned by the time the cur
tain rises in Raleigh nine days hence.
It will be. a popular trail, too, for all
sorts and conditions of man, .woman
and children-kind, because aiong its
highway will be found an unbroken line
of floating bunting spreaaing ov-ii-
every available foot of space, beneath
which will be featured a new and novel
variety of shows and atttractions rep
resenting the latest and best to be
found upon the modern midway. Obso
lete shows have been tabooed and only
such as offer new and startling fea
ture have been booked. It is not worth
while for the management to be con
tented with giving the people what
they have in the past sen, or what
might be considered such things as
would be entirely satisfactory to the
public, but they must go further in
keeping with the spirit of southern pro
gress and give the people something
in the nature of a genuine surprise by
reason of superior merit. The great
state fair is no lagard. It aspires to
the honor of setting the pase for pro
gressive North Carolina to follow. By
progressive is meant the new jNortn
Carolina" of today on whose industriel
development the eyes of the world are
turning:.
No such proposition as this would be
practiceable, involving the thousands
of dollars that it would cost the agri
cultural society were it not based upon
the pledges of the railroads to meet the
demands of the occasion and move the
multitudes from all over the state to
and from the fair. The . city of Ral
eigh and the chamber of commerce are
actively co-operating with the fair au
thorities to the end that sucient ac
commodations may be provided to take
care of all who come. .'

The force at the office of the sec

.-aiictBcmeni again calls attention
The "change of life" is
the most critical period
of a woman's existence,
and the anxiety felt hj
women as it draws near
is not without reason.
.Every woman who
neglects the care of her
health at this time in
vites disease and pain.
When her system is in
a deranged condition,
or she is predisposed to
apoplexy, or congestion
of any organ,, the ten
dency is at this period
likely to become active
an d with a host of ner
vous irritations, make
life a burden! At this
time, also, cancers and
tumors are more liable
to form and begin their
destructive work.
Such warning symp
toms as sense of suffo
cation, hot flashes, head
aches backaches, dread
of impending evil, timid
ity, sounds in the ears,
palpitation of the heart,
sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipa
tion, variable appetite,
weakness and inquie
tude, and dizziness, are
promptly heeded by in
telligent women who are
approachincr the npr4n4
in life when woman's great change
may be expected. . j -
These symptoms are all just so many
calls from nature for help. The nerves
are crying out for assistance and the
ry should be heeded in time. '
