There is a big feature in our city life that should be advertised more, and that is the superior educational advantages. This is a great asset of Raleigh and one that should be pushed. With 29 schools Of various kinds within the city, access to the " museum and the well-equipped libra- ries, the departments of state, all sources of information that are un available in other North Carolina cities, we have an advertising ad vantage that should not be wasted. Charlotte brags of her business life and of her electrical advantages; Greensboro of her railroad facilities and manufacturing establishments; Winston-Salem of her tobacco in dustry; Asheville has her beautiful scenery and healthful climate; Wil mington boasts of her shipping inter- CtRADE Si flSiJ COUNCIL ff publishes to the world every possible ateQ ur,der supervision of a receiver asset that it has to induce people to 1 ship.

The trouble is, we do not sufficiently use the advantage that we have. We have buried our talent, and when the great industrial and homeseeking master asks us what we have done to increase what was given us. we march up with ex- t,H Df actly what we had to start with and say we burled our talent, but here It is. Let us take it and put it to use and we will be astonished at how manyfold returns it will produce.

The other day on the streets of Greens boro a well known white Republican asked a negro, who has been travelling over the Northern and Western' States, what the educated negroes of those sections thought of President Taft He replied that some commend ed him, others did not, whereupon the aforesaid white Republican let loose and scored the president. "Oh, well," said the colored brother, 'vou white Republicans have no ground to kick. 1 Qne day CantrelI overheard some of Mr. Taft Is giving you just what yutne women passengers discussing the Republicans have no ground to kick. ave ui.

(By George Jardine MUligan.) iThlngs happen more quickly on ship-, board than anywhere else, always ex- ceptlng the -Riviera expresses.

" This of course, may -be an exaggeration, and Safvae 'experience can be cammed into the space of a voyage whose lesson should I be extremely : valuable and should with care last quite a. long time. Miss Charterls nitet Dekker ten -min utes after the boat left Bombay, and their acquaintance ripened like rye In a Wf t wind and a southern sun.

' Dekker, knowing that he could have nothing j better to do, and also having plenty of time to do it In, made the most of W' I There was no danger In this no fool ish risk or singed wings or cracsea hearts. Both Dekker and Miss Char terls knew exactly the game the other was playing, and each knowing It, proceeded to get the fullest satisfac tion out o? It. If Dekker ever thought that JIlss Charteris might be caring for him a little more than was absolutely nec essary, he was always disabused of Mm fmm um)er her lomf ,ashes and miled. ' On this very satisfactory basts. Miss Charterls and Dekker managed to get as much solid enjoyment out of the " cubed Te olhe' v .w ... . dM J inPve their tempers or their opinion' Cnarteriswnen 8he was not, present. Both Miss Charterls and, wUh the,r fect understanding, and In Its full iB11hl The other emplor-lP"," !!!; and Miss Charterls" character became as the flag which has braved the battle and the breeze a thing of shreds and patches. This is where Cantrell entered the story. Cantrell was fair and youth ful, and believed In the glory of the universal goodness of woman. Reduced to workable dimensions, this meant that he admired Miss Charteris, who was beautiful in a stately, handsome kind of way. Had Miss Charteris not been beautiful, Cantrell would not have given her a second thought, and would have looked for the glory and universal goodness of woman else where. This, however, has nothing to do with the story. Miss Charterls graciously said that she was entirely at his service. bright particular virtues of Miss Char terls. They were discussing them with trimmings, and almost unnecessary de tail, .and the "glory and universal goodness" seemed to be missing some where. Cantrell went at first extreme ly hot, and then unpleasantly cold. Then he retired with a nasty taste In his mouth, and went up on deck to get some clean air. That night Cantrell. waited for Miss Charteris to come on deck after din- 1 m'l . lien, uviure itaaci iiuu nine; utes of her valuable time. It was rather Important, said Cantrell, who was looking very white, and tense, and earnest. - What followed was so surprising that It is a wonder that Miss Charteris did not show the other passengers some thing of her astonishment. Cantrell led her to the end of the after deck, arranged a chair for her, and with out any preliminaries," but with con siderable agitation, began by telling her of the loving kindness and chari tableness of the other DBSsensrers the fwoman ones-vtnward her. Miss Char- 8he was . genuinely surprised out of heraelf and pnrtIy Decause he sp0Ke cantrell had said In effect that the Iady pasengers had said all the nasty tnings they haa because she, Miss ' charterls, was good and beautiful, ! and tnat was sufficient for nlm.

She may , have been grievously tempted more than once during the recital to snub - the unfortunate Cantrell, but, being as wise as she was beautiful, . she held her peace. , : I She knew what the other passengers, hA .lot' hud heen aavlnr about her. also knew that she could not al-. t0K.ther ignore the remarks , of her gjgters.

Then he went forward so as to get shelter of the wind screens for his pipe. Pass ing along the deck he heard Miss Char terls"" voice. He heard) Miss Charterls ray, "What could I do? The poor little lambkin was dreadfully In earn est, and I did not want to hurt his feelings. Besides he really meant it." Then he heard Decker give a short laugh and say "How did you let him down?" To which Miss Charterls replied, "I said I would give him an answer tomorrow; but seriously, Val (Valentine was Dekker'p name), we have been rather patiently foolish haven't we? and this youthful Bayard for he Is good looking might bo a little useful in in diverting public attention, which, you must admit, Is becoming a little embarrassing." Again Dekker gave a short laugh, and the conversation switched off Into some thing else. As Cantrell walked away he noticed the remarkable clearness with which he could hear the revolutions of the screw. Then he went head-long down, the smoke room staircase, which he did not perceive this time, and bumped his head so severely that he had to be carried to his cabin, where he re mained for the rest of the voyage, suffering from slight concussion. Miss Charteris was very good; she sent a message every day asking how he was progressing. Double-track S. A. L. The Charlotte Observer of yester day contained the following which will be read with Interest by the peo ple all over the state, but more particularly In this section: "There Is a rumor afloat that the Seaboard Air Line is making prepara tions to double-track its line from Hamlet to Norlina. Nothing official on the subject has been learned, If this work were contemplated for the near future the officials would hardly give out thenews until they were ready to begin operations. That Is the usual policy of railroads. So the fact that the report is neither affirm ed nor denied does not take from or add to the probability of it being n rect. The chances are that the .owners of the system are looking Into the matter of double-tracking that part of the Kne at some time in the not far distant future. It is a very im portant part of the system, for at Norlina on the north the road branches to Richmond and to Ports mouth and at Hamlet on the south to Charlotte, Wilmington and to points in Florida and in the south west. The traffic from all these con verging roads has to pass over the stretch of about one hundred and six ty miles of single tratk. That a double-track is needed at present can hardly be doubted, and with the ex pected increase of the company's bus iness from extension of its' lines and development of the territory it serves the time will soon come when a single track will be unable to accommodate the business of the road. Taking these things into consideration, one can well believe there is truth in the report that double-tracking from Norlina to Hamlet is be'.ng consider ed. The other big railroad systems operating in this state have found it necessary to double-track parts of their lines to prevent train blockad ing. Similar conditions exist on the Seaboard Air Line, and it will be forced to follow the example of the other two roads. We hope the rumor that such work is now in contemplation is true, for it would mean expectation of Increased business for the road and it will en able the company to give the public much better service." It Is hardly probable that this will be dohe until the reorganization takes place, and the receivers discharged, but it Is thought that this will be done in the near future.. The finan cial condition has greatly Improved during the past year,, and there is no reason why this, much needed Im provement should not be made. HOTEL ST.
