SMALL RESENTS AFFRONTS GIVEN U * - CONGRESSMAN SAYS ACTION OP CONGRESS INSULT TO EDU ■** * RATION BOARD. DISPATCHES FROM RALEI6H t ' Delngs and Hqpp*nin«e That Mark tha Progress of North Carolina Pee pla Gathered Around tha Stat* Capital Raleigh Washington—Representative Small, In a speech to the house protested against what he tenued a proposed In ault by Congress to the General Edu cation Board', which is one of the philanthropies sustained by John D. Rockefeller. In his, speech ho paid tribute to the work which the Rocke feller funds have accomplished in North Carolina and other Southern States. The occasion of the spech was an amendment by the senate to the agri cultural appropriation bill. The house bill had appropriated $373,240 for the farmers' co-operative demon stration* and boll weevil study, but the senate added $300,000 to this ap propriation with a proviso that none of this amount should be used in co operation with funds from the General Education Board. The house con , ferees accepted the amendment, but changed the language so as to pro hibit anybody outside the various atates from contributing and did not mention the General Education Board by name. The senate objected to the use of the General Education Board'a money on the ground that form demonstra tors were employed by the govern ment but paid only a nominal salary by Uncle Sam, the bulk of their aries being paid by the RockefWer fund. The senate decided that the loyalty of these demonstrators would lie where their salary came, from ra ther than to the government wbich nominally employed them. There fore, the Senate wanted no divided loyalty. Mr. Small pointed out in his speech that Rockefeller's money has done a wonderful amount of good In North Carolina and that it ill become* the state or congress,, after having accept ed this money and used It when the work was in its palmary stage, now to spurn it and add Insult by specify ing the genersl'education board in the bin. He said that when the hookworm work was first begun Ito North Caro lina there was a great prejudice against It, both to the Rockefeller money and to the work Itself. He said, however, that this prejudice hafc completely dls appesred and that now the 100 coun tiee in the state have appropriated an average of $250 each and that the state has appropriated SBOO,OOO.

NORTH OAROT.TNA ATLANTA SEEKS AID SUGGGEBTS CO-OPERATION IN BRINGING THE EXHIBIT SOUTH. I■, § { CHARLOTTE WANTS IT ALSO Committee of Textile Exhibitors' Aa „ seciatlen Will Visit The Clti** to Ascertain th* Advantage*. Charlotte.—ls Charlotte to secure the exhibit of Amer ican texije machiery next year? The question is being viewed from a new angle here owing to the pres ence of two Atlantians who came to ask Charlotte's co-operation In ob taining a decision favorable to the South in the first place, the choice then to lie between Charlotte and At lanta, or other Southern cities. The Atlanta representatives ana Mr. W. R. C. Smith, president of tha W. R. C. Smith Publishing Company, and Mr. L. L. Arnold, editor of Cot ton. The Smith Company publishes the Southern Engineer, Souttiern Ma chinery and Cotton, and Electrical Engineering. President Hook of the Greater Charlotte Club and local cotton men have been working for several months with the obect of securing the mammoth textile exhibit for this city, since it wouid bring thousands of cot ton mill men here from all sections of the United States. And the simul taneity of time and identity of place of meeting of the American Cotton Manufacturers' Association adds en hanced interest. Mr.'Stuart W. Cra mer of this city Is president and Mr. Clarence B. Bryant of this city is sec retary-treasurer of the latter. After a conference between Messrs. Smith and Arnold on the one hand and Mr. Hook, the latter announced that Charlotte would have a proposition to submit to the commiue*. The argument made by the Atlan tlans is that the first thing to do is to convince the committee that the South I* the locic.al place for this ex hibit, since this is the off-year be tween the two biennial times at which It Is regularly held in Boston. The Charlotteans saw cogency in this argument and agreed, to co-operale in tfcl* effort. The exhibit will require 120.000 feft of floor space. This can be se cured In the new building which is to be eret-ttid -on Welt First snWt**by the Piedmont & Northern interests. Between 1,000 and 1,500 machinists and demonstrators would be required to care for the machinery. Clearly this would be about the biggest thing that ever hit Charlotte. There was h paid attendant* ot over 2,000 persons during the 1914 exhibit held In Me chanlcs' Hall, Boston. Hors* Show in July. Asheville.—Plans are coming rapid y to a head for Ashevllle's annual iorse show and July 30 and 31 have been named as the tentative dates fot this year's exhibitions. Disastrous Ananclal experiences of- past shows hkve led the promoters -to eliminate cash premiums, this year's show being arranged merely for the entertain ment of the officers In attendance upon the. summer training camp of the gov ernment and Asheville lovers of horse flesh. Cups and rihboiiß will constitute the awards and the show will be on a smaller scale this year. However, those who are interested in th* ap proaching event desire that it will be none the less Interesting as many hav* expressed their intentions of en tering their animals. Social events which have been lacking at formei shows will be included Jn this year's program, according to tentative plans, arrangements being under way foi several dancea and dinera during the horse show week. Stat* Good Road*' Meeting. Winston-Salem.—"The approaching convention of the North Carollns Good Roads Association to be held in Raleigh early in July," said P. ft. Hanes, "is one of gceateat Importance ! and the next few year* present a field of operation that will mean much to j the development of the state, and an I opportunity for this body to accom plish things in the way of road build ing. To Build Prixariea. Warsaw. —A committee appointed by the Board of Trade haa been sollc Itlng subscriptions with which to build two prize houses to care for the tobacco crop*. This matter has met with favor among the people who have been aaked to take stock In the pro ject, and several hundred dollars have been subscribed. It is the intention to make this a stock company, and to have these houses ready to care for the crops &!* season. Although the siz* and capacity of the building* could not be learned at this time. Morganton Makes Improvements. Morganton.—Extensive town im provements are being made here and in a few months Morganton will in several respects be right up with the larger towns. Work was commenced on the Installation of a white way along Main stret and in front of the court house square. Eighteen poles with five lights each will be put up. The white wajr will mark the passing of the wooden poles in the street* and both telephone and electric light pole* will be removed at once. Work is well under way on the street.

The head of one private detective agency told me the other day, aaya "The Carpenter" In the Expreaa, that he had been obliged to engage a spe cial ataff for thta work, and that to seme receptions he has aent as many as a dozen faultleaaly attired "guests" to look after the plcturea and china of the host. ITCHING, BURNING ERUPTION Thomasvlile, Ala.—"l suffered wjth Ktema on my hands and feet two or three years. About eleven years ago I became troubled with an Itching, burn ing eruption which came on my hands and feet In little water blisters and in about a day or two when 1 would let the water out or wash It out, using my Jhands, then the places would feeter and Itch to beat the band. I could not do any work that was rough on my hands at all. It cauaed me great auf firing and Inconvenience. "! tried everything that 1 knew of or waa told and never was really re lieved until I began using Cutlcura Soap and Ointment. I would wash the parts In water with the Cutlcura Soap and then when I dried them I would ap ply the Cutlcura Ointment on the sur face In the daytime, and at night I would get a soft piece of cloth and apply the Cutlcura Ointment on my hands and let It atay that way all night.

The Centaur Company, PARADISE FOR THE BIROS Providence Seema to Havs Provided T»mp»r»U Zona for the Feathered Friend* of Man. Up in the far country where the timber falla, the calendar is respect ed. There ia no-summer before the official day set for it. The ground la held fast by frost until June la well started. There are flurries of snow, wild, bitter winds, a sky that has no mercy. And then, suddenly, the wind shifts and comes out of the south. It is summer then with leap. The Interest of the temperate zone In the northland Is that it Is there that have gone a great many 6t the migrating birds which paid ua a few days' visit and passed on. For all Its lnhospltallty to tpan, that country in summer la a paradise for birds. Its marshes are safe refuges from two and four-footed enemies. There is ex haust less material for nests. And out of the pools come myriads of Inaectrf, food that does not fail until the time for the southward bird movement ar rives. \ | Some man has said that therje Is no (tod north of latitude 69. not Inquire as to what tho birds, might have thought of that. —To/edo Blade. ( The Way of ProQress. The dog barking at a passing auto mobile Is generally supposed to be an telling a symbol of futile objection to the march of progreas as could well be Imagined. In almost the same category, however, belongs the strike of the stevedores in New Orleans against the Introduction of the elec tric truck to transport freight bp tween vessels and warehouses. The wonder Is that this Improvement has been so long delayed Instead of only now appearing—and then as a source of a new labor difficulty. One cannot have much sympathy for opposition In this particular Instance.
