teous but dangerous practice, and re
questing all adult males to confine
themselves to a drawing room bow

NORTH CAROLINA CROPS
Condition of North Carolina Crops
for the Fast Week as Given Out by
the Department Conditions for
Week Ending Monday, April 29th.
The weather has been much more
favorable, the temperature for the
State averaged about normal, and
while there was considerable rain, the
sunshine was about normal. The' tem
perature rose from the beginning of
the week to the 26th, which was the
warmest day, and then fell somewhat.
The highest temperature was 86 de
grees on ihe 26th in Madison county,
and the lowest was 32 degrees in
Burke county. Light frost was re
ported in only two places on the 25th.
The rainfall was considerably above
normal and most of the rain fell on
the 23rd and 27th. On the 23rd se
vere thunderstorms accompanied by
high winds were general : hail oe
currod in some localities, but only
slight damage was done. Southwest
of Chalybeate Springs at 4 p. m. of
the 23rd a destructive tornado oc?

inches in diameter at the stump werft
broken off in great quantities. The

Must Connect at Selma.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided in effect that the
railroad commissioners of North
Carolina can compel a railroad com
pany operating in that State to o
adjust its schedule as to accommo
date passengers on other lines from
any particular part of the State. The
opinion was delivered by " Justice
White in the case of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company vs.
the corporation commission of North
Carolina. The case arose out of an
order issued by the commissioners di
recting the railroad company to
make connection at Selma ,at 2:23 p.
m. with a train on another line run.-
liPnjr from the eastern part of the
State, with the object of accommo
dating passengers whose destination
was Raleigh. The railroad company
resisted the order on the ground that
it could not be complied with without
putting on a special train which
would involve extra expense. This,
it was contended, amounted to takin.i
property without due process of law.
The commission justified its course on
the ground that compliance with the
order was necessary to acommodate
a large part of the public. The Su
preme Court of North Carolina held
against the railroad company, and its
decision was affirmed by the action
of the Superme Court of the United
States on the ground that the order
of the commission does not affect the
rates but is a proper act of Stale
regulation..

GREAT SHOW OPENS
Jamestown Exposition Now in
Full Blast
PRESIDENT PRESSES BUTTON
The President Introduced by Presi
dent Tucker, of the Exposition
Company, Who Declared That the
Executive's Name Would go Down
in History os the Greatest Advo
cate of the Great Event.
Norfolk, Va., Special. President
Roosevelt, the diplomatic, naval and
military representative of 37 of Hie
nations of the world and the Govern
ors of a score of States participated
in the opening execises of the James
town Ter-centennial Exposition.
While the exposition, which is to re
main open until November 30th next,
is still far from complete, the un
finished condition of buildings and
grounds was not allowed to interfere
in any way with the celebration of
the three hundredth anniversary of
the first English settlement in Ameri
ca. From the firing of a salute of
100 guns by the United States army,
through the picturesque beauty of the
review of the international fleet of
war vessels anchored in Hampton
Roads, through the ceremonies of
dedication at which the President
spoke and down to a late hour when
the chief executive repaired aboard
the naval yacht Sylph to spend the
night in the lower bay, the day was
crowded with notable incident.
Not the least impressive of the
day's events was the quick action of
the President in assuming command
of the situation in front of the crowd
ed grandstand from which he spoke
when a panic seized the surging
throng of spectators. Pressed against
the guard ropes by thousands of eag
er persons in the rear of the gather
ing who were forcing their way for
ward, the safety of life and limb of
those who had the more favored posi
tions were endangered. President
Rosevelt had just been introduced by
Hairy St. George Tucker, the head of
the Jamestown Expositon Company,
when the disorder and unrest in the
crowd reached its height and the civil
guards in front of Vie grandstand
seemed about lo be swept irom their
posts. With the agilitv of a school
boy, the President jumped upon Ihe
table which had been placed in the
speaker's balcony and waving iiis
arms cried out to the men of Vir
ginia to live up to their traditions of
'alantry and cease the pushing and
rowding which was threatening the
lives of '.he women and children i)i
the aserablage, a throng which all but
liloeked the hu-1 grass-covered plaza
known as Leo's Parade.
The ceremonies of dedication were
brief, the features being the addresses
if President Tucker, of the Exposi
tion, and President Roosevelt. The
latter at the conclusion of his address,
iressed the gold button which formal
ly jerked the opening of the com
inemofative enterprise. Then follow
ed an informal luncheon 4o the Pres
ident and 40 other guests in the audi
'orium of administration building.
The repast ended the President re
paired again to the grand stand from
which he reviewed a parade of Unit
)d States soldiers and sailors. Sea
men from the visiting fleets were fx
nected to take part in the parade, but
tl difficulties of landing on the un
?ompleted grounds prevented. The pa
rade was quickly over and a reception
hy the President in the auditiorium
'irought the day's events at the fair
rrounds to a close.
Thfr-addresses of President Roose
celt and President Tucker of the
JamCstown Exposition Company were
!oth of a hiffh order and were atten
lively listened to by an immense
?rowd of people. The opening cere
monies were fully up to the highest
wpectations of those in attendance.
PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.
President Roosevelt, being intro
duced, delivered a strong and patriot
ic address to the immense throng
present. His speech was of too great
length to be given here in full. The
following, however, are some of h's
most striking thoughts.
" At the outset I wish to say a word
of special greeting to the representa
tives of the foreign governments here
present. Thy have come to assist ns
in celebrating what was in very truth
the birthday of this nation, for it
was here that ihe colonists first set
tled, whose incoming, whose growth
from their own loins and by the audi
tion-ot newcomers from abroad, was
to make the people which 100 years
later assumed the solemn responsibili
ties: and weighty duties of complete
independence.

"We have met today to celebrate
