It is doubtful if there is writ on the pages of latter-day his. tory a .story more romantic and marvelous than that which tells of "the advancing: South", the South that has grown so rapidly since the close of the War Be tween the States. Much has been, written of this wonderful epoch in a truly wonderful conn try bnt we doubt if it has ever . been done before quite so well or quite so attractively as by the World's Work, the June number of which is Southern from cover to cover, advertisements includ ed. Every phase of Southern life and work is dealt with and by men who are leaders in the South 's thought and action. The magazine is profcuely illus trated with cuts showing fac tories and farms, residences and roads, towns, cities and scene: of varied kinds. Some of the subjects treated are: "The Jamestown Exposi tion," "Nature's Gifts to the South," "The South 's Vast Re serves," " Railroad Enterprises of the South," "Immigration to the South," "The Rebound of the Upland South," "The Sonth's Intellectual Expression" "The Cotton Mills and the Peo ple," "A Journey Through the Southern States," the last men tioned by Mr. Walter H. Page, editor of World's Work, and others. The advertising pages contain attractively written and well il lustrated advertisements of man Southern cities and towns. North Carolina towns hi' space in its pages are Charlotte," Winston-Salem, High Point, Wilmington and Goldsboro. That this issue of World's Work will accomplish much lor this section of the United States by thus putting before the reading public the record of the marvel ous and rapid growth of the South cannot be doubted. It is a matter of interest to note, in passing, that the editor of this magazine, Mr. Walter H. Page is a North Carolinian. Array ! Oaternment' FUorea ; Outlines Eaormsns Strides ol a Century. A series of panoramic views of conditions in the United States from 1800 to the present time in arear, population, production, commerce, circulation, wealth. intercommunication, pubuca tion. and education are pre sented on the pages of the "Statistical Abstract of the United States," just issued by the bureau of statistics of the deDartment of commerce and labor. The pictures of growtn pre sented by these columns of figures show that, while area has grown from less than 1,000, 000 square mile in 1800 to 3.000.000 at the present time, and more than 3.500.000. If Alaska be included, or about 3.750.000 if we include the is lands, the population has grown from 5,000,000 to 85,000,000, and if all of that now under the Amercan flag be included, to early 100.000.000; while the population per square mile in continental United States has grown from 6 persons in 1800 to about eight in 1850, 25 in 1900, and nearly 28 at the pres ent time. Wealth, which in 1850 was set down at $7,000,000,000, is given at $107,000,000,000 in 1904, the latest year for which figures are available; and the per capita wealtn, which in 1&U was $307. was in 1904 $1,310. The pnblic debt, which in 1864 was $2,675,000,000, is now only $964,000,000. and the per capita indebtedness which in 1864 was $76.98 is now only $11.46; while the annual interest charge, which was then $4.12 per capita, is now only 28 cents per capita. The money in circula tion, which in 1800 was $26, 000.000, in 1850 $278,000,000, and in 1880 $973,000,000, was in 1906 $2,736,000,000; and the per capita circulation, which in 1800 was $5, and in 1850 $12, was in 1906 $32.32 Hank deposits, tor which no record is available earlier than in 1875. were in that year a trifle over $2,000,000,000. in 1900 $7,250,000,000, and in 1906 $12, 250,000,000. Imports of merchandise, which in 1800 amounted to $91,000. 000. were in 1906 $1,526,000,000; while exports, which in 1800 were $71,000,000, were in 1906 Veterans Reflect Olliceri-Cen yention at Richmond Adjourns .

Lieutentant General, Depart meiit Atmy of Northern Vir ginia. Gen. Irvine Walker. Lieutenant General, Depart ment of Tennessee, General Clement A. Evans. Lieutenant General. Trans- Mississippi Department, Gen. W. L. Cabell. All the officers were chosen by acclamation. Birmingham was chosen as the city for the next, the eigh teenth, annual reunion of the veterans. Other cities compet ing were oan Antonio and Nashville. The vote at first stood about 1,600 to 800 in favor of the Alabama town. The report of the committee on resolutions was adopted without debate. It recom mends that the speeches of Gen. S. D. Lee, Senator John W. Daniel and Col. R. E. Lee, Jr.. be printed in pamphlet form for distribution and endorses the ob jects and aims of the Arlington Confederate monument in Arlington National Cemetery On the correct representation of the Confederate battle flag the resolutions committee sub mitted as a substitute "that the action of this association, at its convention held in Nashville, Tenc, in 1904, he endorsed and reaffirmed." The report favors the preser vation of all papers, manuscripts and historical sketches of the Confederate States and recom mends the endowment of a Confederate hospital in the home formerly owned by "Stone wall" Jackson at Lexington, Va. It suggests the celebration of the one hundreth anniversary of the birth of Gen. R. E.

Miss Emma Lemmond has sued Mr. Henry Hirsch. who claims to have been married to her last Satur day by 'Squire VV. O. Bailes, of South Carolina, for a divorce. The case will be tried aeain at the June term of the Mecklenburg court. Outsiders will cut no ice in Lex ington says the board of aldermen of that town. They have stood by their decision that foreign ice shall be subject to a tax. Ice sold iv Lexington must be made of the city water. The town has an ice factory that delivers ice at 40 cents a hundred pounds and gives good service seven days in the week. HARMFUL STOMACH DOSING. The best physicians believe that the less medicine one swal lows the better. Do not try to cure catarrh of the head by dosing the stomach; this is neither common-sense nor scientific. Breathe Hyomei, and its medication will go right to the spot where the catarrhal germs are present and free the system from all catarrhal poisons. f JHv JCi"dy-!tXJohave TheSomfcraloag "with very other section tf the -country, stands under the indictment o: being commercial becoming a slave to the habit of looking only to the getting of money and the creating of great industrial en terprises. But with all this the spirit of sentiment is not dead. Abundant testimony of this fact was had all over the South land yesterday when in almost every city, town and hamlet of the South faithful bands of Confederate veterans and their sons and daughters laid aside for a while the strenuous work nf dollar-prttirifr to nav riomatre to that great man and leader.the late Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America. It was the anniver sary of his birth and the event was celebrated everywhere, with a deep feeling of reverence for this "peerless leader of a peer less people." In Gastonia the day was appropriately jkept with interesting exercises by the Daughters of the- Confederacy, who are doing so much to foster and keep alive the fires of patriotism and reverence for the heroes in gray, the gallant Con federate soldiers. . An Associated Press dispatch from Richmod. Vs.. nader date of May 31st says: -'Robert 'Ambler Bruce, 107 years old, died ia this city to-day. He wss bora at Westorer Hall.

In production and manufacture the picture of progress shows that cotton production, which in 1800 amounted to 155,556 bales, had by 1850 reached 2, 333.UUU; in 1875 375.UW in 1900, a little less than 10.- 000,000, and in 1906, 11,300,000 The sugar production, which amounted to less than 14.000 tons in 1825, 111,000 tons in 1850, and 270.000 tons in 1900, was in 1906 582,414 tons; beet sugar production, which began in the '70s, having grown from 446 tons in 1877 to 2,800 tons in 1890, 82,736 tons in 1900. and 300,317 tons in 1906. Meantime consumption .grew even more rapidly, the total number of tons of sugar con sumed having been w.blt in 18?2 and 2.864,013 in 1906. In the great manufacturing industries evidences of progress are equally apparent. The page devoted to this subject shows that the number of persons employed in manufacturing has grown from less than 1,000,000 in 1850 to 5,500,000 in 1905; the wages paid, from $237,000,000 in 1850 to $2,611,000,000 in 1905; and the value of products, from $1,000,000 in 1850 to $15,000,000.- 000 in 1905. Baseball Saturday. There will be baseball at the Loray ball park Saturday after- noon.The opposing teams will be Tnckaseege and Gastonia. Tnckaseege will have a team composed of the best players she can pick up in that neighbor hood and there is no doubt that a good game will be played. It is not known just yet who will twirl the ball for Tnckaseege, from the last reports they had not succeeded in getting the man they wanted to go against Gas tonia. However, a good game is expected and a good number of enthusiastic fans will be on hand. Persons will never know what a delicious breakfast food is until they have eaten i t E31 IX CILERY mattox. BESTOWAL OF THE CROSSES. The report reeommends the tabling of the request of the Daughters for a change of the rules governing the bestowal of the crosses of honor, so that they may be worn by the descendants of the recipients. It thanks Congress and the President for returning the captured battle flags and for ap propriating $200,000 to mark the graves ot lonteaerate soldiers buried in Northern soil. It like wise thanks the Twenty-third New Jersey Infantry for erecting a tablet at Salem church to the Alabama soldiers with whom it was engaged. The report urges that the Southern States give each Con federate soldier a testimonial o his record, and when the end comes, an appropriate burial; also that the division command ers shall constitute the executive committee of the association. It declares that the title of general shall be borne only by those who had that title during the war. It also recommends the tabling of the resolution passed by the "Daughters," and providing that no State sponsors and maids of honor be appointed. It likewise recommends the tab ling of the resolution regarding a monument to the women of the South and extends sympathy to the family of Mrs. McKinley? The report is signed by Joseph J. Johnson, of Alabama, chair man; John P. Hickman, of Ten nessee, secretary; B. W. Green, of Arkansas: S. E. Lewis, of District of Columbia; Albert A.
