There Is Just now a great deal of tntAre&t In North Carolina In the middle west, where there are not on ly thousands of former North Caro linians, who have never forgotten their mother State, but great num bers of other people who are for the first time learning something about this State and Its possibilities. In nearly every community In North Carolina there are people who have relatives In the West who would like to visit this State. They now have an excellent opportunity to inform these ex-North Carolinians that they can avail themselves of very low rates from Ohio, Illinois and Indi ana, on the 4th to the 28th of Oc tober to come to. Raleigh, to attend the Home-Coming Jubilee and Re union during the Seml-Centennial State Fair, October 17 to 22, the tick ets being good for twenty-five days, eo there is opportunjty also to visit any part of the State. The tickets are known as "home- seekers tickets," and to show their cheapness it may be stated that the fare from Cincinnati to Raleigh and return is only $16.30; children un der 12 years of age being given half fare. It would be well for people In this section to write their relatives and friends in the West about this opportunity, and urge them to bring some new people to look at this fair State of North Carolina, the Land of Opportunity. Can't Do Very Much Harm. Greensboro Record. Representative McKinley, of Cali fornia, a Cannonite, whom the voters of his district have decided they can better do without, is engaged by the Republican Congressional commit tee to stump Virginia, North Caroli na and Tennessee; probably on the theory ttiat he can't do very m'uch harm in those States. The Syrian mission press at Beirut prints the Bible in Arabic for 60,000,000 of people who speak that tongue. married men are taking an interest. Much benefit may be derived from leisure time spent In this way. It is commendable, especially to mill hands any where. A supply of good new wood Is on the yard at this place now. The yards were cleaned off during the summer and a new supply put in since. All hands here may expect good wood the coming winter. Farmers are beginning to pick their cotton. The gins and oil mills may expect some work soon and it is hoped that a supply of cotton seed hulls will be on the market, soon at a reasonable price, to supply the de mand for cow feed. Some little changing of hands has taken place here. Mr. Bruner Bar ker, formerly of this place, has ac cepted a position with tbe Gray Man ufacturing Co. as second hand in spinning. Mr. Marshall Rhyne has moved here from the Loray. Mr. Lester Conard has moved to the Lo ray from the Arlington. Mr.Ot Con ard has again accepted a position with Mr. George Gamble, the gro- cerman, at the Arlington. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. William Heavner last week. Mrs. Belve C. Black 'and sister, Mrs. Carrie Sutter, will visit their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sanders, near Monroe, during the next week. Mr. William Eason and family, have re turned from Hamer, S. C, where he has been employed for some time in cotton mill work. The mill at which he was employed shut down and he came back to spend awhile with his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel L. Wenti, at this place. Mr. Eason has accepted a position as card room overseer with one of the mills at Dallas where he will take charge of his work soon. Thirteen dollars made from one chicken. This Is as stated by Mr. Robert L. Lambert at this place. From one silver-winged Wyandotte hen he sold eggs to the amount of $5, also nine chickens for $4. SO and has seven chickens left worth fifty cents each. Much more than this can be mads by the proper interest Would It not be worth while for some others to try the poultry yard for making moneyf There is al ways a demand for eggs and chick ens. SENATOR GORE SPEAKS. Blind Senator from Oklahoma Ad dreMM Large Audience at Char lotte A Brilliant Effort by Noted Statesman Opens Campaign la Mecklenburg. Tbe Democratic campaign In Meek lenburg county was opened most au spiciously Wednesday night when Hon. Thomas P. Gore, the blind Senator from Oklahoma, addressed a large audience of voters at the Academy of Music. The Chronicle says that it was one of the most brilliant political speeches that Mecklenburg Democracy has to this glad day had the pleasure of listen ing to. In the audience were a large number of ladles and citizens of many adjoining counties were on hand. Senator Gore was Introduced by Mr. C. W. Tillett, of the Charlotte bar. He launched out into a strong logical address in which he devot ed much time to a severe arraign ment of the Republican party for its dishonest tariff legislation. Space forbids any detailed mention of the Senator's address but suffice it to say that it was one of the most masterly efforts ever heard in the State and will undoubtedly result in much good to the Democratic party in North Carolina. MONUMENT DAY. Our Confederate Women to be Hon ored. A day in the Fall, to be selected later, will be set apart to enable ev ery male resident of this State, men and boys to contribute much or little as their ability may allow or their hearts dictate to the erec tion of a State Monument to the Women of the Confederacy. This high duty has been too long delayed. Let the people by their generosity, and from the means these women made it possible for them to accu mulate, make amends for such un fortunate delay, by the more liberal contribution. Let the year 1910 close with the surety that honor will be paid to these heroines. Let the world know that the men of this State appreciate these women's de votion to "a cause they loved so well." A most appropriate and handsome Souvenir Tag will be given, as an evidence that the donor has contrib uted to preserve the memories of a Womanhood of whom be is proud and to whom he owes an eternal debt of gratitude. The good women, the charming girls and pretty misses,, daughters and granddaughters of these women, who deem it a privi lege to aid in honoring their moth ers and grandmothers, will under take the distribution of these Souv enir Tags. God save the mere man who fails to infmediately surrender to their charm and to their presenta tion of his duty. Even those who do not sympathize with the late Confederacy, living in this State under the present pros perity these women have made pos sible, will honor themselves in hon oring a grand womanhood, whose noble devotion to what they loved entitles them to all respect. Their memories should be preserved for the emulation of all who strive to do their duty as their conscience dic tate. What the people of the States of the late Confederacy owe these wo men, not only for their inspiration to the soldiers, not only for their maintenance of the homes, not only for their loving care of the sick and of the wounded, not only for their care of the graves of the dead, not only for their preservation of the memories of their heroes, but for their devotion, their fortitude, their aid since the death of the Confeder acy, which animated and encouraged the men In their stupendous effort' to rescue their Stats from the very slough of despondency and to' re build its shattered fortunes; is all too well known and felt to make it necessary to orgs their claims. -Men! Boys! You know your duty.' Do K! And show by your liberality that you fully appreciate all that these wo men have done for your State and for you. Women sailors are employed in Denmark, Norway and Tinland, and are often found to' be excellent, mari ners.. In Denmark several are employed as Stats officials at sea, and particularly In the allot service. SOCIAL.

In the defeat of Representative Taw ney, or Minnesota,, the regulars lose a strong arm In the House.

As chairman of the committee on appro priations, he had charge of the dis position of a hundred million of dol lars annually, which gave him great power. Friends of conservation were In tensely bitter against Tawney. He abolished Roosevelt's conservation commission and interfered with the conservation movement.
