(the president of the Panama-San
Francisco Exposition in San Francis
co, and this morning the Argus was
telephoned the following report: :
(Washington Story).
The President entered the room at
: 45 and immediately thereafter com
munication was established between
Washington and San Francisco. Pres-
ident Moore of San Francisco Exposi
tion was at the telephone at that end,
jthe wire was working splendidly, the
ponversation being distinct as between
Washington and Baltimore.
President Wilson in his conversa
tion with President Moore of the Pan
ama Exposition expressed his sincere
congratulations to the management
of the exposition and also to all who
were connected with that great under
taking. He spoke about his forth
coming visit to the coast and said he
hoped to give some time to the expo
sition proper. Mr. Moore in reply to
the President's conversation stated
that he was looking forward enthus
iastically to the visit of the President
and said "I think -you will be well
pleased with what4we have done." -

ings. 1 p m.
Immediately after tine celebration
Theo. N. Vail, president of the Bell
system made this statement:
; "At the Centennial Exposition -at
Philadelphia the exhibit of the Bell
system consisted of two telephones
capable of talking: from one part of a
room to another. Faint as the trans
mission speech then was it became!
at once the marvel af all the world,
causing scientists as well as laymen
to exclaim wi(h wonder. Starting
with these feeble instruments only
the Bell comipsrny, by persistent study,
incessant ex'p;rim entation, and expen
diture of Immense sums of money
created an e ntirely new art and in
venting, xiev-eloping, and perfecting,
making improvements great and small
and tsiepfione transmitters, lines,
carJies--f wi'-ch boards, and every other
piece. of a ;:aratus and plant required
for. il e tr :t - nission of speech.
"As lt 1: test product of this un-
ceas iff o rnized effort there has been
opened to lie service of the public
today a ; t-ans-continetal telephone
line 3,600 miles long, joining the At
lantic and Pacific and carrying the
human voice instantly and distinctly
'between San Francisco and New York
and Boston and Washington.
: "This telephone line is part of the
JBell System of twenty-one, million
;miles of wire connecting nine million
telephone stations located everywhere
'.throughout the United States and giv
ing to the American people telephone
.service unoarralled amons the naJtions

Bell Yes, your voice is perfectly-

38 years ago when we conversed
through the telephone on a real line
for the first time.
Watson Yes, indeed, that line VF83
two miles long running from Boston,
to Cambridge. You were overjoyed at.
;the success of the experiment.

ier of the Peoples Bank, to which we
gladly give Bpace in onr columns as
follows:
James.Kle, a local banker, of this
city, formerly of Wilmington, who has
been looking carefully into commer
cial and industrial conditions in the
southern states, was asked by your cor
respondent for a summary of the re
sult of his inquiries.
"While business conditions in the
southern states are not as favorable
as we would like to have them," said
Mr. Kyle, "I think the situation fully
as favorable to an early revival of
-prosperity as that in any other part
of the country.
Throughout the south,
the banking institutions are in sound
condition, and, although their mana
gers are generally pursuing careful
and conservative policies, sound busi
ness enterprises are generally able to
obtain all the credit needed. In the
United States as a whole, and espec
ially in the predominant industry.
Largely as a result of the decrease in
the purchasing power of the farmers,
retail trade in most southern com
munities is not very active. In those
localities where cotton mill employes
and other industrial workers are most
numerous, there has of course, been
more or less falling, off in retail busi- j
ness as a result of the industrial de
pression, j As in all other sections,
there is a tendency on the part of
retail dealers in all lines to buy very
conservatively and reduce their stocks
of goods. ,Thi3 necessarily has the ef
fect of curtailing the business of job
bers, who in turn are conservative in
their purchases from manufacturers,
and this, in turn, tends to accentuate
the industrial depression.
"The question of how soon a revival
may be expected to begin is one which
no man can answer with certainty, for
the reason tat some of '-the. - reasons
for the continuance of the business
depression are psychological. This
being true, one ot the most important
results to be brought about is the
creation of a constructive sentiment
based on faith in ourselves and in the
future. The few weak spots in our
banking system have been eliminated;
the natural resources of our country
have not been diminished, and the in
dustry and enterprise of the American
people are as great as ever before.
Under these circumstances, before, as
a result of the prolongation of exist
ing conditions, economic complications
arise, it is the duty of each one of
us to look to the future, rather than
to the past, and to contribute, to the
best of his ability, to the bringing
about of such a sound constructive
sentiment as will substantially aid in
a return to prosperity."
circuit we are talking over is really
6,800 miles long, as of course the earth
cannot be used for the return now as
we used it then.
Bell I want to switch in another
telephone and talk to you through
that. (Switches in the first telephone.)
I am talking through an exact .dupli
cate of the first telephone which was
made in June 1875. Can you hear me?
Watson I hear it perfectly, though
less distinct than the other, of course
(Now switching back to the standard
transmitter).
Bell What wonderful progress has
been made by the Bell system since
then to enable our voices to be trans
mitted over a circuit of 6,800 miles
without ; the least appearance of dis
tortion or weakness.
Watson Their work has been sup
erb and also has the discipline of the
organization that watches every inch
of this long circuit to safeguard these
ieeble vibrato-s f ;cti the many things
that might : ;te;'e:e with them. .

THE RAWEIS COMING
Presenting In Music, Song and Story
Most Unique and Fascinating Por
trayal of Native Life la tat
South Sea Islands.
"Those Leafy isles upon the
thrown.
Like studs of emerald o'er a flvat
zone."
New Zealand is the wonderland of
the South Seas. It is the land of re
mance, poetry and sentiment. It amaeea .
the visitor with its wealth of natural
curiosities and the endless variety ui
grandeur of its scenery. It is the home
of the Maori, the highest type of ear
age life inhabiting the islands of the
Pacific; a people who have been woa
derf ully quick to forsake their aborig
inal customs and superstitions and tt
themselves for the highest walks C
civilized life. The Rawei family are
native Maoris, and are handsome spec
imens of their race. In their pahlia
exhibitions they wear the queer hat
picturesque costumes of the native
islander. Mr. Rawei himself was bora
in the wilds of Northern New Zealand,
among the most savage people, wm
adopted by an English lady of wealth
when about twelve years old, given a
thorough education, and enabled to
graduate with high honors and the
degree of Master of Arts from Christ
Church University. -
The presentation of "From Savagery
to Culture" is so . cleverly and artis
tically done and is so full of the in
terest of novtdty and wonder, that it
compels the utmost enthusiasm. It
is captivating to the last degree, full
of delightful surprises that follow one
another in bewildering procession,
charming the eye and ear, provoking
outbursts of laughter, melting to tears,
enlisting the sympathies completely.
You are held under a spell of fasci
nation by the weird ballads, the love
songs, the canoe choruses, the war
chant-3 and incantations, the quaint
descriptions of the native customs and
the numerous beautiful pictures of
the marvelous island scenery. ,
Mr. Rawei, whose English i3 remark
ably corVect, has an unusual charm
of style, and possesses such a fund of
humorous and pathetic anecdotes that
when his audience is not holding it
breath with excited interest, it is gen
erally in a roar of laughter or bathed
in silent tears. His wife, Hine Taimoa,
has a rich contralto voice, and knows
how to use it. In fact, all these na
tives are accomplished singers. The
blending of the voices in the minor
ballads and chants is one of the most
touching and pleasing items of the
entertainment.
This is the third attraction of Golds-
boros Chautauqua course, and will be
with us on the evening of February
1st.
