teacher i the exposition and north caroli na n o times democrat as one of the visible results of the world's fair at new orleans there i are to-day several million americans ! from every part of the united states and foreigners representing all corners of civilization who are convinced that north carolina one of the chief and ; most progressive states of the new south is a commonwealth possessed of an imperial aray of resources agricul tural mineral marine and industrial such as few regions of like area can equal anywhere on the earth's surface i prior to the splendid presentment of '. the state's wealth and possiblities con ! tained in its official exhibit the same millions probably had little idea of north carolina beyond the fact that it enjoyed the rather deteriorating psendonym of the tarheel state 1 made a good deal of turpentin and resin and was supposed to deal in fish and oysters to some extent beyond this ; tom moore's lines in his poem of the dismal swamp were perhaps taken to indicate the physical condition of the country surely the visitor to the north carolina exhibit would have hard work to recoucile the regal display of products from great fisheries fertile fields mines of gold silver and precious stones forests busy looms spindles potteries mills and furnaces with a section wherein the traveler would be compelled to journey through tangled beds of juniper weeds and many a fen where the serpent feeds and man never trod before the north carolina exhibit involves at once a revelation to the world and a revolution to the state both were needed to put one of the richest and brightest of our sisters in the front rank of new southern progress and they have come the outside world has learned practically that fortune await the skilled adventurer in almost any department of industry while at the same time the people of the old xorth state have absorbed the equall important lesson that to sell goods suc cessfully one must advertise them lib erally and intelligently of this latter fact there is probably a better appreci ation in north carolina than in most other states and the money needed to present and represent the state at the exposition has not been grudged what has been accomplished by these means has become already apparent at home the more than able embassy of live vonng southern men in charge of north carolina's agricultural industrial and scientific legation at the fair are re ported is receiving many encomiums and honors from their people this is right and just for they have done their work thoroughly and well and deserve the success that appears to crown their efforts between jan 1 and march 31 of the present year over 750,000 were added to the industrial capital of north caro lina and the greater part of this sum is believed to be directly traceable to the state's exhibition policy much of the money is said to come from sources until lately uninformed regarding the state or its resources among the new enterprises establish 200,000 has been devoted to opening a rich copper mine in the western part of the state a company for the manufacture of com mercial fertilizers from native rocks — hardly known until the opening of the exposition — has been started machine shops tobacco factories lumber flour and cotton mills and a variety of less notable enterprises complete the list as in the cases of other southern states the mining industry of north carolina is receiving a remarkable impetus from the exposition the world has never before realized that while americans have been crossing a continent upon a slim chance of a hunt for the precious metals the same were lying idly in a hundred well ascertained localities in the south and only waiting for skill and capital to utilize them and in north craolina the temptation to seek gold and silver is intensified by the fur ther knowledge that rare gems includ ing diamonds of value are being found and in some cases systematiclly mined much gold has been taken from north carolina mines but the aggregate is as ' nothing to the future production when the known auriferous localities shall have been thoroughly prospected by the practical miners and scientists who have i at last taken fire on the subject and ! are constantly going into the state on i axploring tours a great deal more could be said con | cerning the opportunities for invest ! inent and settlement offered by north i carolina and illustrated in her wonder ful exhibit her mountains of iron ore are richer than those of possibly any other state and with transportation facilities not long to be deferred the development of her magnetic and cran ; berry ores alone should create an im mense wealth and state industry ave i cannot here speak of all these things in 1 detail and only refer to them aenerally [ because the splendid and brilliantly suc cessful movement of north carolina to compel the attention and consideration of the world through her past and pre sent exhibits is worthy of honor and imitation by all southern communities and because the happy results that have crowned the vigorous advertising policy of the state are proofs of the good cer tain to be everywhere derived from en terprises like the great exposition at new orleans it may be said with con fidence that our fair has had no stron ger friends than the government and people of north catolina and that in case it is decided to re-open next autumn we may count upon their hearty and energetic co-operation —■«,.— going to europe an immense shipment of western north carolina lumber to european markets poplar plank 40 inches wide and 16 feet long sending to north carolina for the finest lum ber in the world a shipment of 223 car loads of lum ber from western north carolina is now passing through this city for the seaport of wilmington whence it will be conveyed in vessels to europe the fact that speculators in europe find it profitable to pay the transportation charges of this lumber over such a great distance by land and sea is sufficient proof as to the value of the lumber it self the lumber is shipped from al exander's in buncombe county and comes to charlotte in western north carolina cars and here it is transferred to the cars of the carolina central road and carried on to wilmington where it is transferred on board ship the ship ment is an immense one as a little thought will show the work of trans porting the lumber from alexander's to wilmington was begun on thursday of last week and the shipments have averaged about eight car loads per day yesterday there were ten car loads each car is loaded to its fullest capaci ty and curries 30.000 pounds of lumber this lumber which is going to eu rope is said to be the finest in the world and great care is taken in its shipment to prevent the lumber from being in jured by rain it is carried in box cars as much care being taken with it as if it was so much dry goods every plank in this shipment is of poplar and is stacked with great regularity in the cars each car being filled from floor to roof leaving a small aisle in the centre of the car for the loading and unload ing force to work in each plank is carefully inspected by the railroad hands and a correct account is kept of all that are split or otherwise damaged the transfer of the lumber at char lotte is a tedious piece of work and an observer reporter was yesterday af forded a good opportunity to inspect some of the europe bound wealth of north carolina forest several lumber dealers were grouped around the cars admiring what they pronounced some of the most beautiful kvmber they had ever seen the squarely cut poplar planks were well seasoned dry and light and were perfect being sound and with out knots the planks varied in length from 10 to is feet and were from l to 3 inches thick they were in vari ous widths and through the aid of a foot rule it was found that the narrow est plank was 24 inches wide and the broadest was 40 inches wide of the whole amount of lumber in the ten car loads about one-fourth of it was of the 10 foot long and 40 inch wide measure ment to saw out plank of these di mensions must have required tremend ous saw stocks and the trees from which they come must indeed be giants of the forest the beauty of this lum ber consists not only in its size but in its clearness and perfection the eu ropean buyers are authority for the statemant that no country in the world can produce lumber superior to the shipment that is now being made to | them this is the most forcible illus j tration of the value of the timber lands | of our state that has yet been known | and this introduction into the european j markets of north carolina lumber is i something for our people to rejoice over

if women dressed solely to please mea they would spend precious little money on their raiment for 50 would go as far as 250 goes now no the truth is that one of the chief incentives to dress among women is the desire to create envy in the breast of her fellow { women this passion varies in women but few are without it it is as natural in the sex as the horror of rats — as the dread of horned cattle it furnishes the sweetest joy in life and gives the wildest field for ingenuity and originali ty that it is the ruling passion in the female breast when on dress parade any observer of the state-street show on'a pleasant afternoon will readily see in the glances which are bestowed on striking costumes and the evidences of the breaking of commandments against covetousness which abound on every hand if it were not for this feeling woman's dress would not be the expen sive luxury it is today to husbands and fathers iiemove this desire to outshine ; other women and you would take the !

made up my mind to expose it to the world i asked a col ored man if there was any objection to a man picking an orange and he said he reckoned not so 1 reached up ami got hold of one ami picked it i j

pretty decent sort of mouth to stub j around home with a plain every day sort of a iwle with tcetii and tongue and lip when 1 took that piece of orange in ye gods the orange was as much sourer than

bridge near lynch burg sometime during the summer of 1884 there was a philadelphian on board who went down with the train and took his chances along with the other passengers the philadelphian escaped without a scartch but lost his valise after the lapse of nearly a year this philadelphi an concluded to have damages for the ; loss of his satchel and wrote to an at ! torney of the virginia midland road that if the company would pay him s22 for the valise he would let the matter drop capt chas m blackford of lynchburg was the attorney addressed and he wrote to the railroad authorities to send the man a check for the amount but before the matter could be attended to he received a second letter from the same party stating that he had a se vere pain in his body and feared that he was permanently injured and de manded 1,500 before this letter could be answered a second communication was received offering to compromise at 83.200 and before any reply could be made to this proposition
