There is a considerable squab-
ble now going on between the
South Carolina markets, and the
Danville Va., markets, or rather
by the newspapers of these
places. The Florence,South Car-
olina, Messenger has some very
hard things to say about the Dan-
ville warebousemen- It makes
some allegations aboat the Dan-
ville people that we donTt believe
are true, and the Danville Journal
retorts back in very plain lan-
guage to the South Carolina ed-
itors. All of this kind of staff will
not aid the South Carolina mar-
kets at all in building themselves
up nor does Danville in oar opin-
ion need such notoriety and, the
Journal need not remind the
worid that Danville is the largest
obacco centrein it. The peo-
ple already know it.
We have been to the Atlanta
.|Exposition and have retarned all
safe and sound. Aside from the

ashamed that North Carolina has

setting machines and printing
presses caught the eyes of the
newspaper folks.
The next building 1s the Mia-
eral and Foresty. This is a rus-
fic structure the outside covered
with sections of mamy varieties
of trees just us cut from the Geor-
gia forests. Within is a vast
collection of minerals and woods
from various States. Here North
Carolina is well represented, her
display of minerals being the
best in the building. The bege
gold nuggets attract the atrentron
of every one.
Then on around the south-west-
ern 6nd of lake Clara Meer the
Agricultural building is reached.
Here the States vie with each
other in showing products of the
soil and orchard. This building
alone is worth a trip to Atlanta
tosee. A striking feature of it
is the display made by the Sea-
board Air Line of the resources
along ite road.
This completes the list of build-
ings containing general exhibits,
bat there is vet one other large
structure situated juat to the right
of the Georgia building and main
entrance. Thisis the auditoram
with s seating capacity reaching
the theusands. In this concerts
and public meetings are held.

for a State display. True the
State is fairly well represented
and has some creditable exhibits
there, butthey are mainly the
Gutcame of private enterprise
and are so scattered through the
different buildings as to almost
lowe their effect. In the Sea-
board Air Line exhibit North
Caroling was largely drawn upon,
but thet road receives and
is entitled to the credit for this.
In the same building, Agri-
cultugal, the Ro JZ Reynolds
Tobacco Co., of Winston, makes
an exhibit that is highly credita"
ble to that epterprising firm. In
the Manufacturers and Liberal
Arts building, Belmont School
has asplendid exhibit. [n the
Transportation building Tysen &
Jones, of Carthage, have a fine
display of buggies and earriages,
and there are siso some other ex-
hibits scattered here and there, all
of which had they been collected
together in a State building would
have done the Old North State
creait and honor.

A little girl of this vicinity was
cured of a rattle snake bite re
cently, by the use of a strong de-
coction of white ash ~eaves, taken
internally, and also applied to the
wound. The decoction was not}
used until the day after she was
bitten. Had it been used immedi
ately after receiving the bite, there
would probavly have been no
swelling at all.
There is a species of black snake
not poisonous, which always
tights the rattle snake when he
meets him, and always kilis him.
But in the encounter, he general!-
ly receives many wounds from the
fangs of his poisonous antago-'
uist. These he cures by chewing
white ash leaves and supplying
his saliva, charged with the pul-
py Juise as a sort of liniment.

gested the remedy to man. .

Of course all ladies help their

H. B. CLARK.
You will find that a dollar wii]
buy more at my store than a dol-
lar ever bought before. This a
broad statement, but itis true.
The only way to account for this
lowness in prices is the fact that
@ little profit is all LIexpect. To
simply say my line of dress goods
are pretty is not doing them jus"
tice, they are more than .pretty,
dainty and senrible novelties that
combine style and wear and sat-"
isfaction. My line CLOTHING

the nicest and cheapest ever
brought to this town. DonTt for-

F. W. Busey, in charge of ad-
vertising car No. 2 of Sells BrosT
circus, arrived here with Thurs-
day evening train to have new
bils put up and distributed. Like
all the others connected with
SellsT circas, we found Mr. Busey
an exceedingly clever and pleas-
ant gentleman. He says the circus
willbe here in splendid shape
next Friday and will give our peo-
ple a great day- We have talked
with a number of traveling men
who have recently seen SellsT cir-
cus and they ali say it is the best
on the the road.
