It is inferred from the report that the committee think a lease of the road would be the best thing for it. but this does not need to by as in name, a World's Fair, for most all the world has been drawn together to help make the event both interesting and memorable. Every country of prominence on the globe is represented and the visitor gets a fair idea of the people of every nationality and the products of every land.

The writer left home on the 14th, his destination being this great World's Fair. Barring a tedious patience-taxing delay of six at Weldon, the journey was most agreeable and enjoyable. As far as Richmond our travel was t the Atlantic Coast Line. From i hat city to Cincinnati the trip was in some freight depository in the original packages as shipped. It would take columns to tell of all we saw at tho fair, and no at- tempt in that direction will be made. The Pike attractions also come in for their full share. They are nu- Some of course are poor, but many stand high in point of merit and are worth seeing. It is a great fair and be seen to be properly appreciated.

From Cincinnati on the route was over the Big Four, and a little less than forty-eight hours after leaving home the distance to St. Louis had been safely and pleasantly passed. The fair being the objective point, little time was lost in getting out there- After quartering at the Inside Inn, the largest hotel in the world, covering acres of land and of rooms, we were ready for sight seeing in earnest. It was Press week at the fair, and besides the thousands of editors there from all sections of the United States, thirty or more foreign tries were represented. The exposition is truly immense, so vast as to be at first bewildering, but with the use of some system and the aid of the electric cars, visiting the various portions of the grounds and various buildings is made easy. While there i a great deal to be seen, perhaps enough, yet the early visitor is impressed with its This is a fault, however of the exhibitors and not of the ex- position management. What most impressed us is this particular, even to bringing a feeling of shame, was that North Carolina is so far behind Butter Old. A stone jar of butter that had been buried for years was found the other day on a farm in Burt county, in north-eastern Nebraska. Forty-two years ago a family by the name of Decatur lived on the place, and one day in summer this jar was packed and placed in the spring. A few days later, when one of the family went to get the butter it was gone, and no search unearthed it. The Indians roamed the neighborhood, and the supposition that it had been filched by some of them. The lived and died, and the farm has changed hands several times since then. Two weeks ago a man was put at work excavating for an out building near the spring. At a considerable depth he encountered a stone jar. On being exposed to the air the jar crumbled to pieces and a four- pound roll of butter fell out. It was on the but yellow and sweet inside. The butter was brought to town, and neighborhood tradition soon that it was the selfsame roll put in the spring forty-two years ago. A member cf the De- family recalled the stance fully. An investigation of the spot dis- closed the fact that the bottom of the old spring was in quicksand, and it is supposed that the weight of the jar and its contents caused it to drop to a firmer bottom, where it was kept intact all these years. This is the oldest roll of butter in the world, and steps have been taken to preserve it for exhibition at the St. Louis Fair.- Charlotte Chronicle. worn-, chagrin and a real loss of en and self confidence. We are our own best advertise- and if we appear to in any particular our standard bl the estimate of others is cut down. The great majority of who come in contact with us do not see us at our homes.

They know nothing of us, unless it be by reputation, but what they see of our personality, and judge us accordingly.; They take it for granted that our, general appearance is a sample of what we arc and what we can do, and if we are slovenly in dress and in personal habits they naturally, think that our work and our lives will correspond.

A very important problem in the administration of our town govern- is the question of economy. Every taxpayer in the town of Greenville should, and doubtless does, feel a deep interest in the growth and development of our town. Especially is this true since the sale of the improvement bonds, and makes it certain that at an ear- date we are to have street water and lights. These improvements, while they mean the development and progress of our town, yet they mean large expenditures of money. It becomes a question of vital in- to every taxpayer that the government of the town should be administered with strict, substantial and business-like economy. We desire to call the attention of the taxpayers to a matter wherein at least can be saved in the ad- ministration of the town govern- and yet in no wise impair the efficiency of the administration. The matter to which we desire to call the attention of the citizens of Green- ville is the item of salary paid to the Town Treasurer and Tax Collector. The amount of taxes collected by the Tax Collector and by him turned over to the Town Treasurer is proximately The Tax Collector for his sen-ices receives five per cent. The Town Treasurer for his sen-ices receives two and one-half per cent, on receipts and two and one-half per cent, on dis- Thus we are paying per year to the tax collector and a year to the town treas- making an aggregate of per year the citizens of the town are paying merely to have the town taxes collected in and paid out. We heartily commend the of each one of the present officials. They are good officers and are U be commended for their efficient work, yet these same officials would gladly perform the duties of tho office for a much smaller consideration than is now paid them. The duties and labor connected with the treasurer's office are exceedingly light; being merely to receive the money from the tax collector, and pay it out by order of the board of aldermen. The duties of the tax collector are more laborious, yet are such that a much smaller compensation than that now paid would suffice. There are quite a number of of the town, thoroughly com- business men who would willingly accept the office of treas- and thoroughly and perform all the duties attached thereto for per year. There are also quite a number of thorough- competent business men who would accept and perform the of tax collector for per year. Thus all the duties connect- ed with the two officers can be thoroughly and executed for per year, for which we are paying the enormous sum of per year and by so doing save to the tax payers of the town of in the of two offices alone. There are one or two other items in the administration of the town government; wherein an additional saving of one to two hundred can made. These are important questions to the taxpayers of the town of Green- ville, and while we have no coin- plaint to make in regard to the present administration, yet should add to the and efficiency of our Board of Alder, men, and no doubt they will make such changes as will be and beneficial to the people at large.
