It is difficult to bo always true to ourselves, to be always what we wish to be, what we reel wo ought to be. As long as wo feel that, as long as wo do not surrender tho ideal of our life, all 1b right. Our aspirations repre sent the true nature of our soul more than our every day life. Max. Mutier. War!

HEW JOB FRUITING ROOMS* With- pardonable pride, wo trust, we wish to speak of the splendid new quarters of The Intelligenoer Job printing plant. This department has been; conducted in the upstairs of the bulddlng occupied by the newspaper, but on account of the great growth of this* department more commodious quarters were needed. The new Wat son-Vandlvor building, which la about complot od, fuVnlsbed the means of setting more room, and the entire store ne>t door to the newspaper of fice has been leased, and. is now occu pied by our job printing department The : past week has) been a busy one for tlil? department moving ami get ting to rightH. This has been almost completed and now we take pleasure in announcing that we are better pre pared to take care of the wants of the public along ihm line than ever be fore. The ground floor of the building bus been given over to the offices, com posing room ami presses. These are carefully placed with a view to nee tir ing Mm greatest elllclency, with the least "lost motion." Euch job press ?8 equipped with new individual mot ors capable of great range of speed. The Bceolml floor Is equipped lor stock room, ruling and bindery department. Here the finishing touches lire given each Job of printing, ami the delivery is made from this floor. The job printing department of The Intelligencer is us well equipped as any in upper Carolina, ami in charge of as competent a force of workmen, all experts and skilled in their several departments. Manager T. K. Hoper is too well known to our readers to re quire an introduction. Beginning a few yeurs ago lie organized and built up the Hoper Printing company, which became known for the high class of work turned out. The ?tune pains taking enre is followed still by Mr. Roper and eyer;* member of the force. Those engaged In the Job depart ment of The Intelligencer are: Mana ger T. K. Roper, A. A. Kessler. L. l>. Thomm?, J. P Hamil, Henry Plckard, Arthur Haynle, C. B. Fant, Louie Fant and Roily Hopkins. The latter Is per haps better known than any of the members, for the reason that he comes in contact with the public as delivery boy. and running errands. No more faithful worker exists than Roily and he cannot help it it his hair is carmine. come in and see this department or any other of our plant. It will be in teresting to those who are not famil iar with printing plants. THE FIELD FOR THE SOUTH. Some time ago Mr. J. B. Duke pro posed a plan for cotton warehouses in the south. We have heard that his proposal was allowed to languish be cause of the illness of the New York financier associated with Mr. Duke. It seems that now is the timo to re vive that project and to revive it in a hurry. One feature ot it would be crippled during the foreign war, for it was proposed to have tho cotton certifi cates accepted abroad just as cur rency, but in these times nothing but gold will do. However, there are oth er features of the warehouse plan which would be a great blessing if put into effect at once. The south just at this' time needs a man such as Mr. Duko to take charge of the selling of our southern made textiles and famrics. He has the means and the ability to organize a force of salesmen that would cause southern textile to supplant Gorman and English in South American states. The United States, thanks to Mr. Wilson and Secretary Bryan, is in very friendly relations now with South American states, aud our man ufactured products should easily find a reception there which would estab lish our trade for all time. It does seem that the south could grow and manufacture and ship cot ton cheaper than it could be done through Europe as a middle man. One handicap has been the lack of mer chant marine. Why could not a man like Mr. Duko organize a company and lease or purchase merchant ves sels now lying idle In the ports of other countries?and some flying for eign QagB are lying idle in the ports of the United States dodging the hos tile warships riding all the seas of the world? This Is a big undertaking but will make tho south rich, independent and' powerful, and the man who heads the proposition will become the greatest man in American commerce. Mr. Duke has turned loose a lot of money in the south that he has gath ered from the four corners ot" the earth, whither he has carried Ameri can made cigarettes and smoking and chewing tobacco. No doubt he could be Interested In this proposition, for it is no philanthropy, but u Kigali. Ic commercial enterprise, such as he likes to undertake. There may be others who could put the proposition through, but we mention Mr. Duke be cause he has the meanB, he has the vision, and he Is yet young and vig orous. ... Another reason we suggest Mr. Duke as the proper man to undertake this Is . because he has already. suc ceeded so brilliantly In pushing his own goods in China. About five years ago, when the Boxer uprising in China had been put down and it had become possible/for Americans to go into China, Mr. Duke put a force of salesmen to.work there and they, through our moderuu bus iness methods, have caused Ameri can made goods to ljave a tremendous vogue in Cathay. The Gleamed of Richest Countt Editorial, Ncward The bliie.grasH aspect of uffairs in lin- United Kitties, which has been k< conspicuous und ho ill-founded, llu^ been bused on a microscopic exami nai ion of particular material condi tion* rutber than on a long range telescopic view of the .-.itnation, il lucked perspective. It didn't even have tiie advantage of middle dis lancement. A fly would bave n very erroneous idea ot the lay of the laud If it were peering down into a sandpit. Hut un Intelligent man in a balloon with a good field glass could form an opin ion worth hearing. Recent pessimism has been the re sult of observations of the fly va riety, and if real corroboratlon ol Ibis were needed, it could be found in a world.wide comparison of the na tional progress in the accumulation of wealth during the last hundred years, together with enforced infer ences us to the possibilities of the marvelous plant for production of 'wealth and prosperity found in Amer ica and the Am' rican people. In this instance it i? of value to gc away from home and get the testi mony of the man In a balloon whe has followed our country's career and a score of years, will be lost sight of. What this means may be inferred when it is pointed out that the accu mulations of the American people are greater than those of any other nation; that the wealth of the coun try is growing at the rate of about $7,000,000,000 a year, in season und out, over u series of years, irrespec tive of bad times, so-called, and pe riods of expansion. No other nation lias such a record as to gross wealth, and with exist'ug conditions none other is likely in the course of the present century to rival It. Within one hundred years the wealth of the 1'nited States has grown from about $1,7."?0,000 to nearly ?iTnnnitmuiaA|i CUT i**CG*I?Cn < -..,., half a billion to Sil?.OOO.OOO.OOO, and tb- population from 8,000.000 to the American Tobacco company have probably learned more of Chinese commerce, customs and conditions than all the missionaries who have been going there for 50 years. We all know the breezy, winning ways of the "drummer." It would be so in South America if the textile manufacturers of the south should engage some man of the same business capacity and militant spirit to organize an agency force to Invade South Americu and put Ameri can fabrics on the counters instead of the "made In Oermany" kind. REASSURING NEWS SENT FROM JAPAN Japanese Want Peace in Orient, Only Fulfilling Treaty Obli gations (By Associated Pn-ss.) New York, August 15 ?Cable dis patches from Tokio to the East and We Ht News Bureau, a Japanese news agency, read: "A high official of the foreign office says: "Japan has received no note what ever from the American government in connection with the present crisis. Even in case a necessity arises arises for Japan to take upon herself the duty of discharging her treaty obliga tions to Great Britain, Japan sees nn need ot any explanation for such an action, for she shall act with a clear conscience in conformity to justice. Wo are confident the Uulted States understands full well this position of Japan and, consequently, Me cannot think for a moment that our good neighbor, America, shall be swayed by any uneasiness by the attitude of Ja pan." Count Okuma, Japan's premier, de clared : "Japan, if forced to join the Euro pean conflict, will do so with the sin? gla purpose of fulfilling her treaty obligation to her ally, and of uphold ing the cause of Justice. Her object Ib the maintenance of peace In tho Ori ent. -. vy.q "Japan's proximity to China breeds absurd rumors but I declare that Ja pan acts with a clear conscience, in conformity to justice and In perfect nOcc~u with her ally. Japan has no territorial ambition but hopes to stand as the protector of peace in the Ori ent. "This frank declaration of Japan will surely be welcomed by China with appreciation ^nd thanks." INCITING THE POLES. Germans Trying to Enlist the Syro. put h les of roles. (By Associated Press.) London, Aug. 16.?2 a- m.?A St Petersburg dispatch to .The Lloyd News says a newspaper correspondent who has just arrived from Warsaw reports that city quiet.up to the tlmo ho left He says a lively campaign is being waged by German sympathizers along the border for the support ol the Poles. A. Polish newspaper, printed under German supervision at Ctestochowa, Is publishing account, a of German successes. In Its latest Issue it is re ported that Sweden and Japan bad declared war on Russie. A proclamation also has been pub lished, the ?correspondent adds, urg. ing Poles to support the Germans. y in the World Evening Newa. about 08.000,000. Any one may work out I lie extraordinary percentage of increase lioru indicated. Like statistics fur fireat Uriluin allow a growth of wealth from $12, j 5110,000,000 to $K5,oou.000,000 and of income from $1.500,000.000 to $12, 000,000,000. in France the ligures show a gain in wealth from $10,000, 000,000 to $.".0,000,000.000, and of in eom Horn $1.250,000,000 to $0,000. 000,000. _ One hundred years ago Germany's j wealth Jerinany theii consisted of la lot of little states and principalities knows now to estimate its signifi cance. The editor of the London Stat ist has gone over the world statistics of wealth for the past hundred v?ars, and points out for the benefit of those who see only depression or re strained prosperity, tliat these United Stator bave outrun the world and are still busy. That there can be any holding back of such unrivaled potentiality for progress in the production of wealth as It found here, especially in com parison with other countries and peo ple:', he says, is unthinkable. What may have proved a temporary set buck is but an incident, an excep tional variation of a rule which, when taken in connection with a decade or ?was probably less than that of France, but today it is placed at nearly $X0.OOO.00?.0O(). with an in come of $10,000,000,000. Thus, as a new country, by compar ison, the United States has an an nual income reported to be greater than that of Great Britain, Germany and France, combined, with an accu mulated wealth far in excess of uny other land, (liven the personal equa tion, the progresslveness of the Anicr ichan charter, the enterprise and dominating quality, it would hardly seem that any moderate downward dip in the curve of naiionai progress as to production and prosperity could call for more than cursory comment. ;: Reunions:: Mitchell Reunion.
