People who ordinarily do not go into ecstacies over anything and would hardly let up on work to walk to the window and see Barnum Bailey's parade stood or leaned on the window sill ol their offices during the hour that it took the parade to pass.

It may have been because most of them had children the but it is certain nothing has happened in the city in years There Has Been a Jump of Nearly 100 per cent in Many Products and Miik Business Has Lagged Behind in Upward Trend of Prices. The price of milk in Charlotte Is UNITED STATE ENVOY; HftRBOR IP VERA CRUZ likely to take a jump of 25 per cent soon, this increase being attributed to the increased cost of feed stuffs and the nearly 100 per cent increase in the Aun KunTUCR uift'n QUiPcruTTiiMryiim cost of milk or dairy cows.

That is sufficient to warrant Mrs. M.

E. Smith Beloved Woman of City Passes Mrs. Margaret Emeline Smith, died this morning at 1:15 o'clock at tlie residence of her son, Mr. Frank Brandon Smith, 610 Elizabeth avo uue. Mrs.

Smith had not been well for three or four weeks but was not acutely ill until two days ago. The end came suddenly but beautifully. Mrs. Smith would have been 6fc years of age January next. She was born in Rowan county four miles west cf Mooresville.

She was a daughter of the late Frank Jamison, one or the prominent men of that section ot Rowan county, his family being one of the best and most influential in this section of the state. Her mother died when she was an infant. Mrs. Smith was reared at the old home. She married Mr.

George L. Smith, ot Iredell county, and lived in that county until two years ago when she came to Charlotte. To them were born four sons and a daughter: Mr. T. B.

Smith. Mooresville; Rev. N. E-Smith, Bartow, Messrs. D.

C. and F. Brandon Smith, of Charlotte and Mrs. M. P.

Bell, of Davidsoa, Deceased was a first cousin of M. John F. Jamiison, of this city, their fathers owning adjoining plantations. Adhering to the faith of her people, old Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, she was a member of that churcn, flnH a devoted one. Her memhprshin pointed out that practically everything that is required in the dairy business has undergone an advance of from 75 to 100 per cent, and while meat, flour, meal and nearly every other produce necessary to the dinner table has advanced, milk, it is pointed out, is at the same figure at which it stood six to ten years ago.

This is the position taken by local dairymen who have been interviewed on the subject. No Fight On Ordinance. "The impression has gone out," said a leading dairyman of the city this morning, "that the dairymen of Charlotte are talking about an increase of that excited so much enthusiasm. Prof. William McClusky, superintendent of county schools, and Miss Mary Graham, assistant, with whom the idea of the parade originated, were the recipients of many congratulatory remarks and were urgrd to take steps to make it an annual affair.

In that case the parade will be even greater than it was yesterday, for the reason that many schools ot the county did not have their full representation in line. It is thought likely that the plan for next year will be to have the parade on the opening day of the county fair, in order that the children may have "an opportunity to enjoy the parade ana attende the fair the same day. The parade and the country lire conference following at the auditorium were the culminating features of the series of five country life conferences, or conferences for the common good, that have been held in the county this week, at Mint HUI, Dixie, Huntersville and Pineville. The conferences were well attended by the people in the vicinity in which they were held and were a starter, it is believed, for an awakening along several lines of educational work in the county and in the state. Buncombe county had already bad a similar series of conferences and it nnm mtui iilii nm uini ulisi iuiiiluuu i 1 zsf ft i-ne arrest, arraignment and trial of if he may be found vMtdn the state wherein the indict- prices because of the fact that the board of aldermen and the milk commission are considering the passage of a comprehensive milk ordinance governing the preparation and selling of milk on the local market.

"As far as I am concerned, and I believe that other dairymen will take the same position if questioned, there is no kick on the part of the dairymen of Charlotte on the milk ordinance. Such things-are to be found in most cities of importance and I think the best thing that can be done is to accept the situation. It will not be opposed by me, and I do not think '-c-t is fencing.

Mr. John Berryhill, who is largely interested in the dairy business here, today gave the following summary of advances in food stuffs, that have come about within the past few years. "In the first place," said he, "milk cows have advanced from $25 and $30 each to $50 and $60 in the last six or seven years.
