NIT the road to attain its full capacity for

Is The Piedmont Press objects to locating the
Episcopal College at Statesville account of the
unhealthncss of the place. We thought the idea
of healthy and unhealthy places had died out.
One place is healthy as another if the people
practice healthy habits But our friend of the
Press should recommend Charlotte if good health
is an object. The Superintendent of our Cemetery
has had almost nothing to do for the past year,
and the Grave Yard is more used pleasure re-
sort on Sundays than for burying dead people.
The coffin business is poor one here.
