THE CANNING BUSINESS.

There seems to be no good reason
why this section of country should
not build up and support three or
four canning factories. This has
generally been regarded as the best
fruit section in the State, or even in
the Southern States. This year the
fruit crop has been bad,-worse than
it has been in thirty years, attribu-
table to unusual frost last spring,
but it is fair to assume that another
such year will not again occur within
thirty years. The principal fact to
commend this industry is that the
supply does not keep pace with the
demand, for the market is the whole
world, and nothing is more salable
in large cities than fruit. California
is one of the greatest fruit countries
in the world, but there are some dis
advantages in that State from which
we are free, the principal one being
their distance from great markets
and the high rates of freight charged
by the Pacific railroads. For the
armer the raising of fruits and vege-
tables is desirable because he can get
his seed at once from the canning
company without paying cash down,
and he can sell his crop before it ma
lures. He will thus have money in
hand before he can realize ON his
main crops, and he will have the
further advantages that diversity
gives. There are fruit farms in Cali
fornia which are worth over $500
per acre; many of them considerably
more. We trust this fruit and can
ming industry will have the careful
attention of the people of Piedmont
Carolina

A POINT TO CONSIDER.

The Federal Government derives
revenue of three quarters ola million
dollars year from the tobacco in
terests of this section. The center of
business is in Winston, and Winston
proposes to ask for and proposes co
get a public building located here.
Senator Ransom favors it and he is
a power at Washington. He says
we ought to have handsome build
ing for the postoffice and the Office
for the collections of internal reve-
nue. Now, this district needs to con-
slider something. The next House
will be Democratic and if we fail to
elect a Democrat to Congress we
handicap ourselves at once. It is
important that this district shall be
represented by Democrat. A Re
publican from the South who must
necessarily favor such infamous leg
islation as a Force bill would have
no weight with the great body of
Democrats We want fine public
building here. Senator Ransom is
in favor of it, Gen. Stevenson's infu-
ence will undoubtedly be with us,
and we must have representative
in the lower branch of Congress.

A WISE RESOLUTION.

Action was taken at the recent
Democratic State convention of New
Hampshire, every word and letter of
which could be endorsed by every
good citizen of North Carolina. 1t
bears upon matter that is more
important to the pride and welfare
of the people Of this State than is
generally supposed. 1t is in the line
of progress, and we reprint the reso-
luton here, asking for it the careful
consideration of our readers. The
resolution is as follows:
"We favor immediate action by the
legislature, with a view to extend.
protect, and preserve our forests and
the acquisition by the State of aban
doned OR denuded lands, the preser-
vatlon of our water courses, lakes,
and mountain SUBMITS, and the in
itiation of a careful and comprehen
sive plan by which our country roads
may be improved and made more at
tractive. The large sums of money
expended annually within our bord
ers by summer visitors and tourists
justify us in demanding for these
subjects immediate consideration,
with the object of preserving and ex-
tending our forest area, maintaining
and rotecting the purity ofour wat
er supply, and increasing the scenic
and sanitary attractions of our
State"

THE Nj. e. CHURCH SOUTH.
1t Has 4 ,2O9,976 Members and 1917
ORGANIZATIONS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The CEN
sus Office has issued bulletin giving
statistics of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South and the Congregational
church. The returns show that the
former has forty-two annual confer
ences in this country, exclusive of
three in mission fields abroad, with
l ,209,976 members and Is, OF organiZa-
tiOnS. These organizations have in
all II, 6S7 1920 church edificeS, which,
with their contests and the lots on
which they stand, are valued at $1S,-
775, 1862. 1t is fact worthy of note
that of the more than 100000 colored
1860 only very few remain in connec-
ton with it. Thousands at the close
of the war joined other Methodist
bodies, and in 1870 the church set off
most of those it then had into sepa-
rate organization known as the Col
ored Methodist Episcopal church the
returns of which are yet to be pre-
Sented.
The Methodist Episcopal Church
South is strongest in Texas, where it
has 1898 members; Georgia is sec
ond with 134, 900; Tennessee third, with
121 1893: North Carolina fourth, with
ia, 3S5; Alabama fifth with 1892.
The returns for the Congregational
church show that it has 4,86S organi-
cations, 4, 1856 church edifices, valued at
$40, 1886, 437, and 512,711 communicates.
These statistics also show that Mas
sachusetts, where the Pilgrims and
Puritans established churches of the
Congregational order early in the
seventeenth century, is still the
stronghold of Congregationalism. 1t
has in that State nearly 102, 900 mem
bers. In Connecticut, which comes
second, there are 80, 154, and in New
York 1866. In the six of New Eng
land States the aggregate of Congre-
gational strength is nearly 10000,
which is about 45 per cent. of the
whole number of members in the
United States. The proportion of
members to population in Massachu-
setts is 1 to %: in Vermont, l to 1872;
in Connecticut, l to 1876; in New
Hampshire, l to 1911; in Maine, l to
3d. in Rhode Island l to 4S.

OYER two billion dollars, and thai.
the money loss to the South conse-

of it's industrial forces is estimated
at about five billions? Do you de
sire to see this beautiful section dd-
vance in happiness and prosperity?
If you do. caE you afford to cast a
ballot for the party that is hostile
to the South, that threatens her so

commercial progress and proposes
to attack her political welfare? Can

your interests in any other and bet

THOS. ALLISON .LYNCHED
For Shooting Down ". & Brown in
Mt. Airy Recently.
ALLISON LYnCHED NEAR DOBSON.

He Paid the Penalty Last Night-The
Killing of Brown was Almost
Without Provocation-It Occurred
Because He Would Not Run
Foot Race With Young Allison.
Special to the Sentinel
Mt. AIRY, n. C, Sept. 13-La. t
night Thomas Allison, who recently
murdered W. ii. Brown in celd blood
on the streets of this city, was lynch
ed near Dobson.
The history of Allison's crime is as
follows: Allison was receiver in a
Mt. Airy tobacco factory. Brown was
the shipping clerk in Sparger Bros.
factory in the same town.
On Friday, August 18th, Allison bet
Brown he could beat him in a foot
race. Brown thinking he was joking,
took him up and said he bet he couldn't.
On the following afternoon, Satur-
day, Allison, who was drinking, met
Brown on the street and because he
wouldn't run, told him he was not a
man of his word. Sharp language
followed. Presently Allison struck
Brown with his stick and while Brown
attempted to seize this, Allison pull
ed out his pistol and shot twice, both
both balls taking effect in Browns
breast. and from the effects of which
he died shortly afterward.
Allison fled but was run down and
caught by the citizens. Although
there was talk of lynching that night
the murderer was safely lodged in
Dobson jail.
Allison's counsel succeeded in get
ting his trial postponed from the
recent term of court, and it is said
an effort was to be made to have his
case removed to another county for
trial.
Allison had the reputation of being
desperate character and was accused
of killing two other men before.

''Any sane man can see that with

easily elected by ii plurality of four
teen thousand votes. Therefore, the
nomination of a Republican State
ticket is calculated to drive men
back into the Democratic party and
