A PLEA FOR PROGRESS,
Whereby We Can Build Up Greater Colds
bOrOs


North Carolina is rapidly forg-
ing ahead in cotton manufacturing,
and is now second to none Of her
Southern sisters IN this greatest
of all American industries. The
writer has been IN the cotton bus
mess continually for sixteen years
AMI he has seen the value of cotton
advsnce locally from a quarter to
a half cent per pound, which
means a direct increase to the
farmer alone of $1.25 to ST.. so
per bale, or from $1,000 tc
$20.O00.OO to the farmers of
Wayne county. This enhanced
value of the staple is directly due
to the presence of cotton mills in
SO many o: our towns and cities
throughout the entire State, and
which are being increased at a
greater ratio than ever before.
For long time the local cotton
buy er had to base his price to the
farmer on what he could get at
TIE ports, less the freight to such
ports and to European markets,
but with the cotton mill in so
many towns where the cotton is
marketed by the planter, he gets
the full port value of his cotton,
which is, as before stated, from a
quarter to half cent per pound
more.
And the planter is not the only
one benefited by cotton mills.
Every branch of business receives
more or less stimulus from them
and each average size cotton mill
increases the population from two
to five hundred people. This nee
essarily creates increased demand
for houses, and all kinds of mer~
chandise, wood, fruits, vegetables
and dozens of other things,
Therefore, it is to the interest
of every citizen to do what he can
to aid in the establishment of
mills in his town. Goldsboro has
but one cotton mill, which is doing
well, running day and night, for
two years, and can't supply the
demand for its roduct, at remu
neratlve prices. We should have
several more. We know of places
that haven't one-fourth the money
that Goldsboro has that have built
from one to three mills within the
past three or four years. There is
a desire among some of our citizens
to build one and perhaps two
more here. One citizen has ten
dered very desirable site free,
and agrees to take five thousand
dollars cash stock in the same;
others have agreed to take sub
stantial amounts. The organizers
desire to give those of smaller
means also an opportunity to take
stock, that will prove more prof
liable investment to them than a
savings bank, because it will sr-
range for them to take any amount
they want from a hundred dollars
and upward, and pay for 1t in
small weekly payments, say one
or two dollars per week, and in
such manner that they will not
feel if, which stock will pay
from 8 to 90 per cent. instead of
five, which is the maximum in.
terest paid by Banks.
There will 5000 be a canvass
made to see what can be done to-
wards raising this stock and we
will be glad to have as many as
possible signify their co-opera
ton by subscribing for one or
more shares. We extend cor
dial invitation to any planter
throughout Wayne or other coun-
ties who may have a hundred, a

The Win Canary.

''Do you know said the observant

"One of the cages was very old. having
been in the family for years. and was
used as much for traditions as for econ

II had frequently remarked TO my wife
that l believed the occupant of this cage
was ashamed OF his shabby dwelling
place and observed with envious eyes the
fact that the other songsters were more
artistically lodged.
Eventually the old cage collapsed, and

Christmas Of the Rich and Poor.


1--WE have an idea that Christmases as
they are celebrated In homes OF great
wealth must he IDEAL" writes Edward
Box In plea for a simpler l!fe~a simpler
celebration OF Christmas - In Ladies'
Home Journal. "Yet often, as an actual
fact, no more lonesome Christmas days
are spent apyw here than In these homes
OF plenty. Riches on Christmas are often
like sweet bells out OF tune.
Nothing was simpler than the first
Christmas Day, and its strongest appeal
TO our natures, although We do not al
ways know it, Is because it was so
simple. Nothing Is so fatal to our deep
est aud truest enjoyment as the rcalizs-
ton that we can have whatever we will
simply for the wishing or asking. All
value il lost then. II is n hard truth for
those who have little TO believe that the
greatest happiness OF lie Is with them:
that 1t Is not with those who have
abundance.
THE more we have the less we actually
enjoy 1t. There is a la " of compensation
that comes in there. The lives OF those
who have abundance are vastly more
complicated than are the lives of those
who have little. We are wont to say, oh,
well, I'd like to try once having all the
money wanted Thousands have said
the same thing, only to have their wish
come true, and to realize that happiness
lay not along the way they thought. 1t
is strange how the poor envy the rich,
and then to see how the rich envy the
greater and fuller happiness OF those who
have less. The woman OF simplest means
Is the hsppiest woman on earth, II she
only knew 1t. She Is bappiest because her
life Is simplest, and, therefore, truest."
