THERE is not a Christian people
but desires the defeat of Russia in
her contest with Japan. AL Eu-
rope recognizes the menace of
Russian power and encroachment,
and over here in America, blood
being thicker than water, we, too,
feel that the welfare of our kindred
depends upon the defeat OF the
Muscovite. Yet Japan is "a
heather countree," and the cross
is not her emblem. Which demon
strates that our faith in intelligent
heathendom for righteousness and
mercy is greater, far greater, than
in the saving grace OF Tartarized
Christianity. The Russian church
es resound with supplications tc
the God of Hosts for victory, and
the Cars war pronunciamento is
we'll garnished with devout senten-
ces. Yet separate God from ma
tional self-interest and self-seek-
ing, and we all know which must
give way to the other. In this the
Russian is not peculiar.

along that system in North Carolina.
Mr.. White has recently made trip

as follows in the June number OF the

Beginning in Rutherford, and pass
ing through Cleveland, Lincoln and
CASTOR counties, the same agricultu-
raj and toDographicalS features are
found to exist. The surface of these
counties is undulating, but we'll wa
tered by large rivers and creeks, along
whose banks are found large areas
of rich, alluvial bottom-lands.. unsur-
passed in fertility. The soils con-
sist of alternating tracts of red or red
dish clay, and grey and yellow grav-
ely loans. These are generally well
adopted to grain, especially wheat,
oats and corn, while tobacco of fine
quality is also grown. While We find

ted. In addition to being a beauti-
full and modern city, it contains many
manufacturing industries, which
places it, commercially, in the fore
most ranks, and if the investment of
capital in its immediate vicinity con-
tinues it will soon out-dstance any
city in the State. Mecklenburg coun-
ty has the distinction of having more
than two Hundred miles of macadam
roads. which lead cut of the city in
all directions and penetrate the coun-
try for many miles, frequently lead
ing up to the boundaries of other
counties. To this feature Charlotte
is greatly indebted for its wonderful
advancement.
Leaving Meclxlenburg county we
pass into Union, in which is situated
Monroe, the county seat. Ten years
ago the population was 1900, while
today there are more than five thou
sand people within it's corporate linn

changes which have taken place with

The prosperity of it's merchants Is
attested by the large and fine quail
ties of the stocks carried in the re-
spective branches of trade. There
are cotton factories, oil mills, buggy
factories, fertilizer plant, three banks,
and public institutions, thus furnish

merly devoted to their use has gradu-
ally been decreased by the encroach-
ment of the early vegetables, and par
ticularly strawberries. A few years
ago q small colony located in the
Northwest was induced to migrate to
Eastern North Carolina and begin the
cultivation of Strawberries. Their start
was made on very small scale but
the adaptability of the country be-
came SO apparent that the acreage
was rapidly increased, until today we
find many thousand acres devoted eX-
clusiVely thereto, producing an enor-
nous tonnage taxing the refrigerator
and railroad companies in handling.
These berries mature at a period
when Florida. Georgia and South Car
DINA have finished their shipments,
and about three weeks ahead of the
Norfolk market. Good prices have
always been obtained. and almost
without exception the growers have
amassed considerable wealth. The
farmers prosperity, like contagion,
rapidly spreads to Others and through
its influence villages are growing to
towns of importance. Lumberton, in
Robson county. Clarkton and Alb
bottsburg, in Bladen county, are the
communities which are being bene-
fitted in this respect. Clarkton and
AbbottSburg were the first to receive
consideration and so successful were
the people of those towns that the
fever spread to those adjoining and
next season will witness an increase
in acreage and production, that will
be surprising. Lands. which three
years ago could have been purchased
for $500 per acre, are worth from
$4,000 to $4,000 per acre today. A
syndicate has just secured five thou
sand acres at AbbottSburg, which they
propose TO cut up into small farms, !
and place on the market at price |
ranging from $1,000 to $500 per
acre. These opportunities will be rap
idly sought after. There is another
important industry in Robson coun-
ty. which had its origin at Maxton. |
we refer TO the culture of Rockford |
cantaloupeS. From an experiment in |
one or two acres, this feature now
covers 726 acres, producing about two
hundred carloads annually Lum- |
berton, the county seat, is a city of !
three thousand people, and is stu
ated on the banks of the Lumber |
river. 1t Contains a large cotton mill |
and cotton-seed oil mill, and numerous
small industries. The city owns its |
water and electric light plant. thus
giving these conveniences at q very
cost.
Leaving these counties we cross the |
northern neck of Brunswick county, |
and go into the city of Wilmington. |
This is the most important seaport
in the State and has large foreign !
as we'll as inland trade in lumber, ma
val stores and cotton. Several efforts |
were made to locate a town along the !
Cane Fear River. and in 1925 the |
present site of Wilmington was Gho- !
sen. The existence of good harbor, !
with sufficient water to enable large |
vessels to cross the bar. made the To-
cation desirable, and suffice to say
that Wilmington prospered, and has
grown to be a city Of about twenty |
i've thousand people. Wilmington
