The official report on North Carolina
textile mills, just issued, shows 2S9 in
operation, these being in 30 counties,
with 44,253 looms and 1,914,1S7 spindles,
as against ZIG mills the year previous.
with 3 1901 looms and 1,743,43i spiidles.
In spite of the loss caused by the high
price of cotton the southern mills gen
orally are reported in a prosperous con-
dition. The development of this indus
try has been even greater in South Caro-
lima than in North Carolina, with Geor-
gia, Virginia and Alabama making ex-
icellent progress. If the building of mills
continues at the present rate it will not
be many years before the cotton OF the
world is manufactured in the section
where 1t is grown,-Baltimore Sun.

at being assailed from time to time by
friendly English fellow travellers with
such questions as these: rs it not very
lonely in America? Are there any sing

bishops? Are there booths in the
streets of New York? Do people read
English books there? Have they heard
of Ruskin; and how" These were from
the rank and file of questioners, while a
very cultivated clergyman lost caste
somewhat with our young people by
asking, confidently: Are Harvard and

they fear you'll demand a raise II they

if his work is satisfactory. He dreams
of it all night, when it doesn't give him
a nightmare, and he works at it air day.
He longs to be told when it is effective,
but he has to be content with the fact
that, as he puts it, he'd be fired If it were
not satisfactory. AS for me, design

Republican political sffairs are
drifting slowly but surely towards
the desired consumation. Cireum-
stances are shaping themselves to
the satisfaction OF all concerned.
Perhaps never before was the course
of the Republican party so olearly
indicated as it is now. While the
President is taking heed for the NOR
row, he is wise enough to see that
he does not need to take a promi-
meet part in the coming campaign.
He is the campaign. A plenty of

White House daily. bursting with
suggestions, and full of details.
Senator Willard has picked out SEN
ator Fairbanks Of Indiana for Vice
President; Scott of w Va, for
Chairman of the Republican Nation
al committee, and II. S, New of
Indiana for Secretary. But this
will hardly hold water, as Mr.. e.
mer Dover, recently the right hand
man Of Senator Hanna, already fills
the position Of Secretary, and his
portrait and biography are going the
rounds of the press. Gov. OdelI,
of New York, is a guest al the

Prof. f. y. Mlmiord. Acting
Dean Of the Missouri University

think Missouri will have a large
wheat crop this year. "From re-
ports received, " says Prof. Mum

farmers in most sections OF the
State is that the conditions have
not been favorable for a maximum
wheat crop in 1924. The winter

in a small weak Fall growth of
wheat. 1t is too early to predict
the probable damage from the "a.
