business prosecuted on q large scale.
1t is said that a vein of SOapStOne eX-
tends several miles along Deep river
and that a Northern syndicate is try
ing to get control of it. 1t is said
that this syndicate represents over two
million dollars. The sOapstone that is
now being mined at Glendon is ground
and prepared for shipping at the
Glendon mill which was until few
years ago merchant mills. A shaft is
being sunk on the Paschal property
and if white soapstonc is found, a
large plant will be built there for
manufacturing the mineral. Mr..
Boyte tells us that he has sold some
Soapstone property to the ID. M. Stew
art Manufacturing Co, of Chatta-
nooga. Tenn, who will develop it. The
mining of soapstone means much to
that section as it will put a great deal
of money in circulation. The mining
of soapstone was carried on near
Glendon many years ago, but as it was
so far from the nearest railroad, 1t
was unprofitdble. This mineral is
used for various purposes and there
is a great demand for it. Soapstone
is not the only mineral found in that
section. Mr.. Boyte says gold and
copper are found there. These min
erals may yet be developed along with
the .sOapstOne.

A certain lawyer says that many
years ago he went to western State,
but, as he got no clients ana stood a
good chance of starving to death. he
decided to return Eastward again.
Without any money he got into a

to seek employment as reporter on
one of the daily newspapers. When
the conductor called for his ticket he
said:
I'm on the staff of---o1 Nash

The conductor looked at MN sharp-
ly. THE editor of that paper is in

Identifies you all right.
He followed the conductor lnto the
smoker. The situation was explained.
Mr. Editor said:
ooh, yes, I recognize, him as one

Mrs. Lindsay Patterson, in her eff
forts to promote Southern literature
was inspired by the interest repeatedly
expressed by her father, Col. William
| Houston Patterson, whose belief that
| the South would blossom again and
produce some of the brightest lights
! in literature and art. led his daughter
| to do what she could as an incentive
! No woman in the South is doing what
| Mrs. Patterson has done in promoting
! literary advancement In the happy
1 idea conceived by her of presenting
! this memorial cup, she is considered
| to have centuries ago, when prizes
were offered in Greece as an incentive
20 literary advanceme..,, and year
after year cne presentation of the
Patterson cup Will be an event that
will grow in interest in importance in
historical significance, until the owner
of so magnificent a trophy will regard
it as the highest honor to be bestoN-
ed for literary achievements.
A description Of the cup at the time
| it was exhibited in Philadelphia be-
fore its presentation is as follows:
'As a memorial to her father the
late Col. William Houston Patterson,
| of this city, as an incentive to the de-
lvelopment of the literary talent of the
sons and daughters of the Old North
| Winston Salem, has had manufactured
here one of the most massive and
magnificent loving cups that Phila-
delphia jewelers. have ever seen. This
cup is TO be presented to the North
Carolina Historical Society. and by
that society is at the end of the year
to be turned over to that resident ma
tive North Carolina wr ter, who shall
have achieved the greatest literary
success during the year. At the end
of ten years it is to become the prop
erty of the person who shall have
won it the greatest number of times
1.-The Patterson cup, because of it's
extra ordinary beauty. because of the
story of final love behind it, and be-
cause of the prominence here of the
Patterson family, has attracted great
attention.
THE cup is Of gold and of massive
construction. 1t stands sixteen inches
high, and is seven inches in diameter

whether he is yellow black or white.
But the major proposition of this
SylloglSm has been dSreSpectfully
questioned since the dismissal, without
a trial, of an employee in one of the
executive departments, and the issu-
ance of the executive order of Octo-
Der II, the objectors supporting their
position on the antiquated reason that
even the President is bound by the
constitutional provision that no man
shall be deprived of his property
without due process of law" and
strengthened their objection by the
obvious probability that a cabinet of
ficer can nullify the civil service law
by dismissing competent employees
who belong to an opposition political
party and thus create vacancies to
which he can promote the sons and
daughters of prominent persons be-
longing to his own party.
Such, Mr.. Editor, are the strongest
of the reasons given by the Daily In
dustrial News why the young men
of the State shall vote to entrust our
government to what ex-senator But
Ter in 1892 called unworthy hands"
and TO perpetuate the rule of the Re-
publican party in Federal affairs--a
party whose forty-three years of "ben-
eficent policies" have been distin-
guished by increasing lawlessness and
corruption in high places and in low
places, in he departments of the Fed
eral government, in State government
in city governments, in cor
poration governments, and in the
daily dealings of the people with
each other. And the young men
who are seeking information along
this line may find it worth while
to ask their elders whether before
Republican policies were inaugura-
ted we had in the South the
"moonshine" crimes and the lynch
! ingS of luStful negroes: and if we
did not. to what extent those "poli-
cies' are responsible.
The reasons given in this paper
whv young men ought to ask to be
welcomed into the Republican party
arc as convincing and as ably pre-
sented as we ever find them in a Re-
publican newspaper; but it is impos-
sible to avoid the suspicion that
| whoever claims to have been led by
| them into that party had already had
his faith in the Democrats shaken
by glimpses of a seat at the Republi-
can pie counter
of promise. When Massachusetts
was in a life and death struggle with
the British government, our ances-
tors. without "the least particle OF
! personal interest" as the late Sena-
| tor Hoar admitted. went to her as
Sistance, after the war was over g
small per cent. of them would con
| sent to accept penSionS-the number
| of SouthernerS and Northerners or
the rolls in 1920 being respectively
as one to three in each hundred o
