Manifold Virtues OF Salt.

Common, ordinary table salt (sodium
chloride) has many virtues. 1t is one
OF the best cleansers for the teeth and
gums. 1t is good for dyspepsia. 1t ia
excellent for the skin, and disinfects
wounds and sores. Il relieves pain
caused by bee stings and spider bites.
Salt used when sweeping carpets
freshens them and keeps out moths.
1t will put out FIRE in the chimney al
we'll as revive coal fire. Salt in the
oven under baking tins prevents
scorcbing on the bottom. Salt put on
ink spots freshly made will remove
them. Salt in water will refreshen cut
flowers, and as head.wash will pre-
vent the hair from falling.

THE TALE OF A TART.
Little Jack lIorner

Little Jack lIOrner
sat in the corner
And he began to cry,
For sad to say
The cook was awav
And he hadn't Christmas pie.
But the Queen of Hearts
She made some tarts
And gave Jack Horner two,
When, alack and alas!
A sad thing came to pass,
They were stolen by Little Boy Blue.
Now Little Boy Blue
Had no use for two,
So he ran down the hillside steep,
In pasture fair,
And when he reached there
He gave one to Little Bo-Peep.
But Little Bo-Peep
Fell fast asleep
Down in the meadow so still,
And she woke him with a start
To find that the tart
Had been stolen by Jack and Jill.
Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
Instead of going round it,
Soon after their start
They lost the tart
And Simple Simon found it.
Simple Simon
Met pieman
And to him the tale he told.
The man, then and there
Took the tart to the fair,
And to Mother Hubbard twas sold.
Old Mother Hubbard
Took the tart from the cupboard,
To give her poor dog a part,
But the dog, with spring,
Grabbed up the whole thing
And that was the end of the tart.

How Have the Mighty Fallen!

President Roosevelt, in discharging
the negro soldiers, without knowing
for sure which started the riot in
Brownsville, Texas, the whites or the
blacks; his advocacy of Japanese citi-
zeuship. aud his attempt OF being the
whole United States, has resulted in
denting, twisting and battering his
third-term prospects OF election-even
should he be nominated again-which
is doubtful to such an extent that his
political boat, which has done such
heroic service in the past, transporting
his opponents up salt river, is now
referred TO as being water.logged and
only fit for the " boneyard."

the most phenomenal development in
the south in the past decade has been
in the numbering industry, and millions
OF dollars Of oatside capital have been
used in opening up the vast timber
tracts. The lumber business. both for
home consumption and export, has
become one OF the south's most ag-
gressive industries. Without outside
capital or railroads the south's great
forests would still be virgin. A decade
or so ago iron furnaces in the south
were few and fsr between. but the
Birmingham region is now almost as
Weli-known as the Pittsburg region
as an iron and steel center Again
outside capital and TRANSFORMATION
have played the greatest part in the d.
veloment. In the same way the south
Is now formidable competitor of New
England as the cotton milling centre
OF the country. Formerly the raw
material was either exported or sent
to New England and milIed there
Outside capital and more adequate
transportation facilities have changed
all this, and today the south's cotton
mills are among the nations most
prosperous industries A recent COM
pilation showed that out of list of
forty-seven southern cotton mill COM
mon stocks, thirty-nine were above
par and eight near par. The average
bid price was 1923 What could more
fOfclbly illustrate the marked advance
over even so late date as 1895. when
the cry of hard times was heard
throughout the south and its giant
| resources had barely ro-~
In little over a decade the south
has made more tremendous progress
than any other section of the coun-
try, and it owes afmost the whole Of
this great development and progress
to the underlying moving force Of
capital which has replaced solitary
short line railroads with trunk lines,
which has opened UP vast forests and
brought forty millions Of tons Of iron
ore from the earth which has reared
tres Of cotton production, which has
in a word, made a new south out
| of the old poverty stricken south
| which was helpless despite it's great
natural wealth. IF the south is un-
willing to kill the goose which laid
the golden eggs, it must go slow and
realize that if corporations have err
ed they have also done spendid
work in the upbuilding of the south
that when all is said the vast good
far outweighs the harm; and that if
the south is to advance to a greater
and more magnificent future it must
| go by the path Of capital through the
| fields of fair play and cooperation
in no other way can it come to the
| journeys end which it seeks. There
are no short cuts through the dense
| woods of ignorance and hatred and
envy; only by taking the beaten path
| out in the open can the south or
any other section come to that pros
perity which is the goal of all ma
| tions.

ENEMIES OF THE STATE
Those of Our Own People Who Are
Frightening Away Capital

Gen. John Gill, president of the Mer :

ITO be frank with you. 7 m not in

Of corporations disinclines me to put
any money out in that direction for
some time to come.
There is too much populism in the
south. I think if men like you and
other prominent citizens of Charlotte
would come out and denounce the ac-
ton of -- as virtual con-
fiscation of property, it would have o
good effect in restoring confidence and
the country which has always COM
business relations with that section Of
manded my love and affection"
General does not need any intro
duction in the south.
There are those who say in ef-
feet:
I'VE do not need the aid of outsid
ers; we are able to finance our
selves
1t looks as il such persons were be-
ing regarded as representatives of the
south and are being taken at their
word
Yet when we get to that point where
outside capital cannot be commanded
we will be merely swapping dollars,
among ourselves.
All the money that is brought in is
is doubly serviceable, leaving our
own for home enterprise and adding
to the south's working capital by SO
much as it increases it.
All the money, for instance, that a
railroad brings in from the sale OF Sc
curities, for double tracking or other
improvements for disbursement here,
is a net increase of the wealth OF
the south, it having been earned not
here but elsewhere.
Those who countenance radical leg1s-
Iation or other action which drives
CAPITAL away through unreasonable nos
tility to it are enemies Of the south,
