While all Of the factories are owned by
home people now, the seed of industry
was sowed by a Massachusetts man.
Capt W. H. Snow came to High Point in
1867, from Lowell. the great New England
manufacturing center. He knew nothing
but factories and system. A woodworker
by trade, he turned his hand 10 that busi-
ness. for he had no money. In time he
built a little shop. and in it, with his son
and two or three "hands," he began 20
make spokes and AK handles. II was the
first factory in the town. Capt. Snow
knew that only apple wood was used 70
make the weaving shutues used in the
Massachusetts mills. He also knew that
apple wood was becoming scarce and
high In his shop here he experimental
with dogwood and persimIaon, Of which
there was an unlimited supply. and which
was then utilized for nothing whatever.
He made a few sample shuttle blocks OF
persimmon and sent them to New Eng
land 10 be tried There was no report for
a long time. Then came a rush order for
5000 persimmon shuttle blocks. That was
the beginning of the utilization of two
kinds of wood which are found in great
abundance in North Carolina. 1t was also
the beginning of this towns life. The
woodworking shop grew. and boys from
the farms were called in to take jobs. A
ten-hour day was substituted for the old
sun-tO-sun shift in the fields. The wages
were paid in full each week, while on the
farm in those days there was a settle
ment" only once a year. The farm boys
came TO town and worked gladly for 10
cents or 81 a day.

Furniture factories do not use the labor
of women and children. and as there are
so many families of working people here,
other mills have been attracted. Knitting
mills, a silk mill. clothing factories. and
such industries employ women and child

concern south Of the Potomac and east of

DOES THIS
PAPER SUIT?
A Writer Offers Some Good
Suggestions.
Gives Much Wholesome Advice
to Trade-Unionists and
Their Friends.

No one knows the struggle la
Dor paper has except those at the
helm; those who are responsible for
it's advancement; those whose very
existence depends on the paper be-
ing Il success. You don't know,
nor can you know, the trials and
tribulations that beset a newspaper
published in the interest of the
workers. If you did, it woulu sur
prise you at the lack of interest
taken by the very men whose cause
the paper aims to push forward;
whose interests the editor has at
heart and desires to advance
In the hope Of bcttering condi-
tions for the labor press, I would
offer the following suggestions
/. Subscribe for the labor paper,
and see that your bcnchmate does
likewise.
2. Pay your substitution when
it is due, and don't grumble ia at
the price -
3. Read the papers and give
thought to the various articles, for
they have found space in the paper
because of their educational Quanti-
ties.
4. Ask your merchants to adj
vcrtise in the labor papers,
5. Buy from those merchants
who ask patronaged through its
columns.
6. If there is any news concern
ing the shop or the union sec that
the editor gets it's.
Z. Have Il member Of the union
appointed as correspondent for the
paper, and then see that he does
his duty.
8. If there is any certain article
that does not please you. don't
knock the paper, but go see the
editor. He had good reasons for
printing it, and can explain to
your satisfaction.
8. Remember there is only one
labor paper to three hundred other
kind, and they mostly belong to
the capitalist class. All the more
reason you should support the
labor paper with all the power at
your command.
10. Don't knock the paper be-
cause is it smaller than Il Sunday
edition of d daily or has less feat
ures. The reason it is not on a
par is that the support you give it
is not on a par wsth that you give
the daily. Every dollar Il labor
press earns, and many of the
EDITORS private stock, provided he
has not been in business very long.
goes toward increasing the paper.
II. A labor paper is Il part of
the organized movement, and is as
essential to the movement as the
members, and should be considered
as such by all concerned.
II. Boost the paper at every
opportunity. The merchant and
the capitalist will respect you for
1T, and say that man has the prin-
clple in him and it is no use to
offer him reduction. Review.

There are sins of omission as
well as sins of commission. Not
only the man who does wrong
comes under condemnation but
the man, also, who fails to do
good. 1t was the servant who
had failed to use the talent who
received the rebuke of the master
even though no loss was reported.
The fact that nothing had been
done was sufficient even for pun
ishment, to the extent of taking
away the powers intrustcd to the
servant for some purpose. Who
is making the best use of his
time or talents for good? Not
the idler for good is active. Not
the man who fails to do anything
good for fear of making a mis-
take for in that there is no growth.
Is it not rather he who thinks
carefully, and with a sincere re-
gard for the rights of his fellow
man does something for himself,
his neighbor, his town or his
country?

The persistent attitude of tree
inspectors is producing desirable
results in this locality. People
are either spraying their trees in
accordance with instructions or
cutting them out to give place
for new and better varieties.
The effect of this will be a great
improvement in the quality Of
the fruit raised, which by finding
a ready market will encourage

There has been, and is now,
no natural reason why Utah
should not rank with California
as fruit producing state, at

flavor Utah's peaches and apples
are unsurpassed, and are sought
in eastern markets by those who
know of their qualities.
In one or two parts of the state
people have lately awakened &c
their possibilities in this line and
are rapidly getting wealthy in
the culture, and sale of fruits

of these sections, though nearer
