South's Labor Needs.
NJ manufacturers Record.

In an interview with the Charlotte
On. c. Observer Gen. William F.
Draper, president of the Draper Com
pany, of Homesdale, Mass, and
heavily interested in financial way
in Southern cotton mills, spoke in IL
most optimistic strain of the textile
outlook for the South. He expressed
the belief that the South might man
ufacture the bulk Of fine yarns as it
now manufactures the coarse yarns,
if only an adequate supply OF labor
could be secured. He pointed out
that in the notable development of
recent years the labor supply had
been outstripped and the point had
been reached where the supply of
native labor must be increased or
help must be obtained from outside.
The confidence of General Draper in
ultimate solution of this labor prob
lem is shared byeverybody at all ac-
Quainted with other difficulties which
| the South has overcome There are,
to be sure, many questions, political,
econonic and sociological, entering
into this phase of the labor question,
but none of them is absolutely baf-
fling, though all of them demand
| the exercise of calm, farsighted iudg-
ment.

enough to bring him to the fore.
Mr.. Cranford, first position was

A few years later, after his salary
had been raised to $6 week he sue
cessfully stood an examination for
the railway mail service, and acted
as mail clerk for a couple of years
Then he conceived the idea of estab-
fishing a clothing store, and, taking
friend in as partner, soon started
in the business. From the very be
ginning the undertaking paid. To
day he'has one of the finest establish

Mr. Crawford attributes his success
to advertising. He placed large and
expensive display advertisements il
Winston-Salem's two daily papers
and in the towns large weekly. He
kept his business before the public
When the dull season came on, he in.
creased his advertising. space, until

There is a structure which every

himself. 1t is called character,
and every act OF your lives is stone
for this structure. Ii day by day
YOU are careful to build your lives
with pure, upright deeds, at the end
YOU will stand a fair temple, ,honored
by God, and man. But as one leak
will sink a ship. and one flaw break
a chain, so one mean, dishonorable
act or word will forever leave its i'm
press and work it's influence on your
character. Then let the several deeds
unite to form a day and one by one
the days grow into noble years, and
the years as they slowly pass will
raise at last a beautiful edifice, en-
during forever to your praise, and
YOU will cherish with the utmost ten
derness the memories of your school

How few of us take the trouble to

servant for work we'll done, or even
pause to tell our nearest and dearest
how we appreciate all the daily
services which we have apparently
never noticed.
When our friends die we hasten to

probation of our love for them. But
would it not be better il We had help
ed them by a little praise when they
were working. or if we had cheered
them in the dark days when they
were troubled and suffering?
Only Il few words of appreciation.
The cost is nothing, but the recon-
pense is beyond price. Let the hus-
band tell his wife how much he prizes
her love. for him, and the wife tell her
husband how truly she recognizes all
his care for her. And the mother
should reveal III words how much

Stock Raising.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger.
Why don't our people turn their
attention more to stock raising?
There is money in it especially at this
time when horses and mules are
bringing such high prices. We see in
the High Point Enterprise that a
farmer near that town has just sold
q pair of mules raised on his farm, for
five hundred dollars. a splendid
price that was for a pair OF mules.
What that farmer did many other
farmers could do, especially i'll this
section of the State where grazing
could be done for SO many months III
the year. We have never understood
why farmers and land owners in this
section OF the country have not paid
more attention to this industry.
| There is no other section OF the cOun-
| try where facilities for cattle and
stock raising are more advantageous:
1t would cost little or nothing almost
to raise beef cattle and mules for
stocking farms. Why should the
South be dependent on the West for
its horses and mules for farm work
when they can be raised at home
cheaper than they can be bought
from the breeders of the West? Our
people have not entered on this line
OF industry because it is something
new to then. They, from lack OF ez
perience, do not know the money that
is in it for them. Let them once get
at the business and there will be al
end to the importation ofhorses and
mules for farm work from the West
In recent vars the people of eastern
North Carolina have found out that
their section is better adapted &c
truck raising for supplying the mar
kets of Northern cities than any 9th
er section of the country. By thl:
industry our people have improved
their condition wonderfully, but they
will not have reached the acme o
their success as agriculturists unit
they begin the supplying ofthe home
markets with beef cattle to suppl,
the wants of the table, and horses
and mules with which to stock th'
farms.

A:Language All Mules Understand

Joe Mitchell Chapple in National Magazine.
\ story is told of Senator knute
Nelson, who spent some OF his early
years in a logging camp. He there
discovered the necessity OF a certain
emphatic language in order to make
mules move. "All varieties of
tongues were in demand in that
camp: Scandinavian, German, Ital-
ian---but none of the words used
seemed to have the explosive force
to adjust the tempo of the mule to
the desired pace. Along came a
strapping Irishman, who used some
popular expletiyes, usually indicated
in print by blank, blank, or, -
--. The mules moved! There S
language all mules understand, :"
said the Irishman- land it's not

Joy in Doing Things.
Baltimore Manufacturers Record.

Baltimore Manufacturers Record
In a comprehensive story of the
wonderful work Of e. S. Mellen, presi-
dent OF the New York, New Haven 4
Hartford Railroad, the Wall Street
Journal referring to his success in
many fields, says: with him the
primary object was work aud the
10y OF achievement"
That sentence tells the whole story:
The three or four columns elaborat-
ing the details OF what Mr.. MelIen
has accomplished, interesting AS
they are, were almost unnecessary
unless they be locked upon simplyas
an elaboration of what he has ilc-
cOmplished, as Il frution OF lie in
which there was the love of work aud
the Joy OF achievement. The man
who goes at his work, whatever it
may be, with this feeling, generally
makes what the world calls success;
but whether he makes financial sue
cess or not, he makes Il success OF life
and of the things which he under
takes One constantly hears the
question why do the great multi
milliOnaires OF the country continue
to work: why do men who have accu-
mulated fortunes far beyond the pos
sibility OF their needs, however eX-
travagant the latter may be, con-
tinue what the world calls the grind
OF business activities? The answer
can be found in this statement about
Mr.. Mellen They do it because OF
the love OF work and the Joy OF
achievement.
Many OF the great captains OF in
dustry sometimes feel that they
would like to lay aside the burdens
Rand give themselves up to ease and
comfort and what may be called the
pleasures of life, but the more they
study the situation the more the Joy
OF accomplishing things appeals to
them and the greater the response
bilty which they feel is resting upon
them to carry out to Il final cOnclu-
sion the vast plans OF business devel-
opment upon which their lives have
been centered. In many Il man
whose wealth is a burden and a re-
spohsibility rather than a Joy there
is a far deeper sense OF obligation to
utilize this wealth for the creation OF
still greater undertakings and the
broadening of the field of human en-
ployment than the public at large is
ready to give him credit for. In
many of them there is a sense OF
trusteeship. They feel that this
wealth and the power which it gives
are not to be used wholly for their
own enrichment, but for the advance
ment of the things which they regard
as essential to the best prosperity OF
the country. Their absorption in
business is largely because OF this
thought and of the fact that "the
primary object with them is work
and the Joy OF achievement. 'Plty
the poor" should sometimes be re-
versed to pity the rich,'-not the
ordinary well-to-do man whose
wealth enables him to enjoy the com
forts of life, but the men OF vast
wealth ''bound to the Wheel by cir
cumstances which force them on to
new and greater responsibilities.
They cannot let go; they cannot, eX-
cept in rare cases, step aside and let
others take their burdens, and so
their chief pleasure must be found In
the Joy of achievement.

greeted business men in the vicinity of
the Carl Look building, near the heart
OF the city.
Mrs. John Finch. of Armour, S. d.,
who about two weeks ago arrived in
Sioux Falls with her young child for
the purpose of securing treatment for
the eyes of the child. who had become
nearly blind. became violently insane
and was utlerin@ the cries.
AS the men glanced upward. the
screen over Il window was thrown vio-
leEtly from its place and tumbled TO
later the head and shoulders of the
woman appeared in the window.
Saved by Passerby.
The crazed wonan then threw her
child to the sidewalk below. A passer-
by. attracted by the hubbub, was di-
rectly under the window, II holding
out his arms he broke the fall of the
child. who otherwise might have been
killed instantly. Next the mother

eighteen feet.
Her fall was broken in tho same man
ner as that of the child. so neither, be-
cause of the presence of mind of the
passerby, was seriously injured. Mrs.
Finch was removed to the county Jail,
while the child is being cared for by
Mrs. Fred Mentzlaff, who has charge of
the rooms where Mrs. Finch had apart
mentS.
When Mrs. Finch first arrived in
Sioux Falls she was perfectly rational,
but within the last few days a change
was noticed. which was thought to be
due to worry over the condition Of the
child. 1t is reported that herself and

worry and fear that the child with her
