MORE GUBERNATORIAL TIMBER

The Whiteville Echo copies an artl-
Gle from the Dunn Guide advocating
Hon. J.. A. Brown for nominee for gov
ernor. The Echo says on the subject
that Mr.. Brown is in no sense a can
didate for the Office, but that it can say
with certainty that he would not dis
regard the wishes of his friends if the
nomination should be rendered him.

~
it will be many years before they vii.
provide merchantable timber.
We can see but one remedy for the
existing evil, and that is immigra-
tion-either from Europe or from 9TH
er sections of the United States-o;
men and their families who will set
tie on these vacant lands and put them
to producing.
immigration for both farm and fac
tory is the crying need OF this section
of the country-not indiscriminate I'M
persons who are able TO reach our
shores from Europe, but of decent AMI
Industrious men and women who ara
willing and able to work on farm O.
in the factory and who, good citizens
in their old homes, will make good Cit
liens of North Carolina. Could VT
turn toward our section but a small
proportion of the Immense number Of
immigrants of this class who annual
would soon realize what advantage to
our state it would be.
There are many persons, We know
who are opposed TO immigration o.
foreigners. As reason for their OPP
position they point 10 the hordes II
foreigners of the lowest class who
have been allowed to enter this coun-
try and have congregated about thu
big coal and iron mines or have
swarmed to the most depraved sections
of the big cities of the north. o.
course no one wants that class of i'm
migrants, and u people would no.
have them. They could not live here
If they desired to; but their is no fear
Of their attempting it, for the decent.
quiet life on the farm or in the small
factory village is not to their liking.
There is another class of immi-
grants which the opponents Of imm;-
grafton ignore. That is those of the
sturdy men who have settled UP the
northwest-as splendid a class of cit
liens as We have in any section Of the
union. They have turned the barren
p~rairies into productive farms, hav-
immense cities and wealthy man
ufacturing towns. They and their de-
scendants are honOred members Of IL
sturdy and honest citizenship, many
of them holding the highest offices
in the gift of the people Of their
state. The immigrant from Norway,
from Sweden, from Germany has
with the native American
from the eastern states in making the
great northwest the wonderful coun-
try that it is.
When an opponent of immigration
calls your attention to conditions in
the mining camps Of the coal regions
or to the slums of the great cities OF
the north, do you point to the great
manufacturing cities and the produc-
tive farms of the west and northwest
and o have answered his argument.
What we want in the south is the
class of men who have made a rich
and prosperous country of the former
wilderness of those sections, we care
not whether they come from that
great northwest or from the east and
the European nations which together
supplied the settlers who laid the
foundation for the building Of thlt
great territory.

Observation-Disclosures Record.
The progress made by the south in
the manufacture of cotton, as shown
In the above table, is as surprising
to those who have not paid attention
TO this matter as 1t is gratifying to
every n in our part of the coun-
try. The steady advance in consump-
ton of cotton by American mills shows
clearly that the time will come when
American mills Will consume all ;,e
cotton grown in this country, and,
further, that the south will be the
center of this industry, dominating the
cotton milling business of America, if
not of the world.
1t will be noticed in the above ex-
tract that The Manufacturers Record
compares the south's takings with the
consumption of the northern mills
for the year 1898 and 1907, showing
that in the latter year our section
consumed 49.1 per cent of the total Of
the country; but it failed to call ut
tention to the figures for 1906, which
show that the southern mills takingS
exceeded those Of the northern mills
by 24,747, making the south's on
sumption more than so per cent. Of the
total takings by the mills of the whole
country. But for the scarcity of Ia
Dor during the past year, causing 50
many spindles to remain idle for long
periods the south's talkings would have
exceeded the northern mills consump-
ton by a much greater amount than
that OF the year before. The scarcity
Of mill operatives continues in the
south, it is true; but because of the
number of new cotton mills
and additions to old ones in
the south we look for Stats
tics at the close Of the present cotton
year to show that the southern mills
have taken considerably over so per
cent Of the total takings by Ameri-
can mills. AS sure as fate the south
is destined to be the center of cotton
manufacture in the near future as
she is now and will continue to be the
center of cotton production.

SCHOOL DAYS
ARE ENJOYED
Pleasing Social at Epworth
Church.
LAST DAY OF SCHOOL
Debate and Spelling Match
Affords Amusement.
An Unusual Program Carried Out
by the Members Of the Epworth
Church Epworth League.

Perhaps one of the most novel So
cials and entertainments ever given
in the city was the one which was
held in the basement Of Epworth M
E. church yesterday evening under
the auspices OF the Epworth League.
'grhe Last Day of School" was the
theme of the occasion and the var
ious parts were played to perfec-
ton.
The members of the league and
their friends, numbering in all about
|125, assembled at 8 o'clock. School
was called to order at $50 o'clock
with j. II. Oatey, general secre-
tary of the Y. NJ. G.. A. acting the
role of pedagogue and golden rule"
dispenser. "Such fun" everybody
was happy and above the din of
|tittering and smothered laughter
could be heard the clear strong voice
|of the teacher desperately calling for
better order.
The first and second reader classes
recited as the first attraction. In
the course of the recitation, the
teacher was compelled to dismiss a
number of the members of the class
for bad behavior. After some more
school fifteen minutes recess was
conducted The principal diversion
lat recess was tag and button, button
who's got the button"
Immediately after recess, an old
time spelling bee was in order. The
expert spoilers were arranged on
sides captained by Miss Jessie Lip
lpincott and Miss Grace Denman. The
exciting contest resulted in Miss Dem
mans side being defeated by a two
to one score.
At the noon hour "get ready
lduick' basket luncheon was served
and this feature was not little bit
enjoyed.
At the afternoon exercises. the pat
