The Worlds Blessing.

Work has become the blessing
of the world. There is no greater
happiness than that obtained
through honest work, / do not
pity you your hardships; envy
you your opportunities.
That is the summary of the
philosophy of JACOB III Schiff,
one of the great captains of
finance and development.
Work for works sake plus
happiness, plus health, plus
provision! that is the conclu-
sion Of the Schiff philosophy.
There is nothing in this
world that is worth doing
that IS not inspired by an aim
and purpose. The aim is to]
be useful, to have a part in
llfe's activities; the bu9bose
is that provision for age, for
sickness, for those depend
ent on us. No man can avoid
this responsibility and he
must meet the personal ques-
ton: WHAT PROVISION
ARE YOU MAKING, and
what care are you taking Of
that provision? A man isn't
true tohimself who ism t true
to his obligations, to his
responsibilities! The most
inspiring and helpful thing
IN this life of work is to sit
down and discuss these mat
tiers in the sacred confidence
OF the home.

upward course, the price OF cotton
goods did not follow. The mills were
compelled to curtail production be-
cause of the lack OF demand, and what
business has been done has been done
at loss because Of the small mar
gin between the price of the raw ma
terial and the finished productions
largely for the sake of keeping the
employees from want These condi-
lions exist in spite OF the tariff wall
that keeps out to a large extent the
products of European factories run
on cheaper labor and cheaper capi-
tai. neither of which are available to
the American manufacturer.
With the prospect Of being thrown
in competition by tariff reduction with
the cheaply operated European mills
staring them in the face in addition to
their other troubles; is it any wonder
that the mill men should turn to the
republican party for projections.
That the republican ranks will be
considerably augmented by the addi-
ton Of the influential cotton mill men
in the south is very probable This
addition will serve to make the re-
publican party respectable party to
which voters can belong without
blushing, instead OF the party made
up of Office seekers and others work
ing entirely for self interest that is
now known as the republican party in
the south.
Such comparatively small addi-
ton Of the real voting strength to the
republican party, however, will not
by any means cause the south to for
sake the traditions 10 which ii has
held through more portions times
than now face the cotton manufact-
urers. The south will still be demo-
cratic, but there will be>two real par
ties with real grounds Of opposition
with the correSpondingly wholesome
political conditions that follow the cs-
tablishment OF two really opposing
political parties.

EX-GOVERNOR AYCOCK RETAINS
HIS USUAL VIGOR.

To the friends of the Honorable
Charles B. Aycock, in all parts Of
the state who have been troubled by
'rumors that the health of the ex-
governor was falling. his appearance
at Charlotte few days ago is as
surfing. The governor spoke to a
monster audience of farmer folk and
demonstrated conclusiyely that he
has lost none OF his former vigor
of body and spirit for which he is so
much admired by the people OF
North Carolina. The ex-governor
has recently declared that he is in
the fight for the senatorship to stay.
and judging by his speech at Char
lotte it seems that he is going to
be in the running with vim.

GOVERNMENT FADISMS.

The passage OF the Arizona and
New Mexico statehood bill by the
senate has brought up for discussion
once again the modern fad in gov
eminent known as the initiative and
referendum and the recall. The pro.
vision in the Arizona constitution
which would allow the recall Of
judges must be submitted TO vote
OF the people before its final adop-
ton, according to the provisions OF
the bill as it passed the senate. The
'otheF provisions along this line are
allowed to stand.
In the debate on the bill in the
senate there was a lively discussion

APPLE GROWING AS AN
AyOCATIOy.

mer tourist TO the mountains of
western North Carolina has firmly
impressed upon his mind If he be a
close observer. II is the wonderful
possibilities of this section for fruit
raising. Every tourist that travels
in this wonderful land OF the sky
above the clouds, who has prac-
tical turn OF mind and is inclined to
see other things besides the scenic
beauty, comes away an enthusiastic
advertiser OF the agricultural possi-
biIities. BY this means, the oppor-
tunity that awaits the investor is
becoming known throughout the en-
tire country. During the next few
years ii Is expected that there viii
be some real fruit raising done.
There are now orchards in the
mountains OF western North Caro-
lima that yield to the owners sew
eral thousand dollars every year
with the expenditure OF very little
time Of the owner and on a very
small investment Business and pro-
fessional men living in the cities Of
the lowlands desiring permanent
home in the mountains 10 which
they can fly from the heat OF the
summer, purchase a small tract OF
land suitable for apple raising. OF
which land there are thousands Of
acres lying idle that can be bought
at very small cost. Planting an
orchard is a very small matter and
securing a tenant to care for the
farm has not been so hard by those
who have tried the ventures. A
little general oversight, which many
business and professional men find
time to gfves yfesss a larse-retirrn
on the investment. Here and there
all over the mountain section OF the
state small fruit growing ventures
OF this kind are springing up. and
all are meeting with marked sue
cess. Apple growing in the noun

very attractive to a large number
