Winston-Salem, Jan. 27.-The
historic story of a glorious past,
a picture of the throbbing indus
trial life of the present, the vision
of marvellous future Is
Winston-Salem, the greatest man
ufacturing city In North Caro-
lima!
Salem, quaint and historic twin
of modern Winston, date s way
back yonder to 1866, when the
prosecuted Moravians settled
there, and an excursion through
it's old-timey streets, with its odd
brick houses, takes you back a
hundred years and more You see
the house where George Washing
ton once slept, and it looks good
for a couple of hundred years
yet. Almost oppisite is long, low
building, a bake shop, with great
doors divided In the nGddle-the
upper half open, mayhap, the low
er closed. Both building and bust
ness have been In one family for
goodness only knows how many
generations and is still owned and
conducted by descendants Of its
original keHnders. a little be-
yond you1come to the Salem Aca-
deny, founded one hundred and
nine years ago, fifty years after
the village schools were in exio-
tence, and from which more than
twenty thousand young women
have graduated. Close by is the
Moravian church, so awfully an
cient it makes you feel old to
stand in it's shawod, an imposing
building with an open belfry tow
er-used for an interesting pur-
pose. Upon the death of any mem
Der Of the church's congregation
the Moravian band solemnly
mounts to this wooden tower, and
the age, sex and condition of the
departed one is indicated by the
peculiar rendering of a funeral
dirge. It is an ancient and curl
GUS custom, brought over from
the land beyond the seas.
Sam Jones once told Hender-
sonville people that ancestors
were like potato vines-the best
part were underground. But this
is not true Of the people of Salem
and its big sister Winston for
while the twin city has distinct
ly two parts, ancient and modern,
yet they commingle and form one
great harmonious whole-a truly
democratic city.
Winston hasn' t been on the map
so awfully long and now it s the
greatest manufacturing city in
the State both in volume and in
divers1 y Of products, over two
hundred distinct lines being
made. The greatest thing here,
the greatest thing in North Caro-
lima, is the R. j. Reynolds Tobac-
co Company, which ships thirty
cars of finished product every
day. The buildings cover an en-
ormous floor space, there are
nearly five thousand operatives
employed and the story of the trip
through the plug tobacco depart
ment alone would require too
much space to tell. It is here they
make that favorite chewing to-
baccO of yours literally by the
ton and ship it all over the uni
verse. And by the way, in all the
world there is no tobacco grown
comparable to that produced in
this section for chewing purposes.

other Of the $50 varieties grown

Raleigh, Jan. 31.-There are
more than fifty lawyers in the
North Carolina General Assem-
bly,. Also there have been about
$50 bills introduced up to now, of
which some 95 or so have became
laws of the State. Maybe, if there
were fewer lawyers there would
be fewer Lawsuit as nine-tenths.
of the new legislation are local
measures, maybe there's no great
harm done after all.
Nothing of special interest to
the western part of the State has
happened so far. None of the big
bills have been introduced. The
proposed million-dolIar bond is

speetion at the Saturday morning
session, but burlington of Iredell,

here gently suggested that it be
made a special order for some,

the members would be present. :,
This was done and the first bond:

spected and critical y examined
some time during the week.
Same way with Representative
Stubb S constitutional convention
bill. Also with the statewide near
beer bill which will put the fes-
tive near-beer joint out of busi-
ness In the State-for the bill will
become a law, it is one safe bet.
The Torrens land system bill
has passed its first reading and
has been referred to the commit
tee. 1t provides for a state. guar
antee of land titles, makes the
property as easily transferable as
selling a hog or COW, and is al
together a wise and progressive
piece of legislation.
There is going to be, without
doubt, statewide good roads
bill. Just what form it will even
tually take it is absolutely impos-
sible to fSretell, for when road
bills are the subject of genteel and
polite conversation you find no
two men of the same mind. The
bill is going to call for some talk,
at any rate.
Representative Ewart says pos
lively that he will introduce no
new road legislation for Hender-
son, beyond what he has already
accomplished raising the age linn
it, until this statewide bill has
passed the house. One of the pro-
visions of the act will be for state
aid and use of road machinery.
There are many more bills pro-
viding county bonds for good
roads and some of, them specifi-
cally specify the sand-caly meth
cd. Buncombe county townships
may now issue bonds for good
roads, if they wish, among others.
Hon. Logan Page, director of
the Office of Public Roads of the
United States talked to the legis-
lators last Thursday night about
good roads. If the farmers of
could all have
heard this talk, have seen the
moving pictures which illustrat-
ed it, and listened to the instances
of marvellous increase In land
values and in efficiency of the far
mer's stock, as a consequence of
good roads, there wouldn It be a
bad roads man found In the eoun-

Judge Ewart is very anxious
to have the county commissioners
take action about employing an
engineer to investigate the Buck
Shoals matter. If any aid is ex-

Raleigh, Jan. 31.-Representa-

bill levying a special tax of one
dollar per head, upon all the dogs,
bachelors and justices Of the peace

The bill passed its first reading
in the house and has been referred
to the proper committee. It
stands an excellent chance of be-

that they had better not be married

what in the world to do.
She has given up the idea of any

she wouldn't know how to act with

a word, forget all the years that have
gone and everything that has made
life beautiful to me for eight Z long
years? It doesn't seem fair; it doesn't
seem right What shall 1 do?"
Why, poor Mary, what in the world
can you do but write this Billie Of
yours nice friendly letter telling him
that he is quite right and that you
are very much relieved to think he sees
it. too? There's nothing else for you
to do and keep your own self-respect.
And when you have. written the let
ter and sent it, go somewhere and say
a quiet little prayer Of thanksgiving
for your deliverance from an unhappy
marriage Be thankful TO Billie for
telling you the truth now, before it's
too late. He probably, walked the floor
for weeks getting up his courage to
send that letter.
Another woman?
Very likely. What are, you going to
do about it? Billie cares more for the
other woman than he does for you. Be
glad that he had the courage and the
honesty to help you out Of miserable
position.
And then?
And then the world will be a very dull
place for you-for while. You'll
mourn and you'll cry.
I'd go away somewhere If were you;
somewhere among strangers where peo-
pie won't ask you what's the matter

And then, in six months you'll be Won
dering what on earth you felt so dread
fully about. Billie isn't the only man
in the world, and if he was, many peo-
pie have lived and died In peace and
comparative happiness without the Bit
ter-sweet comfort of love at all
Be a woman, Mary; be a real woman
Laugh, take an interest in things, and
forget Billie.
The chances are that six months after
he has married the other girl he'll be
sneaking out to the barn to sit down
alone lille and think-about you.
Which would you rather be then-the
wife he's tied to, or yourself?

The selection included number of
patriotic airs in medly with the realis-

interspersed to produce the wierd effect

so severe that I could scarcely get

their use, procuring my supply at Kelly
