7 INHABITANTS Of three little settle
ments on the Maine coast, Scar
boro Blue Point and Pine Point,
where the chief industries have been
the digging Of clans, the pOttng OF
Holsters and the keeping of summer
boartiers, have recently become eXer
cised over the possibility that beneath
the mud that shrouds the retiring clam
lies wealth enough to enrich every citi-
zen OF the locality.
This is not n revival Of the Jernegan
theory that there is sufficient gold in
salt water to pay for its being extracted.
That theory was exploited in the neigh
borhood of Bar Harbor some years ago
and the result proved to every one
that salt water could not be mined at
a profit to the stockholders, no matter
how satisfactory the results We're to the
promoter Of the enterprise.
In the present instance there Is al
legged history for the belief that under
the thirty or forty feet of mud and
water that cover the Scarboro marshes
there exists free gold in quantity suf-
hcient to satisfy any dreams Of avarlce,
even those possessed by IA Maine clam
mer And there is actual history for
part of the theory.
The part that Is yet in need Of veri-
fication Is that when the Norseman
Left Ericsson discovered this continent
about the year 1000 he first landed at
Scarboro and that it was the stretch
between there and the Klttery Navy
Yard which he called Ninclard. The
real Maine citizen. by the way, always
speaks Of kitt"ry Navy Yard ana never
gives II the name by which ii is usually
known, the Portsmouth Navy Yard
'rh" reason is that Portsmouth Is sit
ua,"d in New Hampshire and Kittcrs
in Maine. There Is an excuse, how
ever, for the Maine mans prejudic,
in the fact that practically the whole
plant lies within the limits Of his State
There is evidence that the Main,

THE SOUTH WINS.

The South has carried off the
prizes in Congress. The chairman
ships of the leading committees of
the Senate and of the House have
conc to. members from the South.
.saAfhy not This .iseea Democratic
administration, and the South has
been the anchor and the hope of the
Democratic party ever since the
close of the war between the states.
More than this, the South has
given to the nation some of its
greatest Presidents, its ablest states
men, its deepest thinkers.
No part of the country is richer
in natural resources than what we
call The South The greatest
future development of the nation, in
material way, will be in the South
ern states. We predict also that
the greatest industrial growth of the.
country will be in the South.
Its cotton mills, iron foundries,
collieries and lumber and sugar mills
are established on a basis that
twenty years ago would have been
thought to be almost impossible.
For more than twenty-five years
the advantages to our great export
trade offered by the ports on the
gulf and ON the South Atlantic were
loudly proclaimed and went un-
needed, but to-day the the tide of
exports is running toward the South
and establishing its superb harbors
as commercial centers of the first
rank!
Commodities always seek the
short haul for economic reasons and
obviously the short hauls. from the
wheat and corn fields of the West,
the cotton fields of the South, and
the oil fields of Oklahoma, Louisiana
and Texas are the Southern ports.
The South is no longer an advo-
cate of unrestricted free trade, as it
was before the war. Its astonishing
industrial development has created
widespread sentiment among its
thoughtful people in favor of fair and
adequate protection to Southern in
dustrial, agricultural and commer-
cial interests. 1t is not surprising
that some of the strongest advocates
of a moderate protective tariff in
Congress come from the southern
states. There will be many more
of them before long.
Give the South fair play and a
fighting chance and it will wake the
nation up.

MILLS AND SCHOOLS IN NORTH
CAROLINA.

The little schoolhouse on the hill
side draws more children to it's doors
than the city school in a mill town.
The latest school reports for fifty
three districts in North Carolina with
nearly thirteen thousand children of
school age, show that in the mill
towns only one-half of the children
enroll in school; in country districts,
three-fourths OF the children enroll.
In two small mill districts the per-
centage of enrolment is as high as
the rural average, but still far below
the percentage in nine rural districts
where more than nine-tenths of
the children are enrolled.

the BIG FURNITURE EXPOSITION.

There were 287 furniture buyers
here the first two days ofthe Expo
sition and there has been steady
stream since. Without doubt the
first exposition in this furniture
manufacturing town will be adecid-
ed success. 1t is little early for
Southern Exposition due to the fact
that the. buyers are waiting to see
how the cotton crop will materialize
before placing big orders, yet the
sales have been very satisfactory
from every standpoint of view.
Larger orders are looked for toward
the latter part of the Exposition.
The Northern expositions are held
during the early part of July but
they do not have to wait ON crops
to a great extent like the Southern
buyer, conditions being different.
All the furniture men express them
selves as well pleased with the ex-
position and all agree that the ex-
position should be under one roof so
as to look at all the lines in the
same building. 1t is more satisfac-
tory from a business standpoint and
High Point can be counted upon to
arise to the occasion and by next
year this time no doubt a big build
ing will house all the exhibits. We
are firm believers in the exposition,
it means much to High Point, the
State, and the South in general.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE
NORTH CAROLINA GOOD
ROADS ASSOCIATION
To be held at Morehead City, July
31st and August 1st, 1913

To be held at Morehead City, July
3lst and August 1st, 1913
Few States in the South have ex-
hibited more activity during the past
six months in Good Roads" work
than has North Carolina, particular
" Western North Carolina; and it
is believed that the work Of the
North Carolina Good. Roads ASso-
ciation has been largely instrumental
in awakening this interest and acti-
vlty. The annual convention for
1912 was held in Charlotte and was
largely attended,, there being be-
tween 800 and 400 delegates. Since
that convention met, counties and
townships in Western North Caro-
lima have issued about ST. 300 900
in bonds for good roads. Most of
the Piedmont and Eastern counties,
which have considered bond issues
during this period have not regarded
them tayorably; and, for this reason
it has been thought wise by the
Executive Committee of the North
Carolina Good Roads Association to
hold this Convention in the eastern
part of the State.
There are still a great many ques-
tions in connection with the Good
Roads" work in our State which need
to be worked out, and it is by get
ting together and discussing these
matters that the work is advanced
and possibly many errors obviated.
A great many local road bills were
enacted by the General Assembly
of 1913 relating to road work in vari-
Gus counties and townships, but no
State legislation was passed
