BYRD S. COLER SAYS ACUTE
STRESS is NOW ON LAST LEGS.

High Point, Oct.AByrd S. Coler of
the w. N. Coler Banking Company,
New York bankers who are financial
~ interested in the South an despec-
tally to a large extent throughout this
section of the State in electric, steam
and gas developments, gives it as his
opinion that an immediate and sue
cessful future is in store for all man.
u~facturing inthis country. He writes
to a friend in this city that it is not
only his opinion but the opinion of all
prominent financial business men in
the finacial centers that the period of
acute stress is about over, and that
nothing rema ms, as far as the United
States is concerned, but to reap the
economic advantages which fall and
fall justly, to a neutral commercial
nation when it's competitors abandon
the peaceful arts of manufacture and
trade for war.
The closest parallel for our present
situation is that of England in 1871,
al the time of the Franco-Prussian
war. Mr.. Coler refers to the English
parliament reports as authority for
the facts he cites in connection with
the effects of this war on neutral Eng
land. In these documents, he says,
III every case the years Immediately
preceding 1876 are referred to as
''banner years. in English industry,
there being at this time an unexampled
trade expansion. The National in
come jumped from So, SOC, 600. 900 in
1870 to Sc, zoo, 0O0, 900 in 1874 an in
crease of 1 200, OOO, 900. The average
yearly totals of wages for the same
years were, respectively, s. 1900, 000,-
coo and $4,000, 900, 900. Taking 100 as
the wage rate for 1860, then the fol-
lowing years rank themselves as 108
for 1866, ITO for 1870. 124 for 1874;
and 1913 for 1877.
"Think of what a tremendous rec
crd,' remarks Mr.. Coler in his letter.
From 1870 to 1874 England's yearly
National income-from the sale Of
manufactured products-increased ST.
200, 000, 900. In 1S70-1S74 there was
al. enormous demand for workmen in
E!ngland's industry, as shown by the
increase of the total sum paid to Ia
Dor. "Qoes not history repeat itself?"
asks MI. Coler. I'm 1870-1S74 Eng
land was manufacturing for the world.
In 1914 the United States must manu-
facture for the world" Mr.. Colel
flushed his letter by emphasizing the
opportunity that cit is the duty of
American manufacturers to prepare
for what is just before US: an enorm-
tured products.

ATTORNEY GENERAL BECKETT
DECLARES 10TH DISTRICT SAFE

Raleigh, Oct.-Democratic State
Chairman Thomas D.. Warren says
the reports from all parts of the
state are most satisfactory in almost
every way, the only drawback being
that in over half the counties there is
no opposition ticket making it harder
to get out the fullest vote.
Leading campaigners coming in
from every section of the state report
excellent conditions. Attorney Gen.
eral Beckett just back from the ex-
IRENE western section where he filled
a number of engagements on both
sides of the Blue Ridge, says in his
opinion neither the eighth or tenth or
an other congressional district in the
west is in danger. He considers the
reelection of Congressman Gudger
in the tenth and Congressman Dough
ton in the eighth certain. He never
knew the democracy of the mountain
section to be in finer trim or more
confident of victory, he said.

RISE OF THE TRAINED NURSE.

The New York Evening Post in
comment on the celebration of the
tWenty-ffth anniversary of the open
ing of the Johns Hopkins Hospital,
declares that eth whole country did
not contain in 1889, outside of the
hospitals, more than a few hundred
IL aimed nurses. Now they exceed
100, 900 in number. The standard of
their qualifications is steadily rising.
Ir. the encouragement of this new
profession the Johns Hopkins Hos
pital contributed powerfully. 1t OPEN
ed a training school for nurses stimuli
taneously with the hospital itself.
There could hardly be a better illus
tration of the way the modern world
has created new callings in proper
ton of it's ability to sustain 'them.
than in the rise of the trained nurse.
In the old days the sick IA was tai
en- care of by his family by day and
by watchers from the neighborhood
by night. These were the village
blacksmith or painter, perhaps a fra
ternity associate mate. But he was
Inexperienced and poorly equipped
for the work. To draft him for it
was no small imposition. But, OF
course, the system was economical
and still prevails where the trained
nurse SEEM an extravaganza.
The world wants all the trained
nurses for its sufferers on beds of
sickness that it can afford. We do
not need war, and CONGREGATIONS and
earthquakes and vices in order to
make work" In supplying the legit-
innate and wholesome needs of the
world, such as the proper care of the
sick, we have a volume of work await
ing performance which will tax the
resources of even our favored land for
generations to come.-Boston Herald.

coughed SO much she had no appetite.
Nothing we gave her seemed 20
help her at all until one day Mrs. Neibert
told me how much good Vinol had done
her little girl, so I decided to try it for
my little one, and it has done her so much
good she is hungry all the time, her

We know Vinol will build up your

SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

To Shippers and Receivers of Freight
in North Carolina:
Attention Is called to revised tariffs
containing rates for the tr~ansporta-
ton of freight between points in
North Carolina, effective October 13,
1914. These tariffs are issued in &C
cordance with the decision of the
| Special Rate Commission. dated Au-
gust 13, 1914.
All freight of the Southern Railway
Company in conflict with the provi-
sions of this order have been cancel
n6 or revised to conform to the rates.
rules and regulations prescribed by
the Special Rate Commission.
Special attention is called to the
fact that in the application of this
new law, many important changes and
Lew conditions are brought about. the
knowledge of which is essential to
every shipper and received of freight
in North Carolina. Ordinarily there ia
but m rate between any two points
within the State. Under the new law
there will be as many rates between
two given points as there are availa-
bic routes between such points. A
new basis for making joint rates
with other lines is provided and the
shipper has the right to select the
shortest available route. Some of
these routes. while physically shorter
than others, are longer from the
standpoint of. efficient service, and the
movement of freight via these unusual
routes will necessarily require more
time than if SEM via more efficient
routes.
Shippers should in all cases insert
in the bill of lading the route over
which it is desired that shipment
move. North Carolina Joint Tariff No.
| provides specific routing i~nstruc-
tons to and from every point on these
lines within the State of North Carroll
ma, the observance of which insures
the application of the lowest available
rates. For further information apply

MASTER BAKERS NOT TO

Bredlin of Toronto, of the National
association of Master Bakers, now in
the 18th annual convention here, has
issued a statement denying that the
bakers are contemplating an effort to
raise the price of bread or reduce the
size OF the loaf because OF the higher
cost of flour as a result of the wal in
Europe. The bakers, he says, are
combining themselves to increasing
efficiency and promoting higher ideals.
