GOOD THINGS DOWN SOUTH
COMING TO OLD VIRGINIA
Man who Knows n Thing or Two Look
ing to Tint Which Is
the Best Country.

The moral the South should derive
and apply from the "Made-in America"
movement is that there should be more
"Mnde-in -the-South" products, Is the
opinion of A. d. Kennedy, general man
ager of the American Machine and
Manufacturing Company, now located
at Greenville, S. c.
From correspondent 1t is learned
that about three years ago Mr.. Ken
nedy's concern bought the business of
g. H. Bushnell Press Company, a New
England concern, and established It
In Greenville under the present name
Nine men out of ten engaged in the
manufacture of the cotton oil mill ma
chinery had nevor seen boil of cot
ton, and the superintendent of the
factory asked Mr.. Kennedy one day
what growing cotton looked like. And
he had been In the business all his
life. The Bushnell corcern Is now en-
gagged In the manufacture of automo-
bile parts. Says Mr.. Kennedy:
The Atlanta Manufa curing and
Supply Company. of Atlanta. of which
am one Of the incorporators, is
another example of the possible manu-
featuring concerns in the South. This
plant turns out elcvating and convey
plants"
Mr.. Kennedy Is of the opinion that
the South has as good technical schools
AS can be found iD the United States,
he having graduated from the Georgia
School OF Technology in 1903. He says
| that all the Southern technical school
! men that remain in the South after
graduating seem to do better than il
they had gone North or West. He says
OF his class of 1903 the men that re-
main In the South and devoted their
energies to the upbuilding of the native
country have done better by them
selves than II they had gone to other
parts of the country with their talent
and ability. Practically all of his
former classmates that remained in the
South are now at the head of i'm
portant concerns or hold responsible
positions He is OF the firm belief that
the South can do better by any young
man OF this class than can any other
section OF the country, due to the un-
usual potentialities awaiting develop
ment at their hands.

Il would like to state that 1t Is n live

Such q policy Will push any community

better grade Of tobacco is being
marketed now than earlier In the sea-
son. and this, together with the fact
that the prices for the different grades
have advanced. is putting a much
larger amount OF money into circula-
tion in the county.
The weather tho past week has been
unusually favorable for stripping to-
bacco, and the good gravel roads lead
ing into Lawrenceville from every d.
rection greatly facilitate the market
ing OF the crop. Much tobacco tina
has been held back on account of tho
dry weather and the low prices will
now be brought to market.

Murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey
Is Third of Recent Tragedies
in Duryea Family Circle

Two other recent tragedies have
darkened the history of the noted
Duryea family, of Long Island. of
which Mrs. Bailey was a member. She
was the daughter of Mrs. Jennie Dur
yea, Of Hampstead who is related to
the wealthy Duryea family. that for
more than a generation has been iden-
tilted with the manufacture of starch.
General Hiram Duryea, to whom
Mrs. Bailey was related, was shot
to death on the morning of May 3
last by his son Chester, who had
gone insane. General Dufyea, wealthy
manufacturer and commander of the
famous Civil War regiment, Duryea' $
zouaves, was killed while asleep in
his home.
The other tragedy was almost
equally dramatic and followed the
marriage of Mrs. Eta II. Duryea to
Jack Johnson, the negro champion
heavyweight prize fighter. They were
married secretly in Pittsburg on JAM
uary IS, 1911. About a year later the
authorities at Pittsburg discovered
that proper return Of the license
had not been made and they
threatened prosecution.
Some time later. while johnson was
making merry with a party of gay
friends in the Cafe D'Champion,
owned by him in Chicago, his wife
shot and killed herself.
