reasons why the progressive men Of

Known the rotcntialitics and possibili-

BY way of illustration II may be
well to quote from the Call itself. Here
is some OF its language:

North Caroiinians living in other

only $500 Georgians in North Carolina
Does any intelligent North Carolinian
believe the natural opportunities in
Virginia Tennessee or Georgia are SUI
perior TO North Carolina? Then why is
II that nearly $4,000 OF our citizens
have gone 10 those States, while bat
$4,000 Of their citizens have come to US?
What would these 10000 people we
have lost. IN excess Of what we have
gained. be worth TO our State? There
are 10000 more North Carolinians in
other States than there are natives of
other States in North Carolina The
average wealth of the United States is
$1,000 per capita. on this basis these
people arc worth over 5000, 600. 600 to
North Carolina. Is il worth while to
spend $4,000 or 100000 annually in
an effort to stop this tremendous drain
on our resources? This proposed or
ganization should devote its best
thought in solving this problem; TO adj
init that it cannot he solved Is to admit
Incompetence.

THE SOUTHERN RAILWAYS
BIG WORK IN RICHMOND
Freight Terminals Completed Where

The extensive improvements OF the
Southern Railway Company's freight
facilities here in Richmond, authorized
by President Fairfax Harrison shortly
after his accession to the presidency
OF the road. have practically been COM
pleted with the opening OF the new
forwarding warehouse on the site Of
the old passenger station at Fourteenth

tireproof structure. 40xiSO feet, with
Offices for the local superintendent and
agency forces on the second door.
Serving the warehouse are tracks for
seventy-two cars, TO accommodate the
high-class merchandise traffic originat-
ing at Richmond.
An innovation in loading freight from
the warehouse TO the cars consists In
three long loading platforms running
the fun length of the warehouse and
placed between every two rows Of
cars. There are, further, several port
able crossover platforms connecting
these platforms with the warehouse

For any manufacturer to have his

Is very high honor commercially.
The class OF buyers who purchase

makers OF the PierCe-Arrow equip
their product with United States

charge, when requested BY the pur-
chaser.
The number of P!erce-Arrow buyers

Only one of these clocks il in

at different points over the state and

The following is a description of
the clock: A large dial is simply
painted on the glass (any large show
window or mirror is used.) A steel
spindle, or needle. is attached to the
glass in the center of the dial and the
two large hands of the clock are
slipped on this spindle. You are per-

dial is painted on the glass and then
the spindle stuck in place with glue
and then the hands placed on the
spindle. There are no weights or
springs-and no place for any. Ev-
erything is in plain sight. vet the
clock keeps perfect time. The hands
are loose on the spindle. and to prove
this anyone may take hold of them
and turn them around either way. re-
lease them at any place on the dial
and they will Immediately swing
