comes the property of the whole OF |
civilization almost as soon as II IS |
proved to be good. The oddlty about
Sampson county's contribution TO hu-
manity is that it includes whole raft
of things. SIMPSONS dream IS as
comprehensive as 2 log-rolling omnl-
hus bill in the closing hours OF Con-
cress. It covers practically every
thing that is worth having, and the
most satisfactory feature about it is
that it is working, and working on
scale 50 big that it has caught the
| entire county.
Results Come In Flood.
Sampson in a year or two has got
| results The work has been moving
in quiet way for longer period,
| but it is only in about that length OF
time that the forces have been bring
| ing visible results When results
started to arrive they seemed to come
in a bunch Enough is now accom-
| pliShed to forecast something CT what
| is ahead. Good roads everywhere is
one of the things IN sight. \ practical
grouping of communities for school.
social, neighborh0od and other pur-
poses is at hand, and the school
grouping of Sampson will be no acci-
dent. 1t will be design, and will be
followed by efficient school units that
objects in view. Woman's work, farm
progress, moral conditions. health,
social life, and I have no idea what
else, will continue to have the atten-
ton Of those same factors that are
, forwarding education, for Sampson
, has laid down the principle that edu-
f cation is merely a means Of obtaining
, these other ends
+ Sampson is q big county in area
2 but small in population. Yet it is a
e county with unlimited possibilities
J, and if it will work with the newly
T organized State Publicity Bureau, an6
: the bureau will work with Sampson
t as / imagine they will both be eager tt
do it is q wonderfully pleasing visior
| that we can see as we look forward
S to the Sampson county of two or three
n times as many people working alOns
Il the lines the county has adopted fOl
the creation of a model county instead
Of merely model communities her
and there within the county. Natur
ally in time the model communitie
will grow together with the creation
of more, but if the whole county Cal
be made known to the world it seem
a certain proposition that people from
g. other states will be attracted by tn
various inducements Sampson has t
,, offer and that the county will gro1
u and become leader in population a
10 we'll as in ideals.
~ Sampson has this advantage.
> not only can offer an incentive in it
s. social customs, but it can offer all {
le the inducements necessary to max
le 1t one Of the foremost agriculture
D. counties in the United States and
need surprise nobody to see the ne
IL innovations give it q high place as
! model Of American progress an
es civilization.
ID Progress Typical of State.
o. Taking Sampson as an example an
,d broadening out to include the who
% State of North Carolina the strang'
I'D in Sampson reaches this conclusiC
II also-that while North Carolina h:
te in the years gone been set down as
q conservative Or even laggard Sta
IT in too many things, conditions a,
81 changing, and it is likely that tods
n no other State in the Union is maki1
o1 | swifter progress in all desirable dire
he tions than this old Tar Heel commo
ey wealth. The day was when you HI
tn to explain where North Carolina
bv when you told your friends about Il
re State on your journeys to other Sc
ev tions of the country. Today you do1
in have to explain or apologize, and
ng morrow people will want to crowd
ng and shake your hand because y
* hail from a State that Is setting t
"a pace in many ways for the real goo
lie, OF modern advancement and accol
its plishment.
