ed the bonds closely and knew
their true value.
Such a premium is the ex-

bond buyers in buying bonds Of
small towns, and shows the pro

Of Clayton to be greater than is
usual with most towns Of an

WHERE THE GOLD COMES FROM

Somebody recently asked: whence
comes all the gold that is being ship
ped to this country? How does gu
rona scratch it .up?" The answer
came promptly. This country a
added about $500. 100000 of gold to its
stock in the last two years, but in that
same time the world has produced
+wice that amount in new gold. just
about a billion dollars worth of gold
is added to the worlds stock every two
years.
1t seems like a big store, n 1t IS.
Yet the wheat crop of this country is
worth this year more than the World'S
production in the last two years
a-sood dead more. This country's cot
ton crop is worth nearly twice as mucn
ner annum as the whole worlds goIo
crop. Our corn is worth pretty nearly
fo1r times as much as the whole
worlds gold; sometimes more, some
times less.
They say that because the countries
IN the allies side in the a controI
abont all the worlds new gold prouc-
tion they are certain to win. PERHAPS
that is SO: but q better reason IS ina
thev have free access to the production
of +he American farms, which is sufl-
c-e1t to account for their increased
activity in every directlon.-FaFHi

MariOnS BIG Cotton Mill.

The secretary of state has allowed
an amendment to the charter of the
~Clinchfeld Manufacturing Company
raising the capital from 100000 to
$1,000, 900.
The new stock issued will be used
in the building of the No. Z mill of tnis
which will cost over 100000,
and will be equipped with 26 900
spindles and 600 draper looms.
The power plant will be a steam
turbine electric drive and vii be built
and equipped to furnish power for
10000 spindles and 1000 looms. 1t is
planned that the mill building will o.
arranged so that an addition may be
built at small expense to hold the full
10000 spindles and 1000 looms.
The No. 2 mill when completed and
fully equipped will cost around the
sum of one million dollars, and Will
give employment to 4G6$r 500 people.
Mr.. D.. D. Little, the president of
this company, started tho Marion Man
ufacturing Company in 1909 with TO-
600 spindles and 240 looms and he has
built the Marion Company up to SO, 1000
spindles and $40 looms and when. he
completes the addition to the Clinch-
field mill he will have put into oper-
alton in this county over 100000
spindles and 1850 automatic looms,
at a cost of over 50, 800, 900, and in a
period of less than ten years.
Mr.. Little, although an adopted son
of this state and county, has every in
terest of his mill community at heart
and also of the county and State and
nndeavors to join in the welfare Of
anything which tends to the upbuild-
ing of the county and town of his
adoption.-Marion Progress.

AN AGE OF CARELESSNESS.

AS individuals We all want to live
the full length of the natural life, but
are careless Of the welfare of other
people. Men shoot down their fellows
and the balance of us sit on iuries to
clear them. Or if convicted sign petit
tons for either Communication of sen
tence Or pardon. forgetful that such
lax administration of justice lowers
respect for law and makes every life
less secure.
In the old country people have a
greater reverence for authority be-
u law is generally executed with
the certainty of convieting criminals
and punishment is swift and sure.
Men think seriously Of consequences
before they engage in lawlessness and
are thus restrained in -large measure
from deeds of violence.
In rural communities crime is gen.
orally less prevalent than in crowded
and congested cities, yet last year
there were in staid and conservative
North Carolina, with a population al
murders as in the city of London,
which contains more than twice the in
habitants of this state.

dentally in the United States than in
any other land where a decent civiliza-
ton obtains. 1t is a fact that our
average death rate from accidents is
100 for every day in the year, and
every tenth funeral is the result of &C
cident. The deaths from accident in
this country are six times greater than
in Europe.
We are reckless in. the construction
of railroads and in the running of
trains. Our railroad crossings are a
constant menace. They should be
guarded with such care as to entirely
prevent accident and foOtmen should
be prohibited from walking on rail
roads. In the old country no grade
crossings are permitted in town or
country. Every highway crossing is
either a bridge or an underpass II
this arrangement IS the salvation of
thousands. Such a system here would
largely reduce deaths from accident.
Many automobile drivers are reck-
less and incompetent, yet such per-
sons, often children with no expert
ence or judgment, are permitted to
drive these engines at dangerous
speed along our highways, importing
all other travellers, so that deaIhs
caused by their recklessness are OF
daily occurrence.
The passing of more laws is the
panacea suggested for all our public
shortcomings. and they do help some,
but most of the calamities which shock
us daily are due more to thoughtless-
ness and the don't care spirit OF
these times.
Parents, teachers and employers
should emphasize the importance of
safety first" upon those who come
under their care. Human life is, Of
great value to us and to others and
every mean should be taken to pre-
serve it. It's protection should COM
mand the support Of all men, not only
from the lowest, selfish motives, but
because Of that higher and unselish'
interest which every true man has for
the welfare Of his neighbor.
