INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF
THE SOUTH

No one who travels far these days
in the Southern mountains, can be
mistake about the rapid industrial
development that is going on. Min
ing, numbering, the building OF
huge industrial plants are TO be
found everywhere. One is sur
prised 10 find so many pulp mills in
certain sections Of the highlands. The
thousands Of acres Of confer woods
are melting away before the lum-
berman's saw and the woodman's
axe.
Southwestern North Carolina has
long stood near the front in this
kind of development. A number OF
great pulp mills are rapidly con-
verting forests into pulp for paper
and the numerous iother articles
made from cellulose.
A most interesting industrial cen
ter is rapidly developing along the
Little Tennessee River in the border
region between North Carolina and
Tennessee. The Knoxville Power
Company is erecting immense power
dams in this locality. The electrical
power generated here will be
transmitted 10 the great aluminium
blant at West Maryville, to Knox
willie and many other centers.
This is hut one instance of the
many enterprises going on in
various parts Of the mountains
The wheels of industry are turning
in many Of the most remote places
A new order Of life is rapidly creep
ing into the valleys and upon the
plateaus. In a few years, many OF
the most remote places will be pene-
trated hS the railroads and stirred
by the whir Of machinery. The
people Of the remote valleys must
adapt themselves TO new order OF
things. Every force that gives
proper direction 10 the highlanf
youth in these changing times, viii
contribute largely 10 the welfare OF
the mountain homes OF tomorrow

AN HONORABLE CAREER
By Prof. J. r. Robertson

During a short stay in Henderson
vile, N. c., II was my privilege to
share in a memorial service 10 a
county official Of fifty years con-
tinual service.
Such a career is rare one and
merits more than passing notice.
Judge C.. NJ. Pace has served his
county for half a century, and is
still rugged and likely to continue
in Office for many years yet.
Although a Republican, he has en-
Joyed the votes Of both parties. In
the audience were men who voted
for him fifty years ago and expect
TO dc so again.
This faithful and upright official
Of his county has been Probate
Judge for his county and Clerk OF
the Superior Court The memorial
was given by the Bar Association OF
the county, which includes many
able men
Such a career OF honest efficient
service merits recognition and there
were present representatives from
adjoining counties and states and
IL was my own privilege 10 bring 10
the aged public servant the greet
ings OF the Commonwealth Of Ken
lucky.
An occasion like this is a con-
crete reminder Of the opportunity
that a county Office presents 10 one
who looks upon his position in the
right way and serves the public in
stead Of making the public serve
him: who has his hands on all the
affairs Of the people for good instead
Of having his hands in the pockets
Of the people, TO draw out what he
can.
II is fitting. too. that recognition
should be given 10 a public servant
while he is still in Office and alive.
Public service is full OF annoying
experiences and a public official is
a target for all kinds Of harsh criti-
cism. A word OF approval now and
then. when merited, is like oil which
soothes the frictions Of social life
and brings a more whole-hearted
and efficient service.

TRIBUTE TO REV. D. w. BROWN

lh letter received last Eeek
from Monroe City, Ind, the Rev. 4.
f. Young writes as personal friend
concerning the splendid work ac-
complished by the late Rev. ID.
Wendell Brown. whose obituary
appeared recently in our columns.
We quote a closing paragraph from
Mr.. Young's letter:
IN the passing Of d. w. Brown,
a circle of young preachers has
been broken into. who look back
10 the good old days at U. c., Bar
bourville, but may we all look for

A LETTER FROM DELBERT COOK
Written TO Mr.. James BURGESS

Camp Meade, Nd. Aug. "a, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Burgess
Pardon me for intruding upon
you by means of a short message
which ! shall scribble down whilo
at leisure here in one of the many
Y.M.C.A.s Of Camp Meade.
My pleasant memory Of you, as
one Of Berea's most faithful work
ers, prompts me 10 write a few
words Of appreciation for the in
terest you manifested in me while
] was In school, or working for the
College. | am unable 10 express the
full strength Of my feelings in be-
half Of Berea College and its earnest
workers, but just the same, my
heart goes back TO them, and in my
memory will always stick the i'm
pressions Of self-sacrifce and SER
vice which they have so success
fully planted there.
While I was at Berea, everyone
seemed to be Interested in me and
anxious 10 see that temptation was
gotten clear out Of my reach. All
influences tended toward good,
rather than bad, in that place Of
brotherly love, but in the Army, il
| come in touch with Christian in
iluence have 10 first spend a while
in earnest search and close obser-
walton 10 find il, and then 10 locate
a spirit Of service. usually have
to go 10 the "Y."
know that all the Berea boys
who arr in the Army must feel that
they are millionaires. because they
have been taught 30 use their con-
science and to rely somewhat upon
their own judgments. myself feel
greatly indebted 10 those faithful
few who have so carefully nursed
me into the stage Of development
where feel capable Of assuming
some worthy responsibility.
Army life is a pleasure for me,
rather than a drudgery, and I am
mighty glad that I have been con-
sidered worthy Of the service.
Mg duty, at present, is 10 serve
as assistant cook in the Machine
Gun Company Of the 18th Inf We
cooks endure a rather high tenn
perature in order 10 fix for the boys
a palatable mess. but we enjoy the
work and are always repaid by
watching the sun-tanned huskies
make away with the chow"
The machine guns now used by
the u. s. are something awful. They
will shoot seven hundred times a
minute. and their range is three
thousand yards. Last Monday
morning. my Company went out for
a little practice and each one was
allowed TO do some shooting. Imagine
| the excitement which this made Tor
us. because IL was our first ex-
pericnce with the gun. We moved
some stumps right Off even with
the ground.
There are many things Of interest
in the Army. and many are worth
mentioning. However. time does
not permit.
We bows know how TO appreciate
letters from friends back at home
because the letters are our friends
in the Army. Your kind words OF
advice and encouragement will al
ways he eagerly read and doubly
appreciated by
Your sincere friend.

committee or an individual to read
all official and unofficial military
news and to watch for any mention
of men from the community.
8. That this committee or in-
dividaul send on behalf of the COM
munity a letter to each man cited
for special bravery, expressing the
pride his fellow citizens feel in him,
and their appreciation Of the honor
he has brought to his community.
This letter Of recognition should
not be over a page in length and
should be in such form as to merit
permanent preservation. It should
be signed in the name of the local
Council of Defense, and should re-
cite the specific deed of heroism COM
mended. A copy Of the letter should
be given to the local newspapers and
clippings of the papers should be
mailed to the man in service.
a. That the committee also ad-
dress ain appropriate communication
to the next kin of all men of the
Of the community whose names
appear upon the Its of casualties and
arrange for some individual of stand
ing in the community to deliver the
letter in person.
I, Letters from men in service, shorn
of all reference to their organization,
accounts of special deeds of valor or
heroism and the names of men added
to the Honor Roll should be read at
patriotic community gatherings.
We believe that the time has now
come to see that each community,
through the Council of Defense, ar
cord generous recognition to all acts
Of heroism on the part of their men
in service by maintaining an Honor
Roll, and by giving personal recog-
milton to the distinguished service of
their sons and armed forces of the
nation.

Detectives With Their
Prisoners Returned
Today In Car Stolen
From Fort Worth
Thieves Arrested Here Wed
nesday Night By Local
Officers Prove To Be Cul-
prits Wanted In Texas
City

The two automobile thieves, ar
rested last Wednesday night by Of
ficers Guidry and Bourdier, were
taken back to Fort Worth, Texas,
this afternoon by Detectives E. B..
Penix and T. B. Archer of the Fort
Worth police department. o. j..
Moore, also of that city and owner
of the auto, accompanied the party,
which will make the return trip in
the stolen car The prisoners are
Charles Belen and Ira Newcomb,
boys, sos the officers report, with a
bad record in Fort Worth.
Their arrest here was due to a
singular coincidence. Chief Bulge
had received wire from the Shreve-
port policeon Tuesday advising him
that a stolen car from their city was
on it's way in the direction of Morgan
City. A description of the machine
was given and they were instructed
to watch for it. Chief Bulge notified
Captain Drackett and his ferry en-
ployees and requested they inform
him when such a car attempted to
cross the bay.
On Wednesday night car ans
wering this description was taken on
the ferry at Berwick and Capt. Joe
Anderson refused to allow the oc-
cupants to land until after the ar
rival of local officers. Guidry and
Bourdier arrested the two boys who
were in the car and notified Shreve
port authorities. The prisoners, and
the description of the car in detail,
did not tally with the Shreveport
records, so blanket information to all
large cities in this and neighboring
states was sent out, resulting in the
Fort Worth authorities getting line
on the boys for whom they had been
searching elsewhere.
With the exception of minor de
tails the cars stolen from Fort Worth
aad Shreveport were Identical in de
scription. The confscated auto re-
gained here is a Buick six, sixpas-

How The Two Rulers Recog-
nized Terrible Sacrifice
Made By Women Of Ger
many And America

Paris, JJly 30-A letter written
by the kaiser to a woman who lost
nine sons for Germany is now going
the rounds of the European press.
It is particularly interesting to
Americans beca use of the sharp con-
trast to the famous letter Of Presi-
dent Lincoln to Mrs. Bixby during
the American Civil War. The kaiser
is "gratifed," and sends his photo
graph.
Lincoln was grieved and it did not
occur to him that his piture would
relieve the desolatio1 Of Mrs. Bixby.
The kaiser's letter is as follows:
'IIis majesty, the kaiser, hears
you have sacrificed nine sons in de-
fense Of the fatherland in the pres
ent war. His majesty is gratified
immensely at the fact, and in recog-
milton is pleased to send his photo
graph with frame and autograph sig
nature"
Frau Meter, who received the let
ter, has now joined the street beg
gars in Delmanhors, Oldenbrrg, to
get living.
President Lincoln wrote this let
ter to mother who had lost five
sons in the Civil War:
Washington, D. c.,
Nov. 21, 1864.
Mrs. Bixley, Boston, Mass:
Dear Madam have been shown
in the files Of the War Department a
statement Of the adjutant general Of
Massachusetts, that you are thc
mother of five sons who have died
gloriously on the field of battle. I
feel how weak and fruitless must be
any words of mine which should at
tempt to beguile you from the grief
of loss so overwhelming. But I
cannot )refr5in from rendering to
you the consolation that may be
found in the thanks Of the republic
they died to save. / pray that our
Heaveny Father may assuage the
anguish Of your bereavement, and
leave you only the cherished mem
ory of the loved and lost, and the
solemn pride that must be yours to
have laid so costly sacrifice upon
the altar of freedom. Yours very
sincerely and respectfully.

Baton Rouge, La, Aug. Each
day some act of heroism is performed
by some Of our brave boys in the
service of their country. There is
no question Of the nations pride in

throughout the state:
/. That each local community

punctured tire the car is in very good
shape The officers expect to make
the trip to Fort Worth without any
trouble.
The boys did some rapid travelling
considering the many recent rains.
They left Fort Worth week ago last
Sunday night and were arrested here
on the following Wednesday night
The boys refused to state just what
their plans were except that their
destination was New Orleans. One
of the boys seems to be about 20
years old and the other II or 1S.

A. R. {. Director Here

Miss L. Agnes Daspit, r. N, direc.
tor of Nursing Service, 4. R. c., Gulf
Division, spent a couple of days here
recently the guest of Mrs. c. c. dc
Gravelles. Miss Daspit's visit was
in the interest of the Nursing Serv-
ice, and while here she motored to
Patterson, where she addressed the
student body of the ST. Mary Hospital
in behalf of the American Red Cross.
She enlarged upon the privilege
nurses have in serving their country
in this great war and urged each one
of them to enlist in the military
service
As response to her earnest APP
peal the nurses unanimously pledged
themselves to enroll in the Red Gross
at the expiration of their training.
Patterson is to be congratulated on
having training school Of such a
high standard.
Only five cities in Louisiana have
training schools which meet the re-
quirements of the American Red
Cross. They are: New Orleans,
Shreveport, Monroe, Baton Rouge
and Patterson.
Speaking of the great drive being
made for $4,000 nurses, Miss Daspit
stated $4,000 have already been en-
rolled during the first two months Of
the six allotted by the government
for the work The special committee
in charge of the work in Morgan City
have been much encouraged by the
visit of Miss DasEit and feel assured
that success will attend their efforts
The recruiting booth at the cor
ner of Gathright & Soumeillan will
be open for business throughout the
week. All applicants for nursing
service and any who seek informa-
tion are requested to apply at this
temporary station.
