School Notes

The first Basket Ball Game Of the
season with an outside team was play
ed with the Nashua High School last
Saturday night. Nashua has strong
stalwart team of husky players, but
they have the disadvantage of not
having gymnasium in which to prac-
tice regularly. If they did not have
this handicap the Nashua boys would
make the larger school teams hustle
to hold them down. The score was

North CaroIina's Vast Lead.

Some inspiring revelations OF
North Cardinals industrial sup
remacy are embraced in Clark's
Annual Spindle an d Knitting
Machine List, which appears in
this weeks edition of Southern
Textile Bulletin. One fact of par
ticular interest to the textile
world is that the year has mark
ed the passing of South Carolina
by this state in number of spin
dies, in which the Palmetto State
has held place above North Caro-
lima. The existing status is s.
07O,756 spindles for.this state a.
gainst 4,9s7, Ais for South Caro-
lima. But it would seem that is
only a starter, because, when out
standing orders are in, North
Carolina will have taken a lead
that would make catching up by
any other State appear a hope
less task. North Carolina has
477,OOO spindles "on ORDER" ag-
ainst 1910 for South Carolina.
1t is explained by The Bulletin
that this state of affairs has been
brought about by the fact that
the cotton manufacturers of S.
Carolina conceived the idea four
years ago that prices of machin'
cry and building were too high
and that they would wait for a
lower basis But, instead of low
er prices there has been steady
} increase and the cost of building
a mill is now much higher than il
was in 1914. North Carolina nov
has 477,939 spindles under con
struction, far larger number
than any other Southern State
the next closest competitor beins
Georgia, with 1882. Nortl
Carolina leads the South in knit
ting machines in operation, tn
=, number being placed at 19,29l
Tennessee being second, but
long way behind, with $500. Ant
! again North Carolina leads il
knitting machine increase, hay
: ing installed 1860 during tn
> past year, against 679 for Tenn
essee, the next highest in rank

A Litter Of Pigs. Or a,PoIItIeaI Puzzle.

Once upon a time there was an
old SOW that was blessed with a
large litter of beautiful piglets;
and she was very proud of them,
for they were all of the mascu-
line gender. She was wont to lay
in the comfortable slime of her
domain, let the little squealers
crawl over her large hulk, and
think of the promise that lay be-
fore them. With a mothers natu-
raj pride she watched them as
they crawled about, feeling their
way gingerly as if they were not
quite sure of their footing. Thus
she watched them grow from
day to day. metimes one would
gain in weight and another would
lose, and vice versa. All the things
that usually befall a large litter
of pigs befell these. There was
the sad day when the mother
rolled over and killed several of
the most sickly. She did not
grieve long, however, for there
were so many others to feed and
look after. At times human be-
ings would come to the sty and
admire the fine family.
One of the little suckers seem.
ed to puzzle the visitors a great
deal. They looked at him as if he
were a freak. They would PROD
him with a stick, and he would
musically and run to his mothers
side for protection. The little
fellow grew with unbelievable
rapidity, and his brothers looked
on him with envy. The big sleel
human beings had become daily
visitors, and different groups o
them seemed to have their favor
ties among the little pigs. Thu
little pig that grew so fast, how
ever, was not easy to befriend
they would offer him sugar out o
their hands, but he would onl,
sniff it contemptiously and rul
back to his mothers side. All O
the human beings seemed anS
ious to make friends with him
but the bashful little fellow wa
apparently afraid of them. Th
old SOW loved him a great det
and watched his rapid growt
with pride. When he would ru
to her side she would nose hil
caressingly and grunt: "He-rrl
He-rrb, Hoof, Hoof." And the
the politicians, for that is wh'
:, the human beings were, woul
shake their heads and walk ava,

Baptist Leaders For Hoover

Several days ago The journal
called attention to the strong sup,
port given Mr.. Hoover for the
Democratic nomination for Pres
ident by Charity and Children,
one Of the most widely circulated
Baptist papers in the State. We
are now pleased to see that the
Biblical Recorder, official organ
of the Baptist denomination in
North Carolina, is equally strong
for Hoover. That paper says:
"How about Mr.. Hoover? The
politicians do not want him, but,
Judging from the expressions we
see in the press, it looks as if the
people do want him.
Mr.. Hoover says he is not a
candidate, but that is not against
him. Indeed, we believe the mass
of our people do not care much
about what a man processes to
believe, politically, ifhehas shown
capacity to do things, and this
Mr.. Hoover certainly has done.
If neither party knows justwhere
he stands as a party man, and if
either could nominate him on the
platform which he has announced
it looks as if the people would be
srtistied with his platform. 1t
may be that there will be such a
popular demand for Mr.. Hoover
that one of the parties will be for.
ced tonominate him, andperhaps,
the other endorse him. That
would be a strange thing to hap
pen in American politics, but
this is a day when strange things
are happening.
"People have become sick and
tired of the way politics is being
played in Washington. The Pres
ident and the Senate are at log
} gerheads while the world is or
fire. The masses are getting
quite enough of politics, an(
= would be willing to take someone
for president who does not have
, the reputation of being a 'shrew(
: politician
OF course, Baptist leaders nev
+ er ..enter politics in their officia
S capacity. 1t is against the funda
mental principles of the Baptist
0 denomination to mix church ant
e state, but the personal influenc
). among Baptists Of North Carroll
Il ma of the editors of those two de
d nominational paperers is tremer
dous. What they say about Hoe
S YER will ,carry great weight ia
y and wide among both Democrat
= and Republicans. Their outsp(
b ken attitude is but another proc
IS of the big and growing followin
n Mr.. Hoover has in North Carol
t. ma for the Democratic nomin;
It ton.
re Just now it looks like thOs
y leaders who have heretofore bee
a able to WELD most effective inf
I'd ence over the Democratic Sta
s. Convention will stand for an u
W instructed delegation to Sa
n Francisco. That would be Il
st next best thing to sending Nor
ar Cardinals delegates solidly
ke structed for Hoover. If our del
as CATION goes uninstructed we b
n lieve it can counted on to join fc
al cos with those who want to pi
n a winner. Hooveris that. - Wiz
