On Thursday afternoon, Aug.
26. 1920, death came to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Avery Greene
and carried away the soul of
their beautiful little son, John
Clayton, aged seven years six
months and twenty-four days.
He was a child of unusual bright
ness; eager to learn and quick to
understand, having just entered
his first school, bringing as his
charge his little sister, Edith, o.
YER whom he exercised the most
solicitous and almost fatherly
care.
His illness was very short, las.
ting only four days. Through it
all he displayed the greatest pa.
tience, and sweet thoughtful,
fulness for those AROUND him,
his entire disposition seeming to
be that of one conscious that he
is nearing the Beautiful Home,
We miss him in the school. His
little school mates realize that a
sweet and gentle life has been
taken from among them, and in
their homes the memery of his
sweet face and bright smile will
ever be the dearest possession Of
the grief-stricken father and mo-
ther. 2
Our hearts ache when we see
his vacant chair and know that
he can never come to US again,
still a sweet voice seems to whis.
per to o,us that it will not always
be so; we can go to him some
time, and we know that he is
happy, perfectly happy, in that
Beautiful homeland of the SOUL

To say that the mail service be.
tween Boone and Lenoir is Rot.
ten in Capital Letters is putting
it mildly. The contractor, who re.
sides in Lenoir, put himself un.
der sufficient bond to the Gov.
ernment to warrant the carrying
of the mail on the schedule pro.
vided by the Postofice Depart
ment, which is to leave Boone
daily at $50, a. M, make the trip
to Lenoir and return to Boone at
$50, p. m. This, to be sure, is
quite an undertaking, but the
contractor so understood it when
he undertook the big job. When
the weather was fine through the
summer and fall, with plenty Of
passengers ut the exorbitant rate
of $4.00 for the trip to Lenoir,
the mail came in on time, and
there was no complaint of any
hardship, whatever. But, at the
very first hint of winter, condi-
tions quickly changed, and now,
for the most part, the mail that
should arrive here in the evening
comes here some time the next
day, and it is taken back as far
as Blowing Rock that night, ia.

All over North Carolina lead
ing men and newspapers are
taking q sympathetic interest in
the movement to "reclaim the
lost province" in the Northwest.
Men who know North Carolina no
matter where they may live are
convinced that this highway build
ing project is nota sectional but
a State matter. No greater boost
has. ever been given thecampaign
than the Asheville Citizen given
in the following editorial;
'.Ashe, Allegheny and Watau-
ga are veritable empires OF po-
tential wealth and Of sturdy citi-
,zenship that are questioned by
the laws Of geography against

sections of North Carolina. Trap

idents of these counties must
now against their own will and
to the modification Of their own
State pride turn their faces to.
ward Tennessee and Virginia.
The isolation that has been their
lot has retarded the agricultural
growth Of these regions and has
kept them in the class of 'pauper
counties. This northwesternsec.
ton which by all counts should
be contributing heavily to the
wealth and prosperity of the
State is rightful1y referred to as
constituting the lost provinces
Of North Carolina
''The only way to re-capture
this region for the State Of North
Carolina and to open it up to the
phenomenal development which
ID it's due, is to nulify the noun
tain barriers by constructing
good roads out of this section in
to other parts of North Carolina.
Permanent highways tieing Ashe
Allegheny and Watauga up with
Wilkes, Forsyth, Yadkin and Sur

outlet for the great deposit of az.
ricultural and civic wealth that is
imprisoned in these counties.

Coal is basic necessity of life. Without
Il. industry and consequently life on this con-
tinent would be impossible
Two groups are directly responsible for
the production of coal. and third group, the
public, is deeply concerned with it.
The coal beds of the earth. which the
Creator manufactured out Of sunlight and
vegetation when the world was very young.
are now in the hands of comparatively few
men. who own them for living. much
larger number of men-the coal miners-are
permitted to work in the mines which the
first group owns. in order that they. too,
NAV make a living. When the first group
permits the second to work, the rest Of the
people-the public-gets coal.
If the process efficient?
Coal production statistics compiled by the
federal trade commission from reports sub
mitted by 1881 mine owners for the month
Of March indicate an increase in the profit
per ton of Is cents. or 80 per cent.
So that the owners, at least, must consider
the process efficient.
The average cost per ton OF mining coal
was reduced per cent in March over Febrl-
ary. and the output per working day increas-
ed per cent,

Goals Basic Necessity, But Nobody
Seems to Care

Again the owners. ut least, should be salts
fled. They get more coal mined per work
ing day. ut less cost per ton in March than
in February, with an increased profit OF DO
per cent
How about the miners?
''The average number Of days worked by
each miner during March was given as 10
against II in February"
There were 81 possible working days In
March, the miners were permitted to aver
age 10 of them. Eight days of lost time;
eight days of no pay eight days Of enforced
loafing; eight days when the miners family
had TO eat but had no income.
That is not satisfactory to the miners. Is
Il any wonder they wanted a six-hour day at
the same rate of pay as for eight hours?
And the public? How about it?
Eight days of lost production out OF every
month in the year means 90 days OF no pro-
duction for the entire year. Has that any
thing TO do with the fact that coal profits
increased As per cent in a single month?
Is coal mining as at present conducted the
most efficient way for a nation TO manage
its power resources? 1t would certainly seem
better way might be devised.
