This is wonderful story The Mes
senger tells in simple language of ::
great industry that has made the
sandhills of North Carolina blossom
like green bay tree 1t is a story
that reads like a page from book OF
fiction.
But what the Yankee has done in
Ncrth Carolina can be duplicated OF
probably surpassed right here in Dill
lei, county.
On the east side of Pee Dee are
thousands of acres of sandy land with
richer quality of soil perhaps than
the lands of Moore or Hoke counties
There should be a difference of abou,
ten degrees IN temperature in Dillon's
favor, thus making the Dillon county
crop of peaches from ten. days to two
weeks earlier. This is a big advantage
ill putting fruit and truck on tn,
market.
There are, however, other factors
to be taken into consideration besid
the quality of soil, temperatures. ac
feasibility to railroads, etc.
Peaches and other perishables can.
not be marketed to the best advan.
tage in limited quantities. The in.
dustry must be of such proportions
that shipments can be made in cal
load lots, and it would be well fo,
our friends on the east side Of Pee
Dee to form an association amone
themselves and see that each mem.

trees of the same quality to guaran.

Mr.. Edison recently promulgated

Mr.. Edison recently promulgated
a list of brain-teasing questions
which his press agents claimed were
necessary to test the mental ability
of college men wishing positions in
mis- laboratory. The scheme was a
very successful publicity stunt, and
1t got across. as they say. because
every Tom, Dick and Harry in the
country was interested in knowing
how smart-or ignorant-he was,
according to the alleged Edison
standard. Mr.. Edison himself cannot
be very cultured man, seeing that
he has Dragged much that he sleeps
only four hours a day and spends the
remainder of the time in his labora-
tory. He has had no time to swallow
the contents of an encyclopedia. Mr.
Edison's success rests on concentra-
tion; on being a specialist. His series
.of questions demanded a knowledge
on every conceivable topic, which is
the reverse of what made Edison sue
cessful. Edison is the greatest mas
ter on earth in mechanics, chemistry
and allied arts and sciences; but we'll
bet he can't explain the Einstein
theory well enough to make us un-
,derstand it.

PAY BIG DIVIDENDS

A few weeks ago we had some
thing to say about the peach indus
try in the sand hills of Moore county
n. c., and advised our farmer friends
owning sandy lands on the east side
of Pee Dee to visit this magis land
and get some first hand information
Oh the raising of peaches.
Two wellknown farmers visited
Moore county and were so we'll pleas
ell with what they saw that they
have made up their minds to go into
the peach industry on a small scale.
The Hamlet Messenger, published
within few miles of this great peach
growing section. says Moore county,
formerly one of the poorest counties
in the state, is now one of the richest.
Fifteen years ago lands in Moore
county had no value. They We're not
worth the taxes. Since that time the
peach industry has added five million
dollars to the wealth of this county
The length of time that a peach
tree will bear in the Sandhills has
not yet been determined" says The
Messenger. THE oldest orchard in
the section is 26 years old. 1t con.
tains fifteen acres. Last year it yield
ed $500 crates of peaches. These
trees have been dehorned only once
There is one orchard IT year:
old containing thirteen acres, which
has yielded In the last four years 81,
500 crates.
"One of the largest and most sue
cessful orchards in the district
which this year bids fair to exceed
any yield in it's history, is II years
old.
''The owners of the 26 year old or
chard, just referred to, are Of the
opinion that it will be good for al
least 10 years longer.
Last year a majority of the
peaches were sold for $500 per crate
F. o. B. freight cars. This year the
SandhIll Fruit Growers Association
expect to sell the earlier peaches for
$2.25 per crate and the late peaches

III We'd Had Advertising i'm the Time
of Mother Hubbard, Like that of
Today, Some Jolly Jingles Might
Never Have Been Written.

Never Have Been Written.
Has advertising made any differ
ence in life and manners? asks Rich
ard A. Foley, the Philadelphia adver-
tislng agent, in the New York Amer
ican.
or course it has.
The public, generally has been
lectured about it and told a great
deal about it. and perhaps some
times it makes dry reading, but let
us see if we cannot get another an
gle on the subject.
suppose for example, that advet-
using had been a real economic
Iorce IN the era when the Mother
Goose jingles were written-what a
difference it would have made in
those delightful rhymes of childhood
days.
For example, if in those days there
had been advertising, Mother Hub
bard's cupboard would scarcely have
been bare, because her housekeeping
would have been made easy by ad-
vertising. No doubt this is the way
the jingle would have read:
Old Mother Hubbard
She went to the cupboard
TO get her poor dog bone.
When she got there
She found seven kinds of trade mark
ed cereals, advertised prunes. rails
1ngs, oranges, cakes and cookies,
timed sardines, salmon, jams. jel-
| lies and canned soup.
That's the way she prepared for
her own.
Then there was the famous Jack
Spratt, the gentleman with the prima
donna appetite--advertisin would
have revised that jingle about like
this:
Jack Spratt he ate no fat,
His wife would eat no lean;
But they kept well fed,
Through the ads they read.
And they ate their platters clean.
'Dickery, Dickery, Dock" has
made us all think of mince, whenever
we see a hall clock:
The old woman who lived in a shoe
would have found equal comfort:
There was an old woman
Who lived in a shoe;
She had so many children
She didn't know what to do.
She got fireless cooker
And washing machine
And electric ironer-
Now they're fed up and clean.
Then contrast Little Miss Muffet-
who can imagine child today eating
any such foolishness as "curds and
whey. Here's the way it would pro-
badly run:
Little Miss Muffett
Sat on tuffet
Not eating curds and whey.
Instead, she ate cookies
And read little bookies
She saw advertised yesterday

OF CHINA IS
 NOW B0THER|NC THE BRITISH

LONDON, July 2G-A solemn warning on the menace to Britain of the "Americanization of China" :" is uttered by special far-eastern correspondent of the Daily Mail" who recently attended the 10th anni- versary celebration of the American Indemnity (Tsing Hual College in Picking.
 The college was established as a result of the United States govern memt remitting part of it's share of the Boxer indemnity.
 '"The boys here are Chinas future leaders," the correspondent says. and after pointing out that they all go to America after completing their studies in Picking. he continues:
 "Educated under the American system. aware that they owe their scholarship to American justice, and saturated with American sentiment by five to eight years residence in the United States, they will look to America solely for cooperation in the troublous years to come. Amer ica is rearing the China of tomor. row.
 Why should not we" Cthe British) he demands, share an influence that we formerly monopolized and that is now slipping away from us?" and he goes on:
 q asked returned student as we watched the boys at baseball why China did not look to England as an educational field.
 Sure we will he replied, when you remit the Boxer indemnity"
 The Chinese president of the col lege put it to the correspondent this way:
 "Chinese-American friendship has become so proverbial that few peo- pie take the trouble to investigate the cause of such good international understanding. Any country that wishes to captivate the hearts of the Chinese can do no better than follow the example set by America. 7
 B. LenoXSimpson, an Englishman, who holds the post of Political Ad wiser to the Chinese government and who is at present in London, writes to the Daily Mail' that the process of the Americanization of China is | very real one.
 Big business" he says, 'fs tend ing to go more and more to Ameri can firms, because the Chinese, be- lieve in favoring those who favor them.' and he concludes:
 'HThe helpfulness of America, not only to Young China, but also to Old China is a subject of common conversation throughout the immense Chinese, society which wills the far eastern continent. So far the re- suits of this have not been felt or understood in this country, but un- less we take speedy action we are destined to drop during the next 12 months to third or fourth place in the Chinese republic, and thereby affect our whole standing through out Asia"

MAKING OF MOVING
 PICTURES NOVELTY
 FOR ARIZONA TOWN

BISBEE. Ariz, July Making of moving pictures is rather a nov city in this part of. the country and Bisbee residents have difficulty in getting used to seeing gaudlly dressed western bad men" rushing around with artillery strapped on their belts.
 Some of the real old-time west erners are apt to jump at the wrong conclusion when d movie western err goes on the warpath. For this reason, a moving picture company, planning to stage a hold-up scene at the depot at Osborn, eight miles south of here, had the train crew warn passengers no less then ten times before reaching the station that movie train robbery" would be staged. In spite of this. several cid timers on the train reached for their hips when the bandits" ap- peared and had to be convinced by fellow passengers that the hold up was not the real thing.
