Know North Carolina

(From the Commercial Appeal)
The st. Louis Globe Democrat re-
minds some of the Western States
that vaunt themselves much over
good roads, that North Carolina has
pre-eminent record in good roads
building.
The experts say that North Caro-
lima is next to Pennsylvania in the
quality of its highway system. North
Carolina has a program involving an
expenditure around $90000,000. 1t
has more than 5000 miles of hard
roads.
Among the other records North
Carolina has are these; Leads in
the manufacture of tobacco. 1t con-
sumes one fourth OF the tobacco
crop in the country. 1t has more
cotton mills than any other state in
the Union. In the number of en-
ployes and in output North Carolina
leads all the other Southern states
in cotton manufacturing. 1t has the
largest pulp mill in the country and
the biggest aluminium plant in the
world.
North Carolina has large water
power possibilities. Tennessee has
greater water power possibilities.
North Carolina has little coal or
iron. Tennessee has both.
While the Globe Democrat calls
North Carolina to the attention OF
Missouri, we might well call the
same progress to the attention OF
the people of Tennessee.
North Carolina is homogeneous
Tennessee is divided into three parts
North Carolina has fierce politics, but
after the men are elected to office
they try to do something for their
state.
The mental caliber Of offceholder:
in North Carolina is higher than thai
of officeholders in Tennessee.
We might learn much from oul
neighboring state. A committee from
the Tennessee Legislature this yeal
might go over to North Carolina anC
study that states record program
and other things subject to legisla
tion nich are factors in the grea
adv. .ment of the Tar Heel State

Judging by Annearnnces

4 good many years ago there was
certain able judge In Illinois whose
appearance was less impressive than
his learnhs. He was extremely
cross-eyed, and his hair was a bright
and unruly red The judge was not
at all sensitive and enjoyed repeating
jokes that were at his own expense.
His favorite story was this:
He had been out on a duCk-hunt-
ing trip among the marshes south OF
Chicago, and his rough shooting cos
tune did not add dignity to his ap-
pearance. Toward the end of the AT
teEnoon he was trudging along the
road on his way home, hot and tired
a wagon driven by liehtning-rod
agent--a more common vehicle in
those days than now came along,
and the judge asked the man If he
would give MIN lift
The agent looked the hunter over
rather suspiciously He was evidently
not enthusiastic. AT last ne said.
Yes. If you'll climb on behind there.
you can ride on the ladders
so the judge climbed OF, and they
ratified along in silence for several
miles They came then 10 a watering
trough, and as the lightning-rod
agent was watering his horse a man
drove up who knew the judge well.
He called him by name an dtitle and
asked what luck he had had with his
gun.
the lightning-rod agent listened TO
the conversation with interest When
he got back on the scat he said. Did
that fellow call YOU judge"
Yes"
What are YOU judge of horse
flesh?'
NO, I'm a judge Of q law court :
"What kind Of a COURT"
"A district court
Back East it takes some consid-
cradle man TO be a Judge. How big
is your circuit" ?"
"0h, it reaches from the Wisconsin
line to Peoria.
The man said only one thing more
while the judge rode with him. That
remark followed a few moments re-
Election and couple of loud cracks
with his long rawhide whip. He
said:
Il believe I'll settle down here in
this part of the country myself and
get made a judge! youths Com.

The Franklin ButtcnhOles
(From the Youths Companion.


A recent candidate for Congress
Mrs. Ellen Duane Davis Of Phila-
delphia-is the great-great-g grand
daughter Of BENJAMIN Franklin. Dur
ing her childhood she spent eight
years with her grandmother, who had
been named for Franklin'S wife De-
borah and who was the child Of his
daughter Sally.
"She used to study her lessons
alongside of his bed after his return
from France" says Mrs. Davis, who
had listened TO the when-I-was-a-
little-girl "reminiscences of the old
lady many times. "She was not born
when he went. When he got back
he was really broken-down man.
and he stayed in his bed a good deal.
My grandmother had chair placed
by his request alongside of his bed,
and there she used to learn her les
sons. He would turn to her and say.
Debhie, have you learned that line
of spelling Ard she would say.
No. grandpa, no; ye, She would
study little more and then would
say, Grandpa, am ready. Ii she
iec.ted properly, he would give tea
spoonful OF currant Jelly. He always
kept a glass of eurrant Jelly along
5 de his bed.
Long before tha;. when her moth
er. Sally Franklin. was h,tle girl
and was sitting sewing. her father
asked Sally, what are you trying
to do?' Sally said. i am trying 10
make a battonhole.' He said. Don't
you know how to make buttonholeS -
She replied, NO, | do not. He did
not say another word, but the next
day he came in and said. Sally, |
have made arrangements with my
tailor that you shall go to him and
learn to make buJtonholes.
Mrs. Davis was able 20 add, with
just:tiable satisfaction; The button
holes that Sally Franklin made have
descended to generations younger
than. We al make Franklin button
holes, and they are regular tailor
made buttonholcs, of which we are
very proud.

The SOuth's Supremacy.
(From the Gastonia Gazette.)

(From the GaStonla GaZette.)
The supremacy Of the South in tex
tiles is not due to the fact that the
cotton mills are located in the cotton
fields, which is popularity supposed to
be an advantage. Northern mills get
their cotton about as cheap as South
ern mills, as David Clark, points out
in the Southern Textile Bulletin. By
reason of low water rates, New Eng
land mills get cotton at fair prices.
The real reason for the supremacy
of the Southern mills is in its en-
ployeeS.
The greatest asset of the Southern
cotton mills is the character of their
employed helpers, all of whom are
pure-blooded Anglo-Saxons, speaking
the English language and with none
of the bolshev.k traits of the foreign
born operatives of New England.
The climate Of the South requires
less fuel for heating of the homes and
less expensive clothing, and the soil
permitting the operatives to raise
their own vegetables, the cost of liv-
ing is much less than that of the New
LllbldHu operatives.
The Southern operatives live in the
mill village at a rent of 25 cents per
room per week, often including lights
ard water, while the New England
operatives usually live in houses rent
ed from individuals and pay several
times that amount in addition to the
expenses of lights and water and Of
ten street car fare 10 and from the
mills.
Is it any wonder that the Southern
operatives can live better on less
wages and are content to live in the
mill communities whereas the New
England operatives are continually
leaving the mills for other kinds of
work!
Fall River, even today, is manufac-
turing print cloths on plain looms and
trying to compete with the automatic
looms of the South and always the
Southern mills have been quicker to
adopt Improvements and labor saving
devices.
The cotton manufacturing industry
of New England is not going out of
business but will specialize more and
more while the South expands in cot
ton manufacturing along ordinary
lines and also advances in the manu-
facture of fine goods.
The great market for cotton mill
machinery and supplies will be n,the
South.

discuss the intimate details of his

is that DR.. Shimp is suing for di-

His complaint was filed this
morning in the Hammond superior
court by Attorney J. H. Fetterhor.
Dr. Shimp says mis- wife has an
ngovernabic temper. Every now
and then she would lose control of
1t and would make wrongful accu-
sations against him. She would
call him vile and indecent names.
She is said to have exercised an
unusual curiosity concerning MS
practice and would want to know
all about some of his cases. He
would refuse and that would pro-
woke new storms of wrath This
continued until the doctors peace
of mind was greatly disturbed 1t
decreased his efficiency and ham
pered his practice. They separated
