MR.. ALFRED TELLS
HOW CORD IS
REELED

J. NJ. Alfred, popular Hickory citi-
zen, burst into print in New York
The other day in the Pennsyivaaia
Register, a hotel pffbffiirut tfpn RI ilItsSl
and distributed especially for i its
guests. Record readers will agree
that the story is unique. Here it is:
The Virginia Reel, SO long the fav-
6rite of the young and old enjoyment
lovers, has secretly led a double life.
She has entered the industrial world
and has been successful in it for many
years.
The fact was revealed yesterday bv
Mr.. j. M. Alfred. Of Hickory, North
Carolina, a guest of Hotel Pennsyl-
vania, and General Superintendent of
the Granite Cordage and Twipe Com
pany.
San interesting thing about the
manufacture of cord" said Mr.. Alfred,
s:is that sash cord is braided in the
exact design of the Virginia Reel. The
man, in fact, who first manufactured
sash cord copied the movements Of the
Virginia Reel in braiding it.
The secret was out and the indus
were laid bare!
each thread continued Mr.. Alfred,
lis wound in and out in Virginia
Virginia Reel dates far back into
history, and the first braiding Of sash
in that way is beyond recollection
Other cords, Mr.. Alfred said. are
braided after the style of the may-pole
dance and others.
In regard to the manufacture of cot
ton Mr.. Alfred said that cotton is
displacing many fabrics and is sue
eessfully initiating others.
"More than sixty per cent Of the
fine pure wool out of which suits
and skirts are made. is cotton now
adays. Of course, you know that most
silk stockings are cotton; mercerized
silk has long been standardized"
Mr.. Alfred. whose company manu-
facturers the cotton into cord and
twine as it enters the Piedmont dis
trict from the cotton fields. threw a
new light on the menace of the boil
weevil. He pictured that cotton
scourging pest, which is so great an
annoyance to the Southern planter and
commercial cotton dealer, as litter of
profits rather than a shrinker of
them.
"The boll-weevil," he said, "nlay
cut down the crops bit, but because
of its presence the cotton grower
pushes his prices up, thereby making
much larger profit than he could
cap under normal conditions. Al
shougn each Individual crop is smaller
it commands more money than it
would were it a larger crop with a
lower market price.
Mr.. Alfred, who arrived here cleo
ttion dav said that he considered all
the elections now but question OF
"wet and dry, no more, no less.

GREAT BUILDING
PROGRAM
WINTER
-fsv the Associated Press.

-Tsv the Associated Press. -ys>ss
X Chicago, Nov. 15.-More than the
Usual amount of winter activity in
y gliding with residential work. tax
lug a prominent part, is indicated in a
survey of activities made by the
American Contractor, in twenty-sever
states forming the main northeastern
part Of the United States.
Valuation of the 2141 contracts
awarded for the week ending Octob-
or 90, reached total Of $64 ,34S, 400
and was but slightly lower than the
weekly average for the first nine
months Of this record breaking year,
says the publication.
''The volume. of contracts awarded
curing the last two weeks of OctoD-
er, which are normally dull, shows
that there is expectation Of less let
up than usual during the winter per
iod," the paper states. "There are
incontrovertible facts which snow
that building activity is in no danger
Of q slump for months to come.
Contemplated work reported for
the week ending October % uctalcd
s1OO,662 900. For the corresponding
week of 1921, this total was only
$50 ,922, 600 and the valuation of con-
tracts awarded was only $51, ,718,6O0
Yet the fall of 1921 was considered
a good opener for the spring season
of 1922.
"Of the contemplated work for
that week, S46,491,20O is for residen-
tial building as against $12,331 goo
for business building and $7,025 800
! for industrial building. While the
demand for residence building has not
diminished and will not diminish for
some time, there is little business
and industrial building going on and
a period of business expansion will
add these projects to the field. In
addition there is much educational
and governmental building in obey
ance which must be done soon.
"Skilled labor will be scarce rext
wear as it is now. Indications are that
no reduction will be made in wages
of common labor which is all alb
sorbed. Material men are PRODUCING
at increased costs. The demand fol
labor and mterials in the spring vii
equal the supply. From such facts
definite logical conclusion regard.
ing future building costs can be
drawn by anyone"

SECTION

At the regular semi monthly meet
ing of the board of directors OF the
Chamber of Commerce Tuesday night,
a resolution was adopted instructing
President j. A. Moretz to extend an
invitation to the special legislative
committee now Investigating the pro-
position of constructing a railroad in
to the "Lost Provinces or the coun-
ties in the extreme northeastern part
of the state, to visit Hickory and per-
nit the citizens Of this section to pre-
sent the claims of route through this
section. The route suggested contem-
plates construction of road from the
present. terminus of the Carolina and
Northwestern at Edgemont across to
Shull's Mills, where it would connect
with the Eastern Tennessee and West
ern North Carolina railroad. II the
invitation of the Chamber of Com
merce is accepted, it is proposed to
hold mass meeting at which time
data and maps showing this route IN
detail will be presented to the COM
mittee.
Among other matters acted upon by
the board at Tuesdays meeting was
the adoption of resolution instructing
Secretary Link to suggest to the sec
retary of state that copy of the au-
tomobile laws Of the state and the rec
ognized rules Of the road be sent out
to each applicant for license next year.
The board is also investigating the
proposition Of buying automobile signs
advertising Hickory which will be sold
to car owners at actual cost. No def
mite action has yet been taken on
this matter but a report is expected
at the next meeting.
A request that the Chamber Of Com
merce underwrite $500 of the anti
cipated cost of putting on Community
Service in Hickory for the ensuing
year was presented to the board.
After hearing a report from the
treasurer a resolution was adopted
expressing the regret of the board that
the financial condition Of the organiza-
ton at this time would not justify
them in undertaking this obligation,
especially in view of the fact that the
advertising committee is now at work
getting out booklet advertising
Hickory which is expected to cost IN
the neighborhood Of $6O0.0O Photo
graphs illustrating number Of the
handsome buildings Of the city, streets,
good roads,, agricultural scenes and
other attractions Of this section are
now being collected and it is hoped by
the committee that the booklet will

Chamber Appoints Committee.
(BY H. W. L1NKy

Plans for a joint celebration of the
completion of the Newton Hickory
link of the Central highway, expected
to be turned over to the state by
the end OF the year, were discussed
at meeting of city council last night
and the use of the large auditorium
for holding any exercises was tender
ed by council. Alderman S. A. Isen-
hour made the motion to cooperate
with Newton, the county and all orga-
nlzations interested, and it was car
ried unanimously. Mayor Yount was
instructed to act for the city.
INSERT PLAN CELEBRATION
The matter was brought before the
directors of the Chamber of Com
merce last night and it was suggested
that probably Conover would be a
more convenient place for. the cele-
bratlon, barbecue being the most
suitable, it was Thought. Geo. w.
hall, vlce-president, named Watt Shu-
ford, Euberty Lyerly and Roy Aber-
nethy as a committee to cooperate
with Hickory Newton and Conover
organizations and other agencies.
Former Mayor J. D. Elliott, who
will become member of the county
beard of commissioners on the first
Monday in December, said today that
the whole county would be deeply
interested in the completion OF the
hlghWay, and he was sure the new
board of commissioners would take
suitable action.
1t has been suggested that the
present board of county commission
ers, Of which Osborne Brown is chair
man, be invited to. participates sin. the
celebration. Those members of s
board who cooperated with the staff
by responding to the desire OF the
people OF the county should receive
proper recognition, and honor will be
paid them.
Since the weather will be uncertain
IN January and since the auditorium
IS the largest assembly hall in this
section of the states, an invitation
will be extended to hold the celebra
ton IN it. Efforts will be made to
bring Frank Page, chairman of the
state highway commission, Commits
sioner Wilkerson of Charlotte and
others here for the celebration. 1t is
believed Mr.. Page, who is a very
busy man. will be- able to come.
Burke and Caldwell citizens, also
deeply interested in the Central high
way, will be asked to take part and
impetus may be given the Hickory
Blowing Rock highway, which is one
OF the hopes of. this section of the.
state.
Details* Of the celebration well be
worked out by Secretary Link and the
directors of the Chamber of Com
n1erce.
Neil w Clark. president of the
Merchants association, will bring the
question of celebration before
