historic city Of Charlotte, Meckle A.
burg county, where American colot-
;sts first resolved to found an ind e.

movement is Inder way to make the
tow Carolinas largely Independent Of

This is the spirit. which dominates
in the second Made-in- Carolinas ei-
position, which was formally opened
by Governor Morrison of North Caro-.
lima and Governor Harvey of South
Carolina this afternoon.
Governor Harvey sounded the kew
note in short speech on coopera-
ton at luncheon of 300 men ahd
women in the club. room of Second
Presbyterian church today. Governor
| Morrison followed it up IN forceful
plea for greater devotion and supper,
of state government, which he showed
was the anly protector of the lives,
the property and the peaceful pur-
suits of the people. The national
government did not and could not
function in these spheres.

would first buy things made in his
own state and then give second place
to the other Carolinian state. The in.
dustrial prosperity of the two Caro-
linas would make them preemine lt
among the states. ~
