versal's powerful story which opens
an engagement at the Carroll the
alter morrow, with Walter Hus-
ton, Kent Douglass and Helen
Chandler In the featured roles.
The story Is laid on the storm
tossed Northwestern coast of the
United states, where thin veneer
OF civilization covers the elemental
passions OF both men and women.
A situation fraught with POSSIBLE
tiles Is brought about when burly,
domineering Seth Law secures a
wife through an advertisement in a
matrimonial magazine and the
bride promptly falls in love with
his son. This boy has a sensitive
nature and is the very antithesis of
his father. The struggle between
these two brings into play all the
moral. psychological and physical
force Of both.

wanted to tell him that, brutally
and cruelty. She desired that he

passionate, accusing words. She
said only that she would dress

Her voice sounded fiat and tame.

MAIN STREET HOPE OF NATION

The Manufacturers Record comes to the de-
Tense of the small business, expressing the opin-
ion that Main Street, not Wall Street, is the
hope of America.
The Record printed an article setting forth
the huge part which retail stores in small cities
have in our national trade. In cities less than
10000 populations and adjacent rural areas,
sales reach annually the amazing total of $751;
$4,000, 900.
"Here is the backbone of the country's bus
iness and not on Broadway or Wall Street,"
The Record exclaims. "Giant buildings and
stores may be less numerous, but the modest
stores enjoy regular business; the pay rolls of
the small factories are less liable to shrinkage,
and the depth of depression has been by no
means proportionate to that into which the
great cities fell.
1.-THE small industry, the retail store, the
small city and its surrounding rural mmu
ity represent the best of America.
"Those who spend their lives in the great
market places get distorted views often in
times of stress. A visit to the outside, to the
smaller communities is almost a sure way to a
renewal Of faith and confidence.
1.-THE country, fortunately, is learning anew
the Importance of the small unit in our COM
MERGE"

WORSE THAN THE WAR

To the Editor:
The Sino-Japanese war is just an

Which will it be? Will the chinks
get the Nippon the Japs, or will the
Japs get the Nippon the chinks?
The Chinese are making a telling
boycott on japanese trade. Japan does
not like this-it means ruin to her.
Since when has a nation a right to
compel another to trade with it by
force of arms?
The Japs have yet to learn that
might does not make right and that
treaties solemnly entered into are not
mere scraps of paper.

Hon. O. Max Gardner,
Governor of North Carolina.

My dear Governor:
1t is interesting to note that there is
considerable agitation in South Caro-
lima for installment paying of taxes,
quarterly for instance, instead of all in
a lump once a year. 1t is pointed out,
as a part of the argument, that when
the present system of paying all state,
city and county taxes once a year was
adopted, the burden was not great, as
it is now.
In these days of heavy tax burdens
and scarcity of money, it certainly
would be a relief to many people if
they could pay their state, county and
city taxes quarterly as they are per-
mitted to do by the federal govern
ment in paying income taxes. All the
revenue is not needed at one time for
use. Why not recommend such a plan
to the next legislature?
At the last session of the legislature

LET US FACE THE FUTURE WITH
CONFIDENCE

CONFIDENCE -
Having profited by the experience of 1881,
American business is in better position to carry
on in 1882. The past year was a difficult one,
but it had its valuable lessons, and those bust
ness concerns able to weather its storm find
the new year with less perils because they are
better equipped to meet emergencies.
Many are looking to 1882 with renewed con-
victions of increasing business. Such convic-~
lions are not based on hope but on unusual or
ders and l%essening of unemployment. Orders
that have been placed recently by various in
dustries through far-seeing men who are con-
fident of the future are:
The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com
pany placed an order for a million dollars
worth of steel rails.
The Carnegie Steel Company recalled $500
employees.
Republic Steel Corporation, American Can
Company, and Libby-O wens-Ford Glass Com
pany have announced recalls of employees.
Six tin and five sheet mills at Follansbee,
West Virginia, have recalled 700 employees.
Steel mills in the Wheeling district have re-
called 1000 men.
On October 81, 1881, the Association of
Cotton Textile Merchants reported a three
year high of untitled orders, representing an
incease of 51.7 per cent. over September.
Construction permits in New York increas-
ed $4,000, 900 over the same period of 1880.
The Marquette Cement Manufacturing
Companyereported a II per cent. increase in
October over September and a Is per cent. in
crease over October, 1880.
The Willys-O Overland Company reported
October sales 81 per cent. oyer October, 1880.
Fiske Rubber Company has ended a long
shutdown by recalling 1000 men.
Recently the Chicago Yellow Cab Company
purchased 1000 cabs costing some 81, 00o, 900.
Ford Motor Company recently employed D.
500 idle residents Of Detroit.
The Pierce-Arrow Motor Company recent
ly employed 500 new men.
The American Car and Foundry Company

The Union Pacific Railroad has recalled B.

The Overseas Railway has ordered two ships

Capt. C. D. Farmer, Chief,
State Highway Patrol.
My dear Capt. Farmer:
The official report showing that on
ly IS persons were killed and $40 in
jured in North Carolina traffic acct
dents during the month of January a
compared with 80 killed and 476 in
jured in December, is very gratifying
This marked reduction represents a diff.
ference of more than 400 a year in thu
number killed, if the January recorc
should be maintained.
However, as Chairman Jeffress Of
the State Highway commission says
the number killed and injured is en-
tirely too large yet, and every effor,
possible should be exerted to further
reduce the slaughter. While the Jan
uary figures are encouraging wher
compared with last DEFENDERS record
it is not so gratifying as compared with
January of 1880 and 1881, when the
number killed was So and 81, respec-
lively.

Mr.. E. B. Jetfress, Chairman,

Gentlemen:-
You should have the cooperation
and moral support of motorists gen
orally in your statewide campaign,
launched the past week, against glar-
ing headlights and other defective
Lighting of motor vehicles. The cam
paign is very timely, because any one
who has done any driving at night
lately must have observed numerous in
stances of defective lights, particular
ly glazing headlights and cars being
driven with only one headlight, all of
which tends to increase the hazards
of the highways. In this campaign you
should have the full cooperation of all
police departments in the state.
