thority as contributing much to this
increase, by extending the markets
for refrigerators and all other cleo
trical appliances. There were con-
structed during 1888 some $500
miles of rural line, serving more than
5000 new customers and potential
refrigerator buyers.
Ordinary Life Insurance Sales:
The North Carolina increase here
amounted to six percent as against
eight for the country. 1t was exactly
the same as in the South Atlantlc
group. This resulted from normal,
steady, though unspectacular growth
of the insurance business in North
Carolina, Representatives OF the in
duStry agree.
Value Of Checks Drawn: Here
North Carolina doubled the national
average with eight per cent to the
entire cOuntry's four. The South At
lantic division showed five per cent
increase Increase in this item indl-
Gates. according to bankers, general
pickup in business Of all sorts, re-
flecting as it does the value OF al
most all business transactions in the
aggregate as most payments OF ali
sorts are made by check.
Electric Power Output: This item
went up % per cent in North Caro-
lima against 3 in the nation and 16
in the South Atlantic division. Ac-
cOrding to figures at the Utilities
Commission the increase was uniform
and steady in almost all lines of pow
er prOduction-reside business
and industrial power. Here, too, the
extension of rural lines to more than
5000 country customers played a
part in the increase, Mr. Granger
agrees.
Heavy Construction: North Caro-
lima more than doubled its first-half
1888 figures in this item, the exact
increase reaching 40 per cent. Pri-
marily responsible, of course, W9H the
big PWA program of public build
ing construction undertaken as the
result of the extra session of the
General Assembly in the late summer
of last year AS the result of the more
than S6,O00,000 made available by
state bond issues and PWA grants
in aid. there was q really important
heavy construction boom. COmpara-
tive size of this states PWA pro-
jects and those of other states is
shown by the national heavy con-
structiOn increase of only "a per cent
Many other states. however, had re-
ceived their PWA gravy earlier.
The South Atlantic divisions heavy
construction increase was 94 per cent,
with South Carolina going up 204
per cent, and the District of Colum-
bia no less than 80.

It was understood some cOnsidera-

Indications appeared to be. however,
that all would open at the same time,
probably on Monday or Tuesday,
October 8 or 10. which is the first
of the week tolloWin the releren-

1t was reported that the sales COM

whether the referendum carries or
not. Sales ceased on Middle Belt
markets on September l3 after op-
Grating only three days of the sea-
son. Eastern North Carolina and BOr-
der Belt markets closed the previous
day after being in operation several
weeks. The Old Belt has sold no to-
bacco this season so far.
Under the crop control plan, if
approved, the flue-cured production
in 1910 would be restricted TO $780,
100000 pounds, of which about 400
million pounds would be North Car

A brief comparison of other items
shows:
Passenger car sales: North Caro-
lima sales were up SO per cent for
the first six months, compared with
a national increase Of 45 per cent.
OF all the states, North Dakota alone
showed a decrease in these sales,
with drop of five percent. Michi-
gan, where the cars are made and
where so many buyers 90 to get their
cars, showed the biggest advance, no
less than 100 per cent. The South
Atlantic states delaware, Maryland,

50 per cent, just one less than this
state.
Gasoline Consumption: North Car
olina up nine per cent, against an
average for the nation of six and for
the South Atlantic states Of eight.
This increase had been clearly indi-
Gated by steadily increasing gasoline
tax collections in this state each
month, with the last fiscal year set

Household Refrigerator Sales:
These moved up 81 per cent in North

One of the greatest exemplars
Of the scientific investigation
which has made this country real
ly great and COMPOUNDED the
prophets of doom and despair has
just died at an advanced age. DIR.
Charles S. Palmer was the inven-
tor of the Cracking" process for
separating oil into gasoline, fuel
oil and lubricating oil. This was
back in 1900. He sold the pro-
cess in 1916 to the Standard Oil
Company Of Indiana.
1t is a human interest touch
that although the process is basic
in the development Of the gaso-
line industry, DR.. Palmer never
owned an automobile.
He once explained that he got
his idea back in 1889. He said
that crude gasoline had been found
in its natural state in the earth.
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1939-12-22

with the result that he practically
created the gasoline industry as it
is known today.
On this development rested, in
turn, the vast motor vehicle in
du5try, and thus the world was
literally transformed by one gen.
Jus working in a laboratory.

ican history, such a genius has

He accomplished this objective
by using a slim steel cylinder in

Is there any occasion at any
time anywhere that gives such an
Impression of color festivity and
pure happiness as our Christmas .
Does the world produce it's equal
as a picture and a spectacle?
Though this picture is seen in
some modest or even humble
home, it has an abundant light
and radiance. Even the simplest
little Christmas tree has it's love
illness. It's eternal green, the deli
cate tracery Of it's foliage, the
symmetry of those little branches
and twigs, the wonder of a crea-
tive power that could draw that
beauty out of some stony hillside
are something to lift the magma
ton to high admiration.
Then when that tree is illumin-
ated with the lights of the season,
with ornaments adding their gilt
ter, what could be nicer in the
house of king? The joyful play
which they throw themselves into
the Christmas games, the eager
ness with which they dance around
while awaiting their long antici-
Dated gifts, does human life pre-
sent any prettier sight?
In the churches, there Is a scene.
of glory. Even the little rural
church, bare and plain under or
binary circumstances, takes on
new charm as the tireless work
ers adorn it with evergreen from
the fields and woods. The choir
singers caroling forth their an
thems, the organ laundering forth
its praises to God, add atmosphere
to this picture and send thrills
into burdened hearts.
From these scenes of delight we
emerge the day after, a bit tired
with all the excitement, but cheer
ed and comforted by the joy that
has been given, and the delight
of manifested friendship. The
scene will long linger in our mem
cries.
