CLIMBING UP

Internal revenue collections, universally ac-
cepted as the key to the economic situation,
mounted in North Carolina from s312,3e1,
ss5.s7 in 1888 to ss13,4s ,233.0e in 1899. This
is the more remarkable in view Of the fact
that national collections dropped from $685..
613, 350.69 to s4,957, 04s, 03S.83 in the same
period. BY all counts, the showing for the
state is gratifying.
t the same time it is Illuminating to
learn, az an article from the Washington
bureau of the Raleigh Ne,cs and Observer re.
med from the tobacco industry, which report
ed a gain of more than s3,000,0 900 in taxes
paid. Obviously, North Carolina tobacco out.
stripped any other industry by a wide, mar
gin.
On the chance that the reflection may spur
greater effort among industrialists, it may be
suggested that If other activities had kept
pace with tobacco, North Carolina would to.
day rival, If not actually top, many Of the
nations key industries. Similar gains in gen.
eral agriculture, cotton and other natural
and manufactured resources would have given
the state a commanding position. And this is
desirable, not merely for the sake Of con.
t~ributing more largely to the national income,
a negative blessing at best, but for the ad.
vantage for every dweller in the state to be
derived from the greater prosperity.
Our own economists believe that Whining.
toms place in the world depends largely on
industrial development. We would do well for
the city to link our own opportunity with
the states, and press on to the higher goal
in unison with the state, for mutual benefit.

SOME TRAIN

Unexected support comes from Montgomery
for expansion Of meat packing in the South
Mr.. Tom McCoRD, manager of the Union stock
yards at the Alabama capital told a Dothan
Alabama, audience the other day:
Had all the pork and lard consumed in
the nine southeastern states in 1889 been
loaded into refrigerator cars and hauled by
rail in one train, it would have required
10000 cars to hold it. This would consti-
tute a train 900 miles long with the en-
CINE in Dothan and the caboose in Evans
vile, Ind. Fortunately, a good portion Of
this meat was produced right here on
the farms; but, nevertheless, we managed
to pay out approximately one million dol
lars per business day for meat and meat
products brought into the same nine
southeastern states from points outside.
ALI Of this money could and should have
been earned by our farmers.
The Stdr-NeWs has strongly advocated
meat packing house in Southeastern Nortl
Carolina. It welcomes this information as ad
ditional proof that the practice of shipping
cattle and hogs away to be slaughtered ant
sent back as meat and by-products is economi
cally unsound.

LETTING CAT OUT OF BAG

Mrs. RoosEvELTs young cousin ARCHIBALD,
sought her endorsement for O. resolution ex-
pressing sympathy for the Films which he
proposed to place before the American Youth

reply is significant. Said she: II don't think
you should adopt resolutions on anything you
don't believe"
If it is true that the First Lady has a
working knowledge of the principles and OBJ.

not believe in the Finnish cause. The natural
inference is that it does believe in the Rus.

fetz has been playing since he
was three. He figures he has play
ed something like 10, 900 hours and
has travelled more than a million
and a half miles, mostly by air.
This includes four word tours and
countless coast-to-coast journeys IN
the U. S.
You don't kick around the world
like this unless you build UP a pile
of interesting memoirs and come
back with a lot of curious GOO
dads. Two of Heiftez's most priced
souvenirs are a fiddle made of $500
matches, and a Chinese fiddle that
doubles as a walking stick. He got

There are moments when his

not true. They say he will go out

AS for his hands, though they

out heavy policies on their hands.
But Heifetz explains it this way:

perhaps this would impair by play

But his Strad and the Guarne
