(By W. P. LAWRENCE) Riuiday's (Deoember !») ^'ew ) ork Trihiiiic carried two sections of the paper in pictures of tlie industrial pro gress of the Caroliiiaas—mainly North Carolina—and also an article in Kie fourtli section written by Mr. Harry F. Iiak'r, of the' 'J'rihune staff wherein he mnlv.es the North Carolinian see himself, iiuliistricnily at least as others see him. Such sphMulid showing as is given in this pnvticular edition of this great metropoli tan daily will tend to turn the eyes of the nation to the Old North State and ils forging-ahi'ad industrial life in a new light. Another luminous article dealing with the educational and industrial life of North Carolina appears in the American Rerif'w of JicxieKH for December 1023. This article was Avritten by Mr. AVilliam 11. llichardson, ]>rivate sceretary to the Governor of North Carolina. Mr. Rich ardson is a lawyer and is also a trained newspaper correspondent. It is said that not only his own splendid gifts produced this excellent, fittingly illustrated article in the Revicivs of Reviews but that he had the sym])athetic co-operation also of Mr. Albert Shaw, the oditor-in-chief of that magazine. Below is a quotation from the yew Yorh Tribune article cited above. The entire article is surcharged with informa tion even for Carolinians. Mr. Baker, the author of it, was on the scene and got first-hand information before writing. ^Vlult he says, therefore, is trustworthy: “Observers ai'e prone to differ widely over the advantages that the South offers as a textile center in comparison with the North.

The one thing upon which both Northerners and Southerners in the trade seem agreed upon is that the Southern mills, being mostly of recent establish ments, have more efficient machinery w’ith w'hich to operate. “Any discussion of the South as op posed to the North as a textile ceutcr opens up a wide field of argument into which sentiment and bitter feelings often are injected. “Leaving aside the arguments, the fact remains that the total value of the an nual output of the textile industries in North and South Carolina is now ap proximately $1,2-").').815,000. North Car olina alone holds second place in all states of the Fnion in the amount of its production of cotton goods. “Industrial growth may be measured fairly closely by bank deposits. Com bined bank deposits in North and South C’ai'olina have reached -$528,375,285, a gain of 04 per cent over 1918. “Also illustrative of the rapid indus trial growth in this section of the South is the fact that the number of textile mills within a 100 mile radius of Char lotte, N. C., grew from 150, twenty-five years ago to 770 this year, operating a total of more than 10.000,000. spindles. This grow’th has been duplicated in Greensboro and other textile centers in the district. The industrial growth of Charlotte, alone is reflected in an increase in population from 40.000 in 1920 to 05.000 in 1923. “In order to further aid in the de velopment of North Carolina, citizens of the three cities of Greensboro, Winston- Salem and High Point have worked out a plan or co-operative development to be applied to their cities and the territory surrounding them to be known as the Industrial Triangle of North Carolina. An imaginary line has been draw’n in a circle w’ith a 70 mile radius and this tri angle as the center. Within this circle, it is said, production of all the factories amounted to .‘ft3(r>.OfM).000 in the year 1922. The government census for 1909 gave the production of factories in thia section as .$27,000,000. Similar statistics are quoted for specific industries, for bank deposits, express and post office re- c('ii)ts and other barometrics. from which the general conclusion is drawn that this section is one of the most rapidly grow ing, industrially, in the country.” For half a century North Carolina has had one hand shackled w’ith poverty and the other with illiteracy, but such facts as are published to the world in the two articles cited above indicate the State’s mind to break aw’ay from both of these shackles and be free. The magazine article contains the statement that the problem of adult illiteracy for a long' time challenged the best thought of edu cational leaders, but it has been met with marked success through the estab lishment of scliools in industrial centers and in many rural districts throughout the State. Miss Elizabeth Kelly, super visor. tells of one woman who learned to read and write after she was seventy years old. The incentive that prompted her was a desire to read the Bible. These schools hiixa a total enrollment of over 12.000 A brief space, such as is alloted here, does not serve to do more than cite the reader to the articles that prompted these notes, but it is evident from the quota tion just given and from this further statement of Mr. Richardson’s, that Mr. A. T. Allen, superintendent of public instruction in the State, presides over the expenditure of .$23,000,000 annually for free education throughout the State, it is evident that the State means to break the shackles of illiteracy. Too, with freedom from illiteracy will come a larger freedom from the shackles of po\’prty. NEVELE CLUB MEETS Mrs. Paul S.
