Bi Re-.. J. A. YOUNT, Pastor- or in V OTHERS BOOSTING NORTH cl: CAROLINA gT. North Carolina continues to at- m tract the attentioij and mouse the interest of the nation's capitalists fr and investors, in increasing num- fa hers. As an instance of what, is go- tu ing on outside the state with refer- ct ence to Nortli Carolina's develop- M ment and progress, the Observer re-! th reived a letter the other day from a j 5t native ami rormer resident of thejwl state, but now living in New York | th City, calling attention to an mlver-j tisement in the New York Times, | which he says he rend on his way to Vi his office that morning. The ad- A vertisement, four columns wide and of about 12 inches deep, was signed by se Rogers, Caldwell & Co., oi' New York la and Nashville, Tenn., and was de- w< signed to attmct the attention of in- it vestors to securities issued by North pr Carolina and other southern states, cities, railroads, utilities and eorpo- Vi rations. In largo type the advertise- cu me.nt in the New York paper pro- hi| claimed: an "North Carolina, the Fourth Slate ed in Productive Wealth. th "Herbert Hoover recently said: an 'North Carolina has made more R? yf economic progress in the la-; few sh \ years than any other state in the nation.' "To he specific: North Carolina is now paying the fourth largest amount of federal taxes among the states 01 the union. It mamifnetur- v> ed products'worth more that) one j . 'oillion dollars in 1926. It now gene- /*' rates the fifth largest amount of 1 ? hydro-electric power of all the = states. It distributes this electric ? power and light over the most extensive transmission system in the world. "In this state is the largest towel factory, the largest underwear plant,! the largest hosiery n-.ills, the second! largest aluminum plant in existence. Here 28 per cent of America's furniture industry is located. It? tobacco industry is the largest. It has silk mills, tiic factories and hundreds of other industries?well diversified in all lilies of manufacture." Thus North Carolina is getting much desirable and valuable ' publicity in other sections without cost to the state or her people. Interests outside the state now ?ie paying good money to attract attention of r capitalists and investors to the presr* eiit-daj economic progress of North Carolina. Investments in good roads and hydro-electric power and education did it?Charlotte nt.e?e ?, ' PUBLIC WORKING ON COVE - CREEK SCHOOL GROUNDS On Friday, November 4, patrons and friends of the Cove Crdek high school are asked to bring their teams and give a day's work on the school grounds. Several have already furnished teams for one or more days pnd we appreciate the work that has been done. The high school building is practically completed and the grounds should be leveled before moving into the new building. We should also like to have two or three trucks to haul sand and gravel for the walks. To test samples of fabric for fastness to light, cover - one-half with cardboard and expose the rest to direct sunlight for ten days. To test A for fastness in laundering, wash and dry half your sample udder ordinary conditions. Certain material should be tested in these ways before purchasing dress goods when possible. =^?:===_===?== News of the Week j About Blowing Rock' | Ccnlract for New Oorniitory at Nor- j mm\ Will Not: Be Avxrded Until Spring Blowing: Rock, Ivoy. 2.?-The new\ prl's dormitory at the Appalachian { >tate Norma* at Boone will :tot bel ftsrterl before next spring, as tacl rustees have failed to obtain aj citable contract, said Thomas H-i ?offey of Blowing Rock, chairman j >f the board.

O. P. TO MAKE LEAGUE OF NATIONS IS55J1 .itVashirigtc-ii. Oct. 31-?The bloc ? progressive Republican senator from the went* headed by Senator Borah and Nwrif; has .started out ti ^vanize into life for the prcsidiein tiai campaign the League of Xaiion: and the World Court as issues. The! motive in making thi?= move, it is: re ported, is to eliminate both formei Secretary Hughes and former Cover nor Lv>wdei> as probable- choices o1 the Republican convention. Thej will fight the nomination, and -i Qominatcd the election of any candidate who, as president, xvtay cause this country to become involved if "entargiing alliances" with foreign countries. It appears that the hostility to the league and the court is ire only ground on which all this group of western progressive senators are agreed. These senators are not together in their plans for farm ?efief\ Senator Borah, who is now reckoned the guiding star of the Woe, is unalterably opposed to the equalization fee in the bill. Senator Norris now seems only lukewarm for the equalization fee which he supported ?t the last session of congres. Senator BrOokbr??-t r,f Fjr._r.r-i u- - ? * .. .vwa, nae iiomeu a farm relief bili of his own, with the :qualization fee left out. Senator McXai y. of Oregon, one of the nitIhors of the MeNnry-Haugen bill, tontinues to hob! on to the equalization fee. Senators Novberh and d('Masters, of South Dakota, have .eased their insistent demands for he bill, but Norbesy hr.s declared 'or Lowden. There does not seem to be any mmediate danger that the friends of he League of Nations or of the iVorhi Court can bring about a sit union whereby the United States will te "threatened'' with membership in :ithcr of these bodies. The irrecottilabtes, chiefly among whom was senator Borah, effectively blocked he joining of the league on the part, if the United States seven years ago.] lornh. again leading the irieconcil-1 tbles iif the senate, succeeded ini acking on the membership of the] Jnitcd States in the court such dratio reservations that the European intions wouid not accept our memicrship.

Mr. Dougbtor. said he lavored tnt abolition of the autcniojl bile taxes, and a material reduction 11 of corporation taxes, and he was hopeful that congress would take aj similar view of the -itnation.
