May 23—The fur ore of discontent among those who failed to get invitations to a garden party for the king and queen of England here June 8 reached such a pitch today that I>ady Lindsay, the hostess, told women repciters with a smile; “Ladies, my head is bloody but unbowed." While unrest mounted among the congressional wives and others left off the list of the 1,359 elect. Lady Lindsay, wife of the British ambassador.

In recent years the growth of lespedeza has greatly enriched the soil. There are many kinds of min erals In Wilkes county none, of which have been mined to any great extent. Mica and feldspar hare been found In large quanti ties and mined to a limited de gree. Before the hnlldlng of the rail road there were no factories In Wilkes county excepting a few to bacco factories and saw mills. Since that time about thirty fac tories have been 'built and are now operating In the Wilkes- horoa. On account of favorable labor conditions and cheap sup plies of raw materials most of these factories have made good money, enlarged their plants and aided In the construction of other factories. The different factories onerating here include among other things a large steam tan nery. chair factory, mirror fac tory. knitting mills, cotton mills, portable corn mills, saw mills, furniture factories, casket fac tory, ice cream factory, bottling factory, roller mill, and factories supplying building materials. Wllkes county is one of the biggest apple growing sections In the state. The outlook for the growth of this section Is very flattering. don COFFEY. Jr. Fifth Grade. North Wllkesboro School.
