I . „ _______ ’ t; * V I Richard Spillaun lips written an in- | tereeting article- about -the success of j John I). Rockefeller, and he says friends of the oil magnate declare Ids i success hac been due to the fact that ! “he never missess' the ball." The writ- l er quotes another oil magnate who knows Mr. Rockefeller well, as say- > iag: . i ’ “There is no mystery about Mr. j Rockefeller's method of doing things. ; Anyone who follows the plain, logi- | cal system he has adhered to all the J way through must succeed. It is the j key to success, no matter what vour j calling may be. It makes me weary ( to hear men complain of lack of op- j portnnity. Only a few days ago a 1 gentleman moderately wealthy but dis-! gruntied because he didn't have great- i cr wealth, echoed an idea held by i many men. Tm just as able a man I > . ] as John D. Rockefeller, have as much I brains as he ever had. Bid I've never j. bad a chance.’ “Ife is right in part and wholly wrong in part. _ He lias as much grains as Mr. Rockefeller.. Lots of persons do have. Rut lie doesn't ust* j his brains properly, lie misses the i Ball. Mr. Rockefeller never does. The j difference between failure and success is in sometimes missing and alwuYs hitting.” He “then goes on to, explain that Mr. Rockefeller's golf playing; is like his business "tactics. lie says that he has played golf many times witlr Mr. Rockefeller: is a better player than the oil king, but that he seldom beats him. “I'm younger, stronger and more experienced that he is. but be beats life. Why is it? You must remember be didn't begin to play play until 1800, when be was a few months under CO. You * must take into ac count that he is an octogenarian how. And yet he beats me, although l do my darudest to win. lie wins because he never misses the ball. “Mr. Rockefeller’s success in golf is due to the fact that lie concentrates on it as if by winning the game or making the best possible of every shot were the most important of all things for him to do. lie is deliberate to a remarkable degree. Ilis back suing is the slowest, I l*»lieve, of any man. But I never, in all the years I have played with him. have seen him miss. And I have seen some of the best golfers in America miss at times. I could beat him hands down at 18 holes, but he never plays more than he will never overtax his strength. He plays to the limit at ’which hecau achieve the largest meas ure of success, but never beyond that. “Mr. Rockefeller in business was no different from Mr. Rockefeller playing golf. Hejiever was hurried. He al ways studied every move in every transaction before m iking the move. His genius as a business man was not in making mistakes. There is a proverb that the race is not to the swiftest, not the battle to the strong. Mr. Rockefeller always has been de liberate and Y methodical. Brilliant, no. To me his character offers one of the host studies for the youth of to day for—he never misses tjje ball.’’ His character, we think too. offers a tine stpdy for the young man. and we . have quoted tlie above with the hope that it would influence perhaps,, some young man. Deliberation, con sistency. playing to the limit of his physical ability, taking no chances, studying his every move seeih.to sum up the success of Mr. Rockefeller. The same characteristics will bring sue cesss to any of us.. It Is not so much a question of brains, for plenty of peo ple have brains as keen as Mr. Rock efeller's, but they have not followed his sane and successful tactics in us ing their brains. JANUARY CONSTRUCTION. According to the review of the building activity during January, just issued by the F. W. Dodge Company, construction activity during the month was 31 per cent, greater than it was in the corresponding month of last year. Total contracts awarded last month in the 30 eastern states of the country (including about seven-eights of the . total construction volume) amounted to $24,755,(MX). The record in 27 of these States shows increases of 1 per cent, over December, and of 31 per cent, over January, 1022. Residential construction constituted 51 per cent. of the January total, amounting to $122,095,fMH>, an urnis | ually high figure for tkat time of the [year. Second in importance were lms ! iness buildings, amounting to $36,332,- j O<K). which represented 15 per cent, of the total. Other important items | were: $28.042,000, or per cent, for ; public works and utilities: $23,152,000. or 10 per cent., for imlustrial build ings: and $10,802,000, or 7 per cent., for educational buildings. Also tasLjrfonth comtemplated work amounted to $513.280.000. which was more than three times the amount of I work started during the month. The ! enormous volume of contemplated work reported in December and Janu ary seems to indicate a heavy volume jof, activity in the coming spring [months. Total contracts awarded during Jan uary in the Southern States tinclud j big the C'aroliuas. Georgia, Florida. | Alabama, .Mississippi. Tennessee. ! Louisiana and Arkansas) amounted to ! $25,180,000. ’ - • j Included in the January total were 'the following items: $10,008,000. or'43 per rent., for residential buildings: $5,232,000, or 21 per 'cent., for business j buildings: 52.950.000 or 12 per cent.. | for educational buildings: $2,713,000, !or 11 per for public works and (utilities: $1.208,05p, or 5 per cent., for industrial buildings; and $2,172,000. or 8 per cent., for other classes of , structures. Contemplated new work reported during tlie month amounted to $124,- 061,000, nearly live times tlie amount of work actually, started during the month. The record for the Southern States compares favorably with the record from the other parts of the county, in-’ dicating that business conditions hen are as good as in any section of the Fnited States. Population considered, the Southern States during January did as much building as any section of the country. BA!) CHECKS. Something is going to ha ye to be done about the bad check matter. In stead of getting better the situation is getiing worse, and we hope the pres ent session ’of the General Assembly will enact some law to cover the case of the man win/gives checks knowing them to be worthless and the man who gives checks knowing he hasn't enough money in the bank to cover them, even though he has an account I with the bank on which the checks are drawn. It. is estimated that every three and a half minutes during the banking day a forged or altered check is cashed at some bank. This does not include the checks cashed for which there are not sufficient funds. We are not certain that this percentage holds good in North Carolina, but from the way the merchants talk, we believe it does. There is hardly a merchant anywhere who has not been pestered and impos ed ujion by the issuance of worthless checks. Every man who overdraws his ac count will not be arrested undere this proposed law, to be sure, but the law will give the holder of the chty/k and the bank on which it i$ drawn the right to prosecute, and they will not not take advantage of It, \ve believe. They are after a eertaiu class of check abusers, and they should have the au thority to catch this class, if possible. CABINET CHANGES AND REAS-. ONS. I * Washington reports indicate that Senator Fall wifi not be (he only cab jinot member to quit. "Mr. Harding's of ficial family soon. Secretary Fall will quit in March, and though lie says the press of private business demands that he resign from the cabinet. Washing ton knowledge says he is (putting un der tire. His management of the In terior Department has brought forth much criticism. Senator Harry S. New, of Indiana, is now slated to get Mr. Fall’# place, j Mr. New was defeated by a Democrat •in the last election, and for this reas •on Representative Wood, chairman of the Republican Congressional Commit tee, says he will fight the appointment. Mr. New is one of the many lame 'ducks President Harding will try to take care of since their defeat, and ! Mr. Wood says Mr. New was defeat ed and will have to “take his inedi- Icine.” | Secretary Denby is expected to re- Isign from the cabinet in the near fu ' ture. 1 He too, has been severely ’crit icised, and Mr. Harding probably will get rid of him by sending him as Am bassador to Japan. Senator Poindex ter, another,lame duck, would like to have a cabinet place, and he may suc ceed Mr. Denby. President Harding is expected to be the Republican candidate for Presi dent again, and he is going to have to do a lot of explaining before he gets half as many votes next time as he got before. The Republicans will have to choose him as ttyeir leader. If they ) switched ’to some'other candidate it would be a public confession of the disgust they feel for the Harding ad ministration. and tliqy want to make everyone feel that the Administration has Been a great - success. ' Things are not going along as smoothly as the G. O. P. leaders would have them move and* we bet Mr. Hard ing would give anything lie possesses to J>e merely the editor of The Mar ion Star again. FARM VALUES. Statistics recently made public show that while farmers , have witnessed a in the value of their real es tate during the past year, they have witnessed an increase in some other values with which they are vitally as sociated. This is particularly tiyie in "regard to livestock and The Charlotte News points out that “with the ex ception of the number id’ horses re ported on farms January Ist, 1023, all other animals showed an increase over (he number reported for the previous year, the largest gain'being in swiiTe.” The News goes on to show that “the total value of all animals reported on farms January Ist, 1023, was $5,111.- 256,000, compared with $4,799,170,000 January 1. 1022, or an increase in val ue of $321,080,(MX), or 6.5 pet* cent. However, on January 1. 1021, the to tal value of all arlimals was $(¥,051,202. and on January 1, 1020, $8,105,194,- 000.” In actual numbers horses decreased 203.000; mules increased 39,000; milk cows increased 373,000; sheep increased 882,000; and swine increased 5,590,000 from January 1, 1022 to January 1. 1023. In total value, horses decreased $29,180,000; mules decreased $8,843,- 000; milk cows increased $13,070.000; other cattle increased $87,404,000: sheep increased $104,304,(KM); and swine increased $144,251,000, from .January 1, 1923. BAPTISTS PASS THE $38,000,009 MARK Effort Will Be Made to Realize $75,- 000,000 Goal During Remaining Two Years of Campaign. From the beginning of the Baptist 75 Minion Campaign up to the present titmo cash in the sum of $38,420,441.79 has been collected on that movement, according to a report just issued by Ihe Campaign headquarters in Nash ville. \ This leaves nearly $37,000,000 addi tional to be raised during tin-, next two years if the original campaign goal is reached by December, 1024. when the campaign period expires, and tit tin- wid-winter meeting of the. Conser vation Commission plans were laid which it is hoped will result in attain ing that end.. More intensive educa tion of the members of local church es in tin*, work benig carried on by the denominations in the fields of missions, education and benevolences, and stewardship and regular and sytem atic giving was the. plan * devised for the accoinplisment of this purpose. - The. contributions to the campaign have been made as follows: Alabama $1,653,730.40 : Arkansas $1,1.65,153.35 : District of Columbia $143,564.70: Florida $600,016.02: Georgia $3,060.- 516.70; Illinois $320,482705; Kentucky $4,122.030.78; Louisiana *51,035,640.23 : Maryland $480,494,20; Mississippi sl,- 501,011.34: Missouri $1,537,007.49: New Mexico $170,008.36; North Caro lina $3,365,33.21: "Oklahoma $1,052.- 438.20: South Carolina $2,060,684.40; Tennessee $2.340.766.77; Texas $5,002,-; 105.32: Virginia. $4,102,802.12; Spe cials: Texas $1,223,040.55; New Mexico $403,062.t5; .Louisian $105,000; Ten nessee $192.853.25 ; Oklahoma 850 00: foreign churches $1,033.390; Home Board $15,340; Foreign Boaro $86,103. Upholding the Law. News and pbsevver. Attorney-4 of the bootleggers would do well to advise their clients to read that portion of Scripture quoted by Judge t ranmer yesterday when he sentenced the first man caught in ilie iccnt raid. It is from the second chap ter of Habakkulg, the fifteenth verse, and is in these?,words: “Woe unto jhim that gi-veth Ids neighbor drink, that fittest 4.bv bottle to him, aqd makest him drunken al so.’’ Then the Judge gave the bootlegger thirty months, saying: “I feel sorry •for your eight children, but I feel far move for the children of the 75.000 citizens of Wake county.” Good people will agiee with the judge. It is a sad thing to see a man sent to jail or the roads whd has children at home, it touches every warm hear. But wnen that man has sold poison to make brutes out.of the fathers of hundreds of other equally helpless children,4h3- duty of the courts is to protect those helpless children from the illegal vender of poison. Moreover the con viction and punishment of one viola tor helps to prevent others from be • coming criminate. r THE CONCORD TIMES MANY PROOFS OF ACTIVE BUSINESS ARE AVAILABLE Loadings cf Revenue Freights* t Nov Records Fo 1 * Season* —Securities Shew Strength. { New York, Feb. 11. —Optimism over, the domestic situation continued to be the dominating factor in tlie fi nancial markets of the past week.' Securities showed much strength and the prevailing impression .in vVal street was that the upward move ment largely reflected the reports of* 1 increased industrial activity and the satisfactory annual financial returns which now are being; published. Meanwhile there was a tendency to feel less anxiety over the foreign situation, while distinct satisfaction was .expressed over the encouraging' progress made in coming to an agree ment with Great Britain in the matter of funding that country’s debt to the United States. Many proofs of active business are available. ■ For one thing loadings of revenue freight by tlie railroads con tinue to set new records for this sea son of the year. In the week ended January 27, some 871,000 cars of Ire gilt were loaded, this figure exced ing the total i for thfi same week a year ago by 131.000 cars and that in the comparable week of 1920' by 68,000 -cars. The gains are distributed, furthermore, among the various classes of traffic, thus emphasizing the genera! character of the improve ment. i[ Reports from the steel industry con tinu to be of particular interest. Pig iron production during January totalled 3, 230.000 tons, which is prac tically twice the tontiage of January a year ago and corresponds to a dai, y rate of, 104.000 tons. This is the high est rate attained since October 1920. and compares with the all-time record ct 114.000 tpns made in September, 1918. Interest also was displayed in the fact that the y steel corporation’s unfilled orders increased - 165,000 tons in January, despite the fact that the corporation's plants are now opera ting approximately CO per esnt of capacity. Increase in demand for steoi pro ducts is so marked that some obser vers are alarmed over its Rapidity. As the. mills are wc l booked for several months ahead and are anxious to enlarge orders and secure early delivery, prices still show a tendency to rise. It is stated, however, tiiat speculation is not a factor in the larger demand and that all interests are "anxious to keep- the situation from getting out of lnpid. Taken al together, recent developments have led stee! markets to take a decidely optimistic view of their orcspects. Whereas a short time ago confident prophesy* did Ilor extend beyond the first quarter of the year, it now em braces the second quarter as well, while feelings about next autumn's business are hopeful. Confirming other favorfablC indi cations, Ihe general level of com modity prices held firm during Jan uary. Both Dun's and Bradstreet’s indices rose slightly. The interesting feature of the movement was the dis parity shown by different groups oi commodities. Farm products reacted after earlier' advances, but prices Sf commodities utilized in industry were generally higher. ‘ Effects of the vagaries oN the Turkish situation have been mosh ap parent, not unnaturally, in the cotton market. Liverpool has betrayed a cer tain amount of uneasiness from da" to day and this feeling has found a reflection in the market on this sole of the water.- Wide fluctuations have prevailed according as to whether the news has suggested a clash or, as uni formly been the case, reported tht avoidance of une w Meanwhile, the southern spot markets have held firm and the undertone has been good, particulady when the size of previous advances is taken into account. Grain prices rallied appfeciably during the week and reached new highs for the present movement. No. change has been apparent in die statistical position, but speculative sentiment is better than recently has been the case. New bond offerings, last , week to taled $71,556,100 against $41,010,000 the previous week. For the second consecutive week there wove no new issues in the railroad or foreign de partments. - . * One development was the clearing away of a large part of the unso’d securities that bad been occumulat iug since the many issues in January. A contributing factor in the change of the market situation, it was said was the increased purchasing of securities by foreign buyers seeking to transfer part of their wealth into securities that had been unaffected by political oi* economic development; abroad. Moderately heavy buying was reported from Amsterdam, evidently for German' account, as many of the orders were accompanied by instruc tions, to deliver the purchases in Lon don. Price of listed bonds moved up in sympathy w-ith higher stock- prices. Foreign government municipal sccmd ties showed further recovery from, recent heaviness and United States government issues turned upward in response to the favorable develop ments in connectin with the approval* of the British war debt funding plan. Speculative railroad mortages again led the advance in that group, while sugar company liens were the out standing sfiong spots in the induc trlal list. Bethel School Honor Roll For Third Month.

ASSEMBLY FACES WEEK OF GRIND Anti-Masking Kill and Giles Farm Loan Measure Ready to Re Report ed From Ctuwnittee. -Raleigh, Feb. 11.—With but three weeks of the regular session remain ing, the general assembly tonight faced a \ves4c of strenuous legislation. The senate, with the Varser sinking fund bill recalled for further con sideration, and the Baggett anti masking bill somewhere in a com mittee with the Giles farm loan measure, looked, forward to a week cf rapid-fire work to keen abreast with the daily, incoming legislation from standing committees. The house presented somewhat different aspect. Besides the regular Monday night session, two other night sessions have been set. On Tuesday night, as a special order the iMilliken bill to regulate secret orders >wi 1 come up for action Already more than a dozen amendments to the bill have been prepared, but members closely connected with the legislation announced they would oppose amendments furtive. than those of the hill which opponents have <? aimed were unworkable. 4 The substitute senate jneasure for the governor's ship line proposal is also on the calendar and although It has hot been for special order, a warm fight is expected before the measure is finally disposed of. The other special order bib in the house which will come up for action on Thursday night, is the Bowie mil to provide for a railroad through Ashe, Alleghany and coun ties which now have no direct rail road facilities. The legislature investigations of the state department of labor and printing and the state’s financial condition are drawing toward a close. The pointing .cammltte is. pxpected to be rend-;_4o repo-'-, this week, while no . nredietions ha»o been made in the matter of the financial committee re port. That latter is holding executive sessions, and has employed auditors from New York and Philadelphia to go into the books of the state tresur er.
