OUR TEXTILE LEADERSHIP.
“The South has not only wrested lead
ership from the New England section of
the country in cotton manufacturing,”
says The Charlotte News, “but it has
leaped so rapidly to the forefront and is
continuing so rapidly its processional to
supremacy in this particular that there is
little chance of this pre-eminence ever
being taken away from it so long as such
t favorable conditions prevail in this local
ity. )
“And with the growth of cotton manu
• -t • |
facturing proceeding under such auspic
ious circumstances, it would seem logical,
at least, to assume that the South’s devel
opment in other lines of manufacturing
will likewise be speedily boomed.
“The imporftant thing for Southern in-!
, terests to do now is to look irrtmediately i
i toward the development of finished goods !
lines. Therein is the South weak.
“Just as it was natural for the section j
of the Country that grows the cotton to j
develop into the cotton manufacturing j
fnecca of America, so it is just as logical
that the -cotton' manufacturing center
| should become the finishing gOods empor
ium also.”
More and more, we believe, manufac- j
Hirers of the Suth are seeing the neces
sity of establishing plants to finish their
goods. In this county practically all
cotton goods are finished and in other
Southern localities the trend is in the
same direction.
_ In the textile directory of the Southern j
Railway just issued it is shown that there !
are now more spindles in operation in the t
South Jhan in New England and that j
cotton mills of the cotton belt consume 70 1
per cent.-, of the cotton manufactured in :
America. The City Builder, the publi-;
cation of the Atlanta Chamber of Com- I
merce, recites the following facts and
figures relative to the situation:
“While heretofore, New England has
led all other parts of the United States j
in cotton manufacturing equipment, on
Marcli 1, 1927, there were 183,738 more
spindles in the South than in New Eng
land mills. In all of the Southern States
there are now 17,936,264 spindles, or !
47.95 per cent, of all of the machinery en- j
gaged in spinning cotton in the United j
States. '
“The continued southward movement
of the cotton textile industry is shown by j
the fact that there was a net increase of
189,140 spindles in the South and a net
decrease of 656,604 spindles in all other
States in 1926. The number of spindles
outside of the South reached a maximum
in 1922, since which year there has been a
net decrea.se outside of the South of 1,-
512,695 spindles, as compared with a net
increase of 1,971,883 spindles in the South
in the same period. Mill construction
- now under way and in sight for 1927 in
dicates that by the end of the year the
South, having already pased New Eng
land, will have nearly or quite 50 per j
cent, of all of the cotton spindles in the
United States.
“The discovery lists 1,080 textile plants
of all kinds in operation at points served
' by the Southern on January 1, operating,
13;397,047 spindles, 261,362 looms and 49,-
567 knitting machines. During the year,
including those under construction at the
end of the year, 180 additions were made
eto existing plants. Cotton mills at points
jf "Served by the Southern contain 73.79 per
' cent, of all of the cotton spindles in the
cotton growing States.
“That cotton manufacturing is profita
ble in the South, under trade conditions,
which compel shutting down or curtail
ment in other parts of the Country, is
shown by the fact that in 1926 Southern
mills consumed 4,757,902 bales, or 71.16
per cent, of the total consumption of the
United States, While mills in all other
States used only 1,928,562 bales or 28.84
per cent, of the cotton consumed. Lu
1926, the Southern mills, with 17,1136,264
spindles in place, operated 61,520,349,555
spindle hours, while mills in the other
States, with 19.468,208 spindles in place,
operated 35,480,024,187 spindle hours. In
other words Southern mills with 47.95
per cent, of the spindles worked 63.42 per
cent, of the total spindle hours in that
year.”
PAY YOUR DEBTS, SAYS BABSON.
“The year 1927 is a good year to get
out of debt,” says Roger Babson, noted;
economist in a letter to the business trade
of America. “Now is the time to pre- i
pare for future opportunities. Safeguatd j
your profits. Protect your indebtedness,
insure your family by leaving them 4reC ;
from notes and mortgages to pay.”
And pay your bills, further advises Mi
Babson. Read the following from Mr
Babson:
“One of the healthiest signs in the pres
ent situation is the campaigns which are
being made to get people to pay their bills
promptly. In several cities the retail
merchant associations are making defi
nite efforts along this line. The Nation
al Retail Association is prepared to sup
ply Any local body with a series of news
paper ads. which the retailers of the city
can well afford to have inserted in the lo
cal paper. Some cities are using a *Pay-|
Up Week’ similar to the ‘Clean-Up Week’
which has been existing for some time.,
In some cities the Retail Trade associa
tions have K threatened to publish the
names of delinquent customers, the same
as a club woyld post the names of those
w T ho do not pay their club dues.
“It is said-that in some small places
the Women’s clubs have been earning
money by receiving commissions from
merchants for collecting overdue bills.
Some would think that this is an unfav
orable omen, but to me it is distinctly
favorable. Distster comes from living in
a fool’s paradise, and never from correct
ing an evil.. Retailers perform a most
necessary function in business and they .
must be treated fairly. 1927 is going to
be a good year to get out of debt; or at ,
least to reduce one’s indebtedness. The
time to prepare for war is in the days of
peace, and now is the time to prepare for
future opportunities. Safeguard your
profits by getting out of debt now. Pro
tect your business by reducing your in
debtedness now. Insure your family by \
leaving them free from mortgages or j
notes to pay. There is enough money in
the country today for all. If we all will
be content to give a fair value in mer
chandise or labor for the. money we re
ceive, prqsperity rfiight ’ continue indefi
nitely. Financial panics, are'due toj ig
noring either the Ten Commandments Or
the multiplication table.”
WE CAN’T DELAY.
We can’t delay in our relief efforts for
the storm sufferers the "West and
South.
Money, food and clothing are needed,
and they are needed now. The President
has been told that $5,000;000 is needed to
care for those persons who have been de
prived of their homes and livelihood. No
doubt this sum will be insufficient, so
great has been the ravages of the Miss
issippi and its tributaries during the days
since the first appeal was made.
America is a Christian nation and the
Christian has no greater duty than to
provide for his fellow-man in need and
distress. Our money is of no good to us
if it cannot be expended to relieve hu
man needs and suffering.
1 The Cabarrus County Red Cross Chap
ter has sent $l5O to the national head
quarters of the Red Cross as the starter
for Cabarrus county. Individuals have
already made contributions and others
: should do likewise without delay. This
is a matter of life and death to hundreds
of persons.
The Mississippi is no respcctor of per
sons. It has swept aside all things in
its path, bringing death to more than 100
persons and bringing poverty, illness and
suffering to thousands of others. The
cry for help carries over the wastes of the
overflowing rivers and should touch the
heart of prosperous America.
In our snugness and comfort here wc
should not forget the little tots who can
i not care for themselves. • We should re
member tthe mothers who havje given
birth to babes in box-cars, sheds and oth
er temporary quarters. They are of our
flesh and blood; they must-Be saved.
Disease has crept into the refugee
camps, bringing an added horor to those
who are clinging to bare necessities in
their battle with the river. Proper food
and sufficient medicine are needed in
these camps. They can be procured on
ly through the generosity of an America
that refuses to recognize distance as a
barrier in the time of distress.
Give generously! Give immediately!
SEES BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR
COTTON.
It is an optimistic tone sounded by The
Montgomery Advertiser in the following
discussion of the cotton outlook and the
resultant effect on conditions in the
south: “We are much more prosperous
now thait we thought we would be last
1 October,” is the way the Alabama paper
■sizes it up and “we are going to be even
more prosperous.” The Advertiser says:
i “Cotton consumption is running well
l ahead of last year. In March domestic
mills consumed 694,000 bales as cornpar-
I ed with last year’s high record of 63L
j000 bales. For the first eight months of
1 the season the:consumpti(jn of lint cotton
was 1,718,000 as compared with 1.381,000
j during the corresponding period last sea
son, whilfc the total, including linters
1 amounted to <J2#,t)oo bales more than last
season. Mills held 1,980,000 bales on
i ; j U,' f
April 1 compared with 1,771,000 a year
ago.
“In addition there have been exception
ally heavy continuous rains for some
days in Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas—
with the result that prices advanced. You
see, it was not an 18,500,000-bale crop, af
ter all. It was slightly less than 18,000,-
000 owing to the unusual quality of cot
ton that was left to rot unpicked in the
fields.
“The south is very much more prosper
ous at this time than it thought last Oc
j tober that it would be. And it is going
to become even more prosperous.”

DECREASE IN FARM POPULATION
Each year finds fewer and fewer peo
ple on the farms of the United States.
Machinery takes the place of many, but
in many other instances* nothing replaces
the farm people who move td the urban
centers, and agriculture will suffer if the
present rate of decrease in farm popula
tion is maintained.
The farm population of the United
States decreased 649,000 persons last year,
the biggest decrease in any year since
1920, according to estimates by the Bu
reau of Agricultural Economics, United
States Department of Agriculture. The
number of persons living on farms Jan
uary 1, 1927, is estimated at 27,892,000
against 28,541,000, January 1, 1926. The
1925 agricultural census figure, 28,982,-
000, was used as a base for the bureau’s
calculations.
It is estimated that 2,155,000 persons
moved from farms to cities, towns and
; villages last year, and 1,135,000 persons
moved to farms, making a net movement
of 1,020,000 persons away from farms'.
Births on farms during 1926 are estimated
at 658,000 and deaths at 287,000, leaving
a natural increase ( df 371,000 persons,
\vhich the loss due to city-ward
movement to 649,000.
The bureau’s figures for 1925, revised
on the basis of the 1925 agricultural cen
sus, show a net loss of 441,000 persons in
farm population that" year. The gross
movement from farms to cities was 1,-
900,000. and the gross movement to farms
1,066,000 making a net movement to cit
ies, not counting births and deaths,*of
834,000 persons.
All geographic sections of the country
show net decreases in farm population
last year. The farm population in the
New England States was 636,000 per
sons January 1, 1927, against 651,000
January 1, 1926; Middle Atlantic Staffs
1,768,000 against 1,808,000; East North
Central 4,323,000 against 4,425,00; West
North Central 4,729,00 against 4,826,000;
South Atlantic 5,393,000 against 5,531,-
000; East Central 4,508,000 against 4,586,-
000; West South Central 4,585,000
against 4,727,000; Mountain 949,000
against 973,000, and Pacific 1,000,000
against 1,014,000.
The figures show that in the New Eng
land States 72,000 persons left the farms
last year and 52,000 went to farms; [Mid
dle Atlantic States 155,000 persons from
farms and 101,000 persons to farms; East
North Central 319,000 from farms and
164,000 to farms; West North Central
338,000 from farms and 193,000 to farms;
South Atlantic 354,000 from farms and
133,000 to farms; East South Central 266,-
000 from farms and 101,000 to farms;
West South Central 402,000 from farms
and 194,000 to farms; Mountain 130,000
from farms' and 95,000 to farms; Pacific
119,000 from farms and' 102,000 to farms.
VETERANS TO GET LOANS AT A
LOWER I^ATE.
When Governor McLean succeeded in
selling North Carolina bonds at 4 per
cent, he seems to have aided everybody.
One of the probable effects of the new
low rate of interest for State bonds will
be that such a showing will be made on
the loans to veterans of the World War
that the next legislature will reduce the
6 per cent, interest rate which veterans
are now required to pay, in the opinion
of John Hall Manning, commissioner of
the fund.
The veterans act was passeef in 1923,
when the State was paying 4 3-4 interest
on its bonds, but on Monday of this week
$10,000,000 were sold at an even 4 per
cent., with an option on another $10,000,-
000 taken at the same low figure.
The saving in interest to the State on
the $20,000,000 sold in December at 4.25
per cent, over the previous low price of
4.49 was figured at $700,000. The latest
issue has shorter average maturities but
the saving on the whole $20,000,000 over
the 4.25 rate is estimated at $500,000.
Colonel Manning thinks presentation
of the facts wilL cause the legislature to
pass some of this saving on to the sol
diers. Those securing loans are required
to pay for appraisal; and jsearch oF titje,
the only expense to the State 5 beidg "in
administration of the fund, which Colonel
Mantling- stated yesterday would be’well
under 1 per cent. Should the State get
the same rate on the bonds for loans to
\ etcrans that it lias just secured on its
/ *
THE CONOOhD TIMES
last highway bonds the difference paid
j by the veteran would be 2 per cent, un
less the rate is reduced.
| No loans have yet been made # but 51
4 applications aggregating $131,000 have
been completed and informal requests
now total 900. «
It will be a worthwhile saving to the
veterans if they can get the money at 4
per cent, instead of 6 per cent. The low
rate will in nb wise affect the amount of
money to be loaned. The State loans the
money it gets from interest and of course
the interest to be paid by the borrowers
will be determined by the amount of in
terest the State, has to pay and receives.
WHAT THEY DO IS WHAT
. COUNTS. 7
■ , t /-T- 5 -—- .
Senator Carter* Glass favors holding the
next Democratic national convention in
Washington. He points QUt 4hat the
National capital is a neutral city, has
ample hotel and auditorium accommoda
tions, and in many ways is desirable. The
Charlotte Observer seconds the nomina
tion. Other cities being discussed as
convention places are St. Louis, 1 Indian
apolis, Cleveland, Chicago, Denver and
Louisville, and recently Atlanta was re
ported to have put ill a bid. How much
support Glass’s suggestion 4 will get re
mains to be seen, but it is not likely to
get' sufficient approval to be named. At
this distance St. Louis seems to have the
most support.
But after all, as the Durham Herald
says, it doesn’t make so much difference
where the convention is held so far as
campaign results are -concerned, t What
the delegates do is the thing. T
“It will be successful or ‘idefeited fw
what it because of its meet
ing place,” says The Durham corttempor
arl. “The right sort of a candidate rum
ning on a sound and vigorous platform
can be elected no matter whether the
convention is held in Washington, or
Denver, Cleveland or Atlanta.”
The thing to watch is the candidates.
There is just as likely to be a bitter and
disastrous fight in one city as the other
if the candidates are ( not controlled-' 1
Governor Smith and William G. Mc-
Adoo would have staged their • famous
squabble in arty city in the country at the
eonvention. The fact that the meet
ing was in New York did not cause the
trouble.
Suporters of Governor Smith are not
showing much enthusiasm for the propos
al that the Governor and William G. Mc-
Adoo both step down and out as presi
dential candidates. Friends of the Gov
ernor say lie has gained in popularity and
strength during the past two years where
as McAdoo has lost in power.* The pro
posal, the Smith* forces think, may have
started in a McAdoo camp, his followers
being ready to admit that he can’t be
nominated, and for that reason don’t
want Smith to have a chance either. If
left to the vote of the Democratic party
we imagine such a proposal would carry
overwhelmingly. We are frank to ad
mit that in our opinion Governor Smith
is much the stronger of the two, yet we
are not convinced yet that he would
make the best candidate for the Demo
cratic party. We do not tliink McAdoo
would have a chance of election, nor do
we think he has a chance of nomination.
The party no doubt would gain some
confidence should both drop from the
race.
John L. Miller, tax supervisor and au
. ditor for Cabarrus county, is getting
things lined up for the revaluation of
county taxes. His job is a difficult and
important one and he should be support
ed in his desire to get the best possible
men to assist him in the revaluation work.
The State government has ruled that the
revaluation must be made; the county
must live within its income and the pub
lic must accept these conditions. That’s
: the reason the revaluatibn must be made.
’ If wc can get the property on an equita
; ble basis no one will suffer.
Former service men to the number of
-about 600 already have made requests
; for loans from the State under the provis
: ions of the Veterans Loan Act. Other
applications are coming in almost daily
' and the act is proving more popular than
had been predicted for it. There is a
1 curious thing about the loans too —most
[ of those asking for the money are not
J seeking the limit, $3,000. This means
: that the money will go farther than had
t been expected, officials handling the loan
having been of the opinion that practical
ly everybody would seek the limit. The
1 fact that the limit is not being sought in
-1 dicates that the loans are being made se
' riously, by men who expect to pay the
* money back without the State going to

I Governor McLean has succeeded in
t selling State bonds t bearing 1 per cent.
) interest.. He also has borrowed SIQ,-
jltfOO 000 in anticipation of the sale of an-
other block of bonds to that amount. The 1
‘ New York bank which bought the bonds
agreed at first ' to take only $2,500,000
worth but the Governor gqt in personal
, touch with the bankers with the result
| that he sold them $10,000,000 worth and
borrowed a like sum until more bonds
can be sold. These bonds were author-;,
ized by the last Legislature for highway
work. They are backed by the State and
win be retired by funds-received, from
automobile and gasoline taxes. j
WAS THERE ANY GRAFT?
Officers of the State Board of Health '
want an immediate investigation into
charges of graft on the part of the em- j
ployes of department. The charges j
were made before the last Legislature
and in all fairness to everybody it seems
that the matter should not be allowed to
: remain as at present. The charges have
, not been aired, nobody has been allowed
. to testify, and the only thing decided in
regard to the matter is a report of the At
. torney General that he has found nothing
;• wrong, , ■ » V
D,f. W. $. Rankin, former head of the
department and one of its members until
. a few days ago, is one of the prominent
men of the State who are demanding an
investigation. If there has been graft
i some of it must have been under him, he
rightly challenges, and he wants the
charges proved or disproved. He is enti
tled to that. Persons who make charges
against any public department should be
made to support them publicly or admit
they were mistaken. • t • . j M ; ‘
V, A$ thmgshSUnd no*W the public doesnT
know .’whether there . was graft or not.
Tills cannot be established, it seems to
us, until a regular investigation has been
made. Let witnesses be called and
heard, let the records be looked into, let
the usual procedure be followed. Then
’et the public know' something.
This white-washing business doesn’t
clear up anything, and we can readily un
derstand why such a process is not satis
factory to the department officials. The
charges have been made publicly and
ghould be supported or denied in the same
way.
GET IT IF WE WANT IT.
Lexington Dispatch.
-No responsible official of the Piedmont & North
ern has told us so in specific ’words, but just the
same •we have a hunch that if the Central Pied
mont section between Charlotte, Winston-Salem
and Greensboro wants the railroad extension'fondly
enough it will get it. Undoubtedly a cheaper route
so far as right of way costs are concerned could
be secured. From Charlotte all the way to Dur
ham, across Stanly. Randolph. Chatham and
Orange, a route could be selected through cheap
land, both rural and urban, compared to the land
in this section. Land there is cheaper because the
territory is not so intensively developed as it is
[through this section. But freight tonnage comes
from developed sections; and tonnage is what a
railroad must have.
We notice that representatives of the railroad
are filling out the questionnaire of the Interstate
Commerce Commission with statistics showing the
development during the past few years of the
section through which they nropse to extend the
road. It should be no difficult guess as to the
location of the territory that furnishes the statis
tics.
Since this territory has the desired tonnage and
the bright, prospect of rapidly growing tonnage
from year to year it has the biggest possible argu
ment—one that, no other section of the State can
quite match. On the other hand its citizens have
I the power also to block the coming of the road
by “getting on a high horse” aud refusing to come
down to a reasonable level of cooperation. Outside
of scattered individuals we do not anticipate there
will 'be any serious trouble. Every railroad ever
built through settled territory for any considerable
distance has probably had to overcome such
obstacles.
WHAT CHANCE TARIFF REFORM?
Asheville Times.
If Mr. McAdoo could arouse as many people by
his sound and vigorous statement on the tariff as
he has from time to time by his speeches on Pro
hibition, the result would increase tremendously
the chances of the Democratic Partv for victory
in 1928.
Written almost entirely from the political view
point and based largely upon a system of political
rewards or for political advantage. Mr. McAdoo
says that (lie tariff cannot be justified. He admits
that, even under these conditions, the Republican
tariff legislation nevertheless has some economic
merit. That merit would be enhanced, he points
out, by restoring the power of Tariff Commission
as it was originally created under President Wilson.
In future tariff legislation, Mr. McAdoo would
haw the farmer given at least equal advantages
with the industrialist, and more, if it is possible
to be done without violence to economic principles.
This is a line of attack on the Republican Old
Guard -which the Western farmers and the Demo
-1 cratic Party have neglected. Whether it is at
. this time possible to start and drive to success a
. campaign on tariff reform may be doubtful, for
even Mr. McAdoo has devoted more of his time
to a disussion of Prohibition than to the tariff.
ANOTHER MOUNTAIN MAGNET.
; Greensboro Record.
Announcement from Boone that 300.000 trout
are to be deposited in the mountain streams of
this State will be of great interest to trout fisher
men aud will stimulate the desire to spend vaca
tions in the mountains. The fish form the State’s
1 hatchery are of the speckled and of the rainbow
avrieties. These trout will be ready for the angler
: by r~* y lor but the sport will be at its height
until later. Trout fishing is a scientific sport, and
onlj the expert will find it .successful. These
piscatorial variaties are in their element in the
