Citic i Better.—Wants State Chamber of Ccmmcree as one Means to End. •Bg the AMoelnlml !*re«a. > Blowing Rock, N. C.. June 22.—Speak ing before the North Carolina Press As- I aociation here today, Xaafford Martin, f editor and general manager of the AA'in- J ston-Halem Jpitrual, called on the news papers of the State to tear a leaf from the book of the colleges and universities I (if the country and 'exchange reporters. and city editors in the same manner as ■ colleges exchange professors. He sug- I grated this innovation as one practical way by which the? newspapers could help to promote n mire wholesome inter city spirit iu the slate, his subject being Inter-City Spirit and AA’liat tlie News ( papers Should Do to" Promote It." ) "Know North Carolina has been tlie slogan of this Press (Association, and in the last two years file newspapers have 1 carried thtat fine slogan into every home . in the common wealthy" said the speaker. "Now we should go another step for at least one year and make our slogan, Know,North Carolina s Cities'." "The one sure way to promote a bet ter understanding between our eities is to know them. The best teachers are ’ the newspapers. They are. in fact, the only teachers that can give instruction in the homes of the ninety and nine,” de | dared Mr. Martin, 1 Illustrating his point, the AA'inston-Sn -1 deni editor said that it would be of im-. inense benefit for the city editpr of hjs paper to go to 01$$$lattr and bebrome as sociated for a week there with one of the Charlotte papers. Ip the meantime the city editor of- the Charlotte paper would be ill Winston-Salem and each of them would learn about the respective town, in which the other's paper was published. Important facts would form the basis of articles to be written upon tlm end of the visit fur publication iu the home paper and tints tlie citizens of the* two communities would learn more about one another and tlie cities in which they lived. Mr. Martin made a idea for ."state mindeduess," declaring that. "Newspa pers should fight against narrow provin cialism—should kill it as they would a snake. "Every newspaper should consider it self not merely a citizen of the town or county in which it happens to live, but a citizen of North Carolina. There is a temptation for city-dwellers to. become' so absorbed with the affairs of their own municipalities and so puffed up with pride over the growth and progress of their particular communities • that they forget they are living in a place far big ger ami better and greater and more im portant to civilization (ban any city in the state, and that that place is North Carolina." "Recent developments' have gone fai. to break down this barrier of false pride and foolish provincialism." Mr. Martin continued. "Fine highways are beiug built all over North Carolina and the cit ies are going to pay for them. For most of tlie taxes collected now for pur posses come from the corporations and in come and license tax-paying citizens of our .cities. Magnificent rural schools are being built in every county of the com monwealth. Tile State spent last year more than twenty million dollars build ing and operating these public schools. The same tax-paying city dwellers put up a large proportion of the money for these sentinels of progress. Such tremendous investments as these iu the building of the structure known as North Carolina are calculated to awaken and, indeed, have already awakened, a deeper inter est in the state on tlie part of the most intelligent city dwellers. And at the same time these highways and these ru ral schools into whieli every city's money has been poured form an unbreakable link binding together all the cities in North Carolina. .It is as true today as it was two thousand years ago that, j ‘where your treasure is there will your heart be also.' Tlie cities of North Caro lina now have something bigger and better in' common to be proud of than they ever had before. They are joint ] stockholders iu as noble an enterprise as was ever built to bless mankind." “More and more." tlie speaker asert gd, "leading business men of' our cities are coming to consider themxelqes build ers not only of a city, but of a state. • They are thinking in terms of state prog ress today as they have never thought , before. They are no longer jealous of, but \ proud of their neighbor's progress be- , cause they know that tlie progress of ] their neighbor means also tlie progress of their state. Our business men and cap- , tains of industry and leaders of finance are becoming state-minded." i To illustrate his point Air. Martin j quoted from letters lie had received from , some of the business men of AVinstop-Su- | lent in reply to a query which he had lull | to them as to what should tlie North Car- , olina newspapers do to promote tlie in- i ter-eity spirit in North Carolina. In conclusion the speaker urged the or- | ganization of a State Chamber of Com merce as a-means of moulding the inter city spirit, mid praised tlie part in civic I affairs in North Carolina now being tak- 1 en by the Rotary, Kiwanis, Civitans, and I Lions Clubs asserting that they deserve 1 the "whole hearted support and most ! generous encouragement of tlie public t press.” Orphans’ Home Will Be Built in State.
