ONE LESSON TO LEARN.
North Carolina has far*outstripped the
rest of the Southern States ill many ways
during the past .twenty years." httf we
still hav& one important lesson' to IcartP-^ 1
thrift. And we ean profit by the experi
ence of other Southern States. States
which are not as rich as ours, if we
only will.
The University News letter points
out that the State of New York has near
ly twice as much bank capital and sur
plus as all of the Southern States com
bined.
Pennsylvania has almost as much
bank capital and surplus as the eutitre
South.
New Jersey has nearly three times as
much bank capital as North Carolina.
Rhode Island, no larger than one coun
ty in this state, has two-thirds as much
bank capital and surplus as North Car
olina.
We have nearly twice as •many people
. ns Connecticut, and rank ahead of her
in the total value of farm and factory
products, but she has nearly 50 per cent,
more capital and surplus.
We far outrank Virginia in agricul
ture, manufacture, and population, but
she has sixty per cent, more bank capi
tal and surplus.
Maine lias little agriculture and manu
facturing facilities compared with North
Carolina, yet she lias 35 dollars of bank
capital and surplus )>er inhabitant while
North Carolina has only 21 dollars.
The News Letter thinks "the answer
lies largely in the difference between
wealth production on a total basis, and
wealth production and accumulation on a
per inhabitant basis. But aside from
that, the habit of thrift is a big factor.
Until we become more thrifty we will
continue to pay tribute to the people in
the other States who buy our bonds, who
supply us with the money with which to
build our schools, roads, to make our
town improvements, and even to carry
on much of our trade."
Savings deposits in North Carolina and
in other Southern States for that matter,
do not compare favorably witii deposits
in other Stntes. In this State employes
of textile plants save something, but
they do not save as much as employes in
New England mills. The people of this
State have not realized yet the importance
of thrift, aud as a result we are the los
ers.
HARD FIGHT IN STATE.
The Democratic party in North Caro
lina is going to have a real fight oil its
hands in the next general election. There ‘
is little reason to fear a Republican vic
tory in the State, to be sure, but the
Democratic party leaders will do wise to
mend their feuces and get in position to
carry on. a real campaign.
President Coolidge plans to make sev
| CT al visits to North Carolina within the
next year, it is reported from Washing
ton. He is popular in this State, and he
• wants to get in closer touch with the
people. W. G. Brahham and Ike Mcek
ins. two prominent Republicans, confer
red with the President several days ago,
and the visit is taken to mean the party
in this State Will support Mr. Coolidge.
p In the State the Republicans are cer
tain to talk much about certain affairs

ty. The fact that the men were leaders

people of the State, Republicans and
Democrats alike, have confidence in Mr.

such a leader the party should prosper
unless everyone just sits still and waits
for “George to do it.”
REMARKABLE RELIGIOUS
REVIVAL SERVICES
Evangelist Richey Closes Services in At
lanta.—Says God Heals Bodily Ail
ments.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 21.—With over
seven thousand converts and thousands
more who tostitied to the healing of bod
ily ailments, probably the most remarka
ble religious revival services that Atlanta
has ever seen came to a close here this
week when Evangelist Raymond T.
Richey, who will soon begin n series of
services in North C'aroliua, preached his
final sermon to an audience that packed
the great city auditorium to its doors.-
while outside in a smaller hall an over-:
flow meeting was addressed by workers.,
and literally thousands were turned
away because there was no room in eith
4*re meeting.
Because he preached that the day of
miracles is not past, that God will now
heal bodily ailments, and through pray
er practiced his belief, the evangelist
was at first met with decided skepti
cism. The first few days of his meet
ings his audiences were utmost lost in
the vast auditorium. Few cable to be;
healed. One of t first was a beggar,
familiar on the streets of Atlanta for
many years. .
During the last week of his services
one of the most- prominent lawyers in
Atlanta was one who declared himself
healed of deafness through the prayers
of the evangelist. Long before the time
for the night meetings the auditorium,
which seats nearly six thousand people,
was packed to the doors. Three meetings
a day were held in order that the
throngs of maimed, blind, deaf, and those
suffering from every other conceivable
ailment might be anointed with oil and
prayed for.
The mayor and city council, for tin
first time since the auditorium was built,
granted him free use of the building,
and refunded to him the rent that had
already been paid. Hundreds from all
parts of the South came to be healed,
end all. almost without exception declar
ed themselves cured or beuetitted. Prob
ably fifty were brought in ambulances
from local hospitals. Three local minis
ters announced their intention of includ
ing healing by faith and prayer in their
services, and during the latter part of tin
meeting assisted in the healing services.
Over 4,000 sick were prayed for. On
the day following the close of the regu
lar services twenty-five thousand negroes
attended a special service held for their
benefit on the grounds of a local negro
college.
YVhat to Do For Hie Community Fair.
The Progressive Farmer.
The success of a community fair de
pends more upon, community co-opera
tion than upon any other one tiling. No
one should be left out. Everything and
everybody in the community should be
interested in the fair and take part in
it. In no other way can it fully rep
resent the 1 community.
Get the co-operation of all existing or
ganizations through the leaders in each.
Call a preliminary meeting and formu
late plans for a permanent organization.
Elect officers consisting of president,
vice president, and secretary-treasurer.
Choose them well. The next step is
the appointment of committees. These
should be abous as follows:
General committees: Publicity, pre
mium list, arrangements and decoration,
amusement and entertainment.
Special committees : Farm crops, live
stock. poultry, fruits, vegetables, wom
en's work and fine arts, flowers and or
namental plants, school and club work
exhibits, athletics,
The early appointment of these com
mittees and the early publication of the
premium list in an exceedingly import
ant matter. Do not leave the young
people off the committees. They are of
ten the most enthusiastic and effective
workers. Always, too, women should
be on each committee. Their participa
tion is stimulating and encouraging.
Farm and home agents are indispen
sable.
Write for bulletins on fairs. These
may be had of your state extension serv
ice. Bulletin 37ft may be had of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. YY'ashiugton, D. C. Its tile is
“The Community Fair” and it is an ex
cellent guide. Write for catalogs of
your county and state fairs.
If takes work to develop a good com
munity fair. All great and good tilings
come through and by hard work. Let's
start now and have every member of tile
family begin to prepare something to
exhibit. The greatest good to the in
dividual exhibitor is. the knowledge gain
ed while raising, growing, making and
assembling his exhibits. The next great
est good comes from comparing his work
and his exhibits with' those of others.
The premium or prize one gets is* little
more than an acknowledgment of supe
riority.

ANNUAL FARM CENSUS
One of the Factors of Our Progressive
• ness Is Agricultural Enlightenment. .
<Br the Associated Press.)
Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 21.—There is one
factor entering into the progressiven’ess
of North Carolina that is not geueuerally
recognized by the public and this factor
; is agricultural enlightenment, which is
made possible by the annual farm census,
according to Frank Parker, agricultural
; statistician of the Federal and state de
partments of agriculture.
In a specially preiiared paper made
public here today Mr. Barker reviews
the history of the annual farm census
j in North Carolina aud outlines the pur
poses and work of the census organiza
! tion. The paper follows:
“That North (Carolina is making prog
ress to that of any other state is
generally 'recognized j n view of the ad
vances made in manufacturing, road
: building, education, agriculture, etc. One
phase of this that few know of its con
cerning the means for agricultnral en
lightenment through ttye annual farm cen
: sus.
“In 1!)1S the agricultural statistician
I for North Carolina, called the attention
of B. W. Kiigdre-, director ot extension
work, to the fact that several other
states were compiling' annual farm cen
suses to great advantage. Each of these
states providing for farm censuses, but
North Carolina had no such law. Mr.
Kilgore readily co-operated and a volun
tary survey was secured from most of
the counties in the state. In 101!) this
work was improved considerably.
"The results gained showed that splen
did improvement in both the number of
farms listed and the completeness of the
work that ttie legislature two years ago
passed a hurt providing for a farm cen
sus of the state.
"This year an intensive effort has
been made to get a complete list of the
acreage of crops, number of pro iuefive
live stock, etc. That these efforts have
not been in vain is evident in the pres
ent results, showing reports from three
fourths of the counties have sent in farm
census books for each township in the
county and that very few of the others
have more than one township book miss
ing
"This has been achieved by appealing
to the interest of the county officers and
commissioners. There has long been a
question of doubt as to government crop
estimates on the grounds that they are
usually erroneous. The farm census
makes it possible to give the actual enu
meration of farm acreages and the num
ber of livestock, thereby relieving the
question of doubt.
“In last year's agricultural eeusus re
port there were maps showing compre
hensively where crops were located, thus
clearly outlining the sources of supplies
A larger map showing what proportions
of certain counties wgre cultivated also
was prepared on in format ion gained in
making the census. This map indicated
the counties having large and small di
versifications,
"A statistical summarization showed
that over 11. 000.001 l were cultivated in
North Carolina. Os that area, according
to the map and statistics, 37 per cent,
was planted in corn. 23 per cent, in cot
.tou, a little less than nine per cent, in
wheat: something more than seven per
cent in tobacco and approximately five
per cent, in oats.|
-’'Much other information also was
available through the census; for in
stance. it was shown that there were in
the state 13(>.00ft temiants working on
78,000 farms, while 114.000 farms iiad
no tenants: that over 1.000,000. acres
were utilized for improved pastureland:
that 050,000 tons of commercial fertiliz
ers were used: that approximately 407.-
000 head of work stock were in service;
that 05.000 acres were devoted to home
gardens and that bearing fruit trees
numbered about gOoo.ooo.
This year's results are now being com
piled by the department of
They will include many new features, as
the number of each class of productive
stock, the number of acres in wins led
land, the number of acres in each class
of hay crop etc.
“Each year new uses and advantages
are being found for the farmers' benefit
and enlightenment. Every industry ha“
advanced in economical knowledge con
cerning its trends. Agriculture alone lias
neglected this subject. In fact, agri
cultural economics is a relatively new
institution in many of our bighere places
of learning.
"With the ymlation and peculiar circum
stances that farmers have due to lack of
contact with their fellow men. there is a
feeling of undue advantage being takeu.
which is oto often realty true. The only
way that this is going to be corrected is
for the farmers to learn the true facts
from an unbiased source. This is being
offered them by the department of agri
culture through the farm census.”

Know North Carolina.
High Point Enterprise.
North Carolina in the i>ast year has
paid into the Federal Treasury $125.-
000.000.
* Those who view the Slate debt with
alarm should get a pleasant reaction by
regarding the latter figure, too. A State
that is taxed by the federal Govern
ment for a great deal more in a year 1
than the total of its debt is not ap
proaching bankruptcy.
Gilliam Grissom, the eollector of in- 1
ternal revenue, announces the figures
paid into the Federal Treasury for the
year, and calls attention to the fact that
they are larger than those in California,
the seventh state in the Union last year
in the amount of Federal tax paid, when
this state stood eighth.
This huge sum that North Carolina '
has furnished the central Government
was a levy on North Carolina produc
tion. It was i>aid out of the earnings
>f factories in this state, operated by
capital, labor and materials that largely
originalede within the state. These re- '
sources are not ephemeral and they are
assets of North Carolina that guarantee
that the state was not pursuing an mi-1
sound policy in investing in the further
development of its territory.

Mothers of Famous Men
The Mother of Captain Cook. '
“She died at sixty-three, happy in the
knowledge that her son was the com
mander of one of the king's ships.”
In those words one reads the mother
love and the mother-pride that watched
that most intrepid, most daring of ex
plorers. Captain-, James Cook. Captain
Cook, more -than -any other man. estab
lished Eitfopeau. Interest in the South
Seas. -In a little woollen Vessel he made
liis wg.v over uncliprted oceans where
coral reefs and terrible storms threaten
ed him at sea, and where savage canni
bals'threatened him on land,
111 the end, ns all the world knows.
Captain Cook met his death at the hands
of the natives of the Hawaiian Islands,
wheje he had gone ashore for water and
supplies. Grace Cook, his mother, was
a simple-hearted woman, a farmer's wife.
She lived with her husbsnd. who worked
for various land-owners, in that hardy
district of England known as Yorkshire.
Trouble and sorrow beset her in full
measure. Four of her chil(lred died in
childhood. Four others lived to do her
honor*,;; V '
Amofig these was James, thtf second
child of thtr family. He was born in
1728, and saw but few years of play. As
soon as he wis old enough to do any
thingthing at all he had to go with his
father to help in farm work. Around the
simple little hovel where the family lived
spread great moors and rough hills, and
the sea, that was to call James so far,*
even to the other side of the earth, was
not far away. Grace Cook, for all her
work and worry, watched the upward de
velopment of her son, aud died happy
"because, he commanded the king’s ship.”
A mother's pride is a erown of glory for
any son! ■
