Thursday, Decqriber27, l933 North Carolina’s, Material and Educational Program Should Stir and Stimulate the South N. C„ Dec. 24. T -Thnu<h 3f>23 has been a banner year for North Carolina in every respect, the present indications are that 1»24 will equal and very probably exceed the twelve j month period now nearing its e'ose. according to a resume of industrial and, other activities in the state for 1923 together with conclusions for the State 1 in 1024, compiled here and issued to-1 night by Commissioner of Labor and' Printing, M. L. Shipmen. Mr. Shipman's, report tonight \va° forwarded to Wash-! ington where the Department of Labor is getting together a comprehensive sur-! vey of the country's activities with the outlook for 1924. “North Carolina has passed through a banner year in 1923.” declared Mr. Shipman. “Its crops have exceeded all expectations, its cotton crop being second to that of Texas. Its farmers have been fortunate that the large cot ton crop came at a time when there was on apparent shortage in the coun try’s crop and the- resultant high prices for the product greatly improved the purchasing power and general condition of the fnrmer. The Department of Agri culture of the State indicates that the price received for the second largest > crop in the history of the State may be greater than any lteretofore obtained.”. Mr. Shipman in his report discussed tobacco, road building and general in dustrial activity. He also went into the subject of municipal improvements in a general way. Os road building he said that though a record of construction ap proximating 1,000 mi es was made dur ing 1923, indications are that the work in 1924 will very nearly equal, and with construction which will carry over to the New Year, may exeeed that of the current year.

Streets are to be paved, sewer and drainage lines ex tended, school houses are under con struction. The exact amount, invo ved in thpse program is Not available but in dications are that there will be activity throughout the year." *■. School construction, according ho Mr. Shipman's report will go well over the five million dollar figure. The State De partment of Public Instruction has ap plications on hand for use of the State funds in the building of schools to the amount of five millions of dollars. The work which each county will do along this line is expected to add considerably to this amount. Building industries show no decrease and employment i situation remains well in hand through out thp State with indications thnt the demand for nil classifications will con tinue throughout the New Year. In every city ofi the State. Mr. Shipman continued, there are private building program which will keep the laborers and artisans at work. Following is Mr. Shipman’s report in full, compiled front reports of every section of the State: "Though 1923 has been a banner year for North Carolina in many respects, the prospects for 1924 appear as bright and perhaps brighter than the pros pects was* for 1923 at this time last iyenr. Industrial activity, which lias been, • maintained at almost the peak during 1923 nhewa no sign of lotting up and from pans made hv manufacturers in various industries thrmichout the State, it wan’d seem that there will perhaps be an increase of industrial activity. Manufacturing companies are operating at full and in many instances double 1 1 time. The textile Industries which have showed in recent years a constantly progressive deve’opment are expected to continue this development in 1924 with a consequent absorption of surplus workers in the districts of the nlnnts. Carolina has passed through a banner vear in 1923. Its crops have ex ceeded o’l expectations, its cotton crop i being second to that 0 f Texas. Its farmers hrtve been fortunate that the large cotton crop came at a time when there was an apparent shortage in the country's crop and the resulting high prices fc r the product greatly improved the farmers’ purchasing power and his general condition. The Department of Agriculture of the State indicates that the price received for the second largest crop in the history of the State may be greater than anv heretofore obtained. Because *f this the farmers nre look ing’forward to the New Year with high hope. Tlie Enstem and Piedmont sec tions nrobably will put a larger acreage in cotton than heretofore and the prob able demand for laborers for the fields will be greater. During the yonr now closing it was impossible for the farmers to obtain all the help needed and as n consequence many of them were obliged to have members of their families ns tlie sunp’y of this class of labor is available in 1924, there is every indi cation that ir will be entirely absorbed. “Building activities 'do not show any signs of a let down. In fact.’ judging from the reports of the vario'ns largo cities there is a decided boom in this line prevalent throughout the State. A Inrge number of trained laborers and untrained nlso will be taken care of in this line. Most encouraging reports of the Stnte as a whole in building in industry nre available and a prediction that the new construction of 1921 will exceed that of 1923 seems t-o be in line with the reports received. “No industrial let-down is expected in 1924. The supply for skilled labor of all kinds has continued to the pre sent and unskilled workmen, it is indi cates!. also will be in great demand dur ing the New Year. The demand for clerical positions probably will continue to approximate the available supply. ''Municipal activities will continue in 1924 with an increase in prospect. Many cities and towns have authorized street paving program and other municipal improvements for the year and when construction on these com mences during the late winter and early spring, there is every indication that tho need of persons trained for this work will be noticeable. Though the nctual figures of municipal programs authorized art not available scattered reports show thnt large and more ex tensive programs are planned by the cities while the towns, in many onset* for the first time, p’an to develop along this line to the limit of finances. “Average in tobacoo. it is indicated, may he slightly decreased during 1924 hut this decrease probably will be taken un by diversified fnrming or by cotton. The tobacco crop of this season whi’e it was the largest of recent years did not bring the average priee, due to an inferior quality. However, the tobacco farmers made a reasonable profit and are in good position for 1924. The reports of agricultural condi tions throughout the State show that the farmers are enjoying a period of prosperity unprccendented in recent years and that the acreage of crops of nil kinds wil? be greater in 1924 than during 1923. this showing that the agricultural labor will be taken enre of within the State. • “The rpadbuilding program of North Carolina will be an important item dur ing 1924. In the present year a program of completing approximately 1,000 miles of construction has been successfu'ly carried out. During the 1924 period the State Highway Commission has laid plans for the completion of 800 miles of roads to be added to the State system, of which 500 miles will be hard-surfaced. $18,000,000 is available for new con struction during 1924. $2,000,000 hns been let to contract but work will not be eofnmenced until 1924 and in addi tion there will be n number of projects on which work' is now under way but which will not be completed before 1924. In addition a number of counties will have county roadbuilding programs in dependent of the State program. The in dications nrc that these projects will completely absorb all classes of skilled and unskillted labor which will be available for this ype of work. “In fertilizer, lumber, tobacco pro ducts and other manufacturers the present scnle of production is expected to continue. Most of the ferti’izer factories of the State will expand their activities after the first of the year and lumber concerns nre looking to a year of unusual activity, due to the large demands of the building program of the stnte. “In school construction, the indica tions are that there will be activity of almost unprecedented magnitude. In nddition to the extensive programs of the state institutions, the seculnr col leges nre erecting additions to their plants and thus providing work for a great number. The building program at the various Stnte institutions will bo pushed toward completion with large sums appropriated bv the 1923 Vgis’a ture available for this pui-poso. The State Department of Public Instruction hns on hand applications for upward of $5,000,000 from various school through out the State for building purposes nud the program of building will get under way in 1924. In addition n number of counties and, cities are planning to erect school buildings at their own ex pense and the activities in this line will continue throughout the year. * "Summarizing the outlook for 1924, it is safe to say that North Carolina’s “Program of Progress," which, it so happens, was undertaken at the same time that banner crops were produced and largely increased manufacturing activity was the order of the day. will carry the State in 1924 through a period of prosperity as great and per haps greater than that of 1923. The tanners are hopeful, building activities are constantly expanding, road-building will be continued at ijn equal speed to TH£ CONCORD DAILY TRIBUN® that of 1923, municipal programs are lntger than heretofore, manufacturing plants are operating at full tiyne basis with no prospect of a let-up, and the general situation is excellent in every . respect.

Wealthy Japanese Women to Abandon t Slks For Charity. Tokio. Dec. 24.—The wealthier \vo i men of Japan have decided not to wear any elaborate and expensive kihionas this winter, and to devote the money thus saved to relieving the- needy. The idea was initiated by the Thursday Club, an organization of Eiglish-pcnking Japanese women who for some years have met ev ery Thursday to aid in helping their less fortunate sisters! A speeial deject of the club's attention has been a creche established as a me morial to Madame Sniouji, daughter of Prince Sniouji. Tlie Thursday Club members have gone a step farther than some of those who have joined their movement, and are selling portions of their own elaborate wardrobes to raise funds for purchasing clothing for those needing relief. As the kimonas sold nre elaborate ceremonial ones, worn duly onee or twice, they are much sought' after by foreign women resident here. Resigns to Run Sheriff. Asheville. Dee. 24.—0tt0 Wells, for the past four years deputy, sheriff of Buncombe county, has resigned his po sition effective .Hanuary Ist in order that he may enter the race for sheriff at the next election against Sheriff John A. Lyerly: In submitting his resigna- ; tion Mr. : Wells stated that he wished to give the sheriff a chance to appoint a man in his place as he had “decided that it is my duty to make this fight ns fair and as conscientiously as I cau.” Sheriff Lyerly expressed regret at losing the officer who he eha raobn-ized as “an efficient deputy,” but said be believed Mr. Wells’ action was a fair one to the county and public. When a private stationed at. Fort Benning was engaged in cleaning a rifle which lie had just drawn, he pushed out a small roll of paper which contained tthe following pessage: “This rifle was used by Private Frnnklin Webster, 2010213. I Uo., 125th Inf* I fired this point-blank at seven Germans, Oet. 7, 1918, in an attack on the Kriemhilde -Striking during the Meuse-Argonne of fensive. On October 11, 1918, I fired with this rifle 115 rounds while in the third bnttalion, 125th Inf. Gassed in thei Death Valley near Geanes, France.
