C-, March 11, 1(125. — I There is hardly a house on the road from Concord to Greenville that does not boast of a flower bed. In mill villages, on farms and in the residential districts that offer pretentious intensions flowers are found in great abundance. Jonquils and Golden Glow predominate now as this is their season. It has not been many years! since yards in mill villages, especially, were barren, Occupants of the houses did not seem to care for flowers. They were content to let things stay as they found them. Not so now. On the trip from Concord to this city I passed hundreds of women at work in flower gardens and in at least half of the cases the houses were located in some mill village. The fact that fewer women work in the industrial plants now probably ac counts jn part for the change. The wom en now have more time to work the flow era. They have more time to look around and see the barrenness that surrounds their homes. And too. the industrial plants pay more attention to the homes of their employes than they formerly did. They are mak ing the houses more attractive in appear ance. They are painting the houses and in every case and in so doing they are encouraging their operatives to take greater pride also iu the general appear ance of things. I was struck with another thing on the trip—the wholesale manner in which trees are being cut Not less than 50 fields seen on the trip showed effects of new timber cutting. The fields are be ing plowed now preparatory to eultiva . tion later. Rut nowhere did I see any signs of new forests. Aparently the trees were cut without thought to the future. Pine trees seemed to be the favorite with the woodcutter. North Carolina has been far-famed for her pines, but at the present rate of cutting it will not be many years until all of the pines in the State will hive been sacrificed for the desire for more land for cultivation. There seemed to have been as mucb cut ting in South Carolina as in North Caro lina. When the State line was passed the new fields were as much in evidence as they were in North Carolina. Persons contemplating trips on the national llighwuy south of Concord should not hesitate to start out through any doubt as to the conditions of the roads. The highways are in excellent condition from Concord to Greenville, and reports here say they continue good to the Georgia line. No detours are en countered until the tourist reaches Con verse, M. C., and the one around that tn ! ll village is perfectly marked and in tine shape. There is auother detour be tweeu Spartanburg and Greenville bat it is in good shape also. South Carolina has few paved roads in comparison with North Carolina, bnt her sand day roads are good. The State has started building more paved roads. tWsjdty by worlt on'aVftAyed road in this county. nn.„ j -h ?The hotel was built by the people of the City and the money waa secured in a 1 campaign conducted by representatives of the Hockenbury System, Inc., the ■same company which supervised the cam -1 paign for Concord's new hotel. The Greenville people expect the new hotel to : bring new business to the city. They see in the structure the realization of n drea’m such as Concord people visioned when they over-subscribed stoqk in the J new hostelry for their city. Nothing helps a city more than a good hotel, and ■even in this South Carolina eity many persons have learned that Concord soon is to have a modern hostelry. And it is no secret that people here know we need the hotel. Several persons have * ben- I tioned the matter to me and in every in stance the/ ended The conversation with a statement I could not deny: “You ‘sure need a hotel in Concord.” W. M. S. DIXON TURNS TO SHELBY HOME FOR BIG MOVIE* SCENE t Famous Author Offers to Film “Black Hood” in Shelby Setting. Shelby. March 10.—Shelby and west ern North Carolina may form the scenic background for one of moviedom's great est historic films, according to a propo sition made by Thomas Dixon, inter nationally famous Author and playwright, to a number of prominent local men. who with other well-known business men of the state are considering the proposition. Acceptance of the offer would mean -.hat “The Black Hood,” Dixon’s second great book on the Ku Klux Klan. would be filmed here in the native county of the a.ithor, where the scene of the-story is laid. 1 ’ *. ' 1 Dixon's offer.: should it materialize, would further mean that four other of his. historic books would be filmed here and that in the leaking of the pictures some of the western Carolina's famed semi-mountain and mountain scenes would be used. Hundreds of Shelby people remember the day when Tom Dixon lived in the' dilapidated house to the rear of the, Shelby postoffice and they see in his of fer a desire to put "the old home town,” l-ememberances cf which formed the back ground for many of his stories, “on the map.’ Prposition in Brief. D:xon wants to personally direct the making of “The Black Hood” into a screen story and in his mind the filming could best be done on the stately Sbclfiy .“court square” around which th“ stoiy jis woven. He proposes the organiza j tion of a film company for the purpose 'of making the picture and with the or ganization rights to many of his other | famous stories of the southland will be | given the new company. All of the our- I of-door scenes to be made in Cleveland j county touched up with scenes from I Cleveland Springs Park, Chimney Rock, Blowing Rock and Asheville. Offer to Dorton. Sometime back realizing tiiat the town of independence in Dixon’s “Black Hood” was no other than the town of Shelby, in which he was born, local peonle took | more than the usual interest in the book. Several weeks back Dr. J. S. Dorton. sec retary of the Cleveland County Fair, wrote Mr. Dixon, making him an offer so pel-’ naliy direct a pageant of the Put Your Pastry to the test Ask your family or your guest They will say ours is the best.

"The only trouble about it i« that 1 am negotiating now for the production cf that book and four others in mption pictures next fall. The two things 1 would have to be combined as 1 would certainly be tied up in the picture eon- , tracts. “The pageant as a separate produc tion would be very expensive if put on by competent men in a proper way. It would cost, I figure, about half as much an the big super-film which I have al ready written and there would be nothing to show for it when done. • “If. on the other hand, the pictures . were organized and controlled by our own company, the outdoor of the film scenes could all be taken in Sbe'by dur ing fair week; —and the pageant staged by the actors at h very' small cost and . charged to the advertising account of the film. • ' ‘ ' “If you can raise the capital needed ■ for the production in pictures of The . Black Hood’ I will call off the negotia i tions here and turn the five books: The i B'.aek Hood,’ The Mali in Gray.’ ‘A Man . of People.' ‘The Victim.’ and ’The South " erner’ over to the Cleveland company. and devote all my time to their produe • tion for the next five years. And we - could stage a pageant of one of my books i every fall. “The Birth of a Nation’ has made . so far over $5,000,000 nud is still run r ning. The Black Hood’ would certain ) ly make >a‘ profound sensation in the : whole country. The company now dis- I tributing ’The Birth of a Nation' is ‘The : Fnited Artists.’( Griffin. Fairbanks, Pickfnrd and Chaplin). The president 1 of this company, Hiram Abrams, has - read ‘The Black Hood’ and says it will ■ make mere money than ‘The Birth of a Nation.' "I am now writing a new novel—will - be done in about four week s I could ) go into the new enterprise in April. "Let me knew if there is any chance, to swing the proposition iu this way. “With best wishes. > “Sinecerly, [ "THOMAS DIXON.” (JSK PENNY COLUMN—TT PAYS USE GLYCA-PYNA : The Creosote Throat and Bron chial Preparation For throat, croup, whooping cough, catarrhal bronchitis, bron chial, asthma and especially coughs of long standing and deep seated colds, there is nothing bet ter.
