THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE Southern Cotton Mill Idealism Chariot |p Observer. Mr. ICiclmnl Woods Edmonds, ; nephew of Richard 11., of Manufac turers Record fame, has been travel ing about the South making observa tion of industrial conditions and is enpttibiiting articles of an ► informa flvc,n»tnre to that paper. Mr. Ed monds has an analyt’eal mind and de facts along specialized lines. He looks? jfor both the good and the bad. neither of which he exaggerates. He mixes them together and sifts them down to ■what the mill then might call the raw base, with the chaff blown away. In the course of diis travels'he strue' , the great towel town of Kannapolis and the facts disTOvered there he j strings into an entertaining narrative I He presents Kannapolis as a mili v'l lage of distinction, for it is “t e lent c est unincorporated town in th» Cnif 'od States" It has a population of or more with no mavhr, or o' h i : city official, no city poliths and. her. ■ f-re, no city graft. The pe p> oC Kamtapelis wil'. tell you ther v affairs are run with the effieienrv of business corporation. They sh ut • be. for Kanpapoli# i Rim ply an ad junct to the manufacture of towels Mr. Edmonds gives a sketch of t 1 city-like appearance of the buslr. and residtxitial part of Ka i.t and-i-esumest The largest unin., -rp ated town in the United States, Him : s a Southern cotton-mill town, and the reason for the efficiency of its ad miniptration is the same as that for the efficient administration of othe Souther:! cotton-mill towns —it is managed by business men as a busi ness proposition rather than by poli ticians as a vote-eateh‘ng prop sitio.i., All the affairs of the town are run as smoothly as clockwork. There is none of the squabbling, intriguing and wire-pulling that characterize the running of the ordinary town. The city maintenance!costs something, and that something is necessarily reflect ed in rents, butt there are no e : ty tax es to be squandered by city politicians Possibly another reason for this satisfaction is the fact that paternal ism is reduced to a minimum. The 1 company owns every foot of land and every building in the town except the churches, which it helped to build, aud the church lots, which it deeded to the congregations. It rents tile homes to the mill hands and the stores to ithe merchants. It provides a splen did V. 11. C .A. building. But its pa ternalism goes little further, or at least visibly. The Y. M. C. A. is self supporting-—an exceedingly rare thing in a mill town. Aud it is the equal, if not the superior, in size, construc tion, equipment, beauty and mainten ance of any mill Y. M. C. A. I have seen anywhere. The company oper ates no stores. Coal, electricity, laun dry service, ice—all the things pro vided at cost by the mills in so many Southern mill villages—are here pro vided entirely by private industry. Mr. Edmonds has seen other mills in which the same policy tv as professed, in which it seemed apparent that the policy was accepted as the easiest, and the people appeared badly neglected. It did not appear so here. No doubt the people of Kannapolis could if PRISONERS ON PAROLE No Prisoner Has Yet Failed to Oom- ' ply With the Conditions When on Leave to Visit Sick Relatives. luiieigh. N. C., Nov. 20.- —OP)—AI-1 though prisoners paroled on merit j sometime violate the conditions of their parents, and are required to re-1 turn to complete their sentences, no prisoners g’vin a temporary parole to visit a ser’ously ill relative or to at tend a relatives’s funeral has yet fail- j ed to comply with the conditions of i the parole, Pardon Commissioner i Hoyle Sink said today, in discussing! his experience as pardon commission- 1 er since last April Ist. The ordinary parole is usually granted on recommendation of citi zens and friends, and, as a rule, must | be won by excellent conduct as a prisoner. Yet prisoners paroled thus. I under the supervision of a county 1 ' welfare officer, sometimes fail to live up ihs responsibilities as a paroled pr -oner, and must return to complete his sentence. But Governor McLean on the rec- ! mmendatipns of the pardon eommis „ sion, has, as a rule been rather len ient in granting temporary paroles, when the mother or wife or some other close relative of a prisoner be comes seriously ill, or when he wish es to attend the funeral of a close rel ative. And these paroles arc grant ed without recommendations as a rule other than those of -physicians concerning the Condit ; on of the rela tive ; they are frequently granted with out bond—prisoners often., cannot put up bond, said the pardon commission er ; and the prisoners go home with out supervision. i They are paroled, said Mr. Sink, on their honor, and the paroles are grant * ed as a matter of mercy to the pris er and his relatives. Yet the prison ers always return to the prison. Since Mr. Sink lias been in office some 15 or 20 have been granted such tempor ary paroles. Whether the prisoners feel grati tude or being allowed to go home in a lime of anxiety or sorrow, and re turn with a feeling of gratitude; or whether being put upon their honor is repsonsible for the fact that these temporarily paroled prisoners always return to their sentences, Mr. Sink does not say. That they always re turn, however, he sa : d, has had a ten dency to make Governor McLean len ient in granting such paroles however, he says. And ho and the Goverenor arc gratified that failures to return have not made it more difficult for a prisoner to secure a parole to visit a critically ill mother or wife, Or other relative. A peculiar feature about ithese tem porary paroles, said Mr. Sink, is the ■ fact that there have been more re quests for temporary paroles on ac count of illness or death during the past three or four weeks than during the entire time since Mr. Sink went into office last spring previous to a ; month ago.

The po - sit ion of the company here is that the - less paternalistic plan fosters n spirit ■ of independence and self-respect, and • Edmonds was told that !M)0 of" the • in'll ]s>ople have savings accounts ag gregating $170,000. . i The company owns the stores and t rents them*on 30-day terms. An ob • Streperotis merchant could bo evicted i on 30 days' notice. But the company i has never had so report to threats. From which it appears that a cer i tain degree of paternalism, carefully ■oucealed, shapes the affairs of the t wn for the welfare of the people. . The operation of good schools is i scarcely thought of as paternalist; . for every community, of nny kind whatsoever, is supposed to provide good schools. In Kannapolis fer ? ’re three *-<h bnjML gs.
