HOME CAPITAL DOING IT. liaU'Mrh Times. We have beard so much of tbe development of the South by Northern capital that it is time a word of protest was entered, lest the people mistake the forces that are working for the upbuilding of the South. We appreciate the Northern capital that is coming to us, and we want more of it, we welcome and solicit it. But something must,be said about what the people of the South are themselves doing for the develop ment of their section. For many years North Carolina sat in the midst of her agricultural poverty and industriallethargy.and plead for "Northern capital" to come down and develop the State. But her pleadings fell on deaf ears and the money from the rich and populous North came not. Then there aroBt* a ra<?eof men who de cided that if our industries were to be developed and our resources utilised, It must be by ourselves. These men took up the task that looked so unpromising and united the few dollars they had to har ness streams and build factories. Out of these small beginnings li.o e come the great industries thai now make North Carolina the leading mauufnctiu ing State of the South. < >ut of a single little factory at Ilaw River has, been developed the thirty three big mills of Alamance In Chat lotti . in Oastonia.in Durham and other tow ns the profits from the smaller mills have built larger ones, and the example of these' centres ha.', been followed b.v other towns until now North Carolina has in operation 205 factories that use cotton in some form, spinning, weaving, dyeing and' finishing the cloth for market; ! making yarns, sheetings denims, cotton; idtv. weaving carpets,! knitting hosiery and underwear?! until ilii State now consumes' every bale of cott-on it produces, j When a the rough investigation . v. as l. iii'h four years ago it was i found I hat 05 per cenl of the en-} tire industry w as ow ned 1>\ North Carolinians. Nearly every mem-! Lei < I t Lt Southern Spinners' j Association owns and manages! his own mill. f ft ra tile same small tvgiu nings came thetoln; ,;.h> industry, which biv- assumed vast propor tions.

Five j sixths oft this immense truck j garden is owned and farmed by \ natives who wotkeu or t the prob*'? lems of culture for theiriselves. i Furniture manufacturing ha.-.i become of su. tr importance that i Vorth Caroiiua leads the South j and is rapidly becoming one ofi the two or threelcudingfurniture; making States.

All tins' (.11:.(?!< ui : single, local factory. North! arolina now has more than n hundred furniture factories, titid !>."? per cent, of them are owned and operated by our own people. The same is true of almost all our indust ries. They have been developed with small capital by natives of the State. Our Cap-: tains of Industry are "nntiveand j to the manor born." < >ur indus tries ate now firmly established,' we have brought them to sue-' cess. They are no longer an ex | perinwnt, and investment inthem is safe and profitable. We have had little money from outside in! the past, and our industries are; even now suffering for lack of capital. We will give our North-, ern brethren the warmest wel come and invite them to co-oper ate with us in our industrial de velopment.

A laugh is just like sunshine. It freshens all the <lay; It tips the peak of life with light. And drives the clouds away: The soul grows glad that hours it. And feels its courage strong A laugh is just like sunshine For cheering folks aloug. A laugh is Just like music; It lingers in the heart: And where its melody is board The ills of life depart; And happy thoughts come crowding lt? joyful notes to grtvet? A laugh Is just like music For making living sweet! ?St. UjuIs Republic. The Dead Poet. Writing of his friend Theopilos H. Hill, of Raleigh, Dr. Kings bury, in the WilmTugton Messen ger pays the following brief but merited tribute to the dead poete This writer only a few weeks ago had sent him by Mr. Hill a poem that may have be his last, and its subject and sentiment uot only manifested an abiding trust and unclouded hope as to the better life beyond, nut the poem reads now in view of his death as if he may have had a vision of a speedy close of life and the coining glory that awaited him. His lust stanzas were these: "For I know thui His meivv endure!It, T at ii had uevt r wuitcd former (Tie life my (salvation cuocieth, And thine, foj lit wuiteu &<r tl?<^ "Ad of old. c vci new the sweet *iot > Or Christ -the Uodoemer of men Whcu irracc la trunf figui e l U) glorv Mat we sii)tr It togetlw-r again ' We knew Mr. Hill since about ISJ8. In that yem or the year later we read his first volume of: verse, and wrote of it at some length, perhaps as mud. m two columns in a newspaper. lie. w as not a prolific \ < 1 eider, but he produced some poems of true melody and y race, and with 01 iginal inspiration of thir own..

We mean that he has, uo superior among our native j singers with their "wood-notes; wild." Indeed, upon a recasting1 of judgment wc* incline to thci opinion that Theonhdns Hill was i the itt st of North Carolina poets. ? We are not essaying t" writ', a eriti. i-on tot that was nonelort i ago. We add mereh chat tike, al! poets he l ad moods. Some-; time? he was even ga,t, something; rollicking in his humor.
