NORTH CAROLINA
AND ITS CLIMATE
The Estimate a Northern
er Places on the State-
Greatest Range of Trees
f ' and Plant Life—Where
Buckwheat ajid Apples
Grow to Perfection.
In one of the excellent letters
f * wiitteu by him for The Southern
Pines Tourist, Mr. Bion H. Butler
J discusses the remarkable and al
most unique climatic advantages of
North Carolina. To his mind—he
is'a Pennsylvania!! by early babi
tation, we believe, and has traveled
widely—the most desirable climate
* in the United States exists .here
Protected by high mountains at
one end and tempered by the ocean
at the other, North Carojina has a
more extended range of tempera
ture than any other state east of
the Mississippi valley. Of this
range he sayfe: 'Up in the mount
ain couuties the climate is much
like that around western Pennsyl
vania, owing to the distance from
the coast and the altitute. The
people of Mitchell couaty may be
shoveling snow, while the people
of Columbus county, in the same
State, are eating strawberries and
green peas and new cabbages."
1» And again:
On this account North Carolina
has the greatest range of trees
of auy State of th«i Uniton. Down
by the coast are the palmettos and
the semi-tropical vegetation. In
the mountains are tlie hardy
spruces, hemlocks and laurels
* found away up in Canada. The
botanist can find more varieties of
plant life iu shorter range iu the
State than anywhere else in the
i) entire country. The crop range of
the State is great on that ac
, count. Cotton is a favoritee crop
in one .section. In another section
theyknow no more about cotton than
1 L farmer of Pennsylvania does. But
1/ they know how to make bitf kwheat
U and potatoes and apples and the
R cold weather crops The buck-
wheat and the apples of the North
m/ Carolina mountain section are fam-
I ous throughout the land and in
Nf some of the foieign territory, for
apples have a habit of going away
from home.
While recognizing both the su
perior excellence and range of cli
|| matic conditions in North Carolina
U Mr. Butler extends bis praise to all
r . "that long, narrow strip of coast
land- about a hundred miles in
witdh, reaching from somewhere
If about Long Inland, along the ocean,
clear down to the Rio Grande, on
the Mexican border." Here he is
J doubtless governed by the hea'th
-1 resort standpoint. This strip in its
lower reaches, has, indeed, tbe
very mild climate for which many
t people come South, but there are
parts of it where conditions do not
conduce to the highest human ac-
V tivity and efficiency. Below tbe
North Carolina line, cotton mills
1 on tbe cOast have almost invariably
| * proved failures, and even before
i water power had become an impor
tant consideration, climatic selec
tion had located the center of
I » Southern industrial development in
the up-country region. This lower
Southern coast region has immense
opportunities The climate is no
drawback to most forms of enter
prise and greatly assists some, but
I-' we do not by any means consider
it a positive advantage —Selected.

Everetts Scored Splendidly
_ The educational movement in
Martin County has not ceased.
People are daily recoguiziug the
fact that better schools and more
of them should be the keynote.
Everetts, which has been making
some needed improvements in
buildings recently, has made a glor
ious record iu voting for the estab
lishment of a graded school. Last
week the election was held and
there was uot oue dissenting voice.
Forty five registered and forty
voted, casting it solid for better
educational advantages. No towp
iu North Carolina can make a bet
ter showing in that line. Nothing
can mark a towu more than the co
operatiqp of its citizensou a thing
which makes for improvement.
The town is small but is setting an
example to those larger places
which show signs of moss.

The Devil ot Debt
The devil of debt stems to be on
the heels of almost everybody. The
bookkeeper's in debt. Ditto the
typewriter. Same with the porter
and drayman. As for the superin
tendent, he can't remember when
he wasn't. The office boy would
be in debt if anybody would trust
him. And all of them complaining
and acknowledging the miserable
ness of their condition. Debt is a
mortgage on your salary. Debt is
a monument to a young man's
weakness, a grown man's failure in
the University of Life. Debt is
discounting tomorrow's opportunity
for today's good time. Debt is a
quit claim deed to your wife's con
fidence, your children's ambition
and your own self-respect. Debt
is a guaranteed insurance policy
against happiness. "Then what
are we going to do?" says a chorus
of young fellows and business men
and aspiring women, and. laborers
and clerks., and managers, and
street car conductors, and hundreds
more. Do without it! It will take
some backbone. It will take some
genuine courage. But you'll be
able to hold your head up—and
that's more than you can do now,
you know it.—Ex.

WHy Should Judge Manning be
"Turned Down"
TJie people of North Carolina arc
to be congratulated that they have
two such worthy gentlemeu.stauuch
Democrats and eminent jurists as
Judges Mauuing and Allen as as
pirants for the high and honorable
office of Associate Justice \>f our
Supreme Court, because :itlier of
them would fill that position with
credit to himself and honor to the
State. And yet, while thrsis true,
we think that Democratic usage
and common fairness demand the
nomination of Judge Manning.
During the forty-two years, since
1868, that our judges have been
nominated by political conventions
and elected by a vote of the people,
no Democratic State Convention
has "turned down," or refused to
nominate, the appointee of the
Governor, and only four dibtriit
conventions have refused to nomi
nate the judge ol a district who
had been appointed by him. So
that according to. Democratic us.ige
Judge Maqnitig should be nominat
ed.
Common fairness also demands
his nomination, and tho people of
North Carolina are fair-minded.
Judge Manning has "made good"
the Governor's appointment of him,
for he has surely met the high ex
pections of hi» many frie.ids who
urged his appointment. He has
worn the judiciol ermine . most
worthily, and his opinions are rank
ed among the best ever delivered
by any judge of our Supreme
Court. Now lawyer doubts his
fitness for the office. lucharacttr,
legal learning, party service and
judical tenif>erament he is worthy
ot receiving the endorsement by his
partv of the Governor > appoint
men'. And why should he not re
ceivt- it' The only objection sug
gested is that another good Demo
crat wants it!
Is this a sufficient reason for
down" Judfce Manning
and rebuking Governor Kitcbin
Idt appointing him? While, of
course the Democratic partv has
the power to rebuke a Governor for
any appointment made by him, yet
does Governor Kitchin deserve
such a rebuke in his appointment
of Judge Manning? If Governor
Kitchin had appointed Judge Al
len instead of Judge Manning, when
both were aspirants for appoint
ment, and he had discharged the
duties of his office as well as Judge
Manning has (and we do not doubt
that he would have done) then we
would have urged Judge Allen's
nomination for the same reasons
about given for Judge Manning's
nomination.
In tliis connection we may ra n
tion the Democrats of this State,
so far back as iByB, thought Judge
Manning worthy of judical honors,
for at the election tint year he was
their candidate for judye of the
Fifth Judicial District, and receiv
ed more votes than any other
Democratic candidate on tlie
State ticket, although all were de
feated by the Fusion ticket.—The
Chatham Record, April 27. 1910.
