Mclflayer's conduct of the Sana torium yesterday morning. Testimo ny to this effect by the fa ther of tlie young womau, and more testimony of poor food, dirty dishes, lack of attention to the needs of pa tients, unsatisfactory sanitary condi tions, leaky roofs of the men'.- shack, maile up the morning se.-siou of the committee, with counsel for cross ex amining all witnesses. Question of further hennugs dui ing the aensaun uf the general assembly, wine hhas now settled Into high speed, was discussed by members of the com mittee yesterday morning, but definite decision as to the program was de ferred until a later meeting. Miss Ruth Cain, according to the testimony of her father.

"This youiig >ady is ile.nl," said Mi Hinsdale, insisting on the admissir.r cf the letter, "and we claim that sin is dead by reason of iaegleCt at the Sanatorium. This letter tells how ,-lif neglected ami how site coiiti-acted «'eunsy as a result of it-" In that letter Miss Uaa .-dated that she was "sick, with "nobody b> do any - thing for her." that she had t ailed a u'ic.ar at noon liut none cant? un 'lll the text afternoo*. •'•f ;ou are sick in this pla-e. \ • ■■iOt pet any attention," she sai>. de*rta«..ng M> some trooMe wt.. a tr .ai e.ade it necessary for pai er • . to go through a lolig c«»hl an.l ji.»-k hall at night to reach it."

THE ENTERPRISE POPULATION DRIFT IS NOW TO SOUTH j FOLKS WILL LEA* E NORTH BE CAUSE OF HUE JOB OF KEEP ING SO MANY WARM The cold weatther of February will ! tell to the man who caies to listen | to a story of North Carolina's pros pects. North C;/«.lina is destined to be one of the great manufacturing state- of the union, ami when that time conn's, one of tlie foremost of farming states, for the fanning that will be done when* this is a ureal manufacturing slate will lie fanning of a vastly different kind from the pre?en( one. It will be intensive ami piedactivc and profitable. Coal weather is one of the most forceful influences that will dominate industry of the future Today the great pioldeni in the nortli is to keep warm, a problem the people of the ouLh do not understand It is now thought by a great many that the hip o"e of coal is to run factories, liut that is not the case. Moving trains is.the biggest task of the rml mines, aad keeping the people warm is an other of them. North Carolina has 53 people to the square mile. Rhode Island has eleven times that many, Pennsylvania four times as many, New- York four times as many*. New Jer sey eight times as many, ami Massa chusetts nine times as many. These sis state* contain over a fourth of all the population of the United State-. They have an area not quite twice that of "North -Carolina. If North' Ca rolina had the same imputation to the mile it would have over fourteen mil lion people. The 2£,tloo.lon inhabitants of the six states must have real to keep them warm dnrhig about eight months >f the year, liut one of t lie six states has any real, and that Is Penns\lva nia. In the east it has anthracite in a limited territory, and in the west it has soft coal. Outside of the two fields" that produce coal in Pennsylva nia. all the rest of these six gates must haul coal during- two thirds "of the year to keep the peo|ile warm. (Vial i» the biggest item of freight moved by the railroads. About one .third of all ttie tonnage hauled is coal. The rAal moved by tl.e railroads Is about three ''times the tonnage of nil J tha> products of the farms moved by mads. It. is twice the tonnage moved from mills anfl farlorie-i. It i- three times the tonnage moved from th« lumbea eitaWblinieMls. Hlioling coal to keep the |ieople warm in tlie north as the big job of the railroads ami the coal the ruad* u.-e to make attain to haul e*d to keep people warm is one of the hippesl factors of con-umption of coal.

According to the lecords being kept by Mr. Dail. these hogs ate during the fit days of Jan uary, 4.253 pounds of feed. worth at market prices ft>6.sS. -Looks leek less, doesn't it." asks W. W.

Mr.Shay states that by the latter part of March these hogs will be worth well over JI.INIO and thi- eives an ex cellent weapon with which to arrur with the fertilizer supply man Ca*h in March is usually scarce on the a\ erage tenant farm in North Carolina but Mr. Dail seems to have found how to have it. Mr. Shay says, "Somehow we ca> "! get away from the belief that cadi for fertiliser is even better than ered it, no matter how easily obtained. A great many farmer- have not yet re covered from the effects of the «v-e with which tliey got 2 credit •hiring 1919. "What we especially like about hog is tlie fact that with ptoper manage ment one ha> two crops per year.
