SATURDAY JULY 7. 1923
"Nags Head is cal|ipg you,"
says an advertisement. We hear
the call, all right, old friend, but
we have to keep sawing wood,
thank you.
iv> 't it awful that ever since
that State Board of Health boll
weevil story you feel like you're
chewing up boll weevils when
you crunch a juicy blackberry".'
Those who enjoyed the Shel
by fight soi'viec givon?by?this
newspaper should thank Manag
er Sykes of the Western Union
as well as The Advance for it.
Mr. Sykes stayed on the job un
til 8 o'clock, or two hours be
yond his regular holiday hours
in order that The Advance
might get the news and in order
that Elizabeth City fight fans
need not 'phone to Norfolk for
it.
Dr. Dixon Carroll told the
summer school teacher-students
at Raleigh recently that mod
ern girls are much like those of
1776, after all. Which is con
vincing, for Dr. Carroll herself
was a pioneer as a woman phy
sician in the South, and knows
"what it takes of work and cour
age to succeed in the face of dif
ficulty. Her knowledge of wo
mankind is real, and her sym
pathy for her sex has been prac
tically demonstrated by what
she has done to make Samnr
cand, that refuge for those who
have stepped too far beyond the
pale, a reality.
Making Mountain* Out of
Mole Hills
Half the time everybody nets
wrought up over things that arc
of l}ttle importance in them
?J0VM&' and whose significance
?they Immensely overrate. I
When' the Ipte J. P. Caldweil
began editing the Charlotte Ob
server along independent and
newer lines back in the nineties, j
John R. Webster, the editor of
Webster's Weekly, filled about
every one of his papers with ar
ticles intended to keep things
straight and to show Mr. Cald
well the error of his way. At
first the Observer argued a lit
tle but stopped when it found
the controversy interminable.
Then the Weekly came out
along about the Fourth uf July
with a three column editorial
giving Mr. Caldwell hail Colum
bia. The only reply that Mr.
Caldwell made was something
like this:
"We see that Webster's Week
ly had three columns alxiut the
sins of the Observer, which we
haven't time to read now. In the
fall when the weather is cooler
we may read it and make some
kind of n reply."
When people cannot agree
they ought to quit and let it go
at that. The News esteems it
self somewhat of a friend to
both Tom Bost and the Gover
nor, but we wish they would
quit. Their mutual antipathies
arc not public matters at all,
and it Will all end just where it
started, mutual dislike. The
Governor can't please Tom and
Tom ?n't please the Governor,
and that's about all there is to
it.?Goldsboro News.

Little Plant Makes
A Thriving Industry
Candelilli Grows Wild Near
Mexican Border And Lotfks
I ? Like a Mere Weed
Alpine. Texas. July 7.?The Can-,
jdelilla plant, little known away from'
ithe Mexican border, and growing:
'wild, is being made the source of'
|large money returns. The business
.of extracting wax from the plant Is I
.expanding and now large shipments,
laer made to England and other for
Ielgn countries.
The plant, a shrub about four feet I
(high. resectables a weed, and has nev
er been cultivated to any extent. The
stem is round and waxy, and it is es
timated Ave tons of the plant grow
to an acre. The yield of wax Is from
3 to 3 4 per cent, and sells for about
27 cents a pound.
Factories for refining the wax'
have large vats of boiling water. The
| plant it* dumped into the vats, sul-;
? phuric acid is added, and in time the<
j wax frees Itself, rises to the top of)
the liquid and Is skimiued off. Wax)
ready for market Is flinty, and is'
broken Into small pieces and shipped
In sacks. It Is used as a base for
varnish, fillers, floor polishes, talk
ing machine recorat ana waterproor
ing materials.
When all the wax has been ex-1
tracted the fiber remaining is pitched
from the vats with large forks, al
lowed to dry and then burned as fueli
under the factory boilers.
As the plant grows wild, requir-i
Ing no cultivation, the cost of the
shrub is small. eMxlcan laborers
usually gather it. The factories op-1
erate the year round, and the de-'
mand for wax is said to be greater
than the supply. Its manufacture is
coming to be one of the recognized
border Industries.
