The goddess of the looms must have lingered about American silk mills when designers were planning this season's ribbons. And she was in a happy and opulent mood, for the ut most In weaving has blossomed in ribbons that are all the way from gny to gorgeous. . The richness of au tumn's colorful" days, with sunshine and moonshine, all are reflected in brocaded ribbons heavy with gold and silver threads and very brilliant in sheen and color. So much beauty lures one away from the considera tion of its price which is very high. But only small quantities of the most gorgeous ribbons appear in anv apparel or dress accessories, except for evening dresses. In these wide metal-braided ribbons are used with some generosity. Mostly the wide and brilliant ribbons are used for makintr shopping bags and purses, in the crowns of hats or in sashes on hats and for vests in dresses and suits. In evening dresses of tulle or creDe or lace they make brilliant panels or girdles and occasionally a handsome afternoon frock looks to them for a touch of splendor in the girdle. 1 But bags . and purses account for more yards of magnificent ribbon than other accessories. Between now and Christmas there will be a lively busi ness at the ribbon counter where mountings for bags are sold along wiin the ribbon to mnirp thom Charlotte.

Some three hundred automobile dealers . from North and South Carolina gathered here and af f ected a permanent organization of the automobile dealers of the Caro linas. The convention endorsed all the good roads measures which ap pear to be worth attention. Southern Pines. A Boston syndt cate, with J. D. Bowman, of Winston Salem, has bought about three thou sand acres of land between Aberdeen and south of Pinebluff, including all the undeveloped lands in Pinebluff. The consideration is said to be above $125,000. Hickory. With five blockade stills, four, of them large outfits, destroyed recently by internal revenue, county and city officers, and with citizens throughout the county showing more interest in law enforcement, Sheriff John A. Isenhower was confident to day that the major portion of these il licit plants could be put out of busi ness soon. A stroll through establishments, whose styles we know to be authorita tive soon verifies the assertion made by manufacturers that tailored suits are growing fanciet. That is the first impression to be gathered from almost any display. But one must not draw conclusions too quickly. It has come to the place where there are several distinct types of the tailored suit, in cluding the knock-about suit, the walk ing suit and the promenade suit (which must be another name for what we have known as the formal suit) The knock-about and walking suits will please those who are wedded to severe tailor-made, while "promenade and formal suits are for those who like , departures from this type. ! - Probably the influence of French ideas has promoted the success of the fancier tailored suits, for the severe type has never been a favorite with Paris., Where there is no place for a gay or frivolous or dainty touch to ap parel, French designers seem to feel hampered ; they do not like the type of suit that attends strictly to the business of being practical and well made. They delight in unexpected lit tle decorative touches that have no reason for existing, except to be in teresting and good looking. All the new glove finish fabrics and' their; name is legion promote the cause of fancier suits. , Duvttyn, velours, duvet and their like, are very soft with surfaces that vary, but are never hard. Close behind them trico- tine and gabardine lend themselves to promenade suits by their textue. A fine example in a tricotine model for fall and winter wear is shown in the accompanying picture. It shows al legiance to the last decrees for longer skirts and coats and presents odd em placements of material on the 'skirt and coat, with braid, buttons, and but tonholes cleverly managed to elaborate both. The collar Is unusual with straight revers that extend over the shoulder and widen at the back into a small square cape. The coat is open to the waistline at the front, making plenty . of opportunity for a fancy blouse or vestee. The choker of fur is a "separate affair. The choker collar is everywhere present, but Is often convertible and Is either of fur or fur fabric or of the material In the suit. inston. As a feature of the tobac co belt fair to be held here next month Kinston manufacturers and merchants will stage an industrial parade a mile or so in length. Between 50 and 100 floats, some of them of expensive de sign, will be rigged up. Wilmington. The strike which be gan at the Carolina shipyard be cause of alleged discrimination in th employment of negro labor became general when other crafts, both union and non-union, quit. The strike has been without viot lence and an early adjustment of th matter is expected. 1 Benson.

The artesian well la now over four hundred feet deep and is supplying over 75 gallons a minute. Winston-Salem. Mss Dewitt Chat ham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Chatham, and one of the Twin City's most charming and attractive young ladies, has been chosen to christen winstonsaiem, one or the new boats to be built by the United States government Reidsville. The long talked of park and playground for Reidsville il now an established fact The com pany that recently purchased the Whitsett' farm of 152 acres in and ad joining the city limits, has given to the city sufficient ground for a park, Having Gay Dream. Washington (Special). Senator Simmons has received a downpour of letters from the state saying that when Dr. H. Q. Alexander reports that North Carolina is opposed to the league of nations he is having a gay dream. Among those who have written are Governor Bickett and scores of school teachers college professors, farmers Belts are narrow and may, be taken an Professional mep. It is estimated off so that the suit is worn with or Dy 8me or those in position to know without them. Occasionally a suit Is shown with two belts, one of the fab ric and one of leather. Not all coats are long. There are those of the short ripple variety . that seem to be liked best in the dressier suits. Their bodies that 95 per cent of the people are with the president.

Mr. Lister stop ped his car at the gasoline station on the corner of the road. As he .did so the child stepped out of her father's car to the street and directly in front of Winstow's car. The child's neck was broken, her lower Jaw fractured and the base of the brain dislocated by, the blow. Death was practically In stantaneous. ' Winston-Salem. Approximately 5, 000 people were added to the popula tion of Winston-Salem as the result of an annexation election. The out come of the election was in doubt till the end and the annexation proved successful by but 21 votes. The registration for the election was about 400. At a previous elec tion on the same question, the annexa tion proposition lost by two votes. Live Cotton Association. Monroe. Union county has one of the most enthusiastic cotton associ ations, in the state. J. N. Price, state senatoris president, and W. S. Blake ney, prominent banker, is secretary and treasurer.
