Western Carolina As An Educationol Sectional Just why collages and ouier educational institutions are located In certain places and not in others Is a problem hard to solve. Quite frequently colleges are the outgrowth of smaller schools, which have been established by some local educator. Locations have not been chosen, but have just "happened." But most of the school in western North Carolina have sught this location because of Its wonderful climate, and its superior health conditions. With an elevatioa of more than .'.Joo feet above the sea level, western North Carolina has an Invigorating and health-giving atmosphere. The dryness of the air prevents the cold from being felt eveu as much as it is in places further south. Then the surrounding mountain ranges beak the col dwinds of the winter, giviug a protection which is most Girls and boys who come to this section from the low cuntry soon show the results of the bracing air, I))* growing stronger and more vigorous. The inspiring views of the mountains obtained on every hand, have a part in making big men and women. No matter how old a man or woman may bo he will never oro-t tho mountains when once he has ived aniog them. Western North Carolina has a number <>f splendid schools and colluges. and is destined to become the scat of other institutions of learning it is a section which is Just coining into its own, and it would be had to (predict what the next 10 or 2?) years holds in store for this favore,) section.

During the past summer Mr. Brownlee has spent nearly f50,000 in the construction and furnishing of three handsome cottages adjoining the hotol, which are adaptable for family or individual use.

The 10 centre of this Southern development r" says the statement, has been th Piedmont section of North Carolina. m Jn 1924 tha Southern mills consumn" I ed 63 percent of the cotton used in j all American mills. Of that amount i. i ln North Carolina mills consumer a ie | third. In the same year North Ca j rolina led all the Southern States ie except Texas in the production of h" cotton,w hile its mi'ls led the South a- in active spindles and wore topped 3-> only by South Carolina in active looms. The alue of the products of 'P North Carolina textile mills is aplV" proximately one-sixth of the entire '2- United States production. >r?" Following this great expansion of at the textile mill business," declares er the statement, "there must neces y. sarily come to North Carolina the ^ establishement of textile machinery )r~ plants to serve her mills. There th must come a further diversification he in manufacturing bringing bleachinn plants, finishig plants, silk mills, car >e" pet and rug mills, dye plants and the allied mills. There will come ?e considerable development of selling IB agencies and organirations. ar "Four big artificial silk mills at he ready in the South have proved the ed inviting advantages of this sectior re and wil ishortly be followed by oth ch ers. As an indication of the trenc >n- of development, some of the larger us mills have extensive plans drawn foi and actually under construction i 16 carefully workedout scheme of ex al pansion over a period of year thai ng will take the raw cotton t!brough ch each step of manufacture to finished n- goods in fancy dress materials or sheeting ana uraperies 01 a 1111 of quality not believed possible in Am hi- erica a few years ago.
