THE HERALD Of The Twin Cities ROANOKE RAPIDS—ROSEMARY CdUMMLL WILSON, Publisher and gdttor Intend n Secnd Qftna matter April 3rd, 1314, at the Patentee •* Bnnake Bapids, North Carolina, under Act ef Onab tad. l*t». __ BMtsm* UTflOUBAPHEBS, ENGKAVEBS VOTE AND VOTE RIGHT Next Tuesday is election day. On that day, the voters of this community will go to the polls to decide whether or not the corporate limits will be extended to include more area. This will be a momentous day in our city history. It will be no small day in the history ot the State, for, if the vote is for city extension. North Carolina will have one more large city of 9,000 souls where today, it has two towns of half that number, one incorporated, the other un incorporated. We have spent many hours, tapped many a typewriter key-, probably- made some enemies, by our constant fight since the day we landed here 28 months ago, to have one city in this communi ty. But we have never wavered in our belief that the BIGGER CITY PLAN means bigger and bet ter things for every man, woman and child. Not overnight, not in a few weeks, but in the years to come we see a vision of real metro polis, not of mills and buildings alone, but of a more united, happier people. There must be a be ginning to everything, and the beginning of that vision is on Tuesday of next week. And we might say, the starting of that be beginning was in the enormous registration just completed. More than 2,7UU voters registered in the proposed area. Think of it. That is almost as many votes cast in the entire county in an off year. And that huge registration could never have been accomplished without the efforts of an organized group of men who had made up their minds to work together. There's your secret. There’s the reason why we do not fear the out come Tuesday nor in the years to come. Give the proper workers the right kind of leaders and a righteous goal to work for and there is nothing in this wide world impossible. Our last appeal. Go to the polls Tuesday and vote FOR city extension. SOMETHING ELSE TO BE PROUD OF YVe know we express the sentiments of the Associated Charities Board when we say the drive last week for 19di funds was a pleasing surprise and a source of real joy to those who have labor ed that this movement be a real and permanent success in the community. Out of the goodness of their hearts, this community gave willingly and well, in cash and by pledges, to the end that the needy may be helped and suffering may be alleviated during the months to come. Particularly gratifying were the collections from the mill employees. YVe will be frank in saying there was much trepidation on the part of the workers in approaching many persons this year; persons who would gladly give, under nor mal conditions. The word went out that if the money was raised this year, the bulk of it must come from the business and professional men. But the mill employees, handled by a corps of splendid workers, came to bat and knocked a home run against Old Man Depression’s team. A noticeable point was that, while the amount se cured from mill employees, was slightly less than last year, the number giving was greater. And it would not be fair unless we mention ed the perfect work accomplished by the Kiwanis Club members who worked the business sections and raised more funds than the total amount raised in the drive last year. All going to show that where there’s a will there’s a way and that this old community of ours is on the up and going. On behalf of Associated Charities, we wish to thank every worker and every giver. You can’t help being proud of your town when you can go out and raise over $1,500 almost overnight for Associated Charities. Better money was nev I er given by better people to be better spent. AN HONOR TO OUR CITY Two local men made the front pages of the newspapers last week because of the honors be stowed on them by the industry in which they work, which is the paramount industry of our community. Quoting from the news dispatches, the Ra leigh News and Observer commented in its edi torial columns on the gratification of the State that T. W. Mullen had been elected president of the Southern Textile Association. Knowing how Mr. Mullen feels about the slight error made in describing his position, we call attention to it [while publishing in full the editorial. It is indeed a great honor which has come to the general superintendent of Rosemary Manu facturing Co. largest damask mill in the world. And a merited one. Two outstanding feature? come to mind in thinking of the man. They can be expressed in the simplest English. First, he knows his business. Secondly, he is beloved by his employees. If he possessed those two attri butes only, his success in his field is explainable, for therein lies the secret we all seek in our en deavor to prosper. Many men have one or the other, but the successful and happy man must have both. That may be the reason we are so happy over this honor which has come to one ol one of our citizens. JI. R. Vick of the same organization was elected to the Board of Control of the Association but Mr. Vick made the front pages in no uncertain way by not so mtuh what he was as what he said. He opened the eyes of the members with old truths expressed in new ways and so forcibly as to catch the public fancy and have them broadcast to the world. We hope to publish Mr. Vick's ad dress in full at a later date so the home folks can get an idea of just what kind of men we send away to represent us at the Textile Association meetings. The News and Observer editorial was as fol lows : Tt is gratifying to all his friends and to the textile industry that T. W. Mullen, head of the big textile nulls at Rosemary and Roanoke Rapids has been elected president of the Southern Tex tile Association. He is capable and comes from mills which have not fallen into the rut of pro ducing one cotton product. These mills have pro duced finished products and done more to make them known than most Southern mills. At the meeting held in Charleston last week, the best speech was made by M. R. Vick, of Rose mary. “How in the world,” asked Mr. Vick, as quoted by the Associated Press, “do you expect people to buy your goods unless they are told where to buy them and what quality they will get?” Some textile manufacturers are taking a leaf out of the experience of cigarette manufac turers, who find that they must advertise their brands to increase the demand or to prevent re duced demand. “How in the world do you expect people to buy ycur goods unless they are told where to buy them and what quality they will get?” is a question that will he seriously consider ed by all manufacturers who are not content to travel on the same lines of the seventies. Sup pose Mr. Duke had been satisfied to continue to sell by retail Duke’s tobacco from the back of a covered wagon traveling from place to place! There is food for reflection in that suggestion. Mr. Vick made another wise observation which chambers of commerce, boards of trade and like organizations should consider. “We must said Mr. Vick, “stop our chambers of commerce and other civic organizations advertising that we have chceap labor conditions, and make them state the truth as it is, that we have, when pro perly trained, not cheap labor, but the best labor on earth.” The South has been hurt by the ad vertisement of “cheap labor.” When trained it is efficient and will be better paid when conditions in the textile industry improve, as they will by the adoption of the best policies. The way to the coming better day was pointed out by Frank K. Petrea, of Columbus ,Ga., who said: “Machines do not have brains, they cannot generate new ideas. We have all the improved machinery and the changes it has brought about. There are still great changes to come. New ideas that work are in great demand and these ideas must come from -INGS THAT NEVER HAPPEN t By t;ENZ BYRNES ^ X IM ft n ftcToB 1 ftNt> VO LIKE To PM MS WM If* to iet Tt*»» Sv*ov*! / / i/rkk ^Oiv ~ / ^XCt,'9tt£* > b’UiL* -'V,v ff ;*1rti(,t' <-°uJ (l ^*^'**•1, f : men like us.” Making up-to-date products, letting their merits be adver tised and putting new ideas to work is the trinity that will make the textile industry pros perous. ******** STRAIGHT SHOOTING By OLD TIMER Will any T Model Fords be in ope ration in the year 2031 ?—What has become of the old umbrella repair men?—The Shoo-fly train used to bring in mail at 8 P.

It has gone so far now I expecct everyone knows who “Old Timer” really is—so it makes no difference i to them, to others, or to “Old Timer” himself. Everything is all right, “K 0,” just so my wife doesn’t leave me. Here are two humorous and con flicting viewpoints:—The few citi zens (I know four) who are main taining a vicious and whispering com paign to defeat incorporation say that with a few more votes it will be defeated, and one of their arguments for its defeat is that the matter will be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States if the vote is favor able. They say they have the elec tion defeated but still they argue, in order to defeat the election, that some one with money will fight the incorporation to the highest court in te country, and it takes a lot of mon ey to do that, and no one in Roanoke j Rapids or Rosemary—so far as I know—has a lot of money.
