In its issue of January 11 the Manu facturers’ Record has quite a bit to say regarding NArth Carolina’s road building activities, and in addition, comments editorially as follows: 'With $120,000,000 going \into the building of highways through state, county and federal co-opei'htion, a3 told elsewhere in .this, issue, North Carolina in proportion to its populatfon and wealth is, we believe, taking the lead far away over every other state in the Union. The building of these highways saved North Carolina from much of the business depression that existed elsewhere. It stirred the am bftion of the state. It stimulated the People. It created employment at a time when employment was essential. “And so this Good Old North State has been pushing forward regardless of bad times tvith an energy that sets a standard which few states in the Union have ever.boen able to surpass. Its work should be an inspiration to every other state. Moreover, there are other features connected with the progress and prosperity of North Car olina as evinced in its wonderful road building campaign which may well cause the nation to pause and study. ‘‘Probably no state in the Union is at the present time surpassing North Carolina in material and educational progress. It is doing marvelous things outside of its road building campaign, and in the study of these facts it should be remembered that North Carolina stands at the bottom of the list as tc foreign population, and has only seven tenths of one per cent of foreign stock. Its progress is not halted by the lack of foreign immigration as many people are claiming that the progress of other sections is halted. North Carolina finds full employment for its c vn people, and it asks no help from foreign im migration. It is proving to the nation that abounding prosper:tv can prevail and that progress, which should stimu late the nation, Is' feasible without depending upon the foreigner. "North Carolina Is building schools and colleges and universities with an amazing activity. Its cotton mill de velopment has been one of the marvels of the age. It' ranks .as one of the greatest furniture producing centers of the country. Indeed, it has a wide and ever increasing variety of industries, created, managed, and financed mainly by local people and lo,eal money. Is doing this work it lifts up a standard, and it challenges every other state in the Union to match the rate of its growth; and tli£ whole of ltfs growth is largely typified and measured by the tremendous and unprecedented road building campaign which that state Is carrying on. "There is anot>>?r feature Jn connec tion with North Carolina’s wonderful progress which should command atten tion. It is one of the most law-abid ing states in the Union, and always has been. No state in the Union, we think, surpasses North Carolina in that respect. Its law-abiding qualities are indicated ih the fact that during the last year there was not a single lynching in North Carolina, though there were five each in Arkansas and Florida, and to their everlasting dis grace, eleven in Georgia, and nine in Mississippi, with Texas leading with 18. "Wherever (the mob law which finds expression through lynchings prevails there is a spirit of lawlessness which lessens the moral backbone of the peo ple, breaks down dvery sense of moral responsibility, lynches the sovereignty of the state, and lessens its progress in material as well as in educational things. "All honor, then, to North Carolina, which hds done bo marvelously well in material progress and which had not a single lynching In 1922 to blacken its fair name! May its example in this re spect, as in highway building,* school expansion, church construction and all other good things, be followed by all other states in the Union."
