SOUTH’S BUILDING
ACTIVITY CLIMBS
Manufacturers’ Record Says
New Work Started in Febru
ary Totals $195,880,000
BALTIMORE, March 2.—W—
Newly initiated work placed under
contract in Southern states con
struction in February totaled $195,
880,000, a 38 per cent increase
over January, the manufacturers’
record said today.
Of this, it reported, 74 per cent
“represented industrial expansion
and a substantial increase in pri
vately financed building. This is an
upsurge of remarkable proportions
and surpasses the record for in
dustrial and private financed build
ing work over a long period.”
Contracts awarded in the two
months this year totaled $337,097,
000, nearly three times the $124,
575,000 valuation in the first two
months of “the all-time banner
year of 1940.”
The record added:
“A highlight survey of the in
dustries mainly responsible for the
huge industrial contract total
shows great shipyards being es
tablished on both the South Atlan
tic and Gulf coasts; steel plants
expanding to handle requirements
of bot hthese shipbuilding activi
ties and of a tremendously in
creased construction for defense;
a rolling mill for aluminum to
supply rising aircraft production
power stations to generate elec
tricity to run the myriads of ma
chines operating night and day
under the ‘all-out’ program.”
In February, the report con
tinued. private building more than
doubled, with a valuation of $lb,
522.000 representing “the highest
point reached since last April.’’
Road contracts totaled $11,52C,
000, compared with a low of $b -
370.000 in January. 5
The United States imports half
its supply of aluminum, needed for
aircraft, in the form of bauxite
ore. 3
COHEN’S TRIAL
TO START TODAY
Wake County Man Faces Sec
ond Fight to Escape the
State’s Gas Chamber
RALEIGH, March 2.—Oft—Wood
row Cotten's second court fight to
save himself from asphyxiation in
Central prison’s lethal gas cham
ber will begin Wednesday in Wake
superior court.
The state supreme court granted
a new trial to the 27-year old White
Oak farmer, who was convicted
last April 20 of the shotgun slaying
of his 50-year old mother-in-law,
Mrs. Mary Lee Herndon.
Cotten was sentenced to death
in the April trial by Judge Claw
son I. Williams. Cotten’s wife, 20
year old, auburn-haired Margaret
Cotten, was declared not guilty of
the crime by the same jury that
convicted Woodrow.
The trial—one of the most spec
tacular in Wake county criminal
history—was attended by crowds of
spectators, who jammed the nar
ro wconflnes of the Wake court
room to capacity. Testimony in
the case dragged through an en
tire week.
Mrs. Herndon was slain last Feb
ruary 19 as she stepped into a
feed shed in the rear of her home.

‘Jesus Christ’ Subject
Of the Lesson-Sermon
“Christ Jesus” was the subpect
of the lesson sermon in all Christian
Science churches and societies
yesterday.
The Golden Text was from Isaiah
9: 6, 7. “Unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given. . .Of the in
crease of his government and
peace there shall be no end, upon
the throne of David, and upon his
kingdom, to order it, and to estab
lish it with judgment and with jus
tice from henceforth even for
ever.”
Among the citations which com
prised the letsson-sermon were the
following from the Bible: “And
Jesus walked in the temple in
Solomon’s porch. Then came the
Jews round about him, and said
unto him, How long dost thou make
us to doubt? If thou be the Christ,
tell us plainly. Jesus answered
them. I told you, and ye believed
not: the works that I do in my
Father’s name, they bear witness
of me. I and my Father are one."*
(John 10:23-25 and 30).
•o *
The lesson-sermon also includ
ed the following passages from th«
Christian Science textbook
“Science and Health with Key t«
the Scriptures" by Mary Bakei
Eddy. “The divine image, idea,
or Christ was, is and ever will be
inseparable from the divine Pri».
ciple, God. Jesus referred to thia
unity of his spiritual identity thus:
‘Before Abraham was, I am; ‘I
and my Father are one;’ ‘My
Father is greater than I.’ By the6e
sayings Jesus meant, not that the
human Jesus was or is eternal,
but that the divine idea or Christ
was and is so and therefore ante
dated Abraham; not that the cop
oreal Jesus was one with the
Father, but that the spiritual idea
Christ, dwells forever in the bosom
of the Father, God, from which it
illumines heaven and earth; not
that the Father is greater than
Spirit, which is God, but greater,
infinitely greater, than the flesh
ly Jesus, whose earthly career wai
brief.” (Page 333).

“Melody" Subject of
Interesting Article
By Cat Stone Concern
Of the many different themes rep
resented by various forms of memo
rial art, one of the most significant
and outstanding surely must be the
beautiful and inspiring cross tablet.
This is the subject of another in
teresting article published through
the courtesy of the Carolina Cut
Slone company, local builders and
erectors for monuments of all kinds.
MELODY
“When soft voices die, wrote Shel
ley, music vibrates in the memory
and, to borrow a kindred thought
from Coleridge, all melodies are the
echoes of that voice, all colors a dif
fusion from that light. As we suffer
the burden and discord of life-ft
may be difficult for us to agree with
Ruskin that all one’s life is music
if one touches the notes rightly and
in tune. But If we take the larger
view of life and liken it to a sym
phony composed of many movements
with concerted harmonies followed
by tumultuous discords, how very
apt the simile becomes. Indeed, has
it not been said by some poet or
philosopher that discord was but har
mony misunderstood? And was it not
Lewis Morris who wrote that rest
springs from strife and discordant
notes beget divinest harmonies? The
truth of this we cannot reasonably
deny and so returning to our simile
and thoughts of the voice that is
stilled, may we not liken memory to
the sweet strain of a plaintive melo
dy coursing its way through the
structure of a symphony . . . through
the song and sorrow of life? For the
melody in cadence sweet remains
with us long after the mighty struc
ture of the symphony has spent it
self.
By students of esthetics, architec
ture is often called frozen music;
for like a melody, architecture in
volves rhythm, unity, harmony and
other elements of effect employed
in music. And in memorial art, no
single type of monument surpasses
the modern variant of the ancient
stele and erect cross tablet in fea
turing these elements. Picture, if
you can, the towering monolith. Like
its ancient prototype, the lines are
decidedly vertical, expressing aspira
tion. The work is hewn from a
single block of marble. There is
grace, rhythm and unity. Like the
melodious strains of some mighty
choral, it lifts the soul heavenward
and there at the pinnacle is the
Cross of Calvary, emblazoned with
inlaid gold and telling its message
to the ages. Yes, truly the artist can
make music of architecture, music
that inspires and lives.”

Spirittine Chemical Company Manufacturers
Of Over 30 High Quality Pine Oil Products
“The latest addition to our modern
chemical plant has been the recent
Installation of a treating plant in
which all building materials can be
thoroughly treated against decay end
Infestation by" termites,” said Mr.
Louis Hanson, owner-manager of the
local Spirittine Chemical company.
The history of this company dates
back to 1878 when it was founded by
L. Hanson, Sr., father of the present
owner, and was the first such plant
built in the United States.
At that time the firm engaged
chiefly in the manufacture of creo
soting oils and other pine wood oils.
Up to 1890 much work was done
treating lumber for protection
against decay.
In the years from 1890 to 1921
when L. Hanson, Sr,, died, the Spirit
tine Chemical company became well
established as a manufacturer of oils
used for creosoting as well as basic
oils for medicinal purposes.
Graduating from the University of
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1910.
Louis Hanson, Jr., entered the firm
as assistant chemist to his father
and was active In improving their
processes and products. Leaving the
company for two years (1918 and
1919) to serve his country during the
World War, I, Louis Hanson, Jr.,
returned to the Spirittine Chemical
company after the war and further
assisted in its management until 1921
when L. Hanson. gr„ died.
Taking over the operation of this
by then very well-known firm, the
junior Hanson started many new pro
casscs and Improvements that led to
new products.
Since 1921 this company has more
than doubled its capacity and now
manufactures more than 30 different
products, including creosotes, Insec
ticides, disinfectants, soaps and oth
er pine oil products.
In 1939 the manufacturing plant

was moved from the foot of Dawson
street to a site on the Brunswick
river adjacent to the Brunswick river
bridge where an entirely new fac

new offices and a warehouse were
opened at 117 South Front street.
The improved Spirittine oil now
being manufactured is an outstand
ing product in that it will penetrate
very rapidly and has the important
additional feature of allowing the
treated timber to be painted.
With the distinction of being the
oldest operating manufacturer of
pine oil products in North America,
now 63 years old, the Spirittine
Chemical company has its products
on sale in over 700 stores through
