Just because I motored to Lakewood with Sam Perkins and his sister is no reason why he should get cross and take that actressy - looking person with him everywhere he goes. Sam's sister says she is a Frenchwoman. I always did hate French, and I'm glad I refused Carl to meet her, glad I snubbed Carl and glad I was out when he called.

I ivouldn t write now, only this morning a letter came from Carl, and I just have to record it. Carl says he is lonely; he misses me, and he cannot understand why I ran away to Europe so suddenly. The letter is full of reproaches for MY treatment of HIM, when all the lime it was HIS meanness to me that made me so ill, so that I had to get iway from everybody. He does not mention one word about that horrid French creature. I shall not write. Well perhaps I Rill. XoTember 24. At first I hated Paris. London was nice, Vienna stupid, Dut Paris impossible, until last Sun lay, when we met Mrs. Harmon. Isn't it strange what a change one Jay, one hour, can make in a girl's life? Mr. and Mrs. Field, friends of mother's, gave a dinner for us. Mrs. Harmon was one of the guests. She look3 much better in the evening gown than in her street Buits; not nearly so frowsy, and the rouge on her cheeks doesn't show at night. I was appalled when mother introduced me to her, to rec- g n i z e Carl s French friend. She '" is his cousin, but she has lived in Paris since she was a little girl. We had a lovely talk. She told me all about her recent visit to America and how good Carl had been In taking her about. I like her now that I know her. She says Carl was perfectly miser able over a girl he was in love with, who had gone abroad for the winter. She did not know the girl s name. blushed furiously when she spoke of it. That was Sunday. We have seen Mrs. Harmon several times Bince then. I made mother promise to take me home. She cabled dad, and said she would be thankful to get back to plain home cooking and her own bathroom. Mother is a dear, and so funny. December 25. What a happy, bappy Christmas day it has been! The very best I have ever known. Once I said I hated America New York but I don't. I love New York and America, Riv erside, home, mother, dad and Carl. Oh, I love Carl best of all! He has been so sweet, so dear and kind, since we came home two weeks ago. He met us at the pier. I was never bo glad to see any body in my life on T was to see dear old Carl. Dad was tnere. too. My Christmas gifts are lovely. Best of all is Carl's love and the ring he eave me as a token of his deep, un- dying love. I thinK it .was bwi him to give me such a wonderful dia mond, besides the candy ana dooks and flowers.

Th Output in Them is Eighty-Six Million The Total Num ber of Factories is 660. Raleigh. At the close of the statis tical year, June 30, the capitalization of the factories of North Carolina, 536 reported is $44,673,613. These figures come from office of Commissioner of Labor and Printing M. L. Shipman. The total number of miscellaneous factories for that year is 660. Of course, many have been chartered and put in operation since, but it takes many weeks to list them all. Five hundred and twp factories report an estimated value of their plants to be 520,235,996. Five hundred and twenty-six factories estimate their output at $86,030,562. Five hundred and twenty-one factories give a payroll of 111,036,760. Six hundred and fifty-two factories report power used as follows: Steam, 35S; electric, 175; water, 24; hand, 16; gasoline, 29; steam and electric, 22; steam and gasorine, 4; steam and water, 1; steam and gas, 2; gas, 3; steam, electric and hydraulic, 1; water and gas, 1; water, steam and fuel oil, 1; seventeen do not report power. These establishments, exclusive of the 16 using hand power, show the em ployment of 90,951 7-12 horse-power. The average hours worked per day, nine hours and fifty-four minutes. Fifty-four per cent report increase of wages; thirty-six per cent report no change; ten per cent do not report.

The road commissioners, unable to secure a right-of-way on the Conover and Sherrill's Ford routes, have turned tfeeir attention to the Sandy Ford route, leading west rom town into the fertile South Fork Valley. At a meeting it was decided to make a survey Into febat section, because the people there have peti tioned for an improved road, and have offered to give the rightof-way. Com munities in the township that want improved roads will have to see that a fee right-of-way Is given, if the board adheres to its present policy. It is very much opposed to paying for the right to give a community a mod ern highway. Money For Running Expenses. Raleigh. The state board of agri culture voted a budget of $99,200 for running expenses of the department of agriculture for the next six months, $10,000 increase over the budget for the' corresponding period of last year. The increase expense provides for $5, 000 for farm demonstration work and $6,000 for animal husbandry. The lat ter is a division just being added, wtth D. T. Gray of Alabama in charge.

He had served a year and a half. One of the Largest and Best-Equipped Plants of Its Kind in the South-Able Men Behind It. C. F. McKesson in Charlotte Observer. Morganton is specially proud of the fact that, among her other splendid enterprises, she has the largest and best-equipped tan nery in the South, known as the Burke Tanning Co. The owners, H. F. Lesh and B. W. Fredericks of Boston, Wil son and Sedgewick Kistler of Lock Haven, Penn., and their brother, A. M. Kistler of Mor ganton, are a group of as fine business men as the country af fords. Of broad and far-seeing vision, liberal in expenditure, they have built a plant of which any State would be proud and whose finished product compares favorably with that of any in America. Since 1902, Andrew M. Kistler has been the general manager. Under his wise and ever-watchful fidelity, his fine executive ability, and his mastery of de tails, he has seen the great in dustry grow and grow as if by magic until to-day it is without a rival. What the enterprise has been worth to Burke county and other western counties is almost be yond calculation. With more than a mile of sheds and bark enough for two or three years, squads of men are ever increas ing the supply. Ihe company employs more than a hundred men. Its payroll m lyil was more than $50,000. It will be much larger for 1912. Fifteen I per cent of its product is shipped i to Boston, and 85 per cent to the consumer. As an evidence of its remarkable growth, let me say that in 1902, its product was 900 hides a week, now more than 3,000. Mr. Kistler, though first a business man, is generous, kind hearted and has done scores of charity, of which the world knows nothing. A very im portant factor in the industrial development of Burke, he has won an abiding place in the es teem and confidence of her peo ple. On an elevated plateau in the suburbs of our beautiful moun tain town, is located his palatial home, from which a sweet, gracious hospitality is often dis pensed and from whose broad verandas is a glorious view of river and valley, mountain and sky. This short notice of one of the greatest industries in the State would be incomplete if it failed to mention the long, faithful and still efficient service of Mr. M, A. Kistler, bookkeeper, J. M. Woodling, general superinten dent, and of that general man ae-er of other days, William F. Camp of Bethlehem, Penn. Gen tie, sweet-spirited, pure as i woman, he enshrined himself in the affections of this people and now "wears a crown that fadeth not away." ihitelaw Reid Dead. American Ambassador to tie Court of St.'James Dies in London. ondon Dispatch, 15th. Whitelaw Reid, the American mbassador to Great Britain ince 1905, died ct his London ?sidence, Dorchester House, hortly after noon to-day, from ulmonary cedema. The end vas quite peaceful. Mrs. Reid md their daughter, Mrs. John Hubert Ward, were at the bed dde. The ambassador had been un onscious since 9 o'clock in the norning and at intervals during he previous twenty-four hours ie had been slightly delirious as i result of the drugs administered o induce sleep. Sir Thomas Bartow, physician o the King, who was called in ast week after Mr. Reid's ill less became acute and his regu physician, Dr. Wm. HaU White, issued the following bul letin as to the cause of death: "A fortnight ago the American ambassador had a slight bron chial attack similar to others which he had suffered at con siderable intervals. On Wednes day last asthma supervened and the asthmatic paroxyms became very severe, leading to extreme exhaustion. "It was hoped that he might rally, as no pneumonic symptoms had appeared. With difficulty the paroxyms of asthma were got under control, but Sunday morning the exhaustion became extreme and he died from pul- reply to a message of sorrow from King George of Great Brit ain, which reached the white house early to-day. The presi dent also sent his sympathy to Mrs. Reid. Through his own personality, Mr. Reid, the presi dent said, had drawn America and Great Britain together in closer friendship. The King's message said: "It is with the deepest sorrow that I have to inform you of the death of Mr. Whitelaw Reid at noon to-day. As your ambassa dor in this country his loss will be sincerely deplored, while per sonally I shall mourn for an old friend of many years' standing for whom I had the greate.t re gard and respect. The queen and I sympathize most warmly with Mrs. Whitelaw Reid in her sorrow." Shock in WisYington. Washington Dispatch. 15th. News of the death in London o-day of Ambassador Reid came as a shock to official Washington, or it had not been generally realized Mr. Reid's illness was of a serious nature. President Taf t paid an unusual tribute to the late ambassador and expressed his grief in a cable WANT MORE NEWS. North Carolina Afternoon Papers Meet and Form Association. Durham Dispatch. 15th.
