"In educational conferences, Kiwanis and Rotary clubs, wo men's club, college - groups, inter collegiate groups, a chapter of the American Legion, Junior Order of United American Me chanics, and public mass meet ings all over North Carolina, an aggressive stand has been taken for decisive aud adequate legis lative action. The spirit and enthusiasm of these meetings, often expressed in resolutions, called for action that would pro vide for not only the thousands now crowding the colleges but also for the coming flood of high school graduates who of thet»- selves challenge your considera tion and make necessary the min imum building program provided for in the $20,000,000 bond issue for all the State institntions, educational and charitable, as outlined by the public-spirited promoters of education in North Carolina.

FREE TUITION AT STATE UNIVERSITY Senator J. Elmer Long Introduces Bil I This Week—Governor Sends First Message—Law to Aid In Prtvent ing Lynching—Workmen's Com pensation Bill Pending. (By Maxwell Gorman.) Raleigh, Jan. 24. The legisla ture is this week just beginu i tt to function properly and there J now in'the hands of the vario.in committees a number of most im portant bills that will require much work to perfect and put over. . Free TuetlOn at University. One of the latest of these to come to the surface is a measure which Senator J. Elmer Long of Alamance is drawing to be pre sented this week which provioes for the free education of students at the State University. He has held conferences with educational leaders before drafting his bill. Interest is increased in the Long bill because of the contention among legislators, with some of them insisting that the State is neglecting the common school* and therefore the children of the class of people who need State assistance most, while the other side is clamoring for stupendous appropriations for new buildings and equipment and increased ap propriations for all the higher in stitutions of learning. Senator Long's bill opens the way for young men and women financially debarred at present, and does no more than is done for the boys of talent with poor parents in the State of Virginia and other State universities and higher education al institutions. Governor's First Message. The first message of the new governor to the legislature will be sent in a few hours. It is well, for there is great interest in what Mr. Morrison will recommend on matters which legislators wish to know as early as practicable. Law to Aid In Preventing Lynching. The bill of Senator Taylor of Wayne to change the court pro cedure so as to permit the trial of rapists in other counties and the making of the court order to that effect without the presence of the culprit in court at the time, and therefore avoiding possible 1> nch ing which his return to the scene of the crime invites, is now the law and is the best and most im portant statute so far placed 011 the statute books this session. There will be fights over the so c&lled workmen's compensation laws this week, with the result that Labor will ask the legislature not to paes either of the measures pending, an they stand. It will be hard to get the different ele ments together on a compromise bill and no law will be patwed— especially ,if that resalt will be satisfactory to the American Fed eration of Labor in N. 0., which has behaved so nice to the domi nant party the patt year.

Raleigh.—Reduction of acreage and support ot the export corporation are thi two principal measures urged by | the North Carolina branch of the ! American Cotton Association to better I existing conditions. To enable the ex- I port corporation to function the people of North Carolina have J been &sked to subscribe to a quota of ! f1.50 worth of stock for each bale pro duced and from the way in which the corporation's office In the State Agri cultural Building at Raleigh is receiv ing subscriptions there is every rea son to believe that the quota wiU be subscribed. Indication of State-wide confidence ; In the export corporation was recently given In the senate, where Senator -Joe Brown, of Pender, made a ringing speech. He introduced a bill to have the State of North Carolina subscribe to $1,C00,000 of the export corpora _ tion's stock. To meet the payment Senator Brown urges tW» State to is sue four psr cent biSnds. Richard I. Manning, former gover nor of South Carolina, who heads the American Products Export Im j port Corporation, has been In ' this ! State for the past two weeks speaking ! In the Interests of the organization, j Everywhere lie has been he has met with a cordial reception. The meeting j In Charlotte recently, under the au spices of the county cotton associa -1 Hon, was productive of about 120,000 in subscriptions. Governor Manning spoke before the 1 mid-wlner meeting of the North Caro- Una Cotton Manufacturers' Associa tion in Raleigh Tuesday and explain ed the purpose of the export company a/t length. Following his address the cotton mill men went on record as unanimously endorsing the movement ifnd commending the purchase ot stock In the export corporation to the va rious mills of North Carolina. W. r.anks Dove, Secretary of State of South Carolina; L S. Tomiinson of Wilson, president of the American Cotton Association; Senator Joe Brown and A. W. McSwain. secretary of the Cotton Association are some of the prominent men who have spoken throughdut the State during the past week in behalf of the export concern. They hava all etressed the fact that the export movement Is a self-preser vation movement as well as an op portunity for a good investment. "There is not a doubt in mind," ■aid Mr. Dove the other day, speaking of the 'American Products Export and Import Corporation, "but that this or ganization will do mucd to stabilize the cotton market. One important thing In any concern of this kind, is the management. The export corpora tion Is particularly well-off in this re gard with Goverrfor Manning as its president and Joseph Walker, one of the best known cotton men of the South, as its general manager.' The corporation is already doing business, and with Increased facilities, made possible by additional Mock subscrip tions, will do much to remedy present conditions and make for permanent prosperity In the South." There are two phases of the stOcfc i offering that are finding especial favor. One Is the fact that subscriptions are 1 being accepted in cotton or Liberty Bonds at the market price, as well as In cash. The other Is a profit-sharing plan that has been instituted try the corporation. All stockholders are to be entitled to eight per cent cumula tive dividends when earned and after i deducting this from the total amount of net profit realized during any one year, one-half of the remaining profits are to be set aside as "patronage" dividends. These patronage dividends j are to be paid out to the Individual* . or firms furnishing business for the corporation, pro rata to the amount of business furnished. The remaln ing ha'f of the net profits in excess of eight per cent will be credited to the stockholders. It has been announced that North Carolina will be given full representa tion on the Board of Directors of the export corporation. The corporation • is In no sense confined to any one State but is a South-wide movement, destined to benefit the entire Sooth. Publlc splrHed citizens are at work In every Southern State to raise their quota. One shipment of cotton to Europe has been made and many more will follow In quick order. The export corporation idea, fos tered .by the American Cotton Asso ciation, was originally suggested by Governor W. P. O. Harding of the Federal Reserve Board. who Is an en thusiastic supporter at the movement. . W .O. McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury, has volunteered . his services free of charge to the corpora tion. From *ll aides come strong en dorsement of the work. The North Carolina campaign for stock subscriptions Is now well under way. Through the courtesy of the North Carolina Press Association, which has endorsed th» organisation and its purposes, the details of the corporation's program are being pre sented lr. the various papers of the State and public meetings are being to eld In every cotton growing emintj, LEADS IN MINERAL WEALTH United Btatea Easily First In petals of Greatest Importance te the World's Industries.

Copper Is the great American metal. We produce 69 per cent of the entire world's yield of that Invaluable sub stance. Of lend we produce 49 per cent and of zinc 32 per cent. * England Is away ahead of us where gold Is concerned.

On the other hand, *e claim 52 per cent of the silver—the Mexican out-, put being under our commercial con trol—and It Is actually In the power'of our government to make the market price of the white metal whatever Un cle Sam chooses.' Of the world's sulphur we produce 65 per cent. But we have no tin worth mentioning (a serious misfor tune) and little potash.

John Burroughs' recollections of his flrst sweetheart are as fresh und rose tinted as the cheeks of the little l#dy as she ran down the hill to play with her ardent young admirer of five. "Uncle John tells about her In "Jo'in Burroughs, Boy and Man," the seml uutobiogruphy which la written by his friend, I)r. Clara Bnrrus. "I con see her now. as she came running down the hill from the school house, the cape of her little pink sun bonnet fluttering In the breeze," said Mr. Burroughs as he pointed out the course she took down the road to her home. "I must have been between Ave and six years old. I had gone over to neighbor Bartram's in the West settle ment with father on a stoneboat drawn by the oxen. Father probably went there to help him draw stones for a new piece of wall—they used to ex change work In that way. "I can hear her father's voice as he sent it over the hills to the school house —he had a prodigious voice— ' Eleanor, come'home.' And soon she came flying down the rood to play with me. "We played by the barn on a little mound of hay. I remember we made a nest there—l can see her now as she took a wisp of hay and pinched It to gether, making Mleve It was an egg, and that she was a lien—l can see the sharp angles of the shining hay as she tried to shape It like an egg before she covered it In the nest." RECALL FATE OF FRANKLIN Interesting Relics Recently Brought te Vancouver From the Land Where He Perished. After being In the possession of the thrifty natives of King William's land for three-quarters of a century, a large nunmer of Interesting relics of the Sir John Krankllh polar expedition have been brought from the frozen north by Joe Benard, who Is here after a four years' stay along the northernmost coast of the North American continent, says a Vancouver (B. C.) dispatch. Though priceless from a collector's j point of view, the utilitarian value of I the relics Is negligible, and they were i obtained by Benard for a piece of i lumber worth possibly 20 cents on the ••oast. A few brass buttons among the relics are believed to have belonged to the distinguished leader, though there I Is as yet no positive proof of this. Benard also obtained a number of primitive scientific Instruments used . by" the northern tribe*. These will be j sold to various museums and unlver- • sltles for which the explorer has been collecting ethnological specimens and data si ace 1910. lie alee brought ■ collection of furs worth approximate ly $2.1,000. Sir John Franklin, with 154 com panions. sailed Into the Arctic In 1845 to find fke northwest passage, and was never heard of again. After many relief expeditions had failed, his fate was ascertained !n 1859, when bleached skeletons were found on the trail to Hudson bay. The Middle Initial. With the exception of William H. Taft, Senator Harding Is the first President since Rutherford B. Hayes, to use more than one Christian name. Grovet" Clevelund, William McKlnley, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson (who dropped his first name Thomas, ,gurly in the career) got along without middle names or initials. The middle initial, incidentally, is alino&t exclusively an American characteris tic. An Englishman may call himself John James Smith, but practically nev er John J. Smith. A Frenchman may be baptised Anguste Charles Jesus Marie Georges Dupont, but he will be known to the world as Georges Du pont, and probably will sign himself G. Dupont. The use of more than one given name Is puzzling to'*a Frenchman. When Senator Lodge Is mentioned in the French press, he Is never "M. I/odge," but "M. Cabot Lodge," or as one prominent Purls daily writes It, "M. Cabot-Lodge." The President-Elect may look forward to be known on the continent as "President Gamaliel Hurtl ing."—Editorial Digest.

It Is now used. In fact, as a ranch house and hotel. Remarkable Photographic Feat.
