IT—IOO,- 000 VISITORS EXPECTED—€OI» HINSDALE, LAST SURVIVING COLONEL OF CONFEDERATE ARMY IN N. C. DIES IN RALEIGH. # (By Maxwell Gormau.) Raleigh, Sept. 20.—Consider able interest is manifested in-both • political parties over the result of the meeting next Tuesday, Sep tember 27th, at Greensboro, of the Republican State Committee. One of the objects of the meeting is to elect a new State chairman of the Republican party to suc ceed Frank Linney, who has be come district attorney for the western district. From what can be learned from members of the committee it is quite ptobable that Charles A. Reynolds of Winston-Salem will be elected to the place, if he will consent to accept it. Mr. Rey nolds has not been much in the limelight of politics of late years, but he was at one time lieutenant governor and presided over the State Senate during Governor Russell's term of office, back in the nineties. He was then, as now, a man of good native ability, but, although a graduate of Yale, not a very "showy horse." John J. Parker of Monroe, re cent candidate for Governor, is understood to be -in ,|he ring for the honor, among several others "also mentioned" for the commit tee chairmanship. Expect 100,000 Visitors. Four weeks hence, beginning October 17th, the big State Fair will be in foil blast, and Secretary Pogue says that it will attract Over 100,000 visitors to Raleigh . from all over the State. Prepa rations are making to care for them, especially those who come from a distance and remain more than one day. Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt of Biltmore, the president of the State Fair this year, will be in Raleigh all of fair week, and hopes to meet many of the visitors gen erally. The assurance is given that there will be more people here from Western North Caro lina than ever before during fair week. Among the counties which have arranged for county exhibits are several western counties. The races will be the best in years, the midway the most attractive ever, and $21,000 in premiums are offered by the fair management. New Supreme Court Justlce. Governor Morrison may appoint the new justice of the State Su preme Court by. the time these lines appear in print, and unless •• indications at this time prove mis leading, Hon. Thomas D. Warren of New Bern, will be named. | The Governor's office, has been delnged with petitions and endorsements of a dozen or more capable lawyers, found at the home-stretch a great majority asking for the appointment of Mr. Warren . He is regarded as es ' pecially well qualified and in some respects better fitted than any other attorney in the State. Cooper For State Chairman, In this connection it is of inter est to note that Mr. Thoma? £. Cooper, banker, who recently re- THE ALAMANCE GLEANER. Signed the presidency of the American Bank at Wilmington to become' active vice-president of the Merchants Bank of Raleigh, is a strong probability for chair man of the Democratic State Com mittee, if Chairman Warren is ap pointed Supreme Court justice. Mr. Cooper is one of five brothers all of whom are noted for their success as bankers. Revenue Commissioner A I>. Watts has returned from New Hampshire, where he a profitable week in attending I meeting of the National Tax Asso ciation at Breton Wood, N. H. Colonel John W. Hinsdale, last surviving regular colonel of the Confederate Army in North Caro lina, died here and was Saturday. He had practiced law actively to within a week of his death for fifty-five years and, at the age of seventy-eight, was the oldest practitioner at the bar in this section. He was widely known all over the State. H. K. Fares Continue. People who travel are disap pointed over the action of the Senate Finance Committee of Congress which has just acted ou the subject. The complaint of the country has been that freight and passenger rates are so high that the business of the country is paralyzed and that with the de pression in agricultural products and the maintenance of freight rates so high as to be in many cases almost prohibitive, holds back any hope of an early return to prosperity, or of the normalcy promised to the country. That the Senate Finance Committee did not put the axe to at least the transportation taxes, and give that small bit of relief, has been a disappointment to the country. All that it has to offer is that with the coming of 1922 the tra asporta tion taxes will be cut in half, and that with 1923 that tax will be en tirely abolished. The House , bill, bad *is.. it is, offered relief on transportation that the Senate bill Finance Com mittee denies to business In the House bill there was made a re peal in their entirety to trans portation taxes, with a repeal also of the taxes on express packages and oil by pipe lines, while the' Senate Finance Committee knocks out the repeal feature as to ex press packages and oil pipe lines. EXHIBIT BY SOUTHERN RAILWAY Attracts Attention to Oppor tunities for Development in South —Only Exhibit by an American Railway. New York, Sept. 20. —Prospects are bright for the location of sev eral important industries in the South as the result of the South ern Railway System's exhibit of mineral and chemical resources of the territory it serves at the Seventh National Exposition of Chemical Industries in New York which came to a close' on Satur day, September 17. Wide attention was attracted to the remarkable opportunities for industrial developinentdn the South by the Southern's exhibit which was the only due made by an American Railway. The ex position proved a great success, the total attendance having been over 100,000, made up almost en tirely of chemical experts and manufacturers interested in the development of new industries and looking for fovorable loca tions. Throughout the week the South ern's booth was thronged py visi tors, many of whom were amazed at the showing of Southern re sources, particularly as to the great variety of minerals needed for the new chemical industries which are now being developed | in America. How absurd t is to pass over a I man's good qualities and fix our attention only ou his bad ones why not at least weigh thera? As Kin Hubbird says dots o'fel lers are like a soft drink—they look th' part, bpt won't do th' work. Know your goods, know yonr customer's needs, present your ! propojiitiou honestly and your i sales will take care of themselves. GRAHAM, N. 0.. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 22. 1921 FOREIGN EXEMPTION CLAUSE OF TAX BILL SCORED. Rep. Beck, Republican, Says Pro vision Indefensible —Certain In terests Favored— How It Will Work. A feature of the tax bill which has been widely .discussed in the press is the exemption of persons and corporations from taxatiou 80 per cent of whose incomes are derived from business done abroad. The manner in which this provision will work out has been clearly forecasted by Repre sentative Beck (Rep , Wis.), as follows: ' "Another provision of this bill which seems indefensible to me is that which exempts those persons and corporations from taxation 80 per cent of whose incomes are derived from business done in foreign countries. A very plau sible reason was offered for this exemption. It is said that it was done to place our own citizens on equal footing with citizens of other countries in "developing for- 5 eign trade. But here is what will happen. The railroad officials and their securi ty holders have taught some of our captaius of industry a great lesson. They have been organizing subsidary companies, whose stock is owned by railroad officials and railroad .security holders, for the manufacture and repair of cars and locomotives and have been taking this class of work out of shops owned by the stockholders of the railroads and placing it in these subsidiiry companies at four and five times what it cost to do this work in the railroad shops, and in this way . they have Ijeen bleeding the pub lic of millions and millions of dol lars. Failing to bleed the public of still more millions, they are coming in here with a bill next week that will enable them to reach over into the Treasury and tqke out $500,000,000 more. "Now what will happen under this bill? 'Why, the tanners, the manufacturers of farm machinery, the coal barons, the makers of boots and shoes, the grain buyers, the Tobacco Trusts, the millers, and dozens of other* wll form subsidiary companies to sell goods in foreign countries aud will not pay a cent's tax on the millions they will probably make. They will pay nothing for the service Uncle Sam renders then in afford thein the opportunity to make money abroad." A Doctor's Reasons For Trading at Home. A local doctor made a neat re joinder to the appeal of a western mail order house which sought to get his trade. Tho mail order letter was well writteu and full of persuasion. It closed with the words: "If there is any reason why you do not buy from us, please give your reasons in the inclosed stamped envelope and we will strive to remove the cause." The doctor polished his glasses and wrote as follows; , "Your letter of recent date ask ing why I had not traded with you for a long time, received, and you ask me to tell you frank ly why. I will give you a few reasons. - "First:—tl am in business iu this coinmuniiy, with its varied industries, for*my support. I cannot ask the merchants of this town for their support if I do not give them mine. "Second:—lu looking over my books I fail to fiud the uainu of any member of your company, which reminds me that none of your officials has ever given in® a a penny's Why is this? Ain I too far away or has none of you ueeded a physician, or are they afraid of the mail order plan when it comes to the practice of medicine. I can cer tainly give as good satisfactiou as your house can and wou d appre ciate a call from any member of your company when in need of a physician. "Third:—lu lookiug over the subscription lists for improving oar publie streets and highways, 1 have failed to iiud the names ot any of your company down for a penny to assist iu the work. Also, I have failed to find your nam * on any of the charity lists, where help has been rendered to the poor. In fact, in all the move ments for the benefit of our ppor, and for th« relief from other con ditions. Your names are not iu the city tax books, nor do I find that yon have paid a single city liaense to do a mercantile busi ness in competition with our home merchants." How Federal Road Aid Stands at the End of Five Years. On June 30, 1921, the close of the fifth fiscal yearsiuce the pass age of the Federal aid road act, wnich is administered by the Bu reau of Public Roads, United Stat es Departmeut of Agriculture, the States and Federal Govern ment had completed 7,469 miles of road, aud 17,977 miles were under construction. Including the work completed on projects still uuder construction, the Stat es have completed work which en titles t hem to draw on tho Federal Treasury for £118,915,515. There is also a balance allo'ed but uot yet earned ou projects now unfler construction amount ing to $00,375,030. Of the two appropriations which have been made for Federal aid there ia now only *18,793,544 remaining un obligated. Twelve of the States have obligate! their entire allot ment and several others have only a small amouut to their crdit. During the last fiscal year the total of completed projects jump ed from 1,ii77 to 7,409 miles and the projects under construction increased from 14,940 to 17,977 miles. The money earned by completion of work has grown from $40,097,881 a year ago to $118,915,,515 at the end of this fiscal year. The amount earned during the year was $78,817,634, or nearly twice as much as the amount earned during the four years preceding. The new projects submitted dutiifg the year bring the total amount of Federal aid obligated up to $247,950,456, as compared with $109,830 866, which was the amount obligated ou June 30,1920. At this rale it is expected that the small balance of $18,000,000 still uuobligated will be taken up in a very short time. The month of June was a record month in every way. The mile.- age of completed projects increas ed by more than 1,200 miles, more than twice the amount reported for the month of May. Funds allotted to work actually under construction increased by 813,- 670,925. We often wish we had some coiuitry relatives we could visit in the summer. Secretly, every man thinks he could tun a house bettor than his wife, and with half the work. In child education we pay too much attention to tho wits and not enough to tho will. i A whole lot of people marry, but they don't settle down. IF WOMEN ONLY KNEW What a Heap of llapplnesa It Would firing to Graliam Home*. Hard to do housework with an ach ing back. Brings you houisfof misery at leisure or at work. If women only knew the cause — that IMckache pains often come from weak kidneys, 'Twould save much needless woe. Doau's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys. ABk your neighbor! Read what a Graham citizen say*: Mrs It. C. Phillips, Guthrie St., savs: "I suffered a great deal from kidney trouble for se.'erafi year's. I was very nervous at time*, felt weak and my sight seemed blurred. I began using Dean's Kidney Pills and was goou feeling better. I have gained steadily since taking this remedy.'.' Over ten years later Mrs. Phillips eaid "Doan's Kidney Pills have no equel and I cm siy th 2 ' have done me a worl'J of gooi in re lieving the pains in my bac!c and reg.dating my kidneys. I would not oe without a bo* of this remedy on hand." 60c. at all dealers Fimter-Milburn Co., Mfrs, Buffalo, N. Y. Beautification of State High ways as Memorial Highways. Chapel Hill, Sept. 17. —The State Highway Commission has the power "to give suitable names to State highways" and "to co operate with municipal or connty authorities, civic bodies and indi viduals in the proper selection, planting and protection of road side trees, shrubs and vines for the beautiflcatiou and protection of said highways." Sixty-one hundred miles of State highways to be constructed and maintained has seemed so mam moth a task that one could scarce ly think in terms of money be yond the bare physical fact of their actual construction and" maintenance! There is another feature of this great undertaking, however, which is gradually tak ing shape iu the public mind, one in which everybody can have a part through contributions of money, labor and enjoyment, and that is in the beautification of the paved roads through the planting and care of trees, shrubs, and* vines and in making them "me morial highways." Already two of the great trunk roads have been re-named (by the legislature of 1921) in memory of the divisions iu which the North Carolina boys played so proinien ent a part in the World War. The Central Highway is to be hereafter kuowu as "Old Hickory" in honor of the Thirtieth Divis ion, and the Wiluungton-Char lotte-Asheville Highway, "The Wildcat," for the Eighty-first Di vision. What more fitting than that the people along these high ways should get together iu a great cooperative scheme to make and keep them beautiful in honor of their dead and as a constant reminder to themselves and their children of, the spiritual value find beauty of a common cause. The North Carolina Good Roads Association further sug gests that each of the counties of the State select some one of the hard-surface State Highways, connecting its county seat with a neighboring county seat, to be made beautiful by the citizens of the two counties as a memorial to their boys and as a constant re minder to the living of the valor and service of those who gave their lives for humanity. Tree planting along the highways would be carrying out one Freuch custom which seemed to be uni versally admired by the Ameri can Soldiers. If practised throughout the State, the result would add to the economic as well as aesthetic value of the road and be an additional at traction to the tourist, as shade will prolqng the life of the road if it be of hard surface construc tion. The idea is already being start ed in several counties. One road has been selected in Lenoir Coun ty; one across Mecklenburg; and the State Highway connecting Durham and Chapel Hill. The topics of "lleautification of State Highways" and "Memo rial Highways" will be discussed at the Annual Convention of the N. C. Roads Associotion which is to be heW at Greensboro October 11 and 12 and these should have a universal appeal. 8,000 Bushels Com Clear Gain. Records of one 800-acre farm in Ohio show auaunual increase of 8,000 bushels of corn through the adoption of new strains of corn and improved methods developed and recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture. The farmer has been following the advice of the department for 20 years, aud has kept careful records of his yield. For the last 10 years the increase averages more than 10 bushels an acre over previous years. Bet ond the extra cost of Harvesting, the labor aud expense is no greater than previously, so the 8,000 bushels is regarded as clear gain. Many a man who, before buy ing, boosted he would never touch »• band to anything except the steering wheel of his car, lives to spend his Sundays in the garage. A * hole lot of us know all about price ana nothing about value. The Church of the Period. Charlotte Observer. Dr. Archibald Johnson, - in aud children, has /raised : the point that congregations in the smaller towns appear to be' putting too much nnoney iu fiuej church edifices. He does not look with favor on "wastingthe Lord's] money," even on meeting houses,. aud he has very likely started a controvesy on its, way. It is a i fact that the average new church i now seen in a:iy town or village] has architectural characteristics and appointments that would j make it a fitting ornament on any | city street, but the people seem able to build these liue churches and why we .not make their bouses of worship as attrac tive as possible? The Observer] is rather inclined to admire \he taste di* played iu the style and ] furnishings pf the new church in this State, because it has an idea | that this is a move iu the direc tion of popularizing religion. J£ it takes a fine church to excite « greater measure of pride in it, then let the church b> a fine on, and the organ "the largest iu I town." The more pecfple.attract ed by the inviting surrotiudint s the better. And speaking of the new church in town or village, it must be very few people who have failed] to remark upon the general | change in church design. The] old square liues have disappear-! Ed, aud the rounded or octagonal J front with columned effect, with | domed >oof, is coming into popu-; larity. Examples might K e cited by th* dozen, bnt Lincolnton, | perhaps, affords the best, in this] part'of the country, while only the other day The Observer made note of a brand-new church in a little town of CherryviHe that| looks like it tnighr have been borrowed from New York's fifth Aveuue. We are disposed to ad- i vise Brother Johnson that lie might as well bow his head and go along with procession. "Slave" Auction in Boston. The Boston Transcript. Unless you saw with your own eyes the so-called "sale" on the Common, unless you heard with your own ears the appeal for bids for the opportunity to jobs to jobless humans seeking work, you would not be able to under stand the effect of the grim trag edy upon those who saw and heard. Whether the unemploy ment is as bad hero as it is else where, whether conditions are getting better or worse, who is to blame?.. The settlement of these questions should certainly not condition every effort that the churches, the relief organizations, tho Government of Massachusetts, the government of Boston, the governments of the cities and towns of tho commonwealth can make in orderly and sympathetic ico-operation to make it pos»ib'e for those who need to work to get it, before the cold weather mekes worse a situation already bad.
