WsShln*toa. N. C.
Dear sir:
f am find to have time to respond
briefly to four r ?quest for an article
on publicity for North Carolina. Kb
pabUclty and development apply to
Cfco Casters aectlon o< the fitaU 1
can see an empire surrounding pour
ftaa little olty. but Uiat empire to al
most ?wholly In Its indpency. Take
your county alone as an illustration,
and yoa ted that while you hare
SS7,000 acreeyof land la your coun
ty, yoa hare only 70,000 acres of
land Improved in darma. That la
one acre in not quite elf ht. To he
aura you have in that area of land
soma swamp and unavailable land,
but the point Is that for ons acrs
Improved yea have nearly eifht
acre# unimproved, and 1 preevme
not ons acre la ths county is Im
proved to Ha limit.
Outalde of your towns your county
baa a population of st>oat 10,000.
?rtxat la one person for. every S7
acres of land. Mow yoa know that
your eott, mtr oMssate, yoar rain
fall, your aoeese to market*, your
prowlns season, your hsalthfulness
of locality, are not surpassed by any
place that you can name. If you
were asked to state any thine nec-|
?wary to add to yoqr county to j
make It hipbly desirable aa a place
to live and thrive you mould aay that
nothing le particularly needed. Tou
would amy it truthfully, and not alm
plr as a pleasant felt of flattery for
yourself and your people.
Now It Is hardly to be expected
that you aspire to the limit you
mfeht attain, for In that event you
would set yoar ft* urea at somewhere
from a million to live million people.
The county fl came from In Pennsyl
vania has jover ? arilltlon people.
Many Pennsylvania counties have
from 100,000 to *50,000 people. If
yoa hsd a population ae denes a?
poms of the Bsrtfsitt lowland ooun
triee you -would have in Beaufort
half to three-quarter* of a million
poopla.

It strikes me that thia Is an op
portunity the coast counties u well

the f3andhlll douotry Ihas fcottfled
the secretary of the fair association
'hat it will have something at Ra
leigh that will make the ree^ of the
itate stop to look at, and that will
attract the attention of whatever of
the world is at Raleigh daring the
fair week. Your county has aU the
advantages my county has, except
we are very fon<Vof hearing our own
voloes up thi# way, a fanlt that 1
Imagine is something of a virtue. I
don't like a locomotive with a little
?qu*eky whistle. I -want a good big
noise.
Here is a thing I would like to
Impress on the minds ef every body
In North Carolina. I got it from Jim
Williams, of Ganford, who is another
apostle of nolee. He said to me one
Say, 'If you got to the store to <buy
crackers jrou buy Uneeda biscuit.
Wyy- Because they have keen ad
vertised. Tou buy Gold -Medal flour.

jet. Advertised things. Wbyf Be
cause they are described to yod un
til you are familiar with them. And,
continued Williams, "we will talk
about Lee county until folks turn
our way when they want to find a
new home."
(What Ao you suppose has led the
millions of people to the Weat? Sim
ply noise. Talking about the coun
try out there. Thirty-two year* ago
I lived In New Mexico. Calvin Pltk,
s real estate man, offered me thirty
five dollars a week if I would enter
his employ to write alluring articles
about the country in the hope of In
ducing Immigration to the territory.
I told him I would not write per
auaftve literature about New Mexico
for any prloe for I did not bellevo
It a good section for people to go
to. Yet In that time more people
have gone tp Npw Mexico than have
come to North Carolina I think. And

? especially George ? departed, rath
er meekly and didn't have much to
uy. We were sorry to mo them go
for George is a ante little boy to
watch and bta co-workera furnished
considerable excitement and amus?
nent for the local fane. However,
the call of the plow proved to be too
in patent, and they have gone.
Washington took the second game

doubt. Is largely responsible for the
victory of the locals.
Kelford scored their first two runs
in the second Inning. 8mlth knock
ed a grounder to Anderson, which
proved a Utti? too hot for the latter
to handle. (Shoulders poled one ont
Into the fitid for two bases, ad
vancing Smith to third. Foyd sin

Neither side did any mors scoring
until the eighth Inning. In the fifth.
Washington lost a change to score
by a little Ivory work on the bases.
Davenport was caught napping off
first. Phelps was Caught st second
ind Turner wss caught between the
bases. -In the same Inning, Carrew
robbed Darden, of what would prob
ably |are been at least a two-bee^
hit, by spearing a high fbell with onr
hand.
In the eighth* Inning. Washington
broke away from their lofig string
of goose-eggs on the score board and
tallied three runs. Jim Hackney
roeabed first on a hit and waa sac
rlftced to aocond by Anderson*. Oar
