Presi dent Coolidge must sign the bill au thorizing the lease and it is not at all probable that he would ever do so after having endorsed the action of Secretary Weeks in selling the Gor gas plant. Mr. Ford's agents in Washington -iv that his announcement that he Stands pat ott his offer can mean on iv one thing: he will make Muscle Shoals an issue in the campaign and on that issue will seeit eitner me Democratic nomination for President or the nomination of a third party. lord's agents do not now believe' he can win the Democratic nomina tion over W. G. McAdoo who is now the outstanding candidate of his par ty in the field. They are convinced that if the Detroit man entered the race for the Democratic nomination at the present stage, the leaders who are now opposing McAdoo would turn to him as in their opinion the lesser of the two evils and nominate him. For the same reason if Ford runs on a third party ticket, McAdoo is considered to be the Democratic can didate most likely to be nominated. The Detroit man in the race makes the nomination of a progressive Dem ocrat an absolute necessity. The Democrats in congress will cast a solid vote to give Ford Muscle Shoals, and although he has charged McAdoo with trying to have the government buy the railroads and pay their own ers twice their actual value, he can not put the Democrats in the same category with Calvin Coolidge and John W. Weeks who sold the Gorgas plant to the Alabama Power Compa ny in order to keep him from getting it, as he charges. If Ford's candidacy does actually materialize on the Muscle Shoals is sue with a third party in the field, it is predicted in Washington that with anyThmg Tflcfsent -cSiKBiroSsi. sting a year hence, 'the Republicans will not carry a State west of the Al legheny mountains. His candidacy on any ticket will give the Republicans a nightmare. A striking proof ef this fact was the hurried step andperplexM coun tenance of John W.

Fend chair the secre tary of war ef having sold the farm ers out in their one note of securing cheap fertilizer, twelve) months ago the secretary . of war -would have laughed at Ford's chart with 8ort of good natured contenrnt but there are too many people m this country who want the niver mater for Presi dent for even the "bond Broker law yer of Boston" not to net op and take notice. Some of Coolidge's friends are say ing just now why not let Ford have Muscle Shoals with the Gorgas plant ami let farm fight it out Sot the latter in the courts with the Alabama Pow er Company. Bat to do rtfe&t both the President and the secretary of war would have to cancel the sale. The transaction is in such a eaape now that Fond can not 'be' prevented from making it an Issue if he is disposed to. North Carolina has been doing ma ny things which the ordinary citiien of the State does not know about. The great length of the State causes it to have so many varieties of re sources and products that it is diffi cult for one section to know much more than what is being produced in that vicinity. During the war the section of the State about Spruce Pine furnished Kaolin for the manu facture of Spark plugs used in the Liberty motors. About Spruce Pine are located the finest quality of kaolin and the largest mine to be found in the United States. It is largely used in the manufacture of China ware and glass, but the finished article is not manufactured in North Carolina. It is only supplying the raw material. There is much feldspar and mica about Spruce Pine. Carloads of feldspar, mica and kaolin are shipped to other stateB. Feldspar is used in the enamel on bath tubs and other things; it is used in glazing ware; it is made into slabs that substitute for marble; for table tops, counters and trimmings in buildings. "Bon Ami" uses thousands of tons of Spruce Pine spar every year. Carolina Mica is used in the manufacture of electrical goods, plugs, lamp bulbs, telephones, phonographs, wall paper and in the manufacture of rubber goods. High Point, Oct. 14.
