FAYETTEVILLE OBSERVER, APRIL 30, 1913.
WHY OUR BOY8 SHOULD REMAIN
IN NORTH CAROLINA.
By Bion H. Butler, In, Raleigh Newl
and Observer, April 20.
Fayetteville, April 19. I have here
a little story that I would like to have
the grownupa of every North Carolina
cummunlty read to tne young ioikb
of their neighborhood, and then read
again for themselves.
The first ot the week I came down
the road with a robust young chap ot
about twenty, whose father haa a fine
farm of 240 acres of good land, and
equipped with stock and machinery
to make the crops. The father Is in-
i telllgent, progressive, possessed of suf
ficient capital to give the boy all the
chance In the world that a boy needs,
and a desire to see the boy take to
the farm and make a success of the
farm for himself, with the father's
help and backing.
But the hoy, as we came down the
road together, told me he expected in
a few days to leave for the West. I
told the boy to hurry around and
, make the trip and get back again, for
I argued to him that nowhere on earth
would he find the chances for a young
fellow that North Carolina presents
today.
We discussed the matter. The boy
confessed that many things in North
Carolina are attractive. Yet the West
looks green to him because distance
softens the view. He will turn his
back on a great opportunity. I think
he will come back. Perhaps it is
wise for him to go and see the world
and learn that what looks so rosy in
the distance is commonplace when a
closer vision shows the unvarnished
realities. Yet, most boys cannot af
ford to spend much time and money
running after the delusions of the
West
I saw another thing within the last
few days that I would like the grown
folks all over the State to see as I
saw it, and to tell to the boys. Over
on Rockfiah creek, between Fayette
ville and Raeford, 1 watched T. B. Up
church, president of the Raeford Pow
er Company, and B. Parks Rucker,
a consulting engineer of Charlotte, dig
holes in the banks of the creek to de
termine the character of the ground,
in search for a location for a dam that
will drive the machinery of several
factories.
Rockfish creek is one of several
hundred small streams that are met
with over the State of North Carol
Una. It is picturesque, clear, swift in
flow, hurrying down through a nar
row channel, altogether good to look
on there in a spring afternoon. But
the vision that was presented as those
men dug down to find a firm founda
tion for their dam was one of enor
mous development, of which this par
ticular operation is merely prophetic.
The dam on Rockfish creek is not
to be a very big affair as industrial
pojects are going now in North Caro
lina. It is only as a text for a sermon
to boys and those who have the ear
of the boys that it is worth citing as
an illustration of big things. This
dam is to develop 700 horsepower. It
will run two cotton mills, a fertilizer
factory, an oil mill, and possibly some
other things.
In a way 700 horsepower is no great
thing. In another way it is the sign
of a giant, for it indicates not one dam
of 700 horsepower, but a unit that can
be multiplied indefinitely all over the
State until the whirr of wheels is a
continuous purr from the Tar river
to the Hiwassee.
This building of a dam on the Rock
fish creek signifies more than the
mere development of power. North
Carolina Is full of power. Rockfish
dam shows that small powers are
available at almost any point. The
power is distributed all over the State.
It is not concentrated at once place
at the expense of another In that
respect. North Carolina Is singularly
fortunate. Manufacturing may be un
dertaken la almost every county, and
the cheap power bo relied on for en
ergy to drive the machines. That is
one thing to the boy's advantage. It
insures him a diversity of industry.
for, while industry haa not been di
versified much In the father's day in
North Carolina, the boy is entering
on a world of progress that no one
, can foresee.
The road that leads out of the town
to the Rockfish dam shows another
thing that should be impressed on the
bovs. On ooth sides oi tne roaas men
are busy opening new farms from the
forests. On both sides of the roads
men are making new homes, tilling
new acres, and providing for an in
creased acreage of cotton to go to
the mills that will be run with Rock
fish power.
This making of new farms is rot
confined to any one section of the.
State. Like the development of power
all over North Carolina so the devel
opment of farms is going on all over
the State, and they are not only cot
ton farms, but farms of all characters,
to supply the many things that are
to be needed, not only in the markets
of the North, but In the growing mar
keta Of this growing and broadening
.State.
I want the old folks to say to the
boys that here is destined to be one
of the great industrial fields of the
world, and I will enlarge a little on
the vision that unfolded Itself to me
as I watched the men begin that dam
at Rockfish.
The three great Industries of the
world are providing food, providing
clothing, and providing shelter for the
" human race. Of these providing food
18 the foremost. Providing clothing
la the next in order. Proviamg shel
ter is the next After the' manufac
ture of food products, the greatest
manufacturing industry In the United
States in the manufacture of textiles.
There on Rockfish creek is outlined
one of the great Industries of the coun
ty. Cotton for the factory grows with
in a hundred yards of the mill dam.
Year after year, to e end of time,
water will flow past the cotton field
on the Rockfish hills. Year after year,
to the end of time, cotton will grow
on the hills to afford raw material for
the cotton mill turned by Rocish
power.-
Now compare : this with the fa
torjes of other sections of the coun
try. Pennslyvanla Is one of the fore
moBt manufacturing States of the Un
ion.. Pennslyvanla has depended on
coal for power. The coal is going.
In time water power will have to be
used. The water power of that State
Is hampered by the freezing 'weather
of winter. ',..; - .'
Pennslyvanla gets its Iron ore from
in IV u ifan ...... .UMm... wiiw m m j mm
using up the supply. No more is rais
ed from -year to year, as Is the case
with cotton. ' Pennsylvania can look
. ahead to the day when its liberal
stores of iron ore will be exhausted.
So restricted are toe supplies that a
new iron manufacturing establishment
cannot now b'e. set up for want of ore
to operate. ' . . ..
In North Carolina a new cotton mill
may be built any day and in any quar
ter of the State, except at the high
altitudes, with the assurance that raw
material can be provided indefinitely
right at the door, and for all time.
Birmingham, Ala., is a good illus
tration of the value of fuel, or. power,
and ore, or raw materials close to
gether. Some years ago somebody dis
covered that In the vicinity of Bir
mingham coal, iron ore, and limestone
were abundant Iron furnaces were
built, and in a few years Birmingham
has grown up to be one of the most
populous cities south of the Ohio riv
er, crowding close on the heels of
some of the manufacturing cities of
the North.
Birmingham had the power and the
haw material, being in that respect
self-dependent. Unfortunately, Bir
mingham is each day consuming her
raw material and her power, and both
are of such a character that they
cannot be replaced.
There is where North Carolina has
the advantage over any of the indus
tries that are using a raw material
that is not produced by the works of
the farm. That is why, in a few years.
North Carolina's textile industries
will surpass the iron and steel indus
tries of those sections that depend
for their endurance on a vanished
product. There is no likelihood of a
dearth of mineral products, but there
is a possibility that with the need
of finding something to replace the
vanishing cheap iron ores of Michi
gan. Wisconsin and Minnesota, the
big metal industries of the North may
be compelled to shift Such can nev
er be the fate of the textile industries
of North Carolina.
The boy who likes to farm can be
assured of a permanent and increasing
demand for his farm products in
North Carolina. He can see, if ae
has one eye, that the needs of the
world will stimulate the governments,
more than ever yet, to help the farm
er get the best possible results from!
his cotton, tobacco and food crops, in
order that the needs of the country
may be met, and that the local fac
tories may be supplied with raw ma
terial. If the boy wants to take up indus
trial work he will find in North Caro
lina steadily broadening manufactur
ing horizon, and a shop opportunity
to go with it. This is foreshadowed by
the shop built up in Charlotte by D.
A. Thompkins, which already builds
and equips a cotton mill, asking the
mill company nothing but ground on
which to locate it, and the price when
work is done. When the1 Tompkins
shop is awarded a contract to build a
new mill an engineer is sent to sur
vey the location, plan the factory, and
note the surroundings. The drawings
are made at the shop, the machines
built there, the buildings erected by
men sent out for that purpose, and
the factory is delivered, ready to un
load cotton on the warehouse plat
form and to start the spindles and
looms by pushing an electric button.
A North Carolina boy may be a
farmer, and engage in modern diver
sified farming with as much promise
as a boy may begin farming any place,
and with a more agreeable climate and
amid more agreeable surroundings.
He may enter the mills or go to the
technical schools of his State and be
come a textile worker, with the as
surance that while people wear clothes
his occupation will be a permanent
one. He may take to the machine
shop, certain that while cotton mills
run, machine shops will be busy mak
ing and repairing cotton mill machin
ery, electrical machinery, and all the
paraphernalia that goes to make up
shop operation. '
If he wants to be an electrical
worker he will discover that by the
North Carolina creeks and rivers is,
certain to be the nursery of a greater
electrical development than the hu
man mind has yet conceived. Elec
trical science and the application of
electrical power is yet in its infancy,
and it is for North Carolina practice
to encourage the field of discovery and
application of electrical knowledge
and the use of electrical energy.
It does not take much of a prophet
to foresee that a boy who is inclined
toward electricity has in North Caro
lina chance far bigger than any one
boy will measure up to In one genera
tion. There is no limit In this direc
tion.
If the boy wants to engage in a
mercantile life he will find the grow
ing towns of North Carolina offering
him all the opportunity that is at
forded anywhere In the country. The
building of mills and towns will re
quire the work of civil engineers, or
mechanics, or artisans of all trades
and at wages which are indicated by
the rapid advance in wages in the past
twenty years.
North Carolina In the past ten years
has developed and applied a vast
amount of water power. Wires are
stretching over the State toward the
growing towns, but it is all taken. It
is turned to the driving of existing
machines and provided for the opera
tion of machines that are coming as
the power comes. It is creating new
lighting systems, new trolley lines,
new industrial enterprises every
where, every one of which requires
men to operate the machines.
" What Nortn Carolina needs more
now than anything else is that its
young- men shall understand fully the
advantages that are here for them,
and that they shall not make the mis
take of leaving the State to go away
to other sections of the country that
offer less. Possibly the time, was
when the young man was Justified in
going away. Perhaps be should have
stayed and taken a hand In putting
his State to the front Perhaps not
knowing the chances that were here
for him was sufficient excuse for his
migration elsewhere. But now North
Carolina knows what is available,
North Carolina people are erecting ob
ject lessons every day in every quar
ter. The growth ot factories to with
out any precedent taking the State
from one -end to the other. What is
doing on Rockfish creek is doing on
other creeks. Little water powers are
developing with big water powers. One
place it is a new cotton mill. An
other place it is another furniture
factory. Another place a tannery, a
tobacco factory, a eaw mill, a machine
shop, and on along the line of varied
industries, until the towns of the State
are becoming .manual traing schools
for young men .and women in the ac
tual practice of the trades.
' So I argued to the young man that
if he wanted to be a fanner few places
could offer to the farmer as many
attractive inducements as North Caro
line.- Or that it he wants" td'gd"tO" a
shop to work, no place could, off er a
wider range of employment than
towns like High Point. HicKory, Char
lotte, Raleigh, Spencer, Durham, and
the rest of them. Or if he wants to
engaee In engineering he can go, to
the Southern Power Company, or the
big- or little power companies, or to
the trolley companies, or to the bridge
building concerns that are at work in
the State, or some ot the new railroad
developments, or the skyscrapers that
are going up In all directions, or any
where else that a boy can find a place
to make himself useful.
Ten years ago I came from Pitts
burg to North Carolina, and I brought
a small boy with me. Some friends
protested against bringing the boy
from Pittsburg to North Carolina, but
I answered them that I was taking
him to the greatest training school in
the world. , I have not yet seen any
occasion to change my view about it
I knowof scarcely any line that boy
cannot find ahead of him In North
Carolina if be wants to choose a life
work. I know of hardly any occupa
tion that will not be open to. him in
his own neighborhood as he grows
older and has made his choice ot an
occupation.
I know of no State of the Union
that offers a boy such an opportunity
as North Carolina, and I know the
States pretty well.

Business Buildings Going Up.
Trees are being cut down and brick
hauled for the erection of a two-story,
double, brick store building on Hay
street, by Mr. R. G. Harrison, on the
vacant lot just east of Dr. D. G. Mac
Kethan's residence. Mr. S. C. Turner
is the contractor. The demand for
more room for business buildings in
Fayetteville is apparent each day, and
within a few years we expect to see
practically all of Hay street between
the N. & S. depot and the foot of
Haymount built up with stores.
Beautiful Work in Fayetteville.
We saw recently some fine mar
ble cutting done by Mr. E. L. Rems

Granite Works. It was two designs
on a tombstone with the words "Phila
thea" and "Baraca" therein. The de
signs were enlarged from a copy by
Mrs. E. L. Remsburg in a very short
time, and, like the cutting of Mr.
Remsburg, the work has great merit

m his valise and brought it home. Mr.
Jackson says that the butchers there
are paying 4 cents and 4 1-2 cents
per pound on the hoof, and that butch

it at that rate, and sell it here for
25 cents per pound.
George H. Blxby Charged With En

day to issue a felony warrant against
George H. Blxby, a Long Beach mil
lionaire, in connection with the alleg

girls.
Chief of Police Sebastian demanded
the warrant as a result of the story
told by Irene,Mary Brown Levy, one
of the young women who said they
were enticed to a lodging house by
Mrs. Josie Rosenburg, the woman now
in jail on charges of having acted in
behalf of a man known as "the B.ack
PearL"
Mr. McCartney said he ''must have
evidence corroborating the story of
the Brown-Levy girl, and immediately
Sebastian brought in two new girls,
Jeanette Ellis and Marie DeVaugn.
Their narratives resulted in the ar
rest of Bonnie Espey and her alleged
associate, W. H. Wood, who were
charged with pandering to "the Black
Pearl" and his alleged' millionaire as

Mr. Blxby, who is 49 years old and
has a wife and five children, declar
ed he was the victim of an extensive
scheme ot blackmailing.

THE MARKET MONOPOLY.
Communicated.
Why should the people pay for clean
ing the market?
Dr. McNeill, with disinfectants and
helpers, has just done it. Are all of
the doctor's salary-helpers and mate
rial at public expense??
Is this lawful, or open robbery of
the people? The hotel, like the mark
et and theatre, is private property.
Like the market, a hotel is' as neces
sary as a theatre. Why not send Dr.
McNeill with his help and material and
disinfect the hotel? Why not?
Do the people also pay for the lights
used by the market and theatre?
Some of our people are now send
ing to Maxton and Sanford for their
fresh meat, and they get the best, de
livered here, at 17 cents.
Thus the aldermen, in sustaining
monopoly, are causing the sending
away of money by our people for nec
essaries. Why not forbid the sale "of eggs any
where except at the market?
How much would mr. Williams pay
the country producer, and how much
would he make the consumer pay per
dozen? ?' ?
Why not allow drugs to be sold only
in one store?
The remedy Is, a citizens' co-operative
market, not in market house, for
we do not want to take this white ele
phant, and, what is more, we are not
going. to have it; we have debt and
bonds sufficient for all purposes, just
now. Call for subscribers ($1.00)
each for five hundred shares!
Hire a competent manager and sell
beef at cost expenses added, as' they
have done In Wilmington, where the
city owns two market houses, and
there are eleven others besides, and
where ''he citizens' co-operative mark
ets have already forced the price of
meat down five cents per pound low
er than it was.
Let us have a citizens' co-operative
market!

THE RAILROAD FREIGHT QUES
TION.
The news which comes from Ral
eigh to the effect that Gov. Craig and
the Special Freight Rate Commission
are In dead earnest in their efforts to
secure a re-adjustment of freight rates
or North Carolina is deeply gratify
ing to those who have been called up
on to pay year in and year out a rate
of freight higher than is Just and fair;
compared with the rate paid In other
states.
The state is to be congratulated up
on the fact that the Governor and the
commission are in earnest and the bu
siness people should not fail to let
them understand that they are sup
porting' the movement ; for better
freight rates. At the conference in
Raleigh on Tuesday of the coming
week It wouid be well for some of our
shippers to be present to lend further
support should it be needed.
There are reports from other sec
tions of the state of petitions to Gov
ernor to call a special session of the
legislature to deal with this matter
should the railroads fall to recognize
the fairness of the demands of the peo
ple. Governor Craig will do this any
way. but the petition idea is not a
bad one, as it will serve to strength
en the arm of the State and con
lnce thefflcers oJUhe.JxeartxjBuppoji

There is, however, a felling that the

Pains All Over!
"You are welcome,' says Mrs. Nora Ouffey, o! Broken
Arrow,Okla., "to use my letter In any way you want to,
if It Will induce some suffering woman to try Cardui. I had
pains all over, and suffered -with. an abscess. Three phy
sicians failed to relieve me. Since taking Xardui, I am in
better health than ever before, and that, means much to me,
because I suffered many years with womanly troubles, of
different kinds. JWhat other treatments I tried, helped me
for a few days only."

Don't wait, until you are taken down sick, before tak
ing care of yourself. The small aches "and pains, and other
symptoms of womanly weakness and disease,' always mean
worse to follow, unless given quick treatment - ----- - -
You would always keep Cardul - handy, if you knew
what quick and permanent relief it gives, .where weakness
and disease of the womanly system makes life seem hard
to' bear. Cardul has helped over a million women. Try it
