C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1923 NUMBER 3 , f . 5 '. ;'V'.' j ',"-,. north Carolina Sets tne Nation a Pate In Road Building. With $120,000,000 going Jnto the building of highways through state, county and Federal co op eration, as told elsewhere in this issue, North Carolina in proper tion to its population and wealth in. we believe, taking the lead far and away over every other state in the Union. The build ing of these highways saved North Carolina from much of the business depression that existed elsewhere. It stirred the ambi tion of the state. ' It stimulated the people. It created employ ment at a time when employ ment was essential. And so this good old North Stale has 'been pushing forward regardless of bad tim?s with an energy that sets a standard which few states in the Union have ever been able to surpass Its work should be an inspiration to everv other state. Moreover, there are other features connect, ed with the progress and pros perity of North Carolina as evinced in its wonderful road building campaign which may well cause the nation to pause and study. Probably no state in the Union is at the present time surpassing North Carolina in material and educational progress. It Is doing marvelous things outside of its road building campaign; and in the study of these facta it should be remembered that North Ca, olina stands at the bottom of the list as to foreign population, and baa only seven-tenths of one per cent of foreign stock. Its prog ress is not halted by the lack of foreign immigration as many people are claiming that the progress of other sections is halt ed. North Carolina finds full employment for its own people, and it asks no help from foreign immigration. It is proving to the nation that abounding pros perity can prevail and that prog ress, which should stimulate the nation, is feasible without de pending upon the foreigner. North Csrolina is building schools and colleges and univer sities with an amazing activity. Its cotton mill development hss been one of the marvels of the age. It ranks as one of the greatest furniture producing cen ters of the country. Indeed, it has a wfide and ever increasing variety of industries, created, managed, and financed mainly by local people and loca( money. In doing this work it lifts up a standard, and it challenges every other state in the Union to match the rate of its growth; and the whole of its growth is largely typified and measured by the tremendous and unprecedented road building campaign which that state is carrying on. There is' another feature in connection with North Carolina's wonderful progress which should command attention. It is one of the most law abiding states in the tfnion, and always has been. No state in the Union, we think, surpasses North Carolina in that respect. Its law-abiding quali ties are indicated in the fact that during the last year there was not a single lynching in North Carolina, though there' were five each in Arkansas and Florida and to their everlasting disgrace eleven in Georgia, and nine in Mississippi, with Texas leading with eighteen. J Wherever the mob law which finjs expression through lynch ing prevails there is1 a spirit, of lawlessness which lessen the moral backbone, of the 'people. Roxobel News. Rev.

Bryan (irlcoes If any one bad been asked yesterday to name the five most useful and patriotic men in North Carolina, the name of Col. J. Bryan Grimes, long Secretary of State, would have been included by every well informed man and woman in the State. The news of his death will shock the peo ple, who will mourn the loss of a faithful and able public ser vant. He was a model public officer, capable, diligent, resour ceful and efficient to a degree not surpassed by any of hia dis tinguished predecessors. In the past fifty years big men have bsen named for this office Joseph A. Engelhard, William L Siundera, Octavis Coke, Charles M Cooke, Cvrus Thompson and J Bryan Grimes all men of ability. The greatest of them all was Saunders who to the duties of the office added histori cal research. Uol. brimes was quite as deeply interested in North Carolina history and rend ered most useful service on the State Historical Commission The proof of his hold on the confidence of the people of the State is found in the fact that he was invincible when a candidate. He had held office long, but never sacrificed his convictions for political support. He was very young when chosen and owed his first election chiefly to his courageous leadership in agri cultural progress and freedom. Born on the farm, he was always deeply interested in all that pro moted the prosperity of the men' who till the soil. His recent most important service was as Chairman of the Building Com mission which is completing half a dozen magnificent buildings at the University of North Caro lina. He loved everything that touched the life of that institu tion and gave ii his time and loving thought. His loss will be feltkeenlv. 1 Sincerity, genuineness, frank ness, cleanness of life, upright ness, sterling integrity and cour age oJa high order marked the man. He never lowered his standards. He loved bis friends and was beloved oy them. He loved his State and public ser vice was a passion. He leaves no memory except of devotion to duty and the incarnating of hi9 noble convictions. ' He never made a brow look dark Nor caused a tear but when he died." News and Observer. I do not pray to see the bhining beauty . Of highest knowledge most di vinely true; I pray, that knowing well my duty. This I may do. I do not ssk that men with flat- tering finger Should point me out within the crowded mart, But that the thought of me may linger In one glad heart. I would not rise upon the men below me, Or pulling at the robes of men .;;:. above;.. '. I would that friends, a few dear friends, may know me, And, knowing, love. I do not pray for palaces of splendor ' Or far among the 'world's delights to roam; V I pray that I may know the meaning tender Of home, tweet home. ' v.- Ajmbiuwuby ' Pleasant Hill News.

"Give yourself a fair chance. Come to church." "A hearse la a poor yehlcle in which, to ride to church, why wait for it ' : , iwat Blalock. r "Lift Up a Standard for the People." Isaiah, chapter 62, verse 10. Th inspired prophet Issinh in t he passage quoted in this issue urging the upbuilding of the highways and the gathering of the stones out of the highways, added, "lift up a standard for he people." I he highway is a standard by which a people can be judged. It measures the economic advance menr of a country. It measures the awakened interest in educa tion and in religious activity.The highway tells, the story as to whether a people are willing to live shut out from their neigh bors, and shut out from economic advancement, gradually drifting backward; cr else leaving the region of bad highways in order to give to their families the things which every family has a right to demand to the extent of the ability of its head to provide And if a community will not pro vide good highways it is the bounden duty cf men to take their families into other sections where the good highway opens to the women and children the opportunities for a broader life, for the higher upbuilding of character, for a wider vision of world affairs, and for a chance for success in the battle of life when measured only on the plane of economic opportunity. The country boy or girl con tent to live on impassable roads by thai very fact proves that he or she has not the ambition to succeed in life; that thereis eomethfngiackTng'in their make up which, unless their natures be completely changed, will chain them through life to the dull, dreary plodding of a dismally uninteresting and unprofitable existence, Such people cannot possibly take a right view of the higher and holier things of life. Tbey cannot vision world condi tions. They cannot step beyond the narrow circle which darkens their horizon and keeps them forever held by meotal and eco nomic enslavement. Manufac turers Record.
