The city of Charlotte as, a market for truck and produce has so far out grown the local supply that the house keepers of the city are seriously in convenienced at some times of the year, to secure proper fare for their, tables. In the Spring and early Sum mer, during the season for certain truck crops here, the supply is alto gether inadequate. The consequent is that the housekeepers either do without or pay for truck brought from other sections, paying not only a profit to the trucker of that section but paying also, the freight and liberal profits to the jobber, commission house and retailer. And even then the chances are that the article used is not as fresh and desirable as a na tive vegetable would be, " One of the greatest .needs of the city of Charlotte today is a sufficient number of modern "truck farms to" at le$st supply the large local demand. One of the greatest opportunities pre sented by the city of Charlotte is to .the man of small or large capital who is capable of conducting a truck farm Mecklenburg County has an excellent system of good roads, to say nothing of the interurban and the six railroad lines into the city. Land even within a few miles of the city may be se cured at prices ranging from S40 to $150 an - acre, according to - location and exellent land can be secured as low as $25 and $30 an acre in more, remote section of the county.' With even limited . capital to begin with a capable truck farmer could become Independent within a few years. One of the chief sources of income for the. Southern Industrial Institute is its truck farm, the students doing the work and making the deliveries. There. are a few other truck farms about the city, but with two or three exceptions - they- are not properly equipped nor properly conducted. The farmers near the city almost alto gether neglect the opportunity offer ed for profitable truck raising. The Chronicle commends the sub ject to the earnest consideration of the Greater Charlotte Club. Let the club not only secure the Information desired by those who inquire but get in touch with truckers In other sec tions and present to them the oppor tunity that Charlotte offers. This Is the right season to begin work and If a few truckers could be secured now as a starter others would come later voluntarily. Raleigh and North Carolina are en tertaining notable guests this week. Dr. Walter H. Page, the able editor of World's Work, and a member of a distinguished and able North Carolina family, will deliver an address before the North Carolina literary and His- 4-X 1 A l.lt . ... - '"""w Mouvjauuu lumgni ana Hiuwin Markham will speak before the same body tomorrow night. Many distin guished men of the State will also take part In the exercises". Prof. R. D. W. Connor, president of the asso ciation, will deliver an address on "The Historical Foundations of De mocracy in North Carolina." Hon. George Rountree of Wilmington will outline "A Program of Library Ex tension For North Carolina." Dr. Wil liam K. Boyd of Trinity College will speak on "Some' Neglected Phases of North Carolina History." Dr. Archi bald Henderson of the University will speak on "Democracy and Literature." and Mr. Josephus Daniels will speak on "Nathaniel Macon and. His Influ ence on North Carolina History." ' The, Chronicle is glad to see the Greater Charlotte Club get behind the movement for better street lighting for Charlotte. The club is particular ly interested in getting the Great White Way for the uptown districts, recognizing this as one of the great est advertisements Charlotte can have and recognizing the further fact that the way the center of the city Is light ed at present is a reflection on "The City of Electrical Energy." The "Greater Charlotte Club has 850 mem bers, public spirited men, represen tative of the best that is In Charlotte. A further thought: 'Probably no 850 men could be listed outside the mem , bership of the club who pay as much taxes as these boosters pay. ' Their opinion, it seems, should have some weight. - . . ' ' '-It Is now declared that the Ger hjah tactics adopted by the Turks, to gether with the inferior arms and am munition manufactured, in Germany, caused the defeat of the ; formerly dreaded armies of the Sultan. Tile jingoes of. England will no doubt, be glad to believe this. , ' STATUS OF THE JAIL. , Judge . James' L. Webb did not disappoint-his friends lri Charlotte and Mecklenburg County yesterday morn ing when he told the grand jury that it was time something was being done toward" securing, a modern!, and . ade . quale-Jail for this counti A sugges tion from the bench is; practically the equivalent of an order; v Judge Webb intimated to the grand jury a few months ago that it was in its province to compel the erection of a suitable jail. He went even further-yesterday and told the foreman of the jury to have an early conference 'with the county commissioners and arrive at some understanding. -J--' It is to be sincerely, devoutly hopea that Immediate action can be secured. The city . and county have for years been humiliated in the eyes of their own people and in, the eyes; of ' all others who, have known onditions at the jail. The Christian people of this community have been forced to have a, jail in their m,idst as bad as those of Russia and Turkey and other places that are held lip as dark blots upon modern civilization. It . is de grading, humiliating and , dangerous to his health to confine a man in such a plaice. The county commissioners, who alone are' directly responsible, are all regarded as good men, but they have allowed themselves to be come so engrossed in the building of good roads in their communities and in the construction of bridges and oth er public improvements, that they have neglected what, in the opinion of many good people, is their great est duty. The people of the city , and county should no longer tolerate, such con ditions as exist In their jail. And the only way these conditions can be ma terially Improved is through the erec tion of a new jail. If the county com missioners will not act without pres sure being brought to bear on them, let pressure,. be brought to bear and make it some pressue sure enough. If the grand jury for any reason can not or does hot get action, the North Carolina General Assembly meets within a month. By properly organ ized effort, backed by such a petition as could be gotten within a few days, a legislative order for a new jail could be secured. THE BED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS. ' Even this early in the game it looks as if the cities of North Carolina will have no trouble in disposing of the 800,000 Red Cross Christmas seals allotted to this State. Charlotte has already sold approximately 35.000 of b,er 100,000 apportionment and Wil mington, not tp. be outdone, has wired the State commission here to send 20,000 extra seals, making a total of 100,00 ft for -the Coast City. Winston Salem antl Asheville will have no trouble at U all In disposing of their 50,000 ach and Raleigh may require more than 46,000. Greensboro has asked for only 10,000 but Tne'.Chroifc. iole can't quite believe that the last has been' heard from that usually alert and up-to-date city Reidsville, Elkin and a number of smaller cit ies of the State that were given ap portionments of five to ten thousand seals have taken hold of the matter and some are asking for more seals, in some instances twice as many as the original apportionment. The Chronicle rises to move that we make North Carolina's apportion ment of Red Cross Christmas seals 1,000,000. Wilmington has taken an additional 20,000. Charlotte should have no trouble in handling 25,000 extra. WinstonnSalem and . Asheville could easily take care of 25,000 extra, and certainly Greensboro is not going to be left entirely out of the running. The smaller cities of the State are doing well ""and practically every one would be able to use more than the original number. The papers in the various cities and towns where the seals are being handled can be of in-, valuable assistance in the matter and for that matter most of them are al ready co-operating. The sale of 1,000,000 seals in North" Carolina would mean a fund of $9, 000 with which to fight tuberculosis in this State, 10 per cent of the re ceipts going to the National Red Cross Commission. Such a fund would en able the proper authorities to make a real sure enough campaign against the dread White Plague and 'accom plish results that ' can never be ao complished until' some real work is done. Charlotte is one of the few cit ies of this section that is now effec tively fighting tuberculosis and the work here will be greatly facilitated by the fund received from the local sale of the Red ; Cross Christmas seals. ' . .- - . Following The Chronicle's suggestion, that , the building and loan idea be emphasized more,, in Wilmington as a remedy for. the r scarcity houses, a Wilmington real estate; dealer declares that there are 13 such associations there That's probably the trouble. No one of them is large enough to ad vertise and impress ; thei building and loan idea upon the people. No doubt many homes have been-built at Wil mington through the building and, loan associations and yet. we do not remember ever having seen a building and loan advertisement iiv a Wilming ton newspaper. It would .' be a diffi cult task to pick up any Charlotte newspaper of any 'date and not find one or more advertisements telling of the" advantages 'of some one of the four local ' associations. If one Wil mington aiMOciatipni would adopt the Pennsylvania and Ohio ideas and ad vertise" it would soon be doing more business than all the rest of the doz en put together. .v. j . For the first, time in six years the city of Charlotte has a representative on the board ; of county commission ers. The city of Charlotte payB three-, fourths of the taxes that go into" the county treasury, gets a mere ; hand out as-a rebate n goes on its way. uncomplaining, not even demanding in the last few years until now to have a word to say about how the money should be spent. Verily, we are easy! j The Chronicle's suggestion , tnat Congressman R. N. Page of this State be made chairman of a special com mittee of the House of Representa tives to investigate various forms of legalized graft and recommend re-; forms - and economies has met. with the approval of many papers. The reforms, are badly needed, and Mr page is the man to get action. " The' press of the State generally will welcome Mr. O. F. Crowsonback into the newspaper game. Mr. Crow son goes back to his first love, The Burlington News, in which "; he pur chases an interest and of which he again becomes editor. ; 1 That report of the accomplishments of the Greater Charlotte Club for the past few weeks shows plainly that the organization Is making Charlotte grow, leaving itto the , rest of the population to do the watching. "Under the head of , .'"Harmless Thoughts," The Wilmington Dispatch has this: "A "saucy girl often makes a sassy wife." And Cowan thinks that's a "harmless thought!" - Here's strength to the arm of "Jbe grand jury and grit to its craw. . Everybody's using themRed Cross Christmas seals. .

The employes of one of the larger industrial corporations 'in the,1 West have organized a co-operative coal club. They will pool their interests and their orders, as well, and in the aggregate of their annual consump tion will possess a power to command respect and even consideration from the coal dealers.

Hardwood Stumpage on 2,000 Acres Sold at $3 Per Thousand Feet. . - '! (Asheville citizen.) , ; Col. George w. Clark of New Jer sey, who has bought and. sold several Umber tracts in western North Caro-' Una during recent years, has just closed a sale 'of "hardwood stumpage on 2,000 acres on Jonathan Creek, . in Jiaywood County, to O. H. Kerr and S. B. Hayes, comprising the Jonathan Creek Lumber Company. The timber consists . of oak, lime,- birch, ' maple and chestnut of high quality. It is understood that $8 -per thousand feet was the price paid for the stumpage.. Colonel Clark is the principal owner of the , Jonathan Creek flume which will be extended to the timber just sold and the lumber will be trans ferred to Waynesville by this flume, at a cost of $2 per. thousand feet. The Jonathan Creek Lumber Com pany has also purchased from S. Montgomery Smith the sawmill , at Sprucemont as well as the lathe and shingle mills at Dellwood. These mills will be operated as soon as the flume extension is completed to the sawmill, which is to be located on the timber tract Juet purchased.- The company will -also establish a stave mill on the timber tract, having been assured of a large contract for apple barrel staves by the Waynesville Fruit Exchange.

The road Is doing a very good freight business and will improve all the while in thjat respect A good num ber of merchants In , Alleghany are now shipping to and from Thurmond, and large quantities of vegetables and apples are being handled at that point. It is certainly to the interest of our people to patronize the new road ' in their shipments as they are thereby encouraging the road and aiding themselves.

(Greenwood JournaL) Commission form of government is one of the most popular subjects dis cussed -these days by newspapers all over the country. The .example set by Galveston and Des Moines several years ago has caused many others to fall in line and the spread or the system has so impressed smaller cities throughout the land that the newspapers have evidently considered publicity for the subject a civic duly. For months The Daily Journal has been giving all the information it could on the commission plan and this paper now believes that the sentiment here. If expressed, would be in favor of its adoption at the earliest possible date. The subject cannot be agitated too much and we hope that some steps may be taken at once toward ascertaining if a majority of the people in this city are in favor of discarding, the ward system one that la now looked upon as being antiquated by all progressive com munities, -v v -: The Dispensary. . ; (Greenville Piedmont.) - Petitions, it is said, are to be circu lated in Spartanburg shortly, asking for an election upon the question of the dispensary.
