We have spoken at different times of the unprecedented growth of the Southern States within the past few years. There can be no question but what the section known as "Dixie Land" is leading all other sections of the United States in rapid and sub stantial progress. New England is ftist taking a back seat and the old time injunction to "Go West" has been substituted by the wiser advice to "Go South." All of this is good to reflect upon. We take the following statistices from the Scrap Book which must sure ly be of interest to those concerned In the advancement of the South: In a hazy sort of way, many persons in the North have long been aware that the Southern States are giving their Northern sisters a close race in the fight for industrial honors. The fact is, however, that in the course of the last quarter of a century the pro gress made by the "New South" has been little short of phenomenal. This will be readily appreciated by all who glance over the following examples of commercial growth. The figures for .1880 are from the government census of that year,, and those for 1905 have been obtained by R. H. Edmonds, the editor of the Manufacturers' Record: From $257,000,000 invested in capi tal for factories to $1,500,000,000; in crease, 1,243,000,000. From $457,000,000 yearly value of products of factories to $1,750,000,000; increase, $1,293,000,000. From $21,000,000 capital invested in cotton mills to $225,000,000; in crease, $204,000,000. v From $313,000,000 annual value of cotton crop' to $680,000,000; increase $367,000,000.

FARMERS STATE CONVENTION. - This is a great day for conventions, associations, conferences, etc. The people have about come to the decis ion that while "Two heads are better than one," still the more that can be brought together, the better. And so while the teachers, preach ers, doctors ad infinitum, are meeting and planning . for augmented success, it is nothing but natural that the class of men who "Feed us all" should come together in conference. And so it is now announced that the farmers of North Carolina will hold their convention at the State Agricul tural and Mechanical College, begin ning July the tenth, lasting through the twelfth. It is hoped that as many as 1,500 farmers wid be in attendance. j The object of the convention is to ; study and discuss practical agricul tural subjects and every phase of State agricultural endeavor will be .considered. It is announced that ; special programs will bef urnished for cotton and tobacco farmers; for I' dairymen and,v best of all for women. " The farmer's wife is to be there and it ...is well that shells for were it not for v. her hand on the throttle of the farm things would certainly go to rack and ruin. ..'. We are glad to know that the farm ers have decided to come together in joint convention. There is much im provement to be made along all lines connected with North Carolina farm ing and the meeting will undoubtedly mean much to those who attend. It is gratifying to know that there is still a possibility that the Appalach ian Forest Reserve bill may be taken up by the Senate and passed. Sen ator Overman who drafted the compro mise bill says there is now a chance to pass the bill in the Senate within the next few days. It is to be hoped that the bill may be taken up and con sidered at this session of the Senate ratheT than be deferred. The bill is of gigantic Importance and is worthy of close and speedy attention. We are glad to note that the other State papers are awakening to the need of a State reformatory and are advocating such need. It is our in tention to continue the fight until our hopes are consummated. SELECTED MALE TEACHERS For the Higher Grades in City Schools Important Meeting Held Saturday Night. The board of School Commissioners of the city of Charlotte held an im portant called meeting Saturday night, Mr. J. Hirshinger presiding. This meeting was in a sense the most important of the year as it was called for the purpose of electing all of the teachers for the three schools, except one, Prof. Harding, having been elect ed at the last meeting. The board took a new step in going on record in favor of male teachers for some of the higher grades and elected Prof. A. G. Randolph, until re cently principal of the Shopton school, teacher of one of the eighth grades succeeding Prof. Foard, re signed. There are three eighth grades in the schools and two additional male teachers will be chosen at the next meeting of the board. The motion that male teachers be elected for all of the eighth grades was made by Commissioner J.. Arthur Hen derson, who spoke at length in favor of this plan, which was adopted with but one dissenting vote. This action seems to be the beginning of a new policy on the part of the board to se lect male teachers only for the higher grades. Supt. Graham said that, gen erally speaking, he wouli say this course was the better. Commissioner T. W. Dixon then moved that the following teachers be elected for the coming year: Misses Sallie A. Bethune, Lelia M. Young, Charlee Hutchison, Alice E. Holland, Margaret Ward, Edith Ward, Josephine A. Osborne, Mary Graham, j Elizabeth uonrad, Mary m. vvney, sa die Grier, Mary Darsey, Sarah Yates, Kelley, Susan Hutchison, Lena J. Smith, Nina Howell, Hattie Graham, Beth McClintock, Lucy Henderson, Josie Henderson, Bettie L. Nash, Fan nie Henderson, Daisy Cuthbertson, Bertha M. Donnelly, Woodfin Chamb ers, Mary Owen Graham, Fannie L. Harris, Kate U. Harris, Elizabeth Lindsey, Mary B. Miller, Allie Nooe, Julia D. Roberts, Jessie Henderson, Fannie B. Moore, Maggie Belle Mc Clintock, Cora Orr, Mary Irwin, Addie Belle Barron, Eunice Anderson, Hattie Alexander, Ursula Blankenship and Profs. H. P. Harding and Robert L. Keesler. ' The commissioners decided to sus pend this year the rule requiring all teachers to atend a summer school. Commissioner D. B. Smith stated that he had in preparation a motion to readjust salaries of teachers, and that he also favored allowing teachers one month's pay in summer time to defray the expenses of the summer school. DR. HULTEN'S SERMON. FUNERAL OF. MISS CARUTHERS This Lovable Young1 Lady Died Early Yesterday Morning. The funeral of Miss Mays Caruthers, whose death occurred yesterday morn ing at 3 o'clock at the home of her aunt Mrs. John R. Erwin on North Poplar street, took place yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The remains were taken to Lower Steele Creek township and interred in the family burying grounds. The services were conducted by the Rev. P. H. Gwynn of the Steel Creek Presbyterian church. . The death of this young lady is peculiarly sad. She had been quite un well for the past year, though not a constant sufferer, and there was no cause for alarm. After undergoing treatment at Johns Hopkins hospital at Baltimore, she was taken to Barium Springs several weeks ago, where it was thought the change would be bene fitting. About a week ago, there was a decided change for the worse and she was brought to Charlotte. The decease'd was the oldest daugh ter of Mrs. Mollie Erwin . Caruthers and besides the mother one sister and four brothers survive. . These are Miss Caroline Caruthers and Messrs. Randolph, Frank, McLean and Clyde Caruthers. WEDDED ON LOVE LETTERS.

Sitters Preached Splendid Sermon Yesterday Morning on "Wnau We Know About -Heaven." The First baptist church was crowded to the limit yesterday morn ing with a great throng who had gathered to hear Dr. Hulten, the new pastor of that church. After the pre liminary features of the morning ser vice Dr. Hulten announced as his subject, "What we know about Heaven," and read as his scripture selection a part of the 2nd chapter of Revelations "And I saw a new Heaven and a new earth etc." The sermon was great and the crowd was held in closest attention from the beginning - to the end. It was great because of its simplicity and was made the more impressive because of the ardent sincerity of the speaker fi Dr. Hulten has a delivery free from any gusto of sensationalism. His style is easy and engaging and the differ ent divisions and subdivisions of his sermons follow in natural order, mak ing every point perfectly clear to his hearers whether they be old or young. But, the part that makes his ser mons impressive, as they are, is his absolute sincerity. His earnestness is read in his face and is reflected in the faces of his hearers, who follow his every gesture and word, deeply absorbed and impressed. In the beginning of the sermon yes terday morning Dr. Hulten 'stated that his treatise of Heaven was of interest only to those who expected to go there. He assumed as his work ing hypothesis that all of his hearers entertained that hope, saying that he was talking neither to heathen nor agnostics. 'j He declared that one thing that made his subject of greater interest was the interest txiat his hearers had in that "City without foundation," because of the great number of loved ones who had gone on before and were waiting there. The sermon was divided into two main divisions, first "The location of Heaven" and second, "The nature of Heaven." The preacher stated that there were three heavens, the first one be ing that visible to the eye, where the birds sing and the clouds form their changing panorama of beauty. The second Heaven he declared to be that higher up, where shone the stars, Sun and Moon, only a part of this second heaven being visible. The third heaven he described as being beyond even this, past the vision of man, beyond the Sun, stars and Moon the abode of God, the real and posi tive home of Angels and Christians, the abode of the creator Heaven! The speaker emphasized the fact that Heaven was up above us, and to prove this he cited several scrip tural quotations. And then he came to the main point in his sermon, "The nature of Heaven." He declared in the outset that the idea conceived by some that heaven was an evanescent fancy, an impulse, was utterly false, saying that heaven was a positive, specific location, the home of the righteous, as realistic as their former earthly home. And then the speaker de scribed in words fraught with tenderness the natue of that "Building not made with hands, eter nal in the heavens," and .amid the de scription there seemed to be added a new attractiveness to that place, a new magnetism drawing his hear ers to it. He said that there, one should never see black hearses in the streets, crepe flying from doors, or hear the plaintive moans of the sick and sorrowful. In answer to the question, "How far is heaven away" he stated that heaven was not too far for the eye of God to penetrate the intervening space, or for the prayers of Christians to reach, its portals. "For the sinner" is infinitely great; for the saint its distance is infinitesimally small." The nature of heaven, he declared, was just what the nature of those who inhabited it made it, , just as the home was what the members ot the family were. The nature of heaven, he then said was made all the more sweet and at tractive by the presence of loved ones who had one on ahead. The preacher in tender words pictured his old home after he had been away for ten years. He spoke of the loneliness that pervaded it because of the de parture of his loved ones, and then he pictured his heavenly home where one by one the members of his old home were gathering to dwell eter nally in a sweeter and happier abode in the skies. Dr. Hulten closed his sermon with an appeal to everyone to have their names recorded in the "Lambs book of life." The sermon was a great ef fort and throughout its entire length every one present listened with the most wrapt attention. At the end there was a silence and emotion too deep for words and the crowd quietly dispersed while the organist played tenderly, the "Flower Song."
