Bible Thought For The Day ■¥* RICHES HAVE WIX GS : —La hour not to be rich: cease from thine own I wisdom. For riches certainly make t themselves wings; they fly. away.— Proverbs 23:4-5. . m ANOTHER WARNING. We were talking with a cotton mill* man this week and? were advised by hum that northern capital was seeking to purchase 12.000 acres of land in this State, for the purpose of erecting a mill village to their* own taste. In cluded in this plan, would )**■ provis ion for importing into this state enough foreigners to run tin* ’ mill iyhich would be erected in their pro posed village. We hope they will be refused the right to.purchase the land. We don't need these foreigners, many of whom probably will not know the English language, to say nothing of the Am erican morals and standards of liv ing. The importation of these foreign ers is one phase of the textilo<.indus -try-that-wo will have to guard against. The greatest factor in the development of North Carolina within tile past 20 years has been the character of her working people, and we want to keep that standard high. We want to see the state progress, to Injure, blit we don’t want to see that progression at the expense of the present American bom citizenship in the United States. Our people are not going to work hand to hand with these foreigners. If they come m sufficient numbers our people will give up tlie textile busi ness;- and we will have the same unsat isfactory conditions here that now ex ist in the New England textile cen ters. The Greensboro Record sounds the following warning in this connec tion : * - “Cotton mill operatives in North Carolina* are native Anglo-Saxons. They have come largely from the Piedmont section and the mountain regions of the Carolinas and Tennes see. They are Americans lirst. of all, and they have come out of the moun tains into the textile plants, back of riliem generations of patriotic Ameri cans. They art* Southerners, born and bred. Naturally they consider the l cotton 'mill * industry theirs because in North Carolina and the South have they and their kin made it. The foreign element has never bfien used here. : “Should an effort be made to fuse with these one hundred per cent. Americans in the cotton mills of the Sdutli the lower classes of foreigners from the New England mills disaster roald doubtless be the result. “The cotton mill operatives of tlie |Xncw England Slate live a life that is different from the Southern born workers. They even speak an un known language. In morals, in abil ity, ip social standing and in Ameri can ideals the native born operatives are far superior to the workers who have come to these shores from the lower classes of Southern Europe shot through with their isms that are as foreign to America as the Europeans themselves. “North Carolina is a State of na tive boru, 'America in*. Let's keep it as near one hundred per cent. Amer ican as is humanly possible.’’ THE NEAR EAST. P , The Turks seem a iittb* less haughty since the ending of the Lausanne <;ou ■ fereiico. News from the Near Last during the past several days indicates a more friendly attitude ou the part of the Turks, and the alliod~xvarsbips. Which were ordered out of the Smyrna ■ harbor and which did not move, have not been blown up or otherwise dam ,;aged. The allies seem more in accord now. and with Italy, t rance and Great Britain lining up together, the situa tion seems more hopeful. - .It was the break between Great Unt il ii| uud France in the last days of the Lausanne conference that probably kept the„ Turk from signing the pt^ce treaty which was offered. . He saw a possible wide breach between his two most powerful enemies, and for that , reason he took advantage of the op , portunity to stall a while longer.' We* believe the Turks have about reached the end of their string of “bluffs.” When the ultimatum con cerning the movement of the ships was received by th*r allies, and they pre sented one reply, bearing the endorse ment of the ‘United States, the Turk evidently saw just where he stood, and since then he has made no more foolish demands. , To be sure the Turk is a menace, but he is a greater menace when Eng land and France can’t pull together, and when the United,.States won’t Sup port the French and British attitude. If these countries will at all times come forward and state their positions accurately, the Turk will lose some of the indifference and haughtiness that has characterized his actions since he last defeated the Greeks. LETS LIVE AT HOME. Let’p live on home-raised things this year in North Carolina. This can l»e done, and without a great deal ofjtrouble or inconvenience. To help eueouruge North Carolina farm folk to live at home this year the Agricultural Extension Service of the State College and State Depart ment of Agriculture is co-operating with Governor Morrison and the State Department of Education to call this matter to attention of farmers in every school district of North Caroli na on Washington’s birthday, Febru ary 22nd. About 200.000 blank forms have been printed and mailed to the county sui>erintendents of public ?in struction to be mailed by them to the school teachers in each county asking that a meeting be called at the school house on that date. On the blanks the farmers will liml questions directing them and asking them to do certain things during the year. If the farmer agrees to perform seven of the re quests he will be graded 70 and given a Certilicate of Honor signed by the Governor. Director Mil gore and Sup erintendent Brooks. -• (l * The questions will deal with exten sion work, work that can be done by every farmer. "We are sending mil lios of dollars out of the State every year for things that could be purchas ed here. Let’s start now and live at home. MAY BE SOLUTION. The management of the North Caro lina Public Service Company, which controls the local street railway sys tem. has decided to reduce the street car fare in this city from 10 cents to 7 cents. The change will become ef fective February 20th. The reduced fare may lie one solu tion to the street railway problem here. The company is not making any money now. We think it will lose no more with the seven cent fare. The system here does not serve many peo ple and for that reason is not very popular, but we believe the cheaper rate is a possible remedy, though we do not know if there is a certain rem edy. The company in reducing the fare is showing a disposition to make every effort to please its customers, and we think that will probably help its busi ness. When the 10 cent, rate was ap plied here many persons thought prices should be coming down, not going up, and for that reason they became sore, so to speak, and have been making a point of avoiding the street car. We Uelieve the reduction in p(’ice will have some effect on them. The situation is a serious and com plex one, all right. While we believe the cheaper rate will help some, we doubt if it will solve the problem. REAL HEROES. That was a terrible tragedy at the Manhattan Insane Asylum early Sun day morning. Twenty-two of the in mates were burned to death in the conflagration, together with three of the employees of the asylum. That there were no more deaths from the fire was due to the bravery, courage and coolness of the three burned cm jployees and their assistants. The fire broke out in that part of the asylum which housed the crimi nally insane. The employees very ! calmly walked to the rooms of the ! inmates and ordered them tip for “breakfast.” .There was no confus ion, fiio stampeding, and everyone was apparently safe uutil part of the build ing fell in, blocking the passage by which the inmates were escaping. Still the employees worked calmly among the insane, and though there were several hundred persons in the burning building all but 22 were tak eu to safety. Three of the employees lost their lives trying to get the hope lessly insane i>ersons through "the \ fire. That's real courage. Most anyone would risk his life for some member of his family or for some friend, or even lor some person who might real ly enjoy that life after it was saved; but it takes, more than -courage, we * feel, for persons to risk tlieir lives for other persons who are really man iacs ; persons who get no real pleas ure from life; persons who will have to spend the remainder of their days behind bars. There should be some way for tte families of the three men who lost their lives in this blaze, to be cared for. The of New York, of sbrne other agency if necessary, should see that they have everything that the men could have secured for them had they not made the supreme sacrifice while lighting for those persons who had not enough mentality to tight for themselves. It is deeds such as these heroes per formed that really make life worth while. * • WHERE WILL THE POWER COME FROM? Where are all these cotton mills that are sending representatives into the Carolinas expecting to get their cheap electric power, which Imss un doubtedly been basically behind the impetus which this section has shown in industrial revival? The two States have the water pow er in any abundance required in the premise* but it takes somebody's mon ey to make electricity available out of it. Nobody has undertaken it so far cm a gigantic scale with the excep tion of the Southern Power Company and that company is already over-sold on the present supply from its plants and that which will be derivable from plants under construction. It begins to look as if Mr. Duke will be* compelled to build faster than lie anticipated if li? is to stay in front jif the demand for electric power which, in turn, is sit least one of the more prominent attractions being of fered to prospective industrial capi tal—charlotte News. This is one of the most serious phases of the textile expansion in this section of the country. As The News points out, the Southern Power Com pany is the only company that is manufacturing electric power on a large scale, and already it has its plants running at capacity, with more orders than it can fill. We have the raw material for more water-power but have we the capital and the desire to develop them? We must have these things before we can care for many more manufacturing plants in the Piedmont section. FORI) MAY B11LI) MORE RAILROADS Would Also Use Ofiio River if He Cannot Get Muscle Shoals Plant. Williamson, W. Va., Feb. IS. —Henry Ford, in a statement printed here yes terdap after he had inspected his eon 1 properties in West Virginia, declared that “unless the railroads furnish ns with satisfactory service, 1 will build the Detroit, Toledo and I ronton- rail road to this section, electrify it and haul m.v own coal.” Mines are working only two days a week because of an insuftieient ear supply, Mr. Ford said. He added that in event the D. T. and I is, ex tended from Iron ton, Ohio. 80 miles from here, “we will develop the Ohio River just as we plan to develop Muscle Shoals, and use the hydro electric power to run trains and run industries.” Not Writing But Sawing Wood. •T. C. Umberger in N. C. Christian Ad vocate. We have not been writing to the 1 wiper, but nevertheless we have been trying to saw wood. We have a loyal l>eople here at West ford. They have, painted the parsonage, put some new furniture into it, have furnished most ofr the lumber for me to make a ga rage, have paid several hundred dol lars on old debts, have been keeping four or five children in the Neijr East, besides many dollars spent on regular expenses. The board of stewards has adopted the budget system and is en deavoring to pay as they go. We have a good Sunday school, Ep worth League. Ladies’ Aid Society and. several classes in the Sunday school which lire equal to an Aid Society. We have one of the best choirs and; usually have two prayer meetings' each week. On our pai;t, we have built a -ga rage and storage lioftse together, have painted some in parsonage, doner some work ou yard and have taken a re ligious census of our community. We have added a few names to our church roll, but there are many more that might to be on our roll whose names are scattered here and there.* Then we have a large class of people who are not members of tiny church. Next week we expect to have all the resident Methodist preachers of Concord preach for us. We have six resident preachers who will occupy our pulpit one at a time, from Mon day evening to Saturday evening. We are expecting a great time. Rev. R. Bland Mitchell Succeeds Dr. W. H. Milton. Rev. R. Bland MitcheF, a native of Missouri and brother-in-law of “Sil ver Dollar Bland” of that state and a graduate of the University of thq South, lias been elected Executive Secretary of the Field Department of the National Council of the Episcopal Church, succeeding the Rev.

THE CONCORD TIMES 1 MR. AND MRS LOWE TESTIFY l FOR DEFENSE IN THOMAS CASE (Continued from Page One) 1 and wore glasses. He, with li s wife, entered a fe\v minutes after court had opened. They sat in the lawyer's rostrum with the other leading wit nesses. 1 Among the character witnesses, put on by the defense, were several lead ing business men of Salisbury. They were: Ed. Butler, Spencer Clerk, B. L. Young, Spencer, automobile busi ness; T. W. Suramersett, Salisbury, undertaker and city treasurer; Smith Fousliee, Salisbury, gafnge operator; E. C. Godfrey, Spencer, automobile business: L. S. Bradshaw, Salisbury contractor; J. F. Somers, Salisbury, manager Yadkin hotel; J. G. Jones. Spartanburg, S. C., merchant; R. W. Nolan, Spartanburg, policeman; R. J. Gantt, Spartanburg, attorney, legist lator: O. L. Johnson, Spartanburg, manufacturer, former mayor of that City; Clarence Kuister, Charlotte, chamber of commerce. All gave Thomas a good character. Those who were acquainted with Mrs. Lowe de scribed her character as “excellent and above reproach.” Mrs. Lowe took the stand at 10:10. She remained on the stand until short ly after 11 o'clock. She said she was the mother of one boy, 15 years old; had been married 17 years; and was now living at Nashville. Tenn., since her husband had moved then* following a promotion and a change of territory. He is a traveling salesman. - She said that Mr. and Mrs. Thomas and she and her husband were and had been the best of friends; that they lmd often visited each other and made trips together: that her husband knew of all of the trips and that lie did not object but was glad she could go ou these. Mrs. Lowe's testimony tallied with that of Thomas. The entire lnuhicide was renewed and upon cross examina tion, was not successfully contradicted by the state. She said she saw a figure approach the car on Leonard street. She had gone there with Thomas preparatory to going to a pic ture show. Thomas had gone there to see Mr. 'Overcash on inisiness, she said. The man asked Thomas, she siTid. if lie was following him. Thom as replied no. sh<* said. “The man then ordered Thomas to throw up liis hands, whereupon Thom as grabbed the gun from mv lap and tired three times sis rstipdl.v sis hi* could.” she testified. It was custo mary for Thomas to ask any lady who accompanied him at night to hold the gun in her~lap, she said, in corrobora tion of Thomas’ testimony. “Were you frightened?” she was asked. ». “No,” she replied. “I was just scared most to death.” (j. Was the night dark A. Very dark. <_>. Where did you go irfter the shooting? A. DireoHy to tin* boarding house. U>. Did you get out of the car while on the trip? I A. I did not. Q. Did you know who approached your car? . A. i did not. Q. Were you acquainted with Al len ? A. No. I did not know him. 1 had never heat’d of th.e man until af ter the homicide. Here the state questioned Mrs. Lowe She was examined by J. J. Parker, of Charlotte, for the defense and by At torney Caldwell, of Statesville, for the state. ) When cross examined she did not waver in her version of the affair. She was questioned closely relative to attending numerous swimming par ties and picnics with Thomas. She admitted these and said that nothing improper iiccurred on these trips and that her Husband knew of them and attended as many as in* could. Shu told of a visit to Salisbury with Thomas who had come here on busi ness. Several times she was forced to hesitate in her testimony because of emotion and wiped tears from her eyes. While she testified both Mr. and Mrs. Thomas eyes were moist, at times. Q. Did your husband know about these trips. A. Yes. Q.' Did in* ever question you closely about them? A. Ho didn't hard to, he knows wjmt I am. Q. Did! Thomas, while -on these trips, ever try to take advantage of you or make mu improper proposal? A. Never; lie was always a perfect gentleman. She said on the night of the murder she wore a taffeta dross and a light coat. The length’ of her skirt, sin* said, was just below the knees. Mr. Lowe was a' strong witness for the defense. He said he knew of these trips and that he was glad Mrs. Lowe could go along. He said Mr. and Mrs. Lowe and Mr. aud Mrs. Thomas had ofteinnade au exchange of social visits. .Q. Did you have any objections? A. Not in the least. I was grad for. her to go. Q. What was tin* character of the persons who attended these trips? A. A most excellent. The country doesn’t afford any ladder people. Q. Did you every carry a pistol with you on the trips you made with Thomas. A. I have never carried a pistol. Q. You were not afraid? A. I never thought I needed one. I haven't yet seen anyone I'm afraid of. F. I*. Rogers. Kannapolis, gave Mrs. Lowe a good character, He told of seeing a Ford sedan near liethpage road on the night of the murder. J. f. Goodnight. Kannapolis, said he saw Thomas ou the night of the murder at the garage operated by Mr'. Overcash; that he told Thomas Mr. Overcash was in Salisbury attending the fair. t W. J. Cline, proprietor of the board-j ing house in Kannapolis where Sir. and Mrs. Thomas and Mr. and Mrs. j Lowe stayed, gave them all a good j character. Miss Bertha'Godfrey stated; that j she had roomed wffTi Mrs. Lowe at the Uline boarding house several times when her lipsbqud was away. She had aletr attended the swimming par ities aud hunts and had to Win- I ston-Snlehi and Greensboro with : Thomas and Mrs. Lowe and that noth i ing improper had occurred Ln any of ! these trips to the best of her knowl ; edge. | Mrs. C. \V. Wise, of ! son, C. W. Wise, Jr., said they had gone on trips with Thomas and gave liime a good character. Twenty wtitnestfxs wpi)e (examined; at Jtio morning session. Judge Webb announced that the jurors, who are in the custody of Deputy ►Sheriff Galllmore, could at tend the movies if they saw fit, go to church, play setback or checks. - Miss Godfrey, just after adjourn ment. was called back on the stand by Mr.. Williams for the state. She ad mitted visiting Thomas in tike Con cord jail. She stated she had gone to see him twice on Sundays and that Mrs. Thomas and others were along. Most of the evidence introduced Fri day afternoon was of a corroborative nature. Mis. Joe Lindsay said that she, while sitting in a car, heard the shots fired that resulted in Allen's death and later saw a car hurriedly leave the scene. Here attorneys went into technical detail relative to the location of the car she was in and the other two cars in question—the one Thomas was in and the one driven by Alfbn. Carl Spears, Cabarrus county sheriff, said be had received a telephone mes sage that night: went to the scene of the shooting; later took Thomas in his custody, first moving him to the Con cord jail and from there to Charlotte, for fear that the sentiment of the com munity might develop into mob vio lence. Counsel for the defense, byway of counteracting statements made by wit-, nesse*j for the state, in effect, that Thomas had gone on numerous swim ming and picnic parties with Mrs. Lowe, put-on several witnesses. Miss Irene Link, of Salisbury, school teacher at Kannapolis several years, ucjio was not among the witnesses at thosieriner trial. (). Did yon attend any smim ming parties when Mr. Thomas and Mrs.. Lowe wore along? A. Yes, Q. Di. Did anything improper happen? A. No. She was closely questioned rela tive to a trip she had made with Mrs. Lowe. Mr. Thomas arid several other parties to attend the .Moravian Easter services. Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Shinn, residing on the street close where the shooting occurred, said they heard the car ap proach : heard the shots and saw the flash of the gun lire. R. T. Fry, Kannapolis merchant, was a. character witness for Thomas. R. M. Holbrooks, wbo lived on Leon ard street, testified to the godrl char acter of the three / Setter sisters who testified fqr the . A regular physical examination of all children at the time of admis sion; also at least annually during their stdy at the institution and be fore their discharge.
