RELIGION IN BUSINESS.
** , .
J. C. Patton, editor of a business
page in The Charlotte Observer, is of
the opinion that one "of the finest
things about the wonderful material
development in the Carolinas is the
fact that big business and big busi
ness men—have never l*een too busy
expanding and making money to for
get the teachings jof the Kiltie." and
that one reason why the development
is so healthy is-because most‘of the
men behind the wheels of industry
are men who believe in the "old time
religion." Mi-. Patton says:
There is no more potential influence
in business today than the influence of
religion. Duns and Brndstreets are
works which business lean upon, no
book lias been such a powerful bolster
ing influence in business as the Holy
Bible. whoso code of ethics has set
the standards for the conduct of all
day business intercourse, •
The man who runs a mill or. runs a
factory according to the tenets laid
down in tin* Good Book is not usually,
hauled before the insurance commis
sioner for the purpose of having bis
license taken away from him. He is
not in court for skinning bis stock
holders. lie is not threatened with
federal prison for sharp practices.
"Honesty is the l>est policy'' is just
another way of emphasizing his truth
that business which is operated along
humane and Christian lines today is
successful.
Commenting on the opinion ot Mr.
Patton as expressed in The Observer.
The Greenville News says “it is l»e
- many practical men that the
very noticeable practice of ‘religion in
business' by men of large affairs in
this section is not only partly respon
sible for the present growing develop
ment and prosperity, but that the prac
tice is laying a foundation which will
insure the permanency of future de
devdopuient and prosperity in marked
degree. One of the most prominent au
thorities on business conditions in the
world in one of bis remit reports laid
grout stress niton the fact that gen
uine religion was one of the greatest
contributing features known to busi-
ness success today.
"The South is fortunate that most
of 'its business is conducted by relig
ious men. It is difficult to understand
why every man does not pm religion
with liis business. - Not only is it bet
ter for the present ami makes it better
for one's children who...come after, hut
even if it did not do this ‘What doth
it profit a man if he gain the whole
world and lose liis own soul'V'
DON’T NEED FOREIGNERS.
Richard Spillnne. one of the best
known writers in America, in a re
cent article declared that many Eng
lish textile workers, are coming to
America, and he intimated that many
of them were coming to the South as!
they appreciate the fact that the tex
tile industry here is just beginning.
They also wmjjd prefer to work with
Americans rather than with the for
eigners who arc in the majority in the
mills in the New England States.
While the South would prefer .the
English to tin* class ui foreigners that
work in. the northern mills, there; is no
reason why the South should import
laborers. We have plenty of people of
our own to take care of any increases
that will l»e made in the next -- few
years ami the South will prosper moi‘e
with her own people in her mills than
she will with foreigners, even though
they be English.
One mill man in Charlotte, who has
kept in close touch with the *&t-
nation in the South, states that in
some parts of South Carolina now
i ■ t
there are more operatives than jobs.
This condition, be points out, is due
to the trend from farm to factory
caused by the invasion of the boll wee
vil on the South Carolina farms. The
mills in South Carolina are running
on full time, two shifts, but still there
is some unemployment.
It will be many years before we need
to import any labor for the mills in
the South and until there is a need
for them we hope the foreigners will
be kept out. The high class labor that
is found in the South today is respon
sible for our splendid conditions more
than any other factor, we believe, and
we all should strive to keep the stand
ard high.
TRADE WEEK.
The merchants of Concord are plan
ning to have Trade Week in rhis city,
beginning .May 24th and continuing
through Jihic 2nd. . During that time
hundreds of bargains in seasonable
clothing and goods will Ih* offered, and
in addition to the regular bargains two
automobiles are to be given away.
Each person making a cash purchase
of one dollar in any store in this «ity
affiliated with the Merchants Associa
tion will be given one coupon for each
dollar spent. The same will apply-to
money paid on account.
Merchants behind the, project exp*vt
it to be the biggest tiling of its kind
ever held here, and we are of the
same opinion. The stores here are go
ing to offer tine prices on the goods to
be offered during the week, and the
goods will be something that is need
ed now. Thousands of dollars should
change hands during the week and
when money is put in circulation for
necessary goods that can be hhuglit at
reasonable prices it is money well
siwmt.
Tile-merchants are to l»e congratu
lated for tile decision to conduct the
project on a big scale. That is the
only way to put it over. The bigger
the better, (or everybody.
UNEMPLOYMENT AN EVIL.
ItoiKU-ts from practically every part
of the United States show that unem
ployment is decreasing. In fact in
some linos of business there is a scar
city of labor and with few exceptions j
every large city in the country now re- i
porj's plenty of work l'or all.
That is a happy situation for the
United States. An idle brain is not
only the devil's workshop, for idleness
means almost economic ruin for any
country. Unemployment, says Stuart
A. Rice - , one of the most prominent
economists• iu the country, is one of
the worst evils of civilization.
As Mr. Rice further says. “Discour
agement. melancholy, the anguish of
uncertainty and other mental suffer
ings when out of a job or in imminent
danger of unemployment weaken the
spirit of the wage-earner. Self, re
spect is adversely affected and a bit
ter temper affects the attitude of la
bor to capital. In such an atmosphere
ot uncertainty, suffering and bitter
ness. the new generation which must
grow tip necessarily is burdened with
a social heritage unfavorable to our
desire or progress in raising the level
of citizenship.”
THE TUBERCULOSIS CLINIC.
A tuberculosis clinic is being con
ducted in this county now and we hope
that it will he as successful as the oth
er two that have beeti conducted here
within the past eighteen months. Hun
dreds of persons were examined dur
ing the other two clinics and many of
them since have received treatment
that lias cured them or at least made
them, better than they have lieen in
years. The clinic is free to every per
son in the county, and while the phys
icians in charge want to get everyone
in the county who has tuberculosis,
they are especially anxious to examine
those persons who believe they are af
flicted and because of this belief have
never been examined. Those, are the
kind of tuberculosis patients that, do
the greatest harm, both to themselves
and society. They will not admit they
have the disease and so refuse to take
any treatment and continue to asso
ciate with their relatives and friends
just as if they were perfectly well.
Persons who have reason to believe
they are afflicted with the disease
should be certain to get an examina
tion while ithe clinic is underway. The
clinic is being held in the offices of Hie
county lidjilth department and will
continue through May 19tli.
NEED A VISION.
Rev. Lindsay Hadley, of the Presby
terian Church of the United States,
gave sound advice to the members of
the graduating class of Sunderland
School when in his baccalaureate ser
mon he told them that the man who
makes the greatest success is the umn
with a visi -n.* and that the curse of
the world today is lack of vision
among the men who rule the nation. A
! vision of helpfulness, lie stated, would
wipe out all of the misunderstandings
between individual*?, between capital
and labor and ''between nations.
Mr. Hadley stated that he was not
advocating the policy of any particu
lar party, hut he made it clear that
he thought the United States made a
tremendous blunder when it failed to
carry on the wonderful work started
at the Paris peace conference. “Amer
icans,” he said, “are thinking too much
about America ns America and not
enough about America us part of God’s
universe.”
That’s the whole trouble. There lias
(>een no spirit of service exhibited by
the United States since the Republi
cans adopted the foreign policy of al
lowing each nation to shift for itself.
We have been wrapped up with
thoughts of making America the su
preme nation and as a result have
wasted opportunities of helping weak
er nationsr
Mr. Harding, it is said in reports
from Washington, has finally reached
the point where lie realizes that Amer
ica cannot live alone and prosper. We
can still make money without doing
anything for Europe, hut we can't get
that feeling of satisfaction that comes
with helpful deeds.
THE RACE IS .ON.
It lias been understood generally
for some time that the Democrats of
North Carolina in the next State elec
tion would have to decide between A.
W. McLean and .L W. Bailey as their
choice for candidate for Governor, and
recent developments have tended to
strengthen this belief. Both men have
been willing and seemingly anxious to
talk as much in public as possible', and
when the opportunity to speak was
given them they have given their views
on public mutters in a most convinc
ing manner.
To a speech recently at Pittsboro.
near where two women are alleged to
have been flogged by a hand of mask
ed men. Mr. Bailey made plain his at
titude towart} organizations,that hide
behind masks. He declared it his be
lief that when men form together in
hands and go about behind a mask
taking the law in their own bauds they
are tearing down the foundations up
on which this government is built.
And a few days later Mr. McLean
came out against lawlessness of all
kinds. He could not stick solely to
any class of men as Mr. Bailey had
done for Bailey heat him to it.
hut he covered much of the same
ground, and showed plainly that lie
would do everything in his power to
uphold the laws if elected Governor.
The campaign between these two
gentlemen promises to he one of the
hardest fought and most interesting
North Carolina has known in inany_
years. Both men are said to have
strong supporters behind them and
Morrison men are supposed to fed
kindly toward Mr. McLean, who has
always been a strong supporter of
Governor Morrison.
SUGAR INJUNCTION CASE
IN HANDS OF FEDERAL COURT.
Government Petition For Temporaary
Injunction Taken Under Advise
ment.
New York, May 7.—The federal
court of appeals today took under ad
visement the petition of the topera!
government for a temporary injunc
tion to restrain the New York Coffee
and Sugar Exchange and its clearing
association from trading in raw
sugar futures unless backed by actual
ownership or control of the, com
modity.
The government's petition was f 'or
a preliminary injunction pending a
final hearing of the question.
The case was taken under advise
ment after Jilin W. Davis, former
American ambassador to Great Bri
tain had presented arguments on be
half of the exchange and after his
arguments had been answered by
counsel for theT government.
The court denied application of
counsel for the government to sub
mit affidavits answering those sub
fhitted by counsel for the exchange
today. X
Mr. Davis asserted there was noth
ing in the government’s petition to
show that there was a conspiracy or
an agreement or that there had been
any restraint of foreign or interstate
trade or commerce as the result of
any alleged conspiracy or agreement.

Mr. Nash said the opinion was hand

by officials. The effects of the ruling

The Halting of Development.
(’harlolte < tbserrer.
Tiie news columns carry information
which corroborates the possibility ad
vanced a few days ago in this paper,
that the high cost of construction
would bring a halt to the continued
development operations of tin*"South
ern. Power Company. Neither the
Southern Power Company nor any otli
or corporation could be expected to
place money in investments that would
not bring a reasonable profit, and par
ticularly not in one that could be op
erated only at a loss. It is intimated
that the Southern Power Company is
not disposed to suggest an advance in
the rates it may charge for power.
When the suits on rates against that
company were under way last winter.
The Observer suggested that the Cor
poration Commission lix the rates at a
figure that would justify continued de
velopment of ilower plants, that the in
creasing’ number <of industries might
lie guaranteed a supply, and this is yet
the proper thing to do. As matters
stand, the Southern Power Company
has no alternative than to lay off until
conditions improve. And in the
meantime, hundreds of industries local
to the power company's territory that
were making dependence upon contin
ued development of plants, must put
their plans into cold storage for an in
definite period.
