Blowing. Itock, June 21.—North Caro-1 liua needs a very positive expression of good citizenship.** declared .T. F. Hurley,' of the Salisbury Evening Post, speaking here tonight as the orator of the North Carolina Press Association convention. “Conditions in county, state, and na tion would be better if we had a uni versal expression of good citizenship from aIL men classed as good citizens. “We have too much passive, too little ' positive citizenship. Too many of our citizens are on vacation. We are not living the citizenship Ave profess. We are too busy to bother with the duties of eitizinship: the details do not interest us. we are busy with other matters, to us more important. We trust the other fellow to meet the demands of good citizenship.” Speaking of the resolution adopted last year by the association pledging it self to an earnest effort to combat in every possible way the era of lawlessness then believed to be prevalent, the speak er declared that he. believed the news paper men of the state had lived up to their promise and urged the publishers to a still "higher and better display of citizenship.” ‘Drifting is so easy, and responsibility taxes one far more than some desire,” continued Mr. Hurley. ‘‘Good citizen ship sometimes costs: we are not always ready to pay the price, though we are always ready for the reward. The newspapers must bring men more and more to where they will soC themselves in. civic duties and accept unto them selves full responsibility. America .is curing for the man who knows what 'o do, how to do it. and is willing to do it. "This wonderfully beautiful state was not given us* to exploit or neglect,” lie concluded. “It is ours to develop, to enrich, to glorify and hand on to a succeeding generation more lovely in God's eye than when we first received the trust. . North Carolina is lovely in mountain grandeur and in lowland sim n'ieity. She is truly a “.summer land where the sun doth shine" and you and I must give an account of our steward ship. This then is a great and pleas ing duty for us — helping our people to a higher living, the expressing of a bet ter citizenship day by day. Before we can do this we must catch the vision.” I)R. ( HAS. I\ WEAVER IS PRESIDENT OF CHOWAN I lend Wake Forest Department Journal ism Elected to Murfreesboro Presi dency. Ahoskie. June iIM. —Dr. Clms. P. Weaver, director of the Wake Forest •college department of journalism and teacher of English, has accepted the presidency of Chowan college., Mur freesboro. At a special meeting of the trustees at the college. Dr. "Weaver was present and notified the board of his acceptance >f the post. He wiif elected by the board at a meeting held two weeks ago. New Prohibition Complications. Philadelphia Record. The latent decision of the Supreme Court on prohibition is quite important. Cnder it American ships can sell in toxicating beverages beyond the three mile limit as well a>s foreign ships. Cnder the law also, as interpreted by the Supreme Court, foreign ships can not bring liquor, even in sealed compart ments. within the three-mile limit. The division is in harmony with the Eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act. and the reading of it will convince every fair-mined person that the Court had nothing else to do. What the result will be is open to discussion. Our impression is that it will make further trouble in Jilt* rn forcement of the Volstead act. It will also probably increase the price of in toxicants upon the ships which carry liquor, the reason for this being that it will cost more to provision the vessels with wet stuff beyond the threemile limit. It will also result, no doubt, in many of the ships which now carry liquor from foreign ports changing their destination, or their papers in such a way as to create'' an impression of dojibt as to what their destination really is. Many of the rum-laden vessels here after found beyond the three-mile limit will in all probability" carry papers in dicating that their cargoes of liquor are intended to supp’ly foreign ships, or American ships* as the case may he, at some point beyond the three-millo limit. Every new decision on disputed points regarding the \ olstead act appears to increase the possibility of an alibi foi the bootleggers. The foreign view of the law .as finally determined on this point remains to be discovered, gince some foreign countries whose ships touch our shores have laws requiring them to carry liquor intended for the members of their crews. They may get around it. if their law provides that each member of the crew be given a half pint of liquor a day. by forcing the members of the crew to drink four or five days' rations just out side the threemile limit. But that. too. might lead to compications heretofore unthought of by the friends or op ponents of the Volstead law. Has Sued Southern Railway. Asheville, N. June 23.—A. S. Storrs. administrator of the estate of Mrs. Lilian Storrs. has entered suit here : for $75,000 damages against the South ern Railway Company as the result of the ‘killing of Mrs. Storrs when the automo bile in which she was riding with her j husband was struck by a passenger train at a crossing near Statesville on January Bth, last. Kansas City Awaits President. Kansas City, Mo., June 22. (By the Associated Press).— President Ilarding and his party on arrival here from St. 1 Louis today will find a city gaily deco rated and thousands of visitors anxious i to sec and hear him tonight, expecting ; his speech will deal with the transporta itiou problem, of particular interest to a region of such central location. Eat More .Meat to Save Expense. Chicago, 111., June 25.—Meat cutting 1 demonstrations to show how, by propel selection of the cheaper cuts of meat, a saving of 20 per cent, can be effected , in the average food budget, will be held before women’s organizations throughout the United States this week under the auspices of the National Livestock and Meat Hoard. HISTORY OF GROWTH OF EFIRD ORGANIZATION Business Which Amounted to Only $(00,- 000 Per Year Six Years Ago Reached a Total of $1 ">.000.000 Now. * Tiie following history of the growth of the Ktird organization appeared in the Efird Chain Sale Special,' which was re cently edited and published by the head offices of the company in Charlotte: The story of Efird performance has few | equals m the mercantile history of Am erica. Frc-m one small store, doing less than ! $11)0.000 a j ear. to a mighty chain of 38 j large mercantile establishments!, doing i over 5M.000.000 in business each year— j that is the story of Efird performance in* the. short span of lfi years. _ An unusual record, to say rhe least. The reason forms the basis for this is sue today, which is a Carolina booster edition, financed by the Efird stores. No success of this character could have been founded on selfishness. No success of this character could have been achiev ed by cutting the corners, by sharp prac tices or by questionable trading. The profiteer could not have accomplished this result. What happened was this: Five boys, who a little over a decade ago were rais ing five-cent cotton on an Anson county farm, and who a little later on were elerk j iug in a’Charlotte store at sl.l and s2l ja Inonth. have simply succeeded in car j rying out an ainbitioif in a fair and ! praiseworthy manner, j J. B. Efird, head of the business today, i believed that a big mercantile business could be established right here in the _Candinas —both wholesale and retail. Each year he saw thousands of merchants go ftorth to buy goods from commission him es and pay extra freights and addi tional heavy commission charges. He saw no reason why these costs could not be saved to the merchant and to rhe ul timate consumer. So lie begun to put his ideas into practice. He a"d his broth ers got hold of a Charlotte store. Liner they secured another, and lac-r another until today they have 88 of the largest stores in the Carolinas on tiieiu list. How well this theory lias worked is shown by the fact that these B*.V stores last year sold over $1!.000,(M) ; ) worth of nu rehaudise. The mouth o' June ha- marked the i*iif.mi Efird chain sale. K > a report'- ll I, >; d, ma tin gets « xpect to reach tl.cir j goal of two million dollars wc h of goods i ; !i that tirti-. The Efird po'iey from the outset lies been to be a part and parcel of Caro lina's development, to aid in this devel opment in every possible way. Fifty years ago there was not n sol vent bank in North Carolina. l'wci.ly fiw years ago there was only a handful of mills and other industries in the Char lotte territory. Today there are over 700 cotton mills vvlt iii.t a radius of I<H> noles if Char lotte. Seventy-five million dollars wot i of automobiles and tires are sold through Cl arlotte distributors each year. Over ; 11 half million h^d* o-electric power is be -1 ing developed in the piedmont section to day from streams which 20 y-'ais ag< were not serving 1 < ‘arolina. / No states in America have recorded such a wonderful tale of industrial ex pansion ns have the Carolinas during the past ten.years. Carolina prosperity and Carolina prog ress is the talk and the wonder of Ameri ica today. North Carolina alone is spending one hundred and twenty mil lion dollars for good roads, while ■ her schooling system and her broad system of charities requires the addition of many more millions. But she is making mon ey fast. North Carolina pays to the federal government in taxes today more than the total paid by Ceorgia. Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana. The Efird business which has had such wonderful success finds its own rec ords of expansion outdistanced by its na tive state, and no business in the Caroli nas is prouder of Carolina's growth than the 33 Efird stores. The Efird idea is to try and keep pace with th<> wonderful growth of the Caro linas —a growth without a~ parallel in American history. Ask Investigation People’s National. Salisbury. Junes 21.—Several hundred depositors of the People National bank, which closed last week, met at the coun ty courthouse tonight and formed a permanent organization for self pro tection. \V. H. Hobson was elected chairman. R. E. Tuttle, secretary, and an Advisory committee composed of C H. Kluttz. R. E. Tuttle. T. A. Lud wick. J. R. Maynard and B. M. Cauh’e was formed. This committee is to in vestigate >nnd ascertain conditions of the bank as it affects depositors and re port, at a called meeting of depositors. It was the sense of the meeting and a resolution was offered that the depart ment of justice be asked to make an in vestigation into the affairs of the uank and take necessary action for the pun ishment of violations of the national hanking laws, if any violations are dis covered. The mass nrnding was advised of two plans, one by C. H. Klutt and one by a group of citizens looking to the taking over of the affairs of the hank and the establishment of a now state bank in the city. Splendid Shoot- at (lun Club. The Concord (Jun Club on Thursday afternoon held a splendid shoot at the club grounds, near the home Mr. (leorge W. Means, on South Cuion Street. About twenty-five persons took part in the shooting. Rev. Jesse C. Rowan, as usual, led the contestants with his high score. Plans are already being laid by the members of the club for a big shoot here on July 4th. at which will be visi tors from Charlotte. Salisbury, Monroe and Albemarle to take part in the con test. It is expected that there will he fully a hundred or more contestants for the prizes which will be offered to the A. B and C classes. The shoot will begin at 10 o’clock in the morning, and last through almost, the entire* day. During the day a barbecue will be served on the grounds, and indications are that it will be a big event. As one of the attractions at this meet ing. there'will be an exhibition of rifle and pistol shooting by Mr. W. F. Hall, representative for the Winchester Arms Company, who makes his headquarters in this city. Bricklayers, masons and plasters of West Virginia have perfected a Btate organization with a membership of nearly 1,000.
