The rapid rise of the popularity of the automobile in North Carolina offers an Example of what is happening in all palrfs of the world. Less than ten years ago tilt* gvfcejyil public did not know of the advantages b£ the auto, for only a , few people had oue.'but today it is dis- , ferent. ''V > v ' j in 1915 there were 15.000 cars~in the j State, representing an expenditure of ( about $8,000,000. Four years luted the ( 13,000 cars had grown to 109,000 and the expenditure increased from $8,000,000 to about $90,000,000. There were many ( people in 1915 who declared the 15.000 ears would bankrupt the people of the State. These people in 1919 were cer tain ruin was facing everyone because of the money spent for the cars. But i we have been going forward steadily i since, and the auto has wrecked no one i so far. In April of this year there were i 204.500 autos in the State, costing $163.- ] 000.000. one f<»r each thirteen persons, and still we are not broke. I The Charlotte News declares the in- i crease in the number of autos in the State is an example of our wealth. ‘‘ln eight years." The News points out, ‘‘the number of ears increased from one to ev- < ery 140 inhabitants to one for every thir teen and the capital invested leaped from $8,000,000 to $103,000,000. and bank ruptcy has not overtaken us yet. In < fact, mighty few people in the State seem to know how to spell tlfe .word, 'so amazingly rapid has been the growth of North Carolina in its industry and agri culture and the corresponding better ment that lijs spread over among its peo ple individually. ' Verily, a goodly State, one kowing with milk and honey' A BAD PRACTICE. The Raleigh News and Observer says: "Many faithful and loyal clerks and stenographers employed by members of Congress are now getting vacations, but they are not the kind of vacations work ing people like. Apparently, in order to provide vacation money for members of their families and relatives, a large num ber of clerks and stenographers have eith er been dropped entirely from the pay roll this summer Dr. W‘. 8. Rankin. State superintendent of health, and tales against only 2.- 402.000 for northern mills. The number of bales required by all mills showed a decided increase in 1022 over tlie* preceding year but southern mills lead in This respect, increasing by about 1.100.000 bales while northern mills increased but 400,000 and European mills increased less than 300.000 bales. Southern mills came nearer requiring more cotton than either northern or Eu ropean mills in 1918. than in any recent year. In that year southern mills used 4.207,000 bales against only 4.213,217 for European mills. In the same year the northern mills took but 2.88.3000 bales. For more than a decade southern mills have used more cotton than the mills of the north. This increase has been steady, but reached its climax in 1922 when southern mills proved better customers of the cotton farmer than northern mills by more than a millionu and a half bales. These figures for the most part deal with the cotton industry in the South be fore the trend of, the industry started this way. With new mills being erected and additions being built to many old plants, there is every indication that the South will strengthen the hold it has on the in dustry. FRANCE AND ARMAMENTS. The French nation recently approved the terms of the Arms Conference held at Washington some time ago at the invi tation of the late President Harding. That means that certain ships of the fighting type will be scrapped, along with ships of the other nations who became party to the terms of the conference. But while she is scrapping battle ships, the French are building a bigger and greater air force. The rapidity with which this is being done is causing some alarm among other nations of the world. Great Britain seems to. be especially worried over the formidable air force France is building up. The British have always been able heretofore, to keep ahead of the other nations in Eu rope. with the exception of Germany, in developing intensive and modern fighting forces, and the fact that France has the greatest air force now is not agreeable to the British. Lord Birkenhead in the House of Lords described England's fear when he said “France could destroy Lon ldon aud almost every other center of population in England tomorrow without warning if she wished." Iu times past army experts estimated in days and weeks the time necessary to bring s&n army into action. No’fc France deals not with days and weeks but with hours and almost with minutes, relying on her magnitjeent fleet of air craft. ■ France has virtually every lsind of air k craft that can b* of service to a nation iu the event of war. She has planes which will carry 75 millimeter cannons,- planes that will transport six machine guns and their crews, planes that are noiseless and planes that are armored with battleship steel. Planes that that will serve as troop ships or transports are now under construction. It i§ certain that statesmen in the near future will fight for reduction in air forces as they have fought in the past for reduction in armies and navies. No doubt the men who were loyal to President Harding and his policies will line up behind President Coolidge and give him their support. It is now con sidered certain in official Washington that Coolidge will be a candidate to suc ceed himself next year. Os course he will be a formidable candidate, aiul poli ticians everywhere, seeing this, are anx ious to get on the band wagon. But Hi Johnson is as silent as the tomb. It did not take President Coolidge long to show to the country that he is something of a politician and that lie is not averse to receiving the Republican nomination for President in 1924. Ex- Congressman Slemp, of Virginia, his new secretary, was selected as tbe man to look after for him the delegations from the Southern section in tbe next Repub lican national convention. STATE’S BONDS UNDER OPTION ARE NOT TAKEN New York Syndicate Fails to Conclude Deal for $5,000,000 Issue. Raleigh. Aug. 18.—The attitude of the Morrison administration is that no need exists for a special session of tin* legis lature. it was learned from authoritative sources this afternoon soon after the long .ession of the council of state adjourned. Expiration of an option on North Car olina five million dollar bonds for five »er cent.—being noted at today's session of the council of state, horseback finan ciers are guessting that first and last the Max woll-Morrison controversy over deficits and surpluses will cost the state twenty millions in all. The state* had a bid for* the five mil-, lion, but the New York syndicate let tin day pass. Monday Treasurer La y will amortise these bonds for institutional cm tract ion. If the state doesn't market the whole.five millions Treasurer Lacy is authorized to sell a maximum of one and a half millions in short term notes. Governor Morrison, sitting with the ouncil much of the day. was apparently philosophical about the whole business, but lie sees at last the difficulty of straightening out the correctness of his contention seems imbedded iu the popu lar mind, albeit the Governor is confident hat rhe public can be taught the correct ness of his contention that no actual deficit exists. W bile talking finances the council dis • ussed work at Cuilowhee and the con struction of u power plant there. The Governor arrived here from Char lotte, where he delivered an address yes terday at a bridge opening ceremonial : »n the banks of the ‘Catawba river and went into conference late in the fore noon with the members of the council of state. The conference dragged on Through out the early afternoon hours, and the veil of secrecy which seemed to have bee«i thrown around the meeting gave rise to rumors which rapidly spread throughout the city, that a special ses sion of the. legislature was being discuss ed. It later was disclosed that the finan cial matters discussed by the council had to do only with the bond issue for the educational institutions’ building pro grams. Robert Bell Dies, Victim of Automobile Accident. Charlotte Observer. Robert Bell, 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

Washington, Aug. 18.—To help dis courage a practice which takes the time and impairs the strength of Presidents, members of the American Philatelic So ciety todtiy cancelled an engagement to shake hands with President Coolidge. The engagement had been made yes terday in accordance with a custom pre vailing during the administration of President Harding, who set aside an hour daily for the reception of the public, including delegates to any convention which might be meeting in Washing ton. This sometimes brought 1.200 persons a day to shake the Presiient’s hand. Tlie Philatelic Society's action was taken on motion of Howard C. Beck, of Washington, who told the convention that the thousands of visitors received by President Harding did much to break down his health. Kepner Isn’t Guilty of Killing His \Vife. Frederick, Md.. Aug. 16. —B. Evard Kepner. local architect and business man. was acquitted this afternoon of the murder of his wife. Grace Simmons Kepner, member of a prominent Fred erick family. The verdict of not guity came after Chief udge Urner. Judge Worthington and Judge Peter of the circuit court had heard testimony for eight court days. The judges deliberated an hour aud 10 minutes. Judge Urner. in announcing the decision, said that “in the opinion of the court the evidence does not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the ac cused committed the crime of which he stands charged.” Only two fathers hav£ r lived long enough to see their sons elevated to the I*residency: They are Dr. George T. Harding, of Marion. Ohio, and Colonel John Coolidge, of Plymouth, Yt.. both living. Up to the election of Warren G. Harding, .in 1920, no man could call the Chief Executive of the country "son.” THE CONCORD TIMES LITTLE CHANGE TAKES PLACE IN GAS AFFAIR Governor of Kentucky Will Ask PresL dent Coolidge to Investigate Price of Gasoline.

Women Shorten Dresses When Stam buliski Dies. London. Aug. 18. —The death of Stambuliski, former premier of Bul garia, seems to have had more than a political effect in his country. No soon or was it confirmed, says a Sofia news message, than the women in the cities began to order and nnike new dresses, aud to buy new shoes with high heelS- This is all due to the fact that Stam buliski had order that women's dresses shoud be worn long, and even described the exact length. He also ordered that pi shoes should have flat heels, and the police were instructed to enforce thesp regulations. Now the demand for dresses and high heeled shoes in Sofia is so great that the shops cannot meet it. Bridge Opening Friday ' Charlotte. Ahg. 15.—Governor Mor rison of . North . Carolina.

FORD WARLIKE NOW, A BIOGRAPHER SAYS Allan Benson Declares He Predicted a New World Conflict ami Wanted Us in It. ' Now York Times. The assertion that there would be an other world war and that “the United State should get into it at the begin ning and clean them all up" was made by Henry Ford in September, 1022, ac cording to a biography of the automo bile manufacturer written by Allen L. Benson, once a Socialist candidate for President. Publication of the biogra phy was announced yesterday. Mr. Benson says the statement was ■made when the diplomatic situation be tween Great Britain and Turkey was at its most acute stages and rumors of war were heard'on all sides. “Believing that if war should come,’* say.? Mr. Benson in his book, “propa ganda would at once be unloosed to drag the United States into it, I stopped it Fort Dearborn to interview Ford. I thought he would sound a warning against American participation in Eu •eopon affairs. To my surprise, he 'did, >recisely the opposite.” Mr. Benson says he did not publish the interview at that t;ime because “I did not wish his Wall Street friends to have another club to hammer him with. He was not then a political factor and ; t seemed best not to provide his indus trial enemies with another weapon, since then Ford has become a political 'factor and the people are entitled to '.now everything he thinks about public' affairs. “Ford’s views on war and peace have ' hanged radically since the beginning of he World War.” writes Mr. Benson, ‘lie told me in 1916 that he would not >e in favor of resisting even invasion by armed force. He took the extreme ‘pacilist position. After America en tered the war her perhaps contributed Miore to its prosecution than any other ivilian. lie now believes that we shall ae most likely to Jiave peace if we have 'the strongest mrvy in the world.” 1 Mr. Benson says that Theodore Roose velt once predicted that Ford would be i candidate for President in 1924. It ‘was not until 1923, however, he con tinues. when “Ford for President” dubs began to spring up. that, the pub ic paid any serious attention to the pos sibility. As an indication of how Ford felt to ward the idea of being President. Mr. Benson describes an incident which he ; ays occurred in January',- a uncheou attended by the full staff of ■xeeutives of the Ford Motor Company. . “Ford and I walked behind the others is were returned to his offices.” says Mr. Benson. “Appropas of nothing in par ticular. Ford suddenly pointed to one of his men and said: “ ‘There is the kind of man I wojuld ippoinr"Secretary of the Navy. "After that it did not seem to be necessary to pay much attention to Ford’s remarks about his lack of inter est in the greatest office in the world. Men who are not thinking of the Presi dency do not consider what men they would appoint to the cabinet. More over. men in high position in Ford’s service have long urged him as a Presi lenfial candidate. Ford could have stopped them. He let them talk.” Mr. Benson's biography also touches ■ipon Ford’s campaign against the Jews aid its sudden cessation. These articles, which charged a world-wide conspiracy to overthrow Christian civilization, were oublished iu The Dearborn Independent. However. Mr. Benson relates that Ford repeatedly denied that he felt antipathy toward the individual Jew and pointed out that many were in his employ. After the campaigns had been under way for some time. Mr. Benson says. Ford suddenly told him he would stop printing the articles, giving as his rea son that “there is too much anti- Semitic feeling.” * I can feel it around here.” the manu facturer is-quoted as saying. "If we were to keep this up some thing might happen to the Jews. I do pot want any harm to come to them.” The biography, which is published by Funk & Wagnails Company, says Ford declared, on the occasion that he dis •ussed America's entry into the war, ♦diat “all that is the matt«r with this world is injustice. Establish justice md everything will be all right.” Asked what should be done to remove mi justice. Mr. Benson says Fork! told him the salaries of Supreme Court Jus tices should be increased, but ditl hot tecommend a change in the appointing lower that makes the Judges. W. B.
