A WONDERFTL STORY.
One of the nio-r wonderful stories we
have r*-ad tu some time is the one writ
ten of the tremendous development of
the South by Editor Edmonds. of The
Manufacturers Record. The story by
Mr. Edmond' was written at the ..request
of the Baltimore New>. and sets forth an
array of facts and figures “that are
enough to make any South-loving patriot
throw out hi> ehest in worrhy and justi
fiable pride.** to quote from The Char
lotte News.
In nearly all lines of human progress,
material and educational. Mr. Edmonds
wrote, the South today with 86.000.niN)
inhabitants, including in this estimate
Missouri and Oklahoma, is far and away
ahead of the United Stares in ISSO with
50.000.000 population. In many respects
the South of today is in advance of the
United States in 19<Hi. and in.some re
spects late ns 1010. The South today
lias $4,000,000,000 more capital invested
in manufacturing than the United States
'had in 1880. Its capital invested in its
cotton mills is five times a> great as the
capital >o invested in the entire country
in 1-vso.
Tl e production or coal Tn the South
last year was more than twice as great
as th<* total production of coal the
United States in 1880.
The value of the South's agricultural
products last year was $5,291.01)0.000. a<
compared with $2.212.0fMi.00<7. the total
value of agricultural products of the
Unite,i States in lssii.
The South's railroad mileage is almost
exactly that of the United States m 4880.
and the value of it> exports la»t year ex
cceded by $500,000,000 the fotal exports
of the United Slates in l's'sO.
Upon public school education tlm
South expended in 1920 over $204,000.-
000. a- compared with $78,000,000. the
total amount expended by the United
States upon public school education in
1 ssO.
Southern insurance companies had in
force in the South in 1921 $1,744.-
(MKt.tMHi of life insurance, or an increase
of 0.359 per cent, over 1904.
The value *f farm property in the South
quadrupled between 1.1 alO and 1920. ris
ing from $5.fc02.000.000 i n 1900 to $21.-
085.000.000 in 1f)20. The valm* of farm
buildings in the South during the same
period rose from $855;000.000 to $3,277.-
OOO.trt*). while the value of farm imple
ment' and machinery in the South rose
from 5200.000.000 in 1900 to $902,000.-
(KMi in 1920. #ln 1!>20 the South had
$153,000.01)0 more invested in agricul
tural implements and machinery than
tin- United Slat, < had in'UlOo.
The totql deposits in all tlte bankl^if
the South iu 1900 amounted to $681,000.-
• M>o. Iti 1922 these deposits aggregated
$6,273,000,000. The resources of nat
ional banks in the South rose from $7(Ki.-
000.000 in U.Hrt) to $4.68.3.000.000 in
1922.
The total value of the cotton crops for
the ln~t 10 years wa< $12.t>75.004JX10. or
£7.440.000,000 in excess of the total val
ue of the go Id and silver produced iu the
world in the same period. All the gold
produced in t tlie world since the discov
ery of America up to and including 1021
aggregated '■'51N.430.000.00. Curing the
11 years from 1000 to llt2l the aggregate
value of the South's cotton crop amount
ed to $21,175,000,000. or $2,745,000,000
more than the aggregate value of all the
.'old du odii. ed in the world since 1402. .
As late a s IN! Ml the total value of man
ufactured products in the l nited States
was $11.40t>,000.000, while in 1010 the
value of the South's manufactured prod
ucts. was $0.805,000.0UU, showing less
than $2.000.000,<ty0 shore of the total for
the Übitetf States in! 1800-
The capital invested iu manufacturing
in the South is now nearly three times'as
great as that invested in manufacturing
iu the United States iu 1880. .and the
value of the products is nearly twice as
great.
In 1880 the United States had $208,*
000.000 invested in cotton mills, while the
l S.„,tli lias ov,r $1,000,000,000 tlius in

CORN BREAD.
| A theoretical cook, one who % makes a
i living by giving advice rather than by
•producing the goods, published a formu
! la for a new kind of corn bread, and the
i formula justly aroused the wrath of some
|of the most prominent writers in the
i South. Two of them were quick to take
1 issue with the formula, one being Col.
Geo. Bailey, leading man on the editorial
page of The Houston Post. ( 01. Bailey
wrote with some heat: “About that corn
i bread recipe which includes three-quar
-1 ters of a cup of sugar. Tell them not
lto do it. Sugar iu corn breoif is an
I abomination. It ought to he made a
i crime. It violates every tradition of the
South. It insults the palate: it mocks
the culinary art. When the Lofd made
corn He put in all the sugar He intended
it to have.** ,
Colonel Henry Wattersou. then in re
tirement near Louisville, saw this attack
by Bailey, upon the newest vice: and.
though more than eighty years of age,
the intrepid Colonel rushed to the -lde
of the Texas colonel to strengthen his
arm in the attack.
In a letter to the Courier-Journal, the
Kentucky Colonel, after quoting the
Texas colonel, said :
-Corn bread with sugar iu it was jin
invention born to the Devil, planted in
New England and sent South by our en
emies. It is threatening the life <>f
real corn bread right in the* laud of its
birth. It has done, and is doing, worse.
It makes men trifling and women frivo
lous. It is responsible for most of the
murders, suicides and divorces. li is
the mother of Bolshevism and the (lady
of anarchy. Tt weakens the brain, in
furiates the liver and grows people pot
bellied. It brings corns and baldness
and saffronizes the complexion. It makes
the nose shiny and the skin pimply.
-It drives husbands down town of
nights. It causes the servants to be in
solent and obstreperous. It creates an
appetite for moonshine.
-It is the underlying cause of Pyor
rhea. It emboldens a man to refuse his
wife's request for money. But for sugar
in corn bread, there would be no v.ar.
no flies, no mosquitoes, no roaches, no
I. W. W.. and no Republican party.
“Let the twentieth amendment to the
Constitution forever prohibit sugar in
corn bread and let s have the vote right
away.
-This -would seem ah embracing and is
sufficiently conclusive. New England
may know how to bake beans. They say
the cider in Maine is a good substitute
for whiskey: It must be admitted that
in Boston 'Pumpkin Pic' is no shjuch.
But corn bread: I-a 1* that requires all
that George Bailey has said, and a pair
of old black hands to boot— and a red
bandanna handkerchief —and an old
Mammy's voice, rich, mellow and devo
tional :
“How firm a foundation. 5e saints of
the Lord."
PLAYING TIIE GAME.
Senators Reed and Pepper, of Penn
sylvania. are unwilling at this time to
make atiy predicitions about what they
will do when the time comes to choose
another candidate for the Republican
Presidential nomination. The two Sen
ators conferred with President T*oolidge (
several days ago and after the conference J
they were approached by newspaper men i
who wanted to know just who the two J
Senators were );oing to support.
In answer to the newspaper men the!
Senators issued a joint statement. in j
which they asserted they were uncertain
now. The question, they contend, is a
very grave uud important one. and for ,
that reason they werde unwilling to make
definite statements.
But it seems that the Senators did not
tel! how they felt even at this
time. They were asked whether they
would support President Uoolidge or Gov
ernor Pinchot. They were not asked
about Hiram Johnson. And before they
held the conference with the President
it was intimated that they were leaning ,
toward the Californian.
Governor Pinchot is playing politics :
now for all he s worth. He took a hand
in the coal strike and when a settlement
was reached he took all the honor and
glory for affecting the compromise. He
would naturally expect the Senators from
his State to support him. The Senators
know that, of course, and they also know
that it would be unwise to support Hi
ram now. and equally unwise
to come out and openly oppose the ITesU
dent.
So they are saying nothing. They are
playing politics in the strictest sense.
WILL NOT APPEAL, TO NEGROES.
The action of the Johnstown. Pa.,
Mayor in ordering certain negroes to
leave that. city, is not expected to make
that city popular with negroes. In his
order directing all negroes who had not
been iu the city seven years to leave, the
Mayor stated that the city had too manj
negroes: that the race question was a se
rious one; and that no new negroes
would he allowed to enter.
Such a situation & not surprising to
people of the SouVh who understand the
negro. Southern people knew till along
that the exodus of negroes to the North
would bring serious results, for the ne
gro doe- not understand northern peo
ple. and he is not understood there.
In a city in the West several days ago
hundreds of negroes left after one of
iheir race had received a warning to
move on. The warning advised the ne
groes that they were not wanted, that
the fity in which they had stopped had
no use or need for them, and that evei>-
oue would be better off after some of
the negroes had left. The negroes took
the warning, i and hundreds left. ,
The Johnstown case has aroused great
public interest. Tlie National Associa
tion for the Advancement of Colored Peo
' pie took a hand in matter and ap
pealed to Governor Pinchot, who asked
the Ma yor for an explanation. The May
or. however, stuck to his guns and re
iterated His warning after receiving the
‘‘communication from Governor Pinchot.
Governor Pinchot is “politicing” now.
so of bourse, he was only too glad to act.
He saw a chance to get in favor with
many negroes in his State, and as the
negro \\>te in Pennsylvania is an import
ant one. he was quick to seize this opi>or
tuiiity to please the colored people.
[ Incidents such as occurred in Johns
town and the western city referred to will
have much influence on the negroes of
the Smith. They should prove to the ne
gro that the South is the place for him.
THE “WISCONSIN IDEA”
At a recent meeting of State Treasur
ers and Auditors, held at Asheville, the
Treasurer of Wisconsin explained wliat
is meant by the “Wisconsin idea” as ap
plied to his method of dealing with State
funds.
1 Out of a total of 1.000 banks in the
State he has appointed <>3o as deposit
'cries, and these depositories have the
use of State funds in making loans to |
i farmers. The city banks are the first
to be called ujH»n when the State treas-j
ury withdraws its deposits, the prefer- ,
once being given the county banks being
provided by law.
The Wisconsin State Treasurer criti
cises the previous policy of buying bonds
or investing State funds outside of tin*
State. “Sending money out of the State
in times like these." he says, “is like
feeding all your pure fresh Holstein milk
to your pigs and buying skimmed milk
for your babies.”
1. S. COTTON STANDARDS
ACCEPTED BY EUROPE
CoGoii Associations Abroad Sign Agree
ment With Agriculture Department.
■Washington, Sept. 18.—Successful
completion of the negotiations for uni- (
versal standards for American cotton f
was announced today by Secretary M al- 1
lace, with tin* signing of agreements I
with six foreign cotton associations.
The agreements were brought from j
Europe last week by Lloyd S. Tenny. J
a'sistant chief of the bureau of agri- (
cultural economics, who made a trip to I
Europe to obtain tlie signatures of the
associations, which included those at .
Liverpool. Manchester, Havre. Bremen.
Barcelona, and Amsterdam.
The agreements with the Manchester j
Spinners Association, the Milan Cotton j
Associationd the Ghent Cotton Associa- j
tion will be approved later, it was said, i
Final approval of those contracts j
marks sthe successful completion of nego-j
nations begun several months ago when ;
the application of tin* cotton standards
act to foreign trade in cotton was first
taken up by the United States depart- '
ment'of agriculture with members of the I
American cotton trade and representa
tives- of the leading European cotton as
sociations. After several conferences,
the agreement to adopt American stand- t
aids as universal standards, with a few ■
minor changes, was reached. Mr. Ten
ny went to Europe in July to complete
the detailed arrangements and secure |
the signatures of the European cotton
associations.
With reference to the successful ter
mination of this important international
trade arrangement. Secretary Wallace
stated that “Dr. H. U. Taylor, chief of
tlie bureau of agricultural economics. Mr.
Tenny and their associates have handled
this matter in away altogether com- !
inendable.”
“It was a delicate situation requiring t
diplomacy of a high order.” Mr. Wallace i
*aid.' “and it might have developed into j
a very unhappy state of affairs. The
matter lias been concluded in away that
seems to be most satisfactory both to
our own cotton people and to our for
eign customers. The standing of Amer
can cotton grades lias been firmly estab
lished and our business regulations over
seas have been much strengthened. I
am greatly pleased over the whole mat
ter.” j

Kannapolis. Sept. 19. —On Sunday
night the four weeks’ campaign conduct
'ed by the Caldwell evangelistic party
I came to a close. This meeting was a
| great success, continuing with increas
ing interest to the last. This campaign
resulted in about five .hundred conver
sions and reconsecrations and a general
spifftual awakening. On Sunday after
noons and Sunday nights the tent was
.taxed to capacity with many on the out-
I side. On the last night eager listeners
on the outside who were unable to se-
J cure seats practically surrounded the
tent. Pastors and congregations of oth
er denominations in the city .co-operated
nobly, good will reigning everywhere.
The Methodist Sunday school made a
generous response to the call to supple-;
nfent funds for Mr. Caldwell and party.
The men's and ladies’ Bible classes each
contributed near S2OO, and Mr. Widen
house’s class of girls over $100; M-r.
Whitley's class of boys. Mrs. Swarin*
gen’s class of girls and others made lib
eral contributions. Mrs. Caldwell. and
small daughter joined the party during
the last week of the campaign, and all
left on the following Tuesday for Hen
dersonville. where they were entertained
at the home of Mr. .T. C. Coston. while'
recuperating their energies for the next
campaign. These people have endeared
themselves to many here who were made
sad when parting time came. Mr. Cald
well is termed the “Youthful Evangel
ist." His conversion took place at the
age of seventeen, under “Cyclone Mack's"
preaching, he at once accepting a pastor
ate which he served four years, after
which he began his evangelistic career.
He has served in this capacity four years.
He is unusually gifted as an evangelist,
lie delivers his messages in a fearless
manner, giving numerous illuminating
illustrations, driving truths into the
heart of the sinner with convincing force,
and arousing the indifferent from their
lethargy. Enunciating clearly and speak
ing at the rate of 250 words per minute,
lie holds his audience spellbound.
Mr. Coston. choir director, is a gen
uine in his profession and a consecrated
Christian. A sermon is contained in his
solos, which are rendered very impres
sively.
One needs to hear Miss Xita Bracey
at the piano but a few moments to real
ize she is~unexcelled in her line of busi
ness. Miss Braeey is also, secretary to
Mr. Caldwell. The song services are in
spiring and full of enthusiasm. Mr.
Caldwell “The Evangelist." a
monthly paper used as the official organ
of his party, and devoted to reports from
the evangelistic field in the Southern
States. The Evangelist contains some
of Mr. Caldwell’s wonderful sermons and
other interesting features. Subscribers
are eager to read its contents as a means
of keeping in touch with the work being
done by the Caldwell party,
Mr. and Mrs. C. it. Wisehart. assist
ed by their niece, Miss Selma Hughes,
