THE COMMISSIONER IS RIGHT.
When Corporation Commissioner Fell '
recently attended a convention of rail- ‘
way and utilities commissioners in Mia- j
mi. Fla., lie ran across some astonishing
figures regarding the expansion of North
Carolina. Mr. Fell was so struck with
the data collected at the convention that
he is passing it on to the newspapers of
the State with the appended note that
the figures ‘‘will make the heart of every
patriotic North Carolinian swell with
pride." j'
Iu his message to the newspaper men »
Commissioner Fell points out that his
data was gathered from The Miami Her
ald under the caption “Frogress in North (
Carolina’’ and printed the morning the
convention opened. We are printing the j
facts editorially because they are fully t
capable of doing what the Commissioner t
promised for them—creating greater 1
pride in the hearts of patriotic Tar 1
Heels for the ,wonderful State that is (
theirs. ,
It is pointed out that the figures are |
authentic because they are backed up ]
the government's own statisticians who 1
reduced them into ceusus reports. <
In 1900 capital invested in manufac- 1
turing enterprises were $68,283,000. In
1920 this had increased to $669,144,000. ’
In 1900 the value of manufactured (
products was $95,274,000 and in 1920 |
it was $943,808,000.
In 1900 the combined resources of '
state and national banks were $32,362.- 1
000. and iu 1920 they were $477,122,000. 1
In 1900 the assessed valuation of prop
erty was $300,579,000 and in 1920 it was
$306,579,000 and in 1920 it was 33.- 1
139.705,000. * (
In 1900 the expenditures for schools *
amounted to less than $1,000,000. This !
year the total expenditures will reach 1
$23,000,000. • ’ (
In 1900 the expenditures for 1
school buildings were $41,000. Last year
they were more than $6,000,000.
In 22 years the value of school prop- •
erty increased from $1.000,000 to $35,-
000,000. '
In 1900 the average salary of teachers J
was less than $25 per month. Last year ;
it was $lO2. -
In F.HX) the average length of school
term was 73 Jays. Last year it was 141
days.
High school enrollment increased iu <
22 years from 2,000 to 48.000.
Iu 1!>00 there were no rural public :
libraries in the state. In 1923 there were 1
more than 4.800.
COTTON CONSUMPTION DECREAS
ING.
According to figures just announced
by the census bureau, there was a de
crease iu cotton consumption in Novem
bers as compared with October. The fig
ures announced by the bureau also show
that eofton consumption in November
of this year was less than the consump
tion in the corresponding mouth of last
year. ,
Iu November of this year 531.631 bales
of cotton were consumed while the total
in October was 541.325. both exclusive
of linters. In November 1922. 579.100
bales were consumed.
Conditions have not been so favorable
in the textile field within the past sixty
days. Manufacturers of certain eoni
* modifies have been busy, but generally
speaking there has been a lct-up in or
ders received by textile plants and as a
result curtailed schedules have been ef
fective in many plants.
This condition is found in the New
England as well as the Southern mills.
In fact the curtailment is greater in the
North than, in the South as shown by
the report, which shows that during No
vember more than half of the active
spindles were in ibe Sodth and more
than half of the ctoton consumed was'
used by mills Hi cotton producing S-tates.
The exact figures follow:
Cotton spindle- active during Novem
ber 34,101,452. ,
Cotton cnUfeXjned 531.631 bales. Cot- (
ton co ncumed in cottoi producing States
358,718 bales.

.; iug States 16.162,382.
PRESS AGENT.
II North Carolinians seem to have taken
■ | Irvin Cobb's statement about the need
' of a press agent iu the State to heart.
At least civic organizations and cities
in this section of this State and certain
parts of South Carolina seem to have
awakened to Mr. Cobb’s hint and their
first concerted action was the securing
of sixteen jiages in The New York Trib
une of December 9th. The sixteen pages
were published in the rotogravure sec
tion, nine of them being advertisements
of the two Carolines and the other sev
en being devoted to stories and pictures
pointing out the advantages to be found
iu the Piedmont Section.
The front page of the Carolines sec
tion - carries the headline, “Where the
Wheels of Industry Are Now uiumiug
iu the Carolinas and Where Nation
Gobs to Play." In addition the page
carries an attractive drawng showing in
the center industrial plants in full oper
ation aud in one corner a golf course,
of which there are many famous ones in
North Carolina.
Greensboro, Winston-Salem. Concord,
High Point, Piuehurst and Greenville,
S. C.. are the cities which carry space in
the edition ami iu addition there is in
formation and facts furnished by individ
uals of the two Carolinas.
The money spent on this publicity
stunt by Concord and the other cities, is
money well invested. The cost seemed
large when first announced, but the vulue
of the publicity given cannot be estimat
ed. and the cost will be overshadowed by
the result*.
Already the advertisement is bringing
results. High Point aud Greensboro
Chambers of Commerce announce that
several interested parties have written to
those cities about locations for manufac
turing plantjs. The secretary of til 1
Chamber of Commerce here states that
four inquiries have been received by him
its a dire.et result of the Concord page in
the edition.
The Citj* of Concord, the Rotary Club,
the Kiwanis Club, the Merchants Asso
ciation and the Chamber of Commerce
made’ it possible for Concord to be repre
sented in the edition. They are to he
congratulated for seizing this opportun
ity of giving their city some deserved pub
licity.
THE TRAGEDY OF THE AGE.
The Charlotte News under the above
captain says editorially:
An exchange, writing under this cap-!
tion, thinks that the greatest tragedy of
the age is not the crime wave that is
sweeping through the country, not the
wickedness that prevails in the high
places, not the flagrant violations of the
Volstead act. not the laxity with which
ehldreu are being reared, not the liberties
and licenses which the young people are
being allowed, and which are being large-1
ly sanctioned by those who ought to j
know better, but it believes the tragedy i
of the age to be the divorcement which j
lias come about between fathers and sous.
We are not so sure but that its esti
mate is correct. It is a pitiable sight to
see the spirit of estrangement that has
developed • and continues to develop be
tween fathers and sons.
Many boys seem to be more familiar
With their dogs and ponies than with
their fathers, aud also, some Os them
may well be. - -
' The Father and Hou Banquet held at
the Y. M. C. A. Thursday night was pro
moted by a desire to prevent such Condi
tions as expressed here. There is a ten
dency in present life for the father and
son to be less of pals and comrades than
was the case at one time, and if for no
other reason than its effort to break
down such a condition, * the banquet at
the Y was successful.
• TO HELP THE UNFORTUNATE.
The members of the King’s Daughters
and B. I*. O. E. of Concord have in
structed their officers to make plaus to
care for the city’s unfortunate at Christ
mas. This plan was first tried last year
and it proved so successful that It is be
ing repeated. Under the plan a canvass
of the city is made to determine the fam
ilies or individuals who will need help
from other people to make their Christ
mas a season of joy. These families or
individuals are made public as “Oppor
tunities," and persons who have been
more fortunate in material matters are
asked to adopt the "Opportunities."
Some of the needy people of the city
are adults, but a great majority of them
are children who. through no fault of
their own may be overlooked because of j
their misfortune unless their’ intex’ests
are eared for by others. These children
dream of Santa Claus and plan his com
ing in the same manner as other chil
dren.
Giving is the true spirit of Christmas.
It is the joy that comes with giving that
makes the season the happiest of the
year, and .by aiding the “Opportunities’
Concord people caii realize that peculiar
sense of contentment that comes after a
good deed has been well done.
“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto
one of the least of these, ye have done it
uuto Me.’’
THE REMEDY THAT CURES.
It is interesting to note that a. Feder
al Couri judge iu Savannah, Ga., has
fined 24 men from SSOO to SIO,OOO apiece
for breaking the liquor laws aud sentenc
ed them from one to two years in the
penitentiary. The defendants, most of
whom are alleged to have been .engaged j
in a * big conspiracy against prohibition, |
are described as well known citizens. The
fact that they were fined ,aud sent lo
prison regardless of.their influence speaks
well for the juries, that convicted •them
and the judge that sentenced them. The
, convictions were accomplished through
, co-ojjf-ratiott cf the Federal and State
I authorities. , ;
This is the remedy that will cure the
( liquor ills. This is the w’ay to make
prohibition effective. There must be co
operation on the part of all authorities
responsible for enforcement, and there
must be adequate penalties, without dis
crimination for or against the offender.
The fact that a man is “prominent” in
a community, is no reason why he should
be given any lighter sentence than an
other man who is without prominence.
Jail sentences should be given to all
classes when they conspire to break the
dry laws of the land.
DALTON NOT TO DIE.
The case of Jerry Dalton, young white
man of Macon County convicted three
years ago of the death of a young wo
.man and a young man and sentenced to
die. has created State-wife interest and
with one or two exceptions has been one
of the most prominent cases in the his
tory of the State in recent years. Sat
urday Governor Morrison announced that
Dalton would not die. the Chief Execu
tive commuting the death sentence and
ordering Dalton to serve not less than
20 nor more than 30 years.
A point of law determined the case,
Governor ‘Morrison stated. He reviewed
all the testimony in the case, read re
ports from ten of the jurors that con
victed Dalton in which they declared
there was some doubt as to premedita
tion. and conferred with a number of
able attorneys as to premeditation testi
mony offered in the case. The Governor
arrived at the concluson that premedi
tation was not proved, therefore he sav
ed the life of the man.
Dalton escaped from prison while
waiting to be taken; to Raleigh for Elec
trocution. He lived iu San Francisco,
where he “made good.” and his life in
the west made many people think his life
should be spared. We believe the action
of Governor Morrisou wll find popular
support throughout the State.
WHEN BILLBOARDS FAIL.
Philadelphia Record.
There will always be differences of
opinion about the relative merits of va
ous forms of advertising. If there were
not. only one form would exist.
We are unable, however, to gel the
viewpoint of a few large corporal ion
whieh use outdoor, or billboard, adver
tising exclusively.
. Their choice would/ seem to indicate
their 1 belief that posters and signs paint
ed on fences exercise the strongest in
fluence on public opinion. We might at
tribute that hallucination to their in
sufficient study of the subject, and dis
miss it from our minds, but for the fact
that at times their faith seems to falter.
For instance, in the case of some of
those corporations, when they desire to
influence, favorably or unfavorably, leg- .
islatiou affecting their\ business) they 1
should logically utilize their x billboard
space for that, purpose. If the billboard
is the moat effective means of .convincing 1
the public of the merits of their goods,
it should be the most powerful agency
for pressing their economic views upon
legislators and the people who elect leg- '
islators.. 1
Do they employ the billboard for this
purpose? Not on your■ tintype. 1
They hire a good press agent, politely
called a “publicity representative.** to '•
try to get their case before the newspa
per readers. If this diplomat can't get
free newspaper advertising for them, they
buy space in the newspaper columns for
the airing of their arguments.
Why?
Are not the people to whom they want
to sell their goods the very same people
whose favorable opinion they wish to 1
enlist on propositions mutually affecting 11
their business and the public welfare? 1
When it comes right down to brass
tacks, every business man acknowledges
the daily newspaper to be the mightiest
molder of public opinion in the field. 1
and those who do not carry this fun- 1
damental belief into their advertising pro- .
grams are deliberately robbing themsel
ves of sales and profits.
National Advertising Brings Quick Re
sults.
High Point. Dec. 13.—The response to ,
the advertising of High Point in The
New York Tribune last Sunday Ims been
quick. The Secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce Fraud J. Sizemore, finds his
mail increased by numbers of letters t ask- •
ing for further information about the
city aud the opportunities that it. pre
sents. * 1
Some of these inquiries are merely doc
uments of human interest, but others
constitute what -appear to be important
feelers. One well known broker lias ask- ;
ed the secretary questions about the
community with a view to location here
possibly of an industry. ■
The city was quite well pleased with
the appearance of its advertisement in
the rotogravure section of The Tribune
devoted to the Carolinas and the letters i
seem to indicate a material return direct
from the investment.

MYSTERY OF SERIES
OF MURDERS SOLVED
Officials Think Birmingham Negro Re
sponsible for Many Axe Murders.
Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 12. —Confi-
dence that a .solution has been found
, to Birmingham’s long series of axe
* murders in the garrett of Fred Glover,
negro, Monday night, was,, expressed
here by Solicitor Jim Davis and sheriffs’
officials. Glover was identified by Ed
' ward Sparks and Mrs. Sparks on a va
cant lot Sunday afternoon. She is re
’ covering from a woiind in the head.
Sheriff’s officers pointed out that the
finding of the bloody hatchet and the
pistol in Glover’s room and his criminal
record add weight to the charges made
against him. It is also said that while
be was in prison on another charge
some time ago there were no axe as
saults m the city.
Gloved was identified today by the
Jefferson county identification bureau as
the negro convicted in February, 15122,
of burglary and grand larceny and sen
tenced! to the county roads thirteen
months. «
Sheriff T. J. Shirely announced to
day that he had assigned four deputies
exclusively to clearing up the axe at
tacks which have claimed twenty-four
lives in Birmingham. .T. F. Haywood
attacked on the night of November 20,
while returning from work died Monday
making the twenty-fourth victim.
While many were hopeful that the
axe murder mysteries had. been cleared
up, others pointed out that numerous
arrests in the past have offered no so
lution.
ST. LOUIS GETS BUSY
Wants to Secure Meeting of National
Democratic Convention.
St. Louis, Ma., Dec. 15.—1 f St. Louis
does not capture the Democratic nation
al convention it will not be for lack of
effort on the part of its citizens. They
confidently believe that they can beat
out New York in the contest for the
gathering and as a first step towards
this end a campaign was inaugurated
today to raise a fund of $130,000,
with which it is proposed to bid for
the convention. Os this amount about
$30,000 already is in hand.
The directors of the moveineut believe
they can defeat New York with the votes
of the Democratic national committee
men from the West and South, 2nd are
relying on William J. Bryan to throw
whatever influence he may possess
against New York on general principles.
New York’s “wetness,” Tammany Hail
and Wall Street domination are put
forth as arguments expected to appeal
to members of the committee from dry
and farming sections.
Substantially every civic organiza
tion in St. Louis of any importance has
lined up behind the convention move
ineut. which is non-partisan in charac
ter. The Republican mayor is chair
man of the executive committee, and
about GO per cent, of those prominently
identified with the movement also are '
Republicans.
WOMAN DISSAPEARS FROM
HER YADKIN COUNTY HOME
Mrs, Wooten Had Been Notified That
She Was to Be (Sent to Asylum at
Morganfon.
M iiiston-Salem, - Dee. 13.—Relatives
are seeking the whereabouts of Mrs.
Myrtle Wooten, who mysteriously dis
appeared from the home of her mother,
M*. Thomas Rutledge, near Courtney.
I adkin county, with whom the daughter
lived. * l
Mrs. I\ ooten is the woman who ere-
ated a sensation in Washington in 15)18 1
by trying to sse President Woodrow 1
Wilson, she claiming that she could cure 1
him of his illness with her own prepa- !
ration, which she contended to have had 1
patented, soon after he was stricken (
while on his western speaking trip in (
behalf of the League of Nations. Se- *
cret service agents followed her for sev
eral days, aud during her second visit
to Washington Mrs. Wooten was locked
up for a number of days.
It had been known for several yean?
that Mrs. Wooten’s mind was unbal
anced and arrangements had been made
to take her to the State hospital -at (
Morgan ton f<|* treatment!. She was <
sa notified the night before her disap- ]
pearanee from home.
a
Way of the Transgressor Is Hard.
The Stanly News-Herald.*
Fred Long, a young married man. is
no doubt, convinced that “the way of the
transgressor is hard.” He was convicted
in the County court 'Wednesday morning
for violating the law against immorality,
and was sentenced to serve four months
on the qpunty chain gang. Long, it
seems, persuaded a very young girl to
leave home last Sunday. The couple
were located in Thomasville Monday, ar
rested and brought back to Albemarle
where they were giveu a hearing Wednes
day morning before Judge Ingram. The
punishment accorded Long goes to show
that our courts, as well as public senti
ment, have decided to do their part to
s*amp out the too prevalent practice of
immorality now going on. In the past
the public seems to have been satisfied
in such cases to let the woman bear her
shame through life while the man in the
case got away without punishment. But
the thinking people have opened their
eyes to the seriousness of the situation,
and mature men who. in the future, in
fluence young girls into ways of immor
ality, are going to Jearu that they are
engaged in a dangerous business.
Great Praise For North Carolina.
Philadelphia Record.
The recent action of Governor Morri
son. of North Carolina, in sending militia
to Nashville, in that Stute, to protect a
negro on trial there, charged with attach
ing a white woman, moved the County
Commissioners of Nash county to ex
press their disapproval. The Governor
has promptly replied to his critics that
lie intends to use every power giveu to
him by the Constitution of his State to
prevent lynchings. There seems to be
little doubt that his firm stand will be
approved by the majority of North Caro
