.MORE PRESS AGENT STI FF.
Press agents for the South are being
developed very rapidly now. Just about
every time a well known writer or speak
er visits the South he goes back to his
native State and sends out priceless ad
vertising matter for the South.
Two of the latest men to do this are
Roger Babsou. the celebrated statistician,
and Theodore H. Price, editor of Com
merce and Finance. From time to time
both of them have had complimentary
things to say of the South in articles
published in every part of the United
States, but their very latest comments,
made after recent trips below the. Mason
and Dixon line are more interesting than
others. Speaking before a Charlotte au
dience Mr. Price said :
“In the last fourtemi months 1 have
, been in every state of the Union and
without meaning to flatter my present
audience 1 can say that it is my opinion
that the man whose chief capital is hi>
capacity for work is likely to get a
larger return upon his investment in the
South than in any other part of the
country.”
M liile Mr. Babsou has not been a
guest in the South as often as has Mr.
Price lie is thoroughly familiar con
ditions and he knows it mathematically.
In a letter to a Southern newspaper he
says: ...
“For 20 years I have been watching
the country change. Business conditions
never remain the same, bur are like the
ocean of my boyhood home in Glouces
ter—always in motion. In some ways
one of the most dramatic changes 1 have
- witnessed is the upward surge of the
South.
“I well recall arguing tin- point years
ago, before the South was making the ob
vious progress of today. Years ago. fun
damental conditions clearly .showed that
must presently become a
great economic center. There were the
latent resources of power, materials, cli
mate. potential markets and transporta
tion facilities. There was the unspoiled,
native labor. There was the intelligence
ami integrity of business leaders.
“11l short, the South possessed the fun
damentals. the absolute essentials for eco
nomic leadership. It was a matter of
plain statistics and simple arithmetic.
Nevertheless, there were plenty of peo
ple in those days who regarded the South
as primarily agricultural and derided any
forecasts of industrial supremacy. In
view of actual accomplishments such
skepticism seems amusing now. but I
can assure you that in the years gone
by the point was seriously debated.
"A few weeks ago there was a textile
show in a nearby city and one of tin*
most impressive features—at least to a
layman—was the material exhibited by
the engineering concerns and power com
panies of the South. I believe it was a
real education t<» many of our business
men and business students to learn in
this direct, personal way something about
the character of a Southern textile cen
ter.”
Such messages as these are doing much
to "put over” the message of the real
South. The North for decades has felt
that the South was a mosquito-ridden
section, where no one worked, and where
half of the people were ignoramuses.
They are beginning to see the light now,
and the light is making them wise.
LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCES
OF OTHERS.
; Concord should learn a fine lesson from
the recent tire m Charlotte which caus
ech: damage estimated'at .$750,000. The
lesson, it seems, to us. ielut>s to fire
~ fighting equipment, 0 f which Concord is
badly in need.
Charlotte had quite a number of fire
fighting apparatuses when the blaze be
gan. yet the fire could not be checked.
It started in one store and before con
trolled had damaged nme other stores.
If a fire could spread like that face
of the -equipment the firemen had, what
would happen here, where there is but
one modern fire-fighting machine?
I In addition to the La France engine
there ate two other machines here, but
they carry hose' only. They are not
real fire-fighting machines in any sense
of the word, and while they could be of
1 assistance in a real fire, and haw* done
i valuable work in small fires, they would
be practically useless in the face of such
a fire as Charlotte had Sunday.
Concord is certainly not safe from
1 fires at present. The city has been
lucky in recent years that it has had no
serions fires. We cannot see how a real
conflagration could be handled with the
equipment that is on hand now.
The aldermen of the city have under
advisement now a plan to purchase more
fire-fighting equipment. They should car-'
ry out these plans at once. It seems to
us that more* modern fire-fighting ma
chines is the greatest need in Concord to
day. The purchase of additional ma
chines will necessitate the employing of
more firemen, but the firemen are need
ed as badly as the machines. There are
only a few paid firemen in the city to
day and we should have more. The vol
unteers have boon the hope and salva
tion of the city in the past, but they
cannot be expected to devote all their
time to the work when they receive
nothing for it.
Money invested in firetftghting ma
chines and firemen’s salaries is money in
vested for the city's need.
OVERLOOKING OPPORTUNITIES.
When the recent International Textile
Exposition was held the cotton manufac
turing industry of North Carolina was
not! represented among the exhibits. Xat
ual Resources, North Carolina's geologic
and economic survey, thinks the manu
facturers of the State missed a fine op
portunity to show , the world just what
they are doing when they failed to en
ter some kind of an exhibit.
“North Carolina.” it remarks ‘‘is the
leading Southern State in textile manu
facture. challenging Massachusetts. In
ihe increase of its consumption of cot
ton in manufacture it has been leading
the country. North Carolina has estab
lished its primacy in the development of
hydro-electric i>owcr. Jn the manufac
turing belt, of the Piedmont there are
miles on miles in which tin* traveller on
tin* trains sees the cotton mills operated
by "white coal” flashed by with almost
the effect of a city street.
“With the New England mills casting
their eyes to the South as the solution
of Gieir difficulties, with more hydro-elec
tric power development, and more mills
to use its product, and more capital to
finance expensive industry the most evi
dent means b.\ which that primacy is to
be maintained apparently showed noth
ing officially from this State, either in
textile or watempowers ! t
"In spite of a good deal of horn-blow
ing and sel/-congratulation. omissions
like these seem to show that not only
does North Carolina neglect its ‘press
but a: times actually reverts to
the old practice of hiding under a bushel
the light for which the world is looking.
ARE THEY ALL INSANE?
A noted alienist of Georgia declares
that Philip Fox. on trial in Atlanta, for
murder, is insane and just about the
time this announcement is made alienists
in Wisconsin declare that Kay Tompkins,
accused of killing his wife, is insane 100.
So many people charged with murder
have been declared insane within recent
years by alienists that the general pub
lic lias reached the point where it grins
and shakes its head when announcement
is made that "doctor so and so” is of the
opinion that the latest defendant is in
sane. It may be that the doctors arc
correct in every instance, but ihe public
undoubtedly feels that in some one or
two cases, at least, the doctors, generally
engaged by the defendants, should make a
report favorable to the prosecution. It
seems but natural that a few persons, at
least could shoot somebody, plead in
sanity and be sane. But if seems not.
Most,of them can prove insanity without
much trouble.
DEFEATING TUBERCULOSIS.
Census bureau statistics indicate that
the battle against tuberculosis is gain
ing ground each year and if the present
program can be maintained it will not
be many years until this disease will be
classed along with typhoid fever and
other maladies which are now controlled.
The census bureau figures show that
the number of deaths from tuberculosis
i per 100.000 population declined from 1-50
in' 191 N to 07.4 last year, taking the
I country as a whole. Some Southern
I States show an average higher than the
' national average, but the same is also
true of northern States. In the South
| the high rate is undoubtedly due to
deaths from the disease among the ne
groes. and it shows also that the States
must devote more attention to the curb
ling of the disease among the colored eit
i izens..
Every person is offered an excellent
opportunity to assist in this work by pur
chasing Christmas tuberculosis seals. All
money derived from the sale of the
seals is spent among people suffering
from the disease, and the splendid re
sponse which the seals have received
wtthiu the past several years has had
much to do with the successful fight be
ing made against the White Plague. The
public is showing greater interest by buy
ing more seals and this has meant more
money with which to wage the battle.
j ENGLAND PAYING.
Great Britain is not waiting for some
unforseen circumstance that might per
persuade the United States to cancel the
war debts. France and some of flic
other debtor nations are still asking and
hope for a cancellation policy, but Eng
land is showing a determination to nay
her part of the debt by sending cash to
the- United States.
1 -)Great Britain has just made a sec
ond payment on her war debt. The pay
ment amounted to $92,000,000, of which
| $69.000000 was semi-annual interest
I charges and $23,000,000 to reduce the
principal.
The first payment, made last s r itig,
was on account of interest only. that
this i? actually the first payment on the
principal. For several months the Brit
ish government has been accumulating
Liberty Bonds with which to make this
payment and virtually the entire amount
of the installment was paid with such
securities. Being able to purchase the
bonds as slightly less than par it is es
timated that the British government sav
ed $1,800,000 by making the $92,000,000
payment in Liberty Bonds.
England’s .policy in regard to the war
debts is making many frineds for her in
the United States. Conditions through
out the country are not all that could be
desired, but despite high taxes, unemploy
ment. dissatisfaction and other thingiC
England is showing a line spirit in lit r
financial dealings with Uncle Sam.
We believe William G. McAdoo could
go to a Democratic convention now and
receive the nomination without much
trouble. What will happen in the next
few months is a. different thing, however,
and by the time the convention is called
lit' may not be as strong as sonic other
Democrat. lie is in the fight, however,
and ean be expected to wage a real cam
paign. Four years ago lie was a "re
ceptive” but not a fighting candidate and
that fact may have accounted for his de
feat - at the convention. He is
to show his full strength next year at
the convention.
Blames Churches For Self .Righteous
ness.
Greensboro, I)ec- IS, —Although the
churches arc well organized, they arc
busy working among themselves and are
not living up to their obligations in
reaching tlu* lawless element of the
population. Judge T. J. Shaw declared
M! his charge to tho Guilford Superior
Court, grand jury.
Ilis remarks concerned the concep
tion of some people that the courts are
reformative. corrective. Many who
break the laws are never reached by the
churches, lie said, until they are in
prison or on the roads. He can t under
stand why they wait until lawbreakers
are punished before an attempt is made
to reach them.
"Greensboro is a city of churches, he
said, "but not more than one fourth of
our people attend religious services. The
people are leaving all the work -among
tin* law less classes to the courts, which
are not reformat ice.”

To Mobilize For Dry Campaign.
Boston, Mass.’, Dec. 11). —A concerted
church drive to cud law evasion and
make prohibition one hundred per cent
effective throughout New England is the
announced purpose of a citizenship con
ference to be held in this city next

Massachusetts ans Connecticut and the
Greater Boston Federations of Churches.
A larges number of auxiliary oraniza
tions. interested particularity in pro
hibition. have pleded their support to
the conference, and a general compiittee
is to be appointed from the six New
England states. Prominent speakers
from several sections of the country
have been invited to address the con
ference. the sessions of which will con
tinue over three, days.
