WONDERFUL IMPROVEMENTS
Ex-Sheriff Jame F. Jordan Doing
Big Thing. ,
' Last inmmer when we vent fish
ing at Manchester, the guest of Mr.
James F. Jordan at Buckthorn Lodge
Captain J. W. Fry was In the party
and thi Captain who is the heat ko
dak man In the state, took some pic
tures of some of the things thai
tho Jordan-Kent people have dovs
that ay.
. Wt concluded that when a nmn
did sil that Mr, Jordan has done, it
wis worth a story bat not hnlu
the data we can't write Just wit at
w wanted to write, but we wan to
make good our promise to the isrty,
. because the captain and oursel left
the fishermen one day to get the pic
tures, and it looks like we should
make good.
(Mr. Jordan went down to the east
and secured an option on a great
many thousand acres of land. He
interested Congressman Kent, of Cal
ifornia, with him, and they organ
ised the Kent-Jordan or Jordan-Kent
Company, bought the land and set
about to improve It In many ways.
For Instance they are making a new
town which they call

Atlantic Coast line railroad runs

tion, the eastern) part of the old Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley railway.
The town Is about seven mites from
. Fayetteville, and the Company is not
only selling lots to deslrab'rt hut
clso small arms. Already the cm.
pany has disposed of many snail
tracts of land to farmers, and the
crops grown down that way are son ti
thing marvelous. In the corn ile'ds
and cotton fields, to give one an Idea
the corn grew ten 'and twelve feet
high; went a great many bushels to
the acre, and so rich was the ground
the cotton hardly got through grow
ing being way over a man's head
In order to make am attractive
town, th Company laid out miles
In a golf course, and the expert of
America, who laid It out personally
told ns that it was the finest golf
course In the United States. Pi iple
may wonder about accommodation
but if they will glance at this club
house they will see that things are
being done on a magnificent scale.

no kick coming. Mr. Jordan is
good roads enthusiast, and with
Engineer Phil Hardie some beauti
ful roads were built They are wind
ing roads through pines and cypress
and around lakes and are lost in
the solitudes, where deer, fox and
much game abounds. We saw

getting up a fox or giving a deer a
chase, time stops and no dinner bell
rings. Having been around over the
United States and outside of It, in
Ushinjr and hunting. Mr. Jordan
knew that nothing would appeal to
the tourist like a fish pond that

CANNED TOMATOES

away.
Mr. Holmes, of the Armour Fer
tilizer work, used to live in Ashe-
ville. and that is stili his home. He
says that the mountain people up
round Burke county took iip the
pirlt of a cannery, and concluded
hey would can tomatoes. Accord'
ngly everybody was canning toma
oes. The labels looked all right;
everything was all right until it was
discovered that the roadoide was
Oiled with tomato cans with a small
nail hole In them. This set people
thinking and finally the revenue offi
cers discovered that the tomatoes
po-called were corn whiskey. Had
those who bought the canned goads
Bed a can-opener Instead of- a nail
to get out the contents the canning
industry would have prospered. But
using a nail, wise men saw that
canned tomatoes couldn't come out
of such a small hole, sc the revenues
got busy and ended it all. There are
no longer any canned tomatoes in
the mountains. ,
O
BIG VIOLATORS
LITTLE TALK ON POLITICS
Where The Papers Get It Wrong and
Do Not Understand
Three Hundred Thousand Violations
' of The Law
It has been figured out that by
269 systems of railways there have
been 300,000 violations of the six
teen hour law toy railway companies.
That is a law that isr hard to get
down buj'ness. A train crew has
worked almost to the limit and is six
miles' frum anywhere when sudden
ly a wrerk occurs and to attempt to
repair it, the crew must either work
desert the train.-. The' sixteen
hour law is all to the good theoreti
cally, but like a lot of other laws
there are times when a calm and
dispassionate judge should Interpret
it, and say that it was for the public's
good and not to the public's detri
ment thai they were violated, and let
It go at that
The comment of some of the staU
papers concerning the candidacy of
General Carr for Governor Is mislead
ing. A good old Burke county demo
crat nominated General Carr for Gov
ernor, we came along and second
ed the nomination, moved it be made
unanimous, and the press has taken
up the matter and is discussing it.
We are informed that General Carr
has said he would not announce him
self as a canlidate for any office. We
have insirled upon this from the, be
ginning. But General Carr has not
said, there lb yet no need of him say
ing It, that he would not serve his
state if the state invited him to serve,
In the esteemed News the editor
is glad that Carr is not running be
cause some of the Jackals would at
tach themselves to him to bleed him.
That is where Everything Is lending
a helping hand. It wants to see
Carr's friends run him; wants the
General to keep hands off; talk off
and let his numerous friends see If
North Carolina will not reward a
patriot ' and her most conspicuous
philanthropist We want no more of
the hounding of candidates for money
such, for Instance, as made J. El-
wood Cox disgusted when he was
running for Governor. No hold-up
games. If General Carr s friends
will insist, they can nominate him
by acclamation; he needn't spend
one red! dime and then the honor
would be worth while.
We are glad to see that -Judge
Walter Clark comes out for General
Carr; that Major Stedman and many
North Carolina -politicians say he is
the man. In the meantime General
Carr insists that he Isn't running
and he isn't.' His friends are run
ning him.
