DAY OF OPPORTUNITY James Madison Brown is one of many thousands of yount: men in North Carolina who can look back on his ancestors with pride. They lived at a time when opportunities were few in North Carolina, w!wr. a com mnn Mehool education way difficult to obtain and xvhen there were few men and women with vision enough to scan the future in North Carolina. TJinv .miM not know that in 1922 no boy or girl in North Carolina need bo denied a high 3choot education almost as good as that to be obtain ed in the colleges of their day. Brown'a grandparent could barely read and write. There were few public schools in their section of tho state and the free schoob, as they wcie called, generally were poorly con ducted and continued for c short per iod. His grandparents did not have many advantages. But Ihey gave their children all the advantage:! they could along with some good, honest work before and after school. They were taught industry and persever ancc. On one side the grandparents pvob ably had better advantages than n the other; in most cases that is a fact today. When Brown was born his parents were residing on a farm in. comfort able circumstances for that day and time. Thev had been fixed by circum stances to their enviromcnt. which they loved and which they tried to improve. While they could Incrvaae their knowledge by reading and study, they realized that opportunity lor them had gone by. It was no fault of theirs or their parents. They did not blame anybody. But they resolved to give their own children greater opportunities ha,i they themselves had enjoyed. They skimped here and there, toiled early and late, and se?, the youngster to free and paid schools and helped them get Off to college. When Brown was a vounor man dollars were still hard to get, and he can remember that the black Sunday dress his mother owned had a counterpart throughout his section and lasted for many years. Brown has. seen his state grow in agricultural. Industrial and education al wealth. He has stayed at home to help along the people who have help ed him and others along. He sees the . greater opportunities for education In North Carolina and rejoices. Brown is nearly CO years old now, with children of his own. Like his ancestors, ho is thinking of the com ing generation and willing to work hard that they may nave better op portunitics than he had. His lot is much easier than was that of his parents and three times as easy as that of his grandparents. He could not find half a dozen families today who get hold of less money than his parents saw in the same length of time. Ho knows that there is oppor ' tunity for every boy and girl with ambition. The son of a blacksmith has just as good a chance to succeed as the son of a lawyer. It requires a good mind, willingness to work and a longing to get somewhere. Nearly every boy and girl has a good mind. ' As Brown studies the situation to day, ho knows that his grandparents would have been fired if there had been isiblje to them one-tenth the light of hope that shines today for very boy and girl. Parents who sit down, fold their hands and complain won't inspire their children to great things. Par ents must turn back the pages of time for a few years, note the lack of opportunities 75 years ago and SO and 25 years ago, and compare them with the present if they arei in earnest about progress, x nougn their own destinies may be as fixed as the stars, they must realize that ; opportunity beckons loudly to the boy and girl whojse parents today arc capable of inspiring ambition. We are not living today for our selves. If we are real men and women, we are living, for the future to. im prove the community, the state and liatien for the millions of people who are to follow us. Tkof. what. Brown's forebears Jk V O " - did when it appeared that there was nothing but drudgery ahead for all. The Chicago janitor who ordered TV M. Jewell and other members of the policy committee out of .the hall 10 minutes before 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon so that he could clean up "for some wimmin." had no idea that he was interrupting deliberations thnt were awaited with intense eagerness by the whole country. The commits adjourned until today with all mem bers seemingly cheerful. The end. Oi. the rail strike is near. Former President Wilson, who sent Senator Overman a ietter a few days ago, has not lost his sense of humoa. The senator slipped and fell and will be compelled to stay off his foot for weeks. "We must, I think," the cx- president wrote, 'Meave all mis-steps to the Republicans, and l aavi.se juj as a true Democrat to watch your step." This is a bit of humor that everybody can appreciate. It was writ ten by a man who himself is not well. Thos. O. McLood of Bishovivillc de feated Cole L. Blease of Newberry for the Democratic nomination ior governor in South Carolina yesterday by a majority of more than 15,wu. 15lra.se K-d in the first primary, but. fell short in the run-off. With Varda- man beaten in Mississippi, Ferguson. in Texas and Blease in bouni caro- t KB Caro- l CS Una, the signs multiply that thc.pco---jg pic know what they arc about. g Tn thn Mhiiic elections, which ire EZ generally looked forward to by the politicians, the Republicans were elected by greatly reduced majorities. 13 If the same ratio of losses should be maintained in close congressional fli-s-tricts in the other states in Novem ber, the Democrats would have n n majority in the next house, lhat won t happen, of course, but there will be many new faces in the lower house. The showers that passed in the day eave Hickorv and this section plenty of latitude. Only a few drops. About September 21, however, there wU be equinoctial rains and then we will ccme in for a share. A o-reat many of Baxter McLendon's friends hereabouts can't understand why he supported Cole Blease for governor so heartily. Well, they re semble each other, for one thing. This is undoubtedly a government of the people and for the people, but it won't ba that long classes get it into their hands that they can do what they please. . Rnmn of the napcrs, notably the Salisbury Post, are talking about the "neglected main line." But, boys, ou get your morning paper before noon, don't you? NATURE'S CONSPIRACY A idance at the map tells about the whole story of Nature's conspiracy to make North Carolina great, vvnw nn-ani tbnt nmvides ocean trans- portation to ports. of the world. .Short rail carriage to tne centers oi vvuia tion.

While oth er states use up their iron ore and glass sand, and their coal and tneir gas fuel, North Carolina goes ahead making its material and its power from its constant resources, and it is the one state of the Union that hat its manufacturing plants based on a permanent source of power and material. Here is an agreeable section in which to live. People from every where come to North Carolina for recreation and holiday. Here is a section in which industry is encour aged by an abundance of the things needed for many times the popula tion we have.
