Tliore has been a lot of discussion
of the Question of how uftich work
a man can do.
This implies that the human body
contain a certain amount of energy
that a man has so much work "iu
him," and that Increased effort means
increased fatigue.
Hut this idea Is now being tjues
t"ioned, and psychologists tell iu that
under proper incenlhes men caa dou
ble or treblo their output without ad
vancing the line of fatigue.
"The more the mind dot's," Haiti
William James, the more it can do."
Dr. Boris Sidis, the eminent spe
cialist in nervous and mental diseases,
observed that he had not met a sin
gle case of nervous or mental trou
ble caused by too much ihl.ikl'in r
overstudy.
What produces nervousness Is
worry, emotional excil.-iin'ii!, and
la 'k of interest in the woik, lie sai l.
This seems to be jrovej by the
experience of all time.

James L. Jeffries, former heavy
weight champion pugilist 3! the
world, told In his autobiography of
an Instance where this latent store
ot energy' came to his aid In enabling
him to save a man's life.
Jeffries was a sttuctural iron
worker before entering the ring, and
one day a 'great girder slipped and
rolled over, crushing the legs of the
workman who was helping him.
Jeffries said that, although be
would never have attempted to move
the heavy weight under ordinary cir
cumstances, and probably could not
have budged It, he seemed to be sud
denly possessed of superhuman
! strength when confronted by the
emergency, and, throwing every
ounce of power Into play, lifted the
girder from bis friend's body.
I aiost of us can do what we want
to do or have to do.

All that we need Is the stimula

! But some of us don't care to wait
for an earthquake to give up this
new funa of energy. We want to
accomplish all we can right now.
To those who feel this way, we
pass along what Professor Thorndvi
calls "My rules for being able to
work all the time:"
Sleep all that la possible.
Get rid of all physical Ills.
When one Interest lags, And a new
one.
Keep on band a supply of motives
or desires.
Never learn by a roundabout
method what can be learned directly.
Never allow the mind to dwell on
a subject that may not be useful.
Waste no effort. Never worry.
Never become excited unnecessarily.
Think about what should be done
and then do It without talking about
It. ,
In a word, the whole doctrine is:
"Interest' and motive for efficiency;
and for protection, sleep."

Dr. Weston Brunr, pastor of the
Tabernacle baptist church in Kaleigh
applied tho analogy of the cloud that
came down from .It. Sinai four thou
sand years ago and out of which the
Lord God spake to Moses and through
him to his people, for a scathing ar
raignment of the present pursuit of
sensuality and greed that is sweep
ing America. In substance. Dr.
limner's remarks us reported by the
Huli'igh News and Observer, were as
follows:
"There has come to light out of
the cloud of war so amazing a spirit
of sensuality and immorality as
would make the days of heathen
Koine blush with shame," he de
clared to his great congregation.
"When the brazen Immorality of t he

It to the present day.
One life time, covers the span of
cotton milling ip North Carolina, or
very nearly, for the little mills bun
prior to 1842 were few and oinall.
From that little start has come a
giant industry which makes North
Carolina the second' cotton manufac

many respects the first. Identified

North, and more than any other coun
try, yet the South Is young In the
manufacture of coWbn goods. The
example set by the Holts has attract
ed capable men In all parts of the
State and big mills and multiplying
factories are the- rule now. The little
Alamance cotton mill with Its sixteen
looms looks Interesting now, but the
outcome of that movement, backed by
the energy and confidence of the men
who were the pioneers In the work
is one of the Industrial surprise of
every sort.
The South was slow to take up the
manufacture of cotton goods. Able
men argued that raising cotton was a
proper occupation ifor the people, but
that the factory was desirable. So
conspicuous a man as Jefferson ar
gued against the cotton mill. But
the Holts and their kind believed
otherwise. Today North Carolina
owes these a debt that will never be
paid, fot their good senso and cour
age hav been a wonderful help to
North Carolina development.

In Bedford county for thirty cents
per bushel on the trees, and had paid
the proceeds of one bushels for a
baked apple on a Norfolk A Western
dining car. Of course he got a small
pitcher of alleged cream. Uut the
apple was a small one.
We had the same experience In
Raleigh, N. C We ordered a baked
apjde without looking at the price.
The waiter brought a small apple
with a bill for thirty cents. Of course
the "alleged cream" came with It,
but It ran true to name. We have
frequently been obliged to exchange
a peck of potatoes for one baked
tuber. At present prices the cotton
grower must give up about ten
I'ounus or raw cotton ior one pouna
or cotton cloth. What we all want
to know Is, who gets the money?
Why do not the teachers of political
economy tear themselves away from
abstract principles and get down to
concrete facts about this consumer's
dollar.
