H. GARY, STEEL MAGNATE SEES BIG FUTURE FOR U. S. ADDRESS BEFORE STEEL ASSO- CIATION BREATHES OPTIM ISM IN ABUNDANCE. . WAR OF.DQILARS & CENTS Thinks Europe Is Torn by Desire for Commercial Supremacy Grow ing Sentiment for Just and Fair Treatment of All. (By the United Press.) Birmingham. Ala., Oct 29. Ex pressing only the greatest optimism as to the business outlook for the fu ' ture and asserting that "The oppor tunities for progress and success in this country are greater than ever before," Elbert H. Gary of the Unit ed States Steel Corporation, and pres ident of the American Iron and Steel Institute, addressed the semi-annual meeting of the Institute here today. He reviewed the iron and steel trade, not only of the United States, but of the world in touching upon the amic able relations existing between the business men of various European na tions and those of the United States following the meeting of the repre sentatives of the iron and stel manu facturing industries of the world in Europe three years ago. In this con nection Gary touched upon the Eu ropean war, and declared: "Without giving reason in detail at the present time, I venture the opin ion that the struggle for commercial supremacy was the underlying cause of the war, or at least had a decided influence upon its precipitation; that the questions at issue largely relate to dollars and cents, i Discussing business conditions, Ga ry said: i "I am an optimist in principle as well as in practice. There is always a bright side although it may be temporarily obscured. However, nothing is to be gained by closing our 1 eyes to well-known and clearly recog- ' nized facts; and at present we are not very prosperous in our lines. I "Butwhat of the future? We are always comforted by the fact that the productive capacity and actual pro duction of wealth in the United States is growing year by year; and this ability tp produce will not and cannot be diminished. "As to the long future, I do not hesitate to say, with emphasis that the opportunities for progress and success in this country aro Rieatcr than ever before. "It is wise for all of us here today to place our faith in the wonderful possibilities of this country. In this connection, it is to be remembered. there is a growing sentiment through out the country in favor of just and fair treatment to all the people and all departments of human endeavor. "All that I have said applies forci bly to our business. We who are here today are engaged in competi tion; we are naturally selfish; we are often inconsiderate and indifferent. It was customary in days jrone by t harlror m 5Swt1d to pursue the same line of conduct in the iron and steel trade that have been exhibited in the European con flict. The graves of concerns destroyed were numerous. Today I n co gratulate you on your success in bringing about a new order of things in business. You have become well acquainted; you have confidence in each other; you recognize the inter ests of your neighbor; you are glad when he prospers and equally sorry when he fails of success. You have a better and clearer understanding of business obligations. You can faith fully represent- your stockholders or the owners of your properties and in dulge in the keenest competition, without doing anything that ia des tructive, and oppressive, or unfair." BURKE COUNTY WOMAN DIES AT AGE OF 101 Hickory, Oct 29. News reached here yesterday of the death in Burke county of Mrs. Fannie Morrison 101 yeara of age., - . COUNTY CAMPAIGN TO CLOSE SATURDAY AT COURTHOUSE STATE SENATORS WARD AND THOMPSON TO SPEAK HERE AT NOON. WINSTON AND BRINSON Veteran Campaigner Still Possess the Fire, Vim and Vocabulary to Please Mr. Brinson'a Address Full of Interesting Facta. The Democratic county candidates today motored into Institute town ship for the last rally in a rural pre cinct of this campaign. A large audi ence of the Institute planters greeted the spellbinders and heard them dis cuss the merits of the National and State tickets and extoll the virtues of the nominees for Jobs hiirher ud and themselves, presented their chil dren for the customary "Why, John, how like you he is" compliments, and sat at table with them. Barbecued pig prepared after the Institute fash ion, and a plenty of it was served the candidates and their hosts. Tomorrow the campaign will end with the "grand rally" in the Court house at noon. The principal sneak ers, it is practically certain, will be Hon. A. D. Ward of New Bern, and Frank Thompson of Jacksonville, the State senatorial candidates. Several of the county nominees also are ex pected to defend the cause. Thi3 meeting is intended to be the biggest event of the campaign locally. A hundred and twenty-five . adher ents of the Democratic cause and a scattering of followers of the other political standards Thursday night in the Courthouse heard Judge Francis D. Winston of Windsor, and S. M. Brinson of New Bern, make two of the principal addresses of the Demo cratic campaign in Lenoir county. Tho audience could not be considered large, but was certainly representa tve, attentive and enthusiastic. Mr. Brinson, superintendent of schools for Craven county and gen erally regarded as one of the leading orators of this section of the State, led off. His personality and deliverv n impressed his hearers from the be ginning, the former imposing and the latter clear, convincing and de void of frills. He possesses the gift of eloquence of the style that Demo crats admire. Mr. Brinson discussed the successes of the Wilson adminis tration in every line, and gave the man whom he unhesitatingly stated that he regards as the greatest of the Presidents, the credit for every piece of remedial legislation born of the present remarkably constructive gov ernment. The tariff, currency and anti-trust enactments which have been bestowed upon the American people by this far-seeing, conscien tious administration, the sneaker said, were more progressive and vol uminous than all the legislation of the preceeding Republican Congresses. Mr. Brinson, when he turned to State affairs and compared the past four teen years with th w MT4rk)d of Republican government, waxed elo quent. With statistics he proved to his hearers that North Carolina schools have only begun to prosper during the decade and four years since the incumbency of Russell. Fourteen years ago there was not a special tax district in the State; now there are 1,660. Rural school librar ies now number 3,000 against nono then. Under ' Russellism there were no high schools except in a few self taxed communities; they now num ber nearly 300. In concluding the speaker declared that for many years to come Democracy would continue to man the ship of state. He painted a vivid word picture of a " great statesman laboring under a tremend ous mental strain for his people's weal, with constant knowledge of the gathering gloom in his own house hold and fear of the Dark Angel that flew on swift wings to rob him of his cherished mate. 1 County Chairman G. V. Cowper in troduced Ex-Lieut-Governor Winston. Judge Winston ia known all over North Carolina, and has spoken in V. (Continued on Page Three) ?!
