The Week
? _ >
(BY DAN TOMPKINS)
Armistice Day brought renewed
thought throughout the wlftle conn
ry of making the peace that was at
tained eleven years ago a permanent
Peace; and the Pet of Paris, the Bi
lateral Treaties, Mr. Ramesy MeDon
ad's disarmament journey to see Mr.
Hoover^ and other efforts, were given
much talk., It is well, on Armistice
Day and every day, for the peoples
of the world to work, talk, and act
for world peaee. War is a terrible, a
ghastly thing, that should be outlaw
ed ?om our civilization. In, all this
we should not forget thq deeds and
preachments of the great, modern
Apostle of Peace, Woodrow Wilson,
who was a casualty of the Great War
for the perpetuation of civilization,
and a martyr to the cause of world
peace and brotherhood among men.
Nor should we forget the League of
Nations which he set up, with the con
sent of the powers, to maintain the
righteous peace, so dearly won,
throughout the whole world, . and
which our own country, in a petulent
and reactionary mood, refused to ac
knowledge. That is the most powerful
force in the world* working in the in
terest of peace, and is the best and
most practical means yet devised to
assume permanent peace, while
await the working of the leaven of
love in the hearts of men that will
bring in the Kingdom of the Prince
of Peace, whose only law is the Gold
en Rule. Eventually America will rat
ify the Treaty of Versailles, and be
come a member of the family of the
League of Nations, maintaining by
praetical means the world peaee. Why
not now, before it is too late, and we
find ourselves friendless and involved
in useless war with other nations?
President Hoover, in his Armistice
Day address, urged preparedness as
a peaee aarm Words, Mr.
President, the' beat way to keep down
trouble in the neighborhood is for
every man to tote a pistol in his pock
ett Is this prcachment of the Quaker
president in keeping with the teach
ings of the Nazarine? And yet, there
is nothing new in the attitude of Mr.
Hoover. His theory of how to pre
vent war is as old as the hills, and
older than organized government. Mr.
Wilson's idea of a League of Nations
to assure the peace of the world, and
to which Mr. Hoover only a few
short years ago, was a most ardfent
subscriber, is something new and
practical. Mr Hoover's theory has
failed, utterly, every time it has been
tried, either by individuals or by gov
ernments. The way to peace is for
the nations to bind themselves togeth
er in peace, to scrap the armaments,
throw the habiliments of war into
the junk heap, and follow peaceful
pursuits.
And now, Judge Cowper, holding
a special term of court in Marion, is
trying 120 people charged with rebel
lion against the government of, the
State of North Carolina. The sooner
people are brought to believe that
the. law is the friend of every citi
zen, the rich and' the poor, the hum
ble and the mighty, and is the un
compromising foe of the perpetrator
of injustice, no matter what his sta
tion in life, the citizenship and con
ditions will beocme as they should be
in a democratic country;' and not be
fore.
The Baptist State Convention, is
in session in Shelby ; , and the open
ing sermon was a plea for more*
spirituality in the chuiehes.
The Ponce De Leon special, one of
The Southern 's crack passengei
trains, was wrecked, near ' Oakdale,
Tenn., Sunday night. Six people were
killed an^ a large number injured.
Time was when a railroad crash was
a common thing. Now a mishap to a
train is rare. The raiiroad people
have reduoed accidents to a -minimum
Airplanes and automobiles are the
death-dealing devices, these days.
What has been accomplished by the
railroads can also be done in other
fields of transportation, if the safety
of human life and limb are given the
amount of consideration, by manu
facturers, mechanics, pilots and chauf
feurs, that is their due.

03R COPPER RICHEST IK U. S.
North Carolina, a newcomer in the
field as a large producer of copper,
is mining the richest average ore of
any state in the union, according to
a comparison made by State Geolo
gist H. J. Bryson, from a recently is
sued report from the United States ?
Bureau of Mines.
This report shows that ores mined
in North Carolina were averaging
7.09 per cent copper, or nearly doub
le the per cent of the metal taken
in Colorado, second highest state re
garding percentages of yield from ore
bodies. Colorado ores averaged 3.57
yer cent copper.
Average copper ores that were min
ed in Montana, according to the re
port, were third richest among the
state averages with 3.36. North Caro
lina ores were more than four times
as rich in percentages of the metal
as those of Arizona, the leading cop-' '
per producing state, and more than
eight times as rich as those of Utah/
the second highest producer. Alaskan
ores came nearest to those of North
Carolina in richness, yielding an av
erage of 4.20 per cent.
The Tar Heel State was the elev
enth in volume of production of cop
per and was second to Tennessee as
a copper producer in states east of
the Mississippi river.
Mr. Bryson said that the richness
of North Carolina copper ores and
the large increase in quantity of pro
duction have led some of the laigest
mining companies of the country* to
send geologists and engineer j&to
?the State to investigate. Among these
are the American Smelting and Re
fining" Company, the?. U. S. Smelting
Mining and refining Company, and .
the Anaconda Copper . Company. The ?
Tennessee Copper Com pay, he said,
has recently taken over the Cullowhee
mine in Jackson county and has a -
I force of miners at work in the shaft
I
still a few of the smaller speculat
ors who have been able to hold on
with Iheir teeth. These must be shak
en loose and they relieved of the rest
of their cash. The big* fish must finish
swallowing the entire school of ths -
little ones. It would never do to leave
any money in the pockets of the com
mon herd.
