sociational missions within their re
spective boundaries, it is pointed out;
made it possible for the Home Missior
Board to complete its $1,000,001
Church Building Loan Fund, extenc
its work among the foreigners, Indian?
and Negroes, administer 134,382 bap

Some other gams in the homeland {

creasing the number of Baptist hos

PECAN TREES
Plant Them Along the Roadway,
Suggests Judge Clark.
I note that the ladies have recom
mended that between Greensboro and
Winston trees shall be planted on
each side of state highways, and that
in one of ou r Eastern towns they
have caused papershell pecan trees to
be planted on each side of the streets.
Will you permit me to repeat a sug
gestion which I made through your
columns many years ago on my re
turn from Europe, which was that on
each side of our public roads, trees
should be planted that will bring in
some proiit and thus aid in* paying
the expenses of the maintenance of
our highways?
I called attention to the fact that
in France and Italy this is almost
universally true. In France the roads
are in three classes: national routes,
departmental routes and commercial
routes, which roughly correspond to
(1) great roads laid out and main
tained by the national government;
(2) state roads; and (3) county
roads. On each side of all these is
a row of trees which- are a striking
feature of the landscape. In France,
these trees are at stated periods cut
down to give room for younger trees
which are growing up alternately.
In Italy the trees, Lombardy pop
lars, are used for the grape vines to
run on. In France the wood i ssold
and goes far for the support of road
maintenance and in Italy a rent is
charged for the use of the trees by
vine growers.
I suggested then as I venture to
! suggest new ,that papershell pecan
trees be planted on each side of
every road in this state and the fruit
be sold for road maintenance. They
would produce a considerable reve
nue. The shade of the trees will
make traveling more comfortable and
the roots would keep the road bed
dry. All three of these advantages
have been the result in other coun
tries, though the trees used have not
been pecan trees.
I respectfully submit this to public
consideration.—Walter Clark, North
Carolina Supreme court, Raleigh, Nr
C.

(Charlotte Observer)
The town of Kings Mountain which
voted itself out of Gaston and into
Cleveland, seems intent on gaining
reputation as the Gastonia of Cleve
land. It has eleven cotton mills,
which gives it a majority of one over
Shelbv and all of Clevelan dCounty.
Kings Mountain is a lively youngster
and though it has considerable dis
tance to cover, it may yet catch up
with Gastonia. That town now claims
45 cotton mills, but in that are in
cluded the assets from Spencer Moun
tain, Ragan and South Gastonia.
These mills, however, are sufficiently j
closely clustered as to bring them!
within proper claim by Greater Gas
tonia. The investment in the 4 5
mills foots up almost $16,000,000.
These mills have an annual payroll
amounting to $4,451,372 and the^
consume 102,697 bales of cotton t
year. Outside of Gastonia and with
in the borders of Gaston County,
there are 59 cotton mills, which easily
make Gaston the Empire textile coun
ty of the Nation.

Man's Best Friend.
Theye has always been more or less
disputation as to whether man's best
I friend is the dog or the horse. There
I is no question whatever about the
horse being man's best servant—his
best slave. But when it comes to
I understanding the human moods and
} tenses and sympathizing with them,
j which is the true test of friendship,
. the dog surely wins out over the
' horse, the cat, the canary bird and all
i the rest of the animal and bird tribes
: which man has tamed and, made a
part of his household* outfit.—Bayti

Horace Knew.
! Little Horace had been allowed the j
privilege of sitting up a little later j
than usual. Finally his mother called
to him to coiira upstairs.
) "Oh, say, sir," begged the boy
"can't I stay up just a little longer?
I want to see you and Mr. Todd
play cards."
{ 'But \ve are not gbing to play
cards tonight, Horace," said Mr
Todd.
"Oh, yes, you are; you can't fool
me," replied the hoy. "1 heard
mother tell sis that everything de
pended on the way she played her
cards tonight."

shying, "The church has been out
stripped by other agencies in serving
mankind and therefore is a failure.
Iijr every walk of life, the crying need
of people is co-operation, so why
shouldn't the churches combine to
give co-operation? What difference
dbes it make how man was created?
