LENOIR VISITORS
Last weelf Lenoir was host to the
B. & L. League of North Carolina.
About fifty men, representatives of
the most progressive element of the
State, spent a few days' outing here,
and were given a trip to Blowing
Bock. These men were thoroughly
delighted by the hospitality shown by
Lenoir citizens, and many expres
sions of gratitude were heard among
the visitors. The trip to Blowing
Bock carried them over new ground,
they said. Some of them said they
had discovered a new part of North
Carolina, and a part more wonderful
than anything they had ever seen.
The impression made by Lenoir on
the members of the B. & L. League
is of untold value to the town and to
this mountain country. These men
came from every section of the State
and they took back a message of our
resources, advantages and attrac
tions. Many of them are coming
again, and their friends will come.

BIG CITIES
Judging by the interest manifest
ed in the census figures, the cities
that are too big already seem just
as anxious to grow as any others.
It is perfectly natural for a town
or small city to wish to grow. As it
advances it can supply its people
with more of the advantages of liv
ing and do business on a higher scale
of proserity. But when it reaches a
certain point of size every gain it
makes is offset by losses. The city
of 300,000 people has very few more
of the advantages and facilities of
living when it reaches the 500,000
mark. If it gains anything its pop
ulation so spreads out that it is far
ther removed from the beauties of
country life. It takes more time to
get around. The population is apt
to change in an undesirable way,
and elements of political corruption
often come in to the injury of public
ervices and civic spirit.
Yet some persons always think
that a certain credit attaches to resi
dence in a big city. It used to be
customary among many people who
lived in small towns within an hour or
two of some city to register at hotels
as from New York or Chicago or
whatever city it was. They were
ashamed to have it known that they
came from a'small suburban town.
This point of view has largely
passed away. People judge towns
more by quality and less by quan
tity. If you hail from a good place
like Lenoir people do not stop to
ask how big it is, but they want to
know what interesting things (t has
done. Metropolitan conditions iron
out humanity into a flat and uninter
esting identity. Conditions in a
place of normal size give people's in
dividualities and enterprises more
chance to develop.
STORM CAUSES DAMAGE IN 4
COUNTIES OF $4,000,000
Reports of damage from the hail
storm of last Thursday indicate that
the damage in Wayne and Pitt coun
ties and a small section of Greene
would probably equal that in Lenoir,
making a total for the four counties
of not less than $4,000,000. It was
the most disastrous storm that part
of the State has ever seen, crops
Bearing maturity on thousands of
acres in the most progressive, sections
of the four counties being cleared of
every stalk. ' On a single plantation
more than 700 acres of well devel
oped tobacco and corn were obliterated.
HAILSTONES 18 INCHES ROUND
ARE REPORTED
Hailstones' as large as apples
crashed through roofs at Hills, Wyo.,
one nieht lastt week and reduced two
farm buildings near there to kindling
wood, says a dispatch from Chey
enne. ,No casualties were reported.
Some of the. hailstones were said to
have been 18 inches in circumfer
ence. ' Motorists caught in the storm
crawled beneath their machines, the
tops affording no protection, the re
ports said. - .,
