C At the meeting of the officers of the Boards of Trade, and Newspaper men of North Caro Hmrin this City September 12th, an nounced last week, a State Pupicity League will be formed with the "Back Home" movement as its plan of campaign. - r W. D. Roberts, founder of the movement, has written to the Great er1 Charlotte Club that he is con- stanty in receipt of letters from. former citizens of this State who ask altout the price of land here and for literature for themselves and neigh bors. Such inquiries, he Bays, are coming from every; State' West of the Mississippi River and Northwest Canada. ."The Thorn common to hundreds of Letters," says Mr. Rob erts," is a story of loss and bitter disappointment to hundreds of thousands who have sought cheap land on which to make homes." According to Mr. Roberts the Trans-Continental Railroads in the United States are right now ', solicit ing people here in ihe south to em migrate to Canada. The League to be formed here will undertake to place its advertising matter in the hands of homeseekers from all over this country and Northern Europe who have been drummed up" by the Western and Canadian Railroads, doing this through North Carolinians now among them. . , ' Set Tltae WIU Oats Life has its seed time and its har vest, and surely upon the use of the former the quality of the latter will depend. "You often hear it said that a young man must sow his wild oats, but if you were to ask. 'Why?' the fallacy of this statement will be apparent to you," says Ambition. .. If a young man must sow wild oats as a preparation for ausef ul future, then a farmer should sow purs and wire grass in the spring in order : to reap a bountiful crop of wheat in the fall. ' True, some men that be gan by sowing wild oats became successful afterwards; but mark you, they had to dig up the first crop and plant another before they amounted, to anything, which means that they wasted time by starting out wrong and having to retrace , their steps. Besides, these turned-under crop of wild oats have an unpleasant tend ency to come up again .and . cause trouble every little while,' just like plowed-under tares. You that want an easy row to hoe" must be care ful not to let the weeds of idleness get into your field; for once in they will give you plenty of trouble.-. You can see all around you men that are walking warnings. They were gifted by nature with capable brains. Life held in store for them as much as for those' who have, pros pered but they would no put forth the effort to take itv ifiThey wasted hours that should; have ' spent in study; and are paying', the penalty of being poorly equipped for earn ing a living. You find them occu pying low. places in the industrial and mercantile world and complain ing because they work so hard and yet make so little. 7 v t What kind of a harvest, are you preparing for wheat or wire grass. Ex. " " ' . Tae Reason f Lawlessness.. One of the causes for lawlessness (particularly such . as gambling, illegal in liquor and dope, keeping a bawdy house, and;, vagrancy) is because even when a person guilty of such a crime is convicted, the pun ishment is so light or if not guilty person'manages to escape the penal ty. As a rule" for any of those crimes amounts virtually to a license fee o be paid when caught.. Of course there: are a few exceptions when a fine is real punishment, but they are rare, and imprisonment or a sentence on the roads is the only penalty that ends such violations of the law. Discussing this matter editorially, the , Rockingham Post says that law-abiding folks will tire of enforcing the law if big criminals are let off lightly.

The Richmond Time-Dispatch says: We have always said so, and we stick to jt, that North Carolina is one of the richest States in the Union In the pure Americanism of Its people," in the extent and variety of its natural resources, in the beauty and gran deur of its scenery, in its courage in conflict, its devotion in defeat, its power of resurrection. The story of the last United States Census is com ing out, and it shows that North Carolina is well along towards the front of progress. The value of the farming lands in that State in the last decade has increased from $194,- 656,000 in 1900 to $455,715,000 n 1910, or 154 per cent The average value of land increased from $6.24 the acre in, 1900 to $15,29 in 1910. Increase in the use of commercial fertilizers amounted to 173 per cent, with the result that during the last two seasons North Carolina has pro duced more cotton to the acre than any other State, surpassing even the great big blustering State of Texas by 94 pounds of lint cotton-to the acre. It is suggested that as the cotton production is falling off in Texas, there is a great opportunity for the larger cultivation of the sta ple in the more northern of the Southern States, and that there is the opportunity for a largely in creased cotton average in North Carolina. Not only is Old North State doing wonderful things with cotton but. it is also making a great deal of corn and oats, and . could suppiy every man, woman and child in its borders with a loaf of wheated bread every day in the year, .and three times a day, if any proper care should be given to the cultivation of wheat Last year she produced 50,000,000 bushels of corn and about 10,000,000 bushels of wheat and oats. Where so much grain is" frown, naturally there has been a most encouraging increase in the growing of cattle for the market and a great develop ment of the dairying industry. -With abundant pastures in every valley and on every hilltop, there is practi cually no limit that can be placed on the development of this industry. , Great as it is in agriculture North Carolina is even greater in its manu facturing industries, the capital in vested in there industries aggrega ting, according to the latest figures we have at hand, $141,000,639, and to the 85,329 wage-earners is paid out annually $21,375,295. The value of the products of these establishments amounts to $142,520,776.' This is on ly touching the State in the high places. There are riches contained in its soil and mines and forests and 1 rivers that have not been dreamed of even by the most progressive and active of its people. ; "A, Valley of Humility,'.' indeed! A great Com monwealth rather that is an honor to the country of which it is a part. and our nearest neighbor. , ; Treatment ef Jarors. . V There are gratifying indications that courts are beginning to recog nize the absurdity of some ideas that custom has grafted on our jury system. For instance, there is that ridiculous assumption that a jury must be kept together and absolute ly secluded in order that a criminal may obtain a fair trial. Rigid en forcement of this rule during pro tracted trials has resulted, in such hardships that it is becoming almost impossible to obtain competent juries in the more important cases. Recent ly many intelligent judges have taken the responsibility of ordering the .rule relaxed in order that jurors might be treated with ordinary humanity. If the interests of. jus-' U,ice have suffered by reason of their action, the fact has not been appar ent.' This policy now has been indorsed by the Supreme Court of the United Stated, which has declar ed that is it not reversible error in a criminal trial to permit, the jurors to separate from each other and to read newspapers. Application of a little common sense ought to make it possible for intelligent citizens to serve, on juries without being treated as convicts, Oxford Banner Every time we read of an Ameri can heiress having trouble with the titled husband she married, we man age to refrain from shedding any tears of en : thy. , POSTAL EMPLOYES PROMOTED. - j i ! Increases la Salary Tstal Yearly Ag gregate af $1,000,000. Washington, D. C Postmaster General Hitchcock has ordered pro motions for postoffice clerks and city letter carriers carrying increases in salaries approximating $2,000,000 a year. Orders were also issued for promotions, in the railway mail ser vice which will total $175,000 a year. These increases are In addition to the increases for rural mail carriers, to taling $4,000,000 a year, which be came effective July 1st. , The four great groups of postal employes hav received increases in pay aggregating $6,000,000 during the current fiscal year. . Postmaster General Hitchcock says the increases will be more than offset by increased efficiency of the employes, and he be lieves the advances are warranted by the fact that the postoffice Is now practically on a self -sustaining baisis.

The biggest thing that 'has hap pened in North Carolina is this cen tury is the fact that every one of the working days that the sun has gone down during the past ten years its rays have fallen on a new school house. ,, This fact is not only the most far-reaching because the prog ress and development, of the State along every line has been helped by the erection , of these new school houses. , m :. The new Educational' Revival in North Carolina may be said to have been commenced ; with' the year I9U0 the year ' when the suffrage amendment was adopted requiring qualification. In an address at-the Southern Educational Conference in Winston-Salem in : 1901, Governor Aycock said:. ' 1 'i i, "The difficulty which I find most in the way of education in this State is the want of school houses in the country districts. The towns and the cities are caring, for themselves they are able to do to so. . There we have larger population, and by concentration of population we can pursue, education more cheaply; there we have greater wealth. But in the sparsely settled districts of the country we have not the school houses, and until we have them we shall not have much probability of education in this State. If I had the power and the wealth to put a public school house in every district in North Carolina, I would enter into a guarantee that no child, white or black, in ten years from now should reach the age of twelve without be ing able to read and write. But unless we solve that- problem we shall have children who do not go to school.' .That is the poblem which we must solve. ' tern has the State met that great need pointed out Governor Aycock? By building a new public school house overy day in every year since Opportunity often knocks just when the man called ia com; lining so louJly he couldrit hear in thun der. - Kltcala graves aa AUkl.- We have read with grsat Interest the reply of Governor Kltchin to his critics who have sprung . certain charges to head off his aspirations for a seat In the United States Sen ate. The Governor in a clear and exceedingly dispassionate way proves an alibi so far as the charge is made that he did nothing to secure effect ive anti-trust legislation at the hands of the General Assembly. By quot ing from his messages and speeches he shows clearly where he stood, and that he failed to throttle the Gener al Assembly and compel it to bend to his wishes is no fault of his. His reply leaves the responsibility oa the State Senate .which consistently fought shy of "an anti-trust bill with teeth." As to the charge that he failed to scalp trusts with the present law, that might be explained by the posi tion taked by his critics that the law is a "pink tea" affair. f 1 It it really is an article of that na ture the Governor could not be ex pected to make it do what the fam ous Sherman National act has not done and never will do. If it is true that the State act is weak and inef fective no one 'could hardly expect the Governor to "make bricks with out straw.1' If the law is ineffective the blame again reverts to the Gener al Assembly. , , V, v;. So far as we are concerned, we never expected either Teddy or the Governor to burst trust in the same proportion that they talked and so we are not disposed to hold the Gov ernor responsible for what Teddy the Terrible and Taft the Tactful, have failed to do effectively with all the Nation at their backs. . : Finally, for party expedience, we don't see the good of burdening eith er the Governor of the General As sembly with responsibility 'for 'the failure of trust basting., It places upon the Democratic party ia' the State the onus of defending either its Governor or its Legislature from at attack' within, ' When the attack begins from with out, the real defenders of the Demo cratic party will have to do the best they can to explain away the actions of the patriots who rock the boat for whatever there is in it In spite of the fact that a great deal of noise will be made about the qualifications of the candidates for the Senate, we see nothing in the ca reers of either Kitchin.

Wil mington Star, ' 1 k 7 Is le TheMegrs. - Some how or other we have always had a warm spot for the negro that is the good negro, the negro who at tends to his own business and tries to make a a decent living and respects himself and the white people among whom he lives. We dislike the ''up pity" negro just as we disliked the vain, pompous and conceited white man. - W,e want to see all our people prosper along industrial and intel lectual lines. As a matter of fact, our first concern is the white people, but we believe that if the negro prospers it will be an incentive to stir the white man to greater efforts. We have no patience with the idea of social equality. ' ; There are lota of white people' whom you do not asssociate with, not becase they are not as, wealthy as you may be, or becausethey may not be as well educated as you may be, but because they have not enough respect for themselves to make you respect them. No self-respecting white person will associate on terms of equality with a colored person, and no self-respecting colored per son would for a moment think of at tempting to associate on terms of equality with a white person, espec ially for we people of the South, that must be adhered to, and yet there is nothing about that line which keeps the white man from helping the negro and wLhes him well.

Few persons realize that artificial drink fail to meet the daily wants of the system. A very large number are actually falling behind in health for the lack of pure drinking water to cool and refresh the over-heated blood. Wa ter is frequently repudiated by men and women who seem wholly un mindful that it has advantages for them beyond price. . More than three fourths of the contents of the body is water, nine. tenths of the brain and nervous sys tem is water, likewise the blood and other fluids. The daily supply of water required by the average size man or woman varies according to age, work and climate. There are no known counter-Indi cations to the use of water as a drink. The quantity may be what ever the stomache and intestines are able to absorb. It is safe to say that pure water may be drunk at any hour and with hardly any limit ation save such as might be plain to any one.

The DoyleetoWn (Pa.), intelligen cer comments on the suspension of the publication' of the Macungie (Pa.), Progress, insisting that the competition of metropolitan papers ought never be enough to put a lo cal newspaper . out of business. - It says, among other things: "The great newspapers are impersonal, they deal with the world at large, although catering in a degree to the city in which they are published. They do not publish any extended news of the country districts, except there be i something sensational in the news, and then they send their special correspondents who secure a few facts upon which they generally fabricate a story 'those who know the situation scarcely recognize. The metropolitan newspapers are not interested in the country or rural towns only so far as they produce some striking news story. "The country newspaper holds a different position. The publishers are a part of the community which they serve. They are interested in everything that takes place in town or county. They are directly or in-i directly interested in every resident of the community, most of whom are readers of their paper. The are financially' interested in the doings of the town and county authorities and are deeply concerned in the development ; of the community. They are continually bringing to the front the advantages of the town for industrial and residential loca tion; their praise is inistent in season and out of ; season,: and their criti cism is given in good faith for the good of the community, not knock- ing. Their every effort is to build up, not to destroy.; Does 'the met ropolitan newspaper do as much for the community? "There is an intimate connection between the local newspaper and the people that Is impossible with the metropolitan newspaper.
