OUR PEOPLE SCATTERED
S. IT. Hobbs, writing in The University
News Letter, gives some interesting facts
relative to the exjtortatiou of native-born
North Carolina. The facts as given by
Mr. Hoblbs convince Then Charlotte News
that "North Ua'rolihjij is a population-cg.
Porting State.” and ‘‘that anywhere you
go throughout the United States, you
can find a Tar Heel.”
In making his statistics public Mr.
Hobbs says “the traveler is very much
impressed as he, here aud there, en
counters men and women who, although
born in North Carolina, have cast their
lot elsewhere.”
According to Mr. Hobbs* figures, the
peoidc born in North Carolina, but now
living in other States, number 443.844
Bnd they range all the way from seventy
five in. 1 ermont to 113,141 in Virginia.
Even in far-away California there are
5.14- native Tar Heels. In Washington
there are 5,721). in Arkansas 11.128. in
Texas. 14,1)66. in New York. 17.803. in
Pennsylvania. 20.877. in Missouri 5.476,
in West Virginia 13,636, in Florida 17.-
358, in Tennessee 27.744. in South Car
olina 50.040, and in Virginia 113.151. or
so in 1020.
North Carolina has suffered a net loss
of population to all the states of the Un
ion except five, and the net gain from
four of these is insufficient. South Car
olina is the only state that has suffered
a net loss to North Carolina. In 1020
there were living in South Carolina 50.-
040 people born in North Carolina, while
we had within our borders 62,323 people
Corn in South Carolina, a net gain in
our favor of 12,283, Our net loss to
Virginia was the largest, amounting to
75,018 people. In 11)20 North Carolina
was the adopted homes of 37,233 people
ofof Virginia birth, while Virginia had
113.151 inhabitants born in this state.
In 1020 there were living in other
states but born in North Carolina near
ly a half million iieople, 443,844 to be
exact. If all the people born in North
Carolina had remained at home we, would
■have had a population of slightly more
than three milliou, instead of 2.550.123
as reported by the census. At that time
there were living in this state 157.006
people born in other states. Thus our
net loss to other states was 285.848 peo
ple and only six s’tates have sustained a
greater net loss, four of these being
southern states. Our net loss consisted
of 172.201 native white, and 113.716 na
tive negroes. We had a slight net gain
of other classes. The census shows that
relatively the negroes are more migratory
than the whites.
THE CHANCE IS HERE.
The Career of Charles P. Steinmetz fur
bishes a striking example of what can
be accomplished in this country by a per
son with ambition and love for work. The
electrical wizard came to the United
States as a youth without reputation or
wealth. In addition to being a foreigner
aud unable to speak the English lan
guage, he was deformed in body and car
ried that deformity through life. But in
spite of these handicaps he rose to the
high’ position of consulting engineer of
the General Electric Company, and at
the time of his death was generally rec
ognized as one of the geainsee of the
preseut age.
Such a career is possible only in a
land of democracy. There are “reds”
and socialists and others of that kind
who would have us believe that only the
man with money asd a pall hoe s chatter •
here. That is not true. Bteinmetz hid*
nothing when be landed i% the United
States but a few dollars awl a passion
for success. That he wanted to be re
membered as a man wbo did things for
th» world wtjwr tbao as a IWU of
araaltb ia easily seas in to* life- Bis
®lary with the General Electric Com
pany was a handsome one and he could
have secured enormous sums for arti
cles and books if be had chosen to'pre
pare and sell them. Bnt he didn’t. Mon
ey twis not a great power to him and 1
it is estimated that he left 1 but $25,000.
Here was a man who used money as it
should be used—a power for doing good.,
His cash he spent in experiments that"
the world might be benefitted.
Steiumetz might have secured a tin cup
and spent his days on the side of the
road begging. His body was deformed as
badly as the average beggar. But he
had a vision, and that vision led him on
to a place among the greatest electrical
experts in history.
There is a wonderful lesson in the life
of this mm, the strongest (mint of which
is this—that the United States offers a
wonderful chance to every man who real
ly wants to go ahead.
INVENTOR OF THE POWER LOOM
Tuesday tooth Anniversary of Death of
Edmund Cart right.
London. Oet. 2!).—Tomorrow will be!
the one hundredth anniversary of the!
death of Edmund Cartwright, who in-,
ventions revolutionized the 1 textile’
manufacturing industries, and arrange-i
meats have been made in t-he great Eng
lish textile centres to mark the cen
tenary with fitting tribute to the
memory of the man who gave to the
world the power loom ami the wool
combiu machine. *
Born in 1743, Edmund Cartwright
was educated at Oxford and entered the
ministry. X ntil he had passed 40 years
of age ha obtained his living front the
English church, devoting his leisure to
literature.
He never had seen a loom; knew
nothing of clothing making nor of
mechanics. There was nothing in his
life that gave the slightest evidence of
a latent talent that would some day he
awakened and give to the world an in
vention that would prove a boon to
mankind and revolutionize a leading in
dustry.
A versifier from an early age. he
published an anonymous volume of
poems which went rapidly through sev
eral editions. Later on. during the
struggle of the American colonies for
independence, he published anonymous
ly, "The Prince of Peace." in which he
critized England and deplored the con
test then being waged with America.
-He took occasion in 1784 to make a
holidajt vbdtjAp Mattock, which brought
him near the Arkwright- spinning mills. ,
In a casual |e; suggested j
the desirability of .having a weaving ,
mill in connection With - the spinning ;
mills. From this conversation sprang ,
the power loom, for soon after his re- i
turn home Cartwright constructed one i
without having ever seen the working of
an ordinary hand loom. It was a crude ,
affair, of course, but he gradually im- f
proved it. Its introduction was bitterly 1
ot>l*o**d by the weavers, and he could <
not enlist the manufacturers because I
they feared to antagonize their help, t
Cartwright was thus forced to build a i:
mill of his own. which he operated for o
some time, but which was finally de- t
stfoyed by an incendiary. (j
The power loom was followed by an t
even more remarkable invention, for his i
wool combing machine was more 1
original and lierformed the work of at v
least 20 men. So great was the opposi- e
tion to his inventions that he expended
$150,000 in the vain effort to introduce -
and to operate them, and then, sur- :
rendering his patents to his creditors,
he abandoned the field after recording
his feelings in "an ode or sonnet. |
He next came to London and here in
vented a steam engine in which alcohol
was to be substituted for water. This J
brought about an intimacy with Robert 1
Fulton and he became one of the arbi- r
trators to decide the amount to paid to a
Fulton by the English government for ;
the suppression of a secret for blowing f
tip ships by submarine navigation.
Although the loom and the combing a
inventions finally came to be used ex- f
teusively, Cartwright was the loser by a
his patents, and after launching several s
more inventions upon the world lie was p
in such straitened circumstances that a t
few of his friends petitioned parliament t
for his relief and that body granted him o
$50,000. which enabled him to enjoy his
declining years aud devote himself to -
literature and invention.

CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES GOVERN
IN SOUTHERN INDUSTRY
* Manufacturers Record.
At tbe Southern Industrial Conference
at Blue Ridge, N. C., Charles R. Tow
s son. of peering, Milliken & Co., one of
~ the leading business men of New York
City,, illustrated the application of Christ
i tiau principles in everyday business left,
■ in an address on "Human Relationships!
in industry." He contrasted the "cave
man ’ and the Christian theories of in
dustrial relations. In pointing out what
the South has accomplished, he said in
part:
"I urge that the first great basic need
iu industrial relations js a right attitude
towards the workers in general, based
upon the Christian rather than the cave
man idea. And. of course, the same is
true concerning the attitude of employees
toward employers. • Bone and sinew may
have come by evolution from below, but
spirit has come by revelation from above.
“Some will laugh and say that so
called Christian theory is impracticable.
That it is useless to theorize in face of
bard facts, and the hard faets is that
every man is looking after Number One,
‘he works only when he must,’ ’he wants
ns much as he can get for as little as
he can give,’ the only thing to do is to
pay the prevailing Wage, and let it go at
that."
T believe that the cave man theory is
wrong aud the Christian theory i« right;
that to the extent that industry is on the
cave man bnsas, it has got to change re
gardless of cost; that this change is now
going on : and that the change pays both
"in profits and in the -pleasure of doing
business.
“It is easy to urge this viewpoint in
the southern field where in many of
your industries the board minded policies
of operators have already manifested the
Christian rather than the cave man phi
losophy. Some of you in this section
have gone very far in showing for ex
ample that there is much more involved
:n industrial relationship than wages,
hours and conditions. It is a platitude
to say to many of you that the biggest
thing in industry is no longer macbiflery
or material, but men.
"It is a cheering prospect to scan the
horizon of industrial relations today.
'Prue, what we see may be imperfect
plans and the divergent practices, but cer
tainly they herald the coming of a new
industrial day. Consciously or uncon
sciously, ideals have been incorporated
into methods, good factory eonstruetiuo.
good running work, better wage scales. 1
creature comforts, housing, health, edit- j
cation, religion, profit sharing, thrift,
stock percentage, regular employment. \
insm-ano.e against sickness, accidents and
old pge. - These are among the hopeful 1
signs of the times. The history is mark- 1
ed by the contrast of the two points of '
view in respect to all of these and other (
matters. 1
"Take for example, the matter of plant
construction, housing of employees and
community betterment. lam ready to
believe that I iwi pioneering has bccu
(hme in the South by men who in tin
last analysis were moved by considera
tion for the workers and the desire to
meet their needs. They were followed,
of course, by many who gave little
thought to first principles, but who un
derstood the value of a good plan, when
they saw it in operation: today, good
business requires many of tbe improved
living, workii# and leisure conditions

(THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
j to these pioneers, who free from the cave
? man motives set this example in the spir
- it of good will so that today America
f has the best industrial conditions of any
; nation on earth. This is not due to the
\ evolution of the cave man, but to that
; equally scientific thing we call the spirit
{ of Christianity.
! “In no department of human industry
- has Southern industry shown more prog
' ress than in education. The growth of
schools in the industrial centers is not
the result of selfish (investment, but of
broad visioned Christian statesmanship.
Unfortunately it has not been universal.
To prove progress, we have only to study
the results achieved by spme of the states
during the last decade, for example North
Carolina. One aspect of education that
I must mention was illustrated in a re
cent visit to a cotton mill in Georgia
and South Carolina. 1 found the pub
lic school teachers giving recognition, and j
credit for Sunday school attendance, and
the Bible was being nsed not only as a
literature, but in training for life. In
one place four hundred young voices in
unison recited whole sections of the Old ■
Testament. In another school five hun
dred children told the story of Bible
characters in scriptural language from
memory. _ ]
"This may not be practicable, iu every
idace, but I predict that those so trained
will give less trouble to society either
breaking statute laws or by sabotage in
industry. ! That is why the Bolshevik of
Russia wants to do away with religion.
Listen to this quotation from Prayada.
an affic’.al organ of the Russian Soviet
government: ‘We must carry on our agi
tation against religion just as systemat
ically as xve do in political questions.
Although we have declared war on the
denizens of heaven, it is by no means
easy to sweep them from the households
of the workmen.’
""Hie outstanding symptoms of progress
in human relations in industry today is
not only tile better conditions, protective
plans, educational and moral progress,
hut the new recognition of the employe’s
*>lace aud part in industry. All of tliese
are, I believe, the result of the Chris
tian rather than the cave man attitude,
for they reveal a mutual co-operative
spirit."
Long lias the South been a leader'in
I religious matters. Its people have been
taught that Christian principles should
govern the lives of men at all times and
in their every act. That this teaching
has fallen on fertile soil is atteste-d bv
the Christian spirit which prevails so
largely in business and industry through
out the South. There is no atheistic,
agnostic foreign element dominant in any
part of the South, acting like a cancer
ous growth on the body of society aud
eating at the very vitals of our Chris
tian civilization.
As is found in the mass of its eitizon-
Sibip. most of the South's leaders in busi
ness, industry and finance believe in
mixings their religion and business; they
apply their Christianity to the everyday
practical things of life where it is in- i
tended anil not to be thrown on aud off
to suit selfish convenience. People liv
ing outs-.de of the Sk>i:th, on their first
visit to this section, are struck with the
fact that almost invariably meetings of
a semi-business, business or public char
acter are opened with a prayer, by min
ister or layman, for divine counsel aud
leadership in the proceedings.
