London. Nov. lli (By the Asstwinted

ed at the •foreign oflfer by order of his
government, to inform M. Depretti de la
Korea, director of political affairs, ex
actly wlmt had been done in regard to
the former Crown Prince.
Frederick William, Dr. von Hoesclt
said, had repeatedly applied for permis
sion to return to Germany, nnd in Oc
tober the cabinet which then included
socialists, saw, no reason to refuse his
request, in view of the fact that he had
renounced all rights to the crown. The
French director asked when and how lie
had renounced these, but the German
charge could not remember. He added,
however, under the circumstances, Freder
ick William, so far as the German au
thorities were concerned, was an ordinary
citizen. lie had undertaken to remain
nt Dels, said Dr. von Hoeseh. and partici
pate in no way in politics. Recent events
in Baravia had nothing to do with his re
turn. He had already received a passport
and had made ull arrnngepients to leave
Holland before the Munich accident.... II
was merely ou "nuforiuKate coincidence,''

As*to the former German emperor, Dr.

urge every citizen in our county to be

in our own land lust year. And when
the great earthquake made hundreds of
thousands homeless in Japan, and they
were suffering and starving the Red
Cross came to the rescue with $10,400,000
in a remarkably short time. On one ves
sel alone more than 400.000 feet of lum
ber was sent to build temporary homes
for the sufferers.
The canvassers will see you Friday
and Saturday of next week. Have your
dollar ready. Get your Red Cross bur
ton and wear it. Put a Red Cross in
your window. Let the people know that
your heart and pocketbook are both- ill
this most worthy cause.

NORTH CAROLINA NEEDS *
GREATER PUBLICITY
Editcr Shackell Says-the Real Purposeful
Publicity Has Not Yet Been Attempt
ed.
(By the Associated Press.)
Edenton, N. . C., Nov. 16. —“While
freight rates oppose us and our water
ways are undeveloped, which would make
for a greater state, the real need of
North Carolina is greater publicity.” an
swered R. G. Shackell. editor of the
Edenton News, when asked what he
thought were North Carolina's greatest
needs.
Air. Shackell continued :
"This statement may be objected to by
our neighbors to the North, since they
say we have had our alia re and more
through nation-wide reference to good
roads development, and while this may be
assented to. the real purposeful publicity,
the kind which garners the aspiying ten
ant and landowner, lias not yet been at
tempted.
"But that will cost a lot of money, is
tlie immediate cry we hear, and to this
agaiu we agree, but oaks are not grown
without a seed, nor is enlarged business
ijttqinfd vyitkopt , effort and .expenditure.
The trutD is our own people must first
be aroused to the knowledge that nothing
worth while is obtained until an expen
diture of money or services is first con
tributed.
"North Carolina lias in tier broad and
productive acres all that California can
boast—and at that she boasts plerfteous
ly, but California made her people real
ize the one essential of first giving and
then receiving, so we should not begrudge
her the popularity she has attained for
she has spent lavishly and is now gar
nering a right prolific crop therefrom,
“When we watch tlie thousands of dor
mant acres in eastern Carolina that will
produce everything the heart can desire;
the garden jqiots that could be convert
ed into country homes for the affluent;
the waterways that could be used for
pleasure as we! as commerce, all for want
of people to occupy them, we wonder
wherein the people can be so thoughtless
to dwindle their valuable days and years
at the whim, of city excitement, when
hollies, tlie foundation of every nation,
could be established and a comfort at
tained with hut a fraction of Hie wear
Slid tear produced on the human frame by
the incessant din and Hurry of city fife.
"Going westward in the Old North
State one is struck with the wonder of
production* for the benefit of mankind.
We know we are great in textile output,
in tobacco, in minerals and in lumber,
but does much of tlie outside world, even
our other states, know this, nor will
I they Until we awake from our lethargy
and show* them that North Carolina has
the wherewith to become tlie greatest iu
the union in more respects than a few.
"Were it possible, a state tax should
be placed upon every manufacture, and
other production, for the purpose of ad
vertising North Carolina to the world.
With the present volume of business
done in the state a very small tax would
raise a large amount of money to be
utilized by a commission of the biggest
publicists in the country by which means
the state would not only take her right
ful place among states, but the return ill
business exparipion would he immediate.
“The greatest need for North Caroli
na today is more and systematic public
ity on the largest scale possible.”
