John 1:3. x v THE EDITORS AND NOrYiI CARO LINA. Piuehurst, .Tan. 4.—Shop talks played .a conspicuous part in the program of 'the. mid-winter meeting of the North Car olina Pjess Association which came to a close i|pre this afternoon, but a greater North ahd their part iu the future development of the State claimed the greater part of the attention of the Fourth Estate members from Tar Ileeliu while, in session at this resort —a place generally considered a haven for Yan kees. ‘but planned by its leader, Leonard Tufts, as a haven for North Carolinians as well. • So intense and marked was the desire of the editors to continue their efforts in behalf of the State that every shop talk was so planned and sic live red that it formed a basis for great publicity for North Carolina. Interwoven with dis cussions of ethics, advertising rates, an association’s foreign- advertisement rep resentative in the State and other top ics were suggestions and hints whereby the accomplishments of the State' might be better broadcasted to the world. And the dominant mote in this public ity talk was not “undeveloped resources'’ and “generalities,” but rather “accomp lishments.’’ Mr. Tafts, who welcomed the editors to Piuehftrst and The Caro lina Hotel, sounded the first note iu the warning that we should pay more atten ttion to the things we have done than to things that can be done. Oth n r speakers caught the vision and added a’iproral lo the suggestion: made by Mr. Tales. “Nobody is interested in- talk about un developed Besorrces.” said Mr ’Tufts. “They are interested in action. They want to know what we have doin'. Wo cannot interest the rest of the world by our undeveloped resources. The people and the press wan; to hear about achieve ment, not dormant possibilities. People will not come *»err rnd invest their no n ey iu these things we call ‘undeveloped resources.' They want to kuo,v why we have not invested our money in them if they are so promising.” Ms. Tufts expressed the opinion ilrat North Carolina has grown because ..the pcoeple of the State have shown their faith by their work. They have enler : prised and -carried on Industrial projects and they have shown the res: of the world results. "That's what counts.” Mr. Tufts said. "People arc interested in North Carolina because people here have already achieved. Now we should ex pend time and money allowing what has been and is being done." Our lwsition as an industrial State, as n tobacco glow ing and manufacturing State, as a State of godd schools, good roads and vision, give u» cuough topics Os boosting without talking possibilities, Mr. Tufts thinks. • * • Birrti H. Butler, one of the pioneers ih the development of the Sandhills section, and introduced by Mr. Tafts as the mun who has done more than any other to make North Carolina known, spoke briefly hut eloquently and his address abounded With facts that give confidence in continuing Nortli Carolina’s progress. Home Os bis facts included a statement that “if there ih no killing frost, these will be shipped this year from the Sand lulls orchards 3,QtX> cars of peaches for which tl»e growers will expect to receive three lniMioh dollars.’’ And, he added. “These are the best peaches grown in the world—‘bar none.” The picture Mr. Butler draw of the wonderful develop ment of the Sandhill country was an ob ject ldsson of what like effort can bring about to ditenent way* toother parts of NorUa.Care»kfc - “got* of the land i* the Sandhills was soW for *LOO an aere and today i* worth obe thousand dollars an acre," Mir. Butlefi stated. '’James W. See forty years ago Was 4 prominent consulting en gineer a ltd manufacturer of Ohio. He told todie of us that when a young fel- low working in the shop he bad been sent oat to the country to fix np an old saw-' mill. It was far out and he. was delayed in getting there. When he arrived he found that a darky bad fitted up a piece of broken grate 'bar and bored out the engine cylinder with it, and started the mill to running. Mr. See said he found that any fool can work with tools, but that it takes a mighty smart nigger to work without them. “Leonard Tufts is an example of work ing with what thirty years ago everybody who knew this part of North Carolina regarded as no tools. Tufts and a lot of others have bored out the engine with a piece of grate bar. Any fool can do somethiug with some sections of this State that have tools to work with. In doing his work Mr. Tufts has been doing what Henry Page suggested to our Sand hill Board of Trade when it was formed a •few years ago. and commenced to tell of the advantages we found we possessed. ' Mr. Page said to do something to show folks that we really had what we claim ed anil to get down and dig instead of do ing so much hot air work. Sandhill folks did some diggging. - and the newspapers joined in where they'could.” '* * • Dr. E. C. Brooks, President of State College, was one of the most informing speakers at the convention. Entering a plea for unity of effort atid leadership D.r. Brooks gave statistics showing what North Carolina has done educationally in the past 23 years, with emphasis on the work of the last five years, and pointed out that we should make the consolidated 1 school the center of interest as the basic ’ strength of the State lies in its agrlcul-: ttiral life. “During the past five years the school population of the State has increased five per cent, but the enrollment in the schools has increased twenty-five per cent." said I)r. Brooks, and he added: “That is re markable but it is far more striking than even these figurese indicate. For it means that not less than three-quarters of a million peeople iu Northt Carolina have changed their outlook npon life. It reaches to the parents, the elder brothers and sisters as to the younger children.” In quoting figures showing the increase in high school students Dr. Brooks de clared that it was but natural that more, books, magazines and newspapers would j be read in thfe tSffitq now tliau in for- 1 mer years when fewer people went to the high schools. He expressed the sopinion | that the increase in the cirenlatiini-' .ot*j newspapers in North Carolina is due to : better educational facilities for more poo-1 pie. and he declared that ns educational advantages increase there will be more , reading and greater culture in the State, j Dr. Brooks declared that the aevspa-! pers have played an important part in j the educational awakening in North Car- 1 olina and be urged the editors-to continue I their co-operation with the colleges and I school heads. * ■* * Mr. Wallace Odell, of Taryttnvn. X. 1 Y.. was honor guest of the editors at the convention. Mr. Odell is President of the National Editorial Association, and his address was one of the most delight-. ful events of the meeting.

He declar ed that all of the North is not wet, and he criticised and denounced those ’ papcis of his own ami other States which have become advocates, of saloons. He quoted figures showing that prohibition lias been a national blessing and also told of prom inent men who first opposed prohibition,; coming over to the dry side after seeing the benefits that have come from the. eighteenth amendment. ** * I Mr. Josephus Daniels, who had no al-, lotted address on the program, was pies ent and spoke on several occasiuus. He | was heard with keen interest. At one of the business sessions when the "curse” of free publicity was being discussed byf •T. I). Bivins, of Albemarle and others, Mr. Daniels brought to the attention of the editors the matter of publicity for political candidates. In the last State election in North Carolina, Mr. Daniels said, it cost the candidates probably $500,000 to get their message to the people. “If Aycock and Vance livfd now,” he pointed out, in discu-jung the | costs of primaries and elections. "They ■ could not run for office. How many of ■ yo.n have not heard people discuss some I :t' n for some particular office and then 1 with a shake of their heads declare: ’lie is a fide man, but he won’t run. He can not afford to?' That's been:, ing an evil i in this State as it has already become an evil in other States. Instead of the of fice seeking a niau. we now have men seeking an office.” Mr. Daniels frankly admitted that he had lio remedy to offer, but he declared’t was high time consideration was being given to this question. “Shouldn't time be some way for a man to get his mes sage to the people without expending large sums?” he asked, declaring that men with money or others with financial backing were dominating politics now and' would continue to do so until tin man with limited means was given seine | medium by which he could gw to the | people with his message and personality, I At the banquet meeting Mr. Daniels j spoke again, this time pointing out the j tendency fouud now in seme parts of the i State whereby the “autocrat" was becom ! iug too powerful. Men with money, he j declared, are buying power of nil kind, | and he asked his hearers to beware espe ! dally of that man who has no money jfcimselef but who is wi'ling to soil his I soul or office to the niau who lias money. * • • | The editors themselves dijl lots of j talking. They discussed the, matter of charging for cards of thanks, etc., hut i agreed on no plan for the eutire associa tion. It should lie loft wit-i the individ ual whether or not a charge should be made for such matter, the association de cided. i The best manner to advertise the State was another matter that was nut definite- THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNI -——< ■ - i ly decided. A State chamber of I merce, a state department with a publie i ity bureau, a special writer to.be employ ■ ed by the association and State aid for ■ certain publications of the State TJuivcr ’ sity were. somVof the suggestions made. - It was also suggested that what was ■ needed most of all was a bur, -an at Ral eigh that could collect the data so that various newspaper correspondents xvho write far papers to other States, could send the publicity out j The association took no definite fiction i to regard to securing an agent who would handle all foreign advertising mat ter for all papers of the association. Some favored the proposal, wLilo oth ers were bitterly opposed to it as being theoretically perfect, but very impracti cal. One suggestion was that the office of , this agent could send out publicity data. I The business sessions were well af | tended. As usual the largest attendance j , was noted at the banquet, xvhen more | i than 05 delegates were present. But the | , attendance as a whole was rather small, as is usually-it* ease with the Mid-Win ter meetings. There were heard many ’ suggestions that the winter meetings be abandoned and that everyone centralize on a big. whooping summer meeting. It is very probable that the summer meeting will go east. For three years the summer meetings have been west of Greensboro, and this means an eastern trip this summer. One suggestion rela tive to the meeting is a junket trip, starting at Hfileigh and contihulug to Wilmington and Morehend t'lty. with sessions at various towns and cities eu route. The executive committee un doubtedly will give serious thought lo this, as several members are known to approve of the suggestion. Entertainment at Pinehurst was all that could be asked. The management of The Carolina was most hospitabl- and thoughtful, and everything possiblp for the entertainment of tho editors" and their wives was done. .Miss Beatrice Cobb, Secretary, and Mr. C. A. Webb, President, were the leading figures at each of the sessions. Tho editors are deeply grateful to them for the excellent program anil enter tainment provided. Mr. Walter Savory, assistant to the Presklent of the Mergcntlmler Linotype Company, was one of the moving spirits in the ontertainmnt offered. He arrang ed the golf tournament and was always on hand to offer recreation suggestions. Mr. Snvary has been attending sessions of the North Carolina Press Association for year and his courtesy and kindness arc two reasons for the popularity of the Linotype in North Carolina. For a newcomer representing a paper which for 38 years lias been represented by the senior member of the family, the sessions of the convention proved very interesting and helpful, and we are bet ter able to understand now why it took typhoid fever or something just ns bad to keep “the boss” away during all these years. W. M. S. .3:. The Thanksgiving statement isl Presi dent Coolidgc's own handwriting that was broadcast throughout the country by a newspaper syndicate was obtained by a perservering young girl reporter. White House officials, solieitou s news papermen ami secretaries told her it was impossible. President Coolidge heard her wish and declined. For the fourth time she broachetj her idea of a signori Thanksgiving statement personally and it was given out. The soil of Spitsbergen has been found to be frozen to a depth of about 1.000 feet. In summer the surface tlmws to a depth of about two feet. oooooooooooooooooooooooooc Start the New !| I Year Right Everything you need in ]!

All my floors are polished and in perfect condition.” “Oh. don't worry about • me stippin’ ♦ady, I’ve got nails In me shoes.” A few Sundays ago Edith’s mother was showing her some Bible pictures. After intently studying a picture of the Garden of Eden. Edith turned to her mother and in a. perplexed little voice asked “But, mummy, where is the mo tor?" "Motor?” exclaimed her moth er. “what do you mean? There weren't any motors in the Garden of Eden.” “But,” said Edith, much perplexed, “you told me that the angel drove Adam out of the Garden!” V Many ministers could, from personal experience, tell of the strange names bestowed upon infants at their baptism, but few could equal the following story recently told by the Bishop of Sodar and Man. A mother who was on the lookout for a good name for her child, saw on the door of a building the .Word “Nosrno." It attracted her and she decided that she would adopt it. Some time later, passing the same-building, she saw the name "King” on another door. She thought the two would sound, well together, and so the boy was bap flhrd “Nciuno King Smith." On her way home from the church where the banrtsm had taken place, she passed the building again. The two doors on which she had seen the names were now closed together, and what she read was not "Xosmo King, hut "No Smok ing.” The Museum of the City of New York has an old-time tavern sign on which is printed the following: "Four pence a night for Bed. Six pence with Supper. No more than five to sleep in one bed. No hoots to be worn in bed- Organ Grinders to sleep in the Wash house. No dogs allowed upstairs. No Beer allowed in the Kitchen. No Razor Grinders or Tinkers taken in." Arabian shieks are carrying vacuum bottles now.
