shys, “it is difficult to understand how

GROWTH OK TRUST COMPANIES.
Trust companies operating in North:
Carolina have enjoyed a sternly ands'ib
stantial growth* since 1014, according to I
figures published ip Commerce and Fi-J
nance, a Chapel'Hill publication. Ac-!
j cording to figures published in Commerce-1
and Industry, tjrqst companion in the
State did a business in 1923 approxi-
Imately five 1 tiui*» ad' great as the < busi
ness .done in 1914.
Tctal resources of sueh ompanies in
North Carolina amounted to $30,705,,
000 as of June 30th, 1914, while on the
same date, 1923, they amounted to $145,-
177,000 the latter amount excediug the
former by 472 per cent.
During the same period of time trust
eompanie reeonrees for the ceiratry as a
whole increased from $5,925,000,000 to
$14,441,000,000, a growth of 244 per
cent. ; North Carolina’s rate of growth
being almost twice as great.
Not only does the State show great
growth for the decade; the 1922 figures
exhibit a gain of 25 million over 1022;
and 1922 in its turn improved over 1921
by six million. In numbers of institu
tions emphasizing a loan and trust bus
iness. as distinct from pure commercial
banking, the gain has been less marked,
ns it should be. At present there are
about 100 such institutions, as com
pared with 55 in 1915. In New York
State the number of loan and trust com
panies is no greater, although they dp
over one-fourth of the nation’s total
banking of that character.
If one is interested in comparative
sizes, North Carolina's 145 million of
loan and trust company resources does
not look impressive by the side of the
nation's fourteen and a half billion. Ours
is only about 1 per cent, of the total.
New York’s is 27 iter cent, of the total. ;
Nevertheless we rank 15th among the
States at present; whereas we stood 19th
in 1914.

. SCIENCE NGW aw A#*#
Mata. a. U,
aeet Raids ea Frutt Production.
Johannesburg. South Africa, Sept. 15,
—Thanks to the radio, fruit growers
hereafter will be able to determine
i: through the senses of hearing whether
(“apples and other fruits are wormy.
,j I)r. C. K. Brain, professor of ento
j mology at Stellenbosch University, has
Conducted a scries of experiments along
tliis line, as a result of which toe has
drawn the conclusion that worms and
bugs can be detected with certainty by
radio.
Dr. Brain’s method was simply that
of attaching to an ordinary wirlless tel
ephone an unusually strong microphone.
He took parts of twigs of fin apple tree
known 'to be infected with the larvae of
the apple worm, and placed them in a
box connected with the microphone.
Tiirough the receiver he could distinctly
hear the movements of the larvae, as
well as the nibbling of the insects at the
leaves. *
Likewise he placed a wormy apple in
the box. and the microphone registered
the noise made by the worm as he nib
bled away at the apple.
A third experiment consisted in de
tecting the presence of the weevil in
corn.
Electric Lights For the Country.
Gastonia Gazette.
Cleveland count folks are doing more
then .talking about installing electric
lights op farm hoipes throughout the
county. The Star says that at first the
idea was one of talk but new the
dreams seem materializiitg. The folks
seem materializing. The folks up there
have become seriously interested iu the
proposition. Last night the Patterson
Springs and Earl communities met to
discuss the matter with the county
agent. Lawrence. Monday night. Sept.
8. a similar meeting will be held at Bel
wood and Wednesday night. September
10. at C’asar. The Patterson Springs and
Earl folks plan to cooperate in erecting
a line from a propised sub-station at
the Post Road gin to extend south and
serve both communities with electricity
for lights necessary farm power, so far
as is practicable. Belwood and Casar
have similar aspirations and are dis
cussing joining with Fallston. for a line
from Lawndale, where more power is
generated than is used by the iui’,l and
that community. Perhaps other plans
will come up at the meetings, but some
thing definite at least is underway.
The county board of agriculture,
which is already “making its mark”
over the eoupty, is deeply interested in
the eleetrie development of the rural
communities of the county and a discus
sion of the matter featured the regular
meeting hold Monday. Farsighted farm
ers can easily vision the time when
farm life will be revolutionized by
electricity and that Cleveland is stepp
ing out ill the lead is a tribute to the
intelligence of the farm folk of the
county.
The question of elflctfiic lighls for
county homes is a matter that lias long I
ago found solution. There ere many
commercial plants on sale that, furnish
all the i>ower and light necessary for.
the farm home.
However, some communities have out
grown this, and ate. competing tip with
the Southern l’n\v*r Company lines. A
(community in Mecklenburg adjacent to
Charlotte formed a stock company and
built its own line from Charlotte. They
are enjoying every, advantage oithe city
dweller as far as the uses of electricity
are concerned.
There are not many sections of Gas
ton county so remote from a station
of the Souther Power Company that a
community line could not bo built on
the same conditions as was the Sliaron-
Sardis line in Mecklenburg.

The Dawes Plan.
Youths Companion.
The Dawes (plan, which seems likely
to be put iato effect ns a result of the
London agreement, is too complicated
in detail to be explained in a paragraph.
But Die eswnitkil provisions lire these:
Germany - to- to bo given four years to
work up to the full execution of the
plan. At the end of that time it is
calculated that the Germans can make
annual repgntti >n payments of about
$(>50,000,000, Tl lese payments are to be I
supplied from new taxation ami from
mortgages on the railways and the great
industries!of Germany. The reparations
money is to be accumulated in n new
privately managed bank in Berlin with
the power of' note issue, the control of
which is to lie divided among Germans,
representatives from the allied nations
and neutrals. The terms of the repara
tion payments 'can lx- varied in future
yeans; more or less will be paid annual
ly according to a carefully defined “in
dex of prosperity.” If there is any dis
pute over the application of this index,
the matter ,is "to be referred to arbi
tration in the League of Nations. To I
help in financing the (first reparations
nnd in providing capital for the new
bank a loan of $2(10,'000.090 is to be
made, not by other governments, but I
by private, capital. Special issues of
railway betiifc and industrial debentures
secured by mortgage on German proper
ty will be issued later as soon as in
vestors seem to be ready to "buy them.

Motivating the Classic.
Charlotte Observer.
Dr. H. O. Herring went Concord
42-years ago a sis-eiment of the typical
tiarapson county blues, and in last week s
Uplift lie writes an interesting story in
reminiscence. He undertook to make
out the best case he could for the county
whence he came, perhaps with the idea
of establishing some sort of a letter of
credit, and he put in evidence tlia“ for
one thing, he cam ' from the county Vapde
famous by Miss I‘tleraon, author of- the
famous poem ci>.tiled TV” He umi.cr
lo it: to quote the opening lines and do
ing so did irreparable damage to the
poetess. “I saw I‘a come stepping
i high.” he quotes licr as saying, "which
was of his way the want." And such
is fame! As original sponsor for the
| famous poetess of Sampson county. The
.Observer’s feelings are lacerated almost
as painfully as is the poem itself. What
Miss I’eterson indicted was this:
“I seen Pa come steppin’ high.
Which was of his Walk the way.”.
If the old stocks in the Concord jail
yards had not been torn down some days
ago. we would feel like fitting the doc
tor's ankles into them for a period of
one hour as punishment fitting the crime.
But as it i«. we give him fair warping
against future recklessness iu handling
the great truths of poetry.

Walter C. Tindall, who shocked New
Jersey with his exposure of scandalous
stag parties said the other day:
"Well, human nature is human nature,
after all. There was once a venerable
old Quaker who left behind him when he
died a diary in 27 volumes. This diary
was the record of a blameless, an almost
lioiy life, and imge after page was filled
with the meet elevating reflections.
“Very frequently in the margin of the
diary the odd phrase *T. and F.’ appear
ed. Pages recording truly saintly diys
would have ‘T. ami F.’ on their margin
time and time again.
“The venerable bid man’s heirs fin
ally discovered somehow the meaning of
the- cryptic phrase. It meant:
“ Tempted and fell’.”
Brown came home from the office,
hung up his coat and hat aud looked
around for Mrs. Brown.
“Oh Alice!” he called, but there was
no reply. He walked out to the kitchen,
but she wasn’t there. Then he went to
the steps and called up the sairs.
“Oh. Alice!”
“Here I am, Pick,” came a faint
voice.
Brown went upstairs and found Mrs.
Brown in a bedroom closet with her
head bent over an old trunk.
“Well, what on earth are you trying
to dig up out of that old trunk?” Brown
demanded.
“Oh, Dick.” the Sirs, answered, “do

Dick thought over the matter for a
