{ WRONG SORT OF PUBLICITY
Ggstonia Gazette.
inhere has been going the rounds of
the South Carolina Press during the
pjjst few weeks a request emanating, we
believe, from Spartanburg, that cotton
mills be required to @4ke‘ public state
ments ns to thejr financial condition.
The argument is that since banks and
raijroads and other public utility cor
porations are required to make such
•statements, cotton mills should also be
required to do the same thing.
ilfut there is a difference as is forcc
fidjy pointed out by thf Spartanburg
Sin. which explains that a “cotton mill
is not a public service corporation, and
the public has no spfcial interest in
them since they do not render public
service. Each stockholder in a cotton
mill can get a statement as to its finan
cial condition when he asks for it. A
man would be very foolish to buy an in
terest in a cotton mill, or in anything
else, without finding out something a
to its financial condition. This law pro
vides a heavy penalty for making false
statements of this kind.
Publicity of the kind so frequently
suggested could not do any possible
good or serve any legitimate need, and
rou’d often be n-ed to injure a corpora
tion's business. The man who owns stock
in a mill, or who wAnts to buy stock
can get full information as to its finan
cial condition by asking for it. Outsiders,
or those who may want information to
be u«ed for the benefit of unfriendly in
terests. are hardly entitled to go into
the affairs of a corporation or a busi
ness that is not engaged in furnishing
any sort of public service. The same rule
would apply to any other manufactur
ing or merehantile or business firm of
any kind.
Publicity in certain cases is not only
desirable, hut necessity for the protect
ion of the public, but if we go into re
quiring detailed publicity as to every
kind of business to conduct many kinds
of business we will make it impossible
to conduct many kinds of business. It
would be only mischievous to require
publicity which would give customers
or 'competitors an unfair advantage in
busness affairs, and that is all such
publicity as is proposed could possibly
accomplish.”

wheat did not need any nitrate of soda.
He had another field of 4 acres whicti he

before this year. This year, following
corn and soy beans, he got 106 bushels.

This year Mr. Kriminger has soy beans

CABARRUS DOGS VALUED
AS HIGHUt CATTLE
Recently listed Taxea Bring Out Inter
esting Facts.—Mules Worth Mere Than
Ilorsaa.
Do we value our dogs more highly thqn
we do our cattle in Cabarrus County?
Figures recently made public by J. W. ,
R. Ling, who had charge of listing of
taxes, would seem to indicate that dogs
are worth as much as the general run of
cattle. At any rate, .the dogs on whictr
property owners put a value in the list
ing had an average value almost, ns great
as the average of cattle other than milk
cows. J
Tlie figures in the matter are as fol
! lows: There were 2(187 head of this type
of cattle in the county which had an
I overage valuation of sl3. At the same
j time, there were 4112 dogs in the eouuty
1 valued at $4334, which brought the av
! I rage price per dog to $10.28. This in
dicates a difference of less than three
dollars between the valuation of rattle
and dogs.
There were, however. 1632 dogs in the
county that were not valued by their
owners. Os these. 1246 were made dogs
end 386 were female dogs. There were
also 4469 milk cows which had a high
er valuation than did the other cattle.
These were priced by their owners at S2B
each.
Mules were priced higher than were
horses. The average priee of U|P 26!H1
mules was $75. while the 1040' horses
brought an average priee of only $54.
Sheep and goats were of little value.
| according to the statement of their own
i ers. The 528 sheep in the county had a
value of $2.30 each and the 123 goats
[were valued at $1.60 each.
j MOST DIFFICULT I
ROLE OF ACTRESS
Irene Rich Declares Her Work In “Be- 1
hold This Woman” Her Hardest. I
| Irene Rich, \rtio portrays the leading
feminine role ,in ’’HelitjW This Woman,”]
whidh will be shown at the Concord The- ’
ntre today, declares this to be one of
the most difficult roles she has ever had.}
The character is complex and unusual’
iu a dramatic production. It is that!
of a famous motion picture star, and!
during the action Miss Rick is called!
upon to play several scenes in a motion I
picture studio. She impersonates a siren
of the most vampish caliber and acts
comedy with delicious abandon. With
wigs and numerous bizarre gowns she be
comes a dozen different women, yet with
all there is the role of Louise Maurel.
With whose life the photoplay deals.
So completely does Miss RuL-change
her personality in the studio, scenes that
,one would scarcely believe that she is
, the same woman who portrays the Louise
Maurel of private life.
| For the studio sequences the exterior
ant} interior of Vitagraph’s picturesque
Hollywood studio has beeu used. The
•spectator is taken through the plant and
shown the actual process of filming and
directing a picture.

visit of the Southern Railway officials to
the city, as to was necessary to
import cream from Richmond. 'phe of
ficials had. they saiij|ote<l a number of
cans at the station wbc shipped Back to
a creamery in that pity.
They could understand bow it
would be necessary fqr a rural eoupty
such as Cabarrus wlKforceil to bring in
cream wben there *o*l.l be ample graz
ing lands capable of supporting herds of
cuttle.
t TV mattpw was brought ta the gttfn

ingtlie 2.1J5 ggjjffimF of
cream were shjgpedMruy from the fijlf“•
ty to other places. The number of pqunds
of butter exportsd during the same mouth ;
totaled 4.965.
Imported milk fttl butter does ip no
way approximate the total of these fg
ures. The Cabarrus Creamery Company
is the only firm ip ffie city which im
ports cream. This is done on slack

mood and has small amounts of prpam !
sept )U. The total of this prodpet is.!
neyer greater than fifty gallons per peek.
It is pot possible to obtaip t% figures :
i'll regard to the imiiorting of butter but, t
!t can hie safely stated, say persons in the H
creamery business, that no amount near 11
the 4.988 pounds exported is imported. • |i
Cabarrus eoupty does not have as great [ I
a number of cows as do any of tbe sur- h
rounding counties, it is said. Rowan i)
and Iredeil are both well known as'dairyf
counties and Stanly and Mecklenburg
both surpass Cabarrus in this industry, j
The figures show that while Cabarrus
may not do as large a volume of busi
ness as do other counties, still there is a 1
very favorable balance.
Not only is cream shipped out by ex
press, but a great amount is collected by
truck and is sent to Mooreville, Hick
ory and Lexington. There are estab
lished routes from which cream is gath
ered several times a week .and ’.lauled
away.
