The Charlotte Observer predicts that in the near future much machin ery used in Southern cotton mills will be made iu the South by Southern la bor. "In times gone glimmering.” says The Observer, "it was contended that the Soujjl could not manufacture its raw supplies of cotton for the same reason now advanced that it cannot ' make its own machinery, viz.: it does not have the skilled labor.' Rut the native talent developed into the finest class of skilled labor, and the same thing is going to happen in the case of manufacture of machinery to run the factories of the South." Iu this connect on The Observer gives figures and data as compiled by Commerce and Industry showing that while Massachusetts and Rhode Is land continue to lead the country in tlie output of textile machinery,, there are uow 14 machinery manufacturing establishments in the South, these be ing located in North Carolina. South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia. Ala bama, Kentucky, Maryland and Vir ginia. In all the States iu the Futon reporting machinery manufacture. North Carolina now ranks ninth. Due to the fact that the Tar Heel State is the leader in textiles in the South, it is nothing but natural to presume that the ranking of the States will oon move up. The discussion in Commerce and Industry is conducted by George New by and Walter Matherly. ami '\>hcy quote authorities encouraghig this de parture. They put in evidence that, admitting the Southern advantages of nearness to market and cheap fuel, the New England manufacturers go on to say that the necessary skilled labor is lacking in the South. Labor on tex tile machinery is highly skilled: the workers must think in terms of ex ceedingly fine measurement and the prexent manufacturers say that such skill cannot be developed : u a single Feneration. Also the New England . manufacturers xny that they must se cure their raw material from the Pittsburgh district. The Birmingham district is not making the rolled shapes needed at the present time. “Admittedly these New England manufacturers are prejudiced." argues ’ Commerce and Industry. "They prob ably do net want to see the manufac ture of textile machinery in the South. As Mr. Edmonds point* out. New England cotton manufacturers predict ed. back in the eighties, that the South could never succeed at cotton manufac turing. But the Squth has succeed ed. Mr. Edmonds’ suggestions that the manufacture of textile machinery may come into the Houthern States . through tlic erection of branch plants and through the acquirements of pat ent* seem entirely feasible.” SOMEBODY WILLING TO TRUST RUSSIA. I .ate United States government has not recognized the ii Sttssin but just the same somebody iu the United States is willing to trade with the **eds.’’ ; This fact is established by the Asso -1 dated fteas reports from Moscow ! showing the following figures on Rus sia’s trade with the United States in 1925; value of Russia's exports to United States $11,000,090; value of Russia’s imports from United States $102,000,000. These figures offer a chance for a comparison with figures for the last pre-war year, when the old order was still established in Russia. In 1914 Russia sold goods worth $23,320,157 to the United States and bought from the United States goods worth $31,- 303.149. Our purchases from Russia have fallen off from $23,320,157 to sll,- 000.000; but our sales to Russia have shown an astounding increase, jump ing from $31,303,149 in 1914 to $102.- 000,000 in 1925. The total value of our Russian trade this year, imports and exports, is $113,000,000. The to tal value of our Russian trade before the war and before the revolution was only $54,623,306. Prices arc higher now for the same goods than they were in 1914, some thing like 60 per cent, higher. The volume of our total trade with Rus sia in 1914. therefore, would amount to $57,397.289 in terms of present prices. This still falls short by $25,- 602.711 of the volume for the present year. Somebody in Russia is doing busi ness despite the disorder and chaos over there. Revolutions there have been, but out of the wreck there is a demand for American goods and the Russians undoubtedly have paid their debts else their trade would havg been .stopped loug ago. When Cabarrus County Superior Court convenes here Monday the bridge connecting tjte jail and the court house will be used for the first time.

Heretofore it has been necessatp- to take file prisoners down one flight of j stairs iuto the jail yard and up an other to get from the jail to the court room.

The iprrease iu the local stock this month lias uot been at all impressive and doubt is increasing if that will be much more marked in the near futures unless prices mount to a point more attractive to holders of such gradis ns will readily meet contract requirements. Rejections from shipments of the tower grades for delivery purposes ire heavy aud make such an opera tion the reverse of attractive. A bunch of cotton branded as rejections takes much of the gilt off the gin gerbread when it comes to disposing of them- Premiums now couiuiauded by higher grades could weaken a tot before they would get down to a point where they could be tendered on contract- profitably aud at any such point would commend a ready sale to the trade. Spot demaud is slack as far as new business goes but foreign con sumers still have a mass of cotton to receive to fill the purchases which they made earlier in the season aud thippem who made those sales are still wearing chiefly sackcloth and tshes and wondering where they will get the cotton and at what basis if at all.

High Point, Dec. 30.—Perhaps the most unusual case in the annals of the local police court was heard tp day when Elsie Conovazs. pretty IT year-old blonde, wa» arraigned on a charge of bigamy- Judge Donald C. Macßae heard the case, found prob able est use aud ordered the defendant-, held for Guilford Superior court üßder SBOO bond. Facing two living husbands in the court room for the first time, Elsie only smiled and apparently was not at all alarmed over the situation- She showed little interest hr the affair, and made np statement concerning the serious charges which she must face. Husbaad number 1, Tom Conovazs and husband number 2, Oscar Grif fin, were witnesses for the State et the hearing, but husband number 1 blamed husband number 2 rather than the defendant for existing con ditions. The deftndant married Conovazs at Burlington on April 19. 1925. aud became the bride of Griffin at Dan ville. Va., on November 9. last, it is charged. Griffin said he had lived here with Elsie since their marriage. CUTEST THINGS.

I Why do American male juries sj> frequently return verdict* of not I guilty in the case of women whose guilt i* substantially indicated by the testimony? The question was raised in my mind recently after sitting through the trial of a girl charged with being . the decoy for a pair of bandits. She was not a "good” girl. Though only 19 years of age. she had run away from her husband and was living in adultery. Thpre was little about her to appeal to the sense*. The testi mony showed beyond contradiction that she induced two youths to drive out to a lonely spot on the pity outskirts. There her bandit asao ciates-were in ambush and, accord ing to plan, relieved the victims of their valuables. The case was clear-cut. The de fendng attorney did not i seriously attempt to rebut the. prosecution’s contentions. In a general way he put forth a, plausible version of the af fair, but it was palpable that he did uot exppet to win the case on its merit*. He made hi* greatest effort in addressing the jury. With much blandishment he orated to twelve goqd American citizens about the bleak gray wails of a prison and painted the harrowing spectacle of a girl still in her teens having to spend the rest of her life there. He did not seek'to show that the girl was not the associate at bandits, but he did straw the unfortunate situa tion of a girl in the clutches of these wicked men. He knew hi* jury, he knew what kind of an appeal would register. He was right. After nine hour*’ delibera tion the jury returned a verdict of nopguilty. Allowing an interval to lapse so that they might shed the effect*"of tootsie eloquence and reach a better perspective. I sought out three of (he juror* who seemed to be of normal intelligence. I asked them if they really thought that the girl was cot the associate of bandit*. All three replied that they thought she was. I asked them if they really believ-' ed that the girl did not in “fact decoy the victims to a particular spot so that they might be robbed. All three replied that they thought the girl did so. "Then why,'- I asked, "a verdict of not guilty?” It was significant that all three, predicated their explanations on the fact that the defendant was a girl of 19 years. "If we found her guilty, slje would rave to go to ja.il.” said the first." "I think that would do more harm than good." "I don't think the girl should be held criminally responsible for her qots under the conditions.” said the second. "She is young and foolish and was obviously dominated by the men." "Sajv’ chid, the third, "you don’t catch me sending a kid like that to iail. What kind of a guy would I be'?” They left me with the conclusion , that a jury is unwilling to leave a girl’s fate up to the judge. It whnta' • to control the final disposition of the . case. It is not content to say whether a woman is guilty or uot. but i* anxious to insure that she shall not go to jail- Other pussible inferences are that a jury regards prisons purely as peuai establishment.* and does not attach much importance to probation and reformatory systems. These iurors disregarded their specific oaths so that a girl who appealed to their sympathies might go free. Yet each of the jurors, l ;un sure, realized that in liberating he girl they might not be adopting the course of greatest advantage ■ to ' the girl hen-elf. They realized, too. that their action might not be for the benefit of other citizens. Now America is a hard-headed nation. When it indulges in senti ment. it usually does so a* a little mental relaxation in which the same way as a woman may draw com fort from tears. One must believe that the average American is so constituted that he will not send a woman to Jnit. ex cept in triviai-or particularly vicious circumstances. No other nation ex- Itcricnces the same repugnance in anything like the same degree. The American attitude may be attributed to chivalry and its logic is on the same order as Stephen Decatur’s uni vereaHy indorsed maxim. "My coun try, right or wrong." The American juror says. "Right or wrong, a wom an.” Americans ape uot demonstrative ly chivalrous, but in practical ways they are superlatively «o. The q'omeu of this country bulk largely in its economic construction with little or no male prejudice. They enjoy the greatest measure of personal liberty aud independence. They come nearer i to dßuinating their menfolk than the women of any other nation. And tip ' meu indulge them to au extent that mafic* other nationalities wonder. And when they stand in the pris oner's dock they are like Caesar s wife, above suspicion. They are “not guilty." Yet America leads the world in the number of divorces- Hcre’s the Secret. A. L.

At thought she laughed out loud, for she bad never seen him until that moment. And whqt an extraordinary-looking beast he was. Tall, and broad and big lik« a mastiff, "but with short, ctydy | hair, piebald black and white. As he leaped toward her, she saw that h e was bringing something more m his useful mouth. To her vague disappointment, it was not the morning paper, which he laid at her feet, but a huge and rather dirty hone. And in spite of its slightly repul sive appearance, Connemara appre , ciatcd the tribute he had paid her. she stooped to pet him, to look into his fond hazel eyes an 4 thank him properly. “You are probably the nicest dpg that ever was,” she estimated, “and undoubtedly the funniest looking. Yon h>ok like—let me sec—the big gest of ah the Christmas tree dogs at Wauasak's department store, the kind that costs sixty-three dollars and nobody ever buys.” i He must have understood her, for • by the sad drooping of his head she knew that he was hurt. She leaned to take him in her arms and speak to him. heaft to heart. “Dear Bugle,” she began, and stopped short. Tied peatly around his neck in a scrap of oilskin was a small package of surprisingly mys sterious appearance. “Shall I, Bugle?” she asked, all 1 a-flutter with this new and sudden in the plot. “Shall I -open it?” I Bugle made it very plaio that should and smiled benevolently when she untied it from bis neck.

There it was. ’ The fifty crisp one-thousand-dollar bulls which that frightful creature had given her on the ferry one exciting evening, long, long ago! And there was no doubt, when she compared them closely, that the square scrap of oilskin ex actly fitted the ragged gap in the coat she was wearing. Conne'mara thought very fast, which she always *did when she thought at all. “We must bury this, Bugle,” sbo said, and she knew she was right by the way he smiled and wagged his tail. “Dig, Bugle! Dig deep, old dear!" cried she. But for an instant he failed to understand; then shs scooped up a handful of earth and he caught her idea immediately Taking over the job, he started dig ging a fine, deep trench. “Perhaps his vocabulary isn’t very large,” mused Cotmemara, “and that’s no doubt because he doesn't know the right sort of people. But he’s intelligent without being pedan tic. And that counts for a lot in a situation like this.” As sfie refolded the banknotes in their envelope and tied the last knot' around the fateful package Bugle stepped aside to indicate that the hole was, ready. She dropped the parcel in its little grave and togeth er she and Bugle covered it with sand. Tamping it down with hei little silver slipper—now, alas, sc sjdly soiled—she pondered whet she could come safely back and ge’ the money, and what she would do with it when she got it. Then. . .

You men certainly do stick together Here you find me washed up on the beach with nothing to wear bqt a cold stiff, clammy raincoat. You could hardly call it a usual situation, and yet your first concern is Mc- Tish.

Had Lacy been too solicitous of Connemara, the chances are ahe would herself have been concerned Shout McTish, even sent Lacy look ing for him.
