The following esjtay yras written by Jdiss Violet Honeycutt, who graduated at Mont Amoena -Seminary last week: fiorth Carolina is the land of „p --portunity, and her dreams are com ing true. Governor Aycock’s \is : on of what education would do for on ig norant and poverty-stricken people realized in a decade makes North Car olina one of the richest and most pro gressive states in the Union. North Uaroliiia is just now realising her fpndest dream. She now pays more Federal tares, than any other state in .the union except New York and Pennsylvania. The dream not only produces cash but can produce anything else North Carolina wants. , For example, a splendid system of public schools, a state university, a system pf highways that make motor travel a joy to even the remotest mountain hamlet, a re vived and modernized agriculture, a new and flourishing crop of indus tries. North Carolina ranks next to Michigan in the manufacture of fur niture, and is neck and neck with Massachusetts in the weaving of tex tiles. North Carolina is a people so full of hope, courage, and honest pride that they have reversed the old definition of North Carolina as "A valley of humility between two moun tains of conceit.” and have made it a model for the entity and tbe emula tion of their neighbors. North Carolina was once a state humbled and impoverished by the Civil War: its little industries wreck- ; ed. its prosperous agriculture demor alized, its man power killed or crip- i pled in battle, its roads a mire of futs i that led nowhere, its people so poor I that they toiled desperately to sup- 1 port life itself and had tyo money or i time for schools or the commonest i comforts. During all this time North ! Carolina was full of leading lights i whose passion was schools. Progress made in education during - the last, decade has been remarkable. The capital invested in grounds, build ings, and equipment reaches to a to- i tal of $20,947,084. The value of i school property in 1910 was $5,000,- j 000. The value of school property in 1 1920 was $48,000,000. and the total I value of our school propertv now is i $65,000,000 Total school expend:- i tures in 1910 was $8,000,000. lr, i 1920 it was $17,000,000. , Teachers employed in 1919 were 17.000. Teachers employed in 1922 1 were 19.000. . The census of 1920 shows that the ! illiteracy has decreased in the past 1 ten years from 14 to 8.2 per cent. 1 The number of pup’is completing tbe 1 elementary schools has been increos- 1 ing at the rate of 50 a year. We have a University at Chapel 1 Hill, serving well the constituency of 1 the State. The University is giving 1 courses by mail to students all over Hie State. It is giving lectures to * thousands of men and women and it 1 sends students to make a complete 1 survey of the country’s resources of 1 population, wealth, school facilities, sanitation, and every other item that is necessary to know botii its present progress and its future possibilities. A democracy cannot be built on the backs of ignorant men. Educate tbe pis,pic and industry will spring in to being. Educate the negro, and we shall have no negro''question. Edu- < cate everybody and everything: the I potato on your table would not know 1 its grandfather in Ireland, its so much 1 better, and its better because it’s got I | a college education. If education is good for a potato, it’s good for the 1 farmer’s boy who digs it. Education , is getting ourof folks what God Al- i mighty put into them. Education is . a means to reveal the latent powers of men. and it is a road out of back wardness anil despair, into a land of hope and achieyemeut. for ignorance is the enemy of freedom. Today no fainter boy or factory boy in North Carolina need miss a good education in •• modern school under a good teacher. liu North Carolina, ev ery day in the school year. 18.000 children are carried to school in mo tor vehicles. Consolidation of the one-room county schooOumses : nto high grade central schools is going forward rapidly in the state. Every year the number of schools grow less, while the number of pupils grows more, and school terms longer. Education foretells a future of clearer polities, of enriched farms, of humming factories, of a fuller life for its citizens. The contribution ed ucation has made toward making these ideals realized has been noted to the greatest extent. Let us look at some of the benefits derived from the products or creatures of education. Science has increased our understand ing of nature, and has given us con trol of powers formerly unused. Look, for' example, at the blessing of the controlled water power of North Car olina. The Southern Power Company, rep resenting an investment. of $200,000,- 000. which has put to the use of in dustry iu North Carolina half a mil lion electric horsepower developed from the waters of the dozens of streams of the Southern Appalachians, aud from the coal of- the nearby fields. The spring freshets of these rivers used to destroy millions of dollars worth of property. Today these fresh ets are restrained by the Southern Power Company's dams, aud work for man instead of against him. and run 5,500,000 spindles aud most of the. street ears in North Carolina. In Great Britain, a great industrial coun try which has put its beds of coal to work to drive machines, every laborer in a factory, on an average, is aided py half a horsepower of artificial pow er. N In North Carolina every laborer in a factory drives a team of .right in visible horses, brought to bis service over the wiijes from the lasted strength of these streams. Today North • Carolina lias dozens of new factories owped by, New Eng landers. employing ’ North .labor, and -.adding their pay ’.rolls .to the wealth of .the state. Gaston coun ty has "JO4 cotton mills, and North Carolina .altogether has. five, and if ha jf s±a aEw-arrJ ■billion dollofi. There arer'«l3 t,e*ti& THE CONCOkb DAILY TRiBUNE mills in the state compared wjth>aan Carolina, and ITO in .flyr ’ The largest hosiery in tpe taprld age located at Durhfm,'*oSt!

Winston-Salem contains the larg est underwear factory in Arueridw Gaston coputy, with around JflO mills, is the center of fine combed yarn in the South. In the processes of manufacture, our own mills consume a half tril lion hales of cotton, more than the state produces jn an average year, A few more years and the industry of North Carolina will rival Lancashire itself. We lead the world in tobacco man ufacture. The 33 tobacco factories in the State consume a fourth of all the leaf tobacco used in manufacture Tn the entire United States, and pays a full fourth of all the tobacco taxes of the Union. In tobacco production we are far beh’nd Kentucky, the leading tobacco growing State in America, but North Carolina stands first in the total farm value of her tobacco crops. The H. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company of Winston-Salem buys more than $250,000 worth of revenue stamps front the post oflii-e every day. Today North Carolina is the biggest manufactory of tobacco products in the United States, second in textile manufacture third in furniture manu facture. aud twelfth in hydro-eiectrio power. We lead the South ill the number of furniture factories. 5.999: iu the number of operative, employes, 158.- 659: in the volume of wages paid, $126,753,000; in the amount of capi tal invested. $06!*,144.000: iu the va riety of products which arc worth , $944,904,000: in the total value of the annual output, $416,902,000. North Carolina is tbe most prosper ous state in the Union, making relu- ] tively greater agricultural, industrial. | aud educational progress than’any other state. There are higher moan- ( tains, longer rivers, wider bays, big- i ger tobacco fields, bigger tobacco sac- i tories, bigger cotton factories, bigger i furniture factories, bigger poach orch- i ards, bigger and newer schoolhouses, , more school trucks, aud several other miscellaneous bigger things, all oper ating every day. The Hand Hills of North Carolina a : few years ago had reverted almost to a primeval wilderness. The hill sides all were clothed in blackjack oak i or second growth pine. Lumbering had been the big industry, but the timber was exhausted. They tried ' cotton aud they tried tobacco, and peaches and dewberries proved to be i the answer. Beautiful and luscious, they regained this lost paradise to the 1 service of man. Around Finehurst and Aberdeen and Southern I’ines grew up an industry famous through out the land. Fine stumps have giv en way to peach trees upon thousands of hillside acre*, and this acreage is rapidly increasing. A ''Yankee” (Mr. Tufts) philan thropist. looking for a site for a win ter resort less expensive to reach titan Florida, heard of the Hand Hills, aud what Finehurst now means to most people outside of North Carolina, is the result—a play ground of un exampled magnitude and a place to go for recuperation. Due to its ideal climate aud easy accessibility. Fine- ; hurst, lias lxintue one of Jhe world’s greatest resorts. - Finehurst is known as our most ideal winter resort, so is Asheville our most important summer resort city. Asheville is known the world over as a great resort. It ’s called Western North Carolina. Inc., anil is working to bring in new industries, now capital, more and better schools, aud a revival of the home crafts, which, promise a rapid development of the magnificent possibilities that lie in the rich native resources and the sturdy character of the people of the “Land of the Sky.” We have built roads over and un der and around and through all of the mountains, rivers, tobacco fields, peach orchards, and, in one instance we had to float a road three miles long over one of the sounds. North Carolina’s road-building program is considered the greatest iu the United Htutes from many view points. In 1921 the people first ventured $50,000,000, and approximately 0.200 miles of roads, connecting the 100 county seats, became the nucleus of the Htate. Two years later $15,000,- 000 more were added to it. Federal, Aid funds and funds donated by the counties amounted to $11.000,000 dur iug the three-year )>eriod. The state had invested over $75,759,228 in road building since 1921. A Htate of 2,- 500.000 jieople, never until a few years ago regarded by the outside world as particularly prosperous. We now have 4,000 miles of the best public roads in the world, valued at $125,000,000. > Already the investment has mow •than justified the investors in aetu*} cash returns with a saving of s£- 500,000 a year in gasoline. Cost cab;, not be measured hritide the opening »f opportunities- for religious gatherings, SI,OOO a day of income from outsid ers in gasoline tax, and the easy and quick transportation of children be tween their homes and the schools. The value of this dividend cannot be computed in money term*. North Carolina, is providing it link of tremendous value in the transport! tntion chain which is> to bring the North and South into closer union, geographically aud commercially, < thus increasing an international spir it of union. The investment broadens the life of tbe community, increases its religious and educational opportunities, devel ops companionship and the commuuitgr spirit and stimulates industrial aud other .material activities., ’.‘Au stoinachf’ said Napoleon: aad cu|- riu-e and tjausp- , r ta I iotL .clogged and restrained by the mire df their highways. ’Tn time, through .KMiS&r&Sfr . t*’ to east aside *fe detaining h»mlii*ps. North Cajrglina has learned, the _dif- I ference • between investment and ex. ' pendituge, and, havin( learned the | lesson, has proceeded to apply it in practical development of the .State. Measured by its taxpaying power, I North Carolina is the richest State in the South. In M 132-23 it paid $140.- ' OOO.QOO of tax money into the federal treasury. This was twice as much as j i>ai(l by .Virginia nipt, Texas, its two nearest competitors. It wow nearly j $10,000,080 more than the rest of the I twelve Southern State* paid, all put together. Its domestic corporations and the foreign corporations doing business in North Carolina paid in< other $,’>.000,000 into the state treas ury. North Carolina tin* multiplied ita total wealth by ten in the last decade. Tlie estimated true'worth of all prop erties in North Carolina, on January Ist, li>2B. was $4,500,000,000. Vir ginia ranks slightly ahead of us, while Texas with twice our population, and five times our territory had only twice the true wealth of North Carolina. It is an increase of $11,000,000,000 dur ing the last ten years. North Carolina is not only a bil lionaire State in the possession of wealth, but it is a billionaire State in the annual creation of wealth. We arc still far from being the richest State in the I’nion in true and -ac tual wealth, but in the increase of such wealth, mau for man in the last ten years. North Carolina led the whole United States. No other State came anywhere near its two and a third-fold ratio of gaiu during the lust decade. Three hundred thousand dollars worth of household goods are exempt ed from taxes, in favor of the poor man struggling to raise a family and establish a home. No State in the Tirol! is kinder to the poor than North Carolina. This exemption win ed off the tax books of the State more than $200,000,000 worth of taxable property. The State-is able and willing to pay for public education, public highways, public health, and public welfare, and North Carolina has learned that mon ey paid to a trustworthy government, to support productive enterprises for the common good is invested money, and not taxes at all in the ancient ami hated sense of the word, for 02 cents of every taxpayers' dollar in , North Carolina goes directly back to I him. | The State is spending $4,000,000 a j year to support common schools, pub lic high schools, technical training, liberal earning and agriculture pro motion. It is spending $3,000,000 more to care for her old confederate I soldiers, the insane, the deaf, the bl : nd. the erippled, tlie feeble-minded, j the orphans, the wayward boys and ; girls of both races, and the public w elfare agencies of direction and sup- j ervision. North Carolina would not spend less on her afflicted and dis tressed, for the purposes are tenderly humane and finely Christian. / j The people of the State are definite-! ]y determined upon the most liberal 1 isilicies of health promotion and di- j sease prevention. The State is spend ing $8(10,000 a year in public health) work. They want not less, but more, public health work. They want the days of weakness, illness and loss of income definitely decreased. At last onr people have come to realize that health is wealth as well as happiness. The death rate of North Carolina has been lowered from 18.2 per cent to 11.5 i>er cent, tier thousand of impu tation during the last ten years. AA’e spend more and more on cradles and baby carriages uud we spend less and less on fpnerals and coffins. Our high birth rate and low death rate have given North Carolina a fame that reaches around the world. The vitality and virility of our unmixed stock is the wonder of the world. Her people arc the sort that build enduring civilizations. They have just begun to erect such a common-wealth. Put all the future is theirs. North Carolina is one of the old est Statqs in the Union. Twenty years ago it was one of the poorest Today with practically no immigra tion from the other States, with only) the increase in population that comes from its excess of births over deaths, it finds itself one of the richest Sta'esy progressing rapidly in every desirable instrument of "civilized life—a com munity of contented, industrious cit izens. with beautiful and modern homes, thriving farms and factories, ■hotels in every small city that cannot be excelled anywhere, highways that make travel and commerce comfort able and expeditious, schools that arc good and daily growing better, a pub lic healtli department that has brought ts death rate to the lowest in the country, and, best of all a peo ple of one mind upon tlie great issues of life, inspired by a common ideal, informed with a common purpose, heartened by their success in the pur suit of a great vision, and confidently 1 1 pressing forward to further achieve- i uieuts. ; —- '■ ■ ■ r>ryvnv j-’.r 1 I .... . . u. .j mj v ll ’ i ' , ... vz —.—. ■ - - . ~ I= ZJt 'Sllliuui Slim Because Clara Bow, movie actress, failed to return his love, Robert S.
