PROFIT-SHARING

Dr. Elliot Sees In This Cure For
Much Discontent.
Boston, March 10. Profit-sharing is
the real remedy for the discontent ex
isting among workers today, accord
ing to Dr. Charles W. Elliot, president
I emterus of Harvard. The basis prin
'ciple of contentment in labor, says Dr.
Eliot,' is the expectation of profit bc
i yoad the daily wage. -'
"I hare seen a continual increase in
wages for the past forty-five vears.
and in all that time discontnet has
Kwn steadily," said Dr. Elliot to

laboring day has decreased, but this
. has not tended to bring about happi

T'The system of profit-sharine which

suprtly the needed motive to keep the
eMMvyes interested in their work, and
consequently .contented.
"This factory employes mor tHan

Oriental, March 11. The worst
electrical storm in the history of the

ing between the hours of) 2 and 4 o'clock
and left much damaged property in
its wake.
The early part of the night was warm
and sultry but there was-not the least
sign in the elements of an approaching
thunder storm. Shortly after 1 o'clock
low rumbling thunder coidd be, heard'.
!t momentarily grew nearer until it
seemed that the heavy laden skies had
lowered to eirth and were engaged in
mortal combat. Peal after peal of
thunder drowned all other nciscs and
the lighting flashes were incessant and
terrifying.
One bolt of lighting struck the steeple
of the Baptist church and tore many
shingles from it but fortunately did
not set fire to the building. Another
struck a hay slack just outside of the
town and this was soon enveloped in
flames and destroyed. A number, of
trees were struck by the lighting. Re
ports are to the effect that considerable
damage was done all over this section.
Following the electrical storm there
was a deluge -of rain and the streets
were flooded with water. This however,
soon drained off and later in the day
there is but little evidence Outside of
fallen trees and the damaged church,
of the storm of a few hours previous.

"1 have in front of me a gocd photo

Dr. Charles H. Hughes, anolhei

"Wcodrow Wilson's character is re

While his is the face of the student

I read with much interest the articles

Mr. Editor, if Mr. Voter and several
others would just stop for a moment
and think how much more North Caro
lina would be worth today-if there had
been a stock law in it thirty years ago,
thtv. would come to a conclusion dif
ferent from that expressed in their
communications. A stock law would
be the means of stoopiw SO manv forest
fires that do so mucluda"magc to tinToer
and destroy the young trees.
About fifteen vears ai;o 1 visited INcw
Hanover county and the people seemed
to be badly hurt over the result of
having no fences. Two years ago 1
visited the same place and they seemed
to be getting along all right. I spent
a week there looking over conditions.
Last January the people tcld me that
they would not again have their stock
running at large for anyt-hing.
I think a State-wide stock law would
be a great thing for the farmers and
their stock also. I have a few cows
and I could get better results from one
good cow than I can from all 1 now
own. It costs me more to keep other
people's cows out than to keep mine,
in. Stop the hogs from running at
large also and stop more of the disease
and in five years we would not have the
law rcealled for anything.
