Though we may have seemed aloof from the scenes of conflict, our people Insisted, on bearing their share In the world struggle. Later, when for a time chaos threatened, our people wer6 ready with assistant e for the unfortunate and suffering. 1 hare seen tabulations which showol, Item by Item, a total of more than seventeen billion dollars of American wealth poured out in aid of our asso ciates in the war, and of suffering peoples wherever they were to be found since the war. > 82 Million* for Near East "Aside from ten billion dollars of loans to foreign treasuries, the totpl represented operations In private financing -to the extent of three bil lions: three hundred millions to the Red Cross; contributions to the Amer ican relief administration, aggregat ing two hundred, millions; the Near East Relief work; to which more than eighty-two million dollars was de vested, and other Items represented by the work of a long list of other societies and associations. No ap peal has' gone unheeded by our .peo ple, whether In behalf -of those who had been onr friends or our enemies In time of conflict - ^ America Needs No Apology "I do not think that our country needs to assume any attitude of apol ogy. I have every respect for the governmental and- social Institutions of other peoples, but I havo little sym pathy with our fellow citizens who profess to see In them something better adapted to our own needs than those which we have 'developed ? ir selyes, and who are vaguely apolo getic of the fact that they are Ameri cans. Neither have I any sympathy with those who are unwilling or un able to look beyond our shores and who content themselves with an equally vague and unmeaning asser tion of their Americanism. I reserve my approval fpr those who, while thoroughly American, yet do uot pro pose to live unto themselves alono, who are oblivious neither to duty or to chArity, but who cherish as Indi viduals and as citizens the nolden rule of action among our own people I America* ?lsn Praised 'It is my1 opinion that the policy adopted by America is the one mom likely to promote peace and good will toward us among other natlona. 0;ir government has extended to ot.hor governments loans aud crolits, which they are beginning to ret?ay. b-s lleva there Is a moral obligation to make suct\ repayments, and for that reason I am opposed to the cancella tion of International tnda badness.

HUDSON ltaleigh, N. C., Dec. 3.? Changed ' from an "I hope I won't be disap-' pointed" attitude to one oi heurty support in three short years is the experience of C. H. Hudson, who has found that the co-operative marketing of cotton has brought him many advantages ovor the old! syistem. ) Mr. Hudson has charge of tho farm demonstration work with Ne groes in North Carolina and first signed the contract only because ho thought the principle of co-opera- ? tive marketing was right. Now after three years as a member of the Co-operative Cotton Associa- , tion, he says, "My experience with j the Association has brought me sat is faction and gratification. The prices which I have obtained for my cotton have been better than the average outside of the Associa tion and I have not been worried with loss of time and in attending to the details of selling. My cotton has been stored at a low rate of in terest b nd has been safely insured r*; a low cost. These things arc worth while." Mr. Hudson finds that one of the other advantages of belonging to the Association is that a group o:" experienced, business men who de vote their time to a study of mark eta and marketing can sell cotton better than a single individual who knows very little of these things. He states further that the Associa tion is stabilizing the price of cot ton and is having an effect in ' in suring the economic independence ? of the North Carolina farmer. "The manner in which this new and big undertaking has been or ganized and handled and the suc cess it has attained thus far shows it to be one of the biggest and ' ? ' * ? 1 1 mm most important movements ever at temped by farmsr," says Mr. Hud son. "Not a single bale of cotton has been lost. Every bale has been sold on its merit or grade and pay ments have been made farily and promptly. I find this association is 100 per cent for the farmers." MAKING 'EM JUMP If you want to know whether a man has good manners, don't watch him at an evening party whejn he is putting on his best style. Keep an eye on him when he is driving an automobile fin his everyday clothes. Take your position in any city I where there are fairly crowded ! .street corners, i at some inters'. ;- 1 tion not protected by any traffic | officer. You will see a certain element of speed boys , coming down the pike at a merry rate. The pedes trians watch them ' anxiously, hur rying as fast as they can, getting flustered and out of breath, rapidly twisting their necks, in the impos sible task of looking four ways in one instant of time. One would think that a driver, seeing the troubled conpern mani fested by these good folks, would show some sympathy for them, or at least demonstrate his good man ners by permitting them to cross the street comfortably. The, great majority of drivers will of course, do so gladly. But the speed crowd can not thus yield their lordly command of the public ways. Some of these folks should know better. Put tfiem in some one's reception room at a party, and they will ostentatiously insist that their friends enter the door first. They would blush to have artyone see them precede a lady. Somehow they forget all that when they get behind a steering f wheel. A driver shows up his real nature thert. The veneer of social polish rubs thin in some places. Other drivers are mo ignor ant and do not know better. They simply need education. Naturally they Mhave no conception of how thej^sfliould behave in driving a powerful machine ?? through the streets. It Is the business of our police and courts to give them the lessons in manners which they have hitherto had no opportunity, to learn. "POLITICIN" IN HORSE COVE" Tho New Be,rnian speaking of the plays given in New Bern las' week by the Carolina Haymaker,-:: says they wc-e r?ieted by a large and appreciative audience. All three plays were "well produced, wall constructed and well acted." Following is the comment upon upon Mis; T o -swell's play Politicin' in Hoijse ,CJve: "Probably the most popular play with the audi ence was the humorous comedy picturing a recent election day among the Carolina mountains 'in Horse Cove. The endeavor of the determined wife, Sairy Fortune, to keep her intoxicated husband from ' the polls and the attempts of local j politicians to get him from under her watchful care formed a comic ! complication replete with fun and , humor." The electoral college will haive to organize a football team if it wants to get as much newspaper space as the other colleges. Some folks need to{ spend a little le3s " time repairing tho social 'sys tem and a little more in mendiing their own buildings. HUGE RELIEF MAP OF W. N. C., TO BE SHOWN To Be Prepared for Exhibition at Various Placet Throughout "the Country ? Will Show Features of Region. A huge relief map of Western North Carolina will be placed on exhibition at the Southern Expo sition in New York. The map will be colored and will" be 12 feet high t and 25 feet long, with concealed / lights overhead. Asheville will have a f-ominent position in the center of the' map. . ?. ? ? Ail the mountains, with the highest elevations, will be shown besides !ake3, waterfalls. gorges, highway's, and their condition, nnd father features. Hours ? of travel from centers of population will al so be recorded. Contract for the making of the map will bo awarded this week. Another .feature of the Ashe ville exhibit at the Southern Ex position will include various kinds of mountain crafts, such as pot tery, weaving, wood-carving, bas ketry and products of the Chero kee Indians. The Asheville 'exhibit space will be decorated with mountain foli* Bge, :uch p."? spruce, kalmia, rho dodendron and galax leaves. A representative of the Cham ber of Commerce will be in charge of the booth; There will also be a large collection of photographs of this region and literature will be distributed. The exhibition is be ing arranged so that it can be shipped frops place to, place. It will be shown at the American Outdoor Exposition in i Chicago next May, ' . The girls who look as . if they worked in a flour mill may simply have been using the powderpuff. A; manufacturer's first question, when planning the lofcati$>n of a factory, is "What are the railway facilities?". Busi ness men who are investing capital in new industries in North Carolina know that a location on the lines of the Southern Rail way is an assurance of prompt deliveries of fuel and materials to the factory, and of finished goods to inland markets and ocean shipping ports. North Carolina's prosperity depends on adequate transportation. Good railway service is a magnet that draws industry to a state, just as poor service throttles busi ness and discourages new enterprises. The character of Southern Railway service in North Carolina is notably contributing to the prosperity of the State. The high standards of service on the Southern could not be maintained with out continued heavy expenditures for new facilities to handle promptly and efficient ly the traffic offered our lines. In the past twenty years our outlays for additions and betterments in the State of North Carolina have amounted to more than $40,000,000. These capital expenditures have been in addition to our day-to-day . ? ? if . : -? ??. ' , .yy y> . -V- ? 1; */ ' " *j" . ; operating^ expenses and taxes in North' Carolina, which annually amount to mil lions of dollars. In ld23 they totalled $26,000,000. ' ! Most of the new capital expended on our Nofth Carolina lines in these two decades has been devoted to improvements which . enable us to move traffic promptly and thus attract new industries to the State and so contribute to North Carolina's in creasing prosperity. } Nevertheless we respond as generously as practicable to the vftshes of our fellow citizens of North Carolina for improve ments which, while desirable, do not in crease the capacity of the railroad as a transportation facility. In the last ten years we have eliminated fifty-four grade crossings and have ^provided forty-four new or improved station buildings in the State. With the cooperation of the people of North Carolina we hope to bfe able to > continue our policy of making our'niajor" outlays for additions and betterments that will increase our capacity to do our day's work.
