DUCKWORTH RETURNS FROM
INSPECTION OF FORD PLANTS
As the guest of Ford Motor Com
pany P. C. Duckworth, local Ford
dealer, spent two days in Detroit and
Dearborn visiting the mammoth plants
of the company. Mr. Duckworth said
that it was a wonderful experience
to see Ford products made from raw
material, the methods of manufacture;
such as the conveyor system which ' in

parts from place to place enabling
the men to Ktand still at their work.
.The propoganda that Ford works men
to death is all wrong as the machin-
ery which has every safety device
does the hard work requiring only
the
attention of the operator when
something goes wrong. The previ
sion of manufacture was impressive,
jeach part being mude to exact mcas-
oufement and given a 100 per cent
inspection. !
.A visit to the Highland Park plant
was a troat, the size of which was
JJ78 acresi where mure than 50,000 '
men work. In addition to being the

OPENS REAL ESTATE OFFICE,
Mr. Jos. E. Johnson, who moved
here for the benefit of his health
several lears ago, announces his in
tension of opening an office on Main
street for the abstracting of titles to
real estate. Mr. Johnson studied
law at Wake Forest and after his ad
mission to the bar practiced in the
east part of this state until he moved
to Atlanta where he also practiced
for a number of years. Mr. Johnson
is licensed to practice law in all the
courts of North Carolina, South Car
olina, Georgia, the Supreme Court
uf the United States, and numerous
lesser Federal Courts, and has ap
peared in law suits in 14 different
states.

ture in the lumber industry proper
around 220 per cent (the United
States somewhat more and North
Caroline somewhat less than 220 per
cent); so it is apparent that in the
earlier years North Carolinn made
greater gains than the country at
large, but that since 1914 the country
at large has very decidedly outstrip
ped this state. In 1914 NorthOaro
lina contributed 3.6 per cerrfof the
value for the whole country of the
lumber industry proper, and 3.9 per
cent of the value added by manufac
ture, while in 1923 our contribution
was only 2.5 per cent in each of these
particulars an appreciable decline
our relative importance in this
field.
( a!tHeH of Lumber Industry Proper,
Thu federal Bureau of the Census
caS!)jfR.s tne lumber industry proper
umic.r lnree headings: (1) Lumber
anj timber products, (2) Lumber,
planing mill products, and (3) Boxes,
wooden packing, except cigar boxes.
In Table II below statistics are given
hi detail for North Carolina for each
of these groups for 1919 to 1923.
In Table III are given the totals for
North Carolinu and for the United
States from 1H99 to 192X
It will be seen that of these three
groups, in North Carolina, the first
(lumber and timber products) is
much the largest. It embraces log
ging camps, cooperage stock mills,
veneer nuns, merenam saw mms, i
(jl.,,n,jt,nt planing mills, that

METAL CABINET
FRIGIDARIES
DEMONSTRATION.
As a part of the National Demon
stration Week being conducted by the
Delco-Light Company from March 25
to April 3rd, Martin Electric tym
pany is exhibiting the new line of
metal cabinet Refrigidaires at their
sales rooms on Main street, during
tho week.
The idea of a National Demonstra
tion Week for the exhibition of these
new. metal cabinet electric refrigera
tors was originated by the Delco-
Light Company. It was designed to
eive everybody, in every locality, an
oportunity to learn about the advan
tages claimed for electric refrigera
tion and to study the improved fea
tures of these newest and latest mod
els of electric refrigeration equip
ment. Just as here in Waynesville, it was
explained, in every Frigidaire sales
room in the natiqn, during this Na
tional Demonstration Week, those in
terested will have opportunity to
ntudy the subject of electric refrig
eration, have it explained by expert
who will be in attendance at these

P. M. each day during this week of
special demonstration and opportu
nity, as never before, is oftwed the
people of this city to learn about the
possibilities for labor-saving, con-'

of a conference with a number of

differences, but only tentative under

, that "competition is the life of trade,"
, consumers have not become excited,
i Raleigh is asked to buy 4,800 Stonei

i generally have been co-operating

for the fifty-cent memorial coin, five
( million dollars of them having been
issued from government mints to aid
the big undertaking at Stone Moun

reported. 198 deaths by 'violence are
reported for last month against 15S

"LORRAINE OF THE LIONS
IS
SHE-TARZAN.
Patsey Ruth Miller Featured in Com
ing Strand Picture, Supporting
Norman Kerry.
Posed on the parapet of a country
mansion, Lorraine Livingston, was
about to be dashed to the ground by
a huge gorrilla that had her in its
grasp. Summoning her strange pow
er over animals she forced the beast
to drop her on the ledge,, the animal
falling to its death a moment later.
As a feminine version of Tarsan
the story in which this incident ap
pears will be shown at the Wayne
wood Theatre commencing March 81.
It is called "Lorraine of the Lions,"
a Universal-Jewel production, with
Norma Kerry as star and Patsy
Ruth Miller opposite him.
The girl is shipwrecked on a de
serted isle at the age of seven. Here
she grows up with wild beasts as her
only companions, until she is rescued
twelve years later. The girl's ex
periences on the South Seas Island
with her galaxy of pets including
twenty lions, two tigers, a gorrilla
and thirty monkeys, make an inter
esting narrative.
But when she takes the gorrilla
back to civilization with her she pxai
into a series of exciting adventures
which surpass even her thrilling
jungle life. The animal shows a
strange tinge of jealousy and refuses
to allow the girl to have human
companions.
