north Carolina m story. MINIMUM TOICR FIXED. It U IstcrrsJlag Question What North t'arullna Claims and What Can be EuMihl Beyond All Cavil. New York Herald. The people of North Carolina have been unfortunate In some respects. They hare been but lime aaaioieu to boasting of their achievements. While other States have been con splclous on gala days and in the his torical records of the pat. the peo ple of North Carolina have for two hundred years been making history without seeking to blazon forth their deeds to the world. Mr. Bancroft, whose duties led him to Investigate the facts of North Carolina's histo ry, has recognired that the people of this State bare accomplished in the cause of human freedom and in the vindication of rights ever held dear by free born cltiiens, and has. In his Immortal pages, chronicled some of the events that make the advance of North Carolina upon the religious development. But. unfortunately, the people of this State have been so Isolated from the great centres, have had so little communication with the outside world, have been so desti tute of those channels of intercourse that belong to more favored sections, that the great Important and un questioned facts of their history are unknown to the people of other States. While the skirmishes of the New England States are known and read of all men events of earlier and quite as significant character that happened in North Carolina are known to gentlemen beyond its bor ders, who, like the late Colonel Pe ter Force of Washington. Mr. Ban croft. President Welling and a few others are fond of historical investi gation or have been led by some cir cumstance to explore some of the partially known historical territory that belongs to this people. In view of these facts it becomes an inter esting question what North Carolina Claims and what can be established beyond all cavil question? Briefly true: That the first Englishman who ever planted foot on the American continent landed on Roanoke Island in the month of July. 1554. That the first child born of Eng lish parents on American soil was Virginia Dare, who was born on Ro anoke Island, in 1585, after whom the county of Dare is named. That the first resistance to the stamp act was at Washington, N. C, in 1765. That the first blood that was ever drawn In defense of the people's rights and in resistance of tyranny, was at Alamance on May 16, 1771. That the first meeting that was ever beld in any of the colonies to declare separation from the British command to organize for armed re sistance, was in North Carolina, in the county of Mecklenburg. In the month of May. 1775 nearly fifteen months before the national celebration. Farming in Town. Philadelphia Telegraph. The other day an agricultural per son from,South Jersey, characteris tically arrayed in elongated boots, trailing whiskers and a 1908 crop of hair, broke Into the gladsome zone at the foot of Market street, and af ter taking several hard ciders to sat isfy himself that he was no longer In local option territory he started to clhnb the Market street hill. He had not proceeded far before he came upon Contractor Vare's men, who were tearing up the street preparatory to laying the wooden block pavement, and seeing a team of horses hooked to a plough he topped In apparent astonishment. First he looked, and then he looked again, and scratching that part of his head where the hard cider was beginning to buzz, wabbled over to a policeman with a perplexed ex pression. "Mr. Constable," said he. address. Ing the officer, "is that a man ploughin' over yander?" "It sure is." replied the policeman with an indulgent smile. "Why do you ask?" "Because you folks down here has kind o got me ter ruesaln'," an swered Uncle Josh. "It Is too gosh dasted late ter plant wheat, an' it's too early ter plough for corn, and I was wonder in' what in ther thun deration ye was going' ter plant at this time o year." Cotton Spinners In Seaaloa at Char lotte Inaugurate Plan to Better Conditions in the Manufacturing nuainrw Will Ml) at Lowest IMre and Curtail When Market Slump. A hundred and fifty spinners, rep resenting a million and a quarter spindles, met in Charlotte Tuesday for a conference looking to the curing of a better price for yarns by concerted action on the part of the manufacturers. After a thorough discussion as to cost of manufacture. a committee of ten, of which Mr. R. R. Ray, of McAdenville, was chair man, reported a minimum schedule of prices that the spinners would ac cept for goods, the range being from 24 cents for S-l's to 50 cents for 60-2 and 3 s. This schedule which was adopted, Is cost price to the manufacturer based on the present prevailing price for the raw mater ial and it was the sense of the cot ton mill men that, when they could not get this minimum price, they shut down and curtail until they could obtain this price. Emphasis was laid on the fact that the adop tion of schedules and the passing of resolutions could of itself accom plish nothing toward the desired end and that, in the end, each individual manufacturer must stand up to the schedule in order that a successful campaign be waged. Mr. W. B. Anderson, of Macon, Ga., one of the keenest and most economical manufacturers in the South, gave the convention by means of blackboard figures a computation of the cost of producing yarns, the figures being the average and as nearly accurate as could be made. He explained that in some cases this schedule of cost might be reduced a little but quite often it would be larger. There was a free discussion participated in by a number of spin ners and several commission men. The committee which made the schedule of selling prices which was adopted by the conference was con tinued to come together at the call of the chairman.
