The Nash ville Canning Factory began opera tion this morning- Only tomato cans are being canned at this time. Later, potato, cabbage, corn, etc., will be canned. Major John Mc Fadden, of Illinois, an expert can ning man, is in charge. The work is being done by the young people o ( the town. This morning when the whistle blew, the sons and daughters of county officials, bankers, merchants and profession al meD were at the factory ready for work. The boys and girls are oat of school now, and they know work is houorable, and so the question of securing labor is not worrying the canning factory peo ple. The boys and girls of Nash ville are made out of just the right sort of stuff. They are making from 50 cents to $1.50 per day, and inonev will be made by the owners of the factory. Numbers and numbers of acres of tomatoes have been planted, and this morn ing the tomato growers began hauling their tomatoes to the fac tory. The factory will prove worth while to the growers of pro- dn9. to the bovs and girls who get employment during the vaca tion period, and to the factory nvnm The factory here is equipped with every modem cou yenieuoe. The boys of Nashville have shown once before this year that they are the light sort. During past year the people of the town ship voted bouds for road im provement. The roads are being innmvwl hv convict labor, but it - r - - j was necessary for someone to drive the dump carts of saud and clay (sand clay roads are being built), and so a number of the mull hnvs of the town sons of leading business men of the town secured positions at 65 ceuts a day. They have stayed manfully by their work, much to the gratification of their pareuts and others who admire boys w'io work. Roads are being improved, the money goes back to the sons of the men who pay the greater part of the tax, and the boys are taught to know that work is honorable. The lesson in regard to the diguity of lalwr is worth while. North Carolina Cam at Spruce Pine. Charlotte Newt. Messrs.
