THURSDAY OCTOBER 21, 1926 SOME MILL MEN WHISTLING TO KEEP UP THEIR COURAG (From Manufacturers Record) "Southern competition in the te tile field is a bugaboo that has bee much overemphasized," says "or important industrial authority 1 Maine," as quoted by the Wa Street Journal. "Fear of the Sout and its growing strength in textile is slowly passing in the North, the same "important industrial ai thority" is further quoted. This "important industrial authoi ,*,r TUoin??" would have come no&J IIJ 1U *uu*uv er to true apperception of the fact if he had realized that New Enj land's fear of Southern competitioi when first it began to loom on th horizon has changed into resigns tion in face of a formidable cei tainty. The human mind cannot fee the lively fears of a fresh apprehen sioa indefinitely; gradually it estl mates the danger and settles dowi to a state of acceptance of incon trovertible facts, or else buries it! head, ostrichwise, iu th? sands o: denial. It Is this artless dodge thai is chosen bV the Wall Street Jour ual's writer|thus: "Contrary! t0 this authority, when the South has proceeded far enough in this cycle of industrial development and increasing wages- so as to be on a more even keel with N^w Bnglad in the matter of hours and wages, the North will again assume undisputed supremacy in textiles. Skill of the Southern textile worker is by far inferior to that of the New England worker, whose ancestors, generations before, plied their trade that has given him natural bent for the work." So wild a prophecy as that con talned in the first sentence above needs no reply. No man is gifted with the infallible foresight apparently claimed by the author of that forrecast. The complete falsity of the second seuteuce is attested by many men who operate mills in both sections and who find their Southern mill help fully equal in skill and far superior in tractability to that of New Engand. In many cases the etire equipment of large mills has been moved bodily from the old mill buildings in New England to new mill buildigs in the South for no reason whatsoever other than the allaround superiority of Southern mill help. But the Wall Street Journal's writer spills the beans before he goes very far in his discussion. Says he: "Northern mills seeking expansion are looking to the South, of course, because NewEngland is somewhat crowded." True sections of New England are "somewhat crowded." but large areas are still lying idle. If labor is wanted, labor can be had. All other conditions .being favorable, New England would have to be far more than "somewhat crowded" to force so remarkable an exodus of a great industry as that which the industry has been executing, especially when that exodus is from a section of such great advantages in climate and skill and energy of its workers Into one which all factors excpet the single one of available space are so adverse as this dispatch from the Boston News Gureau would have us believe. There in that one little sentence is revealed the whole situation. New England mill men, driven to a last stand by Southern competition, very naturally hang on like grim death to tlietr existing mill properties, in which bo much of their wealth haa been sunk, but wisely refuse to spend a ??Bf on expanding them, choosing rather to make their expansions in a more favored region, Into which, , eer^tually, if their /New Englanjj properties / become wholly unproductive, they or their successors can eventually migrate. The reference to New England mill workers as descended from skilled ancestors of generations ago is a huge joke. The New England natie mill worker of generations ago long since disappeared from the mills and have been succeeded in turn by French-Canadians, then Greeks, Poles, Lithuanians, Italians and other aliens, who are very inferior in every way to the mill labor of the South. The New England mill owners fully recognize this fact. READ THE POLK CO. NEWS * 1 OPEN < i i ] [ We have opened the Lunch \ J J Room formally run by Dinty ' J| Moore.

E Landscape Painter* A well-known , picture dealer x- Chicago was talking to one of t ?n artists whose output he had exhlfc te ed and sold for a number of succei n ful yeats. "What you ought to d< 11 he said, "is to go down to the B1 fi Kidgo Mountains in Western Cai >s lina and really paint that counti No one yet has dared to do it, b j- you can if you will. There's a litt town called Tryon, which is one r- the most attractive spots in tl r- whole region and 1 know you c< a get fresh inspiration there." Hawrency Mazzanovich took M a O'Brien's advice, anj in the fall e 1926 he arrived in Tryon. He hi i- never regretted this move and 1 has "dared" to register on canvj 1 the brilliant beauty of the hills an i- valleys of the Blue Kidge. ! Mr. Mazzanovich was born on I vessel off the California cosat. Hi - father, a Daimation soldier of fo II tune, had married a Venetian gentl t i woman and had wandered about tb t j world, and even after his family ha grown in numbers and in the yeai he carried them from place to Plac i interferring with a regular educatio but not with the development c unusual talent. Two brothers hav made names for themselves as d( signers of stage settings, Lawrenc as an artist, and all of them hav musical feeling inherited from th father. Lawrence studied art in the Chi cago Art Museum, married Aum Holden of Chicago, and then studiei in France for several years. Return ing to America with his work hi met with almost iniediate and mark ed success. Several of his paintingi have been bought by institutioni and many are hanging in privati galleries.

He has not yel had a formal showing of his can canvases, but groups of people have visited his studio and carried awaj specimens of his workmanship. His is a genius that springs fron work.
