Appears like twelfth hour flowers. March trotted in like a lamb, but was not the honor of following Feb ruary’s first extra day in fpur years enough to calm the winds 7 These gland specialists that still search for a way of instilling “pep’’ in old age through a monkey “fountain of youth’’ should try boll weevil glands. The insignificant little cot ton pest has never learned how to die. The success of the Cleveland county fair next fall will be determined by the support given it now by citizens of the county. The final drive for stock will be made this week. PERK IIP PESSIMIST. To tlie pessimist who sees the dark er side of everything: and who appar ently believes the cloud with the “si! , ver lining” is draped in black, the re - cent report of the Federal Reserve —* Bank for the fifth district must bj somewhat of a jar. “Business is jus* 4 as good as it was in 1923, is the tone of the entire reviejv. An e lded touch • is the statement that the purchasing power of the fifth district is consider ably greatewthan it was one year ago. "Despite the lack of snap and en ■■■ thusiam evident a year ago, businest in the district during January was equal in volume to that of the same month last year,” says the review. * ’ Business one year ago seemed greater because the business world was recov ■* »r ag from the slump and depression which began in 1920 and lasted until the fall of 1922 The familiarity of one and one-half years prosperity has (lulled the outlook, the proseprity re ■ mains. The present strength of busi * ness is based upon good agricultural yields as a whole; skilled and unskilled - labor that have been fully employed at , good wages; less extravagance among the people; increased insurance bust ' ness; increased bank deposits * over last year; higher priced tobacco and larger retail sales among the varied department stores The textile indus try as a whole is reported as mark ing time while the Carolines are be lieved to be in better financial shape than they have been since 1920. SOMETHING AT THAT. “Daniels-far President” clubs con tinue to spring up allover North Carolina, Ironi Currituck to Chero kee.^The state is boosting a “favorite son” in a stronger style than in many - elections, but with no hostility what soeevr to the Raleigh editor, this paper hardly believes the hopes of his supporters will ever be realized. 1 However, there is something to be ■ gained for the state in boosting him. < ' hert“ are «»ther national offices. The democratic candidate for the presi dency must have a running mate, and i moreover if the next regime is oth-1 <>r ‘han the Grand Old Party there will be cabinet seats to fill.and Dan- i •els has at least shown his ability along that line. The Daniels boom is strong in the j stateand is developing strength in Washington and elsewhere, but there i are other forces besides booms and boosts that must be met. The High Point Enterprise about coincides with our idea when they say: “We could like for the state’s delegation in the convention cast their first vote for! a “favorite son," and then, if the ! Daniels’ prospects are negligible be! • free to adjust itself to the situation as its own intelligence might direct”. Of course the unexpected may han. pen and Daniels be nominated. Think ing as we do now it is not at all like ly. but at the same time the eonven Don could do worse as the Statesville Daily says: “We don't think Mr. Daniels ' is! presidential timber simply because we I know him as one of our citizens who! . *R n°t popular with a lot of his homo folks for one reason or another. And '•et if we are candid we will admit ♦hat he outranks the man for whom democrats voted and shouted four years ago. “Mr. Daniels*is not of course in the ylflss of men like Wilson—th«4e are every few men in that class—hut we may be shouting, before the summer' is ended, for one who does not sur pass him cither in .ability or charac ter." From an early outlook, what i« pv wPh John W. Davis, of West "Tinm. for President, with Jo. Dan as his running mate? Southern Places New Engines in Service Sixty-six new locomotives, of which fifty are freight and sixteen passen gerf have b‘gen placed in service with in the last year by the Southern rail way. The order for this additional motive power, which will play a big part in the movement of the South I ern's freight and passenger servici ! in 1924, was placed‘in the spring of 1 1923. The locomotives were construct 1 ed at the Richmond plant of the American Locomotive company. A re cent issue of the -Southern Railway News Bulletin says: “Ten of the new locomotives are duplicates of the present light Mikado type freight engines. Forty are the heavy Mikado type for freight serv ice. The 16 passenger locomotives arc of the heavy Pacific type. “All of the new engines are equip ped with the latest devices for econo mical operation an 1 fuel conservation including feed water heaters, super heaters, brick arches and power re verse gears. The mechanical stokers of the Pacific differ from any other stoker in use on the Southern iu that the coal is fed into the fire boxf'by the mechanically operated shovels in stead of steam jets. "The heavy Mikados and heavy Pa fics are the largest and heaviest lo comotives of these types ever oper ated on the lines of the Southrn rail way system. F,xtreme care has been exercised in the designs of both of these types to insure well proportion ed and efficient machines. The engines are as nearly perfectly counterbal anced as possible, special attention having been paid to this feature. In all types the interchangeability of parts has been followed as far gis practicable.” (Continued from page five.) —Collecting Taxes—Sheriff H. A.

The Jones quartet as well as a number of other quartets, together with Professor Loudy and the Jones music school students will be on hand to furnish music. All singers and t^e public generally are cordially invited. —A Record Size Egg—Dover M. Mull breeder of fine chickens at Dou ble Shoals has a 11 months old single comb brown Leghorn pullet which has nroduced a record egg so far as size is concerned. The egg weighs 3 2-3 ounces, measures 8 1-2 inches around the long way and 6 inches around the middle. Th? egg has been sent to The- Star office and is a record in size. It might be worse.
