the past. “Carolina'' C 'the newest ir.
States.
To the uninformed, “Central Caro
lina" is the name already given. to
another State in the Union several
months ago tty a number of resident",
in the border counties of North and
South Carolina, who were in favor
of seceding from the two States and
forming one of their own. The plan
got started no one knows where, but
it occasioned quite a bit of comment
and some publicity gradually dying
cut.
But the proponents of the newest
State, “Carolina,” would go lack a
bit in history and turn back time
in its flight. When the country was
first settled, there was no Carolina
as everyone knows, but “Carolina”, a
domain which took in both the pre
set t States and made ijui’c a respec
table showing on the man, or would
have, if there had been any maps.
And there may have been mans then
but any way. one local ‘‘stove league”
gang is in favor of changing the two
States back into one.
“There are many advantages to
-such a move,” one of the “number;”
said today. “And of course there are
some disadvantages. But I believe the

advantages greatly offset the disad
vantages.
“Mix the progressive blood of
North Carolina with the more con
servative of South Carolina and we
should soon have some State! Of
course, we have two Rood ones now,
but put them both together, and lit
tle old Texas would have to look to
her laurels.
“Of course, sectional and State
pride would have to be overcome.
But that could be arranged by no
educational program.”
Taxes could be lowered by such a
combination, according to its champ
ions. There would be no need for one
of the Governors now in authority,
and that would of course ruin one pci
tectly good joke—"What did the Gov*
oi nor of North Carolina say,” etc.
Only one Capitol would have to be
maintained, and that would not likely
be in either of the cities now capital
of the State.
“Charlotte would likely gain bv
such a combination” the “member''
here continued, because it would be
strongly in the running as the capi
tal city of Carolina. It is almost cen
trally located, and his almost every
thing needed. Of course Rock Hill,
Salisbury, and several other smaller
cities are also centrally located; and
the present two State capitals would
offer a log fight for the honor.”
From an educational standpoint the
new State would have many advan
tages over the present system, as
many State colleges would be com

bincd and economy would be gain
ed.
Many historical arguments still
held by citizens of the two States
would be settled by such a Union, it is
pointed out. Whether Andrew Jackson
was born in North or South Carolina
would be no longer matter. It is. cer
tain he was born in “Carolina.”
Carolina would command much
more respect in national politics, busi
ness and industry generally. Its re
presentation in national politics would
be greatly increased. In point of
acreage mileage, and wealth it would
be near the top in the United States.
‘‘Such a combination of the two
; present States would cause a new in
flux into the new State by nvanufac-j
j taring industries” the local man de
clared. “This would becauscd by small
1 ei taxes and larger buying gield.-.’ |
There are many good argument.,
for a “Carolina, and it is much more
logical than the plan offered for a!
third State, according to those hero'
who would like to see it tried.

duction of cotton and food crop",
within tho inuncipal boundary was
an item of consequence in the agri
cultural-reports If memory serves
the local paper of one of our smaller
towns, a hustin gemgryo city withal,
bold.v stated recently that 300 bales
of cotton were produced this year
within the city limits. Name isn’l
called here because the publication
may have been an oversight arid
there is no disposition to embarrass
friends. Hut all of this is preliminary
to saying that any of our North
Carolina towns and cities than rank
1 igh in agricultural production need
t ot be ashamed. They have aothfr.tr on
the nations chief metropolis, or New
h ork has nothing on them. The re
cord shows that there are five farm
within the borug of Manhattan. The
•-total' acreage in farm land is 72 a
gainst I ts last year. Two mules eight
horses and seventeen dairy cows
make up the livestock on the five
farms with the l»itr city boundaries.
The valhe of the 72 acres of city
farm land, with buildings decreased
within five years from $232,872 to
$20tt,000 hut possibly that was tax
value The land alone is valued at
$2,479 un acre, which is evidence that
farm land in New York city isn’t so
highly valued. We have farm land
down this way rated almost as high
not on the tax books, of course.
