The Fallacy of Crime.
Wilmington Star.
Pat Crowe, who made $92,000 in j
a train robbery and another $50,- i
00 through a successful kidnaping, !
was arrested in New York yesterday :
for begging in a subway. He drew «
jail sentence for vagrancy and will ;
be a .public charge when his month
on Blackwell’s 'island has expired.
Pat is a splendid example of the
fallacy of crime. Among the 400 of
the underworld he must be given
high rank. He made a small fortune
by kidnaping the son of a wealthy
Western packer and collected ran
som. Later he added to his income by ;
holding up trains and other pictur-1
9?que forms of banditry that paid
high dividends.
Still later a sentimental public has
enabled him to live in fair comfort
by subscribing to magazines in
vrtiich he published his “memoirs”.
Now the millionaire crook is on his
last legs, a beggar.
The money which he amassed at
various times far exceeds the life
earnings of the average man, who
usually may retire at his age wirfi a
living income ssured.

Hi sources and Future.
Chimney Rock, Jan. 1—That the
credit of having: made a most valu
able suggestion a year ai.ro' for the
upbuilding and development of the
State of North Carolina belongs to
li'v.n S. Cobb, is the opinion’exprey
red here by Col. C. H. Anderson of
New Verk City, now on his second
trip to Western North Carolina with
in the past sis months.
“Having seen a great many of the
statements of Mr. Cobb relative to|
North Carolina come true, ■ vm with
in twelve months from I lie time they!
were made." remarked ( ol. Andersen j
“I am willing to acknowledge that I
be at least thought of them first and j
started the publicity bull rolling.
W hen he issued his bookWhich ope: -1
ed with the statement, that Wl ; t:
North Carolina Needs is a l’n si
agent, and that she has practically j
everything else many looked upon il
literally and came to see about it:
found that Mr. Cobb,had not rmphns-i
ired the possibilities here half enough;
Other thing- in Mr. Cobh’s- book which:
particularly appealed to me were ‘he!
following statement:.:
‘•North Carolina has pracl i.caJl.v J
everythin*? which conduces to com-1
fottnble all-year round livin'? f, r the
average human being. She is the;
most. up-and-coming state in, the
South, if nut the Union. She need:;!
a publicity agent, for in there times!
the better the ware you may have to j
offer the *?reater i . the necessity for
n live publicity stall'. Trade doesn't i
follow tlie flag; trade follows the well!
devised propaganda, campaign. And
printer’s ink makes, the best: poraibV
liniment for suppling up the point!- or'1
commerce. Accept rv< substitute be-!
eause there iru't any. A town, a i
Commonwealth, a. Nation even, can
do with a press department jr.st a- j
well as a circus can, or a Presidential!
candidate. Kyun judgement day, when !
it comes, will have its special press'!
agent. Then'll be r.n iviru of the!
morning Trumpet out giving the <>:»•-'

"Kurthi’r along in bis remarkab] > j
book which all Norjh ('ai'idinian; !
should read it save 'As for Klorid,'

“Mr. f\)bb farther s\i.,« in his ,
book that perhaps in duo course of!
time North Carolina will take the
friendly hint thrown out. awl nl1 of

pointment of a Conservation C mi
irissiii really a public relations do-1
1 artwent of publicity, but the Gayer-!
bar is going a long wav towards the |
method pointed out by this book. The 1
Old North State is surely now step-!
pint' alone at a pace sufficiently -ac-*
tive to make even the eptimistu pro-1
dications of Me. Cobh look like piker!
statements. When the State came out ;
ot its trnher she t ame a rearing and
a bustling- just like he said it would j
She just naturally look hold of the
wings of the morning. Western North
Carolina with its half a hundred big
developments is attracting the atten
tion- of the whole Country and bring
ing true the dream predicted by tab
author tM months ago.”
About (let rgc Jones.
(W. O. Saunders in Elizabeth City
Independent.)
George H. Jones, who started with
thi Standard (hi comy ai , as a sten
oern pher on ,-t salary at Sl.i a week!
when he war 18 years old was ole. t
ed chairman of the board of direc
tors of the company the ether day.*
I don’t know George II. Jones tin
new chief executive of the Standard
Oil company; I never heard of him
until a week ago; but I bet I can
give you the high lights in the history
of the man who in .'15 years rose from
the ranks of a humble stenographer
to the highest executive position in
the greatest industrial organization
in the world.
Beginning on a small salary in an
unimportant position George Jones
iid not begin at once to make inquir
ies about the place to find out what
it he r stenographers were being paid
Fie didn’t pry around to see how lit
tle other employes were doing in the
<if a day’s;' -work ami d< i' ■
f »! to Ik' a goat and <I<. any more
ili.-m any one else was (loins;.
When soma older employe uni > id
ed extra;-work on him he* took the ev
(‘.* work upon himself withoutn whin;
per or a protest. When he ohm.fed
t he fact that he war doing as imvh
work in a day as the average e:u
1)1 eve in two, he dhhi't bellyache ; <1
toll everybody in the office except
the boss that he was entitled tov.toie
, ay. He just, kept rijjlir on doinff the
Work of two men getting down .earl-,
iir in the morning and staying alt-*■
til a office hours if necessary to chur
ip his work.
While doing all this he never pit
:■ d himself or burned the midnight
oil searching the want-ad-columns of
the daily papers looking for a sV'.cr
job,
(o or go Jones, fiftoen-dollar-av.eck
i lx nogi apher, knew that in any or
g. nii-.ution,, be it large or small, there
is certain promotion and ample" pay.
