Assembly Gets
ReadytoRiot,
Already Riled
Lawmakers Have Been Wrangling
For Near Three Months
Now.
(By CARL OOERCII1
It wouldn't surprise me In the
slightest to Ase a riot start up In Ra
leigh at any time.
The boys are getting so mad that
there’s no telling what will happen
next. They’re righting each other
now, instead of lighting lor lower
taxes.
Out in the world thou gocst,
Oh, treasure of my heart!
Now hark to what 1 tell thee,
Ere moving to depart.
Become a lawyer if you wish;
A doctor or a barber.
Against these not a single grudge
Doth mankind ever harbor.
Become a lanner or a clown—
Or even be a waiter.
But for the love of Pete, my son—
Don't be a legislator!
7 he short ballot bill got sat on
last week. And that uncovered a lot
of opposition which, until then, had
kept itself mow or less in hiding.
You see, there are some members of
the legislature who never have been
and who never can be actual lead
ers. They resent the idea of anyone
else attaining any prominence along
those liner. Thr Hon. O. Max tuts
been dcing some mighty effective
leading during the last couple of
months, and sorry of the boys don't
like tt. They’re now snapping and
Tipping at his heels like a bunch of

New Uses For Cotton Brings On
Optimistic Spirit In Industry
New York Exchange Told Of Recent
Development* Which Help
Industry.
New York, March 27.—Important
developments in the creation of new
uses for cotton and the pronounced
improvement in the cotton manu
facturing Industry of this country
during the last two months were de
scribed by George A. Sloan, presi
dent of the Cotton Textile institute,
at a meeting of the New York Cot
ton exchange.
Mr. Sloan spoke optimistically of
the results accomplished by the cot
ton manufacturing Industry, with
the co-operation of the United
States departments of agriculture
and commerce, in expanding the
consumption of cotton goods, and of
the effect of such activities.
Sales Volume Galas.
"The volume of sales of cotton
cloth since January 1,” said Mr
Sloan, "has been heavier than dur
ing the same period in any recent
year. These large sales have com
pletely changed the position of the
industry. While unfilled orders are
now approaching peak levels, stocks
on hand, the cause of concern only
a iew montns ago, nave diminished
to the lowest volume ever recorded.
On many classes of goods, stocks
have been /educed to the minimum
yardage on which current business
can be transacted.
“Notwithstanding this gratifying
expansion of business, the mills are
taking a conservative atltude re
garding production because of the
conviction throughout the Industry
that the recent favorable trend in
cotton textile should not be regard
ed as a genuine recovery until the
general business situation shows
further improvement. The excess

capacity for production of cotton
goods has been corrected to an Im
portant extent by the discontinu
ance of night employment of a'ometi
and minors In a large proportl tn of
the mills.
Sees Stabilisation.
“There Is a growing tendency to
discontinue night operations entire
ly and to concentrate production on
the day shlff. These developments,
together with further observance of
greater uniformity of running time,
promise to go far in stabilizing em
ployment.”
Among the new uses for cotton
goods described by Mr. Sloan Is the
insertion of a heavy layer of water
proof cotton fabric between the two
layers of wood planking In the holds
of motor boats and light cruisers
which does away with the necessity
of calking.
Oranges from Florida are now
coming Into the New York market
In a newly developed open meshed
cotton bag for retail distribution.
Increasing amounts of cotton cloth
are being used for cloth stationary,
maps, menu cards,, and advertising
posters.
