'iii ri HOTTH ANTI IL Reviewing tho business conditions throughout thc Bouth, thc Manufac turen* Record in tills week's issue re fers to the completion of the final link of the Cliuchflcld railroad through the Mountains of North Carolina an-i the "Breaks of the Handy" to a connection In Kastern Kentucky with the Chesa peake & Ohio as thc fulfillment of one of th?! most ambitious dreamB of the ante-bellum South, which roany years before the war vigorously worked for the building of a through linc from Churlcstoo.S .C., through the high mountain regions of Western Carolina to thc West. It was tho belief of Haync and other South Carolinians, who In those days projected such u road, that its building would turn tho tram? of the West Into the South, and that tho acquaintanceship thus de veloped would make impossible the war which some of the far-seeing men of the Scuth were then fearing might become u reality. Around tho building of this road, now 'completed by the Cllnchfleld extension into Eastern Kentucky, ls woven more of romance, of struggles against overwhelming odds, than havo pYobably over attend ed thc building of any linc In this country. The first 2C0 miles of the Cllnchfleld system from Spartaaburg, S. C., to iDantc, Va., represent a cost of about $126,000 a milo, and the ex tension which bas just been opened has been built at as high a cost, and probably a good many miles nt a much higher figure. This 300-mile road is probably the most expensive new road of that length ever constructed in this country. Thus one by one the dreams of the great business leaders of thu Old South aro , being realized In the completion of railroads projected be fore 1890 and in the development of Southern ports as outlets for the vast commerce to and from tho West which the far-seeing med of that generation knew tho future held in store. At City Point?.?lu thc James river, Virginia, about 1,1,000 men are work ing and our tbs. great plant1 which is being built-by'the'du Pont pbwder in terests. Tho first units In this plant are now completed aad are employing about 3,000 bandB, while about 10,000 men are engaged in construction work on other units. Attention is called by the Manufac turera Record to the Increase in the production of oats in thc .South of 51, 000,006 bushels over -last year's yield, or a Kain of 36 pcrA'nt, as indicative of the trenif Mowara otvetsT?cstion in farming intel ests. The total oat and wheat crop of the South thia year is estimated at 358. 000,000 bushels. While Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and Tennessee, Btstes which for years have been fair ly large wheat producers, have by reason ot weather conditions produced smaller wheat crops than last year, yet on the other hand the central Southern States, Alabama, Arkansas, ?corbin, North Carolina, South Caro lina, Texas and Virginia, have largely Increased their ,w.heat^vproduction, ??orgia nearly doubled ita wheat crop, advancing from 1,600,000 bushels. North Carolina increased its yield by than the total yield of Georgia. The 1,500,000 bushels, this gain being more crop ot North Carolina is reported as 10,800,000 bushels. South Carolina, al though producing somewhat less than Beorgta, nevertheless trebled its wheat crop over 1914, while Texas made a Kain of 6,400,000 bushels, and Virginia >.100,000. The excess ot grain through Sonth eim ports bave shown a very heavy Increase, Newport News alone having exported for thc fiscal year Just ended ?bout 40,000,000 bushels of grain, aa :ompsred with 1,700,000 bushels ship ped from that port last year. At the lame timo Newport News, by reason ot be heavy foreign demand tor coal, in creased its foreign shipments ot coal [rom 3,0*9.485 tons in the preceding ?seal year to 2,45?025 tons for this rear. During the same period more ban 180,000 horses have been shipped rom Newport News to foreign ports. WHh a determination to bring about i larger development in every Imo nf melness, to make the people of their iwn state realizo more fully its ad vantages, and to draw people from )ther sections to thejr state, a large lumber of tba most progressive bual ? ess men la North Carolina bave or ran! xed a state-wide association with i view to carrying on a broad cam paign for constructive, upbuilding rbrk. Thia movement ls but an ex pression of tba browing sentiment anon g the business interests ot thc whole South that tho tim? bas nome or a larger, vision on the part of borne aaople of the opportunities for and '*? necessities for a broader utilisa ion ot natural advantages and co-op eration with upl/uildlngn constructive brees. Reports from alt parts ot the South ind Southwest,indicate an awakening o larger business development. Now enterprises are being established here uaw there, though, of course? not so tctlvely as prier to i last fall. Enter ai ses upon wh'ch work bad been Sue tended ar* being resumed; and con nt ruction ls now taken up on tho bridge to be built over the Ohio river east of l'aducah by the Burlington Hallway system, which will give con nection between the Burlington road und the Nanhvllle, Chattanooga & St Louis railway. This bridge is to cost about 9:1.500,000. SABBATH AM? SOBRIETY. One of thc revelations of the pres ent industrial muddle in England is tbut Sunday work literally drives men to drink. Everyone who has studied thc alco hol problem knows that nothing else so surely impels men to drink as physical exhaustion. British work men have for many months worked harder than usual. The best workers have gone to the front, and thc least skillful and the physically weakest have been left to produce the vail quantities or war supplies needed for the army. Nearly everywhere, in thc shipyards and munitions factories, the men arc working in twelve-hour shifts, seven days a week, often putting in over time. Even if the labor is not bard, the strain of keeping at lt week atfer week, with never a break, becomes in tolerable. Foully even the sober, self respecting workman, with physique weakened and nerves woru, craving relief from the weariness and monot ony, take to drink. Overwork and plenty of money inevitably increase drunkenness. ,. , In Sheffield, says an American cor respondent, tho situation has been bet ter than elsewhere. More effective work have been got out of the men. Many of them have worked eighty or ninety hours a week, and some oven aa much as 120 hours a week, but they have all hsd one day off in seven. Those held to a seven-day-a-week schedule are found almost invariably to drink moro and produce less. It's the old truth which the Israel ites knew four thousand years before the abe of Industrialism, and which mankind has had to learn all over sgatn at intervals ever since. No man can do good work continuously seven days a week "The Sabbath was made for, man." The United States Steel Corporation und tho various other corporations now busy with rush orders for war supplies would do well to take note ot England's experience. THOSE KANSAS CHOPS. Wc bow In humble admiration be fore that wheat story from Dodge City, Kan. It always was a good story, but In Ita latest incarnation lt ls unusually appealing. The Re', "rank Page, according to tho veracl.-r j correspondent who gave the yana to the world, had driven to the town of Wright, a few miles north ot Dodge City, to conduct a prayer meeting. He started back on foot, taking tlio short cut through a 1,500 acre wheat field. At tho prayer meet ing hobbed offered up fervent thanes for'tho bountiful wheat crop, lt was 10 o'clock at night when - the minister started home. The next morning \v: had not arrived thore. His frightened wife began to make Inquiries. He wan not at Wright and was not in Dodge, and he - was nowhere on tho road be tween tho,two towns Two days passed with no word or sign. On the third day an old lady who liad been at Ute prayer meeting sug gested that maybe the pastor had got lost ta the wheat field. A party start ed out systematically searching through the grain-which Is higher and thicker Ulan ever boro re. At last one at the teachers heard a faint voice murmuring na If in prayer. Following the-sound, he came upon the minister Lytttg/CX^L rusted and half-dollrious. and repeating over and over. "Lord, we thank theo for thy bountiful provi dence which has blven Us such a plen tiful crop of wheat." It's BOW Urns to hear from eastern Kansas about Ute little girl who went nto the field ot young corn with her ??thor's lunch, and started right, br? ?ot lost because Ute corn shot up so last it obscured all tho familiar land narks, and she never found her way mi. We hope, though, that nobody viii repeat the yarn about the boy who ;ot lost la the cornfield and climbed ip a corn stalk to see where the house ena, and thus got. Into more troubla han ever, because Ute corn grew fast er than he could climb down. Summing Dp. (Charlotte Observer.) Our correspondents os tho subject >f the Frank case have gone lar .field.
