(io After the Small towns complain ? that bis uitiw draw all the business from rural communities. This U a mistaken idea. All over the country there are, shining examples to prove that manufactur ers, publishers, writers, motion pic ture producers, mill operators ami tumerouH other productive enter prises are established, thrive and dis tribute their products more economi cally from a small town than from a populous center. The small town which will analyze its possibilities and then go after the business can build | itself along sound industrial and com* mercial lines. The Central Illinois Public Service Company of Springfield, Illinois, has issued a folder entitled "Fertile Fields (or Facories." It has not waited for rural towus in Illinois to set forth their advantages, but is going ahead and showin ghow low production costs are possible in the communities in which it operates. I shows the raw material, trans portation and manufacturing re sources in ita. territory . and . gives] utatements of exe<?tivea from some of hecountry's largest manufacturing j plants as to; why they, *s manufact urers, prefer a smaller city as a fae-J tory location. In, eVery instance one of main reasons bited is that living conditions in the small places average better than in a big city; there is a stronger community interest in the success of he industries; employes are of a more permanent nature and own their own homes, thus elimina ting a large part of toe costly labor turnover. hTe Central Illinois Company is do. uij; constructive work and setting an example which can be adopted with profit by wide-awake communities all over the country.* . ' . Sending Money Away. We shall never be a rich state as long as we send so large a proportion of the money we get for tobacco and cotton ^o other states for bread and meat. The freight cost alone is a bigger tax than is imposed by the ?tate or federal government. Until we raise our own hog and hominy our dollars will have legs and run away to the west to pay for meat, hay and j flour.? Raleigh News and Observer. Old Time Honesty. There was a time, according to Judge Milledge L. Bonham, when the fact that a white man in South Caro lina be brought to trial for stealing would be looked upou as a disgrace by everyone. , Ksre indeed were cases of larceny aud similar crimes ever to be found on the dockets of South Car olina courts. * For years and years, the honor of a South Carolinian ha* been an honor above all reproach. Even the severest critic of our people would claim that while a South Carolinian might kill you, -he would not tell you a lie, nor would he steal from you. That same thing applies in large measure to some of the original mountain settle ments of Carolina today. Many a man in our mountains perhaps would not hesitate a moment to do personal harm of extreme violence to one who angered or opposed him, but leave your valuables out before the gaze Of the whole neighborhood and tbey would be unmolested. Times may have changed in many localities, but this ,v?ka certainly the former status^ ? Anderson Mai. , i,<A F^st Baby. ... Wilmington,- N. C., N6v. 28.?

A telephone wire might be termed a public highway, but rather a high way of speech than one. for transpor tation. However, this fact does not seem to be generally known, at least not among our animal friends. From Wilmington, Del., comes the story oi a squirrel that travels a mile every , day by telephone wire for its meals, i crawling all the distance along the j wires. William Kra.use, a ? grocer, some little time ago coaxed the squir re} down from a telephone pole by of fering it nuts, and since then the squirrel has made its appearance every day. Out of curiosity, Krause followed it one morning and found that its, nest was in tho woods fully a mile distant. ? Telephone News.
