Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord; for he hath de livered the sou! of the poor from the hand of the evil doers. Jeremiah 20:13. The Tarheel State A 252 page edition of the Charlotte Observer, the largest edition of a newspaper ever issued in the south, calls public attention to the amazing progress and prosperity of North Carolina. Over a thousand pictures illustrate the agricul tural progress of the state and an equal number of special articles portray development, which is summarized in the terse announcement "North Carolina pays more federal taxes than any ten or twelve southern stales." The occasion of this mammoth issue is the celebration by the stale of the 150th anniversary of the issuance of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, wherein residents of Mecklenburg county asserted on May 20, 1775 their in dependence of British rule continental congress over a anniversary has been observed Throughout the hook-worm belt, the Ku Klux Klan burns its fiery crosses in triumph, the Anti-Saloon League finds easy pickings in the way of collections against the demon rum, the hell-fire revivalists do ing souls for dollars, and all unite to fight the devil in the form of evolution, but not North Carolina. The spirit of the old Mecklenburgcrs still fanaticism. Georgia permits peonage not "white, prolestant and gentile," Florida varies the skin ning of suckers in swamp-lands with' fatally flogging en slaved convicts, Tennessee forbids the teaching of science to her clay-eaters but none of this for North Carolina. The light of liberty, though it dickers at times, still burns there as of old. Evolution is not lynchers are penalyzed, even a North Carolina has just the south, but the north as well, by trying, convicting and sentencing a mob of the chivalrous protectors of southern womanhood, who broke jail, carrying away and horribly mutilating a Jew traveling man suspected of assaulting a white girl at Williamston. Twenty-eight were arrested, six made complete confessions, the ring-leader got thirty years, his assistants six to ten years, those who drummed up the crowd got two to three years, and those who look no active part, but were among those present were fined $500 each and the Jew proven innocent. This conviction of lynchers, bearing out the favorable impression made" by the Charlotte Observer, is convincing evidence that North Carolina is flection of the south, but the f Flax Importations The market for llax in the L'nited States is shown not only by the importation of nearly $100,000,000 of linen fabrics and products but also by the importation of llax fibre, of which we do not begin to raise enough to supply the limited needs of the little manufacturing dime. Federal statistics show that in l'.vl'i there were imported into the United States 21o(i tons of hackled llax fibre, valued a $2,181,391 and 5281 Ions of fibre not hackled, valued at ?1,filO,K7(i, the total importations being valued at $:!,72,270. In 1021 there were imported 1011 tons of hackled fibre valued at SUI.'S.IOI and 2878 tons of fibre not hackled, valued at $800, IS!) a total of $2,00:(,.".!t:!. The decrease in im portations from the previous year was due to the fibre not being available, either in Europe or Canada. In 1923 Canada exported to the United States 1035 tons of fibre valued at $2.'!:!,878 and in 1021, 1008 tons, valued at $181,890. The other importations were from Europe. On account of the excellent quality of the fibre raised in the Willamette valley, where climate conditions are as near ideal as in Ireland and Flanders, this valley is the logical site for the development of a great linen textile industry which should in time rival the cotton textile industry of New England. As the automobile industry centered at Detroit, the tire industry at Akron so should the linen industry center at Salem and the way to assure it is to speed-up the financing of the proposed $010,000 mill.

I drew the curtain uside so that I could watch tht-ju. The room was not very large, just a supper-room, and afi it was empty their voices echoes so that I could hear every thing they said. "You know that I love you, Na thalie," Leland said. "I had to bring you up hero where we would ho alone so that I could tell you. You do care for me, don't you? Tell me that you do!" Nathalie drew back. Ho held one of her hands; ahc twisted her arm, trying: to free her hand, but could not. "Why I'vfi-lviiown you so, short a time I don't know " she paid. I cou 11 tell from her voice that she was nervous. "Oh. you do know you must!" he insisted. "Why do you go on in this way, not married, and yet not free why don't you divorce your husband, and marry me?" Now, Nathalie had talked with me about doing that very thing. of course, yet when lie spoke to her about it I could ee that rath er startled Iter the way in which she turned to hint, sharply, show ed me that she hadn't really con sidered doing it. "Nathalie tdea.se " he adi, ind suddenly took her in his arms. At that moment there was n flare of light, from a flashlight pow der that had been st-t off on the further side of the room, by the window. Nathalie cried out in amazement and just then the girl in red came running across the room, from her hiding place by the window. "Ho this is what you have been loing -making love t another VOO KIN BET TOUR LIFE HE'LL NEWER TOR.&ET ME THANK. COOONE-bs THE CAT lis CONE OI92S bv lnr'L Fcaturc Scnvice. Inc. Multiplication TUESDAY, woman when you were pretending to be true to me!" she exclaimed to Leland. "Well, it can't go on. I've got proof now that's all I need." The man who had been con cealed behind the window curtain stepped forward with his camera in his hand. "I've got all the proof I need " tho girl in red went on, motioning toward him. "What does ths mean?" Nathalie cried, drawing back. "What is It?" "Oh, you know what it means lie's been making love to you. and you've been encouraging him," the girl told her. "You think that because you have money you can flirt with any man you like. Well, this Is tho time you've gone too far. This pretty little love scene has been photographed the pic ture will look nice in the papers tomorrow." "Hut you can't you wouldn't" Nathalie turned to l'hll Leland. "Can't you do something? Isn't there any way of stopping tills?" Leland shook his head. "There's nothing to do. Unless " he turned to the girl in red, "un less you'll let me buy you off. Money's always talked with you. How much do you want for Ibis pictu re?" "How mueli? Ten thousand dol lars! And you haven't got ten cents I know you!" He turned to Nathalie again, helplessly. "I guess we're done for, then," he said. "She'll go' through with this I know her.' "lint if It's money, I could pet that," Nathalie told him. J low easily she was walking into their trap! "I can't have litis picture published. My family oil, I can't have that!" "Js your pride worth ten thous- 6a.V THE dQi I It I . . J MAY 26, 192S nt id dollars?" the girl in red inde ed. "I'hll's isn't. Give me your pearls us security, and you can have him." Nathalie was unclasping the ponrls that ncwtled about her throat when I tdepped forward, t felt that the little game hud gono too far. -Nathalie, don't do that," I said quietly. IMtil Leland nnd tho girl in red whirled n round to face me, as I walked over to Nat hallo and iwt my arm around ber. "Uon't let them frighten you," I said to Iter. "This Is justJ)lack niail, and unless this whole" affair Is dropped at once, there'll bo sori ous trouble, but not for you." "What do you mean?" l'hil Le land demanded of me. "Oh, you know what I mean that you and this girl framed this (wholo thing to trap Mrs. Jordan Well, the little plan baa fallen through and unless you got out of here and cease to annoy Iter, tho report that was made to her hus band by private detective this morning will be turned over to tho police." There hadn't been any detective, of course and Nathalie's husband knew nothing of the whole affair. Hut I didn't think it necessary to stick to the truth, under tho cir cumstances. Thil Leland turned so pale that I knew there must be something in his past that he didn't want known. He blustered for a mo ment or two more, then turned and left the room, with the girl in red and the man with the camera. And Nathalie, still bewildered, let Nick and mo take her home. r did not sec her the next day, but the morning following that I met her when 1 was out for my daily walk. "I never can thank you enough for what you did for me, Nancy," she said. "I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate your help. I wonder if you'd do some thing more for me lake a message, to my husband for me." Tomorrow Tangled Tit reads By Gcorue Mr.lfnnus VVHER.EL llJ THAT box? i jovt Pound CAT OOT bONE-l eoo-f DONE TOOK.
