"Busi- . . i . i i ness in tne soutn is again on tne upgrade," says Fairfax Harrison, piesident of the Southern Railway company, m his annual report wmen as just been made public. ''The output of the mills and fac oHes has been steadily increasing dating the past few months," the report continues. "An outstanding feature has been tne operation ot the cotton mills, a happy -contrast with the strike-ridden cotton manufactur- Tjr centers of the east. "In July, 1922, according to figures compiled by the United States census ureau, 96.97 per cent ot the spinaies i mills in the cotton producing states ware active, wane in otner mam the percentage of active spindles was ohlv 78.53. During that month tne average active spindle hours in the south was 2oO compared with i40 m other states. In the twelve months nded July 31, 1922, the mills m the cotton producing states consumed 3, 733,147 bales wihch compares with a consumption ot sr,r8,. tY caies oy mills in the other states. "The more favorable conditions tor Hip cotton manufacturlner industry in the south are reflected not only in operating statistics but also in the ropnrd rtf new mill construction. Dur ing the same twelve months, according to the Census Bureau reports, there was a net increase of 245,831 spindles in southern nulls and a net increase of only 79,6'7 spindles in mills in tates outside of the south. A survey-k of new mills under construction or tN nrnsnect indicates a continuation of the tendency shown by these fig ures. . .. ....

VIRGINIA TECH IS NEXTv OPPONENT OF DAVIDSON Davidson Oct.- 20. Virginia Polly technic Institute, the next opponent of the Davidson locals this season, looms up by virtue of their game with-. Cen tre Saturday as the biggest thing, on the Red and Black schedule. The Geor gia .Tech game' has ahvavs been re garded" as the piece de1 resistance of the year, but now Virginia Tech, a team that outfought . and , outplayed, but their penalties prevented outscor- ing, the Kentucky Colonels will be seen on Sprunt Field the Vildcats own backyard Saturday. The course the chances of a David son victory are slight but the game will hardly fail to develop thrills from start to finish. That Davidson spirit that a week or so ago held Tech to thirteen points on Grant Field will go far to uphold the tradition that the Wildcats do not lose on their home grounds. For many years no team has gained a victory at Davidson, and f or five autumns the Red and Black goal ine on Sprunt field has not been cross-: ed by their foe. This -record is one to e proud of, and the Davidsonians with their backs against a wall and with the foreknowledge of the mettle of -their foe will fight like Wildcats Saturday. - . v '" . .. .',. r This big .. game wjih. the Virginia Tech Gobblers is the crowning event of Hems-Coming day, October 21. This idea of setting a day for all alumni to return to their alumni mates and get together with the students like the old days is a new one at Davidson and the success of their initial attempt will do much to determine the policy of the college in this line for the fu ture. . It is confidently expected that the biggest crowd' that has ever lined the Wildcat field will be on hand to support the representatives of the Old North States in their attempt to stem the formidable invasion from the Old Dominion. ... The Davidson season so far has been rather disappointing, considering the wealth of material that was on hand, but even so it is much better than this time last year when the Red and Black had won one and lost three, making but 14 points to their opponent's 108. This season the counts reads, won one, lest two, tied one; Davidson 37, Op ponents 33. Not any too encouraging, but still the Davidsonians never seem to get started until they strike the big rivals on the late part of the sea son. " :' " . -1 It is hard to account for the poor showing "in Charlotte last week. That Wake Forest had. everything ! to win and nothing to lose outfought r the Wildcats is the probable solution, though Davidson supporters; hate to admit that fact. Of course the absence of Spratt Moore did much to cripple Davidson's open style of play and hurt the morale of the team considerably. Capt. Moore is still sick but has e-one home this week in an ef f oi't to hasten his recuperation and get in the big game Saturday. Moore is worty of a. place on any eleven in the boutn and it is worth the price of admission just to see his brand of football, and it's not going too far to say that the team that stopped Centre will have, its task cut out to stop the midget Wild cat captain, ,'; . -.''.: Aim 1 yf V. . . b WMISTICE MT Jlgr HICKORY-"'-" WANTS MEMOMAk FOR BISHOP ' KltGO Bishop Denny Suggests That Methodists Honor Memory of Late Bishop Preachers Are Told :k to Bible and Those Who Stray From Path Are Scored by Minister. - HolXTt JT Ludlaml (below), sub ' urban -conductor, is candidate fo .asseinblyrnArt : iix Xassau Countyi X.
