In New.York City recently for the annual conventions of the Associated Press and the 4 American Kewspsper PublUhers' Association, were amaied to learn of NeWj Tork- Clty'a big unemployment problem; they could not realise, that so many thousands more men In this city than there were Jobs for them to fill, when the vast country outside of the metropolis, more particu larly.

In the rural communities. are of fering splendid opportunities, not only in, financial returns but in health and happiness from being out' of doors much of the time. Thousands and thousands of acres of land throughout the South are only-awaiting the necessary abor to turn them Into fertile -fields hundreds and hundreds of manufactur ing plants need only, the operatives to give them an unheard-of prosperity. while In various other lines of endea or there are openings and. all rof these at wages, fa i' in excess of those formerly paid.

How. Is the unemployment situation around Rocky': Mount and the eastern section of Carolina?" -was asked of J. Lk' Horne. and pub lisher of The Rocky Mount Telegram and a member of Board of Directors of The Associated. Press, for theSouth ern Division.

AU of these fellows out of employment in this city certainly could 'find work to. do In the South- -where, the opportunities; were never greater: '-'We could not take care of all of them ln 'Rocky, Mounts Per haps not the State-, but the.

Similar conditions In the western part of the State were 'described by J. B. fehemu. editor anfl owner of the Concord Times, and for more than twenty.

five years Secretary of the North Carolina ress Association, who knows con ditions as they are In every and Corner of the Commonwealth. He said that Western North Carolina was never more prosperous than now. and. In chorus, with Messrs. Home and Dunn, told of the fct that hardly a 'farmer in -tin whole State' now tint does not own his own automobile and in every way enjoys Improved living conlltions.

His, home la better; hUy surroundings Improved in every way. Where there were formerly small shacks, for living quarters, there are now attractive farm houses, end in nearly every Instance they are painted, and In perfect but gives the scene. The barns and Stables even reflect this general -prosperity and. the right use of the improved conditions. Labor shortage has been a drawback for.

The, statement of the -Commission Is to the effect that the station is located lb the middle of a section which la al ways saturated With water, that an underground lake laps" sides ef the station, and that it Is only necessary te dig' a' few feet Into the sand to have large quantities of water come gushing up. During the building Of the subway this flow of water was mastered by thick layers of asphslt and brick, but after the waterproofing material was laid the steady pressure caused -It to craca.
