Raleigh, March 27—North Carolina is given a decided boost in the April issue of the American Magazine through an article written by Miss Mildred Harrington, an old Aberdeen girl, now a member of the American staff in New York City.
Miss Harrington chose as her subject Mrs. Mary Martin Sloop and her school at Crossnore, in Avery county. She wrote her story in the form of an interview with Mrs. Sloop and illustrated it with several pictures. The treatment goes into details as to how this famous North Carolina woman, a sister of President W.J. Martin of Davidson College, happened to land at Crossnore and follows her efforts to the present.
The writer of the article, Miss Harrington, is well known throughout North Carolina. She started her newspaper career in this state and, soon after she went to New York for some special work, she was “discovered” by the American which was not long in securing her as a member of its staff.
Another boost for North Carolina is promised in a special edition of the New York Sun, to appear sometime in April. A feature writer, P.A. Dolan, has been assigned to this job He was in Raleigh Friday and stated that he would cover the entire state.
