The Charl Evening Chronicle ! WEDNESDAY- EVENINO OTTE JULY 17, 1912, THECELEBRATION '' V A''-.- '"V' II! SNO ASSURED Charlotte Business Men Decide Definitely On Plans For Next Twentieth Of May ; THE MANUFACTURERS' EXPOSITION GREATER Arrangements for Celebration and Exposition to Be in Hands of Sep arate Commissions Working Under the General . Directions of the Greater Charlotte Club -Two Ideas Advanced and the More Conserva tive Selected Laying of Plans For the Big Event Will Begin Immedi ately. To consider plans for holding a celebration and an exhibition similar to those , held in Charlotte the past May 20, a number of business men of this city met in the rooms of the' Greater Charlotte Club last night. Af ter two hours of discussing just what kind would be feasible, Mr. David Owens made a motion tbatan exposi tion and celebration of some sort should be held in Cairlotte on May 20, and the arrangements . should be directly under the supervision' of the Greater Charlotte Club.. Committees should be appointed by the executive committee of the club to have charge of the celebration and the exhibition, and - that these two departments of May 20 arrangements should be kept separate. ' ' ...... Two Lines of Thought. There were two lines of though ex pressed at the meeting by the speak ers, 'who were a dozen of the repre sentative business men of Charlotte. Mr. R. O. Alexander bcMeved that it was wise to attempt soirethingon a much larger scale than the exhibition held in Charlotte last May 20. This one was confined to manufacturers of "Made in Charlotte- goods. But Mr. Alexander believed that an exhibition on a much -larger tcale should be planned. He thought it was a good time at present to have a Piedmont Panama Exposition He was sure the government could be influenced to let so as to build the miniature Panama canal. The canal would be built of wood and painted, and thenwould be filled with water enough to run ships through, also, he told of how the iocks coma De mint, leiung tne snips in and out. Mr. Alexander would have other attractions, such as mov ing staircases tha tpeople would come miles to see. His aim, he said, would be to draw, the people from as far north as New York, soulh to New Or leans and west to the Mississippi. The exhibitions would extend to the man ufacturers of the. Piedmont section, which would buy sp:ice in the large exhibitors' hall that "would be erected the size of a city block. This Scheme Opposed. Mr. Alexander's scheme met with opposition from nearly every business man present.. It was the , opinion of them that this was going ra little too far for Charlotte for the present;" that the best plan would be for the last exhibition to expand naturally until it reached a size attractive to the people of the entire country. This opinion was voiced by Mr. Stuart W. Cramer, who followed Mr. Alexan der, Mr. C. C. , Hook, Mr. E. W. Thompson and others. Mr. Cramer said that in the first place Charlotte was not in a posit'on to have "an ex position such as Mr. Alexander had planned, for two reasons :the people were not rich enough and the popula tion is not large enough. The people are well-to-do here, but there are no rich philanthropists here who are able- to "hold the -bag'.' when- it is all over and you can not get the manu facturers to take exhibitor's space unless you give fhem their 'money's worth.. The people who come and the manufacturers who take space can not be fooled, for if you do cheat and fool them it will do Charlotte more harm than it wtii do good. Mr. Hook said that he believed the pres ent exhibition of Charlotte, goods should be -continued end enlarged upon. Twice as many exhibitors can be put in the audteorlum, he stated. Mr. Thompson thought. that the growth for the exhibition should be gradual and natural. Mr. C." W: Park er; said he did not take much faith in a Piedmont affair, that he likeU the one they had if It could, be enlarged. Agreement is- -Reached. Agreement was finally reached when it was .decided, to. have, an ex hibition and - a celebration of some sort May 2 V 19 IS... .. The whole thing will be kept ;under the control of the greater Charlotte Club. It was the opinion of every one present that next spring a! celebration will be giv en t that it is well worth the , time of thbse who come to ee. It was nec essary to begin thinking-of matters by this time, for in the past it has been the custom to wait - a . month or so before time " and consequently no adequate plans were made so as to keep the whole thing in bounds of the finances available. . Just what kind of. celebration the people will "see In Charlotte next year is not known but it is certain that something worth' the" money will be given. The executive ' committee of the Greater Charlotte Club will meet within the next few days to appoint committees to take charge of the cele bration and exhibition. REAL TAKES NON SUIT IN . HIS CASE AGAINST DR. LONG Special to The Chronicle. . STATESVILJL.E July 17. A" non suit has been taken in " the damage suit instituted by F. H. Neal of Jeffer son against Dr. Henry F. L.ong of Statesville an3 the case is considered ended. Motion for removal of the case from Ashe ; county to Iredell county was argued before Judge O. H. Allen, who is holding court at Jeffer son, by Attorneys Z. V. !Long, R.' B. McLaughlin and L. C. Caldwell of Statesville and E.. J. Justice of Greens boro, counsel for Dr. Long, and Mr.'T. C. Bowie, counsel for Mr. Neal, re sisted the hiotlon. Judge Allen order ed the removal of the case to Wilkes county, whereupon ' Mr. Bowie an nounced that he would take a non suit. While taking a non-suit does not mean that the action may "not be srarted again, the case is considered closed. . XeaJ was a patient at Dr. Long's sanatorium and his complaint was that, he had been left on the porch of the sanatorium by a nurse, that he .took cold and suffered seriouus results and 550,000 damages was asked. The answer of the ;defense was that Neal had been discharged from the sanato rium, ' treatment of his case .having been completed, and he was allowed to remain a few "days kngar at his own request because it was not con venient for hiin to leave for his home in Jefferson; that at the time of his alleged injury from negligence he controlled his own actions and that he did not suffer serious injury, as alleged. Thosa who know Dr. Long and. the I manner In which his numerous pa tients are cared for could not believe that there was anything in the case and the result of a trial before an un biased Jury was not questioned. Dr. Long was determined to fight the case to a finish, and the action of the plaintiff in taking, a non-suit was 'en tirely voluntary. The motion for re moval was on the ground " that Dr;, Long and practically all of his nurses would have to attend the trial, which would virtually mean the closing - of the sanatorium, which is always crowded with , patients. Mrs. Z.' E. Turner fell from a chair at her home on Davie avenue and suffered a broken arm. She was standing on the chair gathering plums from a tree in the yard. Dr. James D. Cochrane of- States ville, recently licensed to practice medicine, will leave Saturday for Fay etteville, where he expects to locate for the practice of his profession.

While waiting at the railroad station for ,his train, Representative Oscar W. -Underwood, Democratic majority leader of the House 'of Representatives, ' fol lowing, his conference with Governor Wilson yesterday, sat down next to" a portly man who was mopping his brow with a handkerchief. -Hot as blazes, isn't it?" asked the leaders perspiring neighbor. . "It certainly 13," Mr. Underwood agreed. ' ' "Must be pretty . hot down South." "Oh, I don't think so," replied Mr, Underwoood. "I live in Alabama and I believe its hotter here than there." "So you live in Alabama," said the fat man. "What do you folks think of Wilson?" "They think he will be the next President." ,; - "They, must feel pretty sore about that fellow Underwood losing, don't they?" asked the stranger. ' "Not at ay," replied Mr. Under wood. "They will gef out and fight for Wilson. I know Mr. Underwood personally and . I can truthfully say that he is going to do all In his pow er to help the Governor win."- "Well, that's great; I am, glad to hear you talk that way," responded the stranger.. . . Just' then Mr. Underwood's train was announced. "Well, so long," said the fat man. "My name's Barker, sir, Winfield Scott Barker of Long Branch. I'm glad to have met you, sir." ' "And my name is Underwood," the House leader said," shaking the prof fered hand. "Oscar Underwood. I used to be a competitor of the Gov ernor myself.

There was a time when people were afraid of the oil, but they are pretty well over that. They eat a good deal of it without knowing it in salad oil. That, of course, is a commercial fraud and ought to be stopped.. People should be able to get what they ask for, pay for and are told what they are getting. But cotton seed oil is now sold under its own name or under a name indi cating its cnaracwr. lor cuukuib pur poses, and it is possible that" a palatable coating for bread can be made from It. Perhaps we need to know ' something more about its wholesomeneas if it is to become a daily article of food, but as it has made its way into the kitchen undisguised and has not yet been con victed of hurting people, .It would not be singular if it should be promoted., to the breakfast table.- If it can be sold at 18 cents a pound it has one strong recommendation, and if the Northern farmers try to outlaw it the Southern farmers may be depended on to fight its battle.
