The fact . that the whites and
blacks of this community are friends,
and always have been, must be
known abroad.
Mayor Bland yesterday received a
letter which suggests this fact, as
pertment inquiry is made as to .’a-
cial affiliations.
The letter follows;
Letter.
Chattanooga. Tenn., Aug. 10.
Mayor Bland, Charlotte, N. C.: I
Dear Sir: 1 am endeavoring to in
augurate a movement here looking to
the protection of the ignorant and in
nocent especially among the negroes
arrested for trivial offenses, and
often without cause.
I am also endeavoring to bring
about a movement looking to the
better feeling among the races of this
community.
Have either of these two proposi
tions made any headw'ay in your
city?
Any information that you can give
me in regard to this will be appre
ciated.
Yours very truly,
T. C. THOMPSON,
Mayor.
Mayor Thompson is a first-cousin
of Mr. Heriot Clarkson, of this city.

To Camp at Cleveland Springs
Dr. H. M. W’ilder and Dr. J. F. Rob
erson will leave tomorrow afternoon
for Cleveland Springs. Their “belong
ings’ 'will go through the country, leav
ing here after midnight tonight. They
will erect a tent and camp out, near
the springs for two weeks. The cook
and all cooking utens-ils will be there.
Later Major C. S. Wooten, of La
Grange, will join them.
Advertising “For Keeps.”
Advertising is like a fountain, which
will run for a short time after the
power has been shut off, but it soon
ceases altogether. We can go ahead
on our momentum for'possibly a year,
maybe two years, before our sales be
gin to let up, but I do not want them
ever to let up. Therefore I am advertis
ing not for the sake of the orders w'e
need today, but to insure the continua
tion of orders next -year and the year
after and for many years to come.—
Hugh Chalmers.
The War of Women.
"W^hen women exchange remarks
that apaprently are simple, and yet
that you, a man, cannot understand,
then know there is a woman’s war
going on, and step softly, and hold
your peace.”—From “Down O’Hara.”

Let Us Suggest
That You Place a Fund with the American Trust Company in trust for
your wife or daughter. Women as a rule are not versed in busi
ness matters. Money or property left them is often lost through
injudicious investments or managenient. Widows and young
women with money are the easy prey of unscrupulous and design-
ing persons, who seek to induce them to invest their funds in
doubtful enterprises, holding out alluring prospects of large re
turns that never materialize.
luv ;snj» uo iis| puni v s^ican Trust Co. will be judiciously in
vested and the income turned over to the beneficiary as the in
strument creating the trust may direct. The beneficiary is re
lieved of the trouble of investing the fund and gets the benefit
of our superior advantages in that respect. Our charges are but
slight in comparison with the benefits derived. Our existence
is continuous so that we can handle a fund for any length of
time desired — during the life of a person or until a child
reaches its majority, if it is so desired.
