HUNDREDS OF
POPILSJPOBTED
This nimpla scatement means little
to the g:rown-up but volumes to th«
voungstera. The hells this morning at
9 o’clorK 1id not ring out a vacation
rang in a long nine months
of much wo?k and little play.
This morning all the Charlotte
scboois were opened. A typical scene
\^as that at the South school. Ne^.ily
,?n hour before the 9 o’clock bell boys
and Kiris began assembling at the
grounds. As they passed down Tryon
to East Morehead, their bright faces,
neat suits und pretty ribbons and
dresses attracted the attention of an
old necro He turned to watch one gay
group, and seeing the string of young
people on both sides of the street, re
marked: Sure must be a monstrous
bie picnic som'ers today.”
Ten lone lines were formed at the
fl’-st tap of the school bell at 8:50,
t^he girls in front and the boys follow
:ng. As they waited for the signal to
enter the building, they began mis
chievous pranks. A slick little dog ran
across the yard. Tn a moment a show
er of pebbie? became a hurricane, and
the pups yelping exit was amid
cheers.
One line nearest East Morehead
ftreet suffered from the Jibee of
Eome urchnirg who did not “have ter
go ter school.” One of the , most sting
ing remarks the studious boys receiv
ed was this. ’Enter ter yer reward.
I hope yer gits it!" Just then came
Superintendent Graham's command,
Atteniion; forward, march!” and the
cha;terlng youngsters were quickly in
their rooms
A? 9 o’clock over SOO pupils had re
ported at South school, others coming
:n later. The exact count could not
^e made »Mb morning. Boys and girls
raet in the rooms in which they clos
ed last term and were reassigned and
t ■ en ’.ists for the present sessicn.

County Meetings
Will be Held Here
Famirs‘ Union of County Met
at Crojt Yesterday—Will
Meet in Charlotte During the
Winter-Special Called Meet
ing ox Co, Organizations,
The Mecklenburg division of the
North Carolina Farmers’ Union met
at Croft and had a most satisfactory
meeting from every point of view,
the attendance being good and the
days exercises enjoyable and in-
stnictive.
The next regular meeting of the
union will be held here at the county
court house and it is likely that the
monthly meetings will be held In
Charlotte through the winter season.
This step is likely to be taken for
the reason that Charlotte is centrally
located for all the county locals and
a maximum attendance can be obtain
ed by this arrangement during the
winter months.
Special Meeting.
There will be a special called
meeting of the county organization
next Tuesday at the court house to
hear reports from all the county
locals with regard to cotton condi
tions, whifh report will be wired
that day to Shawnee, Oklahoma,
w’here the National Farmers’ Union
will then be in annual session. This
ip the method followed by the Nation
al Union in getting cotton statistics ,
upon which to base an estimate of j
the probable year’s production. Such i
reports as this will go to the meet-1
ing of the National Union at Shaw
nee from all the local unions in
the cotton belt. This is also true of
corn and grain.
Dr. H. Q. Alexander, president of
the State Union, will attend the con
vention at Shawnee as one of the sev
en delegates from North Carolina.
Mr. Joe Bigham, editor of the
Farmers’ Forum In The New's, was

The Best Way
To provide for your widow and children, especially if the latter be
girls, is to create a trust for their benefit. Place a fund with the
American Trust Company to be invested, the annual income to be
paid over to the beneficiary; or turn over to us your stocks and bonds
for a like purpose. In many caces it is better that property be not
left direct to the objects of one's bounty. Lack of experience and
business ability might cause them to lose it by unwnse investment,
or bad management. When it is left in trust with the American
Trust Company the beneficiary enjoys the income without the oppor
tunity to jeopardize the principal.
You have the satisfatcion of knowing that your loved ones are
provided for in a manner that w'ill not only secure them against the
wiles of dishonest persons but also prevent them from suffering loss
by improvidence on their own part. ^
Your duty to your family demands that you make provision for . . e
proper handling of your estate after you are gone. In neglecting tins
important matter you are treating neither yourself nor them fairly.
The accumulations of a lifetime may be swept away in a few- years,
or even months, when your guiding hand has been removed. Let the
American Trust Company act as yOur Executor and Tr-jstee and do
for those you love what you cannot do yourself.
