President Craig Appoints Standing
Committees to Direct Work of
Business Men's Organization
By-Laws Adopted Banquet to be
Held Second Thursday Night in
January Considerable Enthus
iasm Manifested.
Gastonia's Chamber of Commerce
perfected its organization at a meet
ing held la the city hall Tuesday
night, abut thirty members - being
present and President T. L. Craig
being in the chair. It was strictly
a business meeting and all the mem
bers present were thoroughly in
earnest and displayed a keen inter
est in the proceedings.
.Mr. S. J. Durham, chairman of the
committee appointed previously to
draft the charter of the organiza
tion, rcd that document and at its
conclusion made a motion, which
was duly seconded and passed, that
the organization as previously ef
fected be re-afllrmed under the char
ter. President Craig then called for a
report from the committee appoint
ed to draft by-laws for the chamber
and said committee submitted its re
port through its chairman, Mr. S. J.
Ilnrhnm Tha hv-laws an drawn Dv
the committee were read article by
article, discussed and passed or
amended, and were then adopted as
a whole. Because of the crowded
condition of The Gazette's columns
today it is not possible to publish
these by-laws in full but this will be
done later. A few of the provisions
are given below:
The annual meetings are to be held
on the second Thursday night In
January of each year, this meeting to
serve also as a quarterly meeting to
be followed by three quarterly meet
ings on the second Thursday nights
of April, July and October.
Members are to be elected at reg
ular quarterly meetings; those de
siring to join, however, may obtain
all the privileges of membership ex
cept that of voting at any time.
A secretary and a treasurer are
to be elected by the board of direc
tors, the treasurer to serve without
salary. Both are to be bonded.
The fiscal year will end Decem
ber 31st each year.
Annual and quarterly reports shall
be made by the secretary and the
treasurer to the board of directors.
No initiation fee shall be exacted
of non-resident members. They shall
pay the monthly dues of $1.00.
A motion was made and carried
to reconsider the adoption of the
by-laws, whereupon 'an exception was
made as to the provision with refer
ence to election of officers. This
provision was that said section be In
force on and after the annual meet
ing in January. 1915, which means
that the present officers will serve
through the year 1914.
A rising vote of thanks was ten
dered the committee on by-laws for
their work.
President Craig announced the
standing committees which are given
below, together with the executive
committee which was chosen by the
board of directors during a short re
cess. Following the transaction of busi
ness as outlined above the matter of
a banquet was discussed, it being
the consensus of opinion that this
would be an excellent way to launch
the Chamber of Commerce Into the
business life of the town. It was de
cided to have a banquet on the sec
ond Thursday night in January, the
8th. and the matter of details was
left in the hands of the entertain
ment committee. Capt. A. L. Bul
winkle. of Company B, tendered the
use of th large new armory In the
Craig building on East Airline ave
nue and his offer was accented. The
affair will doubtless be a landmark
In the business history or Gastonia.
