Is j the president of the State league, Mr. O. A. Follln. of Winston-Salem, 1st " vice president; Mr. J. T. Marshall, of "! t Wadesboro, 2nd vice president, and Mr. 15. L. Keesler. of Charlotte, secretary. ' ' IMS expected that the Wlnston-Sii- tern meeting of the league will be large- Jy attended. The league is Just now beginning to get Its plan well forniu- ' " lated for fostering the Interests of lo- cal or home building and loan assocl n lions through the Statp and for In r; fluenclng the necessary legislation for . the protection of the horn1 associations "? against the old State, and Inter-State and national association, which try to do business over a large t-rritory. When the State league was starts! J";- 3 year? ago and Inaugurated a fight for ttter legislation, there were something like 23 association then In (he State; ' now there are 55. There are very few people who appreciate what a fight the "'; local association have had to make against all sorts of spurious Instltu- , tiona. Every now and again there Is a new move made by some sort of stock " - company to use the name "Building , A Loan Association" to make money for the atockholdfrs seperate from those who pay In the money. The reil S iocal Institution is purely mutual and nobody can make any money at the pi Jt fense of those who psy their money in. "" Jn the local Institutions all accrued In terests and other profits are divided f' V equally among the members. In the i aptirloua Institutions, every sort of acheme la Invented to collect fines or Justify a large expense account, or " pay large salaries, so that a few men may have a divide of the money that 'J' la paid In by the members. At the meeting In Winston-Salem there will be a number of addressee by men who are well-known In the State, who have been Influential in developing the State league and Is fostering the general 'building and loan association Interests. For the first time In the hls ', tory of the State, the State, Inter-state " and national concern have been almost 1 entirely whipped out of North Caroll . i , na. A little further legtnlatlon reuard- Ing expense accounts and other meas rea to protei t the local Institution . ; will eliminate all the spurious Instltu ' t tlons. This additional legislation will f' be formulated at the Winston-Salem " " meeting and a committee of the state league wlH go to Raleigh next year to undertake to see It put through. ,fe There are two very Important re-'- " qutrmenta at the present time and It ,1a thought that these two Items would , 1e all of the protection needed for the home Institutions, arid would probably trior than double the local building and loan associations in the State In S or i years. v The first of these Is the limitation of " the expense account to 2 jWr cent. The eoond of these and far the more Im POTta nt, Is the establishment of a Mate Building and Loan Commission. With one or more commissioners In Sf V charge of the building and lomi Inter ' aeta of the State and the exerutlon of the lawa relating lo Ihese. gulte a number of States already have a build ing and loan commission and under - their fostering Influence In every State where they exist, the building and ( , loan associations have made very s great progress. In whatever State the buiMIng and loan prosper the working people will tie round living In their own " tiome and everybody knows that a home owner la always a good citizen Those local associations throughout u. the State which' have not already Joined the State league could make n.p better move than to Join the league . fjefore this WlnatorvHulem meeting and have a delegate attend that cuiven y ' tlon.

I presented your communication to the board , of achool commissioners. and waa instructed' by them to make the following repty: That, owing to the close ot the , present term being no near at hand, 4t is impracticable to consider any changes before the be ginning of another school year, but, I that' in maJclng up our 'course of siuoy tor next year, your recommen dations shall receive careful consid eration. ; "We beg to assure you that we are trying at all times to strengthen the schools at every point, and are glad to have you manifest an Interest in them. but we are seriously handicapped for the lack ot funds.

"The same thing applies to your rec ommendation In reference to the high school department, and additional grades.

Much is being written of the growth of OharJott. This development is largely suburban. ThS recent movement In Dll worth, one of thene progressive suburbs, for separate Incorporation, Is but a sign of the times. The develop ment of IMedmont, Rllzabeth, and North Charlotte are all of recent date. Hut a few years ago Piedmont was nothing more than a red hillside, and Kllzabe-lh Heights, but a auoceselon of old fields. One hits but to take a drive through these seciUnin to note the wonderful development which has tak en place within the last few years. While Dllworth, Piedmont and Eliza beth, have been utilized for residence purposes, North Charlotte Is almost wholly manufacturing. There Is one suburb, of which but little has been written. That Is the property recently acquired by the Sub urban Realty Company. The tract contains 335 acres of land, and is locat ed Juki beyond the southern limits of the city. It formerly belonged to the Wilson heirs, and has been lying prac tically Idle for many yeara. It Is now to be developed, and made Into a handsome suburb, similar to Its neigh bor, Dllworth. The name of the now suburb will be Wllmoore. A survey has been made and a num ber of streets are to be laid off. Mint rtreet extension will be the western boundary while South Tryon street will border the property on the east. Kings ton avenue from Dllworth Is to be extended through Wllmoore and so also Is the Kast Boulevard. Both if these street aiv to he 128 feet wide, with a drive cay on either side of n small park lelween. The Boulevard will be the mall) thoroughfare, and will be unusually beaullfnl. The whole suburb will be a desirable one. either for resi dence or manufacturing sites. During the next few year. Chariot le jjieople will hear much of Wllmoore. the new southern suburb lion. ,1. C. Buxton lo Spruit. For the purpose of organizing the Men's Missionary League In Charlotte, Moo. J. C. Iluxl'in. of Winston-Salem, will address the congregation of the Church of the Holy Comforter.

The addresn will he of Interest to others as well na to those expected to participate In the or ganization. The missionary work to be specially urged on Sun lay Is that under the direction of Archdeacon' K. A. Osborne, and Archdeai-on Tolson. Our Important IVIcikIm. Kugfiii- Wood, author of "Bark Home" finds that while there ;ue certain satisfactory rewards In writ ing reminiscent sketches of one's youthful days lntheJ-ohr-trrwti-.--thre-are also some drawback. At the cloee of ii letter to his publishers or dering a number of copies of his bookm, he remarks: "It seems that all the people who "knew me when.' have not Iwen supplied yet, and thty do hate no to spend the money." Kvl dently the people who "knew him when" discovered that Mr. Wood has a generous disposition. Mr. II. It. Totviienl Southern Agent. Mr. H. H.

In Recent Years A Reason for trie Change Some Point About lUUMUU-g the valise.. ''W 1 dangerous to leave a valise Bit ting around nowadays," said a police man to an Observer man yesterday. "Why? Are the thieves pretty thick and bold?" ,waa asked, "Not any" thicker than usual but the main rawon for the danger is that the valise h.u Increased so much In value recently," continued the officer. ; "I hadn't nwtloed that," said the thick-headed reporter. "Yes, the grip or valise is the means" by which much liquor finds Its way to una not te. ana many a good fellow cannot resist the temptation to grab a gnp ana run away 10 a quiet place and look in. We are always chasing tnieves wno nave 111 tea vanses mat did not belong to them.- That Is why , It is unsafe to leave your traveling bag unprotected. ., , The newspaper man tumbled to In a nurry ana ine tnougnt was such a nappy one that fie wanted to rush down to the ahop and write a story about it. "I will tell you someaing else about the grip," suggested the, officer. "We reiiows.' the policemen, have made a study of grips. I can tell from the way a person totes hla valise whether he's got llcker or not. If he lifts or swings It gingerly then you will find the good stuff. If hf throws It about carelessly then he may have aome cut glass for his wife in It. I saw a show woman cme in Just now, and as she stopped to rest she dropped her grip upon the pavement and H bounced up a time or two., 1 knew that she had not been to Salis bury. "I could tell you other things about the valise but this will do for this time," said the officer. Dr. J. K. H. Davidson In the Race. Dr. J. E. ft. Davidson, of Huntern- vllle, who waa In the city yeaterday, was shaking hands with more people than usual and was bowing and smil ing and making himself pleasant with everybody he met. 'In fact, he was the most affable man on the streets. "What's the matter with Doc. to day?" asked one of his many friends of another. "Why. Davidson's running for the House." replied the second friend in surprise. Dr. Davidson Is a clever young man and will make a strong run.
