PEOPLE SHOULD LEARN TRADES "We have .with us , here to-night," said Toastmaster Sargent, "Mr. Heriot Clarkson. I shall ask him to say something, and it may behe will tell us, 'How to Get a drink Without Going to Salisbury.' " Mr. Clarkson did not divulge the suggested Information. He spoke at length, however, and well on the topics suggested to him by the occasion. He rejoiced to see the breadwinners at this social gathering. As true as it is that the battle, of Santiago was fought at West Point and the battle of Manila at Annapolis, so true is it that back of every great industrial achievenement of life is toil and planning. By this has the great D. A. Tompkins Company been made what it is. Mr. Clarkson paid a;high tribute to Gen. E. P. Alexander, whose advice had influenced the life of Mr. Tompkins and of Mr. Clarkson's father. He It was who, while a professor in Col umbia University, had advised the host of the evening to take a course in mechanics. After doing this tne latter spent 10 years In machine snops in New York , and Alleghany, .'tFor 10 years," said Mr. Clarkson,, "he toiled in the shops, eating his bread in the sweat of his brow. Twenty years ago he came to Charlotte and here planted the seed wmcn in grown into an institution of national reputation. ' To-night he parts wun this, his child. He acted on me au- vice of General Alexander and com bined with his education, common sense. The only sare tnmg 101 men to do is Xo learn a trade or a profession. It-has been truly said that 'He that teacheth not his child a trade, teaches him the way to pen ury. The men tnat oy meir urm and muscle bring peace and prosper ity where was poverty and penury are more deserving of their country s honor than the warriors in ancini times, whose bravery has passed into legend. "I look oVer the South, ana 1 see the great oil mills that, have given employment , and happy homes . to countless people and' I ask who it Is that has done this. The answer to the question is that no man has done more of it than D. A. Tompkins, the greatest captain of Industry in the entire Southland. Put to achieve this great success, all his splendid ability and energy would have been power less without your co-operation." MR, MORRISON CLOSES. At the close of Mr. Clarksbn's speech, - the toastmaster called upon Mr. Cameron Morrison, hinting that the information i-whlch Mr. Clarkson had not furnished might be forthcom ing. But again disappointment, deep and dark, lay in wait. ; - That information," said Mr Mor rison, "must be secretly ' acquired. For the reason that if Heriot Clarkson should hear of it it would at once lose all Its value. : I suggest therefore, that you see me privately at the close of the banquet." Continuing, Mr, Morrison expressed his realization of the significance of the occasion. To the host, he said, it must be a sweetly solemn season. "I am.- .sure, said Mr. Morrison In conclusion, "that we all congratulate Mr. Tompkins upon his success and I am sure that a voice the sentiment of the entire communi ty In saying 'God bless you. In what ever you undertake, we wish that your efforts shall be crowned with all the success that It is given to mortals to attain.'" -Tr::': ' , . .
