Address of Welcome by Senator "Whitehead Klutta and tho Response by Rev. Plato Durham Mr. Nor man H. Johnson Talks to tlio Mer chants'. Association About the Homestead , JLaws and Tradlnj Stamp Companies, . Special to The Observer. - Salisbury, May 17. The fourteenth district of the Jr. O. U. A. M., com posed of ; Mecklenburg, Iredell, Alex ander; Cabarrus, Gaston, Stanley and Rowan counties, will have Its district meeting Tuesday. June llth and the district deputy State councilor . says this will be a great meeting. The lo cal council of the Daughters of Lib erty will co-operate with the Juniors. The address of welcome on behalf of the local councils ' will be made by Senator Whitehead Kluttz and the re sponse by Rev Plao ,i Durham, " of Charlotte. Z. P.

The councils held meetings through com mittees last night and made plans for the decoration of the graves of de ceased Juniors . v Norman H. Johnson addressed the Merchants', Association last night, and the chief points in his talk were knocks at the homestead laws of North Carolina and the trading stamp com panies. He declared that the first should be repealed ,and that it was never meant to - extend beyond four years. He declared that all efforts to have the odiousT' thing repealed' had failed, Mr. Johnson opposed the in trusion of the association Into politics, but thinks the men composing it should not trail blindly in Bome par tisan bandwagon, but should vote for principles and men. He admonished his hearers to do their missionary work before .primaries, confront their candidates face to face and make them declare themselves, In touch ing up the trading stamps he argued that they could not possibly benefit anybody but the companies using them. He learned with sorrow that some merchants In thH city are now employing them. He .old the story of a North Carolina merchant who de clares himself poorer by $4,000 this year than, last on account of. this. The newspapers and display windows, he thinks, are the proper methods of advertising.
