To-Alght si Isuta rarav A familiar scene for Charlotte wu the gatherln,1 th assembly room of the Selwya yesterday of the an aual convention of the North Caro Una Retail furniture Dealers' Asso ciation, representing- 115 North caro lina Arms. 'More than a dozen siml lar meetlnrs had been held In the 'city thla aprlnr and summer. In the - : Interest of its deliberations thla la quite up to the standard, as well as in lh neraonnel of its roembersnip The association was called to order at t O'clock by President C. W. Far. ker. of Charlotte, held a nlht ses win meet this morning- at 9 o'clock and this afternoon at a. At ; 410 a trolley ride to mossids, rmi , tnont. Electric Park and Wworth , win be indulged in. To-nlsht at 1 -o'clock aupper will be served at the Latu Park pavilion. . Rev. E. L. Bain opened the meet- Inr with prayer. Mayor T. s. mn tin was first on the programme sched- r hi wanted address of wel come, a role in which practice has made perfect. Mr. c. n. rm.iuu, who has from time immemorial, in h. nnu-itv of president of the Greater Charlotte Club, acted aa the . . mivm-'i aid nartner. was not pres- ' ntr Mr., Qhae.Brenlzer taking his "We esteem it a great prlvllea-e. aid the mayor, after a few introduc- tory remarks, "to have the Retail Sirniture Dealers' Association in ; Charlotte. We are very prone to apeak about our manufacturing es- : tabllahmenta. Charlotte, if It Is any- thlna, is a manufacturing city. Surely iwe have the largest manufacturing " centra la the State and one which ranks high among Southern cities. And yet, when we come to consider a tha matter closely, what would all our manufactories amount to, if we tiad act the retail merchants? There- fore you come to us aa a very lm portent factor liv. th Industrial life . , f our State." Uttering words of commendation for the Greater Charlotte Club, its aplrit of progresslveness, of energy end of co-operation as factors in the upbuilding- tit Greater Charlotte, President Parker next Introduced Mr. ' i Chase Brenlxer, as one who belong-ed o Charlotte from the day of his birth and ha trusted ever would. Mr. Brealscr made a etrong talk. Char . lotta, ha aald, can give her visitors ' everything- except sea breeses and mountain air and something- to drink. 6hs 4s weak on liquids but solid on - things substantial. Thla he said, was fcelng said In a public capacity. Of course In a private way, some of the local members could probably sup- . ply their needs. Referring; to the fact that Mr. threat on has heretofore made the aecoad "welcoming speech, Mr. Bre ruser said: "In violating this custom of tha ages, I feel like an iconoclast. Tha president of this club stands as a representative of all that Is best ' and proBTeesive In our city's growth." CHARLOTTE S ONE LACK. Tha kfteakfcr SaM further"' that he hoped this meeting would .result In good for Charlotte in the furniture business. A statement of the purpose f the organlxatlon is that to se cure seed relations between the man ufacturers, jobbers and retailers of ' furniture. He trusted that as a re ' ault of thla meeting Charlotte may - become a High Point of furniture making. Already she is the centre - ' f the cotton mill Interests. One-half of all the cotton mill machinery oll In the Southern States Is sold through Charlotte Ono-seventli of te bank capital of North Carolina Is devoted r ' to exploiting these enterprises. We - liave the power and everything need- - ad to furnish a town good enough for anybody to live in. It la to be hoped that this error in our develop ment, will be corrected by the next . meeting and one more tndumry will ' be addt d to our roll. The retail furniture dealers, said ' ..' the speaker, come in clone contact with the womannood of the country. " (They aell the furniture which cxer . eises a potent Influence on the young, creating in them appreciation of the rustic and the beautiful. Therefore Is their function and their work of Importance. "If Charlotte and the ,.. Oreater Charlotte Club can be of any - assistance to you, they will do It with ' much pleasure as that with which - they extend this welcome to you to- . ay." ' MR. ROTAL REPLIES. The response to the address of wel- come was nude by Mr. George C. 4 Royal, of Goldsboro. "Your splendid speeches of cordial welcome to our association are strong evidences of . . tha progress of the times." said Mr. . JRoyaL "Kitty years ago such an or ganization would have been looked Jiponwlth suspicion, juid insteadof "being welcomeaDy a cominunity, "It .' would probably have been criticised. : , I'ut to-day people recognize the ad t vantages of organisation, and well they may, for the rapid advance o( - our gTeat country ia largely I might say . entirely due to intelligent or . - ganlzatlon. Take, for Instance, the - - much-abused Standard Oil Company. "When they began their organization kerosene oil was selling for 25 cents A gallon, while to-day it sells for bout. 11 or 12 cents. The general public 1 tha beneficiary of the great reduction. "And "gain, take the American To ' "fcecco Company, which had Its Incip ' lency in North Carolina, the parent soil of the golden leaf of commerce. Before it was organized the cultiva tion of tha weed was limited because . tha demand waa small. Now the pro-ducts of thla company are sold :' throughout the world, thereby bring - Jng Into our country millions of dol . ars of foreign money which are paid out to our farmers in profitable prices for taelr tobacco. Organisation did . ' It. The furniture branch of industry . has been a HtUe alower to organise nd hence is young In organisation. Yet the results have been very de - elded. When I went in the furniture . buainAaa XI years ago, a common pop lar bureau with 11x20 American mirror sold for 17.60, . To-day you can buy aa oak bureau larger In every wsy with 20x24 French bevel mirror jor mis price. "Organization was a potent factor Jn .brlxjglnr about these change- of wojrn nava neen of so much benefit to the consumer, but that Is T,xcfi i.r.yr health advtck. Mrs. M. M. 1tWb. of Nil.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT. The reading of the minutes of the last meeting was dispensed wita on motion and President C. W. Parker read a carefully prepared report for . 1 4 . '.Ula1 "AftAl th. Will, LUC Jt'ttl JUDl l.ivau. . " " romtnir address we have already lie .nvi n." aald Mr. faraer. "it is useless for me to aay more, but I can t help adding that the retail fur niture dealers of unarioite are more than proud to see you. We want you to mingle with us, visit our places of business, give us all the trouble vou can. for we eacn ana an feel that the pleasure Is all ours and wo will try and do you no narm. We firmly believe In association work an,t we think the furniture dealers of North Carolina make no mistake in taking a few days on from Busi ness to come together, meet each Mht-T in frtendlv Intercourse and study and discuss subjects that stand for our mutual interest. There Is no doubt In nry mina. the president continued later, 'mat this association nas peen ui umum benefit to the retail dealer and to tha nubile alo. its object has been to elevate the furniture trade of the State; to educate the retail dealer in better methods or serving nis pa trons; to raise his moral business standard; If possible, to make the retail furniture Industry in every town an Institution that every citi zen can point to with pride. That we have been successful in at least a part of these worthy motives, you have only to visit a few of our towns and compare the stores that you see now with those which existed ai me organization of this body. We must keep this association To gether and make its Influence strong er. We have mucn to oonironi us in th future and every man must do his duty. We feel Justly proud of what has been accomplished oy mis association. We feel that a few or the evils that confronted us whlcn have been in whole or In part ad Justed to our advantage might be mentioned here. The trading stamp Idea has be come a thing of the past. A more unjust scheme or a greater iraoo. neither dealer nor consumer was ever afflicted with. 'Vacant atore auction nouse schemes, run for a few days by some unreliable Jake, who pays no taxes, ara finding it more difficult to get goods, and the reputable manufac turers refuaa to aell to them alto gether. The methods' and source or sup ply of .the catalogue houses', who generally offer cheap goods, are be ing studied by the wide-awake deal er, and this competition 1s being met. We do not believe the furniture dealer has muoh to fear from the catalogue house and the magazine advertiser, If he keeps up with the times and acts with wisdom, -mere Is nothing that he cannot sell as cheaply as either the catalogue house or the marazlua advertiser. If he will make the price f. o. b, factory, as hey do. and then collect an or a part of the money before shipment is made. The mall order Idea, we believe. was orlRlnated by Fred Macy and he lived lung enough to die a bank rupt, iluny other concernji nave started up, and have found their finish in the same wuy. "There are now only two large mall order hous.-s, and they reached their growth several years ago and their Influence Is diminishing dally. The well posted and-wise furniture dealer can meet any of this competi tion. 'Be sure that your own wife and daughter do not aend to Chicago to buy flour, hats, ribbons and clothes, and your neighbor, will buy furni ture from you. The best manufacturers or tnis cosntry are refusing to sell the mall order houses, and those factories which do sell them now offer you the ssme goods at as low prices. This has been accomplished by as sociation work. We feel very proud of the loyal upport that our North Carolina facr lories have given to this aAaoofatioh and to the retail dealers of thla State. We feel that they have stuck to the retail dealer nobly. In only a few Instances during the year have wo heard of their making any quota tions direct to consumers, and these Instances were In oases of large con tracts for hotels and other public institutions, when tha temptation was great. The advanced minds of the country have agreed that the only and the proper channel for the goods of the manufacturer to reach the consumer should be through the retail dealer only. FACTORIES SHOULD CHOOSE. "Wi .feel that tha time has now come when the North Carolina Re tall Furniture Dealers' Association should say to those, few manufactur ers that still quote prices direct, that you must-choose this day whom ye will serve.' We do not feel that any iactory should offer Us goods to any consumer,, whether hotel ' or other Institution, except at the request and through some legitimate furniture dealer. We believe the manufactur ers as a whole would thank us for uch an expression. Tha national as sociation, ' which Is now large and growing, and tha many State asso ciations now organized and growing, win help to accomplish this demand," President Parker then aald that the factory friends should be treated with as much courtesy and conaldcra- P100 ,u Potad of them, bllU ahould be paid. , no unreasonable de mands for damages should bo mad, no rebates should be asked for that re not Just .Friendly relations should exist among afl dealers. v,v " REPORT OF SECRETARY. -Next came the report of the sto rotary,' Mr. W. - R. ftummersott, of Salisbury. "It to with pleasure he begaa, "that X come before you with this, my fifth annual report, and while we hare not set the woods afire this year doing new stunts, yet Lam pleased to Inform you, we have not lost any gronnl No, gntremen, tns Retail 'FurnlCure . Dealers' Associa tion Of , North Carolina is composed of a membership that " stands L for success and -not failure, ' and - today we are in the front ranks with "the other, twenty-four-strong local and State organizations, together with the national-'"' .i . Mr. Summersett stated the- purpose of the organization to. - protect th interests of the members by eat re lishing more' intimate - relations ; with each other, lit urtfeil nil tlue wh; bad questions ' to swk ' r gri-jvaacea, or sug-ge-jtia , te' speak. 'up "daring the meeting. . During te year eight firms have been added and a number of others promised to -meet with the dealers if possible. , am quite sure the reason all the dealers In -the State of North Carolina are not members is from the fact that they have not looked Into the merits of the organi zation, once the purpose of the so clety can be Impressed -e'n the non members, there will be no difficulty in landing them on the rolL PURPOSE SHOULD BE UNDER STOOD. "I think It is also necessary," the secretary continued later, that we make ourselves fully understood. We are not organised for the purpose of either raising or agreeing upon prices at which goods shall be sold In fact, the aim of the association is by reason of the abatement of certain abuses that had grown . up in tne trade to reduce prices to the consumer. These worthy' motives have had much to do with the suc cess of the association. During the year we have had twenty-five com plaints for adjustment. - Most of them have been adjusted, seme have not and in a few cases we have been treated very ugly by the factory with which the complaint has been taken up. This I very much regret and I must confess that I think it is very poor business policy on the part of factories to act arbitrarily with us, when seeking to adjust apparent wrongs. I havs . individually come in for some criticism for being too active, and I would respectfully sug gest that, during the next year, every member be on the alert and pick up every, shipment made to their town that does not show to be through a legitimate dealer, and aend to the secretary for investigation." Ninety per cent, said the secre tary, of the manufacturers are giv ing hearty co-operation, and appre ciation ahould be expressed to these by giving them their due share of business. Gastonta, Llncolnton, Shel by, Rutherford ton, Marlon, Ashevllle, Hickory and Newton were visited by the secretary d,urlng the past year. At tne ciose or this aaaress, tne report of the executive committee was called for. This, It was stated, would be made to-day.

Informal and free discussion char acterised the entire evening session of the association which convened at 8:30 and did not adjourn until well toward 11. The questions discussed. sltlioue-h not of public Interest, were or more or less Import to the furni ture men present and they engaged In them spontaneously.

The warrant for John Lylee, col ored, charging , him with an affray, was changed to read profanity by the recorder yesterday morning after a hearing had been given in open court,. He was fined $2.45, half the costs. it having been proven that he had said to Will Henderson's colored wife,. "Shnt your d -n mouth." The affair proved to have arisen out of a dispute In Henderson's restaurant in Brooklyn. Lyles came In with some colored women and they drank up 15 cents worth of soft drinks. In payment Lyles gave Henderson a bill. Henderson, claiming it to have been a $2 bill, offered him 11.85 in change, which was refused, Lyle claiming it to have been a 15 bill he gave him. Then followed the more or less heat ed dispute. Much evidence was Introduced In court on both sides, both to show that it was and that it was not a 15 bill, but of course , with this the recorder had little to do. The Providence Picnic.
