JOHNSON SPEAKS. . "We come to-day to bury in oblivion tha bitter dregs of the panic and to stimulate ucft interest aa will con tinue to make Mecklenburg county the Idol of the Old North State," said Mr. Mayer in .his preliminary re marks and he Introduced as the first speaker, Mr. Norman H. Johnson, than- whom, he. said, no man hsd done more within fhe last three or four years for the merchants of North Carolina. - Mr. Johnson arose amidst applause and delighted the audience with a few practical points about the operation of a successful mercantile businem. He sooke chief ly of he relation between the Jobber and the retailer, which. In his esti mation, was reciprocal, there being an Inter-relation between these spieres in the. business work which could not be forgotten. He de clared that trarte relations of this coun try were built upon fine and well de fined schemes of business and that the relation between the wholesaler and the retailer should be so close in car rying out these principles that there would be no line of demarcation at all. It was to him a slsnar of a moral awakening; that' merchants have begun to realise that character and reputation lp their vocation was the first requisite to success. But, he further declared, there was certainly no a-eneral awakening so long as the homestead exemption law remains on the statute books. "CREDIT TOO CHEAP." "Credit is too cheap," was the sub ject assigned Mr. J. Lee Phillips, a local retailer, and he delighted the crowd with the wit and humor which he injected into his remarks. He spoke of the difference in the meth ods pursued by the marchant and the banker when they are approached for credit. "The banker requires th applicant," said he, "to ive a his tory of his whole life before he al lows him money, but the merchant makes no such demands." The ad dress of Mr. Phillips was one of the most enjoyable of the day, his re marks belnar. well illustrated by anec dotes. Mr. R. S. Stokes told how the mer chants aided in-the uplifting of a city. "I wtll remember when 1 came here 34 years ago and considered It a guoa day's walk to come out this far trom the town to hunt. There was no Uilwortb, then, nor .a North Char lotte." He declared that a majority of tne merchants underestimate their ability to maka a city grow and ven tured the assertion that Charlotte would not be the thriving city it is t-day except for the efforts of men like Weddington, Durham and Mayer. Mr. j. j. Adams delivered a well- conceived address on the subject of co-operation and was given good at tention. He spoke of the fundamen tal principle upon which all institu tions are founded and cultivated, the chief of which was co-operation of MR. STONE'S ADDRESS. Mr, c. 8. Stone was the last epeak- His subject was: v"Keep Your money at Home." in part ne said as ioiiows: -ine subject assigned me, "Keep xwur Aioney st Home.' or "Spend XOUr Money in Charlotte." touches the keynote of the business situation. Wo all spend money. Some as soon as we get it, others of us before we get it. m any rate we all spend It and most of us spend it all. There-might have been a time when It was hard to spend money in Charlotte, but ruch difficulty presents Itself now even to that most interesting animal known to some as the 'tight wad.' There are no specimen of that creature here to-duy, I am quite sure. Char lotte store arc a matter of great priue to every Charlottean who trav el. Its retail stores are not excelled In attractiveness and in tha matter or complete tock carried by those in the largent cities in the land, and a to prices 1 havo frequently found standard articles selling: at higher prices In ,N w York or Philadelphia than .'linrlntte tore were getting for the smne articles. The mall order bargain fallacy stimulated by artistic ally got up catalogues occasionally strikes our mothers and sisters and wives, but after a few Just compari sons even they soon decide to buy where they can see what they are getting and have the benefit of the exchange privilege. I have hardly known of ona case in which the Charlotte merchant could not and would not Kladly duplicate any of these so-culled bargain offers and when It conies to staple goods, they positively cannot be undersold. I was just about to tay that it was never necessary to send money out of Charlotte, but 1 am reminded of an Incident that happened in our store. Most of you know as a matter of ac commodation, we sell express money orders, and In that way know about some of the money that is ent out of town. The other day an old gentle man approached the younx lady Who attends to this department and said, almost in a whlnper, 'Gimme a money order.' 'How much?' asked the young lady'.' Looking carefully, all around him Ihe replied, 'Two gallon.' INTKRESTINO.CONTEST. Mr. W. S. Dorr was In charge of an exciting contest, in which over 20 prizes were offered, each representing products of the Colgate and Company concern. The first prise, three boxes of Octagon soap powder, was won by Mr. J. A. Smith; the second prize, two boxes of the same powder, was won by Mr. W. O. Ktlkeleather; the third prize, one box of the washing pow ders, was won by Mr. J. W. Cullough, a country merchant. Twenty small prizes, of five packages each, were dra'wn -by cltv and country merchants, these being Messrs.. F. M. Kirby, W. A. Neal A. H. Pyron. C. B. Griffin. J. C. Hunter, W. L. Austin, 8. J.

A card was handed to each visitor as he or she entered the grounds, while a duplicate number was re tained by the representatives of tha company, and the numbers were drawn by a little girl, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, following the din ner. An exciting game of baseball was called at 4 o'clock between teams representing the wholesalers and re tailers, the latter winning out .by a score of IS to 11. This feature of I Buy " ; J 5!

The aver age banker will tell you that-Jie has not time to be public-spirited. He says that his first duty as he rightly appre hends It is to. make dividends for his stockholders,' to psovlde daily bread for his family, and 'incidentally 'for himself, and when he has done that and taken a little necessary recreation it is bed time.- So he Is a good father, a good husband and mindful of his stockholders' Interest, but what sort of a citizen Is he? When the commu nity, when the merchant calls on him to lend a hand he practically says what Felix said to Paul: "Go thy way for this time; when I have a con venient season I will call on you." But sooner or later generally sooner- Child of Mr. and Mrs. W. K.

The York vllle's Ohlext Citizen Special to The Observer. Yorkvllle, 8. l. Sept. 8. Mr. Wil liam B.

"What are you fellows going to do to-morrow at your county conven tion?" asked an Observer man of a well-known Republican last night. "Lots," was the rather assuring answer. "I can't say positively, but from what I have heard, we will not con test all the offices." "Where will the best fight toe?" Why, the Republicans are going to try to get a man or two on the county board of education. You would be surprised to know of the amount of dlsBatlsfactlon existing to day among the Democrats of the county over the present superinten dent of education. We have nothing against the present board. It seems to do Its work well enough, so far as It has the control, but the people art- not sansned with the superin tendent. "We have assurances from many staunch Democrats that they will give us their votes If we put out capable candidate for this board, and that is what we are going to do. There are many citizens -who have not been fjrlving the present board their votes ior tne last two elections, simply be cause of the disfavor ln which the superintendent Is held. If we can poll the dissatisfied vote of th. nm. ocratlc party, that faction which has not been balloting- for the present board, and add the full Republican strength of the county, we can easily elect our candidates." "Hew about the legislative ticket?" continued the newspaper man. "It looks now as If only ona man would be put In the field for the Leg islature.
