WILL BE FEATURE
Of Western North Carolina
, Fair Co-operiaptn of . All
W. N. C. Lodges Desired.
The management' of the Western
North .Carolina Fair association Is
making plana for a big '"Brother
hood" day for a feature of the fair
here In October, and letters are be
ing sent out today to the secretaries
of the various fraternal orders of the
city, In which it Is requested that a
committee from each be named . to
meet with the management on the
evening of June 9 at 8 o'clock to go
over the matter and draft a prelimin
ary program of arrangements.'
Last year there was a small fea
ture of this kind, but It was restrict
ed to two orders, these two simply
arranging central meetings here dur-'
ing fair week and taking part for
one day in the fair program. For
this year,, however, it Is desired that
the day be observed on a much more
elaborate Bcale. One of the suggest
ed features will be an address by
a man ..of prominence who Is affi
liated with a large number of frat
ernal organizations. There will be
also big parade and other features
to be worked out' later. ,
The day is not being planned alone
for the secret organization of Ashe
vllle, but for those of all of west
ern North Carolina. The associa
tion' desires that every lodge of the
section be represented here on that
day in such a manner that the oc
casion will represent in the true
sense of the word the "Brotherhood"
of western North Carolina. By
launching the movement at this time
it Is believed .that such a jday will be
a decided success and every effort
will be put, forth to make it one.
TO
This Is Theme of Dr. Claxton,
Addressing - Graduates of
Peace Institute.
Special to The Gazette-News. '
Raleigh, May 22. Taking the posi
tion that the only road to material
wealth and culture Is by the education
of the children, Dr. P. P. Claxton,
United Ktutes commissioner of educa
tion, today addressed the graduating
class of Peace Institute. There was
a large audience present to hear him.
He said his theme was not a new
one, but he wanted to emphasize his
belief that the only way for any peo
ple to rise above themselves Is by
education. Dr. Claxton spoke with
feeling and eloquence and paid a
beautiful tribute to the parents of
tho young women, many of whom, he
knew, were exercising a commendable
leif-sucrlflre In giving their-daughters
the opportunity to. help In mak
ing the nation great.

Governor Craig has been advised
by a Paterson, N. J., prophet, name
not given, that the state of North
Carolina is already doomed. The
warning was written May . 13, 1913,
and is as follows: "Governor. Ac
cording to the phrophesy of the Unit
ed States of America the state of
North Carolina Is condemned and all
pertaining to the United States Is and
was condemned. Information. .; Ask
and ye shall be told." Just how
the state is' to be destroyed" the prop
het omitted to say.
, At least twenty counties have
made application for the 820,000
money available for a model road to
be built under the auspices of the
federal government, and three coun
ties are making earnest efforts to
get the sum. The government ap
propriated $40,000 to this state and
Governor Craig diverted 820,000 to
the mountains. Lenoir, Wayne,
Johnson and Wake are desirous of
contributing $40,009 to a model high
way. One of the propositions is to
build a road from Raleigh' to Clay
ton, a distance of 14 miles, and to
ward this $20,000 has been secured

city and Clayton. Another proposi
tion is to build a perfect boulevard
from Rnlcigh to Cary, a distance of
nine miles.

upon the Japanese residents of Cali

party and one of a commission sent to
this state to Investigate the land hold

The venerable statesman pointed
out that It was tho unanimous desire
of the people of his country to reach
a satisfactory settlement and It un
doubtedly could be accomplished by
peaceable means.
The relations between the two coun

pant ns to preclude the possibility of
any but an amicable, adjustment. '
"Vhe whole of' Japan the govern

endeavoring to solve this California
question peacefully,", he said, "and. It
seems to me the Japanese government

the meeting, said:
"Japan entered into treaty relations
with the United States after persistent
persuasion of Commodore Perry. In
their first treaty Japan and the United

here, trusting our lives and property

ARE DETERMINED
TO SECURE LIGHTS
Committees Will Start Tomor
row on. Campaign for the
Ornamental Lights.
EXPECT TO RAISE
MONEY IN FEW DAYS
New System Will Cost Leas lor Year
Than Old Cost for Only
Three Months.
The campaign to raise funds for the
Installation of ornamental lights on
Patton avenue, Pack square and North
and South Main streets will be
launched -tomorrow morning. The
campaign will continue until the nec
essary funds are raised, the men be
hind the matter having decided Anally
that Ashevllle. should have these
lights, and with this set determination,
there is a feeling that the money will
be forthcoming.. Nor is it not expect
ed that the campaign will consume
very many days. . .,
There will be an element of compe
tition in this campaign. Committees
of four men each were appointed this
morning to work . on the four thor
oughfares named above, and the first
of the streets that raises the amount
necessary will have the lights installed
first The matter of pride among the
property - owners and merchants on
these streets will be aroused and will
be maintained by the publishing of
dally reports, and the publication of
the names of the men signing the
agreement.
The committees who will work are
constituted aa follows: Patton .ave
nue S. Liplnsky, D. L. Jackson, E. L.
Ray and Mark W. Brown; Pack square
J. R. Oates, Archibald Nichols, S. P.
Burton and Dr. F. S. Smith; South
Main street- Haywood Parker, Morris
Meyers, Frank LoUghran and F. Stlke-
leather; North Main street C. C, Mil
lard, J. L. Smathers, J. W. Neely and
Hugh LaBarbe. There will be a meet
ing to night at 8:30 o'clock. of these
men, together with the other mem
bers of the board of trade committee
that has been working on the project,
and the plans of the campaign will be
gone over and everything definitely ar
ranged.-
These matters were decided, and the
committees named, at a meeting this
morning of the board of trade com
mittee for ornamental street lights.
E. C. Sawyer, the committee chair
man, presided and the following men
were present: S. Liplnsky, F. M.
Weaver, D. L. Jackson, E. L. Ray, E. '
C. Chambers, F. Stlkeleather and J.
S. Hu'rsey. . Mr. Hursey was named as
the secretary of the committee. There
were also present at this meeting: J.
C, Donald and Oscar White of the
Ashevllle Power & -Light company;
Mr. Folger, lamp expert of the Gen
eral Electric company of Philadelphia;
and Mr. Perry of the holophane works
of the same company.-
The plans and blue prints which
were made some time ago were again
gone over to find if any improvements
could be suggested, and there was con
siderable discussion as to the placing
of the light standards and the prompt
ness with which the lights may be put
Into use after the agreements are all
signed.- The 'standards will be placed
56 to 60 feet apart and every other
one will be an extension pole for the
carrying of trolley wires. These will
have four lights on them, while the
others will carry five. The top light
will be much larger than the others
and will be burned all night. It is es
timated that the installation could be
made and the lights turned on within
six weeks after the agreements are
signed by property owners and busi
ness men. , (
During this meeting photographs
were shown of the streets of other
cities where similar lighting systems
are now being used, and those pres
ent became enthusiastic over the im
mediate prospects of having Ashevllle
thus illuminated. The appearance of
the streets under the new system will
be metropolitan, as the city deserves
to appear. f .
The men who will solicit for the
Installation of the new system, how
ever, will not argue alone on beauty.
They will call attention to the fact
that under the new system the lights
for the entire first year will cost less
than the criss-cross lights formerly
used cost for only three months. They
can show, too, that property values
will be enhanced.

sentiment Improved today, although
further weakness was exhibited by
a few minor railroad and industrial
shares.
The representative stocks, after an
Initial period of heaviness, ruled

that a good market existed for the

regarded as reassuring.

cables, apprehensions of excessive
rains all In the western belt, and the
failure of the market to weaken on
the breaking of the dry spell in the

account for part of the buying, and
prices worked above yesterday's
high level 1 after a few .stop orders
were uncovered.
