After the address Dr. Newlln called on those present for testimonials on what the convention and the meeting naa aone ror mem. and there were several responses. The speaker pro nounced the benediction and there waa an Informal reception at the meeting's close. Following are the resolutions, which were adopted: "The North Carolina Baraca-Phlla-thea convention of 1917 has been the recipient of hospitality, courtesy and care from Its hosts such as have never been surpassed by anything which haa been showered upon any preced ing gathering of the workers In the Old North State. The pains taken by the people of Ashevllle, the religious bodies and the social and commercial units of the city to make this con vention large In numbers, great In enthusiasm, pleasant In progress and effective In results, have been many and untiring; and they have been, pleasing and successful. If our hosts had come to Ashevllle unannounced, the occasion would have been very pleasant Indeed simply because we have been in Ashevllle. the beautiful; but to come to this ideal convention and city, and, upon arriving, to find that the whole city haa apparently been astir In our behalf during many months. Is an experience which we are forced to believe is reserved for those whom the King dellghteth to honor Ashevllle, king of hosts. "Therefore, when we whose names appear nelow round that we were designated to express the thanks of the Haraca-I'hlliathea convention for the many things which have made this gathering one of Inspiration, de lightful surprises, royal entertainment and splendid Instruction, we feel the task la one of greater mugnltude than we can possibly hope to accomplish; but we shall endeavor to perform our duty In a fitting manner. "We feel that we are especially Indebted to "(1) The Aahevllle City union and local committees for the completeness of the arrangements and well executed plans fop this great convention- for the hearty cooperation of their presi dent and Mrs. N.

We owe a special debt of gratnuae to the management of the Battery Tnrk hotel for Its courtesy ana sinanens on the evening of our cordial, hearty reception in giving u the privilege of using the palm-room and for the many other evidences of interest in our well-being. "(I). To F. L. Heely. of Orove Park Inn. we are moro than arateful for an afternoon of delightful enter tainment, such as many of us have not been privileged to enjoy heretofore; for his klndneaa and gracious interest In our welfare which he manifested In more than one way; and also to t.

COLORED INFANT HAS SEVERAL 'MOTHERS' Lt-FT OS DOORSTKP LATE 6CN DAY NIGHT. A part of tha Howland property, In the Orove Park aertlon. and one of the most beautiful placet In thla coun try, haa been sold to George Stephens, president of the American Trust com pany. Charlotte, and principal owner of the Kanua colony, near Hender- Bunvuia. wnere at one time It was proposed to established a camp for tuivin.u uermans. Mr. Stephens has purchaaed the property for a summer home and It Is understood he will improve It bv the rrocuon or a residence In aorord with tha natural beauty of the place. No announcement of the price has been made. I'nlmproved lots still seem to be greatly In demand here, say real es tate operators, who observe no les sening in Intereat on the part of the Investing public in this class of se curities. Neither do the real estate men notice any Interruption In the upward trend of value, and they are quite positive there Is going to be none- "Ashevllle Is a real city, now," said Fred W. Thomas, yesterday. "The city Is growing in a way that means a big city and that soon." "I repeat what I said the other night." said E. LI. Anthony, member of the new firm of Anthony broth ers. "If I didn't believe that Aahe vllle would have GO. 000 people Inside of, five years my firm wouldn't be spending the monev here that It Is. "Ashevllle la the natural capital of western North Carolina, said another business man, "and as the surrounding territory Is developed so Ashevllle must develop and grow. Kvldently the suburbs of the city are going to show the next marked growth, so far as new residences are concerned. In dustrially, I look for a quick expans ion In the lumber and timoer indus tries. If the Murphy division handled 17,000 cars of wood products last year it can onlv be a matter of conjecture how manv thev will handle this year." There have been no transfers of business property during the past week. Work la being pushed on the new apartment house at the corner of Haywood and North French Broad and B. H. Sumner and son have an nounced their Intention of erecting another modem apartment building. The Roebllng development on Hay wood street is tne most important one now under way here and the big building will cover something more than an acre. FUNERAL TODAY FOR WALTER N.
