TONIGHT'S MEETING. - The annual meeting of the Greater rrhai-lotte Club is to be held in the nammhlv room of tha Selwyn Hotel tonight and the purpose of this meet in la th annual election of officers and the transaction of such other tnisiTtAss as should come before the 'organization. -' ' The club is already recognized as a prominent factor in the work of pro moting the upbuilding of the Queen, City;, and in the years of its existence, under the leadership of Secretary W. T. Corwith, the club has accomplished a large measure of good. The future of the organization, like the future of Charlotte is bright With a strong membership, united for the best inter, ests.of the entire citizenship compos ed of men of all the various walks of life, there is hardly an obstacle that cannot be overcome. The organization -will be able to accomplish much great "er result in the coming years than ever before. The period of organi sation ' has past. It is now a power ready and waiting to be utilized. The newly-elected secretary, Mr. Leake Carraway, will take charge of the work of the club October 10 and will have with him a new president and two new" vice presidents, who are to i be chosen at the annual meeting of the club to be held tonight. These officers will lead the Charlotte busi ness men'to large things during the coming year. '.'.; ' .' '? .-- i TRANSFORMED THE "WORM. ! l' The International Congress of Hy giene and Demography recently - as sembled in. Washington and this is the first time In sixty years of its existence that this body of distinguished scien tists have held"; their sessions in. this country. The members were given a cordial 1 reception - by President Taft ; and the discussions were delightfully enjoyable. One of the most famous men who attended the congress was Sir Thomas Oliver, .who made the statement tnat notwithstanding " the outcry against machinery and its de teriorating influence upon the work ing people, the use of steam and elec tricity had - transformed . the .world. It .has cheapened production and in creased employment, while by break ing down international barriers, it has brought people of different tongues together, has widened the outlook of humanity and added to the sum of wealth and happiness. " - Several days ago The Salisbury Post commented .thusly, on the senatorial - race : "According to some recent re ports Governor. Kitchfn is picking up some unexpected support in some of these strong Simmons counties of the piedmont section. A report has it that bets are even : in Cabarrus and that Stanly and Mecklenburg are showing signs of turning from the Senator to the Governor." The Concord Times , replies to the comment as follows: "The , above is amusing in, regard to this county. . Brother Hurley has evi- , dently- been listening to' some of the wild' claims of the .Kitchlnites here, which are enough to make a , horse laugh. If the editor of The Post will talk, to the Democratic voters from various parts of the city and county be will find that at least three-fourths . of them are for Senator Simmons." : , Tiin cost or living. U' Tt, V. Yoakum, an authority "and the chairman'of the" board of dl rectors of the St. Louis and San au Cisco Railroad Company, makes some calculations concerning the Increased cost of living during the past ten years and the statements made are startling. According to his calculation the rel ative rate of the rise of prices - is shown thus: What a; dollar, will, buy in England, it requires 31.02 to buy in Belgium; 31.18 in France; sl.lS in Germany 'and 31.39 in ;; the ' 'United States. . Yet prices have . of v, course gone up in England also. Concerning' the statement made by Mr." Yoakum, -World's Work says: "While it is true that the rise of prices is a world-wide movement, it has not been a: uniform', movement - by " any means. To general causes must be added also local causes. - And' among the local causes in the United States, whatever others there : may be,. ; ; two surely stand out: the tariff and the wasteful organization of . our distrib uting machinery. One might say the wasteful machinery of our whole and financial Ufa. And - these are causes that it is within our power ; to remove. We can really revise .the tariff downward. We can give 1 the farmers an economical system of cred. it; we can spread .co-operative, buying and selling; we can make good roads; we can cut out useless middlemen and middle machinery. We can begin at the bottom if we are so minded, and manage our. affairs, not as adventur era and exploiters of a new continent. but as an orderly and properly organ ized community of - economic human beings who know that waste is crime and leads to poverty." f "ft TI3 fftCT' v About a year ao the health depart ment was added to that commenda ble feminine organization known l as the Woman's Club or this city with Mrs. Edward T. ' Garsed as chairman. : That this lady and the others who have been working with her have; not been inactive during this time 'is shown -;,by a visit , to the "Pure , Food Show now going on at the Auditorium. It is not only the first pure food show in this- section of the country, but it is the -. best ; and largest show of its kind ever held out of theNsity of New York, Atlanta holding one similar dur ing the manufacturers exhibit' there some. Ume.' ago,' but Jt as 'in nbvay the equal of the v one now being held in Charlotte. ' " , , ' ' C The , ladies have been very fbrtu- nate in securing Mr. Temple Emery, J r.', ' of St. Louis,' MoJ, as manage of the show. Mr. Emery has long been connected with Mr. F. W. .Paine, man ager of the Coliseum Company, which is one of the best known nromotesrs of shows. N ' The Auditorium is very attractively decorated in green' and white and presents a pleasing appearance when one enters. s ! main-entrance, and there is on display packages of that delicous breakfast food Post toastes, grape-nuts ana postum. -Every day the people in charge of the booth serve hot postum with cream to 1 the ' i visitors. This booth is in charge of Mr. "Vest, who is the distributing agent in the South, and Miss Bates of Richmond, Va., as well as being aided by four local dem ontrators. : Samples of these " articles -are given to those, who, desire them.. All sorts of propositions ' are be ing made concerning the question of tolls to be fixed for foreign ships us ing the Panama canal. Some are ab-v surd while others have merit A French writer, M. Francois Mange, in urging immediate action in fixing the tolls and unit of tonnage for other na tions " appeals to the United States, masters1 of the work," to ' exercise their rights with ' great moderation, to strive - for that real naturalization of the new route which shall give to all and to each, the same, profits and the same- protection. The Boston Globe, commenting upon, this appeal says : "This is the right spirit. It is natural for us to desire that the ca nal should . profit our, - own , people above others, because of the ' large amount of money the. enterprise has cost. After that has been arranged satisfactorily, other nations should be placed on equal footing and so treat ed ; as to win universal good will for the 'masters of the work. It must al ways be born in , mind that the Pan- ama Canal - should enable us to buy as -well as to sell, goods on reasonable terms.. ' It appears that every little while somebody determines to not to allow Columbus "to rest in peace. ' Not long since a Jewish rabbi Insisted 4hat the discoverer of America was a Jew and now ; comes a member of the Royal Spanish Geographical Society with the claim that Columbus was a Span iard and not an Italian. Y The Spanish scientist says that the veil of mys tery that has for four centuries en shrouded the cradle of Columbus has at last heen;' torn asunder to reveal him without doubt or argument as a Spaniard.- Dr. Horta says that the Italian lineage of the discoverer was accepted because tnere was no au thentic, - respectable and " authorized historic ! documents" to prove to .the contrary. On the other hand, the Spanish historian says .the only ac cepted proof of the Italian birth of Columbus was his own statement that he was born in Genoa. ' The Lexington Dispatch . has this comment of the recent" speech deliv ered by Governor Kitchin: "Jim Beall, did . 'you know , that you and your neighbors did not build ' that road down In Boone township at- all ? You may( think, you did, but you dldn't--Kitchin built it. How do we know? Whyiie said so himself here in Lex ington last Wednesday night; f he not only claimed credit for that, hut for 1,699 other miles that have been built in i the State in the -last four, years. Back , off, I Jim, seddown! You're no road' builder at all; you got the back ache, to be sure, but Kitchin is getting the credit, so what's the use ". . Recently , this paper expressed the opinion that Judge Clark was gaining Strength and In the last Issue, The Al bemarle Enterprise says: "If Judge Clark continues to make gains during the next-few weeks that he has made during the past month, the senatorial race may . be narrowd down to Clark and Simmons, since it is said that ""Kitchin voters are fast going over to the ' Judge. ' -There is not any doubt ' that the Judge is a good campaigner and he Is strong in gray matter." - """: 'This is the way it 'looks to The Greensboro Patriot: 'The Kitchin Simmons fight goes' merrily along and the thoughtful man still wonders why there should be a change- while the politician cannot see to save his soul, how any Democrat can oppose h the trust-bester "who never busted a trust. But then, it was ever thus there are none eo - blind as those who will not pee." - f ' r: The Greensboro Patriot says: "The good road work in the county is pro gressing out tnere .must be more haste else the fall rains will take the foundations. - The macadam is going to pieces very rapidly and the commis sioners must get larger forces to work or -the county will lose thousands of dollars." ' - . The : Laurlnburg , Exchange an nounces a change of ownership. Mr. E. H. Gibson retires after : three years of splendid service and Mr. J. P. Wiggins of Maxtoh, a former own er of the paper, takes charge. ' . Mr. Wiggins will have the , assistance of Mr. Mac Cameron' on the editorial staff. ' :. The Concord ; Daily Tribune an nounces that It, is now a regular sub scriberJ:o the telegraphic news serv Ice' of the United Press of New York. This is one of the oldest . and best newsi gatherers for afternoon, papers in the oouutry. The Chronicle .has it on very good authority that Postmaster McKesson of Morganton will withdraw, from the congressional race and that the Re. publican congressional committee will name another candidate to run against Congressman Webb. 1 j ':t:.:L Throughout the soacious buildine are booths representing local and for eign v4 manufacturers and 'business houses. . It would be a nuzzllne- Ques tion to decide just which one has ex celled In attractiveness, because there are no faults to be found with any of them. No one is allowed to exhibit in "the ' buiudlng. unless their wares are approved by the pure food and drug act. There are several booths that . do not have things ; to eat. but throughout the whole Auditorium axe things to be seen that aid in sanitary conditions, and it is . really a revela tion to yi it the place. : r isvery day there are lectures eiven by someone who has made. pure foo a or sanitary conditions a study. This afternoon Miss Alice Lakey, chairman. rood committee. National Consumers' League and also chairman committee on consumer's New York milk com mittee, will lecture on "Food Adulter ations." Tonight she will give a talk on ."Clean Milk." Miss Lakey has a demonstration or impure' , articles which have-been 'taken from the dif ferent manufacturers r and business concerns showing what some. of the dangerous articles are composed of, and these will be used in the lecture. Those who attend the c show are treated twice a, day to a band con cert by the First Regiment Band of North Carolina of which Capt C. M. Webster is director. The concerts be gin in the afternoon at 2 o'clock and last until i , and in the ecening from 7:30 until 10. . Immediately upon entering the main entrance on College street one's at tention is drawn to the booth of the Woman'sClub on the t right." Here they distribute literature; given out by the health department of the ? State which will be found very helpful for sanitary conditions about the home, and elsewhere, v To say that the booth is pretty is ; about' all the writer can ir&yj and it is enough.
