Yesterday was celebrated by the town of Charlotte as the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence and the annual event is known as the "Twen tieth of May Celebration." Quite a cumber of the papers and especially those in South Carolina chide our Charlotte contemporaries on the wor shipping of this myth as they term it and claim there never was such a thing as a Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. We believe in its au thenticity as firmly as we do in the fact of our freedom from the mother country and are glad that the cit izens of Mecklenburg have patriotism enough about them to celebrate it nJ perpetuate its memory as well as .cgratulate them for their progres- ireness in putting up the money to ;.;rnih the amusements for the crowds which attend the celebration. Moore County News. Throughout the length and breadth of North Carolina you will find thou sands of true patriots who believe with you. The celebration just closed was no table in every respect, as the thou sands who attended will attest The next and the next May Twen tieth Celebrations will also be notable for the people of the state are not slow to show proper honor xo the mem ory of those first American citizens to proclaim their independence of the British crown. THE PISGAH FOREwT. That is good news published yester day to the effect that the Forestry Commission had arranged for the pux--chase of the Pisgah Forest, the great tract held by the Vanderbilt estate. There are over 80,000 acres of land included in this tract and unquestion ably some of the finest scenery on the Continent is to be found there. To preserve this forest In its nat ural beauty as- a National Park would be a wise act. One of the first thing3 Colonel Roosevelt said on arrival was that to pay Colombia $20,000,000 for her claims would be ' blackmail." Well, there are some acts worse than black mail. Is it not true that -I took the Canal and let congress debtae after-rards?" Charlotte has opened her Mecklen burg celebration with the "best show ever," and the rest of the state i3 ireen with envy. Asheville Citizen. Yes; one would have thought it St. Patrick's day in the office of the Greensboro New3. "And yet Charlotte had the biggest Say ever. Its. celebration was a great luccess." The above was written, not by The Greensboro News, but by an equally representative Greensboro paper. The Record. Rah for Charlotte! She can pull off a big celebration of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. Char lotte's independence of mythchievous historical heretics seem to be fully guaranteed. Wilmington Star.

Winston-Salem; a ' compound town of 25,000. population in North Caro lina, has a board of trade that pos sesses at lease one big, and so far as we know, new and novel idea. In the olddays when we used to have vol unteer fire departments, bdys were; given a sense of municipal responsibil ity and participation In citizenship through coffee-boy brigades and torch companies which responded to all fire calls and attempted to assist the fire men in their- work of relief and pro tection. ! . But: Winston-Salem has .come to a bigger idea. This progressive South ern town is developing the duties of citizenship in the coming generation by creating a boys board of trade: And this is no toy enterprise; it is a live; acting auxiliary to the city board of trade. The boys between the ages of 14 and 21 are eligible and are en couraged to become members. The membership fee is nominal, purposely so that every boy may join. Many a father in Winston-Salem who does not regard himself as of sufficient indus trial Importance to affiliate with the board of trade, or who perhaps thinks he cannot afford such membership, can afford to let his son be a member of the junior board and is eager to se cure membership for his son. This father has learned that this affiliation gives his son not only a sense of proprietorship in his city, a sense of the responsibility of citizen ship, but it fixes upon him at once a wholesome aspriation. The boy wants some day to be an influential member of the real board and to do the real wor of an industrial citizen. Each boy who joins this board is required to take the ancient Athenian oath of loyalty to his city. This em phasizes the seriousness of his re sponsibility. The board of trade proper recog nizes the importance of the junior board so far that it extends the privi lege to the junior board of attending all the regular meetings of the board of trade and of taking patr in its de bates, though not of voting. This gives to every boy over 14 years of age the right of speech, the right of'attending all meetings, in fact every right of a regular member of the board of trade except that of the right to vote. To give these boys a tangible idea of the workaday life in which they shall later bear their part, a group of them, j chosen from students in tie depart ment of government and economics of .the high school, were set to the task of making an industrial census of Winston-Salem. Thejr received detail ed schedules to fill out. After studying these schedules, they visited every manufacturing plant in the city, gath ering data with painstaking care. From their reports, a statistical review of the industries was worked out that showed totals for such elements as the number of these establishments, their capital investment, the number of salaried employes and traveling sales men and their salaries, the num ber of wage earners and their wages, the cost of raw materials, the value of the finished, products, and other de tails which, taken altogether, gave not only the boys, but the men of Winston Salem as well, a new and concrete con ception of the wealth and industry of their city. But to the boys, especially, this sur vey was an inspiration. It made real ities of the text-book teachings about economics. The sense of fellowship between the old boj-s and the young boys, the common ground of a common interest, the common hopes built upon a com mon knowledge, go far to bind the school to the practical school life, to make the older boys young in spirits and the younger boys firmer in waith and hope. Winston-Salem will profit by her school of citizenship-making. She will harvest what she hath sown and she hath sown good seed. DO NOT EXPERIMENT WITH YOUR TEETH!

Asheville, May 22. President L. L. Jenkins of the American Natljnal Bank left this morning for Lenoir, where it is probable that he and sev eral other prominent bankers will ar range today for the re-opening of the First National bank of Lenoir, which closed its doors about 10 days ago. It is understood here that National Bank Examiner J. K. Doughton and Special Agent C. L. Williams of the treasury department have recommend ed that the plan suggested by these bankers for re-opening the institution be accepted, althougk. this report has not yet been confirmed by the treas ury department. This confirmation, however, is expected today. According to a dispatch recently re ceived from Washington, tiie proposi tion of Mr. Jenkins and others was to put suflicien funds into the Lenoir bank to again put it on a sound basis, although no names were given out at that time. With the plan receiving the recomendation of the examiner and special agent, there is apparently little doubt but that the bank will be re-opened today. BIG SHIPPING CONCERNS AMALGAMATE.
