CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Mr. Wittkowsky, by Request,
Withdraws His Resignation
Other Business.
The Charlotte Chamber of Commerce
held the most enthusiastic and business-like
meeting in the Ihistory last
night. The attendance was the largest
of any meeting since its organization.
In the absence of Mr. Shannonbouse,
Mr. Brevard Nixon was called to per
form the duties of secretary.
Mr. Wittkowsky, after a few well
chosen remarks, tendered his resigna
tion as president of the Chamber. His
reason for resigning, he said, was not
because he was not willing to devote
his time and money, if necessary for
the benefit of the association, trafe be-s
cause he had not had the support and
co-operation of the members; the var
ious committees had not met and or
ganized for work as they should have
done, and without their help the organ
ization must be a failure. The city of
Charlotte, with its 30,000 inhabitants,
should also aid in the enterprise. It
will require at least $5,000 a year to
carry forward the work planned for
this organization. Of this amount the
city could well afford to give at least
$2,500. The work of the Chamber is
designed to benefit every inhabitant
of this city.
Mr. D. E. Allen, the second vice-president,
was called to the chair. On mo
tion of Mr. Jordan, Mr. Wittkowsky
was unanimously requested to with
draw his resignation, and the individ
ual and effective support of every mem
ber of the Chamber pledged to him.
Mr. Wittkowsky then consented -to
withdraw his resignation and re-entered
upon the duties of his office.
The business transacted by the meet
ing was as follows:
On motion of Mr. Jordan the election
of permanent secretary was recom
mitted to the executive committee with
power to act.
On motion of Mr. Franklin the presi
ident was appointed a member of the
Philadelphia Museum, with power to
appoint another member.
A letter, from Mr. J. A. Helvin was
read, in which he donated a 'phone for
the use of ; the Chamber. On motion
of Mr. Mayer the 'phone was accepted
and thanks extendel to Mr. Helvin.
A communication from the inter
state commerce commission was read
concerning the recnt ; bill introduced
in Congress, and on motion of Mr. Mil
ler referred to the committee on freight
and freight rates. -
Mr. D. A. Tompkins was, on motion
of Mr. Jordan, requested to address the'
Chamber on the second Thursday in
March.
Mr. Mayer gave notice of motion to
change .the. by-laws so' that the regular
meetings may be held on every second
Tuesday, of each ; month. ";'
On m otion of , Mr. 1 ; Hutchison, Dr.
Graham was unanimously asked to re
consider his resignation as first vice
president, vev
The Southern Railway Company was
on motion of Mr. McCall, petitioned
to erect a shed at the passenger de
pot. The matter of making Charlotte a
railway gateway was referred to the
committee on railroads? etc.
The use of the ball was granted the
Mechanics' Perpetual Building and
Loan Association for the use of their
annual meeting.
On motion of Mr. Miller, the 20th of
May exercises were referred to "th-3
committee en entertainments..
On motion of Mr. Wilson, Mayor Mc
Call was requested to correspond with
Hon. J. C. Pritchard in regard to secur
ing for Charlotte one of the guns cap
tured from the Spanish.
On motion of Mr.. Nixon a resolution
asking Congress to appoint a resident
clerk for the Federal Court at Char
lotte was unanimously adopted. Mr.
Nixon said in support of his resolution:
"This is no political matter, but pure
ly a matter of business. I understand
that this office would pay about' $1500.
From a business standpoint this would
be equivalent to Charlotte securing a
! new enterprise of $15,000. In other
words $1500 a year represents a fair in
come on $15,000 investment. It is the
provence of this Chamber to secure all
such incomes to be brought to the city
lit possibly can. Aside from this the
office would be most convenient for the
attorneys who practise in the Federal
Cout (here. , We have a resident clPk?
of the Criminal Court, a resident cV&
of the Superior Court, and it seems to
me there can be no argument, from a
business standpoint or a standpoint cf
convenience, why we should not have
a resident clerk of the Federal Court:"

M'KINLEY HERE.
The President's Brother and
Party in Charlotte for
Several Hours.
A DISTINGUISHED PARTY.
Mr. McKinley Says Charlotte
Looks Like a "Yankee Town.'
He Was Interested in the flon
ument ; the Hills ; the Politics
and People.
Attached to the Seaboard 8 o'clock
train this morning was a private car
containing Mr. Abner McKinley, broth
er of the President, wife and daughter,
Miss Mabel McKinley; Miss Dora Jar
vis and Mr. W. H. Davis, a retired mer
chant of New York. The party left Old
Point yesterday, accompanied by Mr.
Allen, general passenger agent of the
Seaboard, for a trip over the Seaboard,
taking in Charlotte, Southern Pines,
Raleigh and Columbia, S. C. The ar
rival of the party was heralded last
night by a telegram to Capt. K. S.
Finch, agent of the Seaboard, who con
ferred at once with Mr. D. A. Tomp
kins, a director of the road, as to their
reception and entertainment.
Mayor McCall and Mr. S. Wittkows
ky, president of the Chamber of Com
merce, were invited to accompany
Messrs. Tompkins and Finch to the
station and bid r,the McKinley. party
welcome to Charlotte. Others who
were there to greet them were Messrs.
E. W. Thompson, Charles F. Wads
worth, I. E. Avery .and libe News' re
porter. Carriages were in waiting and
the party drove up Tryon street to the
square, thence to the monument; then
to the Atherton mill. Messrs. McKinley
and Davis were very much interested
in the monument and the history which
it perpetuates. The party went from
there to the Atherton mill.
The visitors were greatly inter
ested in what they . saw. They spent
some time ; in the mill, examining the
product and asking questions in refer
ence to labor in the South. On their
return from the mill the gentlemen
were entertained by Mr. Tompkins at
the Manufacturers Club where tariff
on corks was discussed as well as. pro
tection and expansion. The party then
returned to the car to rejoin the ladies
who had not yet appeared when they
left fc.rnfcher jaunt over town. Mr. Mc
Kinley -is very l much like his brother,
the President, not only in. face, but
manner. He is , rather short and stout,
with the smooth, McKinley face, good.
clear eye, pleasant address, easy in
manner and en rapport with his crowd
no matter whence it comes. This was
his first visit to' this section, and ihe
was interested in it geographically, so
cially, politically and domestically, He
asked many questions in regard to' the
various conditions of this section. The
first thing he said when the carriage
was about half way up Tryon street
was: "Why, this looks like a Yankee
town." "You've got that wrong," said
Mr. Tompkins. "The Yankee towns
look like this." The laugh was on the
Ohio-New Yorker. Mr. McKinley is a
lawyer. He has been living in New
York eighteen years. . He, says they
have an Ohio society in New York of
400 people. z $
He was especially interested in the
changing conditions of the South as
marked by the amount of wihite labor
he saw here. He asked as to the
amendment its purpose and chance
of carrying. He thinks with the negro
out of politics the Republican party in
the South will grow rapidly.
"From the class of white labor I see
I don't suppose you have any
labor trouble." "None," said Mr.
Tompkins. "We don't ?iave the for
eign element to contend 'with. A very
small percentage of the population in
this State is foreign." "But," said Mr.
McKinley, laughing, "you Democrats
won't have a showing up North df it
were not for this foreign element."
Mr. McKinley traveled part of the
way Soutih, with Bryan. Said he: ."I
fcnow.him very well. I found him
pleasant and ready to tallc he is al
ways that," said he, smiling: ''
Mr.--McKinley and family have been
at Old Point for several weeKs, on ac
count of Mrs. McKinley's health. The
trip. South" was also made on his ac
count. Their daughter is an invalid.
Mr. Davis,' "who accompanied them,
is one of New York's millionaires. He
and Mr. McKinley are great
friends. The party left at noon- for
Southern Pines.

Rev. A. P. Hammond, the pioneer
evangelist of America, is in the city
odav. Mr. Hammond is a native or

THE GREAT MEETING
Mr. Pearson Preached a Search
ing Sermon Last Night on the
"Blood of the Atonement." v
FIRST SHED, THEN APPLIED.
The Paschal Lamb Typified
Christ -Without Blood There
is no Remission oi Sins Blood
Must be Applied When,
and How God Commands.
The interest in the Pearson meetings
is growing daily. The jaudience last
night was one of the largest yet as
sembled in the church, and at no ser
vice was more interest, or earnestness
manifested. The attention was at times
intense. The .sermon was searching
and powerful. The preacher turned the
"flash-light" on each soul, and found
some "standing behind the blood,"
others not.
The subject, as previously announc
ed, was the "Blood of the Atonement."
The text was Exodus 12:13: "And the
blood shall be to you for a token upon
the houses where ye are: and wlien I
see the blood, I will pass over you and
the plague shall not be upon you to
destroy you when I smite the land cf
Egypt." As an introductory .to the
sermon the preacher gave an account
of the bondage in Egypt; of "the king
who knew not Joseph," and of his op
pression of the children of Israel, and
the origin of the passovor; . f the ;oia
mand to sprinkle the blood on the door
posts, so that the death angel, seeing
the blood, would pass over.
'From the call of Abraham down to
the birth of Christ," said the speaker,
"there is not, a more profitable nor in
teresting thing than the killing of the
Paschal Lamb. When John, came he
said: Behold the Paschal Lamb which:
taketh away the sin of the world. The
Paschal -Lamb was a type -.of Jesus
Christ, and as such I call your atten
tion to it tonight, noticing especially
three things: ,
"1. The blood.
"2. The shed blood.
"3. The applied blood.
"First, 'the blood.' It was the blood
cf the Pashal Lamb that effected the
deliverance of the Israelites. It was
'the blood' not the fleece,; meat or
spotlessnes. Hence the text:, 'When
I see the blood upon the doorV' .etc.
"What do we learn about 'the, Cos-
pel ?i it is the blood that wUdelivej?
our souls, wnat ao we neea to oe ae
tivered from? From the grip of the
idevil; from i the guilt of sin; from the
love, bondage and curse of siin; from
the future consequences' of sin. It is
the blood not t!he life, ministry, para
bles, doctrines, etc., of Christ that ef
fect this deliverance. Lev. 17:11: 'For
the life of the flesh is in the blood;
and I have given it to you upon the
altar, to make an atonement for your
souls; for it ds the blood that maketh
an atonement for the soul.' 1st John
1:5: 'And the blood of Jesus Christ
His Son cleanseth us from all sin.' The
blood atones. It cleanseth from all
sin. Now we go a step further tOvthe
"Shed blood of the Paschal Lamb. It
was not the fleece, nor the flesh, nor
the spotlessness of the Paschal Lamb,
but the blood, and it had to be shed.
What do we learn about the Gospel?
The propositions are parallel. That
there had to be the shed blood. The
atonement was made on the cross. He
shed His blood on the tree, and it was
the shedding of that blood that made
the atonement. Exodus 12:6. They
were commanded tpW.tUl the Paschal
Lamb. It would not jdo just to take the
blood out of the veins. The blood was
not good unless shed because God said
so. Hence in Heb. 9:22: 'Let us draw
near ,with a true heart in full assur-
ance of faith, having our hearts sprin
kled from an evil conscience.' Without
the shedding of blood there was no
mission. 'Hence Paul said: "l giory in
nothing save in the cross of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Why in the cross, Paul.'
cecause xie DQS&rouc, eojis-w-m
and there made! atonementfor 'sin. ;The
shed blood is the basis of atonement,
regeneration, justification "and salva
tion and on the basis of that blood
God can forgive . a sinner. That being
so it cujs .up' by the roots the doctrine
of . salvation by works; sacramentar-
ianism and reformation 1 am a believer
in" works they have their place-but
atonement is made by blood; not by
works. 'By grace are ye savedLthrougn
faith.' God's works are the result of
salvation, and salvation is based on the
atonement of Jesus Christ. 'My dear
friends, when you talk about going to
heaven by what you can do your good
works you don't know anything about
it. You are mistaken. You can't go
to heaven by your good works. Let's
suppose a case: There is a
man down there in : Egypt. He
has heard that the death angel
is to pass over the houses and
slay the first born. The man puts a
Placard, on which is, 'Good Works,' out
on his door. The death angel comes,
lne man says: 'Are you the death an
gel? The angel answers: 'Yes.' The
man says: 'I'm one of the best men i:
Egypt. I do this and I do that yo;i
see my placard 'Good Works.' ' 'Yes
says the death angel, but that is not
what God told me to look for. He tol J
me to look for the blood. Good work
are verygood, but you have set the
blood aside, and put good works in its
place, and that will not slave you, and
he smites the first born. That's the
case with the Pharisaical. sinner: he is
trying to save himself by saying to the
great God: 'Your death on -the cress
was not necessary. I can be saved by
my good works.' It is the. blood and
not good works that saves Lay aside
tue iaea tnat you are jugtified
works. '
by
As I said, it cuts up by the roots the
idea of sacramentarianiism. Many peo
ple think if they join the Church, are
baptized, confirmed or initiated, or
made a Church member by any pro
cess, and take the sacraments and con
form to the rules that i'r.-xt will savo
them. Let's suppose a rase in Egypt:
There's a man who hears of the com
ing of the death angel. He gets Moses
and Aaron together in the morning and
has a little church meeting and gets
them to take him into the Church. He
is baptized. To make sure, he gets
them to sprinkle him, then pour wa
ter on him, and then, to put him clear
under the water, and then he puts ft
placard out on his door: 'Ecclesiastical
Sacramentarianism.' When the death
angel comes, he says: 'You see that
placard?' The angel answers, 'Yes, but
that is not the blood. These things
you tell me of are all very good in
their place, but not on the door post.
That is no place for them. Nothing
takes the place of the blood.' Men are
making the same mistakes now, think
ing good works can save them. They
are saying to God: 'You dying on the
cross was unnecessary.' 'But as Judas
Iscariot went from the college of the
apostles to hell, so can anyone go from
the Church to hell. Get regenerated
and then join the Church and keep all
these things.
"And then this cuts up the doctrine
of reformation. Reformation of itself
and by itself isi absolutely worthless
Suppose a man named; Smith has a
store. A man named ' Jones comes in
and says: 'Smithy hereafter I am going:
to plank; the money down whenever I
buy anything from you. But Smith
says: 'But what about the money you
already owe me? This don't wipe out
your debt of the past.' Now put that
in religion: I submit that your reform
ation in the future does not wipe out
your past sins. Away with theology
that will not stand the test here on
the streets of Charlotte! Rom. 3:25:
'To declare his righteousness for sin
that are past, through theforebearance
cf God.' j a Make ! a . conf ession tonight -like
an ,hon3fcmah ah'd! put your faiths
In the Lord Jesus Christ and the blood'
of the atonment, and God the Father,
for the sake of. God the Son, will wash
away all those past sins. May God
help you tonight.
"Now to the applied blood. There
must be the blood, then the shed blooQ,.
and now what else? The applied
blood. God told them to sprinkle it
upon the dcor post. Suppose the death
rangel comes to. the door and the man
says: I did not apply it. I have it here
in the pitcher, I thougnt.it would do
as well there as on the door posts.' The
death angel says: 'God told you to ap
ply it.' It is not enough that it must
be shed, but it must be applied and in.
the way God has commanded. There's
where the universalist make the mis
take. They think the blood was shed
for all and, therefore, any man can be
'saved. But 1 tell you any man who
don't apply it will be lost. I tell you,
sinners, Christ is on the throne, but
He is not doing anything for you. He
made atonement for you on the cross,
and now He 13 on the throne interced
ing for His people. If you accept7 that
blood Christ will become your advo
cate and your intercessor. There are
three things in applying the blood:
"First, Wtere? God said on the
door posts, on the lintels.
Second, How? God said by hyssop,
"Third, When?
u Where? On the door posts no cn
the sills. The man says to the death
angel: 'Yes, I have the blood applied.
it is there on the sill. In my opinion I
thought it would do as well there cn,
rthe: ceiling as on. the door posts., Your
