THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, APRIL 10 1906. The Charlotte News , Published Daily (Except Sunday) NEWS PUBLISHING COMPANY. W. C. DOWD Pres. and Gen. Mgr. C. A. MATTHEWS City Editor TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1906. A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. In almost every feature which goes to make up a progressive city Char lotte is abundantly supplied, but there is one thing lacking. We do not be lieve in always closing our eyes to our defects and becoming enveloped in the cloak of false optimism. In many re spects Charlotte has no equal in the state as a city of thrift and progress, but we have not reached that state of perfection yet which we may attain. For some time we have been hear ing the different business men of the city speak of Charlotte's pressing need of some organization for the further ance of the different business inter ests of the city, commercial, industrial and manufacturing. This organization might be termed "The Merchants' Retail and Jobbers' Association," the "Board of Trade;" or, perhaps, the better title to thor oughly describe its multiform capacity would be the "Chamber of Commerce." In all of the large cities of import ance throughout the country such an organization is in effect and the ad vantages arising from these organiza tions may be noticed by even the most casual observer. In our state the large towns and cities have their boards of trade, etc., and the founding of these boards has ever marked an epoch in the growth of the different cities. A good example of the publicity given a city through this avenue and of the blessings arising from its exist ence is Wilmington. Seven years ago Wilmington had no -such organization ,and "fts' conditiocr 4i3njnight be de srrihprl as st.aamat.ed when conmared with Uie progressive condition of to day. In that city every four months the Chamber of Commerce and the newspapers issue a large publication describing the growth of the; city along every line and pointing out the work to be done, etc., and this means of advertising has meant more to the city of Wilmington than any agency connected with its growth. There are other towns and cities throughout the state in which like re sults have been realized. It fact, Char lotte is the only city of anything like its size in the state which does not have some mutual organization of the united business interests. Far be it from us to depreciate any of the different organizations or clubs existing in this city now which are striving to extend the interests of the city. They have been the source of great benefit to the city. We have now in this city the "Manu facturers' Club," which has been the means of greatly enhancing the manu facturing interests of this section. "The Greater Charlotte Club" has the progress of the city as its main object and it is doing a great work. The "Retail Merchants' Association" has also accomplished much for the merchants of the city and its fruits are varied and profuse. But to a certain extent each of these organizations is unable to take in the thorough and broad scope which the proposed Chamber of Commerce wouui cover. The influence of the proposed organ ization would extend far beyond the boundaries of the city, county and, in fact, the state, and would be a stimu lus to every phase of the city's en deavors. If such a chamber of commerce were organized there would be no friction, no enmity with the other or ganizations. In fact, the proposed or ganization would be merely the con summation of their attempts. It would prove withal the greatest ad ertising medium the city has ever known, and would be the means of ac celerating the manufacturing inter ests, of attracting capitalists and of building up the city and county. ' It is impossible to reach the state of development and progress possible without some such organization and we some definite action towards the launching of such an organization. ' If all the balance of the cities of the state can be blessed through such a medium, why not Charlotte? This city has reached that stage in its development where such an organi zation for the combined business in terests of the city is an absolute necessity. ERUPTION OF VESUVIUS. The horrors of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius grow every day. Judging from some of the dispatches of yester day we thought that there was some probability of a cessation of the dread eruptions, but the early dispatches of today add new tragedy to the entire affair and clothe it in the garb of gloom and horror. For centuries Mount Vesuvius has been wrecking its havoc at different intervals. At each eruption the story of death and fearful destruction has followed. Cities and towns have been utterly demolished and their entire population swept away without the slightest chance of succor. But for years no serious eruption has taken place. And probably this was the reason that towns and villages were built on the very verge of the agent of death. Judging from the reports of today there is little hope for an immediate cessation. New craters are opening up and the great streams of lava are threatening the surrounding towns, while the incessant shower of ashes is working its devastation. The whole country is covered in a deep mantle of as-hes like a sombre shroud and many; are the Victims who have suffocated. j? 1 1 1 1 T4- nnln iiom me uimumg suuwws. it was umy this morning that the weight of ashes caused the roof of a large building to collapse, killing something like 200 persons. Before it is all over the death list will, without doubt, be long and the amount of property loss exces sive. It is hard to understand how that right in close proximity to the fearful and deathly crater towns and cities have sprung up and have been popu lated with people apparently oblivious of their danger. The story is all sad and tragic in the most positive degree, and the en tire world joins in the hope and prayer that the eruption may speedily cease. The Spartanburg Herald of the 8th gave a full and profuse account of the coming Music Festival which is to be held in that city in May by the Con verse College Choral Society. The event bids fair to be one of the great est affairs held in that state in some time. There is nothing so high-toned, so thoroughly elevating and inspiring as a festival of this kind. These music festivals have ever been successful, but from the account of The Herald as regards the sale of seats the festival this year will eclipse anything of the kind ever given in that city. We are glad to note the success it is meeting with. submit the idea to our business men with the hope that their realization of the long-felt need may terminate in The first case of yellow fever has been announced in the South, and with its mention comes flocking back memories, sad and discouraging, of the fearful ravage of the disease in the South last year. It is the fervent hope of the entire country that this case may be the only one and that we may be spared from another onslaught like that of last year. VALET JONES SEEN. Cousin Gets a Glimpse of Him at His Father's Horns. Houston, Tex., April 10. Valet Jones is said to have been seen by J. O. Jones, his cousin visiting the home of Napoleon Bonaparte Jones, father of the valet. He heard a noise at a window and there saw Valet Jones. Since then it is said, Jones has left his father's house. When , representatives of Albert Pat rick were in Houston, J. O. Jones called upon them and offered to attempt to secure a statement from Charles F. Jones, tout demanded a large reward. Since then he has been negotiating with others, but his de: mands have been excessive. Midshipmen Abandon Jiu Jitsu. Annapolis, Md., April 9. Prof. Y. Yamashita, the jiu jitsu expert who instructed President Roosevelt in the art, gave the last of the series of fifty lessons covering last season and this to the midshipmen this afternoon. His contract has not been renewed and neither has he been successful in mak ing profitable engagements for the future. In fact, interest in his art has died out and he will return forthwith to Japan. He has received $33.33 for each lesson of an hour at the acad emy. HOW'S THIS? We offer One Hundred Dollars re ward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J.

The stomach serves aa a churn in which to agitate, Work up and disintegrate our food as it is being digested. If it bo weak, sluggish and foul the result will be torpid, sluggish liver and bad, impure blood. The ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery are just such as best serve to correct and cure all such de rangements. It is made up without a drop of alcohol in its composition; chem ically pure, triple-refined glycerine being used instead of the commonly employed alcohol. Now this glycerine is of itself a valuable medicine, instead of a deleteri ous agent like alcohol, especially in the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia and the various formsof indigestion. Prof. Finlcy Ellingwood, M. D., of Bennett Medical College, Chicago, says of it: "In dyspepsia it serves an excellent pur pose. . It is one of the best manufact ured products of the present time in its action upon enfeebled, disordered stomachs; especially if there is ulceration or catarrhal gastritis (catarrhal inflammation of stomach), it is a most efficient preparation. Glycerine will relieve many cases of pyrosis (heartburn) and excessive gastric acidity. It is useful in chronic intestinal dyspepsia, especially the flatulent variety, and in certain forms of chronic constipation, stimulating the secre tory and excretory functions pf the intestinal glands." When combined, in just the right propor tions, with Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black Cherrybark, Queen's root, Blood root and Mandrake root, or the extracts of these, as in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medicai Discovery, there can be no doubt of its great efficacy in the cure of all stomach, liver and intestinal disorders and derange ments. These several ingredients have the strongest endorsement in all such cases of such eminent medical leaders as Prof. B. Bartholow, M. D., of Jefferson Med ical College, Chicago; Prof. Hobart A. Hare. M. D.. of Medical Department. University of Pa.; Prof. Laurence Johnson.-M. D., Medical Department. University of Sew York: Prof. Edwin M. Hale. M. D.. Hahnemann Medical College, Chicago; Prof. John M. Scudder. M. D. and Prof. John King, M. D.. Authors of the American Dispensatory, and scores of others among the leading medical men of our land. Who can doubt the curative virtues of a medicine the ingredients of which have such a professional endorsement? Constipa tion cured by Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. One or two a dose. Ten Years Without Eating. For ten years before his death on Thursday night at Kingstown a man named Joseph Knight had not eaten any food. - Eleven years ago, while on board the yacht Eliba, at Gosport, he ac cidentally drank some detergent in mistake for porter, with the result that his gullet and other internal or gans were destroyed. He was re moved from the yacht to a man-of-war in Gosport Harbor, where first aid was given him, and afterward was placed in the hands of able sur geons, who not only saved his life, but also enabled him to live for more than ten rears in comparative com fort by means of feeding through a tube in his side leading directly to the stomach. Wheeling about the town in a bath chair, poor Knight was always an object of sympathy trj residents and visitors. It is remarkable that though unable to eat he could al ways enjoy a smoke. He was about forty years of age at his death. PERFECT 9 P 1906 The splendid fit of Schloss Garments is the outcome of twenty -five years' experience making Clothes as good as they can be made.
