THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, MARCH 13, 1908. 0 Campaign Will Be Historic Mr. Clarkson Pleased Over The Prospects oj Anti-Saloon League's Fight For Prohibition In The State. Mr. Heriot Clarkson, of Charlotte, president of the North Carolina Anti Saloon League, was in Raleigh yester day, says the News and Observer ot today, an - said he had been in con ference during the day with Mr. John A. Oates, chairman of the executive committee. He was exceedingly pleased with the splendid organiza-j lion being eaected all over xsonn Carolina. Arrangements have been made, said Mr. Clarkson, to have the very best speakers of the state can vass every part and parcel of the state. No stone will be left unturn ed on the part of those in charge ot the organization to make the canvass the most historic in the state. Continuing. Mr. Clarkson said: "The outlook is most encouraging from every point. The fact that the opposition desire to make a contest has been beneficial in the extreme to the anti-salcon friends. It has made them more active and more de termined to get out a larger vote. 'Another advantage is the people of North Carolina resent outside in terference and it is rumored that un lawful funds are to be sent to this state for purposes that are not righteous. The people of North Car olina have died on the battlefield for what they believed to be right, and neither force nor money can deter them from their course or make them bend their knee. "I have specially noticed campaigns in past years and I have never known such crowds to attend any meeting as they do the anti-saloon epeakings. Even the white suprem acy campaign in North Carolina die not draw the crowd that attends an anti-saloon speaking. The very that this great moral issue is being agitated in North Carolina aids and uplifts the people to a higher stand ard of civic righteousness, and is a splendid aid to temperance and teaches people the wrongs of the drink evil. I believe that every man of prominence that gets in the way of this great moral tide will be in jured. The situation is encouraging in the extreme. "I would especially desire to call to the attention of each locality the importance of having an anti-saloon club in each township. This is be ing done all through the state. By this method by May 26th, there can be such an organization in North Carolina that no other organization can stand up against it. My whole heart is wrapped up in this great fight for humanity. Prohibition will be a blessing and benediction to our beloved state." THE WEATHER. 4 iIII'I',Iv lIIII'v Forecast for Charlotte and vicinity: Partly cloudy tonight and Saturday. Somewhat warmer tonight. Bank Talks State Forecasts. For North Carolna: Fair tonight and Saturday, warmer tonight. Colder in northwest portion Saturday. Fresh southwest shifting to west winds.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF FIRE CHIEF ENDORSED School Commissioners Will Urge Fin ance Committee of Aldermen to Al low an Appropriation for the Pur pose of Better Insuring School Build ings Against Fire. The school board met last night to consider the recommendations of Fire Chief Orr in regard to certain changes in the school buildings, which are necessary to make them absolutely aafe in case of fire. Upon motion of Professor Baird. the committee on buildings and grounds was instructed to go before the finance committee of the board of aldermen, which meets to night, and to urge the immediate neces sity of doing tae work. The recommendations of Chief Orr :ire as follows: "That all outside doors be hung so .13 to open outward, Avhich is not the :ase at present; and that all inside ind connecting doors be hung so as to swing boih ways. I also advise that all furnaces, boilers and steam pipes leading thejefrom be covered with asbestos, and that all wood work be carefully protected from the same; and that any wooden Avails of fur iace rooms be lined with asbestos in order to render the same as nearly fireproof as possible. On motion of Captain Smith, Super intendent Alexander Graham was in structed to see that all doors of build ings were unlocked before school con vened each morning. The board was very earnest in Its discussions cf these matters, which of the children. - . . i r . i . font neriani iu ine siueiy and it was very evident mat. uie wui. will be done at the very earliest possi ble moment. Those present at the meeting were Messrs. Belk, Baird, T. T. Smith, D. B. Smith, Neal, Sexton, Davis and Little neld. In the absence of Mayor Franklin, who was at the meeting of the board of aldermen, Mr. D. B. Smith acted as chairman, and Mr. B. S. Davis took the place of the secretary, Mr. Wearn, who also was at the aldermen meeting. RECEIVER FOR COTTON MILL C4NA CORPORATION INSURE ITS OFFICERS? Mr. H. M. Victor Brings a Friendly Suit Against the Hoskins and Chad wick Mills, the Traveler's Life In surance Company and Messrs. E. A. Smith and J. P. Wilson. A friendly suit has been started by Mr. H. M. Victor against the Chad wick and Hoskins Mills, the Travelers' Life Insurance Company, and Messrs. E. A. Smith and J. P. Wilson, to test the question of whether a corporation has the right to use any of its profits or surplus to insure the lives of its officers. The facts in the case are that sever al years ago, these mills insured the lives of Messrs. Wilson and Smith, both bemg officers of the company, and later Mr. Wilson left the city and the service of the company. The ques tion arises whether the policies are valid, especially as regard Mr. Wil son's. This matter has never been decided by the courts, and the mills were ad vised to have the matter adjudicated. Mr. Victor being a stockholder in the company then brought suit in behalf) of the individual stockholders, to set tle the disputed question as to the validity of the policies issued by the Travelers' Insurance Company, the company being made a party to the suit. The case will be argued during this term of court in chambers, before Judge Moore, and an appeal will be tak en, no matter which way the case is decided in order that the supreme court may hand down an opinion. Mr. Victor is represented by Messrs. F.. M. Redd and F. M. Simmons; the Chadwick and Hoskins Mills by Messrs Tillett & Gutlierie; the insurance com pany's interests by Messrs. Cable & Cable, of Richmond; Messrs. Smith and Wilson by Mr. Hamilton C. Jones. The Pomona Manufacturing Company of Greensboro Embarrassed. Application was made here today to Judge Fred Mcore for a receiver for the Pomona Manufacturing Company, of Greensboro. The receivership was asked by the Woonsccket Machine and Press AVorks, to which the Pomona Company is indebted in the sum cf S90.000. " Judge W. P. Bynum and Solicitor A. L. Brooks were here today repre senting the Poncma Company, and Messrs Tillett and Guthrie appeared for the plaintiffs in the action. The attorneys were in conference this ai'temccn trying to agree on a receiver, and if the received is agreed upon by both sides, Judge Moore will make the appointment at once, but unless this agreement is made, there will be a contest. The plaintiff in the action will possi bly contest the validity of certain first mortgage bonds, which were sold and turned over to the City National Bank, of Greensboro, a few hours before the company went into liquidation.
