Chnr'oite'c Example. i The fact that Charlotte won the democratic state convention hero this week calls attention to the good things in that, progressive city. Chief among them has been its successful building and loan associations. The monthly receipts of the three associa tions exceed fifty thousand dollars One of the companies last week opened its fifty-first series with over lfi,0(M) shares sold. One as sociation has paid out in twenty-five years to shareholders $2,500,000 and made net profits of over $500,000. Its hist year's business was over $1,100, 000. Justice Walker, of the supreme court, recently said that, he attributed much of Charlotte's development to the impetus given to saving and heme building that has ccme out of the building and loan movement. Raleigh has been in its own light by not. building up larger and stronger associations here. The fact that its people lost money twenty years ago by investing in big companies doing business in other states has made it. di.aculL, but there i ; no danger of loss in the prudently managed com panies controlled by home folks who enjoy the full confidence of the peo ple. Raleigh can learn a lesson from Charlotte in building up strong home building and loan associations. They not onlv inculcate habits of sav ing but they arc city builders and home builders as well.

Charlotte will give o great welcome to the democratic state convention. Seme people have gotten the er roneous idea that Charlotte democrats are touched with mugwumpian ways. This is error.
