There will be a wrestling match at Statesville thea tre Thursday night, between Mr. John Guy, jr., of Statesville, and Mr. John Elliott, of Charlotte, claimant to the welter weight championship of the South. Mr. Earl. Moser, who will be in charge of the event, promices interest ing preliminaries to the match,' which he says will be strictly high class. Messrs. Guy and Elliott wrestled in Charlotte a lew nights ago and Guy came .out victorious. ii In the case of Sam Carpenter, the white man arrested in Danville and brought back to Iredell to face charges of disposing of mortgaged property, the warrants were withdrawn and Car penter was released, on the payment of the costs, to give him a chance to pay off the mortgage.

American Auto v trade Abioad Southern Wareroom: 5 W. Trade Street After June 1st, Stieff Building 219 South Tryon SC, Charlotte, N. C. 3C TBHIIT COLLEGE Trinity College, Durham, N. C. Feb. 25. The University of Virginia has just sent a notice to Manager J. A. Rand, of the Trinity basketball team announcing that they have cancelled their trip down south, and that they will, on that account, be unable to I lay with Trinity the two games that v,ere scheduled for March 1 and 2 on the home floor. This action by the Virginia college, shatters the hopes cf basketball fans who have been awaiting the coming of the strong fam from that institution, and lovers cf the game are surprised N that they ill see no more games on the home floor this season. The cancellation of the two games with Virginia means that Trinity will go through the 1912 season without losing a single. game en the home floor,- a record which is hard to beat. Of the seven games play ed thus far, six have been on the home f.oor, while the other game was played last Saturday night In Raleigh with the team from A. & M. College. The came in Raleigh was played in the big tew auditorium, and resulted in an ovenvhelmning victory for the Farm ers, the score being 26 to 13. The Meth ffiists attribute their defeat to the fact that Little Jinnie Brinn, one of the best players on the team, was nek and unable to be in the game, io to the fact that they had to play an the canvassed-covered floor in the auditorium. The goal posts, too, were o shackly and unstable -that accurate E.;al-throwing was almost impossible for one not accustomed to such play ins:. On account of the cutting out of so. many games. Manager Band has ar ranged two games with the Charlotte Y. M. C. A. team to be played in Char lotte. It will be remembered -that Trinity played four games with the Charlotte team last year.two being on the home floor, both of which the iocals wen; and two being in Char lotte, which the Y. M. C.'A. boys won. At that time, however, Charlotte had on its team. Frank Crowell, perhaps the best forward in the state. He is now a student in Trinity College, and one of the very best players on the :cam. Much of the credit for the excel lent record made by Trinity so far is ittributed to him, for he has saved the 2ay more than once. The last of the fraternity initiations as held Friday night in the Wood man hall by the Alpha Phi Chapter of ite Kappa Alpha fraternity. With the initiations of the fraternity the list for the year is ended, and no more ill the goat be allowed to roam at will among the students until next Feb ary. There were a number of local and visiting members of the Kappa Alpha order present to witness the ceremonies of initiation, many of them being from A. & M. College, at Raleigh. Those inducted into the order were: J. A. Rand, Raleigh; T. H. Anderson, Statesville; Allan R. Anderson, States ville; B. F. Few, jr., Greer, S. C, "and D. C. Lewis, Bessemer, Ala.. The editors of the 'Chanticleer.'"fhe annual which will make its first appear ance at Trinity this year, announce that all of the scores of photographs which will aDDear in the miblication have been sent in to the engravers, the last batch being sent last weeK. From this time on the editors will turn their attention to the accumulation and arrangement of the literary mate rial that will be used. The dook win be brought out by The Everett-Waddey Corrmanv. of Richmond. Va.. and it Is expected that copies will be ready for distribution by May 1. Claude Bennett, of Mississippi, is Editor-in-chief, and A. S. Brower, of Concord, is business manager. On account of . the resignation of J. H. Rose, as assistant business man ager of the Chronicle.

Big Embioideiy Meiger Reported (From Journal of Commerce.) According to a private dispatch from Switzerland a movement isre ported to be on foot to combine into a holding company the Interests of about a half dozen large embroid ery" houses that have extensive con nections abroad and In this country. When the merger i3 perfected, it is said, it will 'represent a capital of about $15,000,000. ' Details could not be obtained yes terday in this market relative to this reported combine. It Is understood that the work of amalgamation is being done on the otlfer side. The report in general, however, was con firmed, at the offices of a leading embroidery house that would be well informed on matters of this nature. The private dispatch from Switz erland, mentioning the report of the merger, gives the names of the fol lowing embroidery houses that will be absorbed: Einstein, Wolf & Co., including the Kursheedt Manufacture ing Company; Hoffmann Huber & Co., Klauber Bros & Co., Rappoit & Co., Neuburger & Co., and Reichen bach & Co. Experts, says the dis patch, have been at work appraising the value of the above firms. In J addition the dispatch states that the Sweizersche Bank Verein of Bal, Switzerland, is expected, to float the bonds of the new company. It is also stated that a well known Amer ican banking house with connections abroad has been approached to take over a portion of thep roposed bond issue. Should the merger be consummated it will represent the largest aggrega tion of capital in the embroidery or in the lace trade. The only combina tion that exists at present is that of the Loeb & Schoenfeld Co., proper ties which have a capitalization of ?10,000,000a The opinion ' of several prominent embroidery Importers Is that such a merger as reported would be a great benefit to the trade. Not only do they say would there be the saving that usually results from a combination of interests, which would be shared by the houses absorbed, but the pace that such a combination wbuld set, they claim, would have a healthy ef fect upon the trade at large. It would tend, they say, to eliminate fluctua tions In prices and factors that help to upset the market. When a representative of a large importing house not involved propos ed merger was asked how the re ported combination would affect his fim he said: "We would rather com pete with a large house, as large as we are, or larger, than with any of the small firms who sometimes, and very often, demoralize trade. The large houses know how to calculate. Their prices, fixed on a knowledge of cost, never upset us. It is what the small manufacturer, Inefficient and uninformed, does that hurts.!

Fifth St. Phone 765 An incident of the invasion of for eign trade centers by the . American makers of motor cars is the first campaign of full page advertising in the history of newspaperdom in South America, Australasia, South Africa and a number of other countries.. In laying out the campaign, the Studebaker advertising staff experi enced an unexpected obstacle. Practically none of the papers se lected for use, had on file at any oi the big advertising agencies a rate for page copy. Advertising on this scale was unknown to them. Even on specific requests .'-.r such a rate, the publishers invariably misunderstood and insisted on quoting rates on smaller quantities of space. One or the papers refused the advertisement, because it was too large. Another insisted on payment in advance, in order to secure money to pay com positors to set it. It was finally nec essary to cable a foreign advertising expert who came all the "way , from London to undertake the work of placing the business. The page rate, when established, was found to range from $10 to $500. .' .. " The page appeared almost simul taneously in about 175 cities .z. and made a tremendous sensation judged by the great increase in . inquiries from the cities in which it was pub lished. An interesting feature was the preparation of the copy. The oroginal English was translated into German, French, Italian and - four .varieties of Spanish. The final correction was made by the modern language ex perts of Columbia University. It was also found that the American copy needed to be quite- thoroughly- re vised for use In Great Britain and the colonies, where an entirely, dif ferent set of words is used in tech nical description. An almost tragic incident .of the campaign was the fact that several papers to which the order for the full page was sentnotably three in Mexico expired While these . or ders were in transit, succumbing to political unheaval and similar causes.
