Field Of Usefulness.
A meeting of the Executive Com

day, last, February 2 5 tb, upon the
call of 'Mr. .A. M. Scales, president.
Messrs. Scales, Boyles, Betts, Van
Lindley, Kiser and Superintendent
Putnam "were present. V
Consideration was first eiven in
the matter of authorizing the Presi
dent and superintendent to make an
offer of $1,500 per year to Rev. W.
A. Newell, of Tryon. N. C, to act as
financial agent of the society. Mo
tion was made by Mr. Boyles and
seconded by Mr. Van Lindley that
this be done and it was unanimous
ly passed. The president and super
intendent were authorized to secure
another man in case Mr. Newell does
not accept and to pay him the
amount above stated if necessary.
The rental of the building located
at 519 Lithia street, as recommend
ed by the special committee ap
pointed to consider this matter.
Messrs. Scales, Brewer and Putt
man, was considered and the same
was approved.
The employment of Miss Stack as
office secretary at a salary of $55
per month was considered and upon
motion of Mr. Boyles and seconded
by Mr. Kiser was unanimously pass
ed and approved.
The matter of the creation of a
committee to be known as the or
ganization committee was considered
and approved and the president was
authorized to appoint a chairman
and two other members.
The duties of the Organization
committee as considered by the ex
ecutive committee are to be as roi-
lows : "Said committee to supervise
the work of organization of a ladies
auxiliary in Greensboro and advisory
committees in various parts of the
state, said advisory committees to
consist of one lawyer, one doctor,
these to aid the society in their re
spective professions, and one or more
representatives of the various de
nominations in the different localities."".-..
It was decided that the work of
the ladies' auxiliary is to be as fol
lows: "The ladies' auxiliary will
supervise the Receiving Home of the
North Carolina Children's Home So
ciety, subject to the control of the
Board of Directors and the direction
of the superintendent." Said auxil
iary is to take the place of the pres
ent Receiving Home committee,
which uDon organization of the
ladies' auxiliary will cease to exist.
After consultation immediately
following the adjournment of the
meeting of the Executive Commit
tee it was decided that the Organ
ization committee is to consist of the
following: Mr. Claude Kiser, chair
man; Mr. A. M. Scales and Superin
tendent Putnam, v
THINKS IT WRONG.
SAM SMALJL TALKS.
Always Some Fellow To Take "The I Sees A Black Cloud Rising Over
Other Side." longer roviuea:
Colonel Sam Small who puts
things in a nut shell when he talks,
has surveyed the field and concludes
since Underwood and others have
suggested enfranchising negroes in
Washington, in order to hold the
balance of power on the matter of
granting saloon license, that it will
not be long until the Southern lead
ers will return to the South and in
sist on universal suffrage down this
way in order to again put the saloon
in the saddle.
Of course Sam fails to understand
that in all honesty and under the
law the negro should enjoy the bal
lot. If the white man took it away
from him it does not follow that it
right. However the Southern
It seemed for awhile that every
body was agreed upon the interna
tional proposition that it was busi
ness to "Do your Christmas shop
ping early." All the newspapers
carried the slogan; the men who
looked upon the humane side caught
the light, and long and tedious were
the stories we read telling us that if
we were opposed to cruelty to ani
mals we should also be opposed to
cruelty to shop girls. We should do
our Christmas shopping early not
let the overworked clerks be impos
ed upon by rushing them to death at
the last moment. All this looked
good. It reasoned well. It didn't
seem as though any answer could
be made to such a humane proposi
tion, but we note that one writer in
the New York Sun objects. Among
other things he wants to know :
"What would the 'efficiency ex
pert' do to the shop girls if we all
got through our shopping three days
before Christmas?
"Wouldn't he either reduce the
staff in proportion to the falling off
in shoppers or run a huge 'Just Be
fore Christmas Sale' to get us all
coming again?
"The retailers are fast killing the
beauty of Christmas and are reduc
ing it to a commercial scheme to sell
us their wares, and while I have no
objection to doing my Christmas
shopping early I do resent the im
putation that I do it to save the
shop girls.
"If we all did our shopping very
gradually for several months before
Christmas hundreds of needy,
worthy clerks would be out of em
ployment." :
So there you have it. This man
thinks if we all rushed pell mell
days before Christmas there would
be no extra demand for sales people
and the merchant would really
forget there was a Christmas on.
Mavbe he is rieht. Mavbe. after
all, it takes the Christmas spirit to
buy Christmas goods. It is hard fo
get a man to buy his coal in the
summer and if he does he can't en
thuse. The man who would go down
town in earlv Novemhfr tn huv
Christmas goods would buy only half
what he would buy if he went out
purposely, in Christmas times, to do
Christmas shopping. Always two
sides to a piece of bread and some
times both sides carry butter.

negro would not vote for the bar
rooms. At least not in North Caro
lina. He has found that prohibition
is the salvation of his race, and
therpf nre Sambo f or the most part
would vote always to keep the sa
loon door closed.
Rut as Sam Small is always inter
esting, we quote what he had to say
and which is as ioiiows:
"Hnw soon. now. mav we look
for these Southern leaders of the
National Capital liquor negrophiles

able and debauched negro elector
ate? "It will be intensely Interesting
to hear Senators James, Lee, Under
wood and Hardwick back home ex
plaining to their people why it was
necessary to enfranchise the negro
voters of the District of Columbia in
order to Drotect 300 Capital City
saloons from the fatal grip of con
gressional prohibition."
All of which sounds good; all of
which is impossible and improbable:
all of which however, gives Sam a
chance to hit Old John one and show
that he has lost none of his vigor at
a type writing machine.

We had hoped the detective busi

We never believed in seining or
