He Is succeeded at the Joffre by Mr, A, F. Brown, an ex- lierieuced hotel man of Greenville. After declaring a five per cent stock dividend, the directors of the First National Bank, at their semi annual meeting, added Ave thousand dollars to the surplus fund, and set aside a considerable sum to the credit of undivided profits. This has prob ably been the most successful year In the history of the bank. Mr. J. H. Lee is president of the bank: Dr. J. E. Ashcraft is vice-president; J. W. Laney, cashier, P. H. Johnson, assis tant cashier; and the following com pose the board of directors: R. A. Morrow, Dr. J. M. Belk. J. H. Lee. Dr. J. E. Ashcraft. W. C. Heath. C. C. Bikes. J. C. Sikes. S. O. Blair, C. C.

Mor row, Jr., who too In the Shrine con vention, are loud In their praises of Portland. Oregan, and the far West. These gentlemen journeyed to Port land, a distance of nearly four thou sand miles, in a special train that was chartered for the trip by Charlotte members of the Order of Ancient. Arabiac, and Mystic Shrine. Among "Dine of the places visited were: Chicago, St. Paul. Minneapolis, Grind Forks. N. I)., Williston. X. l.. Seat- t'e. Portland. San Francisco, Los An geles. Suit Lake City. Colorado priniis. Pike's Peak, and Denver. Mr Messrs. J. C. Sikes and .1. C. M. Vann rutcii was left wtien the train pulled of Monroe nml Mr. F.. T. Cansler of I"1" ' niriianu on us reiurn nip, oui Charlotte to represent the beneficiar ies of her will in the contest of her relatives to break It. Both sides have been semiring the Marvin community for evidence, and the case promises to be one of the hardest fought ever heard in this county. That part of the Stack road be tween the ArmfleUl and Lex Funder burk places, which has been an eye sore to the traveling public for these many years, has been straighted, graded, and put In up-to-date shape. The grading was done by Messrs. E. Y. Rogers, W. C. Green, and others. No one appreciates this piece of road Improvement more than Mr. J. T. Cox, the rural mall carrier, who passes over the road every day ex cept Sundays. The special session of the legis latures, called by Governor Blckett to convene In Raleigh August 10th, will change the time of tax listing from the first of January to either the first of April or the first of May, according to Mr. R. B. Redwine, one of I'nlon cojiiiIv's members in the lower house of t.h general assembly. Mr. Redwine doe not believe that the average man will pay any more taxes than heretofore. The rate, of course, will be changed, but the gross amount of tax revenue, he thinks, will be no larger than In the past year. A huge typhoon fan, with blades five feet long, has been installed in the ceiling of the Strand theater, add ing greatly to the comfort of the patrons. A complete change of air is forced Ihrough the theater every minute, and a temperature of from fifteen to twenty degrees lower than the heat ouiside will be maintained, It Is claimed. The fan cost $700 and is said to be the only one of its kind in this Immediate section, not even excepting Charlotte. The Strand, which la one of the best theaters in the state, has ul.o installed another projecting machine at a cost of $600 In order to give continuous perform anecs. f Dividend checks, amounting to two thousand mi rt five hundred dollars, have been mailed to the stockholders of the Savings, Loan & Trust Com pany, the dividend having been de ll dared by the dlrertors. A neat sum was also added to the undivided profits column. The officers and di rectors of this Institution are: R. B. Redwine, president, S. O. Blair, vice president; II. B. Clark, cashier; X. C. English, Craven Gordon. W. D. Haw tleid. A. M. Sccrest, Dr. J. M. Belk, C. H. Roblmton,' J. D. Hemby, H. B. Clarke, R. A. Morrow and Dr. O. B. Nance, directors. Mr. I. H. Blair Is the manager of the insurance depart ment, and Mr.V. C. Davis, Is assistant cashier. The hank's new home on Main street will probably be com pleted In a few weeks. On removing to 'la location, the name of the ln stitu'.ion will be changed to the Mon toe Bank St Trstit Company. Several hours before the democrat ic convention hat decided upon who be Gov. Cox's running mate. The Journal announced that' Franklin D. Roosevelt had been nominated for vice-president, accfdentally scoring a world "beat." Early Tuesday morn ing we heard that Cox had been nom inated for president. Enquiry at the telegraph office confirmed this report. A short while later, the report was current that Roosevelt had been chos en vice-president. Confident that this was true, due mention of It was made lie managed to rath It In a automo bile ut a point eight miles distant from the city. The Wuxhaw Mining Company, a iuo million dollar corporation, has been chartered by the Secretary of Slate, the Incorporaters being Frank Smith and Raymond Gray, of Balti more, and Horace Neal of Monroe. Messrs. Smith and Gray are the gen tlemen who bought the old Howie Mine at a receiver's sale for fifty thousand dollars. Ou the confirma tion of the sale by the Superior court, the promoters plan to begin opera tions at the mine. At the receiver's sale, several Jackson township citi zens were present hoping to bid In the property for farming purposes tor ftrte?n thousand dollars, or' less. That they were surprised at the fifty thousand dollar bid Is stating the case mildly. Messrs. J. C. Sikes. J. J. Parker and Frank Armfleld were the receivers. S. A. Bracey, the famous mine exploiter, and owner of the property when bankruptcy pro ceedings were Instituted, does not figure in the new corporation. Mr. R. B. Rod win?' opposition lo woman suffrage has attracted nation al notice, and he .Is the recipient of congratulatory letters from many an-tl-!iult'ra;:eties :n this slate and In oth er sections of the country. Even the Iowa Association Opposed to Woman Suffra.-e has heard of his op position to ratification of the Susan Anthony amendment, and the presi dent of the assorlat'on, Mrs. Mabel G Millard, has written him as follows "If every .member r ' every legislature had had the rourau.' and the wisdom to fortify himself, as ou nave done, by the indisputable column nils of his ui:sllluentH. the Federal suffrage amendment would have been rejected Ions ago. Yonr splendid course of ac tion will surely be of great Inlliience In your state, and I want to thank you varmlv for It, In the name of the as jsoi'ia'ion." Mr. Redwine has already announced that he will fight the suf I'rage amendment to the bitter end at the special session of the legislature which has been culled to convene in Raleigh. August 10. Mr. B. II. Grlf tin. I'nion's other representative, will "ork and vote for ratification, it Is be. Ileved. Mr. Redwine does not think lh" efforts of the suffragettes will be successful at the special session. Oiu of (he leading brick manufac turers in this section of the Caro lina. Is Mr. W. N. Ash's, of Van Wyck, South Carolina, who Is known by many I'nion county people. In speaking of the man, and his work. a correspondent of The Lancaster News says: "At Mr. Ashe's brick yard we find a kiln of one million bricks, being finished in burning, This process has been going on for about twelve days In which a thou sand dollars worth of wood, and about six thousand dollars worth of coal has been used. The labor ex pended In the burning has cost about Ave hundred dollars. Transporting the raw brick from the sheds and placing them In the kiln cost about three thousand dollars. Making brick is expensive as many other things, and requires a good deal of capital, but at present prices there Is some profit In the business. Mr. Ashe Is not only a successful brick manufac turer but a public spirited citizen, taking much Interest In the church, schools and welfare of the commu nity. He believes In good roads and does more for their upkeep than any other person In Van Wyck commu- W.UH.UV I'APF.IS IMtUiHTS iMIIJ.s Fl.

Democratic nomination for governor All the old officers were re-elected Saturday. Thus ends one of the as follows: C. H. Howard St. Paul's most vigorous campaigns ever con ducted within the party In the State. Mr. Morrison had the better or ganization. He had the advantages of two of the oldest and biggest pa pers In the state actively supporting him The Charlotte Observer and The Wilmington Star. He had also the support of those opposed to woman suffrage, which Issue had no business in the campaign, but was there with both feet. He had a longer record of service to the party tb.au his op ponent, although not greater In any other way. Max Gardner, of Sehlby, lost the fight. The Enterprise has no apology to make for having supported him. We still believe he Is the better man of the two. We believe though that president; J. s. Keever. Stony Point secretary and treasurer; C. H. Ho ward of St. Pauls. John Mills, of Monroe, and Mrs. G. M. Chapman of Morveu were elected delegates to the National convention at Dallas, Texas, in September. A new feature was added to the Association in the widows and or phans fund, which Is a kind of mutual insurance, proposition open to all paid up members of the State As sociation. While some of the details of this plan are still to be worked out the general plan Is for an initiation of two dollars and an assessment of one dollar and ten cents per member upon the death of a member, the fund raised by such assessment to be paid to the fund and placed under the thing which beat him was that bond more folks voted for Morrison.

With state and national figures on the program and good roads enthu siasm rampant one of the biggest mass meeting ever held in the Siaie is scheduled for Raleigh on August lth. the opening day of Hie special session of ihe legislature. Hon. James M. Cox. democratic nominee for president, has been In vited lo address Ihe gathering. The Monroe Chamber of Commerce this morning wired Governor Cox urging him lo accept the Imitation which was extended through National Com mitteeman McLean and Senator Over man. Other speakers will include Secretary Daniels, Senator Simmons, Judge Priichard and many men nationally prominent In good roads movements. The Chamber of Commerce hopes to nave a delegation of at least fiftv from Union county at the meeting. special cars will be arranged for and probably the Icemorlee band will be taken along. Tho object of the meeting Is to Im press upon members of the legisla ture that sentiment in North Caro lina is in favor of a state system of good highways, and to urge upon them to take Bteps to secure funds to build these highways. Probably the legislature will be asked to sub mit to referendum vote of the people at November elections the proposi tion for a fifty million dollar bond issue. No effort will be made to stampede or coerce the general as sembly, but It is expected that good roads enthusiasms will be so pre valent that the members will neces sarily Imbibe a goodly portion of it.

To the Editor of The Journal: 1 see you take me to task for the intern perate words I used with reference to Mr. Parker, the republican candidate .or Governor, when he asserted In his .-.leeches that under the revaluation act railroad property would not be nis Ml in value. You say Mr. Parker is a man of high character and Integ rity, and you also say he had demo crat authority for his position 'neaniiis Mr. Bailey, and that 1 should havp flirt Jumped on Mr. Bailey. The truth of the matier is that 1 had wavs rega 'ded Mr. Parker as a man of high shuracier until I noticed that in every spe- ch he tried to deceive the people ai to the revaluation act. tood it as long as I could and finally decided that omhody would have to call him down. As to Mr. Bailey, my colleague, Mr. Maxwell, has repeated ly replied to him to the satisfaction of everyone. Mr. Parker knew this. You speak of the high estimate of Mr. Par ker held by the people or Monroe That same high estimate I myself had until now. and my advice to him, if lie wants lo retain the respect of the people of Monroe, Is for him to stop trying to deceive Ihe people as lo the revaluation act and the record of the democratic party.
