Makes Strong Timely Speech and Handles Subject Very Forcibly INTRODUCED BY W. L LONG Solicitor John H. Kerr, of Wanvnton, addressed the largest attendance of members at 8 Board of Trade Meeting for some months on last Monday night. In a short but graceful introduc tory speech, Mr. V. L. Ix.nj presented the orator of the evening-Mr. Kerr did full justice t( : Mr. Long's tribute to his powers ' of oratory. He handled his sub ject. "The Opportunities of th( Young Man of the South" ir ! a forcible and original manner. The solicitor impressed anc ! held his audience from the start. He began with a eulogy of the ; South and its history and dwelt upon the reverence for the tradi - tionsof our forefathers which should be cherished bv everyone, Mr. Kerr stated that the three iiialities necessary to leader shi) of men were honesty in al! things, to all people, including one's own self, industry, lovable ness. The whole tenor of his , sl,eeoh was a plea for the lifting i f tlp hum(lrum afrairs of truistic and christian level. Mr. Kerr spoke admiringly of the rapid strides in industrial progress made in this "city of a few days" and stated that this wonderful progress made in Roa noke Rapids was symbolic of the progress being made along indus trial, social and economical lines all over th(ith.
