rrom North Caro.ina .n attendance at :
the convention. One of them in the ,
group referred to, Mr". W. C. Wilkin
son of Charlotte, N. C, cashier of the
Merchants and Farmers National Bank
of that city, said today: .
"The financial condition of the state
is better than ever before. The farm
ers are in great deal better circum
stances and are growing more pros
perous every year. They find it neces- I
eary to "borrow less and less all the
time. Our manufacturing: Interests are
on a solid basis, and our cotton mills
are especially busy and well managed.
Nearly all of Jthe cotton mills are malt
ing money. Our banks have had a
wonderful growth in the past fJUr
years. In that time their deposits hara
been practically doubled.
"And the thing that pleases us most
Is that whereas formerly, say about
seven or ten years back, about $3,000,
300 more went out of the state each
year than came In, today things are
materially changed and we are cutting ;
Into that balance every year. In the
past four years five or six life Insurance
companies have been organized in the
state by local business men and are do
ing well. Insurance companies of oth
er kinds are also prospering. We are
all proud of thia advance."
One of the most prominent North
Carolinians at the convention la "Joe".

for a place in the new. executive com
mittee. He is president of the Citi

Text of Ship Subsidy Resolution
The full text of the Lowry resolu
tion follows:
"Whereas, the export trade of the
United States is annually on 4he in
crease, and In the years to come will
necessarily increase In a greater ratio
than it has In the past, and
"Whereas, the percentage of foreign
freight carried In our own American
ships has decreased until, compared
with the gross amount of out- exports,
it Is ridiculously ! small; and,
"Whereas, this is to the great dis
advantage of the people of the United
States from the viewpoint of proper
economy in" the conduct of business,
besides greatly d- -icting from our
national prestige ..nd pride; and,
"Whereas, the opening of the Pan
ama canal will be of the greatest Im
portance to the commerce of the' coun
try, and 'will render even more neces
sary than at present the building of
more ships to carry out freight to
Oriental and other markets of the
world ; and,
"Whereas the passage of a ship
sidy measure on the part of this gov
ernment would be a substantial en
couragement to ship-building and Will
be a long stride toward the upbuild
ing of a strong American merchant
marine to carry our freight and mail
direct from all our ports to foreign
ports and,
"Whereas, U is necessary for the
maintenance of our national prestige
along the civilized nations of the word
that we do not allow our flag on mer
chantment to become Well-nigh extinct
upon the seas; and, '
"Whereas, the building of ships thus
encouraged by government subsidy
would mean employment to skilled
labor, as well as to common labor and
would give a healthy impetus to in
ternal trade in the purchase of sup
plies necessary for the building of
these ships; therefore be it
