force. At any rate, the cars were
being operated and by 1:30 the pub

Martin street on Fayettevllle street.
The inotormen and conductors many
of whom are well known Raleigh
people, left the car with their din
ner baskets in hand and stood on
the sidewalks. Later they jeered at
inotormen and conductors who de
cllncd to quit. Practically every man
signed the petition, but when the
rub came only 25 stood by their
agreement to go off duty In ca.io the
demands were not complied with.
No Disorders.
The inotormen and conductors
have not shown the slightest dispo
sition to create disturbance. They
have yelled at the men who signed
the petition with tbem and then de
clined to quit; have shouted, "Don't
ride," and "Keep off the cars," to
passengers, but have done nothing
to cause trouble. Tbey had little

New York, Jan. 10. The exact
wlHh which Woodrow Wilson ex
pressed in that letter to Adrian H.
Joline was that William J. Bryan
might be knocked "once for all into
a cocked hat," and not that he be sot
out of the Democratic party. The
date was 1907 not 1905. The 1-rtter
is given out by Mr. Joline after he
had heard that Governor Wll?on
thought that the full and accurate
text should replace the modified ver
sion that had been printed. This
is the letter:

The North Carolina Builders Ex
change was called lo order in Ms an
nua! sessiou today at noon by Presi
dent J, A. Jones, of Durham, with
Secretary E. 1', Tingley, of Charlotte,
at Ills desk. About thirty members
were present at the opening session,
which was held in the rooms of the.
chamber of commerce. Its a live body
of enthusiastic men who are today
playing no small part in the progress
of the state, industrially and every
other way doing their part in Hi.'
rapid development of our utate. The
members are taking a, deep intrresf
In the sessions and joining in th!
general discussions heartily.
Mr. N. L. Walker, of rtaleigh, 1
spoke briefly of a booklet explaining
the workings of the. -Exchange, and
containing many helpful suggestion"
to tho members.
Mr. U. E. Piper declared his prin
cipal opjeetion was the length of t,
saying that brevity la a 'keynote in
this busy age, that the men who ti.e
constantly kept very busy with their
work did not have the time to it
down and read a big book and what
they all needed was something short
and to the point. "I saw one Short
sentence a few days ago and a mere
postal card that made an everlasting
impression," he declared, "that 'Love
is one damn fool thing after another'
and something short and to the point
ia what we nood." Several short
talks were made by several of tho
members on the subject and It neWf-d
by a vote to leave tho matter of get
ting up a neat little folder to the in
coming president and secretary. Tnc
members pledged themselves to do
all they could to increase tho mem
bership of the Exchange to five hun
drod members, Mr. McClararock, of
Greensboro, making a plea for a
stronger organization, for more zeal
and loyalty among the 'members..
The rules committee consisting of
Messrs. W. B. Barrow, N. Underwood
and Tcscher, notified the body that It
would be ready to make its report -it
the afternoon session. A suggestion
was made that the Exchange adopt
a button or badge of some descrip
tion, on the order of those worn by
the various orders, but it failed to
gather enough support to get into a
form of a motion.
