Entertained at the Elks' Club.
Large Number of Citiseni Present,
Speeches by Mr. Lee and Mr. Coler.
It-Is Believed Thai Internrban WO
Soon Be Extended From Charlottej
to Salisbury. " -
Yesterday afternoon Concord waa
host to the officials of the Southern.
Power Company and the North Car
olina Public Service Company, two
mighty forces in the development of
Piedmont North Carolina The guesto
arrived from Salisbury, where they
were tendered a big barbecue yester
day, and reached here about 6 o'clock
in the evening. In the party were:
Messrs. W. S. Lei, C. I. Berkholder,
BirdS. Coler, R. H. Hole, T. J. Je
rome, T. J. Vanderford and Mayor
Fred N. Tate and Abraham Cook, of
Hieli Point. A committee of citizens.
composed of Messrs. Morrison Cald
well, G. L. Patterson, K. t . White
and T. D. Maness wnt to Salisbury
jresterday to meet the officials and ex
tend to them an invitation to coma
to Concord.
In the afternoon Mayor Wagoner
did some live hustling and succeeded: -in
notifying a number of eitizens that
in informal meeting would be held
it the Elks' Home at 6 o'clock for
the purpose of meeting the officials - -of
the two companies and talking over
the interurbansituation.
The club rooms were crowded with
aitiaens. The meeting was delight- .
fully informal. The Southern Power
and Public Service officials met tho
citizens and the citizens met the offi-
.The "welcome to our city'' was in-.
deed a cordial one Bnd was recippo-
eated on the part of the officials in as
equally cordial manner. '
After a number or citizens naa
gathered the party was invited into,
the lodge room of the club. Mayor
Wagoner presided and, after welcom
ing the officials here in a most fitting
manner, he called upon Senator L. T. -Hartsell.
Senator Hartsell extended
a greeting that would have made even. '
a wayfarer feel at home to say noth
ing of a gathering of captains of ia
dustry who are here for the purpose,
of helping the town. Mayor Wagon
er then called upon Hon. Bird. 8
Coler, of New York, president of then
North Carolina Public bervice, Com
pany. ' 'v rr
Mr., Coler responded in a clear cut.
business-like speech. He spoke of tb
great development that was now un
derway in this section and said that. ,
to his mind it would not be possible '
except for the Southern Power Com
pany,; Mr. Coler also took occasiom-
to say at this point that he or bis.
company were not ; interested in a,
financial way in the Southern rower
Company. He urged the people to
give the great company their co-operation
and said that the internrban
lines would be the greatest internr
ban freight line in the United States. .
Mr. Coler was -profuse in his prais
of the South and its possibilities.
Possibly the most striking point was
made when be said: "I think toe-
South is beginning : to be known as. -the
American part of , the . United
States. The manufacturers and other
industries of the North are forced to
depend upon foreign labor. ' A great
opportunity awaits us to get together
and show the manufacturers, farmers,
and business men of the North that
this is the best section. I believe that r
the faith and traditions of our fath
ers are better: maintained in .. our -
Southland."
Mr. Coler was followed by Mrs. W ;
S. Lee, the great genius of the South
ern- Power .Company,-.':-. This was tho -
i Cents.
first time the citizens of Concord - ,
have had the opportunity of hearing
Mr, Lee, who with his associates, has
wrought such marvelous advancement
in the industrial life of this section
causing practically, two wheels to turn
where only one turned before. From
his words' and manner it was appar
ent to everyone that Mr. Lee has un
bounded confidence in the possibili
ties of Piedmont North Carolina and
stands with all bis remarkable abili
ties and ready- and anxious to aid
in the development of those possibil- "
lties.'--;Y" v-'f - -i'"-' -'.' A'r'J
