At (he conclusion of play in the tour nament players and spectators enjoyed un elaborate pienh- supper which was pre pared and served by ladies of the city. During the supper John M. Oglesby wel comed the players and visitors from Sal isbury, declaring it was a pleasure to entertain them in Concord and expressing the opinion that Such gatherings rend to strengthen the bonds of friendship be-, tween the iwo cities. The response was made very appropriately by John Rendle inan. President of the Salisbury club. The tournament was the first of its kind staged id Concord and it was so' .successful that similar events undoubt edly will be staged iu the future.

Mr. Editor: ■ “ ' TWt The following letter Ims been sent to nteritbers of-the MeftiSiws Assoeiittlen : Concord, X. C,;-Aug. 26. 1024. Concord Merchants Ajksririation. Concord, X. Night before last. I had a rip-ronriug dream, and want to tell you about it. We were having'a meeting of the Mer chf’nts Association; aSpI was nfaking a heated speech to the members. Os course. I don't remember, word for word, what I said, but if you- vtoint to know. then 'here goes: "Me. Chairman and members of the I association: Xot so ,»ery long ago, the retail merchants Os Conisird. with per haps one or two eitjejitions. signed an agreement that they pjroidd close their stores and lock their Jtoors at 8 o’clock on Saturday nights;. For unite a few wades thi- wont along all right,, but lately seems that most of the merchants have not boon closing at that liQur. Mr. |Qdd and 1 hadn't noticed it very much, ilmcaiiso we usually lock our door at 8 VckK'k. si-ttle up cash. I get in tlie flivver anil g* borne. However, last Saturday night (while 1 was away j on a little vacation), Mr. Kidd strolletl i up the street and noticed that ait of the stores were oj»en tnwf.it was af.ter 8:00] o’clock and they were .supposed to be closed. I had noticed jlie same thing the previous Saturday night. Those who were open were some of the leading re tail merchants, add some officials in our I Merchants Association. ( , It seems like to mV if we are going to | have a Merelwnrs iu Con cord tlwit is going to be worthwhile, that is going to be even a halfway success, we rtinst jnitl together, and be men enough to stand by our written 1 word. If we sign ' up—as we did sign np—to close nt 8 :00 o'clock, wc ongMM to- be men enough to lock our front door when the clock strikes eight, and then not keep a boy at the front door to unlock it and let everybody in who wants to come iu (like I've' lieani of some of the nserriiauts doing). After Mr. Kidd saw that no one else closed Saturday night. he stayed on a! little while, aud then as no one else, but a few negroes came in to look around, he closed np in disgust ami went home. If we all close, then none of us lose any thing. Even if some few do stay open and haven’t the backbone to close, then the rest of us Can close. Customers like to patrorrizr mpretrsnt* who like to act as though they were hustlers, wide-awake businessmen, and ndt; as though they wetc one-horse merchants in a one-home town. We know ours is not a out-horse IgW' ll l we know we have a wideawake, progressive town, and we want to act like merchants iu a wideawake, progres -sive town and city. How tan wc cxjiect our clerks to have imtch respect for ns. if we are not men enough to live up-to our signed agree ment. For goodness' sake, let’s “quit ourselves like men,’’ and not act like some merchant out r at- the; cross-roads, fret's lock our doors ut .8- o’eltick every IMm m D'llfl mJf s f AT\ a « ® i.fgjg i t ijiyi i .-zi f |i v* | /VPvPi i ' Rfrvi I t ITP A CnTriiyir { v SB I Come ttritfie Bis- StorVFSSdav and Saturdnv Warch viiir Rh> WhS,, and Another thing—let’s get in behind our Merchants Association and lend it our support and make if a big instrument in pushing Concord ahead." .-"Now, the above is wfeat X dreamed J. said in my speech." and I want to-ask you to mimeograph this letter, and sprit copies of It to the members of the asso ciation; and-See if WCcttu’t cut out this "cfciW’H • play.” 'Til do it if "George Witt,” or ‘T wont do it it George doesn’t" is a mighty poor attitude for a real bus inctw man to take and yet that to'the very attitude that we are taking' in this matter. Let’s cut it out and get togeth er. nil behind "you'll/Like Ooocord," and ' sell Concord' to the outside world, as a town of real, live, wideawake; progres sive business men who poll together.
