The officials of the Greater Charlotte Club are enthusiastic over the show and are confident that made an annual affair, it will prove a great advertisement for the city. All of the railroads are giving reduced rates for the show and this, with the assurance that there will be large crowds here from out of the city, has led the merchants of the city, wholesale and retail, to plan big things for the week. The big department stores will put on special sale and will display new spring goods many of them, while the wholesalers are getting in touch with their out-of-town custom ers, many of them agreeing to pay the fare of these customers to the city during the show.

Brittain," of Asheboro, was here today. '. .-,'. . ' ; ,; Celebration of of High Point's Organization At each recurring anniversary of the Manufacturers Club which is celebrated by a banquet, there is greater reason for pride in the organization. From year to year the evidence of the good, both directly and indirectly, accom plished for the town is manifest on every hand. It has not been so much the dol.ars and cents di rectly raised through the organ ization that has accomplished so much, but the fact that there has been such an organization em bucd w ith a spirit of progress and ever ready to give its influence to development has been of in calculable value to the commun ity. Some one tisked recently what the Manufacturers Club was doing for the town and the an swer was "what would the town have been without it?" Through its influence has been due largely the excellent public spirit that the business man and stranger finds here and a ,-pecilic organiza tion which voluntarily ami at its own expense paves the way. It is not necessary for 11- to say that the greater fart of its member ship has a just pride in it and the time is not far distant that in-, stead of making a good will offer ing of $3,000 to this the best town in the state we shall make it $10,000. It is among the best money we have ever spent here. The Annual Banquet of .this organization was held last night at the Ehvood hotel from 8.30 to 12.30 o'clock nd it is the con sensus opinii.n 'that it was in many respects the best ever held. The spirit was tine, the list of in vited guests included some of tlie most distinguished speakers in the state, and the results of such a meeting not only furnished pleasure, to those vlufcttendc.d' but will redound to the good of the community for a long time to come. The guests began to assemble at 8.15 and for nearly an hour there was a reception in the par lors of the Elwood. There were about i'30 people present includ-ed-the guests. Manager Lewis Vobdson who had prepared so elaborately and well announced at 9 o'clock that he was ready and under the strains of the splendid music furnished by Hood's Orchestra the guests filed into flic dining room. J. J. Farriss. president of the club, was toastniaster, and Rev. Dr. W- C. Tyree invoked the di vine blessing. The dining room presented a most beautiful scene with its decorations and the whole setting of the affair was cause for congratulation, The following menu was serv ed continuing from 9 to 11. Oyster Cocktail Ox Tail a la Anglaise l'in Money Pickles Celery Hearts Queen Olives Braised Wild Duck, Giblet Sauce Candied Yams Asparairus Tips Angelica Punch Roast Young Turkey Celery Dressing , Cranberry Sauce Cream White Potatoes French Peas Cream Fritters Custard Sauce Lettuce and Tomato Salad Hot Mince Pie Block Ice Cream Assorted Cake Mixed Nuts and Raisins - American Cream Cheese Saltine Wafers White Rock Demi-Tasse At it o'clock the speaking was announced by the toastmaster, who, introduced Gov. Kitchin as the first speaker, as one who .had always responded to every call of the people of High Point and one '.'':''; .:'.:;' :'::i:';-V'-.., ,:'y.j.!. :.'" v.. ,' ',' the Anniversary Great Business Annual Banquet whom our people loved to honor, Governor Kitchin 'did not an nounce any subject but spoke elo J qucntly for half hour on "Man hood." It was a splendid effort and the audience heard him gladly and appreciatively. Hi words about High Point, her rec ord and the right conception of her business men in building along moral lines was indeed splendid tribute to a people who in their efforts along industrial lines have maintained a high standard of civic virtue. The speech was well received by all The Governor did not come for a set speech, but 'his effort could not have been more appropriate. The second speaker was Hon E. J. Justice, ex-Speaker of the House, a man who when occa sion demands it makes a magni hcicnt antagonist. A man of Strong convictions and with th courage of them at all times. The tonstmastcr in announcing him sniil that the first time he ever saw him when a hoy he had bull by the horns in a playful mood and he believed he "had 11.111 me linn iy me Horns ever s'llfli." After a lew pleasantries alout High Point, Piedmont county and the "modesty" of our people about things in general here. Mr. Justice drew in vivid contrast honestly acquired wealth and that which is secured dishonest ly. He classed the man of preda tory wealth along with the anar clnst which was obviously just. In closing Mr. Justice paid High .Point, a high compli nient in the statement that our industries had been built up, our wealth acquired bv honest methods. It was alto geuier a dciigtitiui etiort ami one winch was appreciated. The next speaker was lion. Zeb. Walser, of Lexington, who the toastmas ter said had signified a desire to he buried in a Piedmont County colli n and for this reason the county matter bad been tempor arily postponed in order to give him a chance to repent. Mr Walser is full of fun and on this occasion made some of his hap piest hits, a little "penetrating' with some of his darts but always so that they might fall to the ground witnout doing serious damage. It was a well timed ef fort and one which fitted in the exercises with a precision that showed the master speaker. Hon. Whitehead Klutz, of Sal isbury, one of the most eloquent speakers of the state followed. For twenty minutes he carried the pride and patriotism of the guests to a high pitch as he pic tured so beautifully the deeds of North Carolinians, the splendid history wc had made in every era and then holding up to a full view what wc might expect of our people in the future. Wc have never listened to a better speech and a more beautiful tri bute. Mr. Klutz held the close attention of his hearers thorugh out his speech and at the close there was long applaues. ; Col. W. P. Wood, State Audi tor, and a citizen of Randolph, made some happy remarks, be ginning with the assertion that High Point was a great town and had reason to be because a large part of her population was made up of Randolph people, "li there had been no Randolph there would have been no High Point." Col. Wood's remarks were apt and made a fitting climax to the speeches of the guests. The ex ercises were closed with a brief speech from Mayor Fred N. Tate, who likes to talk about High Point. He emphasized the welcome to the guests of the oc casion and reviewed the splendid work of the Manufacturers Club and wound up in a very happy turn in serving notice on our neighbors to prepare for , Pied mont county. He also emphasiz ed the valuable work of those who gave their time to the up building of the city. Telegrams of regrets were re ceived froni lion. Oscar Under wood who spoke in Philadelphia ; Hon. Josephus Daniels, who had a previous engagement with the Durham Chamber of Commerce ; ex-Governor Aycock, Senator Simmons, and Mr. M. Y. Rich ards. The occasion was an eventful one in the history of the club and the town MISTAKEN IDENTITY Our friend R. F. Dalton, who now wears a beard, has been troubled quite a good deal lately by being taken for Andrew Car negie, lie will have to get a charity fund together or get a shave !

An ordinance covering the matter will be submitted, and doubtless passed, at the next meeting of the Council. Gov. kili-hiii returned to Ral eigh ..n the ) o clock tram tins morning. Clarence II. Mackey and party of New York, arrived yesterday and went to Mr. Mackey "s lodge four-miles east of High 1'oint. CHRISTIANIZE THEM BY SOME OTHER METHOD In a moving picture play house in Raleigh two weeks ago, a pic ture was on display, pointing out the moral as well as the danger md futility of sending white girls as missioanries among the pagan Chinese and Japanese. It recalls to my mind very vividl the sad fate of Elsie Siegle. who left her home to do missionary work among the Chinese, in the degraded Chinese (ttarters in N'ew York city only a short while ago, and who was so brut ally assaulted and afterwards murdered making good his escape. W hile tnc awtui object lesson has had the tendency to check the custom of sending young white girls on these. dan- gcrous missions, there is yet too much of it. One Caucasian girl is worth a regiment of Mongolians. And the American people have since decided to Christianize these pagans some other way. o TOO SHORT. Mr. Editor: Your short editorial dealing with the extortionate coal rates charged our people was timely and went to the point, but it was too short. The people here are bottled up on coal rates.
