Gaffney Ledger. .Alore towns die for want of con fidence on the part of business men and lack of public spirit. than any other cause. When a man, in search of a home or a business location goes into a town and finds every thing brim fall of hope and enthus iasm of the prospects of the place, and aU earnestly at work to build it up. , he soon becomes Imbued with the, same spirit, and as a result he drives down stakes and goes to work with the same interest;. When, how ever, he goes to a town where every one expresses doubt and apprehen sion for the future prosperity of the ' place, moping about and indulging In mournful complaints he naturally feels that It Is no place for him, and he at once shakes the dust off his feet while he pulls eut with all pos- Ible, speed for some other place. Consequently try and make a live, enterprising town out of the town In which you live. When you are work lng for or saying a good thing for your town yon are accomplishing all the more for yourself. - ' - - The entire .stock of the Chatta nooga Southern Railway, consisting of , $X,Se,000 ' common sis $750, 00 preferred.

AT STONEWALL JACKSON TRAINING SCHOOL Committee Appointed By North Carolina Press Association Decides That The Memory Of The Lamented Humorist Shall Be Honored In A Practical Manner-State Newspapers To The Cause. The committee appointed at the recent meeting of the North Caro lina Press Association to take in the matter of a State memorial to Bill Nye, met in Salisbury, Wednesday, July 6, in formal session, and after hearing all the propositions before Jt unanimously decided: ' . 1. That the memorlalto the la mented humorist shall tatie the form of a memorial building, to be one of the group and a part of the Stone wall Jackson Training School gener ally known as the State Reformato ry, in Cabarrus county, near Con cord. 2. That the building, furnished and equipped as the trustees of the institution may direct, to the best advantage for the rescue of errant boys, shall cost not less than $5,000 and shall be. known as the "BILL NYE MEMORIAL BUILDING." 3. That the . following newspa pers be designated to receive and ac knowledge subscriptions to the fund for this building, said funds to be transmitted promptly to the treas urer, JOHN M. JULIAN, EDITOR OF THE SALISBURY POST: The Observer, Charlotte, The Evening Post, Salisbury, The Citizen, Asheville, The News and Observer, Raleigh, The News, Greensboro, The Star, Wilmington, The Uplift, Concord. 4. That while the committee be lieves that this memorial should be distinctively North Carolina's trib ute to the lamented man of letters, It deems it wise, In order to ensure the prompt success of the movement. and further to permit the friends of Bill Nye outside the. State an oppor tunity to contribute to this move ment, that contributions from but- side the State should be gratefully received and acknowledged, while not solicited. The committee believes further that it made a wise and happy selec tion in the form of this, memorial; that nothing it might have conceiv ed would have brought greater joy to the heart of the gifted, kindly man whose memory It Is designed to perpetuate, than the great work of making useful citizens of wayward boys, and that were he present with ns in the flesh today it would have the stamp of his approval. - .Furth ermore the .committee . bespeaks the hearty co-operation of the brethren of the press especially, and all good citjzens generally . in this . undertak ing. It Is a" labor of lave one. that has already been ' too long ne glected, to. the shame of North Car olina. Let us put our shoulders to the wheel and show to the world what North Carolina' can do for the man it delights to honor. ' (Signed) James M. Calne, Chairman,, - John M.
