ANDREWS EXTERTAIX AT DINNER. 31 r. and Mrs. O. C. Andrew n- lng 12,000,000 out for meat and other necessaries of life that can ne produced here as well as anywnere, is folly of the highest tyne but it is being done, he said, right In his own county of Mecklenburg. The same conditions exist in Gaston. Here is a neld for some greatly needed work Mr. Carraway spoke of the value of publicity and urged the nrosnect ive chamber of commerce to make the very best use of It at all times. In this connection he referred to Gastonia s need of a modern hotel. The hotel conditions of the town do it more harm every day than any other one thing. He recommended that the first official act of the new board be the appointment of a com mittee to take under consideration ways and means for rectifying promptly this sore spot. He charac terized this movement for the or ganizatlon of a commercial body as tne greatest forward step the town has ever made. At the conclusion. Mr. Carraway made some very valu- aoie suggestions as to the plan of organization, etc. Following these addresses a mo tion prevailed that a permanent or ganizatlon be effected by the e:ec tlon of a president, two vice-presi dents and a board of twelve direct ors, the latter to be composed of the chairmen of twelve standing committees, xsomlnationa for pres ident were called for and Mr. J. Lee Robinson, Col. T. L. Craig, Mr. J. W, ximberlake and Mr. J. H. Separk wre uommaiea. voi. uraig was elected on the first ballot. For vice- president Col. C. B. Armstrong, sir. J. Lee Robinson, Mr. J. H. Separk and Mr. R. B. Babington were nom inated. Mr. Robinson was elected first vice-president and Col. Arm strong second vice-president. It was moved and carried that the president appoint members of twelve sttandlng committees and that eacn committee, at the next meeting, nom inate one of its number for chair man, he to be a member of the board of directors. These commit tee chairmen and directors will then be elected by' the whole body. A rising vote of thanks was ten dered the volunteer committee, com posed of Messrs. J. L. Beal, G. K. Marvin. J. M. Holland, J. H. Separk and F. L. Smyre, who secured the signatures of the business men to the agreement to organize the cnam ber of commerce. It was moved and carried that the president and two vice-presidents. together with Mr. S. J. Durham and Mr. J. H. Separk be constituted a committee on constitution and by laws to make their report at the next meeting of the chamber. A motion prevailed that the body be incorpor ated under the laws of the State and a charter will be applied for at once. The last item of business to be transacted waa the selection of a name. Of this there was some dif ference of opinion. Two names were put before the house, namely the Gaatonla Board of Trade ahd the Gastonia Chamber of Commerce. The latter was selected by a large majority. The meeting adjourned to re-con vene at the call of the president Following is the agreement under which the organization was effected ana me nBt or members who have algned the agreement, so fan Gastonia, Oct 18.: 1913. ; ; Feeling the lmnerative need of a live and energetic no-to-flare.
