For many years It has been a cus
tom among the Trinity College
alumni of the North Carolina Meth
odist Conference to hold a banquet
during the annual conference ses
sion. A committee of the Trinity
College Alumni Association for lias
ton County, composed of J. H. Se
park, S. J. Durham. J. M. Holland
and R. O. Cherry, conceived the idea
of holding a similar banquet at tne
session of the Western North Caro
lina Conference. In fulfillment or
that idea a Trinity College Alumni
.banquet was held at the Armington
Hotel in Gastonia on Saturday af
ternoon, November 2."th. beginning
at 2 o'clock and lasting through the
afternoon.
The dining room was beautifully
decorated with green pot Mowers
and Trinity banners and pennants or
the regulation blue and white colors.
The management of the hotel pro
vided a splendid menu, which com
ing at a late hour, following a long
morning session of conference, was
thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
Around the banquet table were
gathered more than seventy-five al
umni and friends of the college.
Among that number were many of
the men who have had leading uaris
in the history which has made Trini
ty one of the really great Southern
colleges. Mr. J. H. Separk. our fel
low townsman and member of the
board of trustees of Trinity ollege.
acted as toastmaster for the occas
ion. The first speaker was Bishop
John C. Kilgo, "Dr. Jack," who made
a stirring appeal to Trinity men as
sembled to keep alive their spirit of
loyalty to their alma mater. During
the course of his remarks. Dr. Kllgo
announced that he could see the re
alization of his effort to build a
modern gymnasium as a fit com
memoration of the twenty-fifth an
niversary of the removal of Trinity
College to Durham. This statement
met with hearty applause, and tiien
he announced that with the continu
ed support and united effort of trie
alumni he would pledge himself to
undertake the work of erecting a
modern science building on Trinity
campus to replace the old Crowell
Science Hall.
Following Bishop Kilgo. the toast
master called upon President W. 1'.
Few. who was warmly greeted by
the alumni assembled, lie expressed
appreciation for the continued and
increasing loyalty which filled the
hearts of the alumni everywhere,
and told something of the work iie
ing done at Trinity College at trie
present time. Dr. Few said "Aggres
sive fighting for the right" had been
his purpose while acting as president
of Trinity College and that he had
never been a so-called progressive
for he wanted to be right. He call
ed upon the alumni to gather rrom
the past whatever was good and go
on with it.
The next speaker was Dr. Plato T.
lhirham, an old student nad former
professor of Trinity College and ar
the present time head of the depart
ment of biblical literature at Emory
University in Atlanta. Ga. Dr. Our
liam spoke 'of the liberality or
thought which pervaded the policies
hnao whn warn lonrinr nt Trinity
"VI l V 1, V " VI " 1 " w. v - - -
College repledged himself to bis alma
mater, and by his stirring testimony
of personal and Individual loyalty
moved all his hearers to greater re
solves of loyalty and duty to their
-college.
Dr. Gilbert T. Rowe closed the
regular program. He spoke of the
transitional period of the college,
and reviewed its history from the
early beginnings to Its present great
ness. , He spoke of the accomplish
ment' of the college and by way or
illustration, said that he could ex
press the accojnpllshment at Trinity
College by an epigram, which was
original, and of the Rowe-coinage,
and no doubt destined to become a
classic, to-wlt: "The people who do
something are the folks who get
something done!"
' Following the regular proeram
short impromptu speeches were
heard frera several, among whom
notably were Rev. W. A. Lambetn
and Mr. J. C. Wilborn. Mr. Wllborn.
who is mayor of York, S. C, said
that it had been 41 years since ne
graduated from Trinity College, bur
that his loyalty to his alma mater
had never waned in enthusiasm, and
that he felt enthused with the same
spirit today that had filled his heart
when he left "Old Trinity" In the
year 1875.
The meeting was in every way a
success, and marks the beginning or
what all Trinity College alumni hope
will be an 'unbroken precedent for
the holding of a Trinity banquet and
get-to-gether meeting at each annual
session of the Western North Caro
lina Conference. A committee com
posed of J- H, Separk, Dr. Gilbert T.
Rowe and Rev. W. A. Lambeth were
unanimously appointed to make ar
rangements for a banquet to beheld
at the placW of meeting of the
next annual Western North Carolina
Conference. ,'. . .

Success.
At a meeting of the directors ol
the Gaston County Fair Association
held last night, In the office of Secre
tary J. M. Holland, reports on tne
second annual fair were submitted
by that official and were received
and adopted by the board. It was
shown that the fair was a success fi
nancially, the receipts being a little
more than sufficient to cover ail dis
bursements. The directors were
highly pleased with the manner in
which the fair was handled and with
I he results obtained.
After hearing reports on the last
lair the directors took under consid
eration plans for the third annual
lair to be held next October. One or
the first things to be undertaken will
be a complete revision of the premi
um list. Secretary Holland has al
ready begun that work. He has got
ten premium lists from all the lead
ing fairs in the South In formulat
ing the 1917 list for the Gaston
County Fair he will combine all the
best features found in the premium
lists of leading southern fairs. One
departure that will be made, that so
far as known has not been made by
any county fair, will be the' offering
of a third cash prize on everything
in each department. This wfll in
crease the amount offered in premi
ums by about ;!:! I-:! per cent. The
rules under which premiums will be
offered for next year will be such
that each person receiving a ribbon
will also get some cash.
This revised premium list will be
submitted to the directors of t;ie
several departments at an early date
for their sanction and as soon as
passed on will be printed and dls
Iributed to every person in the coun
ty who wishes a copy.
Secretary Holland was re-elected
and is to give such time to the work
during the fail, spring and summer
as may be necessary.
On the third Thursday in January
the annual meeting of the associa
tion will be held and officers, in
cluding the department directors,
will be c hosen.
It is generally accepted that t:ie
splendid success of the I !i I H fair wa.
due to the magnificent spirit or co
operation exhibited by all classes or
people in the county and Secretary
Holland is banking on this same
spirit of co-operation to make the
