Roberta and ' Treasurer Holland Submit Annual llcporte Oiahge Made In By-Laus-Seveu Directors to he Chosen at Adjourned Meet ing on 35th Attendance Wa Small. i There, was a bare quorum, 25 mem bers, present last night for the an nual meeting of the Gastonia Cham ber of Commerce. The night was bitterly cold, which perhaps account ed, to tome extent at least, tor the smallness of the crowd. The meeting was held at the court house, which was almost minus heat, and 8 o'clock was the time set. It was 8:50 when Mr. J. Lee Robinson, first vice-president, called the meeting to order. President T. L. Craig was out of the rity, being in Raleigh to attend the inauguration of Governor Bickett. What the meeting lacked in num bers, however, it made up In interest manifested by those present. Reading of the minutes of the last annual meeting was dispensed with and the first thing on the program was the submission by Secretary ('. W. Roberts of his annual report. This document is rather lengthy aud space forbids our giving it iu full to day. The activities of the various departments during the past twelve months were reviewed. It was stat ed that the industrial committee hud considered during the year 4 8 prop ositions and still had u number un der consideration. The advent' ing committee had. secured free advertis ing for the city which, if paid for, would have cost from 115,000 ;o 25,000. it had also saved the mer chants of the city several thousand dollars by censoring advertising schemes. The civic committee had fostered the first Hallowe en party and the first Municipal Christmas tree, both of which, were successes. Promises had been secured of sani tary drinking fountains at the court house and a ladies' rest room, neither of which has as yet materialized. The report showed that each of the several committees had been active during the year. The secretary's re port was accepted. Among the recommendations made in the secretary's report was that new aud larger offices be secured for the chamber on Main avenue. The annual report of the treasur er, Mr. J. M. Holland, was next sub mitted and adopted. It was as fol lows: RECEIPTS Cash in banks Dec. 31, 115 $ 4 Ml. 9 2 Membership collections ...

H. Separk; first vice-president, A. G. Myers; second vice-president. S. A. Robinson. All three of these gentlemen have been closely Identified with the chamber since its inception and are not only thoroughly familiar with its work ings but are enthusiastic over its pos sibilities. Each of the new officers made brief talks, the burden of which was an appeal to the members to lend their hearty, support, both, moral and financial, to tne chamber during the coming year. In no oth er way can it be in any measure a success, they said. Proposed changes in the by-laws precipitated a lengthyargument, not as to the merits of the proposed changes tehmselves but as to the le gality of putting the changes into immediate operation. The proposed changes had been previously drawn up and sanctioned by the board of directors and were adopted last night. The principal changes are aa follows: To allow any firm or corporation to take as many memberships In the chamber as desired at $12 each per year and designate a representative for each membership; providing for the appointment by the president and two vice-presidents of a nominating committee consisting of five 'mem bers, which committee shall, two weeks prior to the annual meeting on the second Thursday night in Janua ry, nominate officers for the ensuing year and furnish a list of said nom inees to the members of the chamber two weeks prior to the annual meet ing. Under a suspension of the by laws, this last named provision ts now in effect and the nominating committee will be named in a day or two. This committee will nominate seven directors whose names will be given to the members within a week. At an adjourned meeting, to be held .Thursday night, Januaiy 25th. at 8 o'clock in the court house, these nom , lnees will be voted on.- Another change In the by-laws is In the section providing for a beard vof directors. It reduces the. number from eleven to seven.

BICKETT IS GOVE RfOR INAUGURATED AT RALEIGH YESTERDAY CVreuionieM Were Kimplo Xew Oiief Executive Delivers Notable Ad dress -Outline Needed liegiKla tion Alont: Many lino Hynonfei.s of His Inaugural Addr-exi. Raleigh. Jan. 11. With simple ceremonies Thomas Walter Bickett. of Louisburg, was inaugurated gov ernor or North Carolina today, suc ceeding Icke Craig, of Asheville. Governor Bickett delivered his in augural address immediately after the oath had been administered by Chief Justice Walter Clark. Two recommendations of special interest were made by the Governor One concerning the state prison and the other regarding the sale of patent and proprietary medicines in the state. Governor Bickett declared that tne state prison represents an inexcusa ble waste of a million dollars capital to transact the business, while this could be done better at a cost or $100,000. He recommended that The state prison be converted into an asylum lor the insane, and that the prisoners should be provided with comfortable and sanitary quarters. He declared that to sentence a man to t lie county chain gang was cruel and excessive punishment. With regard to patent medicines, the governor declared that lie favor ed p. law making i. a felouy for auy one to sell or offer for sale, ufadvertlse for sale in t he state any proprietary medicine purporting to euro cancer, tuberculosis, paralysis, or any other disease for which state and national medical organizations say no euro lias been found. lie advocated that all venders of patent medicines liie with the stute board of health a statement show ing the exact composition of siien medicines and empower the board to forbid the hale of any that have no; been found to possess curative value. A constitutional amendment whicii would exempt from taxation noces and mortgages iven in good faith for the purchase of a home not to ex ceed $:'.,ooo and to run more than 20 years; also he advocated a law pro viding that the automobile licenses he disbursed throughout the state in building state highways. The Governor discussed legisla tion regarding the manufacturing In dustries of the state. "1 insist that legislation with respect to our miiis ind factories be made v;th reference. to the living conditions in North Car olina, and not to reflect the con science of New Kngland and the the ories of professional agitators." he declared. Further the governor wanted legislation that would have mills to put running water into the hoii.es of operatives, where the wa ter is within u reasonable distance, and also that the schools in import ant centers have a course of practi cal subjects taught. Governor Bickett recommended that the state hospitals for the In sane be put under one central man agement, as should the University and the A. & M. College. He also recommended the short ballot and rotation in office. Mr. Thomas Walter Bickett ar rived in Raleigh from his h'ome in Ixniisburg this morning on a special train, accompanied by the sfeciai In augural committee of the Legislature members of his family and u iarge number of friends. He was met at the I nion station by committees representing the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce, the Raleigh and Durham Rotary clubs and the Woman's club, of thii; city. From the Cnion station tae Governor-elect at the head of a procession of automobiles and escorted by tne cadets of the North Carolina Agri cultural CollcKe and the college bann, proceeded to the Governor's Man sion on North BlouiW street where ho was joined by Governor Craig. The procession then proceeded to the Varborough hotel wneie a committee representing the civic organization., of the city, state officials and distin guished citizens from all parts of North Carolina welcomed the Gov ernor and Governor-elect. From tne hotel the party went to the City Au ditorium where the Inaugural cere monies were held. The Bible used in the ceremony was presented to Governor Bickett by J.

CITY COp MEETS ENDORSE WHOLE TIeIeALIH OFFICER Hoard of Aldermen Transact Much Business at Iteiula;' Monthly Meet ing Tuesday Night Prof. P. C Hall, of Greater Gmton Associa tion, Asks for Health Officer for (Viunty Action Taken in Regard U- tlty Meat and Milk Inspector. The regular monthly meeting ot the city obhncil was held Tuesday night at the city ball. Mayor Pro Tern A. B. Elliott, presiding. Sever al petitions asking for street paving and sidewalks were heard and ac cepted; a report of the city engineer was read; the question of one or more underpasses to take the place of a $ many railroad crossings was discussed; the board went on record as favoring a whole-time health of ficer for Gastonia and Gas ton coun ty, and appointed u committee to frame an ordinance providing for a milk and meat inspector for the city. Prof. F. P. Hall, of Pelmoni. pres ident of the Greater Gaston Associa tion came before the board, as chair man of an appointed committee -of the association, asking that Gastonia co-operate with the county commis sioners and the county school board and employ n whole-time health of ficer, whose duties would be to con duct an examination of the school children at the opening of the school term, to conduct an anti-typhoid re ver campaign and to look after tiie health conditions of the entile coun ty throughout the year. A salary of $:t.t00 was recommended, to be paid equally by the city of Gastonia. the county school board and the county of Gaston. This plan as submitted had been worked out by the associa tion and offered on its merits. Among other facts that were brought out in the course of Mr. Hall's talk was that Gaston county has no health laws, the county board oi health has not met since 1915, the people are unprotected Tor lack of health ordinances, and the situation of the county alont, this line is. ap palling. With the services of a whoie tiino health officer, such as many oi the progressive counties over tue State are employing, much of the ty phoid and malaria fever would be stamped out and health conditions greatly Improved. "Gaston county," dm-lared Prof. Hall, "is ahead on schools a i) good roads but far be.r hind in the matter of health, and there is .much unnecessary suffering as a result , of this condition. The situation is appalling and something should be done." The sense of the board was that the cause was a vital one and worthv o! careful consideration. They went on record as heartily in favor or whole-time health officer. There was some difference of opinion as to tne phi n of securing one. however. Inas much as the city had already con tracted for a-city and school physi cian, no action could be taken at t:ie present. Dr. I). A. Garrison, who had come in for another, purpose, was called upon and stated that the medical society of Gaston county was in favor of such an officer. He gave some facts and figures showing tiie need of a health officer. x Mr. John L. Beal next presented before the board the matter of a inilK and meat Inspector for the city, hav ing been requested by Mayor Ariu strong to bring the subject up. at this time. Mr. Beal. when a member of the city council two years ago, advo cated a milk and meat inspector Tor Gastonia, and had repeatedly asked for such an officer. Dr. D. A. Garri son, representing the civic commit tee of the Woman's Betterment As sociation, spoke on the dangers the people of this city were placed In at all times because of the impure milk supply. A committee was appointed by the board to confer at a joint meeting of the civic committee to draft an ordi nance putting restrictions on tne milk dealers in the city and as to the advisability of securing an Inspector for the city. A report of Mr Lloyd Mc. C. Ross, city engineer, was heard and accepted. This report showed that during the past year ending January 1. five and two tenths miles of as phalt paving and 1 snd seven tentUs miles of curb and gutters Had been laid In the city. There is now order ed and under way two and five tenths miles of asphalt and four and two tenths miles of curb and gutters. A request of Mr. T. C. Smith for water and lights on Harvey avenue was referred to the water and light committee. The question of extending Fourth avenue from Chester to Loray was referred to the street committee. The street committee was ordered to state the grade on Third avenue for the information of Mr. J. N Ban na and others. .' Chairman of the street committee was authorized to confer with attor ney and take up with the Southern Railroad in regard to some protec tion on the railroad crossings in, the city, especially en North York . and Marietta streets. Mr. J. L. Wallace, ex-Confederate veteran, was allowed to peddle witn out license. An adjustment of the tax on the warehouse of the Farmers Union Warehouse Company of 13,0047 er roneously charged, was ordered. Chairman of the street committee was ordered to notify the C. A N.-W.
