Upon the arrival of the dele gates on the east bound train they were met at the union station by the local members of that organization and were escorted in automobiles to the Gaston Hotel where thoy partook of a litfht lunch and hastened to the court house where the business of the convention was to be transacted. Mayor C. .J. McCarthy had been chosen to deliver the address of" we! comeon behalf of the city but be wis compelled to leave the city to attend to some business matters previous to the meeting and could not be present. In his absence Hon. Ii. A. Nunn welcomed the visitors to the-city in a few well timed remarks. Mr. S. M Hrinson, Kiq., dehvpiu 1 the address of welcome in behalf of the Building and Loan Associations of New Bern. He said: ''I am hnppy to hae the opportunity of voicingsthc voice of the people of this city in ceni eral and of the local Building and Loan Associations in welcoming you to cur beautiljul city. Every citizen accords you a cordial welcome. For many years we lived in the past but I now point with much piide to the achievements we have accomplished during the pest few years." Mr. Brinson Ihen toldpf the birth of the local association, what hardship it had to bear before it wbs finally placed on a substantial basis and upon Us present prosperity. His ad- dreis was well rendered and Was greats ly enjoyed by all. ResponsBto addresses of welcome was made by Mr. J no. W. Gulledge, Efq., of Wadesboro. Be" gained and held the undivided attention of tho entire audi ence during the time that he was speak ing and When he closed, the applause was load and prolonged. First Vice-President, O. A. Follin, of Winston- 8alem, then made a short ad dress in which he directed thn delibera tion of the Convention. He aaid: Gentlemen of the North Carolina B.

In speaking of the work of the association daring the past year he said; . c ., Mr. President and Gentlemen-' of the League: This is,' our 8th annual convention, The organization meeting was held at Wilmington or Wrightsville Beach, to be exact, on June 25th, 1903. The first' annual gathering was also at Wrights ville Beach in 1904; t'he second at Char lotte in 1905; the third at .Winston-Sa lem in 1906; the fourth at Greensboro in 1907; the fifth at Asheville in 1908: the sixth.a't ftale?h in 1909; the seventh at Charlotte in 1910, It is known to us all that at the time this League was organized, fin so far as number of associations ia concerned or general interest manifested in Building and Loan work considered, this great1 concern in behalf of the financial bet terment of the masses was in its infan cy. It is tiue, there were a number of associations then operating, and opera ting most successfully, in several sec tions of the State, but little was known of them or their methods, save in the particular localities wherein they were located. The oldest now doing business in the State of North Carolina was born in Charlotte in 1881; the next in point of age was organized in the same city in 18S3. In 1886 there were Associa tions in Monroe and Wilmington; in 1886 one at Salisbury; in 1887. another in Wilmington, and one each in Statev ville ad New Berr,; in 1888 one each in Lenoir, RutHerfordton and Concord; in 189 another in Wilmington, and one each in Wadesboro, Tarboro, Wilson and Winston-Sa'era. These have been added to from year to year until we now have in the State, not counting a number re cently organized, or which have not yet reported to the proper department at Raleigh, one hundred and thirteen (113). Of this number 76 have been Created since the birth of this League 8 years ago. ini ie are colored. It is unnecessary to state to you gen tlemen, who have been in touch with the work, xChat,very many of these owe their inspiration and organization to the activities of this institution, the Stale Ijeague. It it equally true, that much of the success attending the labors of all of these Associations, old and new. is due in nt small degree to this same source. There were' e'even accessiona during 1909. I haven't tbe namber for 1910, botifr la, doubtless greater than for the the prev lout year,. On Januaiy 1, 1910 the nurnbr of sbareholdnra was in exceis of 4,000, and the numter of shares were, about 175,000, Of the shareholders about 4,000 were colored. The total atsett, one; year ' agi, aqd we are counting on Mr those which made report as jrequlred by law", arooanted to aboot 17.000.00(1 This aural no doobt considerably turgor new -on, aecourit of m-reaaea inarnoiaeraria the, aid o 4iUon' 'and " Ihrodth Ui new -ra- Nona oariig aa"1 . wi.wi; nii no ruber 44 are embei of the Ltagoo, , leaving mora thar) half stll beyond tbe eimmt and Mrslatnt pleadings of year ofliclnis for Ueir sympathy, their eld. their co-opcratloo In, this labor of tove and patriotic f Itort for he uplift of the masfes, And ef peclally Tor the tatter msnt of that ctaas t oor citten, the waga-faraers.'who ara trnxt needful of (hW Influences ondrtyinf the Operations Of U4 lrAtiWllons.-.-v,. ; Of our 43 mambers 18 ara not la good 'arrdintr, that Is, they hare ttot paid their duM for Ml. lfeel It k due you tossy that repeated', effort baa bean many. Duty -time this almost insignifi cant sdm.l Tbe greatest reason, howev aijls tbaB the officials do not. realize what is to) be gained by joining us. They do not Seem to realize that bad and unworthy organizations are kept out of the State by oar efforts; that im proved methods of conducting the busi ness, of simplifying the work, of at tracting the people in an honest and le gitimate way are often found and giv en out in these meetings. . They do not grasp the full meaning and purpose of this movement. Another great weakness, gentlemen, that too many of the associations are unwilling' to defray the expenses of one or more delegates to these annual meet ings, and' the individual does n jt feel like he should be called upon to pay it himself, and,Mn many cases, Rb is . una ble. He should not be expected to do it. The benefit is great, and it is reap ed by the association and by the people of the town or community. Until our people come to a more liberal .view of these matters, until they think what it all means, attaching thereto dne impor tance, our work will remain handicap- ped, ande shall not come into our own. An unusual amount of correspondence and of general effort have been put forth this yeir to remedy existing troubles. Invitations to all the associ ations within the State, members and -non members, to attend this meeting have been repeatedly extended. New organizations have been urged to be come members, and all proper and de cent means have been employed to in terest them, but satisfactory returns have not come in. We are, however, growing and improving, and let us hupe that during this year many who are now outsido will come within the circle. It becomes my sad duty to report of ficially the death of our distinguished and greatly beloved President. Mr. Sam'l Wittkowsky. which occurred on the 14th of February, 1911. He passed away literally in harness, in his office, and I doubt not his active mind, bis en thusiastic temrfernment, his wondrou. love for this causewore being energet ically "employed at the hour when the final summons came. I shaH- not fur ther permit my heart to speak his praises at this moment, since suitable resolutions bearing npon our great loss will be presented for your consideration during the sessions of this c invention. I will add simply thst since the crea tion of this loss in our official family, I have had the hearty co-operation of our distingished friend and .co-laborer, Mr, G. A. Follin, of WinVon Salem, a well as that of ths other membera cho sen to do ytur bidding. " Immediately after Mr, Keesler had (-Concluded his report, the report of sev eral of the standing ' committees were made, after which the meeting ad journed and the membera were carried to the Gaston hotel where a delightful luncheon, wis served them. The visiting delegates, with a number of local invited guests, ladies among the latter, were given a delightful ten mils down aod back sail on the Neose river by tbe local organizations, the houe Mat Comfort being tendereJ the party by the eoorfe-y of Mr. W.
