The Battle of Kings Mountain Memorial A ssociatioa held a mass meeting of membership last Thursday night for the purpose of adooting a constitution and by-laws for the association to take the place of lite old consti tution and by-laws which have been lost and to further discuss plans for the 7th of October cele bration. The entire time was consumed in the discussion and adoption of the constitution and by-laws and plans for the cele bration wtre not reached. The new constitution and by laws contemplates the ultimate incorporation of the association and ofti Srf. and directors will be olecUid" according' .v. The membership clause pre cipitated quite a lively discussion ar.d was finally stricken out and a new one provided. The clause proposed and recommended by the committee provided that the membership should consist of such persons as should be nom inated and recommended by tome member and should then receive a majority vote of the house. Those present were almost unan imous in contending that the re quirements would automatically eliminate a large element of heretofore useful members and they, therefore, voted it out. Esquire W. A. Mnuney thensug Rested the following membership clause which was adopted: "Any whjtc person in Kings Mountain or vicinity, eitlirfv male or fe male, may become a member of the association by enrollment of his name with t'ic secretary l nere is no membership lees or assessment devolving upon mem bers. All any person has to do to become member is to see the secretary, Rev. C. K. Bell, and nave his name enrolled. This enrollment has never been re quired before, everybody being considered members. There were fourteen present when the last clanse was adopt bd and they signed the document as charter members of the asso' ciation. v;' ' - . The peoole as a whole art not evincing the interest in the Work that it seems that - they should It is hoped that a large number will see the' secretary and enroll their names and take an active interest in making the 1916 cele bration th ) best ir. the h'story of the moyement.
