PRES. POGUES ADDRESS
THU CITY HAS GONE FORWARD
DESPITE THE PERIOD
OF DEPRESSION.
Mr.. R. B. RANEY ELECTED PRESIDENT
The Reports Of the Officers Read and Filed :
The Chamber Has the Largest Mem
bership in Its History.

The Chamber Of Commerce held its an
nual meeting for election of officers last
night.
President Pogue called the meeting to
order and Secretary Allen read the pro-
ceedings Of the previous meeting. Messrs.
Eugene Carpenter and Edward Birdsong
were elected members.
Mr.. r. b. Raney from the committee
on army post read several letters relative
to a proper place for locating the post.
Several parties have given options on
very suitable tracts for such a purpose.
Secretary Allen read a letter from Mr..
Frank Haywood, the gentleman who
conducted the party Of New Jersey edi-
tors to Raleigh last spring, in which he
says that he will bring large party of
editors from Pennsylvania to this State
in October, and he wishes to know if he
shall include Raleigh in his trip. Mr.. X.
H. Battle moved that the editors be in
yited to stop in the city and that spe-
cial committee appointed by the Presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce be en-
powered to provide such entertainment
and courtesy as the chamber can afford.
Mr.. Drewry expressed the opinion that
half an entertainment DID more harm
than good and unless the chamber takes
this matter enthusiastically in hand and
heartily worked up the visit of the city

editors it would not be beneficial to the
city. Several members concurred in the
views expressed by Mr.. Drewry. Mr..
Battles motion was adopted.
Mr.. Patrick writes the Secretary that
he expects to bring 400 immigrants from
Pennsylvania to this State this winter.
Secretary Allen announced that Octo-
Der Sth had been selected as Raleigh day
at the Nashville Centennial Exposition.
This is also Charlotte day, and it was
Thought best for both cities to combine
and make the day greater success than
either city could do alone. Seven tickets
TO Nashville remain for the Chamber to
dispose of. and these will be used by
seven members who will attend on this
day. These tickets can be bought by
members of the Chamber for 50, and by
non-members for Sc. A motion was made
and carried to appropriate not more than
500 to be expended by the Chamber at
Nashville for Raleigh day.
PRESIDENT POGUE'S ADDRESS.
President Pogue called Mr.. r. H. Bat
tie to the chair and then proceeded to
read his annual report, which was as fol-
lows:

Chamber is the non attendance. of mem

REPORT OF SECRETARY.

Mr.. George Allen, secretary, read his
report as follows:
The present membership of the Cham
her of Commerce is nearly one hundred
and fifty of the business and professional
men of Raleigh. During the past year
the name of the chamber was used to
entertain visiting editors, and to pay for
a write-up of the city, full page, in
%. 600 copies Of the Manufacturer Rec
ord of Baltimore, of which the chamber
distributed 500 copies. An edition OF
10000 copies of Raleigh Hand Book, Of
which 5000 have been distributed at
the Nashville Exposition and 5000 have
been sent by mail. The chamber also
paid for a display advertisement of Raj
eigh, six 6x12 feet, on the Mammoth
| Car of the Seaboard Air L:ne on the In
position grounds. where it has been seen
| and read by thousands Of people during
/ the past six months.
Several measures that have been rec
commended and urged by this Chamber
opening and improving streets and side
! walks and the issue of $4,000 bonds to
continue the work, have been accom-
plshed, which will greatly benefit the
city.
A large number of public and private
! buildings have been erected; charter
has been obtained for city library, and
a liberal sum has been pledged by mem
bers Of the Library Associa ton. A Life
Insurance Company is being ORGANIZED;
also a publishing company. he Watauga
/ Club has been re-organized, and other
work that will be of benefit to the city.
/ Our action has stimulated other places,
and in some instances they have complet-
ed what we have yet in progress. 1t rests
largely with the members of the organi-
cation to say what the future Of Raleigh
shall be. The quorum has been reduced
to ten members. and an executive conf
mittee, composed of the chairmen of the
various committees, are now authorized

the recent atrocities In Armenia and
who would desolate the villages of
Greece should the two nations come to
war. The intensity of their hatred for
everything Christian is amazing and
the killing of women, children and
babies they regard as glorious re-
igious achievements. In attacking
defenseless communities they are to
be feared, but against regular troops
they could do little damage because Of
the inferiority Of their arms. Thus,
Turkey in war with Greece would be
dependent upon it's regular troops and
as has been shown, the numerical eff
fectiveness Of these has suffered great
ly by the corruptive methods of Of
ficials.
The Aavy Of Greece is much superior
to that of Turkey, and an actual war
between the two nations might show
that the supposed inferior military
strength of Greece would be equal to
the struggle, even without counting
upon Christian uprisings in different
parts of the sultan's empire.

pass at once into the iktihat, or class
Of Immediate reserves; the others only
reach this dignity after four years pre-
urinary service in the regiment. Six
years is the total period Of service in
the nizam, or rank and file Of the
amy.
At the end of those six years the re-
serVist becomes a redif for eight years.
and then passes into the mustafz for
the full period OF his life during which
he is capable Of bearing arms. The
TeGifs and the mustafz hold themselves
ready to be called upon for military
duty in times of war
1t is not in the peace establishment
OF the regular army that the military
strength Of Turkey resides, but in the
enormous expansion Of which it is
capable at short notice through the
mobilization of the redifs and the mus
tafiz. The men are all in the country
and can be got together with the
greatest ease, for the mussulman pop
ulation Is not a shifting one. Every
redif's name stands on the gister, and
the force is controlled by the system of
muster and inspection which takes
place every four months.
Five thousand officers are distributed
among the recruiting districts solely for
this purpose The actual standing
army OF 100000 men could be increased
to nearly 100000 at short notice, pro-
vtded, of course, that there were suf-
ficient funds in the treasury.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1897-04-01

That is the way the matter stand OH
paper, but literally it is another affair
altogether. AS matter of fact, there
are very few districts where the sys-
tenn has been put in running order and
none where the conscripts of the year
do not buy exemption from service
whenever they are able to do so. In
one case in a military district near
Smyrna the population made a contract
with the enrolling officers that, in con-
sideration of lump sum, paid down III
cash, the district should be exempt.
The money was paid, and the conscript
ing officers returned fictitious rolls, and
went back, rich and contented, to Con-
stantinOple. In another, the con-
scripting officer was Prevailed on to en-
roll the population of the prisons; in
third all the beggars and poverty strick-
en- wretches to be found in the district
were entered Us conscripts, while the
able bodied men escaped.
Owing to the many falsifed returns
made by the conscripting officers in the
far off country districts it can readily
| be seen that the actual strength of the
! regular army is largely Overrated by
| the official statements.
! The irregular troops of the sultan are
supposed TO amount to 5000 men, and
this estimate is probably not far from
the truth. 1t is these troops who can
! be depended upon to make any war
which Turkey may engage in a most
hideous slaughter. They are little bet
ter than savages, ignoring all the HUI
name rules of modern warfare and be-
lieving only in indiscriminate slaugh-
ter.
They are tremendous fighters, and
We're they properly armed and efficient
ly generated they would constitute a
fighting force which could be made al
most invincible, particularly in a war
against Christians. Bodily fear is the
exception among them. All Moham-
| medans are fatalists, and thees irregu-
lars carry the belief to an extravaganza
degree. They believe that death is to
come 10 them at a certain time and al
a certain place. aud in consequence
they expose themselves to danger with
2 reckiessness almost beyond belief
The same trait has been observed
among the regular troops of the sui
tan, and their utter disregard for death
has led many European generals to say
