of the State that is attracting wide atten-
ton by its phenomenal growth and pros
perity Lees Practical Business College,
of Charlotte, is entitled to prominent
mention. "A brief statement of few
facts will be sufficient to show how this
growth has been brought about.
The institution was established the
first of January, 1899, and dts doors
were opened with one pupil and one
teacher. MIR. ID. L. Lee. president of
the College, saw in Charlotte need of just
such an institution and he had suffi-
cient confidence in his own ability and
the future of Charlotte to fit up his col
lege with all modern appliances and at
no small expense. Since organization
the quarters occupied have been the en-

During the mayoralty campaign Mr..
Mccall was opposed by two candidates.
During the first primary he lacked but
fifteen votes of securing the nomination
over both. The second primary nomi-
mated him by a majority of 10 votes.
The following May he was elected with
out opposition. The selection was a wise
one. Although his administration has
been brief, it has been progressive and
has given great satisfaction. Improve
