CELEBRATION OF THE DAY DIS.
CUSSED.
Executive Committee and other Com
mittees Named to Take Charge of
Arrangements-Bal and Reception.

A state reception and ball, following
the usual celebration of the Fourth of
July, is the program indicated by the
discussion at the meeting yesterday af-
ternoon in the Capitol building. The
actual business done was the turning
over of $3.50 from an old Fourth of July
committee, the expressions of willing
ness of those members of the inaugu-
ration ball committee present, to turn
over $3.50 held by that committee, and
the passing of a resolution asking Act
ing Governor Cooper to appoint a COM
mttee of Is, to have general charge of
the celebration
The Acting Governor called the meet
ing to order, and asked for nominations
for chairman. j. j. Atherton nominat-
ed Cooper, and ne was duly chosen. w.
H. Hoogs nominated j. A. Gilman for
secretary and he was also chosen.
Cooper then asked for reports from
committees.
Abraham Lewis, speaking for w. Q.
Smith, chairman of a former Fourth of
July committee stated that there were
$3.50 in the hands of the committee,
which was at the disposal of this year S
committee. c. NJ. Cooke, chairman of
the finance committee of the June IA
inaugural celebration, said that there
which he thought could be turned over
also. j. b. Atherton, of the committee,
said that he had no doubt that all of
the committee would vote to turn over
the cash and that there should be ac-
ton by the 14th of June executive com
mittee, to properly turn over the mon
ey. He called the names of the mem
bers of the committee who were pres
ent, and all favored such action. This
gives the Fourth of July committee
this year $1,000 to start with.
Judge Humphreys said that 1t had
been suggested to him that in addition
to the usual entertainments, there
should be a state reception, in the af-
ternoon or evening. 1t would give the
executive an opportunity to recognize
the occasion in his official capacity, and
afford an opportunity for all elements
in the community to get together and
exchange the compliments of the day.
THE day is one on which the executive
and the first judge of the First Circuit
Court can get together and read the
Declaration of Independence without
injury to either" said Humphreys.
Cooper said that as far as he was
concerned, the suggestion met with a
ready response. 1T is true the treas
ury is poor" he said, but l believe
ItAere is still money enough so that we
can spare enough to show our patrio-
tism."
Col. Jones wanted to know how much
the government could spare. Cooper
stated that he would have to consult
with the treasurer first. but that he
thought the government could do as
well as it did for the 14th of June cele-
bration. For that, the government set
aside 81, 900. The entertainment appro-
rriation for the present fiscal period of
two years was $1,000 and only $3.50 had
been used so far. Wright was present,
but did not say anything about putting
| up thousand.
w j. CoelhO proposed a resolution to
set aside some money for the lepers'
celebration, but Cooper said that that
matter would fall to another commit
tee.
