There are a large number of appli-
cations not yet passed upon.
Plans were adopted for the adver-
tisement of Raleigh on the Extensive
side, and this will include, nearly ev-
cry industry and enterprise in the city,
as we'll as its advantages as a resi-
dence city. Several projects are all
ready a foot, nd We're announced last
night, whereby the industrial club will
cause to be established in Raleigh
several important manufacturing con-
Germs.
When the meeting was called to
order last night, the President. Mr..
Alexander Webb, thanked the Club for
the honor of choosing him as its head.
and said he believed that much could
be accomplished for the good of Raj
eigh if the young men of the city
would organize and work toward def
mite objects with certain purpose
and determination. He said the Club
would cooperate and work in harmo-
ny, hand in hand. with the Cham
Der of Commerce and other similar
organizations in Raleigh whose OBJ
jects were to upbuild and promote
the citycity, to put it abreast and
ahead OF other North Carolina cities
that are progressing rapidly. There
will ben administering or admiXing
of politics in the Industrial Club, said
Mr.. Webb, but as one object will be
the welfare and upbuilding of Raj
eigh. Nothing that might hampersre-
suits will be permitted To be injected
into the Club. a
The following resolutions were of
fered by Mr. r. D. w. Conner. and
was adopted unanimously:
Resolved. That the Industrial Club
cordially invite the Chamber of Com
merce,, Merchants Association and all
other similar organiZa tons in the city
of Raleigh to cooperate with it in its
efforts toward the general improve
ment of the city
The Club signally honored Mr.. w
j. Peele, it's officer. by unanimously
electing him its first honorary mem
Der, and TO double the. honor, no other
honorary member was elected last
night.
President Webb said that the Ex-
ecutive Committee had considered the
ACCESSIBILITY Of carrying projects into
execution Immediately, and the first
proposal was that Raleigh be advertis-
ed. The manner in which this will be
done is to have committees to take

ed, who will collect and reduce to

advantages of the city with the view
to melting the investment of capital
here. To induce manufacturing enter
prizes to locate here; and to persuade

chase and build homes here: to up
