Y. N. C. A. Formally Opened.

The handsome Y. M. G. A.
building at Spencer was formally
opened to the public Saturday
afternoon and night. An inform
al reception was held from 2 to
5 o'clock at which a large number
of visitors we're present. At 8
O'Clock p, M, addresses were made
by President Finley, Vlce-presi-
dent II. B. Spencer, General
Counsel Thorn and other gentle
men prominently connected with
the official staff of the road. Sun
day afternoon at 4 o'clock there
was a mas meeting for men, and
an address was made by G, J.
Hicks, of New York. A general
invitation had been extended the
public to be present and many
persons from this city went out.
1t is owing largely to the liberali-
ty of the Southern Railway Com
pany that such fine quarters have
been provided for the railroad Y.
M. G. A., and it was fitting that
the formal opening of the build
ing should be attended by a num-
Der of the principal officers of the
Company.

THE BUGGY CONTEST.
Standing Of the Candidates and the Votes
They Have to Date

One or two of the candidates
have taken a large stride ahead
since our last issue. Walter Bur-
rage, T. w. Watkins and Miss
Carrie Shaver have all forged
ahead, though Mr., Burrage still
leads the list. Last week there
was no candidate neal Mr.. Bur
rage, but it will be noticed that
Mr.. Watkins is coming along,
while the friends of Miss Shaver
are getting in some work for her.
No one need be discouraged by
the standing Of those in the lead,
for the ace may yet be won by
any of the other candidates, or
even by any new one who may
enter the contest. The interest il
warming up and all one has to do
to get votes is to go to work in
earnest. The contest does not
close for a little over two months
yet, and there is plenty of time
sor hustling. Below will be found
the vote of the several candidates
at the time of going to press to-
day:

House OF Commons Raided.

London. March 2O.-The women
suffragists attempted today a
demonstrative radon Parliament
more important and more numer-
Gus thai any of their previous ef-
forts. The police, however, had
timely warning and made prepar-
atoms that resulted in making
the demonstration somewhat inef-
fective. The only result was some
amusing disc rderly %scufles and
the arrest of nearly 70 suffragists
who we're at once liberated on
bail.
Previous to this demonstration
an Indignation meeting, which
was largely attended by the So
called ''suffraggettes" and their
friends was held at Caxton Hall
where the speakers denounced the
House of Commons for stlfing
the Dickinson woman suffragist
bill.
The raid was led by Lady Har-
berton, who was assisted by the
most prominent wome-A who took
part in the previous raids. The
women drove up in wagons, and
after promenading before the
houses of Parliament stormed the
entire entrance of the House of
Commons; whore the police REIN
forcements, drawn up for the &C.
casion. waited the onslaught and
drove the women back. After
this first rebuff the women made a
second determined attempt to
penetrate the police Gordon, but
all to little purpose. In accord.
ance with instructions the police
employed against the women as
little force a possible.

Tons Upon Tons

The purchase of 80 carloads Of -four
in one shipment by one jobber, every
one will grant, would be a tremendous
undertaking. The purchase of a car
load of GOOD LUCK" is in the same
proportion as a purchase of 80 carloads
of flour, as one car Of GOOD LUCK
will leaven 80 cars Of flour. Yet in
solid car load lots, J. K. Link Co., OF
Salisbury, are constantly purchasing
tons upon tons of GOOD LUCK" This
is due to two causes: First, on account
of it's purity and it's many other I'M
usual qualities there is a tremendous
demand for GOOD LUCK" Second,
J. K. Link Co., are big buyers of every
thing in the grocery line because they
cover a large territory and have on
their books a long list of satisfied. GUS
toners. In the Baking Powder line,
however, GOOD LUCK is the only
brand for which they nave so large a
demand as to justify it's purchase in
carload lots. This is good evidence
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1907-03-27

that it pleases the housekeeper who
makes the bread. During its many
years of use it has always Deer found
to be pure and effective in the i've
Leading chemists who have analysed
it have given it a strong endorsement
1t is guaranteed to comply with the
provisions of all Pure Food Laws, both
State and National.
The Patented, Tin-foil News Board
Can in which GOOD LUCK" is packed
is of especial advantage to the con-
sumner and the grocer because the Tin
foil between two layers of News Board
excludes moisture, and the top and
bottom are so constructed as to be more
air tight than other cans. The result
is that, when the powder goes into the
flour, it contains all of it's original good
qualities.
J. K. Link Co.. are thoroughly versed
in the art of merchandising. They I'M
derstand how to buy n how to sell.
The car of GOOD LUCK" pictured
above they have recently bought and

received. They are shipping this stock
out daily on the many orders received
from their customers, and it will be
only a short time when they will place
with the factory an order for another
car of GOOD LUCK"
Mr.. J. K. Link has the general direc-
ton of the buying.
They have always followed the policy
of travelling good, capable men on whom
they can rely and who possess the con-
fdence of the grocery trade. The fol-
sellers:
Mr.. E. L. Foil n Mr.. G. M. D.
KluttZ.
These gentlemen always have a good
word to say for GOOD LUCK" be-
cause wherever they put and recon-
mend it, it never fails to make good.
Mr.. R. c. Wight is in charge of the
GOOD LUCK sales in this territory,
and is assisted by Mr.. Norwood Spicer.
They report that GOOD LUCK is in
greater demand now than ever before.

Railroad Men Discharged.

A. L.. Pritchard, E. E. Tucker,
J. H. Banks and E. II. Benson,
employees of the Southern Rail-
way, who we're recently arrested
OF the charge of being concerned
in car robberies on the Southern,
have been discharged from Gus
tody. The men had a hearing
last week before a magistrate in
Greensboro, and the indictments
quashed.' Brakeman Vail, whose
evidence was relied on to prove
the charges, denied on the sand
that he had made an affidavit i'm
pl%icating these men, and under
these circumstances the trial had
to stop. Vail is under a $500
bond for his appearance atLthe
next term of the Guilford Supe-
rior court.
