COMMERCE 3O4-MONTHLY
MEETING TONIGHT

Citizens of Goldsboro have notice
pIacards about the streets and in tt
windows of the stores during sever
days past, bearing the words: "Joi
the Chamber of Commerce-Hel
Make Greater Go1dsboro.'
These cards are an open invitatio
to public spirited citizens to identif
themselves with a powerful organize
tion which is carrying on an activ
work which is destined to make Colds
boro one of the most important cite
of the South. The appearance of tn
cards was simultaneous with an &C
tive campaign for a greater member
ship in the Chamber of Commerce
conducted by energetic members O.
that organization.
They were busy men who for two
days carried on most spirited an6
efficient campaign. They took the time
from their own important affairs to
serve the organization of which they
are strong supporters and it is certain
that there was never a more enthusi-
astic campaign.
In the two days they secured 121
new members. This speaks highly not
only for the energy and spirit of the
members of these rival teams who con-
Quoted the work, but for the men who
allied themselves with the public work
that is being done by the organization
of which they are now honored mem
bers.
Those who could not spare the time
for work on both days secured sub
stitutes to labor in their place.
Team No. One was led by Mr. J. M

Membership Committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce
Team No. Two was under the strong
lead ship of Mr.. Rufus Stevens, of
the Link of Wayne
Both teams and both leaders secured
remarkable results and, while Team
No. One went down to defeat in the
campaign, it was to a graceful and
