WYATT JACKSON ARMFIELD.

Under the heading, Representa-
tive Men of North Carolina" the
Charlotte Observer had the follow.
ing to say, in part, of Mr. w. J. Arm
field, of this city:
In the North Carolina Piedmont
that good section where uninterrupt-
ed by mountain or swamp the folks
are neighborly and know what ev-
erybody in the community had for
dinner and paid for his last pair of
pants-the citizens have long since
come to recognize that the name of
Armfeld stands for substantial in
tegrity and more particularly for
conservative but at the same time
friendly and progressive banking.
Of a family which had located in
the Quaker portion of Guilford coun-
ty there was no choice about the
early years of Mr.. Armfeld's life
he had to be farmer. For that
matter he is possessed of farming
interests yet. AS tiller of the soil
he was industrious and painstaking
as much so as if he had been ia
conscious training for his after life
of business.
Born in the Deep River neighbour
hood, few miles from High Point,
November IS. 1843, his education
was begun in the schools of the COM
munity and completed in 1851 after
a. course in DR.. Mendenhall's acad-
envy and Oak Ridge Institute.
The year 1865 found him without
means and in a country where
money was far from plentiful, so he
entered the employ of large lndi-
ana nursery, gaining experience that
was later to be of great value In
1868 he was married to Miss jennie
Britt, of Nashville, Tenn, and two
years later embarked in the nursery
business for himself. Here he met
success beyond his expectations.
economy backed by intelligent in
dustry soon putting his undertaking
on profitable basis.
But he was not to remain nurs-
eryman. In 1875 his connection be-
gan with banking; at that time he
was director of the National Bank of
Greensboro In 1888 he was elected
president of the National Bank of
High Point when it was organized,
ami from that time on was to bend
his principal energies in that direc- {
ton. |,

ton and in his neighbours Especial $

An Important Law.

A bill passed by the last legisla-
ture provides that in case of sale of
property under mortgage, new sale
shall be ordered in case the sale price
is increased S per cent within 10

sells for less than $500, it will re-
quire a 10 per cent increase to Sc

of her remarkable growth and pros
iperity to him and his associates.
+ Let's trace his connection with
I other banks. He has been a director
of the Greensboro National Bank for
: % years. In 1897 ne was elected
vice-president of the Bank Of Ran
dolph at Asheboro, of which he is
the largest stockholder. Since then
he has with his associates estab-
lished banks at Mocksville. Troy,
Townsville, Graham, Madison. Rae
ford and Hillsboro. Not the least of
his contributions to these banks has
been a family of sons whom he
trained into his kind of banker,
friendly, conservatily progressive
and men of real force in the bust
ness life of their communities. E.
| M. Armfield, now dead, left a name
at High Point as having been a man
who did as much for his town as any
one man of his age in it, w. j. Arm
field, Jr., is cashier of the Bank of
Randolph and president of the Bank
of Montgomery at Troy. j. L. Arm
field is president of the Bank of
Thomasville.
The smaller banks are all indie
pendent, but they owe their exis-
tence to the useful and efficient or

their own trash, as often as possible.

WHAT CHIEF POTTER SAW
IN YOUR BACK YARDS

Fire Chief Potter told the city Of
Hattiesburg, through the City Fedora
ton Of Woman's Clubs yesterday aft
ernoon, . few things about back yards
Of the nun icipality which but few. If
any. other than police and fire Off
Gals, ever have occasion to see and
study.
And what he told them caused them
to- sit up and take notice. He told the
delegates at a well attended meeting
held in the rooms of the Commercial
Club. some things they never knew
about. His little talk, simple as 1t
was direct, and straight to the point,
has started the federation on a new
line Of work. 1t is sure to bear fruits,
too, as the delegates at the meeting
pledged themselves to get busy at
once and try to remedy conditions OF
which he spoke.
The women were earnest, too. They
represented the various woman's or.
ganizations of Hattiesburg, and they
are going to tell their respective or.
ganiEations Just what Chief Potter
said about certain of our rear yards,
kitchens. and the like.

fective way. Plainly embarrassed

utes to get his bearing. When he did
come back to earth, he made a good
talk. and was roundly applauded when
he had finished.
He began his informal address by
speaking of fire preventative methods.
He declared that q majority of the
fires In Hattiesburg, both in the resi-
Dental and business districts were
due more or less to carelessness, "a
woman will allow her kitchen range
to sit directly ON the floor" he con-
tinued, "and then wonders why a

SUPPORTS PLAN
FOR CITY NURSE
FEDERATION OF woMAN's CLUBS
ALSO ELECTS OFFICERS FOR
THE YEAR.

The proposition of employing for
Hattiesburg, community nurse, to
work independently of the proposed
charity hospitals for the city, is now
being considered by the hundreds of
women of Hattiesburg, following a
meeting of the City Federation Of Wo-
man s Clubs, held yesterday afternoon
in the rooms of the Commercial Club.
The proposition was discussed from
every standpoint. The delegates were
unwilling to officially commit them
selves on any proposition which would
make them responsible for its financial
support at any time. The community
nurse idea, however, was approved, and
when the scheme becomes more def
mite, the women are going out and
work for 1t. A joint committee, rep
resenting the various organizations of
the city. will meet next Thursday.
when the question again will be
taken up.
Mrs. ]. o. Rea suggested to the fed
Grafton that something be done toward
increasing the salary of the librarian
of the Philathea Library. The organ
ization's finances are low, it was ex-
planned. and for that reason no appro-
priation was voted.
Mrs. Henry Turner reported that
hundreds Of sanitary telephone mouth
pieces have been purchased by the
finance committee, and that three of
the city's clubs are selling them. The
proceeds from these will go into the
treasures Of the organizations.
On motion of Mrs. e. E. Conner,
chairman Of the civic Improvement
committee, the federation voted to CO.
operate with any housewives league
or similar organization which may be
established here.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows:
Mrs. J. 8. Conner, president; Mrs
E. e. Conner, vice-president; Mrs. ].
Morgan Stevens, secretary; Miss Leila
May Smith. assistant secretary; Miss
Betty Conner, treasurer; and Miss
