ROAD MASS MEETING.

AS the result of conference be-
tween committees from the Chamber
of Commerce, Merchants Association
and Rotary Club last evening, mass
meeting will be held Monday after
noon at 2 clock, January 26th in
the Court House, where the people of
both town and county will confer with
the County Commissioners on the
subject of the building of permanent
good roads and the repair of other
roads that lead into them, and serve
the people along them lines.
Mr.. G. T. Fulghum, president OF
the Merchants Association, was ask
ed to preside at the conference. The
point was made that unless Wilson
and Wilson county loked her lau-
rels and prtected her interests in
the matter of road building and the
proper care of roads, that much of
our trade as we'll as tobacco and
cotton, would leave us and be df-
Verted elsewhere. The point was
made that on a good road with a
u uCh lOOdCOy COlIOlI vi
produce to market, or an automobile
bringing people to trade, it mattered
very little provided the roads were
good, and with the feverish road
building going on in other quarters
of the state and Eastern North Caro-
lima, Wilson county must be up and
doing if she maintained her peputa>
tion as a progressive county.
There were present at the meeting
Mr.. Louis Tomlinson, president OF
the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Wal
ter Edgerton, president of the Rotary
: Club, Mr.. H. E. Barlow, secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, and
Messrs. F. M. Miller, C. P Clark, r.
A. burlington, w. J. Taylor, and
John D. Gold.
The mattep was discussed at
length and the meeting on Monday
afternoon the County Commission
ers have agreed to give audience to
the members of the three organiza-
tions and to tn people of the county
Tor the discussion of the most import
ant question before the county today
regarding its progress and prosper
ity.
Monday night at o'clock in the
Mayors Office the city fathers have
agreed to meet the members of
these organizations and citizens to
discuss ways and means to pave the
streets of the city connecting with the
macadam roads of the township.

THE PLEA OF MIR. BULLOCK

The letter of Mr.. James Dempsey
Bullock calling attention to the hon
or that is due our soldier boys, and
suggesting a tablet to honor them
memory, is well taken, and We feel
sure will appeal to all those who
appreciate their unselfish sacrifice,

conspicuous place where the names

DR.. Smith appreciates the fact
that learned and leading men are
seeking health work. This speaks
well of the calling and the interest
being manifested in the importance
of the work as affecting the health
and happiness of the people.
Col. Winston is yer yinteresting
talker of Germany, and the condi-
tions there. He says that notwith-
standing the decline in the value of
the mark which is now only two
cents, that wages are still low and
that working hours are much longer
than here and this means a greater
production and that Germany will
beat the other nations in the race
for commercial supremacy.
He says that Germany is produc-
ing and that when she does start
that she will supply the world with
goods.
The health Of the American SOL
diers is very good he declares.

Coming To Wilson

New York is usually rather conservative town, and
when it goes crazy innovation, it may pretty
generally be taken for granted that there something
worth seeing hearing in the fad. And New
York is wildly enthusiastic about the saxophone.
Every dining and cabaret orchestra is ntroduc-
ing the instrument, and is making it's way
gradually into the dgnifed, sedate, and "high-
brow" symphony orchestras.
There could hardly be better way to get acquainted
with all the beauties and possibilities of the saxophone
allround musical instrument than to hear it in
purely saxophone organization. Such an opportunity
is shortly to be given to the people of Wilson the
famous Columbia Saxophone Sextette is to appear at
the High School Auditorium January 80. The in
struments range from first tenor thru alto down to
bass and every part in orchestration usually
ried by wood-wind instruments, well as brass in
struments, be adequately carried by the different
varieties of saxophone. A Saxophone Sextette is a
thoroughgong novelty, and the Columbia Saxophone
Sextette, of the most wdelknown if not the
widely known, of such organizations, is outfit that
will help greatly to spread the popularity of the
city.

VIOLENT ASSAULT
 ON CLOSED SHOP

 Is Based on AmericaniSm
By Associated Press

Michigan City, Ind, December 30.- The open shop is founded on the prin- ciple of Americanism, established more than a century ago. while the closed shop is advocated by those who are the apostles of violence and force, in the opinion of John M Glenn secretary of the Illinois Manufacturers associa- tion, speaking here today before the Rotary club Elimination of labor bosses was declared to be one of the means of clearing the industrial stua- ton and the influence of public opn- ion, Mr. Glenn said, would be the rul- ing factor in final settlement of indus trial controversy,
 Two things have much 10 do with the present situation. One is whether Senator Harding vii aynoint man for Secretary Of Labor who carries q union card, and the other IS whether Congress will restrict immigration. The final action will have considerable to do with the success or failure of the shop movement. We do not believe a man who carries union card and claims to represent two million men will make as good a Secretary of La bor as d man who represents all the people of the country
 Congress is in q panic just now in reference to immigration. Do you know what would happen if Congress closed the gates for q year? MT. William Fl. Barr president of the inter racial coun- cil. says; Those of foreign birth and percentage represent only one-third of the people of the United States yet they mine threev vfourths of the coal, manufacture -fourths of the cloth ing. half of the silk, wool, linen, lase and embroidered goods; bake more than half the bread refine more than half the sugar and put up half of the canned food
