in the matter of maintaining cham

survived and are carrying on can look
back in a short while and find the ef-
fort we'll worth while 1t has not been
all peaches and Cream in Salisbury,
but this people have realized that a
functioning chamber of commerce is
just as essential as. the city govern
ment, the schools, or the maintenance
of the churches and other civic enter
prises. 1t is confidently believed that
the worst is over and that the com
ing months will see this central city
of the Piedmont Carolinas keeping step
with its sister communities and in the
very forefront of the vanguard of
progress.
Salisbury's renovated and enlarged
post office is a thing Of beauty and
a joy forever Stepping into the beau
tiful foyer and gazing about OIL The
up-to-date and attractive arrange
ments for the convenience of the pub
lie, this writer could not help feeling
a little bit proud that the organ;za-
ton he seeks to serve had something
to do in preventing great delay in Sc
curing the addition. The building is
indeed a credit to Salisbury. 1t would
be a credit to a city of a hundred
thousand people and who is it that
may say Salisbury will not enjoy such
a population in the years soon to come?

The conductor of this column
makes his to Governor Mat

in the last issue of The Carolina
Waterman. If there has been any &C
complishments during his tenure Of
office as executive secretary of the
Salisbury Chamber of Commerce, ex-
tending over a period of twenty-eight
months, it is all attributal to the fine
cooperation universally extended by
the directors of the organization, the
members, the people generally and the
office staff. Over an experience OF
more han a decade and a half and
serving trade bodies in some five COM
munities it can truly be said hat the
labors entailed upon him have never
been rendered in more congenial en-
vironment nor been received in more
genuinely cordial manner. Salisbury il

people will be satisfied with nothing
less than the best.

ROTARY CLUB
HOLDS TRIAL

Home talent" provided the pro-
gram at the last meeting OF the
Ell Centro Rotary club for 1882
when M. o. King was placed on
trial" yesterday for violating the
Rotary code of ethics in the con-
duct of his business.
The charges were preferred by
tBob" Mcnamara, who acted as
prosecutor, while the accused was
given a semi-defense by Attorney
Lyman P. Robertson, who permitted
him to plead not guilty by reason
of insanity.
Otto Bradshaw acted as judge
for the occasion. Defense witness
es who testified mainly for the
prosecution, were Howard P. Meyer,
r. P. Moore and John McNeece.
Court, attorneys, witnesses and the
accused, handled the truth with
gross familiarity, the prosecution
finally clinching its case with the
testimony of DR.. L. G. House that
the plea offered by the accused
was we'll taken, judging from his
professional observations.
A corrupt judge, jury, witnesses
and defense counsel offered
only one verdict, the accused being
found guilty, the court imposing a
81 fine which was turned into the
clubs s'kitty". The program was
thoroughly enjoyed by all the club
t,,en,berc tho acclIcpd getting more
"kick" out of it than his accuserS.
M. j. Dowd went up in the air. +,
to give his fellow Rotarians an in
teresting account of his recent
trip across the country by plane,
in which he sought to convert
other members of the club to this
mode of travel.
Jim Cox was presented to the
club as the "baby" member.

ARMY
AGAIN IN RED

PARIS, Dec. 80. UP)-The RED
pantaloons of the French soldier,
tragic reminder of the military
mistakes of 1870 and the early
months of the World war, have re-
turned to vogue.
The appearance of this resplen-
dent garment, on this occasion worn
by cadets at Saint Cyr, has pro-
voked deal of bewildered COM
ment and derisive observation in
Paris newspapers.
Is it an economy measure to
substitute the moth-eaten red pants
for the horizon blue garb which
has been the prescribed dress since
Charleroi in 1870 and the early
Marne battles?
Or is the sartorial change mere
ly Gallo idiosyncrasy on the
part of bored officials of the war
department.
The war department maintains a
policy of stole indifference to
newspaper comment, and only ven-
lures the cryptic suggestion that
it is not for the sodier, much less
the civilian, to reason why.
French writers, among them
Clement Vautel, regard any re-
turn to the blue-striped red trou-
sers and black, tight-fitting jack
cts with a degree of amused con-
Germ.

MOVE GROWING

ATLANTA, Ga. Dec 80 U.P)-
Despite a threat of increased ten
seness because of the economic
situation, which has caused whites
to demand replacement of Negro
laborers with unemployed whites,
the Central Council of the Asso-
citation of Southern Women for the
Prevention of Lynching has pro-
claimed "a lynchless south in 1888"
The "a women from IL states
which met in annual conference
here set that goal after receiving
an official report that only six Ne
groes were lynched so far this year
in the United States, only four of
these in the South, the lowest num-
ber for any equal period during
the so years in which records have
been complied.
More than 1000 women, repre-
senting 1900 towns and SIS coun-
ties, have enrolled in the associa-
tons movement to purge the South
of mob violence, Mrs. Jessie Daniel
Ames, executive director of the
organization, announced.
The 1882 10-months lynching
record was cited as particularly
remarkable in view of the fact
that 4,780 persons have been
lynched during the period since
recording of such violence began,
and that for 40 of those SO years
more than 100 victims met death
annually.

Il ACSS oN1AA W.
PARIS, Dec. 80. U.P)-The 'Kreu-
ger Folly" is for sale. An $4,000, ,000
franc general European headquar-
ters which workmen have just fin
ished in Paris and which was des-
tined to become Ivor Kreuger's own
home and the central offices of his
$500, 100000 enterprises.
For his headquarters, Kreuger
chose the most costly piece OF
ground in France, one corner of
the famed Place Vendome where
the morning sun cast long Shad-
ow of Napoleon over the Kreuger
doorway from the great bronze pill
lar atop which rests the Roman Ma
poleon in toga and laurel leaves.
This famed spot and the two
great buildings which close it in
from four sides, are French ma
tional property and the government
forbids tampering with the eXte-
rior of the buildings, classed as
national monuments. Kreuger,
however, had expensive ideas of
what his central offices should look
like. It cost him a fortune to re-
spect the law and yet to meet his
own tastes.
To meet the governments re-
uuirements, he left the street wall
standing and tore out the old build
ings from behind, then built on a
palace behind the old gray stones.
The beauty of the 18th century
architectural gem is unbroken.
Hard Bargainers Both Lose
There were several tenants in the
old buildings who had long leases
and refused to move. One, in par
ticular, asked 100000 francs (halI
a million dollars damages to give
I'D the site for the three years re-
naming under the lease. The price
was excessive so Kreuger refused.
He built his building around the
storeroom of the recaltitrant ten
ant at an extra cost of 100000
francs. Anxious to get his flat for
himself, Kreguer then started nego-
tiations. At a cost OF 8,0O0,0oO
francs he bought up the tenants
lease but Immediately sold the ten
ant 100000 francs of stock in
Kreuger and Toll interests, which
is worth little today.
Now the great palace is completed
but empty. There is no longer any
need of a general office building
and its construction was SO luxu-
rious that few tenants care to rent
it, The building cost 10000, 600
francs to build, but could be had
today for less than half that.

appeared the autograph of Presi-

MEXICAN WAR
PAPERS FOUND

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 80. UR =
Some old papers accidentally dis
covered in a secondhand book
store in Boston promise to throw
much light on the period during
which the United States and Mex
leo were at war.
The papers are known as the
Justin H. Smith papers. They were
bought by the discoverer, Michael
NJ Russell, retired book dealer OF
New Orleans, and have been do
mated to the Garcia Library of the
University of Texas.
There they are being arranged
for binding in permanent form.
The papers include entire cor
respondence of N. P. Trist, peace
commissioner, who negotiated the
Treaty of Guadalupe; notes on the
secret inquiry instituted to deter
mine if Gen. Winfield Scott had
used friends in an attempt to
bribe Gen. Santa Ana, and copies
of letters from the French, British
and Spanish archives concerning
Texas. There are also personal
memoirs throwing light on the
events of the time.
The 10000 pages of notes, man
uscripts, copies and other data
were collected by Smith over a
period of ten years when he was
gathering information for history
of the war between the United
States end Mexico.
