some sort of celebration to strengthen

place of their meetings, according to
word from Arch T. Allen, of the State
organization. He said he was anti
cipating committee cooperation from
each district committee in staging the
rallies between March % and April e.
The district rallies were decided on
this year instead of one big gathering
in Raleigh, as heretofore.
Rallies have already been provided
for in the fourth, fifth, ninth, tenth
and eleventh districts of the State, ac-
cording to Mr. Allen. The rally in tho
fourth district, in which Henderson
and Vance county are located, will be
in Raleigh the night of Saturday.

very systematic manner throughout
the entire State and Chairman Cor
don Gray, Winston-Salem, of the gen
eral organization committee, is en-
thusiastic over the outlook. Eastern
Organizer Robert c. Wells, of Kenans-
vile, and Western Organizer Dilworth
Cooke, of Asheville, are cooperating
in making the 1888 roster of North
Carolina Young Democrats one of the
largest in the nation.

The legality of future business
moves by officials of West End Coun-
trv Club hinges on action of stock
holders at an adjourned meeting
Thursday, March "a, at the club house
an officer of that organization salo
today in a statement issued concern
ing the operation of the club.
: From Feb. 10, up until now, West
End Club has proceeded from the
lowest membership figure and flnan-
cial difficulties to the highest MEM
bership in it's history and top flnan-
cial condition, but action of the ma
iority of stockholders must be had to
ratify the present management or ap-
point a new legal management, ac-
cording to the statement. The future
of that organization depends on the
action of stockholders at their meet
ing, and all were urged to attend
either in person or by proxy.
The statement concerning the clubs
activities is as follows:
Only a few weeks ago the member
ship of the West End Country Club
was the smallest in the history of the
Club. The finances were in such
standing bills could not be paid for
there was no money in the treasury
and so-called members were constant
ly using the Club without paying
their dues. In short, the Club was
absolutely busted, no new members
were coming in and many resigning.
On February 10, 1888, about 25 loyal
club supporters got together and Sc
lected a new management. Today
the Club membership is the largest
in it's history. The finances are in
excellent shape, labor and all current
bills are promptly paid, and a stable
amount already paid on old debts,
leaving a sufficient amount of money
in the treasury to pay all current ex-
penses for the balance of the half
year.
The addition of new members and
dues now to be collected should about
wipe out all of the old indebtedness
and retire those bonds that are now
DUE
But it must be understood that
those 25 members to whom you are
indebted for the turn of events had
no legal authority to select new
management, and in order to have
their action made legal a majority of
the stockholders must meet and eth
err ratify the actions of these % MEM
hers or select a legal management in
order that the organization may func-
ton.
A meeting was called on March 10,
1888 and only 81 out of a possible 1876
shares of stock was represented eth
er in person or by proxy. Consequent
ly the meeting was adjourned to
March "a, 1885, Now there are a few
loyal supporters willing to do the job,
R,ut unless majority of the stock
holders attend this meeting on March
"a, 1888 at 800 o'clock, in the Club
