Important actiou relative to the pro-posed
centennial celebration and re-union
of former citizens of Guilford or
their decendants in 1908 was taken at
the mass meeting held in the opera

only were the plane recently suggested
by the general committee approved,
but a board of managers was chosen,
the date was virtually fixed aud steps
were token to secure enough money to
insure the success of the afiair on a
scale commensurate with its import-ance.
Following a couple of delightful
numbers by the Ladies' Quartette and
an appropriate recitatiou by Mrs. B. C.
Sharpe, Mr. C. M. Vanstory, chair-man
of the general committee, called
the assembly to order and aunounced
that the first business of the evening
would be the selection of a permanent
chairman. Upon motion Mr. Vanstory
was chosen chairman of the meetiug,

First, to decide whether or not to hold

Mr. Wysong that while the mat-ter

by bis company the possible
changes would affect only a few crews
in North Carolina. It ie not until

agemeut of the celebration beentrusttd
to a board of governors, and suggested
certain features that will tend to make
the event one of more than passing
note. A motion made by Mr. A. B.
Kimball prevailed aud the eutire re-port,
with the exception of tbe date
fixed, was approved. The board of
governors recommended aud endorsed
is composed of Messrs. G. 8. Bradshaw,
B. D. Douglas, L. J. Brandt, C. D.
Benbow, Ceasar Cone, W. S.Thomson,
A. M. Scales, J. I. Foust aud T. A.
Hunter.
Dr. W. P. Beall moved that the
selection of a date for tbe celebration
be left to the board of governors, and
that they be requested to fix the same
betweeu September 23 aud October 15
of next year, so it would harmonize
rather than conflict with the fairdates.
Several speeches were made in support
of this amendment, Col. J. T. More-head
clinching the arguments with
some of the droll humor for which he
is noted. Only one.geutleman, Mr. J.
8. Michaux, favored a date earlier in
the year, and he did so iu order to pre-serve
historal accuracy. Dr. Beall's
motion was unanimously approved
when it came to a vote.
Not the least important feature of
the celebration, that of raising lunds,
was considered last. While the meet-ing
agreed that the board of governor
should have this matter in charge,
Judge Boyd offeied a motion that met
with unanimous approval, viz.; that
the city be requested to contribu'e
$1,000 toward the celebration, after tbe
remaining |9,000 bad been secured.
Mayor Brandt moved that the county
commissioners be requested to contri-bute
a like sum. This motion was also
carried without dissent, and the meet-iug
adjourned.

Greensbero Alumni Association Will
Hold Big Banquet—bate Changed From
October 12 to luesday, October 22.
It was officially announced Saturday
by the president of the Greensboro
Alumni Association of the University
of North Carolina, Dr. J. E. Brooks,
that the date for the celebration of
University day which is October 12,
has been changed for this year and
will be held on Tuesday, October 22.
University Day is celebrated all over
the state and other states where there
is an alumni association on October 12,
but tbe change of tbe date for the cele-bration
here iu Greensboro was made
necessary by the fact that this date
falls ou Saturday and immediately
preceding the Central Carolina Fair at
this place.
For a number of years it has been
customary for the Greensboro Alumni
Association to celebrate the birth of
their Alma Mater by holding a big
bauq jet in oue of the hotels of the city
at which a number of the distinguished
alumni in tbe association are called
upon to respond to toasts. That same
custom will M in forje here again this
year and preparations are being made
for the grandest bauquet in thejiistory
of the Greensboro association. It baa
uot yet been determined where the
banquet will be held but it will be In
the dining room of oue of the hotels of
the city. A committee of three com-posed
of Dr. J E. Brooks, Prof. W. H.
r3»ift, aud E. D. Broadhurst have the
matter iu charge aud already are be-ginning
to select speakers for the occa-sion.
Dr. Hubert Ashley Koyeter, dean
of the Medical School of the University,
at Iialeigh, has accepted an invitation
to be present and address tbe associa-tion
on the occasion. At a later date a
full program of the speeches cf the
eveuing will be printed and the name
of the toastmaster will be given.
The president, Dr. Brooke, requests
that all the alumui and former stu-dents
of the University, whether grad-uates
or uot, notify at ouce the secre-tary
of the association, Prof. W. H.
8wift, whether or not they will attend
so some estimate can be made as to
how many plates to prepare. Those
who atteud and can find it possible to
do so are requested to bring a lady
with them.
The Greensboro Alumui Association
is oue of the largest and most active
associations in the state and is a valu-able
instrument in keeping the Greens-boro
Alumui iu touch with their Alma
Mater. The association, which num-bers
nearly a hundred, has also been
ustruuieutal iu belpiug the Univer-sity
in more ways than one. For some
years it gave each year a scholarship to
some deserving boy in Greensboro or
Guilford county, and was only with-drawn
last year to give the money to
the Mclver Memorial fund.
Extensive preparations are also being
made at the University for a celebra-tion
on October 12. The occasiou will
be a home-coming of the alumni who
will make speeches, and greetings will
be read from most of the alumui asso-ciations.
The day will be observed as
a holiday in all branches of the Uni-versity
and the students will march in
a body to Memorial Hall where the
exercises will be held. St. Clair
McKelway, editor of tbe Brooklyn
Eagle, of Brooklyn, X. Y., will be the
speaker of the occasion at Chapel Hill.

Favorable Prospects for Base Ball Leag-ue.
Mr. E. C. Landgraft, of New York,
who is in the state promoting tbe or-ganization
of a minor base ball league
embracing teams representing Wins-ton-
Salem, Salisbury, Charlotte, Dur-ham,
Baleigh and Greensboro, has
called a meeting here for next Thurs-day,
tbe 10th, of repreeeutatives of tbe
teams indicated for the purpose of con-sidering
several preliminary matters
in connection with tbe proposed lea-gue.
Local organizations iu each of
the cities named have •iguilied their
iutentiou of backing their respective
teams, and apparently all tuat remains
is to organize the league aud adopt
rules for its management.
One of the most important matters
te be considered at the meeting is the
application of various South Carolina
cities for representation in the league.
Iu case an eight-team league Is
formed two of the cities in our sister
state can be accommodated. Most
everyoue here is Inclined to the belief
that the league would be strengthened
by allowing the South Carolina teams
to enter.
So confident is Mr. Landgraft of the
success of the [inject that be is already
signing players fur tbe Greensboro
team, which he will manage with a
determination to land the penuani.
