Secretary's Report.
Mr. C. C. McLean, the active and
efficient secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce, submitted a very in-teresting
report, from which the fol-lowing
extracts are taken:
"One of the first important mat-ters
considered by the board of di-rectors
was that of railroad freight
rates. Resolutions were adopted and
forwarded to our senators and con-gressmen
calling their attention to
the discrimination in freight rates
against Greensboro and other North
Carolina cities in favor of Virginia
cities, urging the correction of this
unjust handicap under which we are
laboring. Congress made some
changes giv'ng the interstate com-merce
commission certain rights In
regard to the long and short haul,
but what effect this new law will
have remains to be seen after being
put into operation. Give Greensboro
the aame (no better) freight rates
than the Virginia cities have and
Greensboro will make such rapid
strides along all lines that no one
will have cause to complain. We have
the geographical location, we have
the climate, and we have as good
people as ever lived. • • •
"On December the 12th the Cham-ber
of Commerce called a meeting of
the citizesn of Greensboro and Gull-ford
county for the purpose of organ-izing
a Guilford County Good Roads
Association, which assocation was
duly or^a-i zed, and gives promise
of much fut .re usefulness.
"We have made special efforto to
get our furniture factories re-open-ed.
One of the buildings of the
Greensboro Furniture Company is
now being operated, office devices be-ing
the line manufactured. Negotia-tions
are now in progress for the
sale of the Gate City plant to par-ties
who will begin operation Tight
away, if the deal is consummated.
"The Chamber of Commerce made
an effort to secure the erection of
one of the auxiliary plants of the
Southern Power Company, and It is
with no little degree of satisfaction
to every one that this mammoth
plant is now in course of construc-tion
within our city limits.
"Greensboro continues to te a fav-orite
convention city. It was honor-ed
with several large and influen-tial
conventions last year, and several
are now booked for the year 1911.
"Greensboro is now on a firmer
and more substant'al bass than ever

"The citizens of the county of;
Guilford who are opposed to the dis- j
memberment of the county and the
formation of a new county out of por-tions
thereof, are called to meet In
the court house in Greensboro on Sat-urday,
January 28, 1911, at 12 o'clock
noon for the purpose of taking such
action as they may deem best to pre-vent
any division of old Guilford.
"Do not rely upon your neighbor or
others, but attend this meeting, as it
is of great importance to the people
of the county.

Sealer,. John N. Wilson, E. J. Jus-tice,
E. P. Wharton, E. G. Sherrlll,

Gordon, Committee."
At this meeting it will be decided
what action shall be taken with ref-erence
to sedning a strong commit-tee
of citizens to Raleigh to oppose
the measure providing for Piedmont
county, which has been introduced in
the legis'a«ure. The committee feels
that it is time that some definite
and unequivocal action be taken by
the people of Greensboro and Guilford
county, and that the decided opposi-tion
to the new county be conveyed
to the legislature, otherwise the si-lence
that has been maintained may
be construed as consent upon the part
of the county and Its citizenship to
the formation of the new county.
BIG SAVING FOR THE COUNTY.
Gordon Salary Acts Resulted in Sav-ing
of Over $10,000 Last Year.
The Gordon act placing the county
officers of Guilford on salaries. In-stead
of the antiquated fee system,
saved $10,395.11 to the county last
year. Of this amount the school fund
gets $2,419.34 and the road fund $7,-
975.77. Since the establishment 08 re
corders' courts- in Greensboro and
High Point, the office of clerk of the
court does not quite pay for itself,
but the saving in Jail expenses
more than compensates for this.
Following is a statement showing
the saving effected by the act as
compiled by the county anditor:

"The ma'tef of an uptown ticket

their making arrangements by which
the ticket office at the depot is now
kept open all day. which I think is
entirely satisfactory to the public.

took the matter up with the Inter-state

NEW BANK PRESIDENT.
A. B. Bray Gees to Head of Stokes-dale
Commercial Bank.
The annual meeting of the stock-holders
of the Stokesdale Commercial
Bank was held at Stokesdale Tues-day,
at which time very satisfactory
reports of the past year's business
were submitted by the officers. The
showing was so gratifying that it
was resolved to double the capital
stock.
Mr. A. B. Bray, formerly a resi-dent
of Greensboro, but who has
been engaged in the tobacco business
at Statesville for the past ten years,
bought a considerable interrest in the
bank and was elected president to
succeed his brother, Mr. C. A. Bray,
who will devote his entire attention
to the Home Savings Bank of Greens-boro.
The new president of the
bank will prove a valuable acquisition
to the business interests of the thriv-ing
town of Stokesdale. Mr. S. B.
Denny, who has been* cashier of the
i bank since its establishment, was
re-elected, as a matter of course.
The stockholders elected the follow-ing
directors: P. H. Simpson. Dr.
C. W. Taylor. W. M. Vaughn. D. P.

GLILFORD SUPERIOR COURT.
On*/ a Few Cases Disposed of During
Prtscnt Week.
Only threee cases have been tried
in Guilford Superior court so far
this week. There are a number of
cases an the trial calendar, but not
over two or three others can be
reached. Some three or four addi-tional
cases have been disposed of
by compromise Judgments.
In the case of J. W. Anderson vs.
American Suburban Corporation the
jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff
for the amount asked for, $700. An-derson
was an officer of the company
when it maintained ofices here, sell-ing
lots at Piedmont Heights, and he
sued for an amount of money he had
paid out of his own pocket to Dr.
Z. T. Brooks to make good some
promises the company had made in
advertisement. The defendant ap-pealed.
The case o' Harriet Sharpe vs. the
Southern Railway Company was
taken up Tuesday afternoon and has
consumed the time of the court
since then. The pla'ntlff is suing
for $2,000 damagse for being pushed
from a train she was about to board
at Lynchburg, Va. Employes cf the
road say they did not permit her to
board the train for the reason that
the train was moving and it would
have been dangerous for her to have
boarded it. She was en. route from
Roanoke, Va.. to Reidsville. She had
