M COME HERE
FOR com
Prohibition Won’t Affect
Their Choice of Meeting
Place.
The Concatenated Order of Hoo
Kooi, numbering In the neighborhood
of nearly 20,000 of the most prominent
lumber and supply men In the United
States, will be Invited to hold Its annual
convention In the city* of Atlanta In
September, 1908.
This action was decided upon Thurs.
day at 12 o'clock, when a number of re.
sponsible lumbermen of the state,
meeting In the ofllce of the Chamber
of Commerce In the Empire building,
pledged their support to Chairman Mar.
tin F. Amorous In his efforts to secure
the convention for Atlanta and to raise
the funds necessary to furnish suitable
entertainment.
The meeting was attended by the
following well-known gentlemen: Cas
sius F. Smith, president of the Ocmul-
gee River Lumber Company; Martin F.
Amorous, Albert Haas, of the Haas
Lumber Company; W. R. Jennlson, of
the Southern Engineering Company; J.
F. Welsslnger, secretary of the Arlpe-
ker saw mills; E. M. Willingham, of
the Willingham Lumber Company; W.
B. Dlsbro, of the Woodward Lumber
Company; W. S. Wilson, of the Wilson
Lumber Company; Frank O. Lake, R.
E. Plowden, of the Oriflln-Plowden
Lumber Company: P. O. Hanahan, of
the Carolina Portland Cement Com-
pony: Attorney Lee Jordan, represent
ing the Hotel Men's Association, and
Walter Q. Cooper, "secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Want Appropriation.
Martin F. Amorous was elected chair,
man of the meeting, and W. O. Cooper
was elected secretary.
The following committee was ap
pointed to confer with council In the
effort to securo an appropriation for
of the convention:
the entertainment
F. O. Lake, E. M. Willingham and W,
B. Dlsbro.
It Is proposed to raise 23,500 for the
entertainment of the convention, and
the committee was also instructed to
request the mayor and city council and
Governor Smith to JtVn In Inviting the
Hoo-Hoos to hold their next convention
In this city.
It was the Unanimous opinion of
those present that the money can be
raised, and It Is believed that the con-
ventlon can be secured.
"It Is up to Atlanta now to entertain
any convention that may come here."
said W. B. Dlsbro. "It has been said
that when the state goes dry no con
vention will come here. It Is time for
the city to prove that this is not true."
Don't Want 8aloons.
“I have attended three conventions,”
said C. F. Smith, “and I have yet to
hear the qusstlon raised of whether
a town Is wet or dry, or how long they
can stay up at night carousing. The
Hoo-Hoos are not a set of drunkards.
They are responsible business men, and
nearly all of them are men of means.
And when one of these men gets away
from home he wants to go to church
and wrlte-hls wife the text of the ser
uion." .. . .
A number of the gentlemen present
expect to attend the convention 'of
Hoo-Hoos at Atlantic City on Septem
ber 9, and when .Mr. Amorous extends
his Invitation to the convention to meet
next year .In Atlanta, he will have
strong support from Georgia and ad
joining states.

BOYS GOT WATCH
FROM A “DRUNK”
Detectives Lockhsrdt and Roberta
have an unusually valuable gold watch
for which they are seeking an owner.
They recovered It from three lf-year-
old boys. George Shannon, Charles
Sauer and Elmer Watkins, who admit
ted that they had robbed a drunken
man who was lying In a transfer wag
on near the Terminal station, and had
secured the watch and 85 cents, all the
money the min had. Owing*to the
value of the timepiece, which probably
cost 8200, and the fact that no one has
reported Its loss, the detectives think
that perhaps It did not belong to the
man the boys robbed, but was stolen In
some other city and brought here to be
ilsposed of.

TAKES MR, PLANT
TO I
The Comptroller Has Own
Way in Which to
Answer. ~
Washington, D. C_ Aug. 29.—There
Is every Indication thnt hearings In the
North Carolina roto case will be con
tinued through a part of next week. A.
H. Plant, comptroller for tho Southern,
who has been on tho stand several
days, will probably complete hls testi
mony on Monday. Other Southern rail
way representative,, as well as those
of other railroad Interests, will bo
called to tho stand.
The morning session today was de
voted to tho continuance of the cross-
examination. Mr. Justice took the wit
ness this morning and endeavored re
peatedly to get further nnd detailed
information from him as to the meth
ods of tho auditor's ofllce In nvernglng
and apportioning the earnings of tho
. .A* one t,m * Mr - I’lnnt declared
that the figures showed a certain
amount for a certain section, but that
was In excess of tho real earnings. .Mr.
Justice reminded tho comptroller that
he had on three occasions rnnile such
a statement, and that an accurate es
timate from him was desired.
"Any statement from me." said Mr.
Plant, 'that any line earns so much
per train mile, per road mile, or gross,
without calling attention to 'the fact
that freight revenues are abnormally
high, would be unfair."
Mr. Justice asked MjS, Plant If he
knew that on account of a wreck on
the Asheboro road, alleged to have been
due to rotten ties, an unusual expen
diture for crossties In 1908 hod been
necessitated, and that by comparison
with the books of 1904 and 1905 he
found last year the outlay for this was
K ater than the two preceding. Mr.
nt replied that he remembered the
road having paid out certain sums for
personal Injuries in the past year, but
could not recall that an extra expendi
ture had been made In the purchase of
crossties.
Mr. Plant gave as the total of pus-
Hengcrearnlngs on tho Asheboro rond
for 1906, 829,288.10, He stated that the
operating expenses per train mile on
the Asheboro road were 81.26, and when
asked the difference between the gross
earnings per train mile and operating
expenses per train mile, testified that It
wna 93 cents.
In attempting to answer a question
from Mr. Justice In hls own way, with
some qualifications, Mr. Plant was
taken sharply to task by the cross-
examiner, .but replied that he proposed
to answer the question ns he saw fit.
