Next Fine Showing of a charlotte Building and Loan Association. The following article was taken from one of the Charlotte papers, and shows the mighty potentialities of building and loan associations. These Institutions have done more for Char lotte than any other enterprise with in her environment, and what they have accomplished in Charlotte may he accomplished In Gaffney If the people would only realize their Im portance. The article is as follows: Next Tuesday the Mechanics’ Per petual Ihiil(lln K and lioan Association of Charlotte will pay to Its sharehold ers the sum of $78,000. more than half of which Is due on the maturity of the 08th series. This series will mature next Saturday and the officers of the association Intend to have ev erything in shape so that they can make their payments to sharehold ers by the following Tuesday. The exact distribution is as follows: Ma tured shares, $45,000; cancellation of mortgages, $33,000; making the total of $78,000. Altogether creditable is the show ing made by this association in the amount of loans negotiated during the past four months. Despite the fact that every avenue for borrowing money was practically closed on ac count of the financial stringency, this association loaned a total of $123,000 within that period. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the organization of this institution will he celebrated in March. During Its history it has come to be recognized as one of the leading building and loan associations in the country. The fifty-first series will begin with this association March 7th, books for which will be opened Monday, Feb ruary 7th.

She wants to go out; he wants to stay in. A con venient cousin of the husband has come to act as escort to the wife and ^Jn time they believe they are in love. Cypreienne, the wife, being played by Miss Florence Davis this season, makes up her mind a divorce is the only reasonable solution of the prob lem that confronts her. The chamber of deputies has under advisement a new law governing divorce. The. lover thinks to play a trick on her and get her to his lodgings and to that end he forges a telegram an nouncing that the bill has passed. The telegram falls into the hands of the husband, played by Elliott Dexter, and he decides on a bold move to re tain his wife. He spreads the false report and pretends to Cypreienne that nothing in years has pleased him more than the prospect of release from his matrimonial bond. When she learns that nothing sep arates her from her lover, Cypreien- ne’s love for him begins immediately to cool. Her husband’s attitude piques her and she begs him to take her with him to supper. He finally consents j&nd she breaks an engage ment with the lover. The supper shows Cyprienne where her affect ions are really placed and when the lover traces he r to the cafe she eludes him and elopes with her husband. Miss Davis with Elliott Dexter will appear for one night at the Star Thea tre next Friday night. Contestants will apply at the Home Office at once for information that will be to their advantage.
