Situation At Wilmington Is
Interesting; Recall Movement
Promoted By Liquor Interests
The following cards have been -received
by Charlotte friends:
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Brown
announce the marriage of their
daughter
Mary Lois
to
Mr. Courtney Mitchell
Wednesday, the sixth of September
one thousand nine hundred and
eleven.
Winston-Salem,
North Carolina.
Miss Brown is one of North Caro
lina's best known and most popular
young ladies. She has visited Miss'
Nancy Brown, here, many times and
has a host of Charlotte friends who
will be interested in her announced
marriage.
The Twin-City Daily Sentinel o
Wednesday had the following account
of the marriage: Society was deeply
interested this morning in the wed
ding of one of the city's favorite
daughters, when Miss Mary Lois
Brown, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
IW. T. Brown, became the bride of
Mr. Courtney Mitchell, of Kinston,
N. C.
Simple dignity and quiet elogance
characterized the marriage, which
was solemnized at the bride's home.

Mrs. Mitchell has enjoyed
popularity throughout the State, as
well as in her home city, and it is a
source of regret to her large circle
of friends that her home will no lon
ger be here. The bride-groom is a
ca,me to Charlotte the first of the
year from Panama and during their
residence here have made many
warm friends who regret their de-f
parture. Mr. Dent eld an import

Mrs. A. B. Wingfield will return

been spending several weeks.
Mrs. H. E. C. Bryant and daugh

to join Mr. Bryant and spend a few

'fit was four degrees below freezing
in Calgary this morning," stated
Weather Observer O. O. Atto when the
local forecaster and dispenser of
Charlotte climate, rain and atmos
pheric conditions, was besought for
an opinion that would indicate some
thing cooler for Charlotte in the near
future,
"Would yon call this a cold wave

"Yes, I suppose so. It would cer
tainly pass for one here," replied Mr.
Atto.

Street thermometers' at noon to-day
showed temperatures all the way from
88 to 92 degrees, though this latter is
above the official reading. The day

"This is quite an interesting situa
tion at"Wilmington," remarked a
newspaper fnan this morning after
reading the special to the effect that
another petition for the recall of the
present administration of the Coast
City had been started. The speaker
had Recently returned from a visit to
Wilmington and having previously
been interested in the situation took
some pains to investigate.
"For the- first time in years, or
probably in the history of the city, a
systematic effort has been made this
summer to thoroughly cleanse the
city and put it in the best possible
sanitary condition. For the proper
prosecution of this work the city com
mission secured the services of Dr.
Charles T. Nesbft, am energetic and
progressive physician tjf unusual abil
ity, and Dr. Nesbit has directed the
sanitary work in the city in a master
ful manner. There are literally hun
dreds of surface closets in the city
and since sewer connections .cannot
be secured at once the commission,
upon the urgent recommendation of
Dr. Nesbit, ordered that a cheap and
effective sanitary closet be installed in
place of the old exposed closet.
"Now to go back. Wilmington is
now under the commission form of
government and when the new admin
istration was elected the old ' rings
which had ruled Wilmington for years
without end lost out. The ring is dom
inated by the liquor interests and city
contraetors and the decent people of
the city had become tired and dis
gusted at the state of affairs. They
rose up and ejected commissioners
who, against awful odds, have evi
dently been doing their very best to
give Wilmington a decent and respec
table and progressive administraiton.
The city court and police depart
ments are not yet beyond the influence
of the liquor interest for there are
about as many places in Wilmington
now where beer and liquor can be
purchased as there ever was. Tho
experience in Charlotte and other cit
ies has proven beyond any doubt that
a police department that does its duty
and a city court that is not without
conscience and regard for its duty
can together put an end to liquor seiU
ing and other flagrant forms of law
lessness. "Now to get the connection again:
The present movement for a recall
of the administration is the second of
its kind. A police hearing was given
by the council a few days ago for
the purpose of hearing the complaints
kitft those who protested against the
new sanitary closet. In every instance
the complaining ones had failed to
follow the verv simple instructions Salem College.
for the use of the closet and the re
sult was only what could have been
expected under such circumstances.

order for the sanitary closet and the
