LAUDS ACHIEVEMENTS OF ADMINISTRATION Told How Terrible Wars Have Been Averted andf the Present Prosperity Wave. Hon. T. W. Bickett, who will be the next Governor, of North Carolina, fired the 'first gun of the present Demo cratic campaign in Wilmington, Wed nesday night at the Academy of Music before a large audience, when he de livered a powerful and pleasing ad dress in which he reviewed the past three and one-half years of Democratic administration under President Wilson in the most glowing terms and took the opportunity to speak of the weak- ness that the opposing party has thus far shown. Often quoting Scripture to draw lines of -comparison and using many humor ous instances,', the speaker, in his ad dress that lasted nearly two hours, made an excellent impression upon the representative gathering. Strong em phasis was given the fact that the United States has thus far averted war only because of the wise policy of President Wilson and that the pros perity which is now sweeping the coun try is due to the legislation of the Democratic Congress. The meeting was called to order by Thos. E. Coopar, chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of New Hanover" 'county, who presided. He explained that in launching the campaign here the goal being worked for is a 3,000 majority in November which will give this county 27 votes at the State convention instead of 14. C. C. Cashwell, Esq., secretary oi the county executive committee, who was introduced by Mr. Cooper, out lined the plans of the committee and called upon every Democratic citizen to exercise his right of suffrage in the coming election. In introducing Governor Bickett, L. Clayton Grant; Esq., Democratic nomi nee for the State Legislature from this county, with well chosen words refer red to him as being one of the most powerful and pleasing speakers in the South today. i Mr. Bickett left the city this morn ing for Burgaw where at 11 o'clock he delivered an address to the people of Pender county. A feature of the oc casion was a real country-style barbe cue served on the lawn of the Couri House wnere tne aaaress was maae u a tremendous gathering. In his address here Wednesday nighl Governor-Elect Bickett spoke of Presi dent Wilson as a man who believe not kill" applies to a nation as well as a man and he explained that the rea son that there were not now thousands of young Americans in sepulchers in France and Mexico was because of the of mighty war and wnere mere are millions of mothers who are weeping because their sons are not, and the United States where peace prevails and which is only due to Teacher- President's policies. . Mr. Hughes, said the speaker, had concentrated on Wilson's foreign pol icy. He intimated that President Wil son should have recognized Huerta In the first place, but Mr. uicKeusnowea how when Huerta and Madero started a revolution in Mexico to rplifivft the neoDle who had been ground to the earth Huerto slayed Ma dero with the rankest cruelty and seized the reigns of the government.

Jones on the night of August 31, was called suffer during the coming winter, aa.tillery Company; which has been sta ,ln the Recorder's -court - Thursday It wa8 stated by Mr Daniel H. Pen-! tioned at Fort Caswell for many years, morning and after hearing all the evidence Recorder Empie stated that he would wait until Friday morning to render a verdict. According to the testimony of Messrs. A. L. Jones and David Stubb3 they saw a suspicious-looking charac ter that was prowling around in the extreme southern end of the city. His actions were such that Jones, who was on his way home, took him for a highwayman. Jones testified that as he started home this man, who was disguised, without warning threw a pistol in his farp anrl naVpH him whoro Viic hnat I was. Upon replying that he had no boat he marched Jones up Front street street with a pistol painted at his side. Jones called to Stubbs for help and Stubbs came up. He and Stubbs both testified that the myste rious party drew another gun and covered them both. Both testified' that they did not recognize him at first and it was not until he spoke that one of them did. Upon being recognized Kennedy put up his guns. Kennedy testified that he was out looking for a band that had been in the habit of bringing- in spirituous liquor that is locally known as "Mon key Rum," and when Jones advanced he pulled a gun -on him. Both wit nesses stated that at no time did Kennedy tell them that he was an of ficer and further stated that he did not reply when asked if he was one or not. Recorder Empie stated that he was not sure whether, taking all things into consideration, the case was one ot assault or not, and consequently would wait and give his decision Fri day. T E Nol Pros Granted Man Ar rested When About to Leave with Laborers. When the case of the State against W. C. Perkins charged with violating a city tax ordinance was called Thurs day morning in the Recorder's court the State took a nol pross with leave. Perkins was arrested some weeks ago , when he started North with a number of laborers that he had pro cured in Wilmington. At that time he gave bond for his appearance at court. After a conference between Solicitor George L. Peschau and City Attorney Robert Ruark it was decided to take a nol pross with leave. The defendant was arrested by the chief of police for the non payment of the $100 license tax that was recently passed as an ordinance by the city of Wilmington I on persons coming here for the pur pose of hiring or taking away labor already engaged or under contract. It has been known for some time that Solicitor Peschau had grave doubts as to the constitutionality o! the ordinance as drawn and the case has been ' continued on several oc casions that he might more fully con fer with the City Attorney on the sub ject. The ordinance as drawn requires from persons who take away labor while and during their employ under contract with local concerns. The State law, however, make it misdemeanor for any person to entice, persuade, procure, or induce any ser vant under contract to leave their em ployer during the term of the contract. The ordinance therefore apparently re quires a license to engage in a busi that is made a misdemeanor by the State law. It is understood that Perkins is not m(iicted for enticing labor under con - tract because it appeared that he had taken away no labor either employed at the time or under contract. The Question as to the criminal responsi- jbillty Gf the person indicted for en- ticing labor away from the city was not involved. The authorities, it is understood, will continue their, vigilance in the bring ing to justice of all people who come j here for the purpose of interfering , with contract or at the time employed labor. - Bickett is the establishment of the Federal Reserve System, which was characterized by the speaker as being the greatest piec.e of legislation made in the last half-century. He showed deplorable condition the old wnai a ucyiuiauic.uu. . . , currency system was m au uuw " laroiuj - iuc viuaii6o mc yuuuu; 10 i a higH wave of prosperity in steaa or In the mlro of a r-mmtrv ' wide, panic Kt- Htf Bickett v: that formerly -the panics were controlled, by ' . . . , , ,uihuiiuv ; , v. m1,lf1.mlHnf1irQa In Wall otrttot DID NO SUSTAIN CHARG C 0 AL S U PPLY S THEY SABELA BA CK Wilmington Not Likely to Suffer by Reason of Short ' age of Cars and Ships.

The company embarked for the that efforts were now being made to I fort on the steamer Wilmington this place orders that would insure the'mornIng' . " c amount necessary for the remaining cold months. However, this does not mean that there is an abundance of coal in Wil mington at this time, but that the stock is fairly well supplied and that no trouble is anticipated other than' delays due to the shortage of cars to haul the coal from the mines aDd the continued high cost of shin tonnage which prohibits getting coal here by water. Usually there is carried in Wilming ton a stock of coal nearly sufficient to supply the ordinary demand of a winter, but on account of the fact that the vessels that formerly brought the cargoes from the Pennsylvania ports during the summer are now ply ing in South American waters and in some instances foreign trade at re cord breaking tonnage prices, practi cally none has been received here this summer by water and railroad trans portation is the only method of de livery available. ' The railroads are now entering the winter seasoon with a shortage of more than 27,000 cars, more than 60 per cent, greater shortage than the worse shortage which, was in 1907 when the railroads were 10,000 cars .short. Too, the coal mines are some what crippled because they cannot get the labor necessary to supply the normal demand. The best grades of coal are in great demand by the al lied warring nations and great quan tities are being exported to Europe. But in spite of all these conditions Wilmington is not likely to suffer to any extent. At present the price of coal per ton here is considerably less than in many cities. Charleston, C. C. for instance, is selling a grade koftcotriow bringing". $8X0' per ton ii ere, lur 99. ou aim me liueriui giauu at correspondingly high prices. It has been intimated that the prices may get, higher during the rmonths of January, February and March when the consumption is greatest and the demand for cars to haul the coal from the -mines to the cities are also taxed to the utmost. - It has been stated that the wise thing for the consumer to do is to fill his coal bins at the present price, which is low, in order to be on the safe side and also to allow the dealer to have room to place the amount necessary for the late winter supply that may be had more easily at the present time. PLAYGROUND REPORT. Numbers of Children and Visitor Have Visited Grounds. The report of the supervisor of the Robert Strange Playground for th month of July and August shows that an exceptional" interest has been taken in the grounds both by the children and the older people. According to his report the playground has been open for 53 days with a total atten dance of 9,067 making the daily aver age 172. - Twenty-three personal interviews were held with boys in regard to character building.
