City Editor of the DIspitch Rejoices
' (n Handsome New.Machlne.
v At the garage of .the Wilmington
Auto Repair Co., No. 7 i North . Third

the canny Scot in charge, was showing
to the automobile public a very: hand
some,, 4Q-horse power Moon car, one
of the latest and most. up-to-date ma
chines that now grace .the fine maca
dam roads of New Hanover. It is en
tirely .unnecessary to say that the car
ta for Mr. Louis T. Moore, city editor
of he Dispatch,, and that in future
when the "Moon" looms Upon the hori
zon, all other vehicles, motor driven,
mule propelled, or common ordinary
pedestrians who propel- themselves,
had as well take to the .woods. ,
v But in all seriousness, the new Moon
car is one of the handsomest that has
pome Wilmington's way in a long
time, the Wilmington Auto Repair Co.,
having only recently secured the agen
cy for all lines of thls'machine.: The
car is easily the aristocrat of its class
and attracted much admiration on the
streets yesterday. It has the famous
T. head motor, 4 1-2 by 5 inch stroke,
and the body is of the torpedo type,
four-passenger capacity, handsomely
finished In battleship grajrand brown
leather upholstering.
At the riskr of his life, limb and fu
ture happiness, a representative of
the Star was permitted to enjoy the
luxury of the-new car for a brief driTe
yesterday afternoon. It .clipped them
off at 60 miles an .hour or slowed
down to three miles in the congestion
of traffic. It Is a splendid. machine
and will be a "thing of beauty and a
Joy forever" to Its generous wner and
all who may be fortunate enough to
be numbered among the circle of his
friends. , . v . . '

In another column of The Star this
morning will be found a dispatch from
the 'Raleigh correspondent to. the ef
fect that McKenzle ' has appealed to
the - State -officials for aid in recover
ing this property. . "'
'- McKenzie, a 'tall, slender negro of
perhaps a shade more Chan the aver

the matter very fully to a Star repre
sentative last night The property
which he alleges belongs to him and
his ' relatives - begins at a point on the

street, runs north, up the 'river to a
point some distance north of the Sea
board tracks, thence east a short dis
tance, thence south to Market street
.and west down Market street 150 poles
to the point of .beginning.
' His story ;,goea back-to the Colonial
days and according to his.,- statement
the property is far back as "he has;
been able td trace, IV was first owned
by Mr. Marsden Campbell, -of Naw
Hanover county.-On tba death of Mr.
Campbell itwe!ltto his Jieirs, Jas. G.
Campbell. Marsoen. Campbell, Jr.,
Hugh Y. Waddell and wife, John Mars
den Waddell . and William. Campbell.
It was finally acquired by the last
named, William Campbell, who" before
his death Jeft this State for Louisiana:
On leaving the State Mr., Campbell
desired to. leave his property to Moses
Davis, a slave, but es the laws of
North Carolina prohibited a slave from
holding property he was forced to
leave it in the hands of a-number of
trustees . to hold for MoSes ' Davis.
These trustees were Messrs. T. C
Miller, Fred D. Lord, Thos. D. Meares.
William A.: Wright Joshua Wright
and the town of Wilmington, in the
county of New Hanover. At that time
the town of Wilmington did not cover
any of the property owned by Mr.
Campbell. - ,
On the death of Moses Davis, Mc
Kinzie claims, the property" went to
his daughter, Lucy Davis, who married
a negro named McKinzfe. She soon
left McKinzie, however, but not until
after she had borne him children. Her
first child was Fred McKinzie, or Fred
Davis. He was the father of a second
Fred Davis, who in turn had a son
named Fred Davis, or Fred McKenzie.

says there is ' a certified copy in the
city. He also has several . other 'legal
papers bearing on the matter.
He expects that tte Governor will
ook into the matter for him and is
waiting to hear from the State offi

points that he must yet trace out and

llORTH GAROLIIIA . SOROSIS
The ; Literature Department f the
North Carolina porosis .beld their first
meeting, ote ;se,asQn.At the home ,of
thg chairman,' on Thi8day, afternoon
November. 9th., Ih'answering. to name
called, each member - gave the name
est a Greek .god or goddess. x ;- - 1 ' "
wk The attendance "was very large and
enthusiastic, the subject of study for
tbe afternoon being Mythology.
I The meeting was opejied by the
chairman with a discussion of myths,
legends And fableS, and several illus
trations; of pur, jwn myths of the ,In
dian tribes as to the creation of the
earth, and 4alsd' a ' talk 6nJtfie subject
of the: use of the Greek -and ' Roman
names for the gods. antf; goddesses, ; ,
' ; First on the programme was a. myth
ogiclal story of the creatiop and origin
of-man, which was given by Mrsl'M.
H. P. Clark in a lucid and ieomprehen
siye manner. Her, talk embraced crea
tion ' time, religion, rotation, earth,
heaven, man,- animals, love center.
hatred, earth beautiful, formation of
rexes-and sovereignty of Jupiter or
Zeius. -. r " :
: Many myths were' told -by different
members, -among which were the
Tjwelve Tasks of Hercules, -Story of
n.ndymion, short sketch of Nemesis,
showing how Nemesis wrought ven
geanco on. all evjl doers; Story of
Daphne, how she was turned into ' a
laurel tree to keep Apollo, the sun
god, from moving her. Apollo-then
made the laurel, the emblem of honor
and.' triumph. Miss Elizabeth Prico
recited '.'The -King Admetus"- by Lo
we". - -....
An essay oa the Debt of Our Poets
to Mythology; was : a paper, showing
mucn taought -and research -.and' was
greatly enjoyed, by all present, prov
Ing that the Greek Myths have been
used by our bards and poets from: all
time. Milton s Paradise Lost j would
be meaningless to any one not familiar
with, the Greek myths: Homer, Long
fellow and Tennyson - all sang . pf the
glory of the gods, and goddesses. -
: Owing to sickness of members, part
or tne programme was omitted, so the
meeting adjourned. Every , one hav
ing enjoyed a delightful evening, be
ing enthusiastic over the work covered
bylthe chairman. " ..
r The Art Department of Sorosls met
at the home of the chairman. Miss
Rath Faison Shaw, Friday, 10th Inst
This department was re-organized and
the work planned for the Winter. Mrs,
W. T. Bannerman' was 'elected 'secre
tary.' The. meetings are to- b held
on' the second Friday of each month
at the home of the chairman, the sub
ject of study being Greek art.
The Health Committee of ' Sorosis
desires to express its gratification at
the good beginning which has been
made in the-campaign towards thor
ough and regular medical inspection
of tbe public schools. The committee
has, within the past month, held Sev
eral interesting conferences with Dr.
Nesbitt, superintendent of health, and
it "Is hoped that his recent clear and
comprehensive recommendation to the
Cfity Council on this important sub
ject may lead to great results. -
, Sorosis hopes that all parents and
friends will encourage and. aid this re
vival of interest in. the children'. "'
. The stupid boy is usually the boy
with adenoids or whose ' head aches
constantly from pool eyes; but
He doesn't know it. ..So when his re
port shows that he has failed to pass,
he has no excuse to offer.
; ; The 'inattentive girl probably does
not bear the teacher well; But, . ,
She does not know it. So she takes
the demerits silently, and feels down
in the depths of her honest heart that
something is wrong somewhere. . - :
Of course the parents ought to know
these things and attend to them; But
- When, all the "ought tos" have been
successfully attended to, the millen
ium will be tyere. Meanwhile .

deal. They can not give it to them
selves. V
