In a full lage advertisement, car ried in this issue. Tie Wilmington gvings & Trust Co., makes announce ment of its removal jto Its handsome new home at 110 Princess atreet, on Nov l"th. This news -will 'foe read with interest not only by the people 0f Wilmington, but by hundreds liv ing outside the city who have been at tracted as customers to. the Bank by its - well deserved . 'reputations , -for strength and conservative methods. V, The cut of the ibulldmg can do it, but; scant justice as the "handsome white stone front, with bronze trim s' roings, looks a great deal better on the ' street than on paper. It is , a notable addition to the business map of Wil mington, and from date of comple tion will be one of the show places of the city. The building rises a dig nified pile of white Indiana limestone, and projects columns hlgn above its surroundings, forming a -focus for all eyes in reach. Embodying all the best and latest ideas , in -modern fife proof construction,' as well as beauty and utility, the building .illustrates the progressiveneais -of Wilmington, and of one of the city's leading and mosj substantial financial Institutions. It adds materially to the strength and stability of the bank whose wisdom, I ioresigm aiiu miuauve maue it possi ble. - '. .' - . In designing the (building. Architect J. F. Leitner aimed tp avoid all - use less ornamentation and to make the; exterior show that the building is in tended solely for banking v purposes. In its decision to provide - aew qtiajr ters for the. baxrk -.tJie 6ji8exva.tJve . spirit which, has always characterised lie management 6f flecttap nade manifest; therefore,' instead of constructing a building partly for use of the bank and partly for. renting pur poses, a single story, fireproof build ing was specified.. There are no win dows on either side, the light being obtained from skylight in the roof, and even in event of a great conflagra t:on the bank's securities, as well as those of safe deposit patrons, would not be endangered by falling walla and burning debris. In the great Bal timore fire of 1904, the Safe-Deposit and Trust Company - (a single-story build ins) came thorugh- unscathed, while the ground floor vaults of some of the tall office buildings sustained great losses. . , - " The, structure is carried by steel, reinforced concrete, and brick, the front of the building being of Indiana sandstone, with windows, doors and all trimmings of bronze. Carrying out the idea of - a thoroughly fire-proof building, not an ounce of wood has teen used in the main banking room, even the partitions and bookkeeper's 4iesksfbeing made of steel. ' " ' Entering from Princess street-. by three easy steps, an inspection will bow an excellently proportioned room high pitched, well lighted and artis tically decorated. -If the fabled, som-. nambulist who 'dreamt he dwelt In marble halls," should happen into the esuouie of the new. Wilmington Sav ings and Trust Co., building, he might Je impressed with the realization o( dream. Not only are the walls and fixtures lined with imported' Italian okyros marble, but the floors are pav- itn marble brought from the quar nes-ot Tennessee. The bank screen t cast bronze briehtens the room, and accords pleasantly with the decorative ects turnished by the A. P. Giav ttni Co., of Washington. D. C. ihe vault, located in the middle of tne banking room, is impressive in its 'iia.ssive security and has been the wnk's one re.al extravagance. It is modeled after the vault of one of the e.a,.

"; Much more could be said about the new building of the Wilmington Sav ings & Trust Company, but the won derful business record of the company s deserving of at least a few words Organized in 1888, with a paid-in capi tal of $25,000, the company has grown steadily until, its capital now amounts to $100,000, and its surplus to . over $200,000. In 1908, $75,000 or proflts were used to increase the capital from S25.000 -to $100,000. This went to stockholders in the shape of a very handsome dividend of 300 per cent. The present shares have a market value of upwards of 330, and on the basis of the .original capitalization, this would mean that each original share of $100 Is worth $1,320, in add! tion to which regular dividends rang ing from 6 to 16 per cent, per annum have been paid In cash to snarenoia ers. The company has $1,700,000 in dividual-deposits a larger -Une than the individual deposits of any other bank in North Carolina National State, or savings.- It is a record of which . everr Wilmingtonian should feel Droud. as few financial instltu tions in the entire country can equal this-wonderful success.

VALUE OF FENCING Stock Question Disctissed by Mr Wil- liam Crownstream Editor Star: With the talk of. fairs end expositions in Wilmington why would it not be a good idea to have a few sample panels of rail .fence and also a card showing the value oi such a fence and, if posible, also show the value of the fences and the value of stock in fence lav territory. As it requires 1,000 fence rails to fence irf one acre oland and a fence rail contains as much wood as a piece of timber, 10 feet long, four inches wide, by two inches, thick or 6 2-3 square feet, therefore, it will require as much wood to fence In one" acre of land with Tail fence as is required to produce 6,666 2-3 square feet of lum ber.. Figuring rthe cost of lumber at S20 tier 1.000 ' sauare feet, then the same amount of wood which is requir ed ' to fence in one acre of land with rail fence, will, if it is sold as lum ber. tcost $133.32. It will cause immi grants to .shun fence-law, counties and It may open the eyes of some of our near-sighted lawmakers. At any -rate, no exposition would be complete without a few panejs of rail that visitors can see under, what dis advantage "one-third of : our North Carolina farmers. work.

Rhine Searching Among , j Ruins of Paistinei (By Associated, Press.) V Berlin, Nov. llAfter i Tripoli, what next?" is the question which, ac cording to despatches from Swiss cor respondents of the German papers, is agitating the Swiss press" axuL public. Italy's seizure of Tripoli combined with the .well known aspirations of the Italian nationalists to finite the Italian speaking portions of Switzerland with the Roman kingdom Is causing, say these . despatches, much discussion of the possibility that the little mountain republic may be a future object of the aggression of its southern neighbor. Since the outbreak of the Tripolitan war various Swiss papers nave pointed I out the significance fori Switzerland of this unexpected launcnmg ot Hostili ties arid the seizure of a coveted prov ince and have concluded from it the necessity of- neglecting no steps to rn aintain at the highest possible efficiency-the defences and fighting pow er of the country. ' h J The part of . Switzerland on which it i9. feared that ltaly?s eye may. be turned is the canton of Ticino, on the Italian side of the Alps, known to thousands of tourists who have travel ed over .the St. Gothard railroad or visited the Italian Laes. Its area is 1,088 square miles and its population nearly 150,000, practically all of them Italian speaking. Like the southern part of the Canton of Valais and the Engadine region of Eastern Switzer land, it is marked upon the maps and colored, postcards of . the Italian Irre dentists (agitators for? at united Ital ian empire) as one of fine regions ulti mately to be Joined to Italy, but what has focused attention particularly on the Ticino is the 'vexation manifested 5r certain Italian quarters at the strong Swiss fortifications of the St Gothard pass whicn dominate tne Canton. " A series -of articles on the Impor tance of these fortifications by an Ital ian Jteneral -has recently appeared in th Coriere della Sera of Milan, but talian criticisms of the Swiss mis trust have rather, increased than d minished the sea with which the for tifications are being pressed.

Now attention has been turned to the Stilf ser Joch, a well known Alpine nass. situated at the Junction of the frontiers of Austria, Italy and Switzerland.- Over this a fine carriage road leads from Italy into Austria. The naaa has hitherto been considered am niv defended bv the fact that the route passes for a distance of about eigm miles across a narrow yuiui xn.

The headquarters of the expedition 'wereto be at Siloam, where the were when the work wa interrupted by j public clamor following reports that the strangers had bribed guards of the Mosque and obtained improper access to the building for the purpose of dig ging beneath its foundations. Captain Parker was ' told by his friends that the bitter feeling .engen dered last Spring had not disappeared and moreover that because of the Turco-ltalian war popular feeling against the intrusion of Europeans in general had been raised ' to a high pitch. They insisted that this resent ment would be acute in the case of one like Parker, who had given of fense only a few months agoand that his stay would be fraught . with un pleasant consequences if not with per il to his life.
