Mr. Editor;-1 I have read about the
Nj vtr , Hanover CoUnty - Commission
' er3 ?"rag-chewing" yesterday and I for
one am not surprised; I have had .an
idea all along that something "would
turn up- to either delay the. building
of : the Northeast . river bridge or to
i cas? it to ibe built, at BlosiomTs Fer
ry, therefore, I have delayed writing
a card ' thanking the honorable men
who stood xip for the rights of the
' farmers who will "have to , use the
Abolit th&Ietry', rights ,ef Sato Bios

. KratlfyJng, the .whims J,of one pr twp

. . '..
-
Itained these so-called rights from the
people. Does New Hanover county
belong-to one or two men!
Who
owns Northeast river? '
. I notic that Mr. MjpEachern states
that he voted for whit he considered
the best interests of the county. That
lathis duty, but is he not mistaken in
his idea of what "Would serve the in
terests of the .people? Is it for the
best interests of New Hanover county
to force farmers to . haul produce by
the longest route whenever they wish
to bring it here, and furthermore, give
them the opportunity to risk their
lives on their way here and likewise
on their return home? -1 refer to those
twp railroad crossings that' they - would
have to cross in case the bridge is
built to Blossom's Ferry, while if it
Is built , where the people want it,
then it will be a straight road and no
railroad crossings until they reach
10th street, which they would have
to cross anyway.
,The three, commissioners of . Pender
county voted for the Hungry Bluff lo
cation, and' they expressed the will of
the people of Pender county. I have
been and am yet, blaming Mr. Arm-1
strong for failing to properly attend
to. his official duties, but I am willing
to give the devil his f dues, to use a
common, expression. . Mr. Armstrong,
together with those other good men,
expressed the will of the people of
Pender. -
What kind of people are we any
how? When we hve-'a man to work
for us we never fail to see .that he
does his work in a satisfactory way,
otherwise we give him the chance to
get a new boss, but w,hen we have a
few cheap politicians we .doff our hats
to them and call them "Honorable"
when the word dishonorable would fit
much better; . ' .
The President of the United ' States
cannot, according to an unwritten law,'
be elected more --than twice. . I haVei
been told that the keeper of the New
Hanover county poorhouse is not al
lowed to keep his office more than
two years. If that is a fact, why do
we keep some people . here in- this
county in "office for such a length' of
time that the county seemingly be-'
longs to them? Why don't we give
some of these old-timers a .resting
spell and give some ' new man an op
portunity to show what he can do?
I tbirtjk there is room for improvement
We have some able county officials.
Take our sheriff, for instance. Mr.
Cowan 1$ a fearless, conscientious
gentleman, and he is an honor to New
Hanover county. Then there is our
old friend, John Haar. ' He is as ac
commodating as it is possible for him
to be. I must not forget to mention
Woodus Kellum, Esq., our able repre
sentative in the last Legislature. He
is a gentleman, every inch of him,
rose from an humble condition, stud
ied law while earning bis living and
is a self-made man, the Jriend of the
poor and humble.
- We have certainly too few- Cowans,
Haars and Kelluuis.in office in North
Carolina, and until we- learn to put
such men in office and keep out the
refined vagrants, .we will do as we are
how, doing standing still. :
For the benefit of those who live In
Wilmington and visit lady friends at
Castle Haynes-1 wish to state thit
regardless of where they - pat : the
bridge the distance from Wilmington
to Castle Haynes will remain the
same. - a , .
t I hope that the County Commis'sion
ers of Pender county will stand firm
and determined In their, choice of lo
cations,.' but under no circumstances
submit to the expenditure of one pen
ny to build it at the other place. Of
course, the bridge should be built' as
cheaply as possible, but take every
thing into consideration.
,- Thanking you for your kindness in
publishing this, I remain, very truly
yours. WM. CROWNSTREAM.

THE PLUMBING SITUAJION.
r '
Only One Development in Strike Yes
terday Both Sides Firm.
Aside from the fact that 12 of the
striking plumbers issued a notice that
they would accept work from the pub
lic, there were ' no developments in
the local plumbers strike, yesterday.
Both sides are standing firm and dfr
clare that they will hold put for what
they believe is right. - t. ;
Twelve plumbers, are out and about
the same number f helpers and, thp
plumbers issued a notice yesterday
that they stand ready to answer any
call when their services may.be need
ed.. They are prepared ' to handle all
classes of wor)t and . will .' appreciate
any work that the public may see fit
to give them. , They stated that they
would establish permanent headquar
ters within the next few days, Unless
an agreement is reached - with -: the
Master Plumbers Jn the meantime.
The Master Plumbers viewed the
move of. the men with some4skepti
cism yesterday, professi'ng to believe
that it was only an effort to force
them to accede to the demands of the
strikers. ;:.One of tfiem . stated last
night that they are In 'position 'to fill
all orders and that they have applica'
tions from a number of outside men
who arATpadv to comp to work-here
at a moment's-notice. He' stated .that
unless a settlement was reached with
in a few days the Master Pliimbers
would likely call in outside help td
fill the places of the striking men and
that they would go on with their bus
iness as heretofore, v The -. Master
Plumbers, he' said, are still determin
ed not to grant the 'demand of. the.

"Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch",

by practically the sme cast as last
season, it jieeds, no introduction or
rncommpndatthn tn nta amnspniPTit
lovers, and, like the book of which it
is an excellent dramatization, the play
may well be . set down, as a tonic for
the low-spirited - and "despond3nt, a
new inspiration to ' thestrong and a
positive- delight to" all. " It has been
said that "Mrs. Wiggs 'of the Cabbage
Patch" as a play, has sufficiently of
heart interest and a sufficient number
of distinct types to supply half a doz
en comedy, dramas and inake the fame
and fortune 'of each. ,'Liebler & Co.,
have certainly done their part in giv
ing .it, an elaborate and realistic pro
duction; and have provided a cast of
exceptional merits including such pro
nounced favorites .as Blanche Chap
man for the title role; Minnie. Milne
for Mis' Hazy, and Thomas Aiken for
Hiram Stubbins. 'These three charac
ters are reckoned the most prominent,
but they are by no means the only in
teresting, and entertaining personali
ties of the play, whiph from the first
to last, is crowded with humorous in
cidents, sentimental . episodes and
side-splitting situations.

The Grand Theatre today will offer
two big feature photoplays, that are

interesting, film of army . life- ."While
both these pictures ' will be features,
there will be one other big offering in
a Lubin of "My 'Brother Agostini", a
story full of startling and unusual fea
tures. It gives an insight to Italian
life and there is a touch of romance
that gives color and life 'to the pic
