J Corbett.; A record or the proceedings was kept by the. secretary, Mr. How ard B. Branch. -' , -4 Rate Association Endorsed. -. Mr, J, G. McCormick assured mem bers of the Chamber that the North Carolina Just Freight Rate Associa tion had fought firmly and consistent ly for just freight rates for the entire fetate. it has stood, he said, for State wide relief, for adjustment of intra state freight rates, and for a public utility commission. For all these ,Wil mington business men have used their best energies, he concluded. He stat ed that , he .had received assurances from President -Fred N. Tate that the work of the association would be con tinued, and that there ' would be no stop to the fight until relief for all the btate as obtained On his motion, seconded by Mr. L. E. Hall, the following .resolution was unanimously and ' enthusiastically en dorsed by the Chamber: "Resolved, That the Chamber of Commerce of the city of Wilmineton endorse the aims and principles :of the Just Freight Rate Association of North Carolina for State-wide- relief i and that the Chamber, of; Commerce and the New Hanover Branch of" the Just Freight Rate - Association pledge- to tne &tate association its. hearty support for a continuance. of the work' and urge that. the existence of "the as sociation be. continuedsF-imtil State ' widereiief ha-' Tieen - obtained: and -tbS45sjdent Tate- be requested to noioia meeting or the ; association un tile .clty-of Charlotte for this purpose as early as practicable."

An announcement of great interest is that of the Southern lecture tour ot the renowned Senator from Wiscon sin, the Honorable Robert M. LaFol lette, which will begin at an early date. He has been prevailed upon to present a series of ten lectures throughout the South. Five of these will be present ed in North Carolina. , i He will deliver his famous lecture on - "Representative" Government Among the cities in this State . where he will lecture are Raleigh, Durham and Charlotte. This great commoner, former Governor, 'of his -State, candi date for the nomination for President of the United States in 1908 and now United States Senator from Wiscon sin, should require no special herald ing in any city in this country and certainly no introduction to the read ing public. ' Since it has been learned that he will visit North" Carolina an effort is being made to secure one lecture for Wilmington. It is not yet known 'defi nitely whether he will come as his time is so filled but there is reason to believe -that this can be accom plished. Shouldthe gentlemen who arel' behind this movement succeed their " efforts should receive the un qualified support of the public as- it doubtless will. There 'are few greater personages in this- country than Mr, LaFollette. He enioys ' a hold upon the interest and confidence of . the American people enjoyed by few men in public life, v ' Should it be- possible, to secure this lecturer lor one of his lectures it will be a v rare opportunity to? hear one of such eminen'ce?lin the world of politics and public affairs. .. ! ty. :He said he was glad indeed to see. this meeting at which all apparently were unanimous in their desire to "se cure the bridge. He ventured the as sertionJhat out of the 30,000 people in Wfilmington there were not.pver 10 per' cent, who had ever crossed over to the Brunswick side of the river. There are'' great'possibiiities of growth he said; -which would, be opened up if the Isridge.. were built. Among others he pictured the great possibilities op en: to "truck growers in Brunswick pro vided they . had the "facilities to get iheir -products to narketi , On motion of Mr... Hugh MacRae, seconded by Mr. J. G. McCormick, the Chamber unanimously endorsed the project but postponed further action until the next'meetihg. : .. ;? New (J nion Station. ' On motion of Mr. J.

"There, is ah inherent weakness in all : forward " movements, a weakness ever present and ever to be avoided the tendency to overlook the fact that the thing reformed is in and of itself a thing of value,- otherwise it should be abolished rather s than reformed.

Bridfle Across Cape Fear, v: ; Vv "' Mr. W. ( D. MacMillan,' chairman of the committee appointed to lookiafter' the matter -of Jbuilding a bridge across the Cape Fear river, stated that the matter had been resting easy since last January when a bill authorizing the issuance of bonds for its construc tion upon the approval of the people was passed. ' He thought that since Brunswick had voted, bonds to .build a bridge across Northwest river, had made provisions for building a.;road from the bridge to the Columbus coun ty line, and was ready to cede Eagle Island toxNew Hanover upon the con dition that New; Hanover build a bridge across the Cape Fear and build a good roads to the Brunswick '.bridge that it was now time to take some ae- tiOn. : . . - . "For two years,f he said, "we have been saying that if Brunswick county would do her part that we would do ours, and it is now Up- to us to do it It is simply a question of whether we shall hold .an .election now or later. If the Chamber of Commerce will get behind the project, put the proposition before the Board of County Commis sioners and push the matter I believe that it can be built.? Mr. J. Allan Taylor thought that in view of the large bond issue and the maximum tax rate that it would pro bably be wise to wait until later to take definite action. He raised the question as to whether or not the bonds authorized by. Brunswick were valid. -.- ' - . Representative Woodus Kellum be ing present, was - called upon for his opinion and said that the Brunswick bill providing for issuing bonds to build the bridge was . different from most bond bills in that it required on ly a majority of voters undei the old registration'and not' a" majority of the qualified voters. -Jle. stated,' howeyer, that in his opinion the . courts would hold the law valid because the-Supreme Court -has held that a public bridge is a necessity and may be built ,by the Board of County Commission-. ers witnout the eonsent of the peopier He thought, however, that it would be better, for all concerned to delay the matter for a few months. - - - : Mr. Hugh MacRae thought "that the Chamber of Commerce should endorse the project because it would open up new territory and would, add a new factor to the development of Wilming ton and this entire section. On ac count of present business conditions, however, he thought that it would be a good, policy to wait a few months before taking further action.. President. Corbett called on Mr. M. W. Divine, whom he described as one of the pioneer workers for the pro ject, to give his views. He gave a comprehensive outline of rthe - history of the agitation and showed the good results that would come to Wilming ton if -it were built. His suggestion was that a bridge 900 feet long and 24 feet wide be built that is heavy enough to carry a dummy line. He ' stated that such a bridge can be built ' for 1150.000. , v ,v-1:.- .?; While it will mean much for the de velopment of Brunswick county, and will open up a new means of trans portation to Wilmington the -main thing is Eagle Island, he said and the development here would be of untold value to the - city. "He -discussed at - length the question of whether or not it would hinder navigation,- and stated that an 'automatic lift, such as is" used at Navassa, could be built. Hon. John D. Bellamy was called; on to give his, opinion as to. the legality of the.Brunswick legislation, and stat ed that he , had . been asked, by the chairman, of the Board of County Com missioners to .look into the Question'. and that ' he hadradvised him that the bill was ' entirely. legal,J'OwinK to the fact-thatja bridge is ;a public necessi- ' - - '..

"The recent completion of the new union station at Wilmington is at once a distinct acquisition to the city, a contribution to public convenience, and a credit to the Atlantic Joast Line, all of which is freely recognized and cordially commended; and we in dulge the hope that this evidence or broeress is but an earnest of the pur pose of the Atlantic .

Deepening of River. Mr. R. L. Payne called attention to the public hearing which is to be held in the rooms of the Chamber of Com merce this afternoon at 2 o'clock by members of the Board of Engineers for . Rivers :and Harbors in regard to deepening the Cape Fear river above Hilton so that larger snips can ais- charge their cargo at 4the fertilizer factories located on the stream. Maj. Stickle, he said, heartily endorsed the project as well as the Board of En gineers.. . The only question now is that the board -believes that a part , of the. ne cessary expense snouia oe paia Dy pri vate interests. The enterprises at Ra ton do not feer thai tliey -should be made to' pay -this as they cannot come into the city, and cannot locate south of the city. where there' are:: good wa ter facilities on account of a lack of railroad facilities. - ; u - h i The three fertilizer plants, if the fiver is deepened?; will bring to the city 25 or 30 additiopal ships -a year. This would aid greatly -,in furnishing an outlet to the city, .; he-..-said. He thought that . it was a. matter that concerned - the . whole people and that there should Abe a large attendance at the hearing , today in order that the matter, may be presented in its true light to the Board of Engineers. " The secretary- was. instructed -to send, out-notices to all members of the Chamber notifying them that the hear ing is to be held. The deepening of the . river by the government without having" private aid was endorsed. , - ., Good Roads Day. v , . Mr. W. D. MacMillan called to at tention of the members present that Governor Craig had- set November 5th and' 6th - apart as days to be devoted especially, to. building good roads and to increasing" interest" in" having sub stantial roads - throughout the State. He - said that the road committee of which, he was chairman,- is i- plannihg o have -some Sor.t. or' celebration . in which the people bf this,.' and sur rounding counties w4H : bei asked -to Participate. He vstatfed that .the plans f-have "not- yet been worked, put, but he simply wanted to call the attention or the members present tb the celebra tion.i - : - . ; . .-. " : Hon. John D. Bellamy-said that he wished to , endorse the proposition of the Governor! ' to have all the ; people observe the, days -set apart .by him. He' ekpressed . the v hope i that ' all : the people of - this section would unite in carrying out the purpose of the day. .. Having failed to reach a satisfactory adjustment of the matter with the in surance .' company following several weeks of correspondence between his attorneys and the company, J: C. Hol ly, "recently cleared of all connection with the fire at the Rock Spring Ho tel 'and the death of Edward Crom well, his ward, three years ago, yes terday brought suit t against the Greensboro Life Insurance Co., and the Jefferson Life Insurance Company, of Greensboroj for he 'amount of the face of thev policy, 2,50Q, on Crom well's life and assigned to Holly. ; It Is also likely; that1 he will ask hea vy punitive damages,., alleging false arrest and imprisonment, claiming that the insurance company was in stigator and "prosecutor of the murder charge against him. Damages to the amount of $50,000 jnay be .asked. How ever, it has not yet been determined to ask for punitive . damages at all, though this phase of the case is being given consideration by the attorneys. The London Assurance Corporation, of London and New York, which held the $1,250 policy on the household and kitchen furniture belonging to Holly, may also be sued by Holly for the re covery of the amount of the insurance, as the company has not responded to his demands for an adjustment. Following the burning of the Rock Springs Hotel, on Chesnut street, be tween Water and Front, where now stands the handsome building of J. Wl. Murchisoh & Co., on the morning of July 10th, 1910. Holly was arrested and placed in jail on the charge of murder; by poisoning of Edward Cromwell,-his ward, who lost 'his life in the blaze.- The motive, the State con tended, was the collection of the $2, 50Q insurance on the boy's life. The policy was taken out only a short time prior and only a few days before was assigned to Holly by Cromwell. Holly was first convicted and sentenced to be electrocuted. The Supreme Court granted a new triaL- The jury failed to agree and a mistrial was ordered.' The third and final trial on the mur der charge was held In Pender Super ior court at Burgaw, the. defendant being acquitted. He was not released, however, as, in the meantime a New Hanover grand jury had returned a bill of indictment for arson, it being alleged that he. set fire to and burned the Rock Springs Hotel for the double purpose of hiding the murder and the collection of the insurance on the fur niture. ; The indictment Was changed "to houseburnlng and the jury return ed a verdict of not guilty, Holly was then given his liberty. C. D. Weeks and Wm. J. Bellamy, Esqs., who are responsible for Holly's final acquittal, having fought vigor ously and skilfully through four long trials for the defendant. . whom they had been appointed to defend by the court, then began correspondence with the fire and life insurance com panies with a view of adjusting the insurance, which they claim should now be paid since 'the courts have de-clared-rthe defendant not guilty and that, too, after four trials. The nego tiations, were unsuccessful and it was determined to enter Suit. ' The attor neys for Holly hope to be able to try the case within the next few months. The life insurance policy was taken out in the Greensboro Life Insurance Company, which has since been ab sorbed by The Jefferson Standard. hence both companies were named as defendants in the action.

Wilmington Experiences Its " First Touch of Winter This Week. After along period -of dreary rains Wilmington has had r this ideal Fall weather. The nights are cool enough to make a fire necessary for comfort, and there has consequently been a general overhauling of heating appa ratus. The coal man has been kept busy laying in a stock of Winter fuel for the housekeepers of the city. Win ter wraps, Winter ha:s and Winter clothes have made their appearance and there, has been a general trans formation of. dress, especially among the feminine element of society. The clear sunlight with the dull azure blue suggestive of ( departing Summer and the temperature just right for comfort make the days in this section Ideal ones for enjoyment and pleasure. The busy man of af fairs longs for a day off in the fields with gun and dog, and many find sur cease by taking 4'od and line and hie ing away to the seashore for a day of fishing. Soon, however, the hunter will be in his glory, and already many are planning for duck hunts and oth er like sports. Occasionally some who were reared on the farm hark back to the memory of . their boyhood days, and steal away for a night of 'possum hunting. :l Not the least , enjoyable feature of the Autumn se$o?i are the moonlight nights that bring to mind memories of corn shuckings and other Fall fes tivals that used to be so popular, but have largely departed with the on ward march of progress.
