There is a general demand that the new charter be published in detail. for the .benefit of the public The local press has published digests of the char ter," as prepared by the attorneys who drew up the document, but the voters feel that they should have the I oppor tunity of going over the charter in its complete -form. Council has considered the advisability of having several thousand copies of the proposed new charter printed in pamphlet form, and this may be decided upon at the week ly meeting today, or it may be de cided to have the charter printed in one or more of the local papers. SAFE UN OTHER SIDE. Henry Williams Delivers Cargo of Cot- ton at Holland Port. The following from Monday's Bal timore Sun will be of interest here: - "A cable message was received last night by Mason L. Weems Williams, president of the Baltimore & Carolina Steamship Company, in which was an nounced the safe arrival of the steam ship Henry Williams at Ymuiden, in Holland, with a cargo of cotton from Charleston, S. C. i "The ship cleared from Charleston on February 11 with 5,000 bales pf cotton, -valued at $300,000, in its hold. When the German and English blockade dec larations and threats were made there was much anxiety over the safety of the ship and its crew until Saturday, when a cable message was received Of its safe arrival on Friday at "Deal, ih England, just, below the Thames river. "The voyage was not an unusually slow one, as, it had spent about a week in the English channel and then had to-stop at Deal before crossing over to Holland. Ymuiden is not two hours' journey by canal from Amsterdam. , "Whether there were any adventures and perilous escapes on the voyage is not yet known ; in Baltimore, as the messages were extremely meagre."

Monthly Meeting; of the Board of Health Last Evening Reports of Officers and Departments Deep Wells Discussed That Federal Point and Masonboro townshipsare progressing very rapidly in the matter of rural- sanitation and bid fair to attain in , the near future a standard of excellence equal to that which now gives Cape Fear township the reputation of being the "model townfhip of the whole South in this respect, is an interesting feature of Dr. Chas. T. Nesbitt's monthly report, made to the Boardof Health at the re gular meeting last night at the court house. Dr. Nesbitt also comments on the fact that splendid progress has been made in Harnett township, though 'retarded by the opposition of several leading residents. 1 Aside from the receipt of the month ly reports from the officers and depart ments, little else-'Of importance came before thet Board last night, though there . was an informal' discussion of the water supply question, especially with reference to the continued agita tion for deep wells. . Dr. Nesbitt, in a short statement, expressed regret that further efforts in behalf of deep wells would only result in postponing the time when Wilmington would have a satisfactory water supply and could only result in the -useless expendi ture of more money in addition to that already "expended. v . Dr. Nesbitt exhibited a chart of fig ures from analyses of samples of the Wilmington water made by the labora tory, of the State Board of. Health, which, he informed theXmembers of the Board, proved conclusively that there are not more than five cities in the entire South wjiich have a better water supply than that Wilmington now enjoys. The members of the Board also ex pressed regret over the continued agt tation of the deep well subject, agree ing in their opinions that conditions here made it impossible for Wilming ton to secure a satisfactory supply of ! potable water from deep wells. Dr. Nesbltt's Report. Dr. Nesbitt's report, in detail, was as follows: -- "I am very much gratified to report that at this date Masonboro and Fed eral Point townships contain no houses or places of business which are not supplied with receptacle privies, and there are none of these privies which do hot show an effort more or less ef fective to render them fly-proof. There are still a few places in Harnett town, ship which are not supplied with priv ies and a few other Places in which there has been no attempt at fly-proof- Ing. The. owners of these houses are white citizens with but one exception. These N citizens have presented various arguments with which they attempt to justify their action in this matter, but as they are so tremendously in the mi nority, there being but three or four of such property owners in the county, thase arguments can be judged as to their importance by this fact. It has been exceedingly gratifying to note the interest and splendid co-operation of the citizens of the county in. our ef fort to make New Hanover county (Continued on Page Eight.) SOPPLIES FOR WAR RELIEF Appeal by Society of Colonial Dames ' for Old Linen and Cotton Goods for Surgical Dressings. ; The North Carolina Society of Co lonial Dames of America is co-operating with the Vacation War Relief Com mittee, of New York, in securing sur gical supplies for-relieving the wound ed in the European war and have al ready converted into dressings and bandages a great deal of old linen and cotton, but as the supply has run short they now wish the ladies of Wilming ton to help them in this noble work by . sending them all of their Nold linen and cotton. The linen must be dean, but it does not matter how old or worn it may be as every scrap can be utilized. A com mittee of ladies will be at the rooms of the Society at No. 503 Market street this afternoon and on : every Wednes day afternoon from 3:30 until 6 o'clock to receive donations of old linen- and cotton goods for this humane work: They hope that there will be a liberal response as these hospital supplies will be devoted to the use of" the wounded of all the belligerents .irrespective of nationality.' Quite a large package of dressings and bandages, made by the Colonial Dames, was shipped to. headquarters in New York last week to be distribut ed in. Europe and it was most grate fully received.- " The following appeal ror the wound ed in Europe has been serft out by the Surgical Dressing Committee, of the New York organization: "Iii Civil War days an appeal was sent to every state in the Union by the Sanitary War Relief Committee for old linen sheets, pillow .cases, blankets, towels, table cloths, napkins ana flan nels to be cut up into surgical dress ings and binders for the wounded sol diers. At that "time gauze dressings were not in use, so the women of 50 years ago' made the dressings for the wounded men at the front from such articles. We all know how general the response was to this appeal; old 'chests were ransacked, drawers, trunks and closers were searched, and treasures long hiddenwere willingly sacrificed to supply thdemand. "To'day the orders from 'Europe for gauze and cotton are so gigantic that our. factories are unajtle to; meet them, so agtyn the -women of America are rendering similar service to K the wounded iii Europe, They are appeal ing i to the public for the material re quired to manufacture dressings for use in the hospitals. ' , "It is hoped that scrap's . of. linen r packed away in old attics, or mater ials now ,neing usea a3 austers, turni- ture covers, etc:, will be forwarded to the committee. , A. piece of goods 12 inches square; in an otherwise ragged article, will make a dressing or some I nnnr -wnnnrf, lr1 " . - - WILMINGTON; N1C!

A. Taylor appointed a special commit tee to attend the lecture oh manual training to be given at the Hemenway School Tuesday evening, 'March 23rd, and to report back to the joint com mittee. Mr. Blair, in a statistical summary accompanying "his report, showed the total enrollment in the city schools for February to have been 4,177 and the average daily attandance 3,330.

Mr. Blair observed that manual ana Industrial arts andi domestic science are now- being taught in practically all of 'the larger and more ' progres sive cities of the country, and that if the South ever hopes to compete with the rest of the world in the manufac ture of finished products from raw ma terials the education of her children must proceed along different lines, from those which have been followed in the past.
