Mayor Thos. H. Wright, of the town
of Wrightsville Beach, and Alderman
L. Stein appeared before, . the City
Council at its regular weekly meeting
yesterday to ask that in view of the
fact that at the annual meeting of the
board of aldermen of the resort on
Tuesday afternoon- it had been decided
to put in fire protection, that the city
fathers allow them the use of two
tanks from an -old fire track at the en
gine house at Sixth and Castle streets.
They did not ask that it be given them
but simply wanted to borrow it.
While the councilmen agreed with
Mayor Wright that the bss-ch is prac
tically a part of Wilmington, they
could not see their way clear to loan
the apparatus but expressed a willing
ness to sell it at a reasonable figure
as the city has no further use for the
apparatus desired. Mayor Wright
stated that a volunteer fire company
was to be organized. Councilman
Bunting and Fire Chief Schnibben were
appointed a committee to attend to
the matter.
Former Councilman T. W. Wood ad
dressed the board briefly in which he
called attention to an ordinance he had
tried to get through when he was coun
cilman providing for the taxing of the
gross income of the Tidewater Power
Company. He still thought it a good
thing. He also wanted some informa
tion about the proposed new lighting
system for the city as he understood
that the old poles were to remain. He
had been out of, the city at the time
the new contract was made with the
Tidewater Power Company, he stated.
He thought that the proposed system
of lighting, known as the indrect sys
tem, was of little value and maintained
that the cluster system was the only
one worth anything being- used in
many of the more progressive cities.
Councilman Merritt and other members
of the board informed him that the
proposed system was considered the
most modern to be had. (
At the request of J. O. Carr, Esq., at
torney for the Simmons' Forced Grate
Company, a committee composed of
Councilmen Jones, McCaig and Bunting
was appointed to pass upon the merits
of ,a recent test made at the water
works plant furnaces.

Among the improvements which
have been made at Carolina Beach
since last season are the rebuilding of

under construction and will be finished
by the latter part of June. With the
advent of summer weather a large
number of cottagers have moved down

Many new cottages have been erect

HOLD MEMORIAL SERVICES
Dr. J Wilbur Chapman Preaches to
G. A. R. Veterans In Keen, N. H.
At the morning service of the Chapman-Alexander
tabernacle in Keene, N.
H., on last Sunday there were more
than 2,000 people present and in spite
of threatening clouds overhead, half
a hundred members of the local - camp
of the Grand Army of the Republic
attended in a body, says the Evening
Sentinel of that city. Other delega
tions at the Memorial service included
the Sons of Veterans, the Women's Re
lief Corps and the Spanish War Vete
rans. The Tabernacle was decorated
with flags and bunting.
"In a very pleasing and effective
way," says Monday's Sentinel, "Dr
Chapman epoke of a meeting with
the veterans of the Gray while recent
ty in Wilmington, N. C, and expressed
his gladness that the bitterness" be
tween the North and the South was
over, and pointed out that the North
and South were co-operating in realiz
ing that the hand of God was in the
outcome of the terrible Civil war, half
a century ago. The doctor's sermon
to the veterans and allied orders was
of a patriotic nature, and from the
text 'I have fought the good fight.
etc He spoke of two of his favor
ite heroes, St. Paul and General Grant,
and drew patriotic and ennobling les
sons from the lives of these heroes."
'The first direct invitation for the
Christian life so far in the campaign,"
The Sentinel states in its account of
the Sunday services, "was given Sun
day afternoon and repeated in the
evening. The paternal spirit of Dr.
Chapman was at its best as he stood
in front of the platform and in tender
words of sympathy and love asked
those accepting Christ, or those mak
ing fresh decisions rn the Christian life,"
to come forward and take his hand.. A
score of people responded in the af
ternoon and three score of varying ages
in the evening. After coming forward
to the assigned front seat the local
ministers, members of the Chapman
party and others . talked individually
to them, followed by simple word3
of explanation and assurance on the
part of Dr. Chapman."
That the Rev. Thos. P. Noe is- to con
tinue as archdeacon of the Wilmington
Convocation, until January 1st of next
year and after that time has consent
ed to become superintendent of the
Wilmington Associate Mission, will be
learned " with much interest by his
many hundreds of friends throughout
the State. As already announced in the
press, at the recent meeting of the
Council at Kinston, it was decided to
! change the system of administration
of the mission work of the Diocese of
East Carolina which, it is believed,
will result in much greater efficiency.
The Rt. Rev." Thomas C. Darst stat
ed that the resolution offered at the
recent meeting of Council calling for
the abolishment of the office of Arch
deacon could not be construed as a lack
of appreciation of the splendid work
done by Archdeacon Noe, but that, it
simply voiced an opinion on. the part
of many members of the Council that
the affairs of the diocese could be more
efficiently administered under a differ
ent ..system.
Both the Bishop and the members of
the Council were unanimous in feeling
that no one under the archdeacon sys
tem could do more than Mr. Noe was
doing, and if the Council had elected
or the Bishop appointed an archdeacon
at its recent meeting, the present in
cumbent would undoubtedly have been
chosen.
The . Bishop had not, contemplated
any change in the system at this time,
but in view of the fact that the reso
lution was 'offered and that Mr. Noe,
following the resolution, resigned his
office; before the resolution was voted
on, it was considered wiser to enter
upon a new system which wouM enable
the Bishop and the executive commit
tee to place two or more strong men
in- the diocese who would be able to
givf more individual attention to strat
egic points than any man, however
willing and able, could give when try
ing to cover 33 counties.
The new plan is to form two or more
"Associate Missions" embracing from
five to ten counties each under the di
rection of the strongest men who can
be obtained.
The first and in many respects the
most . important of these "Associate
Missions" will be the one embracing
the territory around Wilmington, in
cluding the counties of New Hanover,
Pender, Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus
and part of Robeson.
The Rev. Thos P. Noe, because of his
eminent fitness for such constructive
extension work, has been asked to be
come superintendent of the Wilming
ton Associate Mission, and realizing
as he does, the tremendous importance
of such work and the splendid oppor
tunity which it offers for the most effi
cient service, has consented to accept
the- position..
At the urgent request of the Bishop
and the executive missionary commit
tee, he will retain his office of Arch
deacon of the diocese until January
1st, 1917, and by that thne it is hoped
that, the "Associate Mission' system
will have been inaugurated in two or
more strategic points in the diocese
outside of the territory which will be
under the especial charge of Mr. Noe.
Mr. Noe's-many friends in Wilming
ton and throughout the diocese will b
delighted to know" that he Is to take
up this important work and feel as
sured that under his wise leadership it
will be a great success.
