His visit is in no way affected by the derision to give Fayetteville's cairp to Charlotte, for it is under stood thrit a second camp will prob ably designated in this state. Gen eral Wood left yesterday for points in Georgia. visit to camp Aside from the annual address of president M. W. Jacobi, the election of eleven executive committeemen and other matters of routine nature, includ ing reports of committees, the leading feature of the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday after noon was a resume of the activities of the Cantonment Committee by Chair man Walker Taylor, together with in teresting remarks by others on the same subject. The meeting was open to the public and attendance was fair. President Jacobi presided and Secre tary H. B. Branch kept a record. That Wilmington stilt has a very ex cellent chance of securing a camp was the assertion of Chairman Taylor and L. Clayton Grant. Esq., the latter just returned from the firing line in Wash ington where he and his friend. Col. "Pete" Murphy, of Salisbury, Speaker opthe House in the last Legislature, did what they could in behalf of Wilming ton. Secured General Wood. Colonel Taylor pointed out that in securing the acceptance of an invita tion to visit Wilmington from General Wood, the committee had achieved its main purpose, and the fact that General "Wood was coming to make a personal survey of the city as a point for an army camp augured well for the city's chances. He said very plainly that the whole matter was in the hands of Gen eral Wood, and he recomniended that the matter be dropped permanently if General Wood turned the city down. :He declared that Fayetteville's trou bles were largely due to the fact that the General had not finally passed on that city. He is the final authority and what he says "goes." Colonel Taylor did not read the for mal report of the Cantonment Commit tee, which has been published in full, but reviewed orally the work of the committee, declaring that it nad done all that it knew to do, and defended it from adverse, criticism which had been uttered because the efforts of the com- cmittee to date had not been success ful. He said that criticism was natural and quite human; but opined that if 'the camp had been secured, critics would have had nothing t,o say. They wanted results and failure to get them 'nspired criticism. Wilmington's Port Receipts. First, however, he prefaced his re marks by briefly referring to the fact that at the beginning jot the term of office of the present collector of cus toms here, the North Carolina port re ceipt's amounted to $18,000; and the government had appropriated $600,000 for a customs house. The disparity be tween the sums was rather humlliat lne. and he interested himself in se curing from the Treasury Department permission to add to the port receipts the revenue incident to the tobacco im ports, and now the customs receipts of Wilmington, which is the port of orth Carolina, covering all other ports, and Winston -Salem, the tobacco town, Mch is a "port of entry," amount to Sl.TOO.OOQ, and the government has said that it is the best record, made at the lowest expense, of any in the United States. The Chamber applauded the statement. Wilmington Won Camp for State. Launching: into the cantonment affair Colonel Taylor declared that not in years had any question been of so much cublic interest here as the proposed army camp. Wilmington very early got me esme for a camp, and that North Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club and City Council Will United in Defray, ing Expenses Others Going. Wilmington will be represented at the big patriotic parade at Goldsboro tomorrow in a manner fitting the home city of the commanding officer, and two of the units of his command. The Wil mington Drum and Bigle Corps, re splendent in their new uniforms, will march at the head of the Wilmington contingent, arrangements having been made yesterday to have their expenses paid to the Wayne capital by the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club Wrightsville Beach and the City Coun cil, each agreeing to pay $25. They will go in a special car. This will not only add to Wilming ton's prestige as a military city, but will also prove an attractive advertise ment for the community, commercially and industrially, it is pointed out. The. corps has "Wilmington Drum and Bugle orps painted -in glaring letters on heir drums, and there will be no dan ger of anyone mistaking where the or ganization hails from. This will also be the first time that they have had an opportunity to appear in public in their new uniforms, which are of handsome design, and attractive coloring. It is probable that they win parade down Front street from the train following- their arrival from GoTdsboro tomorrow evening. Wilmington is well represented at Goldsboro, Colonel Metts being a citizen of this city, as are several officers of the regimental and battalion staffs, in addition to Company A, Engineers, com manded Dy capt. Geo. Gillette, and the Boys' Brigade infantry unit. It is expected that auite a number of Wilmingtonians who have relatives or friends in the regiment will be on hand to see the soldier bovs sav erood-bve to Goldsboro, before departing for their ew headquarters at Charlotte. Co-Operative Spirit Among Citi zens Never So Manifest Before "Must Boost, Not Knock," Declares President M. W. Jacobi in Annual Address to ChamberYear's Ac tivities Reviewed.

The Greensboro News of yesterday had the following story of Wrights ville Beach visitors returning to Greensboro Monday: 'A party of Greensboro people re turned last night from Wrightsville Beach after a thrilling experience in the swamps of the eastern part of the state. The party made the trip in au tomobiles. Members of it were Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Sykes and daughters, Mar tha and Catherine, Mrs. W. H. Foushee, William Foushee, Misses Bess and Kate Alderman, Jom Alderman, all of Greensboro, and Mrs. E. T. Foster, of Bristol, Tenn. "The party left Wilmington early Monday morning in three cars and 30 miles on the road pulled through the first creek. The machines were sub merged to the tops of the hoods and one went out of commission. After working vainly for several hours and with a stormy night approaching, this car was abandoned and the party mov ed on in search of shelter. Two more creeks were forded and for several miles the cars plowed through mud and water in a dense swamp which was dark then and was lighted only by the continuous flashes of lightning. "There was sign neither of shelter nor life anywhere about. The night grew on and the storm nearer and nearer. Losing their way. the party followed a road blindly and then an other, seeking to find a way out. Fi nally they reached a river and stopped by its edge. It was then about 10 o'clock and the storm was raging with heavy thunder, brilliant lightning and a downpour of rain. The men search ed for shelter but there was none. "The storm continued until earlv morning'while the party sought refuge by huddling together in the two cars. With nothing to eat since Monday morning and after the night of expo sure to the wear of the weather, the daybreak found the party surrounded by creeks in a land they knew not where. They were1 lost! "A second car was disabled and aban doned at this point. Part of the little group a-foot and the others in the re maining car, an advance was made. Soon the discovery was made that all the creeks were swollen and impas sable and further progress with the machine therefore impossible. The third car was abandoned and the trip was continued on foot. By noon they emerged from the swamp and finally came to a very fine country home where they were received very graciously and entertained. Next morning they went to the nearest railway station, board ed a train and arrived home last night." Listened to with deep interest and close attention and liberally applaud ed at its close, the following annual address was delivered to the Chamber of Commerce at the yearly meeting yesterday by President M. W. Jacob;, covering comprehensively the activi ties of the Chamber, and pointing out the city's manifold assets and advantages: IMPORTANT THAT CAVALRYMEN SHOULD ATTEND DRILLS Local Unit Will Be Mobilised On Au gust 5 For Duty. With only a few more weeks reraain- ino- hefnre thev are to take UD the khaki and the gun for service "some where" against the kaiser, the officers of Troop C Cavalry are anxious that tvio full atrans-th of the unit turn out for the regular weekly drills between now and the date set tor tneir aran into the Federal service. The company arm hA mustered in on July 25. but will not be mobilized until August 5. Only one weekly drill is being neia, and it is of the utmost importance that the men attend all these, so as to get as much training as possible in the rudiments of infantry tactics before being initiated into the mysteries of the schpol of the mounted soldier. The officers urgently request mat eacn ana every member be in his place next Tuesday night. Lieut. Oscar Peck will be the troop's representative in the patriotic parade at nniHnhnro tomorrow. He will ride with the mounted detachment , of the Wilmington Engineers. Lieutenant Peck will leave lor tne wayne city tonight. PULP AND PAPER PLANT. Old North State Pulp and Paper Com pany Planning For Business. A payroll of $13,000 weekly, plus $3,000 weekly for wood, is promised by the Old North State Pulp and Paper Company, which has offices No. 503 Murchison National Bank Building, Mr. W. H. Crocker president, and Mr. W. E. Worth secretary; and which purposes to erect a 100-ton plant on Smith's Creek, on a site furnished from the tract recently acquired by the city, county Tidewater Power Co. and Wilmington business interests, to be divided into free sites for factories of all kinds. The promoters of the com pany state that nowhere on the At lantc seaboard are there advantages for such an industry comparable to those possessed by Wilmington. Vast resources of wood are available at a minimum of cost ; . transportation to anj from the factory by "frf"!? as good as could be; and the nig and constantly ' increasing- prices of all kinds of paper offer attractive oroflts. To the Members of the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, Gentlemen: This has been a year of organiza tion and. unusual activity for the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has given its assistance to practically every movement for the upbuilding of the city and has assumed the initia tive in many that were carried for ward to success. I feel that the efforts of our com mittees and members have resulted in great good for our city, which has possibilities realized by few. The first essential is knowledge of what we have and the application of a united energy to make use of our opportuni ties. Anything desired can then be ac complished by co-operation. More Co-Operation Than Ever. A more co-operative spirit has been shown this year than I ever recall in our midst, and in spite of the condi tions brought on by the world war we show a decided improvement. I often think that our people are too modest and fail to let the world know of Wilmington's advantages, but rath er echo the boosting of other cities, many of which can not compare with Wilmington in homes, churches, citi zenship, streets, roads, climate and other things necessary to make life pleasant and a city attractive. We should acquaint ourselves with the industries here and the opportunities at our -door, in order to be able to in form others and cry down all who un consciously or otherwise unjustly crit icise. Such people are not good citi zens and certainly do little for our growth. We must boost and not "knock" if we would grow. The or ganization has been successful in ef fectively co-operating with the City Council for necessary improvements to stimulate the growth of Wilming ton. Livestock Conference and Corn Show. The livestock conference held here last March was an inspiration and gave to many information that was surprising as to our opportunity in the coastal region for the raising of cat tle, hogs and sheep at a cost to com pete with the markets of the world and of great profit to those who en gage in same. It was well stated by one of our prominent speakers that livestock is the foundation of success ful farming, and without livestock no farmer can hope for permanent suc cess. Our national government realiz ing the necessity ot tick eradication, as the first step in cattle raising, has appropriated money and is supplying the men and material necessary for same, which Is being supplemented by the progressive states and counties of the South. Pastures had be had at comparatively small cost, and in many sections there are natural pastures that will keep cattle from nine to ten months in the year. Two Packing Houses Here. Two packing houses are being con structed here and will be ready this fall, assuring a local market for all cattle raised. The organization of the North Carolina Landowners' Associa tion is one of the distinct achieve ments of the year, resulting from the North Carolina Livestock Exposition 'and Conference. As the metropolis of Eastern North Carolina, it was es sentialy proper for Wilmington to in augurate this movement, which will be of far-reaching and substantial bene fit to the coastal plain section of the State. This will further encourage the livestock industry, for which we are so particularly adapted, and this organ ization will endeavor to so advertise our section that others will be attract ed and come to live with us. Back to the Farm. "Back to the farm" Is the slogan today; for there is to be found health, happiness, longevity and prosperity for those who work. Rural life, with good roads, schools, telephone, rural delivery and the automobile grows more popular each year and as the world depends on the farm our coun try will be more prosperous as the number of farms conducted on modern practice and experience multiply. We feel that we should have a greater livestock conference this year than last .and would recommend that the corn show be consolidated with it and that we have a conference and far second to none in our State. We wish to acknowledge the valuable aid in this movement rendered by the South ern Settlement and Development Or ganization through its most capable and efficient vice-president, Mr. Clem ent S. Ucker, of Baltimore, and to the banks and others who are giving aid to this most important and promising movement. Every community should start cattle and pig clubs and encour age stock raising, which I believe will bring about a new prosperity. Better Rates and Train Service. Our port development depends largely upon rates and service and we trust that the day is not far distant when the people of North Carolina will Join with us and make Wilming ton the gate-way of the State and we are satisfied that North Carolina and Wilmington will be materially bene fitted by such united effort There is no reason for the differences existing in rates between this and some of the ports a short distance north of us. We are entitled to better train service and our retail merchants particularly would be greatly benefitted by sched ules that would enable one to come to our city in the morning and return home the same day. To require one to spend two nights and a day in order to trade here is unreasonable and wo can not but feel that " it is only the patience of our people that permits them to suffer such injustice. Best Roads In North Carolina. Good roads will largely assist in making our city, a trading center and we should financially, and other-wise aid' in their construction and main tenance, o that we will be connected with all the good roads of this State. Our couAty- is doing her duty and we have the 'beat roads in the State, but we must aid our sister counties in (Continued on-Page "Ten.) Four-minute addresses by volunteer speakers along topics to be selected by the National Council of Defense will oe inaugurated at local moving been picture theatres between the pic tures, and on the veranda at Lumina between the dances, within the course of the next few days, according to an announcement made yesterday. Mr. James H. Cowan, editor of tho Wilmington Dispatch, who is a mem ber of the committee on public infor mation, working in connection with the Council of National Defense," will name the members of the local com mittee within the course of the next two days, and this committee will as early as possible name the speakers. The Howard-Wells Amusement Co. have given their permission to the committee to use their chain of the atres, and the Tidewater Power Co. nave granted them the use of the Lu- ma eranaa ior the same purpose. The volunteer speakers duration of the war and are officially accredited as government speakers. This plan has been endorsed by Presi dent Wilson, Governor Bickett and the National Council of Defense. Briefly, the plan is this! ah mntinn picture houses are being requested to give to autnorizea speakers four min utes time durine- the interim h.,.in the films. Volunteer speakers are to De seieciea to speaK on various sub jects of vital interest in this time of niergeucy. opeaKers are to be ap pointed by local committees receive their authority from th stot Council of Defense, and each speaker win nave nis topic for a snappy four minutes selected by the National Conn. cil of Defense. Good work along these same lines has alreadv been done hv tvie "fnnr. minute men" in the campaigns for Red cross, selective draft. Liberty Loans and other matters. POSTPONED CONCERT TONIGHT IF OLD JUPITER LETS UP Attractive Programme Has Been Ar ranged For Postofflce Park. The second of the series of three test concerts will be- given tonight in Postofflce park by the Whitlock-West band, and from the program given be low, it would seem that there is a treat in store for the music-loving citizens of the city. The first given two weeks ago was largely attended and thor oughly enjoyed by elk and much cred it is due the band for the manner in which they acquitted themselves on their initial appearance. The second, which was given last Friday night but which was rained out, was postponed until Tuesday of this week, when it was again postponed on account of the damp condition of the square. But with weather conditions favorable, it is expected that a large crowd will avail themselves of the opportunity to hear the band's second offering. It has been asked of the press to state mothers are requested to bring their little ones with them, as the con cert will start promptly at 8 o'clock, and wil end in ample time to get the youngsters to bed at their usual time. The program for tonight is as fol lows: 1. "West Point Cadets" March f. Mackie-Beyer 2. "Elaine" Waltz Hesitation .. Baxter 3. "Mignonette" Overture ... Baumat. n 4.

LOCAL MAN GETS CONTRACT FOR SECOND PACKING PLANT Work Will Begin Immediately on Plant ot Cape Fear Co. Contract ifor the erection of the plant of the Cape Fear Packing Com pany has been awarded to Mr. Joe Schad. of this city, according to an an nouncement made by Mr. G. Herbert Smith, president of the corporation, yesterday mornihg. No figures were made public concerning the cost of the plant, but it is understood that it will run well into the thousands. The new packing house will be lo cated on a 600-acre tract of land a short distance north of Navassa on the Cape Fear river, with nearly two miles of water frontage. Work on the plant is to begun at once and rushed to completion so as to be ready for operation at the beginning of next winter. Mr. Schad's contract does not cover the installing of the machinery necessary for an up-to-date meat packing plant. When completed theplant will have a capacity of about 300 hogs, and from 20 to 30 cattle daily, with good facili ties for handling sheep and goats. Work will be started at on early date on the building of a spur track to connect with the railroads diverging from the city. The capital stock of the company is $200,000, and the following are the offi cers of the corporation: Messrs. G. Herbert Smith, president; W. J. Cor bett, vice-president, and Walter L. Griffith, secretary-treasurer. Messrs. Hugh MacRae and A. N. Chinnis are directors in the company which has a paid in capital stock of $30,000. RED CROSS BENEFIT GAME. W. L. I. and Fort Caswell Teams Will Clash Tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, for the benefit of the Red Cross, the strong W. L. I. and Fort Caswell teams will play at Robert Strange playgrounds, and a large crowd is expected to see the battle royal. City League games have been called off to give the two ancient rivals right of way, and to swell the receipts of the Red Cross funds. The W.. L. I. are champs and tna Fort Caswell soldiers are almost. Cor bett will twirl for the W. L. I. and Orr will officiate for the fort. It is planned to pull off a parade with the Fort Caswell band leading, in or der to get everybody started toward the playground. The game will be as good a game of ball as you can ex pect to teee, for the two teams are re garded as the best in Eastern Carolina. The Family Grateful. Mrs. J. Alex. Miller and family, of Waycross, 5a, who were recently sum moned to Wilmington on the sad mis sion of burying one of their loved ones, desire publicly to express their sinCer thanks and appreciation to the many friehds who were so thoughtful in their expressions of sympathy during their recent sad bereavement.

ANNUAL ..REUNION OF CONFEDERATES CANCELLED Durham Chamber f Commerce Calls it Oft on Account of W'ar. The annual reunion of the North Carolina Confederate Veterans, which was to have been held in Durham this summer, has been called off on account of war conditions, according to infor mation received by The Star from Dur ham last night, which stated that a letter to this effect was mailed General James I. Metts, of Wilmington, by the Durham chamber of commerce last night. Considerable preparations for the, reunion had been made, and extensive plans worked out by General Metts, commander, and Major H. A. London, adjutant of the division, and the an- Do not forget that Dr. SETH AR NOLD'S BALSAM is the best known remedy for all bowel complaints.
