Amuse ment company.

Four monkeys have- already been bought and are out ai ibq grounds, subsisting on peanuts and other provender 'that the visitors of the- resort are only too glad to con tribute for the pleasure of seeing them eat. Work on the bath house Is already under way, and a pile driver was. busy yesterday laying the ' foundation for the,.boathouse. Board walks extend ing out over the lake among the moBS hungf cypress trees are being- built. Tomorrow morning work will begin on the floorlng-in of the low ground south of the mill.

Owners of undocumented motor boats should apply in theourse of a fortnight to the collector of customs of the district in which they reside for these numbers which will be issued as soon as the printed forms are re ceived. While the penalty for failure to car ry these numbers does not apply. until six months after the passage of . the act the numbers will be awarded at once on application of the owners. DEATH OP MRS. FITTBIAN. Greatly Beloved Christian ' Woman Pamed Away Yesterday Afternoon Many friends will regret to learn of the death of Mrs. Georglanna. Pittman, who passed away yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of her son, Roland L. Pittman, at Seagate. She was 64 years old and a' woman of 'de vout Christian character, having been for many years a member of Southslde Baptist church. Funeral, services will be held from the residence this morn ing at 10 o'clock and will be conducted by Rev. R. p. Walker, her pastor. She is survived by two sons, Roland L., of this city, and Henry Pittman. of Raleigh, both of whom will have the tende rsympathy pf many friends. "People are already making reser vations at the hotels and boarding houses," says Dr. John Jeter Hurt, speaking of the coming session of the great Baptist Seaside Assembly which opens June 2? and closes July 4. "They are coming this year in goodly num bers." "We have 'the finest me-tlng place on the soutn Atlantic coast," Dr. Hurt declares. 'Thirteen . different conven tions are meeting at Wrightsville Beach this summer. The State Bar association adjourns at 5 o'clock In or der to make , way for our first meet ing in the same building at 8:30 o'clock. When we adjourn at noon on July 4 we will be followed 30 minutes later by a big Masonic conclave. So get your summer togs together, drop a line to somebody ordering a sleep ing place, and be happy In anticipation as weir as in realization later." V- Notables on the Program. Introducing assembly speakers, Dr. Hurt presents the" following: x Professor William J. McGlbthlln, M. A., D. D., Ph. D., LL. D., is one of the foremost scholars of America. He has been for a number of years professor of church history in the Southern Baptist Theological seminary, Louis ville, Ky. He is also the author of several books which have attracted wide attention. He has a -style that is simple, chaste, earnest and impressive. Those who make opportunity to en gage him in conversation soon forget that he has won so many high degrees from leading institutions of learning. With all his learning there is no ad mixture of suspicious interrogation marks, for his allegiance to the "Old Book" is as pronounced as when he was a .lad in Sunday school. Dr.. Mc- Glothlin will lecture once a day dur- ing the entire period of the assembly. We present next Rev. Curtis Lee Daws, D. D., of New York and Ameri ca. He is editor of "The Watchman Examiner.'I . a weekly Journal which many consider, to be the strongest Baptist paper In all the land. Dr. Laws is a'native of Virginia, but most of his ministerial career TTas . been spent in the north. He was for some years pastor of the "First Baptist church . of Baltimore, end later pastor of Greene' Avenue church, Broolyn. During the years of his pastorate he won the hearts of men and women easily, for he loves people and they soon find it out. He has carried the freshness of very day life into the columns of his paper, and therefore people read it. He understands the' times in which he lives, and he knows the needs of the times. He writes faithfully and fearlessly. His friends have never decided whether he is bet ter editor or preacher. He is proba bly better as both. Dr; McDanlel of Richmond. Rev. George W. McDnlel,. . DD., pastor of the First Baptist church, Richmond, Va., ' is a prince among southern gentlemen and preachers. One would be tempted to comment 'on his handsome appearance in the pul pit or on platform, did not second thought of him crowd out that which is incidental. Those who hear him preach think of hinr always as preach er original in composition, natural in delivery, practical and helpful and earnest in every utterance. As a plat form speaker he addresses himself al ways to important Issues of, the day, and in style combines the best ele ments of a successful preacher at the bar, a warm-hearted evangelist, a senatorial debator and a first-class stump speaker. He ' is sure to be at his best on "Our Gains from the War," an -"Following the Flag." Dr. R. F. Y. Pierce D. D. Rev. R. F. T. Pierce, D. D., is pas tor of one of our churches in Brook lyn, - and preaches sermons through pictures. He has a remarkably hap py faculty of gathering up essential truth and throwing it upon the black board. Grown people do not get tired of his sermons in pictures, and the children simply revel in ' them. Dr. Pierce has been with us two seasons before and because ofhis great popu larity and helpfulness we have engag ed, him for the third season. He speaks on the first two nights of the -assembly. Come early to hear him. And now here is something original and unique. The" wonder to me is that the people of America who clamor for sure enough history, do not torment the life out pf our speaker who comes to address us on "A Chapter of Un written -History." I could listen 4. to him a whole day on this theme. But 1 have changed the name of his lec ture, for it ought to be called "The Capture and Death of John Wilkes Booth as I Saw It ' Dr. R. B. Gar rett, F of Portsmouth, . tells of how Booth came to his father's house Just after the awful "incident at Washing ton, of how he disguised himself while there, of how he talked about the fireside, and of how, at last, his pursuers found him, and of the man's death in the front yard of Dr. Gar rett's old home. The story is told In simple, conversational style but every sentence of .lt thrills. : . : Dr. Victor I. Blasters. Victor I. Masters, D. D., is editor of the home mission board publications, and lives in Atlanta. He is already an . author of distinguished ability on southern church life. But when he writes or speaks on problems connect ed with the country church everybody who has a mind follows him closely. Dr. Masters is perhaps the leading authority in- America on the country church problem. He has been called to deliver series of lectures at the University of Virginia, the University of North Carolina, and before other notable groups of southerners on this theme and his books are quoted by perhaps half the men and women who speak or write on this general theme. He is to be here the entire week. A new Sunday school expert comes to us this year. He is Prof. W. D. Hudglns, of Tennessee, where he has ceen serving as state secretary for several years. Those who have heard him, speak in terms of highest praise of his lectures. He, too, will be with us the entire week. Miss Margaret Frost. And, then, there is another Sunday school specialist whose name sends a thrill through all Southern Baptist hearts. It is "Frost," Miss Margar et Frost of Nashville, daughter of him who lately went to rest after hav ing founded and built up, the Sunday, school board of the Southern Baptist j convention.,; She' has' been ' hearing ; about Sunday school work from the cradle on up. And, now, out of her rich experience and careful Investiga tions she will speak especially to those Interested in primary problems. Wolslas;el' V Music we will have In abundance. "Wolslagel" will be in charge, and he can get more music out of an untrain ed congregation than anybody this scribe ever, watched. .And therein lies the charm of his work; he thinks first of getting the people to sing and only incidentally of singing himself. The people enjoy hearing themselves sing far more than, they enjoy hear- I ing specialists sing.- Wolslagel stud ies crowds end he has observed tne fact 'Just stated. But there will be all sorts for the assembly tarings together many musicians. And so we will have solos, duets, quartettes, double quartettes, choruses and many Instruments of music besides. And the "Orphanage Quartette" will be there, for the entire time. That is one reason why I know heaven will not be far from the big auditorium during assembly week. I would be willing to get down and crawl to that spot right now Just to hear these angel voices sing, 'Tread Softly Here." There would be a new note in my preaching tomorrow. Others Coming;. I need not take space to introduce to our people those who are among us and of us, but merely mention the names that charm, such as W. R. Cul- lom of Wake Forest. Rev. , W. A, Ayers of Durham, Rev. J. W. Kinche- loe of Rocky Mount, Rev. A. A. Walker of New Bern, Secretary J. D. Moore of Raleigh, Secretary Odis B. Hinnant of Wilmington, Mrs. Jones and Miss Carroll of Raleigh, Mrs. Pope, Miss Proctor and Miss caiaweii, or L.um berton, and others will be pressed into service. and TUESDAY At FUGHS1 GASH DEP'T STORE TAR HEEL IS NAMED TO HEAD ASSOCIATION W1LM1NG TON FAIR PRICE LIS 71 The Wilmington price interpreting board for the United States food ad ministration yesterday issued a fair price list on staple articles.
