Beach. The convention is largely at tended considering the small member ship of the organization, which was formed less than a year ago. . The convention convened yesterday I morning ana was pieoiueu OVer Dy president T. W. Mewborn, of Kins ton. Following the formal opening and a prayer by G. B. Alford, James H. Cqw an welcomed the merchants, speaking n behalf of the chamber 'of commerce, the city of Wilmington, and Wrights Tille Beach and his address was ' re sponded to by C. "EV, Harvey, ; 'of Kin gton, secretary and treasurer . of the association. B ' . . - President Mewborn . reviewed - brief ly the organization of 'the association and gave an outline of its activities and accomplishments since it has been in existence and made certain recom mendations as to future policies to be followed. He first -suggested that a drive for an increased membership be made, as a large membership is. essen tial for effectual work and the accom plishments of the aims of the associa tion. The goal set is tne enrollment or every supiy man a.uu me Lime mer chant of consequence in the eastern part of the state. . Mr. Mewborn made it plain that the purpose of the association is not to L get time merchants to agree on- any arbitrary price to be charged farmers for their supplies, but on the otfcer hand the policy to be' pursued 'is that ef co-operation with the agricultural ists to the end that the latter may develop the agricultural resources of eastern Carolina and thereby make possible a larger volume of business for the merchant, as the success of the latter, to a great degree, lies in that of the former. . Mr. Mewborn also recommended the appointment of a committee, to be known as the legislative committee, whose duty it will be to assist in get ting repealed laws that are detrimen tal to the interest of the farmer and the merchant and have enacted legis lation favorable to these two classes. He stated that he had been recently advised that certain grades of, cotton tfre not accepted on contracts in New York, which very materially affects the firmer on account of bed grades of cotton caused by the labor situation and unfavorable weather ' conditions. Unless the department of agriculture, through its bureau of markets, can ar range to have this low grade of cotton accepted on contracts in flew York ither. outlets provided ' ior lC it will f cause a sltrnip itf "the ' price. The low grades are now sellinjg in - some in-, stances at T cents a; pound lower than the good grades. , Resolutions pledging the loyal co operation of the association with the iooa ana ruei aaministrations,tne ae partment of agriculture and the war industries board will be drawn up by a committee appointed at- yesterday morning's meeting and. will he passed at the morning session tftday V Last night's meettnc, wa featured fry an address by Grant Wright, of the Eastern Dealer, of Philadelphia, which proved highly ' entertaining and uis aavice given tne mercnants will le of much value to them if it Is com plied with. He confined his remarks principally to the need of the fullest co-operation between the merchant and the farmer and told just how this closer relation could be effected. He spoke of North Carolina as being among the greatest agricultural states or the union but pointed to the need or more effort alonsr 'develorment lines, which will eventuallv hrlne- the state to the front in its agricultural resources.

COP'S BADGE NO GOOD. This ''With Other1 Credentials Failed To Satlefy Guard. That the military guards, - in Wil mington are on the Job was well ilr tt.atra.tAd yesterday morning -when Dioinr.intHe.sman Leon George was not n.rmUted to relieve a fellow officer,. W. - Ketcnum, who w " k . . , , ...r the Sea boar a wnan. iu,ji"w"' orrivnd at the outpost at 5 o'clock and was stopped by the guard on duty and regardless of his admonitions-he had to wait , until the guards went plT duty et 30 before he could relieve Policeman K.etcnum. PipinrJnthesman George finally con vinced the corporal who questioned his right to enter the "barred zone," but t,". had orders to let. no one pass officer . was acicompanied to the post hld by ' the sergeant on duty and put the; matter up ,to mm. , j. n aM thn jrersreant he i was an officer and produced his badge and street car passes in substantiation of his con tention ' but the sergeant stood pat. Indi so did the officer uniu, me Ur sltA went : v oft. duty V at 30 iiT.iA: meantime Policeman- Ketch same - time;! wondefTtig ; w Numerous reports of raising, of rents for houses in Wilmington have been made recently and the profiteering committee, named as a result of a mass meeting held several months ago when it was agreed that there should be no raising of rents In the city above the pre-war basis, has been requested to make a thorough investigation. Pre liminary to looking into the matter, a meeting of the committee has been called for this morning at 11 o'clock in the rooms of the chamber of commerce. Complaints will not be heard at this time, but it is desired to formulate a definite policy for whatever investiga tions may be made. At the request of representatives of the shipping board, it was agreed at the mass meeting of citizens that there should be no raising of rents for resi dences until next October, the begin ning of the rental year In .Wilming ton, and then only to the pre-war scale, as it was felt that exceeding' this rate would be profiteering. How ever, many have felt that they should put the pre-war rate into effect im mediately and some instances have been reported of exceeding this scale. This has caused vigorous protest on the part of several residents and they have demanded that the matter be looked into carefully. The agreement with the shipping board was only with reference to resi dences and did not include commercial business houses. However. It has been felt that there should be . no profit eering anywhere and to take care of that situation a committee was recent ly named by the chamber of commerce to make an investigation. In order for either committee to take definite steps on any reports, the facts must be presented in concrete shape. General reports cannot be con sidered. There is a strong sentiment here against profiteering and the profiteering committee in the event they are unable to adjust any differ ences satisfactorily will give the mat ter the fullest publicity in order that the people of the city may have an opportunity to condemn unreservedly any profiteering in these critical war times. The citizens profiteering committee is composed of J. Allan Taylpr, chair man; William Gilchrist. M. J. Corbett. M. W. Divine. J. C. Williams and W. H, Sprunt. -This committee has pledged its best efforts to prevent profiteering and the public Is asked not to form opinions as to report hastily. Many of the re ports of alleged profiteering are de clared to be unfounded, for the reason that in many instances rents during the "dull;, period" have een only about half what they were Tiefore the war. JOHNSON GOLDSBORO NEGRO. Hero of Bla- Klgrht With linn Son ot Henry Johnson, of Wayne Connty. According to the Goldsboro Record, the Henry Johnson, colored soldier in a New York regument, who, with an other negro, Needham Roberts .whipped a patrol of twenty Germans, killing and wounding several, which exploit was duly chronicled in the press dis patches at the time, is a native of Goldsboro, son of Henry Johnson, well known butcher. The Record says: "If any one doubts the fighting abil ity of the colored man, or the part that he is taking In this . war,, we invite them,: to read, the article below, which gives a startling account of a desper ate engagement, in the dead hours of the night, between two brave colored boys, Private Henry Johnson, of this city, and a comrade by the name of Needham Roberts, and a party of about twenty Germans, who made a surprise attack on the colored boys, and al though outnumbered ten to one, they outfought the whole bunch, killing several, wounding several and com pletely routing the balance that were glad enough to get away. "It was a great battle. Don't fail to read the account, it will interest you. "Private Henry Johnson is a Golds boro boy, a son of Henry Johnson, the well known butcher, and is a 'chip off the old block.' Private Johnson Is 24 years of age and joined the colors in New.York at the outbreak of the war." CpL W. B. Fort, of Piksville, tells T.he Star that Johnson is a kinsman of t colored h&lper.of Capt. James Knight, ho worked under the railroad sheds in Wilmington years ago, and who lived in Pikeville. The colonel says he learns through a prominent Wil mington attorney that Wilmington col ored people are the most loyal and pa triotic of the whole' state, and he thinks they -should feel a lot of pride in Pri vate Johnson's fighting ability in .France. NO BAD LANGUAGE. Councilman Shepard Says It Will .Not Be Permitted In Fire Department. Any member of the fire department using" 'profane or unnecessarily rough and ungentlemanly language to a citi zen or -member: of the eepartment, will be held as violating the rules of the department and will be liable ; to sus pension or dismissal, according to Councilman L. L. Shepard, in charge of this department of the city gov ernment. In this connection, Councilman Shep ard yesterday called attention to the city- ordinance ..prohibiting disorderly conduct, which he stated he expected, 89 far as he was concerned, to enforce strictly. The ordinance reads as fol lows: . .. ' "Every person guilty or quarreling or-fighting or of loud end boisterous cursing, or swearing, or who shall dis turb the peace of others by violent, tumultuous . offensive or obstreperous conduct or carriage, of by unseemly, obscene or offensive language or other disorderly conduct calculated to pro voke a breach of peace, in any street, ally, house or elsewhere in the. city, or in any of the -city's parks, shell be subject to a penalty of twenty dol lars for each and .every" offense." . i To Sell Valuable Property. . .

Cutler, Jr., of New Bern," repre senting the state W. a.- S. headquar- ters, resulted in a big boost for. tb.e ; sale of thrift and war savings stamps and will go e long way in helping Wilmington and New Hanover county "over the top." Every seat In the as sembly, hall of the chamber of com merce and a big portion of the stand ing room was occupied shortly after 6 o'clock for the conference o,f the re tail merchants of the city. - The audi ence consisted of large and small mer chants of both races, men and. women, and the enthusiasm displayed by them was very gratifying to the , visiting workers. , George Honnet presided and intro duced Messrs. Rawls and Cutlet. In addressing the meeting " Mr. Rawls told of his canvass of the city during the day, to ascertain -as near as ; pos sible what the people of Wilmingtonr" are doing in the way of helping sell thrift stamps. What he found was not very encouraging but should he return in a week from now it is a safe wager he will find things different and very much more to his liking. He found stamps on sale at a few places but it .was plainly seen that the inter est was not what it should be. Declaring that the only, way to sell stamps is to have them, Mr. Rawls urged the merchants to buy and sell them as they" would any merchandise. Invest a certain amount in stamps end increase the investments as the de mand grows. He said it was a mighty easy thing for the clerks to ask' cus tomers to take thrift stamps as change In making a purpose," but said one would be astonished at the results, for 99 out of every 100- customers would buy one or more stamps'. - At the conclusion of his talk he had blanks distributed, which, when signed by a merchant and approved by either Mr. Cutler or Mr. Rawls, would make the signer an authorized agent of the treasury department with authority td buy and sell stamps. - Practically ev ery merchant present, with the excep tion of those who had previously sign ed a similar blank, placed their sig nature on the application. Then Mr. Rawls asked everyone' to v purchase e few stamps to place on 'sale in their stores, stating that those who did not have the cash with them might make the payment by a personal check. Twenty-four thrift stamps and a war , savings stamp constituted what he termed an outfit and sold for $10.18. A' great many1 took the full Loutflt, whlle others bought a smaller amount. Everyone seemed anxious to do his part and many who did not buy stamps yesterday will do so in the near fu ture, it is believed, and will place them on sale. Anyway, war savings and thrift stamps will be on sale at many places today where thfey have not been before.
