C, and branches throughout the nation, will open a branch store this week at No. 18 Market street, tnis city, according to a telegram received by The Star from W. S. Bradley, president' of the com pany. his announcement will create" con siderable Interest locally, especially in the light of the plans, of this large concern to establish a permanent -'branch in this city.' Several prominent citizens, consulted last night, declared they were delighted with the news that the Bradley company had selected : Wilmington as a location for one of its branches. As an indication of the strength of the company, it was learned last night that it recently closed a contract with the United States government for the purchase of two and one-half million dollars' worth of saddles, harness and other supplies. . C. Rowe, Jr., in behalf of the con cern, was in the city a short time ago, making arrangements for the estab lishment of a branch store here and negotiated with F. Ancrum Lord, the . well known real estate agent, for fhe temporary rental of the building at No. 18 Market street, owned by Meares Harries. " - Meares Harriss, president of Harriss Printing company, was interviewed last night, and said Mr. Howe advised him, several days ago that the branch in tfyis city would be permanent. He said lie leased the building to the com pany and that; t would doubtless be remodeled to some extent The lease became operative January 1. It could not be ascertained last night exactly how much stock the concern would carry in the store here, but it was learned that the company will have a complete stock of army and navy goods, including foodstuffs, cloth ing, shoes and kitchen ware. The army clothing apparel that will be sold here has been altered by the tailors of the company, so civilians majr legally wear it. A complete line of harness and sad dlery and sundry supplies will also be carried; in fact, a complete assort ment, like that carried In the head quarters store at Greenville, will be placed in the branch store in this city. Bradley Bonded Warehousa company is recognized as the south's largest distributors of army and nayy goods, and the concern enjoys a national repu tation, having a chain of stores throughout the country. W. S. Bradley is president of fhe company, and D. B. Traxler is secretary. SCHOOL HEALTH PLAN Would Keep Nurses Under Health Board Unless Schools' . Have Medical Head Declaring he wns, opposed to trans ferring the control of the health nurses serving In the county schools, from the board of health - to the board of edu cation, ' . unless the latter appoints a medical director, Dr. J." A. "Hamilton, county health officer, said last night that in this connection he disagreed with the proposal in the school survey delivered by Dr. Shelton Phelps to an audience at the courthouse Friday night. "Should the board of education de cide to place the nurses doing school work under the control of that board," Dr. Hamilton continued, "it would re quire the employment of Ave nurses by the board to perform this work: whereas, if the work is continued as it BEE-KEEPERS MEET IN CITY TOMORROW t v ' ; c.

WESTBROOK DIES AT GREENSBORO Prominent New Hanover Citizen Victim of Pneumonia IonK distance telephone message received in the city last night con veyed the news of the death of Giles W. westbrook, preeminent trucker and , planter of this county, which occurred at 8:45 o'clock last night at the home of his neice, Mrs. Ralph Sykes, in ' Greensboro, where Mr. Westbrook was 1 visiting. , " Shortly after arriving in Greensboro two weeks ago he developed pneu monia. After a few' days' sickness his condition grew very serious. Mrs Westbrook and her son, Richard W. I Westbrook.' being notified of Mr. West- brook's serkms illness, left Immediately for Greensboro and were with him . when the end came. The remains will arrive in the city this evening at 8 o'clock and will h taken to the home of Mrs. Robert f ivuarK, iivt jtrmcess street, neice of - the deceased. The funeral announcements-will be made tomorrow. Mr." Westbrook was in the sixty second jrear of his age. He has made , Ms home on Bradley's Creek for a number of years and was considered one of the largest and most successful truck growers ln this section. A num ber of years ago he represented New i t Hanover county in the state legisla ture. Surviving the deceased, beside.-, his - wife, Is a daughter, Mrs. Donald Pars ley, and a son, Richard W. Westbrook Mr. Westbrook is also r sister, Mrs. Alice Faucett, of Atlanta -and a brother, J. A. Westbrook. of . Mount Olive. The congregations of Trinity Meth odist and of the Church of the Cove nant, Presbyterian, will come together tonight for the first of the series of meetings for which ey have been preparing for some wteks; These meetings will be held each night for the next two weeks. To night there yi 11 be a song service at 7:46 o'clock under the leadership of a large chorus choir composed of the choirs of the two churches, assisted by many others. The preaching serv ice will begin at 8 o'clock, Rev. V. P. Scoville doing the preaching. On Monday night at the same hour. Dr. J. M. Wells will preach.. Dr. W. R. Bobyns will reachthe city on Tuesday and preach for the first time on Tuesday night. His com ing is awaited eagerly by a great many people, for he is a preacher with quite a wide reputation. For 20 years he served the great First Church of St. Paul, Mo., but just recently has succeeded the noted Dr. John McNeill at the South Highland Presbyterian church of Birmingham, Ala. Dr. Dobyns is not a professional H evangelist, but a gTeat pastor preacher. His strength lies in his sane presentation of the gospel in such a way that it lays hold of the hearts of men. He has always .been a favorite at the great conferences of religious workers, such as that at Montreat. He is a master when it comes to opening up the Scripture, it is said, and seems to make a very strong appeal to men especially. One who has heard him writes, "I shall never forget the impression -made upon me by Dr. Dobyns' address at Chattanooga and later at Memphis, "i shall never forget that great hall with its two or three thousand , men and that stillness as. of death while they hung oft every word that he said." Following are some elf Dr.' Dobyns' sayings: "No sort of reformation can save a soul or nation, it takes t the sacrificial blood of the Lamb of God to 'cleanse from all sins. It is adaptable to all classes and all conditions and is God's answer to the . cravings of all hearts." "What men need is not reformation, but salvation." "Peace cannot be purchased by en dowments or secured by human de liberations, peace worthy of the name can only be obtained through the cross of Jesus Christ. This is the peace for which the world is yearning and doesn't know it." "O yes, they are sinful and lost and unlovely. You may pay your clerk so poorly that he may be induced to steal. You may prosecute him and brand him as a criminal. You may grind the life out of the poor and turn them down, when they ask for help. You may scorn the soiled woman of the streets and segregate her behind a cordon of red lights in a veritable municipal hell and leave her there to rot. But while you are doing- it a voice of infinite tenderness and love noats down from Calvary through all mis simui woria saying-. Tell them I love them." In God's name shall we not do it." would Have to be employed to perform the required duties., as outlined by the Burvey.' Dr. Hamilton said the health depart ment had fccen furnishing the nurses ror tne school work, and he "thought this work should be continued under the jurisdiction of th board of health, unless the board of education decides to employ a medical director to super vise the nurses in their work. He stated that the board of health Is now employing two nurses, and there are three other nurses attached to the department who are paid by private parties. With the employment dent of the association. James H, Cowan, secretary of the chamber of commerce, will make the address of welcome to the two hundred or more members of the state association who are expected to be present. Besides the annual address of the president, C. L. Sams, extension specialist In beekeep ing, and R. A. Ratcliff will be speakers at the morning session. A feature of the afternoon session will be an address, "Beekeeping In Dixie," by J. J. Wilder, of Waycross, ed itor of the Dixie Beekeeper. Other speakers of the afternoon will be: C.

However, in the event the board of education decides to employ its own nurses, he said, the board would have to employ about five nurses to take of this work alone.
