O. Burgwin, in an Inter- t0 the reckless, driving; of ; automo- ; view yesterday,: "and I shall also m 'itroduce a measure making, the. position I J jot city attorney appointive instead of 'C-i elective, placing the power of appoint- I men- of this office back in the hands if of city council, ' where it was until a -bill was passed at a recent session of 1 the general assembly." i , As to the bill providing commission I government for" Wilmington, Senator ., Burg-win said nothing definite has de ' veloptfd in this connection since the v;Burgwin-Bellamy and Rnark eon- V.ference Saturday night, wheal ways and ' means for the enactment of a measure .establishing the , commission plan lor the administration of the, municipal - government of this oity, were dis- cussed. The senator said the bill ' creating a commission government for Wilmington haa not been drafted, but ' ' he intimated such a measure would "doubtless be introduced within the next v two or three weeks. 'Senator . Burgwin declared that "the .present general assembly is facing the , ' biggest, problems that have existed In -this state in a number of years, and V I believe Ssome real constructive legis lation, such , as . a bill providing- gpod ''roads and a law for the 'advancement of . education, will be enacted at the , present session. t The senator, explained that only , a 's.mall amount ' of work has thus far J been accomplished at the present ses ' , sion, for the reason, he said, rthe 'Inaugural plans .and the inauguration Itself consumed much time, but the members of the .assembly will now . get .down to hard work and results will ; ,be accomplished." Senator Burgwin '.'Was a member of the Inaugural oom mittee of 12. members,, and this oom ;mlttee had charge of arranging the de- tails for the momentous event. Senator Burgwin said that the aentl "ment in the general assembly .was 'very ! furthering of education, throughout j: "there . is a widespread idea pervading . ..in the- assembly that. the expenses of . ithe state government must, be i held j down, a good roads bill and an educa- iionai, diii win oe passed. tie saia ., i that, he had not seen either of these -measures, and he did not think these T- i bills had as yet been drafted. - . 'l ".In discussing the possibility of the ! revaluation act coming up before - the ''assembly, Senator Burgwin said -"there will be some effort put forth to strike some adjustment between . taxes . and ..expenditures, and a bill has been pre pared to . revise the Revaluation act f rdownward, or lowering the jtaxes thirty I and twenty per cent in the country, ;but I do not anticipate that any such .Jblir, will be passed, although some r-y modification of the 'Revaluation act tmay be made." :.,'. 'I have not heard anything regard -i lng the annexation of Topsail township by New Hanover county," he said, but ' "I will present a bill providing for ad "ditional civil terms of the Superior V court In New. Hanover countv. to re prieve the congestion on the docket." -Senator Burgwin advised that he did I cfnot think there was any chance of the i general assembly passing an act re ' (pealing the primary law. "The state I, wlde primary law," the senator con w tinned, ."provides that local . elections m must be held on the same date through ,3 out the state." ', . Senator Burgwin is a member of four h iof;.the most important committees, bo iling the -chairman of the senate's com i ! "ilt-tee on , counties, cities and towns; : . j heis also a member,of the -appropria-1 jttons committee, the judicial committee I and. the educational committee. -Besides, he is a member of the senit- ,'torial committee that, will . redistrict j North Carolina. The redistrlcting of , ,: the state, the senator inferred, "might i -change the present composition of the V tenth senatorial district, In which New j . Hanover is Included.'.' However, the ; j senator advised that nothing definite , : In .this connection was contemplated. ,1. -V.M.W.. j,u,swlll iniB morning , jfor, Raleigh, ito- resume his. senatorial uuneB iu inw. eiaie senate.- Representa tive, Bmmert Bellamy returned -to the capital Sunday night.- . - i i bilists. Judge Cranmer referred to the letter issued a short time ago by the Law and Order league, and said "if half the statements made in that docu ment, concerning conditions in Wil mington, are true, it is a serious matter and requires prompt and vigor ous action." , With reference to the prohibition laws, Judge Crahmer.-.jsaid: "We have a prohibition law upon our statutes; it matters. not what -you were a few years ago. but I am saying to you now that unless-you are a prohibitionist, you are not a good citizen. I have scant sympathy, gentlemen, for- those who are manufacturing selling or. dealing in this illicit business. ' They are in it for greed and they would sell your oy, my boy, or anybody's boy; they don't caVe whom they debauch, so long as they make money." .' ' " "The second thing to which I in vite your attention is gambling," the judge continued. "I don't know to what extent this vice exists in your community, but, if it exists, t should be stamped out, and, you gentlemen, should -do your part In seeing that it is stamped out. The good mothers ana fathers of the community have a right to demand that of you, and, If you gentlemen know . or' can ascertain by legal or proper method, "of gambling in your community, it is your duty to see tnat it is stopped. This does not mean to punish the little negro for throwing dice and let the while man go free. I am saying to you, gentle men of the. jury,' that if anyone in your community is violating the law against gambling, it is your duty to investir gate and make the proper . report, summoning such witnesses before you as your foreman may deem ' proper." Continuing his charge, Judge Cran mer said: "The. third' thing to which I direct your, attention is the reckless driving of automobiles..- I don't know to what extent you are .bothered here, hut I know this; during the years, be tween lg61 and 1865, there were three great battles fought, in which there were 11,500 persons killed, and we are told that in 1919, 11,550 people were killed by automobiles, ' or 50 in ex cess of all thosei killed in the three great Datties. The legal' rate .of speed per hour is 25 miles on the Dubllc highways and 18 miles In the residential sections of cities and towns. 10 miles in the . business section."" He charged that the reckless operation of automo biles be stopped. "In instruct you as a body,- or- by committee, to visit the jail, the coun ty 'home'," Judge Cranmer continued, "and-make a thorough and' careful 'in vestigation and submit a thorough and final v report of your ..findings '-I ask that when you go'to the county home that you lef a little hit of the milk of human kindness overflow, and shake hands with the unfortunates Out there. They are dependent upon .-you. and I to see that they are properly taken care of, so shake hands with them, give them a smile and let them know that we are genuinely interested in their welfare."

There was 'a total of lSh ' vessels, from foreign and coastwise ports, tp enter at the local custom bouse last year. The total tonnage of1 these ships was 313,876 tons.

These figures added show that there was a Jtotal of 281 vessels to en ter and1 clear, totalling 648,074 tons. Although the entire number of ves sels iarriving and departing does not compare with the totals of . former years when sailing-crafts were in their glory, but the .total tonnage of all the great number' of sailing, ships .to. make this port during any .one year, when Wilmington -was the -.larjrest - naval stores market in the. . world, - does, not come anywhere hear the total tonnage of the great steamers arriving here now during any 12 months. t , American Ships Come Back ' A notable fact shown in . the- com pilation just given out ait the custom house Is the number of American ships now engaged in the importing and ex porting' business.

The Boys' brigade was organized 25 years ago, February 14, by a number of boys composing a Sunday school class of (Immanuel Presbyterianchurclv Col. Walker Taylor was then teacher of the Sunday school class and pro posed to the boys,,the formation of the military organization as an inducing feature of the class. So well did the idea develop that soori the place alloted to the Sunday school class for nieetings would not accom modate the large number of boys and Colonel Taylor began, to look around for quarters for the military company. "Hearing of the splendid work being accomplished, the late Mrs.. Henry M. Flagler erected the Boys' brigade arm ory, Second and Churdn' streets.Mn 1904, as a memorial to her father, Capt. Wil liam R.
