Banitr, well known architect f this city and owner of the Wrights fill'e Beach waterworks system. He ne of the resort's largest property wners. Mr. Bontiz says that since the Beach anderwent the severe storm, which trashed away sand from the sea front ind from underneath the cottages at the resort, he has kept a close tab ftn the ground elevations to ascertain !f nature was replacing any of the washed portions. He says that recent measurements show that even in this ihort while a considerable amount of the sand has Deen, replaced. To show conclusively whether the biach was continuing to wash or if '.he waves were refilling the washed places, Mr. Bonitz made marks at several places along the beach. There narks show that at a point near the Parsley cottage the fill amounted to ibout fifteen inches. ' Under the Han aver Inn the sand has come back to the extent of about twelve inches, tvhile there has been a refill of nine Inches beneath the Bridgers cottage. Mr. Bonitz firmly believes that with in a short time nature will have com pletely replaced the sand from the washed portions of Wrlghtsville Beach, however he heartily favors the pro posed construction of a system of jet ties which will not "only pf event the resort f rom being washed by more storms but will tend to cause the Beach to expand, making the width of . the isle to grow wider.

The customs house yesterday reported the arrival of . one cargo ship and an nounced that two other vessels are due to arrive at the port of Wilmington during the next few days. The big French steamer Kagera ar rived yesterday from Dunkirk, Eng land, with a large cargo of potash salts, which is being discharged at. the terminals of the Wilmington Ware house company. The Kagera is one of the largest vessels that has visited this port in some time and she made the trip from England to the United States in remarkably short time. The speed of the Kajrera Is considerablv faster than the ordinary cargo ship. The American steamer Wauwatose, which is now several days overdue at this port, is reported to have run short of bunker .coal and put into Hampton Roads have her supply replenished The Wauwatose has aboard a cargo of potash salts and sailed f rom ; South ampton, England. The American steamer Saxon, with a cargo of sulphur taken aboard at Texas City, Tex., is now enroute to Wilmington. This ship is expected to arrive in port Saturday of this week.. The new tanker San Lamberto, built at the George A. Fuller Carolina ship yard, left the docks of the builders yesterday afternoon for her initial sea trials. The tanker will lay at anchor I at.Southport until this morning, and then put. to sea. The San Lamberto was escorted down the river by the tug Blanche. FUND IS SHY $2,900 AS FIRST DAY CLOSES Although the canvassers for the Young Men's Christian association 9, 000 drive did not on yesterday succeed In getting this amount, the directors of the association are by qo means dis heartened and will carry on during the next-few days in hopes of having sub- - Scribed the $2,900 remaining necessary to reach the goal. Figures complied at the Y. M. C. A. last, night by Gen eral Secretary J. B. Huntington showed the workers had reported approxi mately $6,100 at the close of the can vass yesterday. j ;- Secretary Huntington states that the Y. 'M. C. A. is due the members of the Rotary and Kiawanis clubs and" the many .friends of the association who conducted the drive, a. debt of grati tude, for their splendid efforts yester day. He said that because the entire , $9,000 was not secured on the, one day as.it was hoped it would, be. was bv nv jncBiio inwr laun, ai every worker . did his share of the work. The only unfortunate feature, aays Secretary Huntington, is that the board of directors of the Y, M. C. A. will necessarily have to curtail some of the work planned for the ensuing year if the remaining small amount is not subscribed. He says that although the Rotarians and Kiwanians will not, their work having been completed yes terday, the friends of the association will continue , the drive that the full $9,000 might be secured. . There are several canvassers who had not reported the results of their U forts at a, late hour last .nlghf, and It is believed wtien their amounts are turned in the total' will be given a con eldetable boost.

The building is of Colonial type, two stories high, with basement. The second is a mezzanine floor, with sev eral offices opening into the space where the light floods in through a huge skylight. An arc blast lighting scheme is employed throughout the working or counting room. On the lower floor are the general offices and the offices of various official. Juot to the right of the Front street en trance is the" office of Dr. James Sprunt and William H. Sprunt while to the left Is a reception room. Marble is used extensively on the interior of the build sylvanta and is trimmed with terra cot ta and Indiana limestone. Specially designed and elaborate lighting fix tures are Installed in ' the building, which has every banking accomodation, frem a huge vault to the self locking cashier's case. The architect and supervisor of the building is H. E. fBontiz, -of this elty, while the consult ing architect is Kenneth Murchison. of New York. The cost of the structure is approximately $75,000 and it is one of the handsomest office buildings in the south, and is the only one if its kind in North Carolina. It has a front age of 66 feet, on Front street and runs back 78 feet along Walnut street. Founder's Principle The firm of Alexander Sprunt and Son, Incorporatedi is founded, on the principle of square dealing, its founder having always practiced that principle. That feature is given entire credit by members of the . corporation for the company's substantial growth to la place of importance ' in the business affairs of the world. At the dedica tion yesterday divine blessings were bestowed upon the firm,- through in dividual member's, so that it might con tinue to do good and prosper. It was recalled yesterday that, in addition to hisr export activities, Dr. James Sprunt was British vice- consul - for the local port for a period of 30 years. Yesterday, following the dedication of the new office building. Dr. James Sprunt was asked to tell of some of the impressions he has gained during his. long and successful business ca reer. He was requested to relate any instances of importance bearing upon critical situations during his career of 55 years. in business in Wilmington. He said that after the firm was fully established and connections were made throughout the United States and Europe wherever cotton was sold of used, he recalled on one occasion of loading five steamers at one time at the Champion compress, all of large tonnage, with 10.000 to' 20,000 bales each, and that-, these, five, steamers were cleared for five : different, coun tries In Europe practically at one time. within a day or two. . " I- "This indicated the broad scope of business" developed up to that time. Another incident, which might be men tioned,; not in" a" spirit; of egotism" or braggadocio, came to lSght today during the remdval of the offices in the shape of ;an old circular letter to all" em ployes and agents in Wilmington and other cities of North Carolina and South Carolina, especially urgingjhose who. were depositors in Wilmington banks against any.show or appearance or lack of .confidence- ln the. banks dur ing -.the panic prevailing in 1907--and guaranteeing the -r integrity v of . Wil mington banks and the; depositors in our employ -against, ' loss-of their de posits. This .was .putting the . cart before the horse, . and the fact ' that we kept on fbuying' eo.tton straight through the . panic and. . . paying - full prices for.

' , '- ' -Small .BetrlnningM "The origiharcapital bf this firm was less' than: $5,000,?. saved . out of the wreck of the civil, war, from which de veloped the - actual handling and, ship-, ment , from Wilmington alone in - one year of 530,000 bales ; of spoticottort. This ' was- accomplished within 1 the twelve months in 'the ; j years . during In the Cape Fear and on the bar was no ' sufficient to float safely the most desirable class of vessels for the ex port trade, and shipowners were slow to trust their vessels upon a torturous stream In shallow water with only three feet rise of tide. Moreover, the capital of the firm was ymited. and their business was conducted strictly on the conservative principles laid down by the founder of the firm which still bears his name; but in the end caution and perseverance established confidence and brought success. It is a remarkable fact that from the be ginning of the firm in 1865-66 up to ing, this being quarried in Alabama, f the Prfent time although hundreds The building is constructed of rad mlV,ns of, do"ars . h tapestry brlckf manufactured In Penn- IruI h and their branches in Boston.

The Champion compress and warehouse is chiefly owned and operated by them. The plant is among the best and most complete in the south, representing a large outlay In capital, and it Is so conveniently arranged as to afford the most improved facilities for the load ing and unloading of five large steam ers simultaneously. "It is noteworthy that the partners in the Boston office, Houston office and ln the Havre firm were all trained from boyhood in the Wilmington of fice: Mr. William H-' Sprunt. now the most active partner, having been born in Wilmington. It has been a Wil mington business, first and last, fortu nate in its operations and beneflcient in itsi results. "All through life Mr. Sprunt has had close, association with the Cape Fear river and the bark bearing his hopes and fortunes has had Its "home on the bosom of the historic' stream, Nofc. only his business. . but the pleasures and happy incidents of his daily life have been so blended with its waters that 'be cherishes a warm affection for the river Itself. Thus he has been minded to preserve its traditions and its tales the preparation being Indeed a labor of love, undertaken in a spirit of grateful return for the many bless ings he has enjoyed both at his home in the city and his home at the Orton, which alike are redolent with delight ful reminiscence." If the North Carolina general as- sem?v?y, s.o" wills. Topsail township, Pen der .county, will be annexed by New Hanover, 'the board of commissioners of Ne.w.Hanoyer yesterday afternoon unanimously voting in favor of annex ation. . The - action of the commission ers camfc after a delegation from Top saiI. .J.i.C. Nixon, Ivpy W. Sidbury, F. M.,F,oy, ,R. ., L. Foy and R. T. Shingle' ton had. made overtures in 'behalf of 98 per cent "of the population of Topsail they represented. , Under the terms .of the resolution adopted by the commissioners, Topsail township shall continue to levy and collect all special school taxes voted in the various districts, and the board of New.Hanover county shall have the right to, sell-all road bonds heretofore voted! by Topsail township. The terms of the New . 'Hanover commissioners were quickly accepted by the delega tion, whose next duties will be to properly, prepare and get through the legislature a bill reassigning Topsail to N,rw- .Hanover. Sbrne very , Interesting facts were were' brought out by the delegation artd" by; Rev. J. J. Crowley and Dr. L. B, Sass'er, local citizens, during the hearipg.; The towvnship is nearly one half as large as all of New Hanover county,"itS territory, being between 104 and. J.20 square miies. Five postoffices are in'Topsaii; they beins: Scott's Hill, Hampstead, Vista,-1 Sloopoint and Top saih ' Two-thirds of the population is east of the railroad running through the township and a major part of the land is in cultivation, it was pointed out: 1 ' Topsail's population Is between 2,000 and 2, Z00, and it has a property valua tion of . $1;748;950, " with no township debts;', unless, the road bonds recently voted, and which Avill be . issued by the New" Hanover commission, if annexa tion goes through, are counted. .'There are t ten '.townships in Pander county and members of the delegation " asserted yesterday .that Topsail paid one-seventh of the county's, taxes and got nothing in return. If they wished schools, they asserted, they had to issue bonds, and it was the same hy improved roads. If New Han over didnt' want Topsail. -why Topsail would bdrrow a little territory from an adjoining county and create a new one; that was the outspoken sentiment of the delegation. The township, years ago, was a part of New Hanover county and for various reasons, was transferred to -Pender. Wilmington is more readily accessible than is Bur gaw, in fact this seems more like "their" county to Topsail folk than does Pender. Hence the determined effort to get back within the fold, which, by action of the commission yesterday, is given added impetus. Members of the delegation request ing annexation, asserted that the work of preparing the bill to gain the desired end would be 'hurried and would probably be before the solons within a few days. FINAL PREPARATIONS FOR HOSPITAl ilVE GET STARTED 0M At 6:30 This Evening Meeting of Workers Will Be Held At Variety Lunch Roont . Final preparations will get under ( way at a meeting tonigh 'for: v the' $100,000 drive citizens will make'nextl week for the James Walker Meritorial j hospital. -At 6:30 the executivoom- mittee will confer with the leaders ofj the men's and women's divisions and j all team captains relative to the cam-J paign and plans will be laid for a big inauguration of the project next Tues day. Preceding the meeting will be a I supper and thr scene will be the Va riety lunch room, on Market street, near Second, and. there,, too, . will be held the daily luncheon during the drive, when all the teams will jmeet each 'day and make, their reports. 1 The meeting tonight will be a- de-l cidedly informative and interesting1 one. Georj?e B. Elliott, general chair man of the campaign, and Rev. Frank Taov mrliA. Ti i -l - 4-Via a v n i t tr a - rvrvi mittee, will probably have a-word of advice to say to the captains and the I campaign in its working 'as to the I canvass will be fully explained. With strong endorsements "of the ! campaign from the Ministerial asso ciation and the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, as well as a pledge of co-operation and support . from these organ izations, the workers fell decidedly op timistic about the- Outcome. .They realize that the sum ' sought is large and that the time maynbt be the most propitious, but they also feel," they de clare, that the public, 'is appreciative of the great work that, has been done by the James Walker-Memorial hos pital and that this is the very first time that the institution lias ;- ever sought .the aid of the public: Hereto fore a few citizens have borne all of the burden and these few" citizens, commencing .with . the beneficence of the late James Walker,, who left a be quest for building the structure, have struggled" to bring the hospital to its present state of efficiency. But the need is so great now, in order that the Institution may meet the requirements of the community, that it is necessary to make an appeal that must be heeded, declare those who have so willingly and gladly obligated themselves to lay aside their own private affairs next week and engage in the drive. Many words of commendation and encoui agement have reached the ex ecutive committee, which makes the committee feel good over the project and confident that a grateful public will respond and make the campaign a rousing success. CHARGE JIM CROW LAW IS VIOLATED ON CARS Complaint Lodged as to Practice On Shipyard Cars TARS STAGE SPARRING SHOW ON DOCK TONIGHT Seven , Matches 26 Rounds, to Constitute Show . That the "Jim Crow" law is being violated on the Carolina Shipyards line of the Tidewater Power company was the sum and substance of a complaint lodged yesterday at police headquarters and immediately referred to General Manager Raymond Hunt, pf the power company, for investigation and disposi tion. According to the complaint made the police, nearroes have been crowding to the front of the carB and forcing white women to take ' the rear spats. The complalntant asserted ,that the violation of the state "Jim Crow" law. calling for separation of persons of the two races oh common carriers, was called to the attention of the motorman but that employe "either refused or failed to correct conditions." General Manager Hunt, of the trac tion company, promised police depart ment officials an Immediate investiga tion of the complaint. TOO PREVIOUS ON DATE NAMED IN BOOZE CHARGE 'December, 1921," Too Vague in Recorder's Court Unable to prove the date of, an al leged sale of whiskey was in Decem ber, 1921, a bill of indictment charging Bonnie Pearce with violating "the pro hibition laws was quashed in recorder's court yesterday morning. The war rant charged the sale of 'whiskey in December of this year, some 10 months removed, and the prosecution was un able to arrive at any more conclusive date, hence the action of Deputy Re corder John J. Furlong in heeding the plea of counsel for the defense for quashing. A charge of larceny against Herbert Cunningham was changed to trespass aiid the defendant was sentenced to serve a term of 30 days on the county roads. John Thomas, arraigned under a charge of house breaking, was bound over to the coming term of superior court for the trial of criminal cases under bond of $500. In the absence of Recorder George Harriss, who is in Raleigh on business, the deputy recorder presided.
