At the last meeting of the North Caro lina State Firemen's Association held in Durham, August 25th, a new Constitu tion and By-Laws was adopted, which requires that the membership shall be by companies, and the initiation fee $5 for each company, and the dues 50 cents per capita on each name on the roll of the company. This entitles you to the benefits to be derived from the "Fire men's Relief Fund," which is $2 per day for every day you are sick or disabled and not able to attend to your regular husiness. or. in case of death, to receive $250 and $50 funeral expenses. Of course this will not apply only while on duty, answering an alarm. 'I sendyou blank applications for membership, and hope vou will give them out to your several companies, and " insist on their sending them in at once, properly filled out, as the money is for the benefit of the firemen, if they will avail themselves of it by complying with the require ments. I hope that you will see that your companies are all members. A great many have already joined, and in case of any accident, are entitled to the bene fits. So take warning, and don't watt till some of ybur men are disabled or killed, but attend to it at once. Yours very truly. , J. W. Griffith, Secretary and Treasurer. ing day. Major Wilson informed a Star re porter that they had no regular appoint ment, but it is presumed that the Com mission will bear complaints bearing on the matters it has in charge. The Star wishes these prominent North Carolinians a pleasant sojourn in this "queen city by the sea. A W orthy Episode. There was a touching tribute paid to the christian character and great pas toral and oersonal DODularitv of Rev. Dr. W. S. Creasy at the parsonage yes terday evening. Many of his friends met there and presented to Dr. Creasy a splendid solid silver service of six pieces, artistically engraved in new and striking designs, especially adapted to the character of the gift, with his ini tials and those of his good wife appear ing in a monogram on each piece. It was an episode worthy of donors and donee. Dr. Creasy, who has been the well-beloved pastor of Grace M. E. church for four years, will leave for his new charge in Charlotte this morning. riage from Baltimore to this city. A subscriber to the Baltimore Sun writes: "Referring to the paper of Mr. Edward Stabler, Jr., on the subject of vitrified bricks for street paving, I wish to say that while I think he is wrong in some of his statements the paper is in the right direction,, for without doubt it is the coming pavement. The vitrified brick is a name only, and has been called such for over forty years; but the brick for paving should not be vkrified, but mineralized. - If they were yitnfied they would be fused, or in other words glass, but being made of material of . different sorts there is always enough hre clay used tor keep them from fusing. They are burnt with an intense heat, fully 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit, that would fuse most any material alone without the fire clay. Mr. Stabler does not seem to know that there is a company, with head quarters in this city, for the manufac ture ot these bricks, and the company will be ready to deliver the product in the coming spring. The materials have been made up and burnt by the fire Retort Company at JLocust foint. ana are known as the Hayden brick. Some of them are now being put down on Calvert street, between Chase and tsid- ' die streets. The proper size, as proven by experience, is 24 by 9 oy 4 inches. In Pittsburg one side ot a street was paved twelve years ago with bricks and the other side with Belgian blocks. Notwithstanding truckmen used the brick pavement because of its smooth ness, it is still far better than the Belgian block side." Beport of the Ladies' City Benevolent So ciety. Wilmington, Dec. 8, 1891 Our an nual meeting having been unavoidably postponed from November to Decem ber, we desire now to bring our report to the notice of all interested in our city work, v - There has been as much interest taken in this Society during the year lust closed as ever before by those who have attended the meetings, but the number has been few, and at times some have felt discouraged that our membership should be so small. There are two good reasons for this falling off, one is the existence of the circles of King's Daughters in our midst, the other the more systematic effort of the different churches for benevolent work. Still, the existence of a general city society is an essential need in every community. I feel glad to know other societies for charity have been formed in our city. They are needed, but I am not willing to see this long time nonorea organiza tion cease to exist. And in this con nection I do plead for help tor our wor thy poor, to be disbursed throagh this channel of benevolence. The exper ience of those who have been members of this society for years, enables them to work with more judgment than those who are beginners, for they are better acquainted with existing wants. We have our "Catharine Kennedy Home," or old ladies' Rest, under our care, and now, after our losses by the failure of the bank, are there not many who will lend us their aid to sustain this noble1 charity in our midst? The inmates of this Home are entirely una ble to pay rent regularly, and they are persons " who, if we permit them to go to the public alms house, would suffer for lack of those little attentions they now receive from friends who are with in reach of them. We have received letters from Charlotte and Thomasville during the year inquiring as to our plan of conducting our work, showing those places feel the need of a city society. Returning our thanks for the aid ren dered this society, we submit the follow ing: Contributions in money $103 53 Membership fees it ao H. M. Comer, a Savannah cotton factor, says:. "I don't think the crop will be a heavy one, I think the general esti mate of 7,500,000 bales is about correct. There would .hardly be a heavy crop with out heavy receipts, but heavy receipts just now do ' not necessarily indicate a large crop. The farmers were burned so badly by holding last year that they will not listen to a word about holding this vear. It would be advisable for farmers who have paid their debts to hold back the rest of their crop for a month or two. It would help the .mar ket and enable them to get a better price. When cotton is poured in to us at the rate of 20,000 bales a day it is lm possible to hold it, and all we can do is to sim ply pass it on. lhe cotton will have to be held in the country if held at all." - One Square One Day..; lwo uays.
