AN EXCELLENT START
Wilmington Travelling Men's As
sedation Auspiciously Or
ganized Cast Night.
AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING.
Q. J. Boney Elected President Will Adopt
Constitution and By-Laws Next Sat
orday Night Remarks by Pres
ident Boney and Mr. Jacobi.
The Wilmington Travelling Men's
Association was organized in the
room 8 of the Merchant's Association
last night under most encouraging
auspices. There was a good attendance
and the spirited speeches and great
enthusiasm manifested gives abundant
assurance that a vast amount of good
toward the upbuilding and populariz
ing of Wilmington as a wholesale cen
ter will be accomplished through the
well directed and united efforts of the
army of "knights of the grip" who
travel from Wilmington.
At the meeting last night officers
were elected and a committee on con
stitution and by-laws appointed. The
latter are to report a constitution and
by-laws for adoption to an adjourned
meeting of the Association to be held
on next Saturday night, September
30th.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr. L. B. Rogers, who placed Mr. G
J. Boney in nomination as temporary
chairman. Later in the proceedings
Mr. Boney was elected to the presi
dency of the Association. Mr. F. S.
Westbrcok was chosen secretary.
In accepting the chairmanship Mr.
Boney expressed great appreciation
for the honor, and strongly em
phasized the importance of the move
ment looking to the organization of
traveling men for the advancement
of the interests of the city. The
sole reason for his remaining in the
city last mgnt was, ne said, in order
that he might be present at the meet
ing. He expressed unbounded faith
in me association for tne accom
plishment of good by such an organ
ization, composed principally as it
would be of young men. Then, toj,
in advancing the interests of the city
they were benefitting themselves by
extending and increasing theic trade
which could but result in increased
salaries for them. He urged the trav
elling men to stand together, thor
oughly familiarize themselves with
Wilmington's vast industries, re
sources, possibilities, and keep them
constantly before the people with
whom they come in contact throughout
the country.
Mr. Marcus W, Jacobi was present
and was called upon to ex
press his views, which he did
with his usual forcefulness and enthu
siasm for the city's interests. He re
ferred to the vast harbor capacit3- of
the port, the business already trans
acted especially theextensivo wholesale
trade in dry coods, hardware, groceries
and other merchandise, the excellent
railroad facilities and in many in
stances uninvaued territory in which
Wilmington houses can do a profit
able business. He asserted that the
business meu of the city are just wak
ing up to the possibilities that are right
about their do 3rs and to the fact that
the opportunity for a golden harvest
is at hand. Reference was made to
excellent work being done by the
Ci.amb rof Cmmerr, the Merchant's
Association and the Tariff Association,
e.ich of wh:ci are accomplishing
much for Wil-nington's weal in
tVir particular spheres. The work
beiDgdo'jn t ." i.!ie Tariff Association in
securing more just railroad rates for
Wilmington as compared with those
in vogue fro n competitive points was
especially emphasized. He said it is
not eenerally known, but is neverthe
less true that such railroad rates haye
already been secured as will admit of
Wilmington wholesale merchants en
tering every section of North Caro
lina as a successful competitor for
other wholesale markets. Travelling
men were urged to let no opportunity
pass for enthusiDg the people of the
State with love for and confidence in
their chief seaport city.

Superior Court.
Sheriff McRae heard nothing yester
day relative to the coming of Judge
Bryan on Monday to convene New

a letter received several days ago, is
that he will not get here. Court will
be convened and adjourned from day
to day, however, by the Sheriff until
he does arrive, which will be not later
than the middle of the week. As
stated in yesterday's paper, Judge
Bryan is engaged in a long murder
trial at " Kinston. The Free Press,
however, stated yesterday that the
case had been given to the jury, but
concludes its account of court pro
