"The report of the Treasurer shows that the total receipts from all sources during the year, including the sale of i,7UU,uuu or the Yadkin Division bonds and the fll9.877.S4 received from the current assets of the Atlantic & Yadkin Railway, were $4,263,094.- 83, and that his total disbursements, i Deluding the amount paid for the Yadkin Division, were $4,172,820.96. thus increasing the current assets of the company to the amount of $90,- 273,87 as compared with the amount at the end of the previous fiscal year. "Acting under the authority of the stockholders, given by resolution adopted at the last annual meeting, the Board of Directors have caused a Relief Department to be established by this company, which is operated under the name of the Atlantic Coast Line R-lief Department. By agreement with this company, similar Relief De partments established by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company of South Carolina, the Atlantie-Coast Line Rail road Company of Virginia, and the Norfolk and Carolina Railroad Company, have been associated witn this Company's .depart ment, so that the four are now conducted under one and the same management, thus materially re ducing the cost and expense to each, and greatly increasing the efficiency of the undertaking. The object of the relief department is the establishment and management of a fund known as a relief fund for the payment of defl mte amounts to employes contributing thereto, who are known as members of the relief fund, when, under the regulations, they are entitled to such payment oy reason 01 acciaentor uck ness, or in the event of their death, to the relatives or other beneficiaries designated by them with the approval of the superintendent. Appreciating the value and importance or this protec tion to their emoloves. the several companies above named have agreed to contriDute in proper proportions the expenses of operating the depart ment and to make good aenciences, if any, that my from time to time exist in the Relief Fund, so that the contriDuiions irom employes, income derived from investments and from interest on its deposits and advances made by the company, when necessary, to pay benefits as they become ane, are neia to constitute the Relief Fund applica ble alone to the payment of the bene fits as above recited. Under the able management of its superintendent, this department has been most successfully established. Hav ing started on the nrat aay of April 1899, the report or the superintendent shows that at the end of the fiscal year, September 30th, 47.64 per cent, of the company's em ployes had Decome members, uub hospital is now in process of construc tion at South Rocky Mount for the use of this department, and it is contem nlaUd that others will be constructed at convenient points on the lines of the roads interested, as they may be found necessary in the future, and the usefulness of this department will be increased from time to time so as to secure to its beneficiaries, the em ployes of the road, the best possible result."

WILLIAM HENRY SH0LAR. Died at His Home la Wilmlsrtoo. Early Yesterdsy Morals. FnnersI sad In termest This Afternoon. It will be with no little degree of genuine regret that the many friends of Mr. William Henry Sholar will hear of his death, which occurred at his residence, corner Third and Castle streets yesterday morning at 7:50 o'clock.' Mr. Sholar was 65 years of age and had baen in very poor health for about a year, suffering at times with the most acute attacks of rheuma tism and being for a part of the time confined exclusively to his room. For the past several months he gradually grew worse and despite the most skill ed medical attention, his afflictions culminated in his death, yesterday morning. Mr. Sholar was born in Wilming ton. April 10th. 1834. and has since resided here. He was a man of many exemplary traits and was well and fa vorably known in the city. For a pe riod of eight years he was superinten dent of streets and discharged his du ties in a capable and painstaking man ner, no nas oeen engagea in various pursuits previous to and since that time. He was twice married in early life to Miss Hattie Kershaw, of Fayette- ville, and after her death, on Feb. 3, 1897, to Miss Amelia Cornwall, of Wilmington. The first union; was blessed with ten children, three daughters and four sons, surviving him. They are Mrs. C. B. Allen, Mrs. B. F. King, of Wilmington; Mrs. C. F. Norwood, of Macon, Ga; Messrs. John T. and Hiram W. Sholar, of Wilmington, and Mr. H. Wiley Sholar, A. C. L. train dispatcher at Tarboro, N. C. He also leaves to mourn their loss a sorrowing wife and one sister.

Whst Is Tslked Abont In Associstlon Cir cles Work of Woman's Anxlllsry. A Camera Club and Literary Soci ety will be organized Friday night at the Y. M. C. A. Association mem bers are earnestly requested by Secre tary Caldwell to connect themselves with the Literary Society if not the Camera Club. The Lecture Committee of the Associ- tion has decided to open to single admis sion the next entertainment of the Star course, which will be Fodett's Woman Orchestra, December 14th. The price for this attraction has been reduced from $L25 to $1.00. The committee has also decided to open all other attractions of the Star course to single admissions and to reduce the price to 75 cents. The guarantee was at first made that this would not be done, but owing to the large number of subscribers to the course who failed to call for the tickets, this method had to be resorted to to save the Associa tion from a financial loss. The Light Committee is considering the practicability of placing arc lights in the halls and auditorium of the building. The regular monthly meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary was held in the parlors Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. The first work of the Aux iliary for the winter will consist of efforts to improve the furnishing of the building as far as possible and the officers express the hope that a large number of women will join the Aux iliary In order to assist -in this much needed work.

Mr. Windley by his zealous and faithful work, has endeared himselj to many Wilmington . people who will hear with regret the announcement that he is to leave the field here, but at the same time it will be a source of gratification to them to know that the field here has been abandoned to take up a much larger and more important work in Philadelphia. The Stab learns that another assistant for St. James' parish has not yet been selected. The new charge was recently visited by Mr. Windley and after preaching there, a call was immediately extend ed to him. Locsl Shipping.
