sidered Yesterday..
AN AFTERNOON EXCURSION.
Reports from the Several Churches in
the State Where Societies Are Estab-lishcd-Ioterestloi
Talk hy Miss
Glenn Sermoa To-day.
Yesterday's session of the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society was prin
cipally devoted to the Bright Jewel
work of the society, which is juvenile
in its nature and under the superin
tendency of Mrs. L. L. Hendren, of
Newborn.
The morning meeting was held at 9
o'clock and was led by Mra: C P. Dey,
of Beaufort The devotional exercises
were by Mrs. Dey and Mrs. J. A. Cuq-
ninggim, of Ueaufort, president of
the Society of the North Carolina Con
ference. It was regretted much that
Mrs. Hendren was too unwell to be
present at the meetings especially de
voted to the work under her care, but
Mrs. R. A. Willis, of Elizabeth City,
took her place and admirably su
perintended the work temporarily
entrusted to her keeping. The
morning session was largely taken up
with hearing the report from the sev
eral Bright Jewel societies all over
the State as follows: Greenville, Wash
ington, Tarboro, Rocky Mount, Rock
ingham. Aberdeen, Gibson, Hasty,
Fayetteville, Pittsboro, Roxboro,
Warrenton, Jonesboro, Macon. Ridge
way, Cleraine, Littleton, Murfraes

burg, Weldan, Wilmington, Durham,
Chapel Hill, Lees burg, Raleigh, Louis -burg,
Franklinton, Apex, Cary,
Four Oaks, Salem, Bullock, Shilob,
Newbern, Golds boro.
Mrs. Hendren's report was read in
her absence, and the president called
attention to a suggestion in the same
of having a committee appointed for
each auxiliary to meet with the Juve
nile Society and report to the auxil
iary in order to awaken discussion
and interest in the work.
Upon motion of Mrs. F. D. Swin
dell, of Golds boro, it was ordered that
the suggestion be incorporated in the
report to the committee on juvenile
work.
Talks anent the subject under con
sideration were made by Mrs.. M. J.
Pemberton, of Fayetteville, and Miss
Glenn of Brazil. Mrs. Swindell sug
gested that the Bright Jewel official
organ should be taken in the Sunday
schools and explained at length the
Morphus Wood scholarship, dedicated
to Mrs. Wood, one of the first mis
sionaries from North Carolina.
Mr.s Swindell delivered a pleasing
message to the gathering of Bright
Jewels from Dr. Annie Fearn, who.
has always manifested great interest
in this branch of missionary work.
Upon motion. Mrs. Hendren ("Aunt
Lizzie") was instructed to forward a
vote of thanks to Mrs. Fearn and in
compliment to her fidelity to the'
cause her little daughter was made an
honorary life member of the Bright
Jewell Society of the Conference.
Theaddreis of welcome was deliver
ed by Miss Alice Craft, of Wilming
ton, in very pleasing terms and was
responded to by Miss Bessie Edwards,
of Goldsboro, in behalf of the visi
tors. Miss Layona Glenn, returned mis
sionary from Brazil, made an interest
ing talk to the representatives of the
Bright Jewel societies of the confer
ence and this was followed by the
singing of "Coming to Gather His
Jewels."
The closing exercises were by Mr?.
B. B. Adams.
Excursion Yesterday Afternoon.
At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
visitors were entertained with an ex
cursion aboard the steamer Wilming
ton as the special guests of Capt J. W.
Harper, the clever master of the boat
Quite a number of the visitors availed
themselves of the kindness of Capt
Harper and enjoyed an hour and more
oi genuine pleasure on the rip about
the river.
Last Mint's Session.
Last night's session was not a long
one and it was especially designated
as "An Evening With Missionaries."
Letters of especial interest were read
from Miss Mary T. Pescud, Brazil;
Miss Lizzie Martin, China; Misses
Emma Page and Elizabeth Davis, of
the Scarrett Bible and. Training School,
of Kansas City, Mo.
This morning at 11 o'clock Rev. R.
F. Bumpass will preach the annual
sermon, and this afternoon will be
I taken up with Bright Jewel exercises.
There will be a short meeting Monday
morning, at which the decision where
to hold the next meeting will be made.
This will most likely be the last meet
ing. Conference Postpened.
The Stab is authorized by Mr. P.
Heinaberger, secretary of the execu
tive committee, to say that it is found
necessary to postpone the meeting of
the Inter-denominational Sunday
School Conference, which was to have
been held next Friday evening. May
18th, until the first or second Friday
night in June. The postponement is
made necessary by the sickness of
prominent members who will be un
able to attend.
Sunday school superintendents are
requested to call attention to tp post
ponement at their several meetings to
day. '

The occasion was one of especial in
terest and pleasure to those who had

of the armory and the presentation ad

Dr. Carmichael's speech was especially
pleasing, eloquent and replete with
beautiful sentiments regarding his de
voted friend and distinguished Wil
mingtonian. !
As Dr. Carmichael was speaking
and the climax in his remarks I was
reached, Master Robert Cowan Davis,
grandson of Hon. George Davis; and
also grandson of Col. Robert H
Cowan, unveiled the handsome por
trait and Dr. Carmichael in conclud
ing made more directly the. speech of
presentation, which abounded in beau
tiful thought and commemoration in
terest. Mr. W. L. Parsley, president of
the Daughters of the Confederacy, in
a few well received words of grateful
appreciation, accepted the gift in be
half of the organization, after which
those present were given an opportu
nity ! of reviewing more closely ! the
splendid work of art, which was exe
cuted as Stab readers will remember.
by Mrs. Devereux Lippitt, Wilming
ton's accomplished artist

securely packed and will be forwarded
early this week to Richmond where

THE STRAWBERRY MOVEMENT.
Estimated That 200,000 Crates Have Been
Shipped from Wilmington's Belt.
Yesterday's strawberry shipments
were not so large as usual on Satur
day, but quite a large number went
forward by the Fruit Growers' Ex
press and the Southern Express Com
pany. While no definite figures are
obtainable, the shipments by the Fruit
Growers' Express yesterday from the
territory contiguous to Wilmington
aggregated about eighty cars, or 24,000
crates of 33 quarts each. In addition
to the above, the Southern Express
shipments will probable increase the
number to 27,500 crates.
It is generally conceded that the
present season has been profitable to
the berry, growers and they have
enjoyed unsurpassed refrigerating
facilities through the medium of
the Fruit Growers' Express. The ser
vice afforded by the Southern Express
Company has also been excellent and
there are no shippers by this route but
sing the praises of Mr. J. J. Cros
well, the enterprising route agent on
the Wilmington & Weldon Riilroad,
who by personal effort and solicita
tion has done much for his company
and for the people.
It is believed that as yet no consign
ments have been sold at a loss and all
appear satisfied with the magnifi
cent schedule maintained by the trans
portation companies.
It is estimated that as many as 200,
000 crates were handled from the Wil
mington trucking belt during the
past week, which if sold even so low
as $9.00 per crate of 32 quarts would
bring $600,000. Most of the shipments
this season have been to New York.
Mineral of Mrs. Wescott.
The remains of the late Mrs. L. G.
Wescott, whose death was announced
in this paper yesterday, were taken on
the steamer yesterday morning to
Southport and interred in the family
lot in the cemetery there in the pres
ence of a large number of friends of
the aged lady and her family. The
funeral services were from the Bap
tist church by the pastor, Rev. Mr.
Edwards.
Upon the arrival of the steamer at
Southport the following gentlemen
acted as pall-bearers: Messrs. J. R.
Newton, T, M. Morse, T. G. Burriss,
Edward Tharp, G.' M Savage, Joe
Daniels, Leon Fulwood and A. J.
Rabbins. '

The moonlight excursion on tpis-

tug Buck, which is now engaged in
freighting rice from the plantations

that this water course has been great
ly improved recently by the govern
ment engineering force. A good depth

to help toi feed
soma of the millions
of people who are
actually starving in India. Only, j I
think, at least $1,000. ought to be raised
by a community like ours, x our cor
respondent seems to have overlooked
the fund that was raised and sent off
by the Messenger a week or so j ago,
which amounted to something over
$100. I contributed what I felt able to
that fund, but I will also contribute ten
dollars to your fund if you will make
it up to $100 ; and if you will make it
up to $500, 1 will make my contribu
tion $25. The .trouble about such sub
scriptions is that many people think if
they can't give much, . they need not
give at all; when, in. fact, a large num
ber of small contributions aggregate as
much as a few large ones. Urge every'
body to contribute, if only a : small
amount each. Five! cents will save! a
child's life 1 It seems to me the Chris
tian churches all ought to take up spe
cial collections for this great and ap
pealing need.
