Doran, of the Vir ginia-Noith Carolina Base Ball League, than whom there is no more ardent' promoter of sport -: in the- two States arrived ' in the city last evening from Raleigh and last night attheBlaV dub-fee had & conference with a. number of local enthusiasts relative to Wilmington's - proposed team in the new organization which, with the proper encouragement and actual support, seems now a certainty. Secretary Doran went carefully over each detail of the requirements of the new league and it is expressing it mildly to say that all present were highly elated with the business prin ciples Band withal equitable arran gementa that seem to govern the league. The season will open April 15ih and close September 14th, and will afford Wilmington about seventy games on the home grounds. Taere is no $500 forfeit for the guarantee of a teaar to stay in the league to the end- of the season as erro nously circulated in the city to the-detriment of the home team, but on the other hand only ten per cent of the gross receipts of each game goes into tne sinking fund as a guaranty, the same to revert to each team at the close of the season, if not forfeited by abandoning italranchise. Mr. Doran explained - that the League had availed itself of the ad. vantages of the national .agreement, which possesses many safeguards to the teams entering, and that he is now quite sure of having in the organisa tion teams from Richmond, Norfoik, Portsmouth, Newport News. Hamp ton, Raleigh and Wilmington and perhaps Charlotte, Greensboro and Winston-Salem, for which three last named places he will leave to morrow morning. In the meantime Wilmington will make her last supreme effort for sub subscriptions to day and the ean- vassers will be accompanied by Mr. Doran. If the amount raised is suffi cient, and the STajr has confidence in Wilmington to-believe that it will be, a meeting of subscribers will beheld at 8 o'clock to-night at the Elks' Club, for the purpose of organ izing bv the election of officers, etc. A meeting will be held in any event. whether the subscriptions warrant an organization or not, and it is earnestly desired to have all interested in base ball present. Tne subscribers especially are asked to be in attendance. Secre tary Doran will be present and explain minutely the plans for the season. JOHN H0LLOWAY DEAD.

Mssy Growers Are Dtsposisg of Their Crop la the Acresge The Prospect. Dr. K. Porter, of Rocky Point, was here yesterday. Speaking of the strawberry crop. Dr. Porter said that the cold snap would have little if any ill effect up3n the plant; in fact, that while it would make the season per haps a few days later, it would cause the plants not to bloom too freely and would thereby contribute to the excellence of the yield and the good of the vines. Dr. Porter says that several growers in his section have already disposed of their crops, some ot them at as high as $125 per acre, the purchaser to pay all cost of gathering, marketing, etc. Dr. Porter himself has sixty acres Of very fine berries, which he says he would not dif pose of at that figure. The purchasers are chiefly Northern commission houses, acting through their local agents, who have been driven to this BtepVby the remarkable stiff competition so familiar to all planters in the trucking belt.

The motion prevailed and CoL Cantwell tendered his thanks to the Chamber for the compliment embraced in its adoption. President Jacobi, upon his re elec tion to a second term, responded in expression of thanks and pledged his best endeavor to the work of the or ganisation. His annual report, which was read, is as follows: f To the Officers and Members of the Chamber of commerce: Gkhtlehkn I entered uoon the duties of president of your Caamber May 3rd, realising the responsibilities of the position and desirous to do everything for the interest of our Chamber and the city, county and State in which we are so deeply in terested, and anxious to serve. Other duties nave taken mucn of my time so that I have been unable to accomplish many things desired ; among them the printing and distribu tion of a suitable illustrated book showing the importance and possibili ties of our city, pointing out some or the manv natural and other advent ages of one the most favored cities of our great country. Tne books mat we have, served a good purpose and have proven a good investment but now that we have progressed and in; creased our opportunities in many lines the statistics given are out of date and should be revised, and atten tion called to other advantages. By arrangements made we will secure these books at a very reasonable price and they will be in such shape as to ho mailed at little cost and trouble. Taink that the cost . of seeding out such data does great good, and at the same time educates our own people and prepares them to talc up Wilmington at . every opportunity. Nothing is so necessary for the suh atantiel growth of a city, like ours, than a thorough knowledge of its advantages, patriotism and determina UOn OI its oiusens lu uuk iuu wura lur it. This we must do. and cry down any disloyal citizen who claims Wil mington as his noma and re ruses to sing her praises or assist in furthering her interests. Many things of vital impoatanoe and interest to our citizens have been in quired into, considered and discussed ih our Chamber during the past 3 ear, and I feel that in a number of cases, influence for good is wielded and our people made better acquainted witn these subjects by friendly discussion and investigation. We endeavored to secure tne en campment-last Summer and think that we would nave been successful, but for lack of funds it was not held. This year we shall renew: bur efforts and, also nope to secure tne meeting of the Teachers' Assembly, and from correspondence had, think we will do so. We endorsed bill of appro priation for Philadelphia' Museum which we think is aoing a great good, advertising the manufac turers or tnis country ana exmoiting the nrodacts of competitive markets. and the class of goods used and desir ed in the countries of the world, whose business we seek. I feel that any one interested in foreign business, and our State must be, to insure and maintain an outlet for its increasing cotton products, will find it well worth investigation. We endorsed and have worked for permanent road improvements, and it is gratifying .to see work of this nature being done in our city and county; this will en hance the value of property and make our city accessable and saves large amount of money to our citizens. We made efforts to secure the re moval of the Port Royal, (3. O..) dry dock to our waters, but owing to con ditions beyond our control were un successful.

We are particularly interested in this as our city can never prosper and grow commercially until we are elassed and receive' (ha rites that we aie entitled to, and that our competitive cities receive. - We do not ask for lower rates, but feel that we have shown ourselves entitled to same con- sideration and should be put on equal I SxmvnSltVTrn '7 looting ,with cities thV r anoj FISUXOJttaUiT, . . t nearer the market than our selves. Tne settlement of this great injustice and the removal of this barrier to our progress can . be accomplished if . our citizens will unitedly stand for their rights and demand , the adjust ment of these discriminations. Our Chamber passed resolutions endorsing a State Reformany for youthful crimi nals, ewhich is sadly needed. - Through the efforts of our Congressmen, Jno. D. Bellamy, and upon the recommen dation of the officers in charge of our River and. Harbor Improvement we will scure mooring , dolphins which will prove of great value to the port The depth of our channel has been in creased and vessels drawing twenty feet of water can come to our docks in safety. - We find this port is misrepreseatece in some; - marine books published here and in England and snail take steps to call the atten -tion of the publishers to same, and have errors coiTectedJIe:;vetiai j eerore our Xiegisiature. was oiscussea very fully at a special meeting, called for this purpose, and a committee ap pointed 10 go to Raleigh end endeavor to get certain thanges made.

Reso lutions were passed and forwarded to her family. Thanking each and all for the many courtesies shown, I remain, "" You' very respectfully, & . Makctjs W. Jaoobi, President; Col. Jno. L. Cantwell, secretary and treasurer, presented his annual report which was adopted and ordered 0n file. It shows a very healthy condign of the finances of the organization and shows that 106 members are now en rolled against 105 at the time of the annual meeting last year. Capt Edgar D. Williams, Mr. H. G. Smallbones and President Jacobi were appointed upon motion of CoL Walker Taylor to gather the necessary infor mation and forward a certified copy of the same for the correction of cer tain port statistics relating to Wil mington in a marine book published at London and Liverpool by George Philip. & Son, giving the dues and charges on shipping in foreign ports "a manual of reference for the use of ship owners, ship brokers, and ship masters." The incorrectness of information and the great damage to the shipping- of the city by reason of the Incorrect "publica tion in a book Jaf su$h ' high standing' in shfiping circles, was brought to the attention of the Cham ber by Capt Williams, who read from its pages that vessels of only 16 feet could pass from Wilmington to Smithville (now Southport) and from Smithville to sea, vessels of only 18 feet draft while under the head of "Charleston" it is stated that vessels of from 22 to 24 feet can pass ia and out with safety, aapt Williams ex plained that upon the information in the book all charters are made and it is readily seen that great injustice was being done this city. The port charges are also given at much in advance of the actual figures now in vogue here. Capt J. W. Harper was unani mously elected to membership in the Chamber. The question of long distance tele phone, the revenue bill, pilotage charges, etc., were brought up, but no reports from committees to which the matters were referred were in hand. The Island Wster Way. Capt? Williams again brought to the attention of the body the necessity of some action in regard to the inland water way from New Topsail Inlet to Wilmington, mention of which has been made at length in these columns several times. CoL Walker Taylor also spoke in favor of the project and recalled from personal investigation that the plan of Capt Williams was perfectly feasible. Capt Williams presented a letter from Mr. E. S. Burwell, treasurer of the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal Ox, showing that for the year ending Dec. 31st 1900, vessels that passed through that canal were as follows: 2,049 steamers, 899 sailing vessels, 730 barges and lighters making a total of 3,758 asels of a tonnage of 330,359 tons to say nothing of 272 rafts of mill logs and piling. He also presented a letter from Mr. W. B. Brooks, Jr. , president showing that through the Lake Drummond canal during the past six months there passed 525 steamers, 273 schooners, 360 barges, 12 lighters, 25 rafts, dredges and the revenue cutter BouUeelL It was clearly drawn from these figures that similiar canals for Wilmington would add materially to its commerce and a committee consisting of - Messrs. W. E." Worth, J. A. Arringdale, Capt Edgar D. Williams and the standing Committee on Harbor, Shipping and Commerce consisting of Messrs. H. G. Smallbones, James EL Chadbourn, Jr., and Capt E. W. VanC Lucas, was instructed to take up the matter at once and try to arrange through Con gressman Bellamy for an audience with the authorities of the War De partment looking to the securing of an order to begin a survey of the work. President Jacobi stated that there was every reason to believe that Wrights ville will get the Teachers' Assembly this year ; that Prof. Q. -U. Mebane would likely be here soon to look over the field. He also stated the State Guard Encampment would likely be held, at Wrights ville if the proper en couragement ia given. . .-; Fop Whooplngr Oouffh WHOLE NO. 10,468 DO YOU CARE TO SAYE HOMEY ?
