Martin and Rountree & Uarr, against the Dixon Cotton Mills, of near Laurinburg, N C.

Very few matters of general public interest CimUD at vesterdav after noon's regular quarterly meeting of the Wilmington Merchants' Associa tion, which was held at 3:80 o'clock in its rooms in the Seaboard Air Line building. Col. W. A. Johnson 'presided at the meeting and the Secretary, Mr. P. Heinsberger was at his post as usual. The committee recently appointed to solicit new members, composed of Messrs. B. Solomon. fJ. W. Worth, D. C Love, W. E Worth and Sol Bear, made a verbal report through Mr. Solomon.

The new members were received into membership as follows: Pannill Paint and ' Solder Mfg. Co., Kerchner & Harris and Dan Benton. Toe Association now has 115 members and is upon a very sound financial basis but to increase its usefulness and branch out into other lines a very systematic effort is being made to bring as large a percentage of the bus iness men in touch with the purposes of the organization as possible. At the request of many citizens Sec retary Heinsberger brought to the attention of the body the matter of paving Chesnut and Grace streets between Front and Second with-vitri - fled brick. He asktd the chairman to have a committee appointed to prop erly present the question to the Board of Aldermen now that the budget of expenses for the fiscal year is being made up, but no sction was taken and the request was laid upon the table for action at a subsequent meeting. A communication from Mr. Wm. Niestlie, the druggist; was read and the secretary instructed to write Mr. Niestle that the matter inquired into is not in the 'province of the Associa tion for formal action. Secretary Heinsberger also brought to the at tention of the meeting the desirability of a change in the custom with merch ants and business men of paying bills on the tnth of each month after pres entation of bills on the first of ask month. Secretary Heinsberger urged the desirability of changing the date of payment to the fifth of each month but no action was had in the prem lses. A letter was read from Mr. T. J Whitted, a member of the firm of D H. Ray & Co., wholesale and retail dealers in groceries, Fayetteville, N. O , in which he asked for information regarding the Merchants' Association with a view to the establishment of a similar organization in his town. The secretary stated that he had al ready forwarded the information de sired by Mr. Whitted and called the attention of the members present tj the fact that during the last twelve months two other cities had been in fluenced by the Wilmington Associa tion to form organizations of a -similar character for themselves. Tne cities are Raleigh and Wilson. The question of the establishment of a public park was cons dered at some length upon introduction of the sub ject by Mr. M. W. Jacobi but no defi nite action was taken members having been requested to think over the mat ter so as to intelligently consider ine practicability of the scheme at a later date. FIRE AT TOMAHAWK, N.

Montgomery, has dealt dishonestly with him as the combination to the safe-in the storeliaa been changed Mid' he has not been able to open, it and count the cash that should ordinarily have been taken in during about the seven weeks since he had a settlement with Mr. Montgomery. Mr. Reaves went down to the store Tuesday in response to a telegram from young Montgomery's wife, but he was unable to fathom the mystery of his disappearance. A note written by Montgomery to a boy who worked in the store, said: "Ben, here is the store key. Give it to some of them to morrow, good- bye. Clarence."

LETTER FROM CHAPEL HILL. Progress at tbe University Dr. Venable Notice of Miss Annie Moore's Sci entific Researches. Special Star Correspondence. ChaPel Hill, N. C, April 10. Your correspondent here has a pleas ant task, knowing that any news from Chapel Hill will always interest a large number of your readers. A gentleman who has travelled ex tensively said to me recently, speak ing of the Alumni building, now nearing completion, "That is one of the most attractive buildings I have ever seen it is Beautiful." In a recent talk before the students the president stated that nearly two hundred thousand dollars had been spent in improvements on the campus in the last two years, -and ot Ibis amount the State had given a com paratively small part To see the two new dormitories autf the Alumni building and the other improvements will. richly repay a visit, not to speak of the other attractions which Com mencement will offer. The Facnlty. In the promotion of Dr. Venable to the presidency, the University and tbe otate .nave not only gained a good president, but also a. most valuable man in the chair of chemistry in his successor. Dr. Charles Baskerviile. A thorough preparation in this coun try and in Europe together with stu dious tastes and great energy, and a charming personality make him an ideal teacher. It is pleasant to note the fact that among the names in the faculty in the new catalogue aro to be found the good North Carolina, names, Graham, Mangum, Henderson and Ruffin, the two last being grandsons of the Chief Justices. The schools of Medicine and phar macy and the department of English will be improved and enlarged by the addition of more professors who will be elected by the trustees at their meeting here in June. Miss Annie Moore. A recent number of the American Journal of Physiology, cn? of the leading biographical journals of tbe world, contains a paper by Miss Annie Moore, giving an account of some in teresting researches carried on by her in the Hull Physiological Laboratory of the University of Chicago. Miss Moore s researches are along the line of investigations h;ch has become so popular and fruitful in the present day, namely, the investigation of the effects produced by chemical and physical, agents upon protoplasm. The special problem attacked in Miss Moore's paper, which is entitled, further Evidence of the Fois onous unreels of a pure Na. Ul Solution," is whether sodium acts as a ye&eral poison, and whether calcium counteracts its ill effects. Both quts- tions are answered in the affirmative Miss Moore is of a well known Wil mington family and lAs a large num ber of friends whom she made while teachingtat St. Mary's, and who feel proud of her honors. It is greatly to be hoped that the ar rangements will be made for the meet ing of the teachers to be held in Wil mington. This desire seems to be unanimous, : LIST OF LETTERS.

To our friends, enemies and strangers: On the morning ot tbe 15iu we are eoing te do exactly what y uu want us to do throw open the doors of our new Hotel Sumter. This isrt the bigtrest Hotel in the world. It isi.'t the bet. but there is nothing bfttr i t South Carolina. Tbe building is ce -? and so are the furnishin&s evtrv stick; also brass and inn beds with felt mattresses. A number of rooms wiih private baths. The best lierbted dining room in the State, and light isn t the only thiog that gts on the tables. The lobby and reading room are both good looking and they will suit your taste. But what we want to say is this: As above hinted we will open on the 15th. (Monday) but the job is too big to be performed by a couple of proprietors. We want a lot or travelling men to help us. We are going to furnish you with a first rate supper and a band of music to help worry it down: there will be other sc- ceptible things too ice water arid and but you want to come and see and feel and hear for yourself. Remember it's next Monday, April the fifteenth. Yours (to tell the truth) for what there is in it.
