yesterday entered suit in the U. 8.
Court here, through their attorneys,
Eugene 8. Martin and Rountree &
Uarr, against the Dixon Cotton Mills,
of near Laurinburg, N C.
While no complaint is filed, it is
learned that the amount involved is
near .$10,000 and grows out of an
alleged breach of contract on the part
of the defendant in failing to take a
thousand bales of cotton which plain
tiffs claim were sold to the mill at ap
proximately ten cents per pound.
C iton at present has declined to
bb :ut eight cents and hence the reason
for the suit. The case will be on the
appearance docket at the forthcoming

mill.

Very few matters of general public
interest CimUD at vesterdav after

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

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. It was
shown that through the efforts of the
committee three new members hsd
been secured and several others rein
stated. The committee was continued
and requested to further prosecute
the canvass. 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.

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.

HIS MANAGER DISAPPEARED.
Mr. W. J. Reaves Unable to Account for
Continued Absence of Yonng Clar
ence Montgomery.
Mr. J. E. Smith, of this city, has
been placed in charge of the branch
store of Mr. W. J. Reaves at South-
port in place of Mr. C. A. Montgom
ry, who rather mysteriously disap
peared from the place of business at
Southport Sunday iUggt and has hot
been seen since byfeither Mr. Reaves,
bis other employes at Southport, or
any otfer of his acquaintances.
Mr. Reaves is not prepared to say
that young Montgomery, who is a
native of this city and a son of Mr. J.
J. 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."
Mr. Reaves had unbounded confi
dence in Montgomery and it is hoped
and believed that the matter will yet
be cleared up and Montgomery exon
erated.

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, :

Announcement.
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.
