Success of a Wilaisrtealsa. The many friends of Mr. Robert H. Sykes, son of our esteemed towns people, Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Sykes, were glad to see him here during the holidays. He has recently been ap pointed secretary of the Geological Survey of North Carolina, with head quarters at Chapel Hill, and is now with Prof. J. A. Holmes, who is well known in Wilmington. Mr. Sykes is a young man of ability and promise, and since leaving here about five years ago to make his home in New York city has met with considerable success. While in that city he was a trusted employe of the law firm of Tracy, Boardman & Piatt, and upon the elec tion of Hon. Tom C. Piatt, the Re publican "Boss" of New York city, to the United States Senate, he selected Mr. Sykes to be his private clerk. This was a great compliment, considering the fact that Mr. Sykes has always been a strong Democrat. His appoi at- meat was gained only through merit and hard work. He returns to North Carolina on account of health consid erations and a natural desire to be once again near his home folks. Fsaeral This After sooa.

C, Held Its Annual Meeting Yesterday Afternoon. REPORTS OF ALL OFFICERS. Keotscky Chapter's Protest Acsisst the Tbeatricsl Production of "Uncle Tom's Cabla" Warmly En dorsed Other Notes. The annual meeting of Cape Fear Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, held at 3:30 o'clock yes terday afternoon in the W. L. L armo ry, was attended by much enthusiasm upon the part of the large number of members present. Mrs. W. M. Parsley presided and Mrs. John O. James, tbe aeretary, kept a record of the proceed ings. The important features of the meet ing were the reading of the annual re ports from officers and committees; the adoption of resolutions of respect to the memory of the late Mrs. W. H. C. Whiting, and an endorsement of the action of the Lexington, Ky., Chapter, Ur D. C, in strenuously protesting against the recent dramatic production of Uncle Tom's Cabin" in the theatre in that city. Committee reports were first heard and each of them indicated substantial progress during the past year. The report of Miss Mary F. Meares, the treasurer, showed a very satisfac tory condition of the finances' of the Chspter, and tnat of Mrs. John C. James, the secretary, was likewise gratifying to the members present. Mr. J. J. Hedrick, chairman of the Memorial Committee, made' a very complete report, showing what had been accomplished in that respect dur ing the past fiscal year. Miss Mary F. Saunders, registrar of the museum, submitted the re port by the Committee on History and Relics, which is as follows: "Madsxe President aitd Ladies During tbe year just past we have ad ded but little to our Museum collec tions. We have however, received a few relics. Maj. Reilly's two swords have been placed there, two photos of Capt. Maffltt and a few other things. The Museum nas not been opened weekly as heretofore for several rea sons the public did not take sufficient interest to visit it and it seemed useless to go there every week and sit the whole afternoon and have no one to call. "When the W. L. I, had their ba zaar we opened the room, and charg ing 10 cents for admission, we raised six dollars and some cents for them. It was open also two afternoons dur ine the Confederate Veterans' en campment and we had some eathusl - astic visitors, and again during the convention of the Daughters of the Confederacy. "In regard to tbe care wbicb tbe room has had I suppose Mrs. Huggins will- eive a report, wbicb, as sue nas done considerable work, ought to be interesting. "I have registered 126 applications during the year, as none had been reg istered previously. I have nine on hand to be registered. 'Durinr this vear I ' have received from the Examining Committee 33 original applications and two trans fers, examined and approved. "Since writing tne above l nave re ceived from Mrs. Empie a little pam phlet called 'John Yates BealL' an ac count of his thrilling career of the South." Mabt F. Satodebs, Registrar. The last report, and perhaps the most important and exhaustive, was that of Mrs. Wm. M. Parsley, the president. It is as follows: ''Daughters of Cape Fear Chapter'. "A vear arc. on Jan. 19th. Cape Fear Chapter took part witb the Vete rans in the celebration of Lee's birth day. Crosses of Honor were presented to sixty Confederate soldiers, a most beautiful address being made on the occasion by Mrs. Gaston Meares, which has since been printed, the little book let being given with each cross pre sented. ' "On Memorial Day we had the usual observance, witb an exceptionally fine address from Capt. C B. Denson, of Raleigh, and the presentation of thirty eight more Crosses of Honor. The graves of eight Confederate soldiers were marsea wiw ihwh uuiug iu yr- ... . . .l . T 1 "in January we unapier nuu uj subscription, tbe sum of sixty-two dollars for the hospital of the Confed erate Soldiers' Home in Raleigh, and in June assisted the Wilmington Light Infantry in an entertainment for the benefit of the company, which has always, with ready courtesy and kindness sustained the Daughters in their work. "We have lost, by transfer, tbree members during the year, and have received thirty-one, making our mem bership at present one nunarea ana twenty-eight, with some applications pending. "All dues and assessments have been mid irularl. and our museum is in good order. The point however around wblcn interest ana worn nave cen tered, has been the meeting of tne Seneral organisation of the United laughters of the Confederacy in Wil mington on tne lain oi novemoer. "With this in view, there were ef forts made early in the year to fill our treasury, and three successiui en tertainments were held in February a lea, in a.pru j.u Convention," and in May, in connec tion with Miss Cammie Lord, a "May Festival." Later, during tne wees or Carnival, a lunch room was opened and quite a good sum realized. an couaoquenco, wtm uo k preached for the convention, it was felt that we could, with out much apprenension, ioox ipr- ward to the entertainment oi tne U D O.'a in a creditable manner. Our anxiety was farther relieved by liberal donations to tbe convention fund from Cape Fear Camp of Veter ans and from certain officials of the Atlantic Coast Line. This, with the excellent work of Ii the committees of toe Chapter, and the hospitality of our citizens generally, resulted in tbe reception and entertainment of the convention in a style most gratify ing to us, and which has been com plimented and commended very gen- erThe special guests of tbe Chspter were MrJstonewall Jackson and Gov ernor AycoSj Mrs. General Barrin- WILMINGTON, N. O., SUNDAY, JANUARY 19, ger, of Charlotte. Mrs. Overman, our State President, and Mrsv Gar land Jones, State Secretary, were also present, and our Chanter was srlad to see the venerable Mrs. Goodlette, of Tennessee, the first president of the U. D. C. and Mrs. Raines, of Geor gia, tbe first vice president and regent ior tne soutn auantic Btates through whom Cape Fear Chapter was organ ized. "Oar liabilities on account of the convention have all been paid, and there remains only one or two debts of the Chspter, and the pledge given by our delegates at the State Conven tion, of forty dollars, for furnishing the General W. EL O. Whiting Room in the new dormitory of the Soldiers' Home in Raleigh. "These, we can see our way to paying, and hope before the last meeting in May, to be en tirely out of debt and ready to begin new work. This will probably be di rected toward a memorial to our noble townsman, Hon. George Davis. 'There have been a few valuable additions to the Museum during the past year, obiefly in papers and records, and the claims of tbe Museum sbonld not be neglected. By tbe ex penditure of a moderate sum, many things of interest which are now put away for safety, and not exhibited, could be properly framed and dis played. Cape Fear Chapter has been called upon this year, for the first time since its organization, ta record tbe death of a member, that of Mrs. Whiting, one of our charter members, who though prevented by delicate health from taking an active part in the work of the Chapter, always mani fested the deepest interest inf every thing that was done, and so far as her influence could go, used it for the Cause. A wreath was sent from the Chapter to be placed on her grave, and a page in our record inscribed with her name and the date of her death. "The body of General Whiting was brought last May from New York, where he died in prison in 1865, and interred in Oakdale, and she rests be side him, whose memory was so faith fully cbenabed." Miss Hettie James, a life-long and very near friend of the late Mrs. Whiting, read the following tender expression, which was unanimously adopted by a rising vote: "Since oar last annual meeting, it has been God's will to remove from our midst one of our beloved mem bers, Mrs. W. H O Whiting, who fell "asleep in Jesus" Nov. 21st, 1901; be it therefore "Resolved, That in the death of Mrs. Whiting, this Chapter has lost, not only a beloved member, but one who has always been prominent in her de votion to that cause, for which her gallant husband. Gen. W. H O Whi ting, nobly sacrificed bis life in the defence of htr native home, at the bombardment of Fisher. ''Left to mourn, for many years, her great loss, her barque has now been launched, and she too has crossed the river to j)in him on the other side. Qieenlyin her bearing beautiful in tier devotion to that loved memory courteous to the lowly, as well as her own rank, with an ear ever open to the cry of distress generous al most to a fault true, to her friends while ready to acknow ledge merit, even in an opponent; endeavoring to do her duty to her fel low beings as well as her God. Faith ful to the last, with a gifted memory well stored with the noble deeds of its sacred history, so dear to every true Southern woman, she has left few like her. "Highly endowed by nature with personal magnetism and that quiet dignity of manner, which so well fitted her for executive positions, pre ferring a retired life, she declined all honors, but retained to the end' that unwaning interest in all connected with that "Lost Cause " witb wbicb also lsy buried ber heart's own happi ness "Resolved. That the dear name of Kate Whiting, and her memory will ever be cherished by those who loved her so well, until tee, coo, are per mitted to rest on the other aide where tbe "Noble Army of Martyrs," fathers. husband, sons and brothers, who bore so bravely their parts in a cause so just, are awaiting us where all care, sorrow and strife are cnerisneu in loving reunion. Be it also "Resolved. That her name and these resolutions be inserted upon a page In the minutes and a codv sent to her family with the loving sympathy of the Chapter." The resolution commending the Lexington, Ky., chapter for its prompt and loyal work in protesting against the theatrical Drod action of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which was referr- d to several times last week in the tale- graphic columns of the papers, wss unanimously adopted with much feel Ino". It was nreoared and read bv Mrs. Gaston Meares as follows: "The beautiful devotion and courag eous loyalty to tbe old South lately manifested bv the Daughters of tbe Confederacy of Lexington, Ky., in their protest against tne aramatis rep- resentauon oi uncie iomi vwoia in that city, seems to demand expres sions of sympathy and hearty ap proval from all Confederate organiza tinnn.

Instructors in County Institutions Met at the Court House Yesterday. ENTHUSIASTIC CONFERENCE. Adoress by Professor Cstlett es Modern Methods -Reports from All Districts , Were Very Eacoararior Petl tlos for Increased Salaries. Tbe meeting of the teachers of the various public sohools ia the C9unty at the office of Prof. Washington Cat lett, the superintendent, yesterday morning was fraught with much in terest and profit to those who were present. t o-Astv result of the meeting a nucleus was formed for the organization of a Teachers' Association and many other matters of interest were transacted. The exercises were opened by an entertaining and instructive talc by Prof. Cstlett on the best methods of teaching mathematics and reading. The subjects were exhaustively treat ed by Prof. Oatlett in an laddresi of more than an hour and a half. He also referred in a gaaeral way to all branches taught ia the schools. Prof. Catlett's remarks were follow ed by an informal discussion of gen eral school work in which all the teachers participated and manifested a lively interest. Reports from all sec tions indicated that never before were the country schools in a more flourish ing condition. Prof. Oatlett says he thinks the corps of teachers in New Hanover the best in the State and he never knew enthusiasm to run higher. Nearly all the schools now have libraries started and these are growing daily. Not one cent from the State has been received toward supplying these; in fact, the work of establishing libraries in the schools was instituted in New Han over before the State took up the ques tion and there has been no occasion thus far to call for the outside assist ance. There is commendable progress in beautifying the grounds of the various schools and the teachers report that the entire country has received inspira tion from this soiree and many country residences are being made more beautiful for the work begun by the children. The school on Middle Sound, Dis trict No. 3, has won especial distinction iq the establishment of its library and improvement of its grounds, and as a reward for the energy of the teacher and pupils a movement is oa foot to have the .County Board of Education present to that institution a handsome flag. Perhaps the most important consid eration of the meeting yesterday was the question of salaries. There has been much discussion of late in the State in regard to the pay of public school teachers, and yesterday the teachers in joint assembly drew a petition for presentation to the Coun ty Board oi Education asking that their pay be increased, which will no doubt be done at an early date. The teachers cite that the cost of living has become much higher and that their duties have become more burdensome since the schools have reached the present advanced stage. ; Those present at the meeting yester day were Miss Pattie D. Thorne, Wrightsville Bound; Miss Kathleen Elmore, Middle Sound; Miss Jennie T. Oldham, Myrtle Grove; Miss Augusta Wiggins, Delgado; Miss Reba Myers, Delgado; Mias Newbury, Castle Hayaes; Mr. J. P. Herring, Mason- bo ro; Mr. E. O. Herring, Greenville; Mi E. D. Bowen, East Wilmington, and Mr. M. Bowen, Acorn Branch. Prof. Oatlett will hold a meeting of the colored teachers of the county in February. Negro Stole a Pig. John Sharkless, colored, was sent over to lali for the nigner court by Mayor Waddell yesterday on the charge of false pretence. Sharkless was arrested by Policeman Frank. George at Fourth and Bladen streets A few days ago he went to Market street and Dock, where Mr. A. o. Benton had brought pork to the city for sale, and told him ; he had been sent for a dressed pig by Mrs. Mcln- Intosh, who conducts the Fulton House, where Sharkless was employ ed about a year ago. Mr. Benton Jgave him the last pig in his cart, and when he went to collect for same. It was found that no boy had been sent to buy a pig. The police went to work on the case and soon had Sharkless in the toils, though he denies every thing. Why Not Wilmlnrlos ? Mr. Geo. A. Hoderness, of Tar- boro. President of tbe Carolina Tele graph and Telephone Company, says that his company has bought the Dunn and 8mithfield exchanges with their toll lines; that he will run a copper line from Selma to Raleigh, and then a man in Raleigh can tele phone over the system from tbe State capital to Morehead City, Fay etteville, Washington, or any inter mediate points In Eastern North Car olina.

A New Candidate. L aSSBSSSBBBBBBBBI The Oollectorship matter is still in statu quo. From a most reliable source yester day the 8TAR received confirmation of the exclusive publication in its columns Friday morning of the news that ex Governor Russell had been tendered the place and had been given until Monday to decide whether he would accept. From the same source from which the confirmation of that report was received yesterday, it was learned that if Russell did not accept the ap pointment it would go to Mr. Keith. This information is regarded as ab solutely trust worthy and its truth fulness is said to be conceded by the friends of Mr. D. L. Gore, who up to this time has been one of the leading candidates in the race. Another new candidate, even at this late day, developed yesterday in the person of Robert W. Davis, a leading Republican lawyer of Brunswick and postmaster at Southport. A petition in his favor was being circulated by friends in Wilmington yesterday. A special - dispatch from Washing ton says: . "Ex-Governor Russell has still got the Collectorahip under care ful and to all appearances prayerful consideration. It begins to look as though he were going to accept it re gardless of tbe restraining force of his friends.', j Peculiarly Ssd Destb.
