Later in the meeting the committee on
constitution and by-laws was requested
to report to the president not later than
the 27th Inst. The president was re
quested to call a general meeting of
the Chamber as soon as possible after
the report is filed.
President O. W. Worth sprung a
surprise on the Board by sending in
his resignation, but upon motion the
same was laid on the table as members
of the Board will try to dissuade him
from his purp ose .
A number of communications from
Congressmen and Senators, answering
favorably the petition of the Chamber
for their services in trying to get sub

placed on file.
When a motion was made to go into
the election of a secretary and treasur
er of the consolidated Chamber," Col.

structed to enter upon the records the

ed to turn over to the secretary-elect all
the money, books, etc. , of the Cham
ber and receive receipts therefor.
The Southern Bell Telephone Co.,
the Interstate Telephone Co., and the
Holmes Grocery Co., were elected to
membership in the first class at $50

Upon motion of Mr. Rogers the fol
lowing resolution was unanimously ,
adopted and the secretary requested to
forward copies of the same to Messrs.
H. Walters, vice president, and Jno.
R. Kenly, general manager:
"In view of the fact that other cities
are bidding for the A. O. L. offices and
headquarters and the consequent pa
tronage, since its absorption oi tne
Plant System; and furthermore in
view of the pleasant relations existing
heretofore and now between its offi
cials and our people, be it
"Jietolvea: xnat we express our ap-
nreciation of their nresence among us.
and that it is the earnest desire oi tms
body that they remain with us, and
continue to contribute to the welfare
of our city and section in the future as
in the nast: and tnat we nledare to
them a continuation or our good will
and support."
Mr. T. 8. McManus, local manager
of the Bell Telephone Co., appeared
before the Board and asked for a
meeting of the Chamber to give some

noon. Constable Sbeeban learned of
a desperate encounter there the same
day between a citizen and the negro
who killed a young white . man at a
saw mill near Clarkton a week or two

The negro came to Chadbourn on a
freight train and was recognized by
several as the murderer wanted so
hadlv at Clarkton. A citizen annroach
ed him to nlace him under arrest but
the negro drew a pistol, defied the
white man and walked out or town.
He was seen a few hours later at Oerro
Gordo, a small station below Chad

negro is on his way to Florence.

Raleigh made it two out of three
with Wilmington in eleven innings Of
ragged ball playing yesterday after
noon, the score having been 9 runs to
There was nothing brilliant about
the game save the error column, the
ocals having succeeded in piling up
13, while four were credited to the
the visitors. The contest was, how
ever, not without interest, the score
having been close enough until the
last inning to keep up the excitement
on the bleachers.
It Is unnecessary to go into details.
The visitors started the fireworks in
the very first inning. Pastor was hit
but was caught off first. Sofia got a
pass and was sacrificed by Kain.
Soffle made a dash to third, Dommel
threw wild and allowed him to score.
Hook flew to short. McGinnis got a
single with two men down at Wil
mington's turn, but Dommel, next up,
fanned. Neither team scored in the
second. j
In the third, the visitors went out
slow and the locals took on their
swatting clothes, McCann singled
over short, stole second and third and
scored on Mattheson's hit out to short.
after Dunn and Brown had received
transportation. The Grand Old Centre
Fielder then "went to right for two
bases and scored Brown and Dunn.
Dommel fanned and Brandt got life on
error of first and stole second. Lattin
went out to short, leaving McGinnis
on third and Brandt on second.
In the fourth, Hook, Smith and
Sherman went out in their order and
the locals ot McCann to third at their
turn, but Brandt was out at second on
fielder's choice, Pastor having made a
beautiful stop, cutting off two runs.
In the fifth, Dunn went wild, al
though as a whole he pitched a good
game. Villeneuve was hit; Myers got
a pass; Roy filled the bases on an error
of short; Pastor struck out; Some hit
to short and "Villey" was caught at
the plate. The bases remained full,
however, and Kain drew four balls,
forcing in a run. Hook forced Kain
at second. : Wilmington came to bat
and McGinnis flew to right; Dommel
singled and was scared by Brandt's
magnificent drive to centre.
In the sixth, the visitors scored one
more on muff of Smith's fly; the run
ner advancing to second on Dommel's
error and coming home on Dunn's wild
pitch. McCann again started the fire?
works for the locals by a single over
short, larceny of second and third
and score on catcher's wild throw.
Brown and Mattheson struck out, and
Dunn went out, pitch to first.
Raleigh got still another run in the
seventh on Kain's two-base hit to right
and Smith's hit to short.
Muffs by Brandt in Sight and Mc
Ginnis in centre let in another run in
the eighth after Villeneuve and Myers
had been fanned in succession. The
score was a tie and neither team could
score in the ninth. The same story
applies to the tenth though Wilming
ton got Dommel as far as third.
The visitors got on their batting
clothes in the eleventh and piled up a
lead of four runs, which the locals
could not overcome. Pastor got a pass
and was advanced on scratch hit by
Boffle, who stole second. Kain scored
Pastor on a hit to second hand Boffle
scored on Hook's hit to short. Hook
stole a cushion and Smith cleared the
bases and nut a auietus on the rooters
by a three-bagger to right. Sherman
drove out to riant: "Villy" srot a pass.
bat Mvers struck out and Roy flew to
right The locals scored their last on a
pass to McCann, who stole second and
third; Dunn got a past and stole sec
ond. Brown fanned and Mattheson
was out. second to first, allowing Mc

j Third Aaoaal Pilgrimage of Colonial
Dames Was a Dellghtfal Success,
The Uavelllflg Ceremonies
The annnual pilgrimage yesterday '
of the North Carolina Society of Colo
nial Dames to Old Brunswick was in
every way a splendid success and be
tween 175 and 200 representative gen
tlemen and ladies of the city enjoyed
the day's exercises.
The steamer Wilmington with the
party on board left at 9:45. A. M. and
reached Old Brunswick about noon.
The Colonial Dames formed soon' af
ter their arrival on the outside of the
ruins of historical St. Philip's church
and marched inside the broken
walls through the original en
trance They had seats ' in a
body. The programme as before
published in these' columns was ob
served to the letter. Very fervent re
ligious exercises were held by Rev.
Dr. T. D. Bratton. of Raleieh: Rev.
Dr. James Carmichael and Rev. F.
H. T. Horsfield, of this city, all of
whom are lineal descendants of North
Carolina colonists.
The tablet unveiled to the memory
of Col. Maurice Moore is a very hand
some one of marble, was made in
Philadelphia ond bears the inscription
printed in these columns. It is
about 3x5 f set in size and is located on
the east wall, just to the left of the
chancel of the church. By request,
CoL Waddell read the Inscription
on the tablet to j the gathering and the
veil was drawn by little Miss Florence
Kidder and Master Maurice Moore,
both lineal descendants of the late CoL
Maurice Moore, the first named bei ng
a daughter of Mrs. Geo. W. Kidder
and the last named, the bright little
son of Mr. P. O. Moore, of Wilmington.
Following the unveiling ceremonies
Mrs. Gaston! Meares, president
of the Society of Colonial Dames,
introduced in happy terms the orator
of the day, Hon. H G Connor, the dis
tinguished president of the N. O. His
torical 8ociety. Judge Connor spoke
for 55 minutes in a most entertaining
manner of the early colonial history
of the State with particular reference
to the Cape Fear section and the il
lustrious names oftthe Ashes, Wad-
dells and others. He drew liberally
on previous historical writings of Mr.
James Sprunt, CoL A. M. Waddell
and others of this section. The ad
dress will be printed in pamphlet form
by the -Colonial Dames and sold for
the benefit of the fund to preserve the
ruins of St. Philip's.
The remainder of the day was spent
in ptenidng and inspecting the old
church and grounds. The steamer
with the party on board, reached the
city on the return at 5:15 o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
The party included a special guard
detail from the Wilmington Light In

as it is only human for the seller to make
all the profit he can, YOU can readily see
you can safely buy brands that are well and
favorably known, and are not ashamed to
go before the puoilc. YOU are justly en
titled to get a most excellent Cigar for a
