NEG.R0 LABORERS WALKED OUT.
About Seventy-five Quit Work at the Cape
Fear Mill Yesterday Mornlsj.
Between 75 and 100 negro laborers
employed in the mill department of
the OapeTFear Lumber Company's plant
in this city went out on a strike yes
terday morning upon the company's
refusal to grant them a ten-hour day
instead of twelve as now, the men
being employed by the hour. The
mill had to be shut downf or the day in
consequence of the walk-out, although
the yard force and all the white em
ployes remained at their posts.
The men have been given until this
morning to return to their work and
no trouble is anticipated. The same
rule as to hours is in effect, with pos
sibly one exception, all over this sec
tion as was in vogue at the Cape Fear
company when the negroes rebelled.
White labor organizers are thought
to be at the bottom of the affair.

THANKS TO THE COMMITTEE.
A Last Effort to Qet Freight Train With
Passenger aad Mail Service on a k
Night Schedule Via Seaboard
. Air Line-Special Meeting.
At a special called meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce in the Sea
board Air Line building yesterday
afternoon, the constitution and by
laws drafted by the committee for the
consolidated body was unanimously
adopted, with slight amendments, ac
cepted by the committee; the formal,
ity of electing the staff of officers,
and the Board of Managers as an ex
cutive committee, was observed; so
that nothing now remains in carrying
out completely the scheme of consoli
dation some time ago begun.
President James H. Chadbourn pre
sided at the meeting; Searetary James
Kyle kept the records, and the follow
ing were in attendance, viz: Messrs.
J. A. Arringdale, Wm. Calder. H. W.
Malloy, L. B. Rogers, S. P. McNair,
W. H. Brown, C. H. Robinson, J. A.
Taylor, George R. French, Walker
Taylor, W. E. Worth, John Frank,
A. H. Zoeller, T. D. Meares, Peter
McQueen, Jr., W. P. Oldham, E. F.
Johnson, H. K. Nash and J. T.
King.
President Chadbourn stated that the
object of the meeting was to hear the
report of the special committee on
constitution and by-laws, composed
as follows: Mr. Wm. Calder (chair
man), Messrs. J. Allen Taylor, Geo.
R. French, W. H. Sprunt, H. M.
Emerson, M. W. Jacobi and C. H.
Robinson.
Mr. Calder in presenting the draft
acknowledged the obligations of the
committee to Mr. J. A. Taylor for a
greater portion of the work and read
the various sections, the rules of
trade of the old Produce Exchange , to
remain in effect until altered to suit
the new conditions. The new consti
tution provides for the maintenance of
a freight bureau and retains as far as
practicable all the machinery of the old
Exchange.
Mr. H. W. Malloy suggested that the
eleven to constitute a quorum be not
changed to fifteen as provided
in the new charter, but after
some explanation by Mr. J, A. Taylor
and others he withdrew the objection.
By consent of the committee the pro
vision requiring; oath for the inspec
tors of election was stricken out
There was also some objection to the
arbitration fee as it stood under the
old Produce Exchange law and incor
porated in the new, but a motion by
Mr. Malloy and seconds by Col.
Walker Taylor and Capt. Meares to
make arbitration free, was lost, only
five voting in the affirmative. The
new constitution was then adopted
unanimously, with grateful thanks to
the committee.
Upon motion of Mr. William
Calder it was ordered that
the $500 left over from the two old
organizations be placed in a surplus
fund, which he hoped some day, by
additions each year, would be large
enoush for the Chamber to build a
home of its. own
Copies of the new constitution and
bv-laws were ordered printed and a
copy sent to each member.
That Extra S. A. L. Train.
The following resolution was unani
mously adopted and Messrs. H. W.
Malloy and L. B. Rogers appointed to
prosecute the matter further
Whereas. The S. A. Line authori
ties have refused to place an additional
passenger service on their line between
Wilmington and Hamlet as per the
reauest of the commercial bodies of
Wilmington, ana
Whereas, we believe such action
on their part is detrimental to their
own interest, as well as a hindrance to
the nrocrress of our city and lis enter
prises, clogging, as it does, the "wheels
of progress," wiin an inadequate, in
sufficient, and unsatisfactory service
of only one train every twenty-rour
nours.
Therefore be it resolved. That we
deplore said action, and sincerely hope
that the matter win oe reconsiaerea,
and that the service asked for, viz: a
through freight train with suitable

cars, leaving Wilmington oetween o

PRETTY CHURCH FESTIVAL.
United Workers of First Baptist Congre
gstioa Gave Charming Entertainment
Last Night -Apollo's Oracle."
The entertainment in the lecture
room of the First Baptist church last
night under the auspices of the United
Workers of the congregation was one
of a novel and unique character and
was greatly ep joyed by a very large
gathering. The affair was arranged
in a charming manner by Miss Eliza
beth D. Burtt and the programme was
carried out under her capable direc
tion.
'Apollo's Oracle," an entertaining
mythological play, was presented by a
bevy of twenty-five pretty young la
dies in elegant costume, with Miss
Louise Corbett in the leading role of
Priestess. The staging and lighting
effects were superb. Questions were
propounded by the audience touching
current topics and the oracle was in
voked for an answer, which was al
ways quick and witty.
The play was followed by "Studies
With a Fan" by Miss Norma Foster,
which was exceedingly pretty and
captivating. Next came three pretty
tableaux: "Death of Virginius,"
"Dance of the Muses" and an impro
vised scene introducing all the char
acters in "Appllo's Oracle."
Miss Burtt played all the musical
accompaniments in a most fascinating
and acceptable manner.
"Mystery Boxes" were sold and af
forded no end ef amusement There
was also a "Question Table," conduct
ed by a number of gentlemen and la
dies which was also a prolific source of
amusement and revenue.
upon tne wnoie the affair was one
of the prettiest and most successful
given at the First Baptist church
in many years. ;

Squibs By the Horse Editor
I By Grape Vine Telegraph.
It was by no means a shet out.
With the stick, "our" Sweeney
and Fisher batted 'em to the tall wood
yesterday.
Mace's reorganized team will
meet Kelly's Kritters on the Greens
boro grounds to-day.
Two straights from the Raleigh
Turtles is as good as could be expected
with our crippled team.
The Red Birds can't chirp over a
victory like that yesterday. Twenty-
five runs in nine innings is not calcu
lated to enthuse.
- Fisher's desperation at the speed
of the merry-go-round at Raleigh
drove him to the slab yesterday, where
he did pretty well, thank you.
j The Horse Editor journeyed yes
terday to Merry Maxton, but will be
back in time to get his arsenal in read
iness from which to umpire Friday's
game.
- It is refreshing to know that Dur
ham got a whiff of Umpire Proud be
fore that vain official was at last rele
gated to the unknown by President
Bus bee.
This was asked of "Apollo's
Oracle" at the entertainment at the
First Baptist church last night: "If
Mace doesn't spice our team, how can
we count percentage?" The baseball
reporter didn't wait for the answer,
for the Oracle had just heard the score
from Raleigh.
The Reorganized Baseball Team.
An enthusiastic meeting of the base
ball fanatics was held at the City Hall
last night. CoL Walker Taylor pre
sided and stated the object of the meet
ing, after which he asked Major W. F.
Robertson, also of the canvassing
committee, to further state the object
Maj. Robertson carefully reviewed the
situation and told how the team had
been left penniless and. homeless;
how they had been taken up by
the citizens and put on their
feet again and how the franchise had
been saved to Wilmington. He also
spoke of the fund in hand to support
0ie team and the need of more. He
then moved the election of the follow-j
Ing local hoard of directors, who were
chosen unanimously: H. J. Gerken,
,W. "H. McEachern, S. P. Adams,
County Treasurer H. McL. Green and
J. E. Thompson. The Board waa au
thorized to carry the team no further
iothe season than the public subscrip
tions would warrant, but all expressed
confidence in the public to support a
good team even beyond the season
limit.
Upon motion of Mr. James Allen
and second by Mr. W. L. Burkheimer,
the canvassing committee was voted
grateful thanks for its efforts.
Subsequently the Board of Directors
met j and elected Mr. H. J. Gerken
chairman and J. E. Thompson secre
tary and treasurer.

The blue birds are with us
again. The streams and ponds
are warming up. The fisher
men should be looking up
their outfits. Seeing if any
thing is wanted before the
last minute.
As of old we are showing
the finest things to tempt the
fish kingdom and make the
sport more sporty for the
anglers.
Lines may be wanted : poles must be
needed; hooks are very necessary, and
in fact we have everything that is re
quired to make a complete outfit.
To those that are interested in the
sport, to those others that may not be
so enthusiastic, we would consider it a
favor to have all come in and look.
