The Heavy Hitting Truckers
Too Much For Sea Gulls.
A shet-out is a bad beginning.
When will Wilmington get that
new pitcher f
Sweeney will doubtless pitch for
Wilmington to-day.
Wilmington seems to be still
playing in the first series.
It was not until the seventh and
eighth innings came that our defeat
was so onerous.
The horse editor is afraid to risk
more than ten cents on the Giants
(limited) to-day.
- Krause gave but one base on balls,
but the Clams squeezed sixteen hits
out of his delivery. '
And: Charlotte didn't do much
better than Wilmington. What's the
matter with the Hornets?
Every man on the Wilmington
team except two made a hit, but not
one could reach the home plate.
As the Star has said several
times the Wilmington team is too
weak in 'its pitching department to
play winning ball.
Every man on the Newbern team
got a hit and some of them two and
three. Every man on the Wilming
ton team likewise got a hit except
O'Neill and Krause.
The Giants appear to be in the
second series of bad luck. There's no
telling, though, what they may do to
day. In the emphatic words of Gus
tavus Adolphus, "Wonders neyer
cease."
News and Observer 29th: "The
entire league tares off its bat to Wil
mington. It has proven to -be as
plucky a city as ever supported a ball
team. It deserves that Its team go up
on high in the second series."
Umpire Jack Sherman resigned

PLANT'S LAST DAY.
Magnificent System of Railways
Now a Part of the Greater
Coast Line.
IN EFFECT LAST MIDNIGHT.
No Circulars from President's Office Yes
terday, Thoaxh More Information is
Expected Soon-What the Press
of Other Cities is Saying.
Last midnight the absorption of the
magnifioent Plant system of railways
by the "greater" Coast Line went in
to effect and hereafter the Plant Sys
tem's identity will be swallowed up in
that of the South's greatest railroad
enterprise. There is now but one
management, one property, all owned
and operated under the name of the
Atlantic Coast Line with headquarters
Wilmington.
It was expected yesterday that cir
culars would issue from the President's
office of the "greater" system giving
full and final details of the operation
of all departments but the absence of
Col.EllIott from the city will probably
defer further information to the pub
lic for a day or two at least. Although.:
the circulars relative to the operating
and traffic departments have already
been issued, there are yet a number of
points upon which information
is desired, especially in the ranks of
Plant System employes. The auditing
and relief departments are yet to be
provided for among several others of
more or less importance.
It is given out in Savannah that the
Plant System Relief and Hospital De
partment will be maintained under or
combined with that of the A. C. L. of
which Dr. G. G. Thomas is superin
tendent and chief surgeon. The Plant
System Employes' Mutual Relief As
sociation will also be maintained, it is
said. This is an organization with
which the company has no conneo
tion, though it sanctions and com
mends it.
Regarding the leeal department it
is said tnatair. w. Li. uiay, general
counsel for the Plant System, will be
made division counsel for the Coast
Line, having charge in the territory
now reached by the old Plant System.
Messrs. Hamilton and Elliott will re
main as general counsel of the consoli
dated company. ,
Of the organization of the traffic de
partment of the Atlantic Coast Line,
the Atlanta Constitution yesterday
says: ."That it is a uoast Lrine organ
ization is certainly very clear. Rail
road men regard the statements of cer
tain officials, that the people will hard
ly be able to tell that the consolida
tion has been made after it becomes
effective, as rather humorous in the
light of these appointments."
Commenting upon the information
in the circular, issued Saturday from
the traffic department of the Atlantic
Coast Line and published In these
columns Sunday, the Savannah Morn
ing News says:
"The circulars relating to the traffic
organization of the Atlantic Coast
Line were received yesteraay irom
Wilmington. They do ; not give
Bavannahlans a great deal of satisfac
tion, for they very cleasly indicate the
removal of the offices from this city and
the curtailment of the authority here.
President R. G. Erwin, of the Plant
System, who announced some time
after theconRolidation of the Plant
lines and the Atlantic Coast Lane were
decided da that there would be no
diminution in the strength oi tne or
fice forces at Savannah, has not proven
himself a prophet. There will tea
very decided reduction in the forces.
"All communications relating to
passenger, tramc win ne aaaressea to
the general passenger agent at Wil
mington, which means that there will
be no passenger headquarters for the
Second division at Savannah, as will
be the case with the freight depart
ment. Mr. James Menzies, the pres
ent general freight agent of the Plant
System, will be general freight agent
of the Second division, and his office
will be here.
-All communications relating to freight
claims, loss and damage, overcharge,
eta, will be addressed to the freight
claim agent at Wilmington, except
that, until July 15, all communica
tions upon these matters will be ad
dressed to the general freight agent at
Savannah. This means the removal
of an important department from Sa
vannah, that of Freight Claim Agent
Wilbur McCoy. In this department
there are sixteen or eighteen employes,
most of whom will lose their positions.
The circulars make no provision for
their retention nor for that of Mr. Mc
Coy. Much disappointment was caused by
the announcement that there will be
no general passenger agent at Savan
nah. . It was expected that one for
this divisionwould.be located here.
Instead, a passenger agent is appoint
ed fas the entire system Mr. J. W.
Craig, at present general freight and
passenger agent of the Charleston and
Western Carolina, a division of the
Coast Line.
"Savannah loses much of its impor
tance as a place of railway administra
tion by the consolidation. The office
force, now maintained by the Plant
System will be almost decimated by
the - time all of the contemplated
changes have been carried out. The
auditing force, which constitutes fully
half of the entire list of employes, will
be removed on Aug. 1st to Wilming
ton; that is, as many of its members
as may be retained in- service will go
there. The freight claim office will
go, and the freight and passenger
forces will be reduced."
Both Qood Men, They Are.
The Charleston News and Courier
of yesterday says :
"The reorganization of the Atlantic
Coast Line's traffic department has
left the Emersons in control, and rail
road men are free to admit that this
was about the best move that could
have possibly been made. For a good
many years Mr. T. M. Emerson was
traffic manager. He will continue to
hold that position, while Mr. Horace
M. Emerson, general freight and pas
aenfifer airent. has been nromoted and
made assistant traffic manaeer of the
consolidated properties. The Emer
sons have Deen identinea wiw tneue-
I '
velopment of the Atlantic Coast Line's
traffic-department for years. They
are both good men, and will prove a
splendid head for the bigger transpor
tation company, which has absorbed
the Plant system."
MR. ARCHIE McQUEEN dead.
Died Sunday Evening at Wrightsville
Beach Funeral and Internment Will
Take Place This Morning.
Mr. Archibald McQueen, for many
years one of the largest and most
wealthy merchants of Robeson county
as senior member of the firm of A. &
W. McQueen at Plainview, now Row
land, N. C, died Sunday evening at 6
o'clock at the' Seashore Hotel after a
long confinement with paralysis. His
deatsf, though not unexpected, will
come as sad news to very many friends
throughout all this section where he
was well and favorably known.
Mr. McQueen suffered a stroke of
paralysis ten years ago and ever since
that time his health has steadily de
clined. He sought every known source
of possible relief for his suffering but
Without avail. Two years ago he re
moved with his family to Wilmington
and received treatment at the Willard
Institute of Osteopathy, but lately he
had received the attention of other
physicians, among the most noted in
Wilmington.
Mr. McQueen was 58 years of age
