Elef ant Sapper Served Id Honor of the Oris sit stlon by the Ladies' AbxUI sry Informal Speech-mskloi sod Musical Eotertsismeot. The Get One Club of the Young Men's Christian Association was enter tained handsomely last evening at an elegant supper served in the boys' room of the building by the Woman's Auxiliary. About thirty guests were present snd no more delightful event has. been celebrated in Association his tory in a long time than "that last night. The sapper was served in the most approved manner and the enthu siasm of all was intense. There were a number of informal speeches, all of them sparkling with wit and humor and thoroughly in keeping with the spirit of the hour, but the chief address of the evening was by Mr. W. H. Chadbourn. He spoke as a representative of the busi ness community and after a few happy introductory remarks in which he gave his conception of the object and aims of the Association, he dealt with his serious impressions of Association work in a most complimentary man ner. said Mr. Chadbourn, "and I not only speak for myself but for every bud ness man in -the city, mat we put more faith and confidence in those of our employes who belong to this Association than in any others. If one of our clerks elects to surround himself with the safeguards and in fluences of this Association, we feel thst he is one on whom we can, with confidence, rely. Such an one needs none of our watching. We know that his associates here will keep him straight, xou may imagine that we buiness men do not keep track of the doings of our employes after business hours but you are very much mis taken. You might pull the wool over our eyes for a while but sooner or later we would find you out. Such a clerk generally comes in late after the pro prietor has arrived and usually the first thing he does is to get a drink of water. Now, I tell you plainly, we don't want clerks whose heads are be fuddled neither do we want those whose brains are in their heels." Continuing. Mr. Chadbourn laid emphasis upon the fact that the real, true, successful bwatneav man Is al ways anxious to push ahead a clerk and give him a lift, if necessary. All the good places are not taken and the clerk or employe who performs his allotted, task with all his might snd main, and lives an upright life, is as sure of success and advancement as the sun is to rise. Mr. Chadbourn gave an incident of this in his personal experience and went on to say : 'Now let me tell you that luck and favoritism have but very little to do with your success. Right living, right action and strict attention to whatever falls to your lot to do, contain the three elements of your success and I firmly believe that right here in these halls you will find more influences leading that way thau io any other place in the city. To give yon a further idea of what I, individually, as a business man think of the advantages to a young man of belonging to this Association, I have instructed all the secretaries of the Association to take note of any young man who wished to join and if by reason of his finances he did not feel able, I would pay bis dues for one year, i repeat tms now. bo per haps I might be considered an honor ary member of your club." Mr. Chadbourn's excellent address was preceded by the banquet to the Club which embraced a tempting menu. Indeed. It was served in five courses. The decorations were palmr, ferns, plants and flowers bile a number of pretty table pieces lent additional charm to the festive board. The committee of ladies in charge was as follows: Mrs. O. O. Covington, Mrs. Mitt Moore, Mrs. Charles Duiban, Misses Hazel Love, Clara Woodward, Lucy Chad bourn and Keith Covington. Secretary Dasban was present dur ing the evening and gave a cordial welcome to all the guests. An infor mal programme of music was observ ed, notable among the selections having been two very enjoyable piano solos by Prof. J. C Heidt, of Hollow bush's Orchestra. The affair in every respect was a credit to the ladies who gave the ban quet, to Secretary Dusban and all others connected with it. ApproacBiaf Marrisf e la tJarhsm.

TELEPHONE MATTERS Chamber of Commerce Heard Proposition of Columbus Co. at Meeting Yesterday. PREFERRED STOCK OFFERED. Business Men Asked to Assist an Enter prise That Will Benefit Them Presi dent Harrelsoa and Secretary Perry Here Lerlslation. An excellent opportunity was af xoraea tne business men or the com munity to acquaint themselves with the merits of the' proposition of the Columbus Telephone Company to ex tend lu line info Wilmington, in tbe apeeial meeting of the Chamber' of QommercJld yesterday afternoon atS:30oViock. President Chadbourn was in the chair at the meeting and others in at tendance were: Messrs. James Kyle (secretary), Walker Taylor, W. B. Cooper, J. A. Taylor, J. JN. Jacobi, Gei. R. French, H. K. ;Nasb, I. M Bear, G. J. Boney, EL O. McQueen, D. McEacbern, T. 8. McManus, mana ger of the Wilmington exchange of the Bell Telephone Co., W. P. Old ham, local manager for the Inter- State Telephone Co., President J. W. Harrelson; Secretary and Treasurer E. A. Perry and Directors B. F. Keith and 8 F. Craig, of 'the Columbus Telephone Co., and Mr. G. 8. Reed, of Chadbourn. President Chadbourn, in calling the meeting to order, said that it was for the special purpose of listening to the officers of the Columbus Telephone Co. in regard to a proposition to the business men of the city to take stock in their enterprise and thereby enable the company to bring its lines from Council's station to Wilmington; tbat while the Chamber of- Commerce would not assume any financial risk in matters of tbe kind in hand, that it was a ways clad to listen to and en courage persons from the surround ing country who had business matters to present. He asked Mr. J. A. Tay lor to still further state the object of the meeting, which he did and intro duced Mr. Perry, of the Columbus Company. Mr. Perry said that tbe Columbus Telephone Co. was organized June 1st with a capital stock of $5,000 and priv ilege to increase at any time to (10, 000. The business had steadily in creased and the lines of tbe company extended, making it necessary to get an amendment to the original charter authorizing a capital stock of $25,000, which had been done. He then spoke of the company's proper ties and enumerated the lines of his company as follows: Wilming ton to Southport; Chadbourn to Clarendon; Chadbourn toBoardman; Chadbourn to Clarkton; Olarkton to Abbottsburg and Bladenboro; Clark- ton to Elizabethtown, besides a nam ber of smaller connections, making 267 miles of single wire, upon which there were over 200 'phones. The company has arrangements under way to build connections from Whiteville to Shallotte, N. C, and Little River, S. C, and to Conway, S. CL At each of these points Mr. Perry said he was assured of a sufficient amount of stock to complete the line. The line to South port he said, was a metallic circuit and cost from $1,200 to $1,400 more to construct than the company had anticipated. It would require $600 to complete the link from Council's to Wilmington, and as the company was in need of money to meet the expan sion of its liner, it proposed to issue $3,000 preferred capital stock, paying 6 per cent semi-annually. A part of this, he said, was now offered to Wil mington merchants along with com mon stock, if any was desired. Capt W, P. Oldham, at this junc ture, produced what was alleged to be a contract with the inter-state Company's lines, but after some dis cussion tending to show tbat the con tract was not legally signed, tbe mat ter was ruled out of order. President Chadbourn took occasion to compliment, tbe generosity and public spirit of Columbus county peo ple and especially their enterprise in the matter of telephones. Capt S. F. Craig spoke of the com pleteness and efficiency of the South- port line and its great desirability to the. business interests of Wilmington. He was satisfied it was a good invest ment and had been constructed as eco nomically as was possible. Mr. B. F.x Keith spoke of the desira bility of a connection with a territory tbat will soon develop into one of the finest agricultural sections in the coun try. A connection with the counties of Brunswick, Bladen and Pender was especially desirable In view of the tobacco movement that is now on. " Manager McManus, of the Bell Tele phone Company, spoke of the desira bility of stock as an investment and said with the toll stations tbe property should pay good dividends. The matter was further discussed by Messr. G. J. Boney, I. M. Bear, J. A. Taylor and W. B. Cooper, and Secre tary Perry and President Harrelson will to-day make a canvass of the busi ness section of the city with a view of securing subscriptions to the preferred stock offered. Several expressed their purpose to subscribe yesterday after noon. Before the Chamber adjourned a communication was received from Mr. J. A. Arringdale, chairman of the Chamber Committee on Legislation, in which' he asked all members' to in form him of any desired legislation which they wished presented with en dorsement to the Legislature at its meeting in January. - BAND? Prisoner on Trial in Savannah Probably Member of Outlaws Tbat Infested Robeson County After War. W. J. Potter and his seventeen-year-old son, Swayne, are principals in a sensational murder trial now in pro gress at Savannah, Ga. Interest at taches to the case in this' section be cause detectives, who have the matter in hand, claim that they have indis putable evidence that tbe elder Potter is none other than Alex Hayer, a prominent member of the Henry Berry Lowry gang of outlaws, which infested Robeson county, this State, just after tbe war. About the time the county was get ting too not for the. lawless gang, Hayes was arrested by Deputy Sheriff William Page, and, while in the offi cer's custody, shot him dead with a pistol handed to him by his sister, Mattie Hayesv He made his escape to South Carolina, and thence went to Georgia. The outlaw had not been heard of since that time until now, although large rewards were offered for his capture and the au thorities worked industriously on the case for days, weeks and months. The crime is well remembsred by many still living in this section and one of the principal witnesses in the case now being tried was a resident of Robeson county when the Lowry band was in operation. The detectives say tbat in the event Potter is not convicted in the present case, they will bring him to North Carolina to be tried for the murder of Page. Potter denies that he ever lived in North Carolina. The judge hearing the present case has instructed the jury not to let the possible belief that the pris oner is an outlaw prejudice their ver dict in tbe- matter now in hearing. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
