MrP White had been an invalid for the past twelve years and while his death waa nA wholly unexpected, it came as a sad blow to the devoted family; and hun dreds of friends JnWilmlngton, who aamired and lored bhn for his many traits of strong Christian character; his staunch devotion to thnOonfeder acy ln Its darkest days, and the great fortitude and cheerfnlness with which he bore hi suffering. -The sympathy of the community goes ; out to the bereaved family ln this, their hour of sorrow.. .

W. Zim merman under the firm name of Zim merman & White, one of the largest establishments of its kind in the elty, at northwest corner of Second and Princess streets. ' Later, on Market street, he was In business for himself and was successful to an unusual de gree until stricken down twelve years ago.?.: f ; -.f r-- : .

At the outbreak of hottilltlet between the States he enlisted with the Cape Fear Riflemen,' whieh was assigned to the 18th North Carolina Regiment a Cow I., commanded by Oapt.

Dell(btfal Receptlos Pestare of the Erea- 1st Address of Welcome asd Re-spoase-RiverFjtCBriIoaTo-dsy. State B. & l Meetlaf. . The opening feature of the serenth annual eonrentlon of the North Caro lina Bankers' Association at Wrights rllle Beach last night was an elegant public reception In the assembly room of the Seashore Hotel upon whieh there were in attendance more than a hundred prominent men of finance of thl and other States, nearly as many of their lady friends and members of their families and not a few promi nent7 bankers and business men of Wilmington. The reception was given by the Wilmington Chamber of Com merce and was delightful for that in- ormality so peculiarly characteristic of the seashore, which attended it The guests numbered nerhaDS three hundred and the attendance of bank- er was said to hare been the largest erer recorded at an opening session of the Association In the seren years of is history. - .' .. "' - The eonrention ; was called - to I order at . 9:80 o'clock, President j George : W. Montcastle, of Lex- ngton, ln the chair ; secretary O. N.- Evans, of Charlotte, at his desk and all the other oflcer and execu tive committeemen of the Association n attendance. President Montcastle presented Hon. A. M. Waddell, of j Wilmington, - whom' he said he felt I great pleasure in Introducing as one chosen to welcome the risitors to the city in behalf of the Chamber of Com merce of Wilmington. - - r: V . The Address of Welcome Col. Waddell was received with ap plause and spoke in one of his happiest reins. He expressed pleasure and honor In being prirlleged to speak to a body of such representative men and begged to assure them that no draft they would draw would be exces sive or subject to discount or the "three days of grace." The Chamber of Com merce had formed a trust which ex eluded all competition in furnishing entertainment The yery name "banker" was a bigh-aounding one and conreyed to the mind of the ordi nary citizen, a corpulent, bald-headed indiridual of finance and greenback. The occupation is an ancient one as the Scriptures testify. Holy Writ shows that banks existed in those days and, paid Interest on deposit The first record was when Moses received a check on the Red Sea. The banker has always been prominent, In erery age ' and country. Now they are-a great power and Influence in the direction of public affairs. The Chamber of Commerce recognized that fact and expected to reap much ; benefit from the' Associa tion's discussions. If members of the Association would supply the defi ciency' In the purses and bank books that may be found empty they would make their" neetlng a howling success. "Gentlemen, I hope you will allow me to say," concluded Col. Waddell, "that keeping other people's money and receiring the profit yourselres is most admirable -business; and the Wonder Is that more people are not in It I hope It may be my pleasure to welcome even a larger body of you at your next convention in Wilming ton In 1904." - y Respoase fey Col. F. M. Fries. The; response to Col. Waddell' words of welcome In behalf of the convention was by. Got F. H. Fries, president of the Wachovia Loan and Trust Co., of Winston, one of the leading members of the Association and a gentleman of fine address and courteous bearing. CoL Fries said: Member8 of the Chamber of Com' xtnerce, of Wilmington, N. C, : " "We, the members of ' the North Carolina Banker': Association, and visiting friends, deeply appreciate the eloquent words of welcome that have been so aptly spoxen py our cusnn gulahed friend.

"In the days ; of our forefathers, when the ancestral home was the log cabin, the entrance to which wa fast ened br the wooden latch, raised by the leathern thonr. the owner left the latch string hanging knotted on the outside, ao that friends might come in and make themselres at home: the Idea was a beautiful one. bespeaking the .truest confidence inrthef friends who were thus admitted, to what it was in those days the host's entire possessions; but after all," this pro verbial welcome Jacked, the warmth and . charming ..

They come from the Pied mont section, like our worthy presi dent, happy orer the prosperity of the many mills and factories that are spin ning their yarn from eight-cent cotton, and shipping the product of their fac tories, fields and forests all over this and into foreign lands. They come from the East, where the memory of eight-cent cotton may cast a momenta ry shadow as they think or what mignt hare been, but it passe away with the thought of the thousands -of car-loads of fruits and berries that hare rolled away and have come again with hun dred of thousands of dollars that hare found their way 'into their vaults and safe, where moths and rust do not r Corrupt : and thieres (seldom) break through and, steal. ..They come from beyond the State, these brothers that hare strayed from us ; and whom we are delighted to see, with evidence of orosneritr deserved ly gained and positions worthily, won, the most: noted, and perhaps the best belored of. them clothed with the highest honors that can be bestowed by the largest association of the best bankers the world has erer known, 'Happy and joyous ther all come to this annual family reunion, and it is most appropriate that the reunion is at this beautiful place 'where the old ocean meets and kisses the fairest land of theearth,' and where the original settlers first landed in that spirit of freedom and lore of independence that their descendant hare right nobly maintained in their day and genera tion. - : .. .
