There is local Interest In the; plan formulated by the Board of Managers of the New York Cotton Exchange for extending' the present plan of cer tificating cotton to licensed warehouses n the South, for the purpose of broad ening, the scope of cotton deliveries so as to make them practically na tional In character. The committee that worked up the plan Is composed of Fergus Beld, of Norfolk; Jamea F. McGowan, of Augusta, and Henry Bchaefer, P. A. Fachirl and James F. Maury, of New York. It la proposed to establish five districts In the South with a licensed warehouse in each. There will be one district for Norfolk and Wilmington, one for Charleston, Savannah and Augusta, one' for New Orleans aad Mobile, one for Galveston and Houston, and one for Memphis, etc The rules which govern classifi cation and inspection in New York are to obtain at the several district ware houses. Each warehouse must be care fully - inspected as to sizr, character, rate of insurance, protection, ease of receipts and delivery, etc. The ware house must furnish bond and agree to abide by the rules of the managers. When cotton has been received at a li censed warehouse and - certificated, It becomes deliverable on contracts. The advantages of the plan will appeal to those in the cotton business and Wil mington should take some steps toward securing; for this point the warehouse to be established in this district.

Before the Majror Notes.. ;, Superior Court was engaged yester day with only a few cases of minor importance, a recess having been aken at s r. M. until :S0 A. M. to-day, when the Thomas colored boys charg ed with the murder of the negro in Brooklyn last February will likely be placed on trial. -It is probable that the defendants will be allowed to sub- - mlt to manslaughter, the maximum penalty for which Is 20 years in the penltentiary; The case of B. :V. Har mon charged with assaulting Conduc tor W. B. Jones on the suburban line : last week will also be probably reached to-day as the-grand jury was completing its investigation of the af fair yesterday afternoon after having visited the convict ' camp at Castle Hay nes during the forenoon. 2: The only case of interest finally dis posed of , yesterday was that of Joe Hlll.alias "MonkerJoe," charged with he larceny of a copper soda water tank from the rear of Shepard's drug store on Market street. He was caught by Policeman G. B. Holt in the act of hiding the vessel - one night about 11 o'clock near Water and Ohesnut streets, In the vicinity of a junk store where it was presumed he would offer t for sale the following morning. Hill was sent to the roads for 18 months. .'' - "' - ' Plummer Johnson, colored, known to the court before as "P. Thomas," charged with - enticing sailors, was found guilty of the larceny of $lQfrom Hermann Sehleivil, the well known marine man on the wharf, the circum stances of which are remembered by readers of the city papers. Judgment was reserved in his case. - S olldtor Duffy was assisted in the prosecution ' of Johnson by A. J. Marshall, Esq., while Brooke G. Em- pie, Esq., appeared fox the defendant Emma Wells, colored, charged with assault and battery with a . deadly weapon, submitted and was fined $5 and costs. Amanda Norman and Lu Thomas, charged with a similar -of - fence, were found not guilty..- Ishan Mack, colored, also submitted to as sault and battery with a deadly weapon, but judgment was reserved. An alias summons was ordered in the ease of City of Wilmington vs. E. W. Best. The court was engaged In - the trial of Bobert Gllsson, a white man from the country, charged with abandon ment, when it took a recess. : The docket of criminal cases in which defendants are In jail, Is being rapidly cleared. Last night, besides the Thomas boys, only : four defend ants remained In jail and one of them was sent over from the .mayor's court Charles Radcliffe, colored, charged with assaulting John Smith, colored, Monday night a weeek ago, at Bath Hall, with a pair of metal knucks. Smith was laid up In the hospital with razor wounds inflicted by another negro upon the same occasion and was unable to appear until yesterday.' "Radcliffe was represented by Herbert McOlammy, Esq., waived examina tion and was sent over in default of $100 bond. Carrie Williams, colored,' Queen be tween Tenth and Eleventh streets, was also tried in the Mayors Court yester day, charged with resisting Officer a T. Groom, in charge of the dog cart. The officer attempted to impound a goat belonging: - to defendant while the cart was On Its rounds this week and the woman strenuously objected to parting company with the animal. She was fined by the JIayor, but through her counsel, - Herbert Mc Olammy, Esq., gave bond and took an appeal to Superior Court Resort For Excursionists. After several informal conferences of the Public Building Committee of the Board of Aldermen; which has been allowed $500 appropriation for the purpose, it has about been decided to locate the resort for Bummer excur sionists while In the city on the lawn to the south of the City HalL It Is probable that the high iron fence around the premises will gire place to a neat brick fence and coping while in side the inclosure will be all con veniences including a drinking foun tain at which pure ice water will be provided free of cost.

Opening; of Dasinsss Session of North Carofina Association 1 X Held list Night. THE RIVER EXCURSION. Deiplte RaJa Bariai the Day visitors Had a Dehihtfsl Trip Presldest - Mont . castle's Ansae! Address Re-'- v port of Secretary Evass. r While most of the second day of the seventh annual, contention of the North Carolina Baakera' Association was given over yesterday to recreation and pleasure, in the' delightful trip down the riyer on the steamer "WI1-. Untogtan,'' nevertheless an important business session of the organization Was $ held aththt at the Seashore Hotel uponVwhieh there wasan in creased attendance and at which there was marked enthusiasm. . The meet ing Was called to order at 9 o'clock by President Montcaatle and was featured by the reading of annual reports and appointment of committees. , The ex ercises were opened with a very fer vent prayer by the Bev. James Car- j michael, D- D-t after which roll call of members by Secretary Evans showed that 75 banks and banking Institutions were represented by from one to half a dozen delegates, the attendance be ing the largest in the history of the Association. A - number of. prominent vlaiting bankers were introduced, including Mr. Oaldwell Hardy, of Norfolk. president of the American Bankers Association; Mr. W. A. Law, Merchants1 National Bank, of Philadelphia; H. M. Oarr, Norfolk National Bank; T. E. Sands, of California; W.J. Boddey, Bock Hill, 8. C., and many' others,' eight States in all having : been repre sented. Mr. M. B. Gatling, president of the Virginia Bankers' Association, was recognized as among "those . in at tendance and was asked to take a seat upon the platform. Upon motion, the reading of the minutes was dispensed : with and the Association listened-with pleasure to The President's Annus! Address. President Montcsstle began his ex cellent address by referring to what a delight It cave the busy banker to get away from his desk and : spend a few days on the shore of the great Atlan tic. No more delightful place could have been selected and all feel grate ful to the Wilmington hosts for the opportunity of enjoying the cooling breezes of Old Ocean. He congratu lated the Association upon the fact that its affairs are in such healthy con dition, with the largest membership In Its history. Two meetings of the Ex ecutive , 'Committee were necessary during the year, the attendance of both sessions having been good, only one member having been absent at the last Several very important recom mendations' were made to the Legisla ture, one of which was adopted, the most important having failed in the rush of liquor legislation. The repeal of the "three-days-of-grace" law was -strenuously urged by the committee but it lacked sufficient support to be erased from the statute books. Incom ing officers and committees were urged to keep the matter before the people. Lawmakers as a class are not friendly to bankers' Interest : and "populism" and "populistie ideas" have not been eradicated from our legislative halls : so bankers had best take courage and thank God the laws are no worse than they are. . . , - j- ' ''iw- No panicky , feeling has existed ex cept in some localities . where it paid to have a little panic and a squeeze''now and then. Money is getting to a more level rate throughout the country and country bankers had as well face the fact that sooner or later they . must compete with metropolitan bankers on firsbolass commercial paper. In North Carolina , prosperity seems to be the rule and not the exception. - Oar fact ories of all kinds bear the ear-marks of Hdvance. The great majority - are mak ing money and- paying satisfactory dividends. - Most . of them are con ducted upon safe and V conservative methods, though in some communities competition is so treat, accounts are taken from which a profit is impossi ble and which oftentimes sbow a loss by reason of the large volume of out- of-town cheeks handled without charge. Another bad practice and one on the Increase is paying Interest on time deposits. Tnespeaker failed to see where such deposits at the prevailing rate, are any thing but a lost!; He be lieved the. rate on time certificates should be reduced to S r per cent, as a maximum and at that rate there is only a small margin of profit A "-v ? - The most interesting national ques tions to the banker ' were , specified as the. agitation of currency legislation and Mr. Aldrlch's bill to amend the Independent Treasury Law. Both bills tend in the right direction, but of the two the -amended Fowler Bill offers most relief, permitting a moderate ex pension of the national bank currency. Its passage, or that of any. other relief bill, by Congress, however.is question able ;the people one would expect-to sup sort the measure either are outspoken asrainst it or refuse to take Interest. I Is opposed by men who have clamored for years for more ourrencybecauan. it would Increase the - circulating medium; it is stigmatized as Impru dent banking by men who are persis tent, if not consistent, opponents of banks ; it is described as dangerous, tho' supported by yeare ofjBxperlence here and abroad bv . men who would, if they could, frame a financial system that would .-violate every, teaching of domestic and foreign experience. '. The national b& circulation has not enough flexibility; 'it has about spentits force.- There is little or no increase in circulation when most money is needed; there - la; little con traction and often an increase 'when the need is passed. This great, rich and prosperous country is disgraced by a dangerous .monetary stringency verging on i panic which recurs as regularly as .'. Providence . blesses us with a harvest, and the more lliheral Providence is . with the, harvest the more serious Is the Autumnal strin gency due to financial stupidity. The Fowler bill will not afford a complete monetary system ; it does not go as far as experience warrants, but It would be a step in the right direction. Concluding his splendid address, President Montcaatle thanked the As sociation for the high honor conferred upon him, and the Executive Commit tee and the efficient secretary who have materially aided him in his work. Secretary's Annusl Report. ? The report , of the popular secretary of the Association, Mr. Chas, N. Evans, of Charlotte, followed the an nual address pf the president Refer ring to the machinery of the "office Mr. Evans said about 800 special letters. some 8,000 circular letters, books, pamphlets, "eta, -had been handled during the y ear.- Meetings of the ex ecutive committee at Greensboro last uecember and at Charlotte in March were referred to. Mr. tfvans spoke gratifyingly of the fact that during the past year banking has taken a great impetus In the State. More banks and banking institutions were char tered by the General Assembly of 1903 than by any previous body and those which have opened for business ahow reasonable success. It Is noted that the amount of capital employed in banking in the State Jias increased since July 1903 more than $1,600,000. Combined assets of State and savings banks and trust companies show at present an aggregate of nearly twenty- five millions, which added to assets of national banks makes a grand total of forty-three million These resources are usually kept actively employed. At this time there are 177 banks and trust companies In the State and ! 125 of them or 72 per cent, have membership in the Bankers' Associa tion. The 'Increase during . the past year was 84 banks, or 37 per cent Upon conclusion of the .secretary's report. Col. Jno. F. Bruton, of Wil son, made a report of the 28th annual convention of the American Bankers' Association at New Orleans in Novem ber, last year, paying a high compli ment to the address by Jos. G.

Vaughan, Greensboro. .. ; Excarsloa Down the River, f The excursion by the bankers and their lady friends down the river., on the steamer "Wilmington" yesterday morning was a delightful trip despite the. occasional heavy downpour of rain. .' There were about three hun dred persons on the' boat, f in cluding regular travellers - and a large number of Wilmington people, the banks of the city having ""closed for the day In order to give their em ployes the benefit of the day's outing.
