Arrived from Charlotte to Confer With
Presidents Heye 4
Mr. Chas. N. Evans, of ..Charlotte",
who is to be cashier of the new South
ern Bank, of .Wilmington, arrived in
the' city yesterday to- confer , with Mr.
M.- J.THeyer, president - of the new
bank. Mr. "Evans has resigned as
cashier of the Merchant and. Farmer's
National Bank, of Charlotte, and: will
come to Wilmington to make his home
after the 10th of September. - . :
.The Charlotte Observer- of yester
day, says this in a report of the pro
ceedings of the Board of Directors
of the Charlotte bank with which Mr.
Evans has been associated:,..
The Board of directors of the Mer
chants & Farmers' National.: Bank, at
their meeting yesterday morning" re
luctantly accepted the resignation of
Mr. C. N. Evans, as cashier, and elect
ed Mr. W. Cr Wilkinson as his suc
cessor.
A number of the directors .expressed
themselves with' reference ' to Mr
Eyan&Vdepartur -iUtest&ninjia:p(i
their esteem and .regard the following
resolution was unanimously adopted
by the board:" . .. '''.
"Mr. C. N. Evans, having" tendered
his resignation as cashier of this bank,
to take effect September 10th, 1905,
the same, - upon his urgent request; is
accepted, and Mr." Geo. E. , Wilson
president of the bank, i3 requested.to
address to Mr. Evans a letter'express
ing to him the appreciation of the
Board of Directors for. his faithful and
efficient services as cashier, coupled
with the assurance that each member
of the Board of Directors parts with
him with reluctance and wishes him
much success in his new field."
Mr. Evans will remove to Wilming
ton the 10th of next month, so as to
be in readiness" for the opening on the
15th.
He leaves this morning to superin
tend some of the preliminary details.
He will return in a few days.
As secretary, and later president," of
the North Carolina Bankers' Asso
ciation, Mr. Evans is known over the
entire State. He is' regarded as one
of the foremost bankers of the South.
Wilmington is to be congratulated on
securing the services of such a well-
known banker.
Mr. Evans came to Charlotte in 1902
from Reidsville, where for a number
of .years he had been cashier of the
well-known Bank of Reidsville. He
succeeded Mr. Jno. M. Miller, Jrv as
cashier of the Merchants & Farmers'
Bank, and since his coming to the
city he has, by his foresight and
judgment, added -very materially to
the resources of this, one of Charlotte's
foremost moneyed Institutions. His
departure from Charlotte will be sore
ly missed, not only in his chosen
field, but in the social life ofthe city
ac well. Mr. Evans is one of the
type of the up-to-date business men.
There are entirely too few for even
one to be allowed to pass out of the
city's activities. Hence Charlotte re
grets exceedingly to lose Mr. Evans.
The Charlotte Chornlcle says:
Tnls resolution, duly engrossed.
was handed to Mr. Evans and accom
panylng it a personnal letter from
which Mr. Evans was too modest to
permit extracts, but of which he is
very proud. Mr. Evans will be the
cashier of the new Wilmington bank
when it starts business, and while
Charlotte heartily regrets giving him
up, It is proud of him and the best
wishes of hosts of warm friends here
attend him in his larger field of activ
ity. That it is a larger field from a
banking standpoint may be a surprise
to a great many, but it Is nevertheless
true that Wilmington has greater
banking resources by a million and a

Three Trains Arrived Yesterday Sea
board Brings 1,000.
Tho town was full of excursionists
yesterday. Three more excursions ar
rived here during the day. The first
one to reach the city was from Pee
Dee, S. C. This was a colored excur
sion and brought about 300 people.
They returned home last evening about
8 o'clock. -
The other two excursions were fqr
whites and both, were run under the
auspices of the Seaboard Air Line and
managed by Mr. Frank Gough. One
reached the city about 4 o'clock, com
ing from Charlotte. About 300 people
came on it The third and last excur
sion to reach the city got here about
8 P. M. from Rutherfordton: It was
under the personal suspension of Mr.
Gough and was by far the largest of
the season. There were 700 people on
board and it required 13 coaches and
two refreshment cars to accommodate
them. The excursionists were very
orderly and Mr. Gough states that
there was not a single outbreak of
any rodyism on the trip.
The excursionists, spent the night in
the city and on the beaches. Numbers
of them will go on the special trip
which the steamer Wilmington will
make out to sea today. The steamer
leaves at 9:15 this morning and will
return in time to make the - regular
5:15 trip to the pier.
Both excursions will leave on the
return trip tonight. The Charlotte ex
cursion goes out at 7:30 o'clock and
the Rutherfordton excursion will de
part a half hour later.
