QUESTION OF RATES UjlOVnlW ftuuu aixu riWAlNivti BOARD The Board of Audit and Finance was in regular semi-monthly session last night at the City Hall, Chairman Mc Queen and all members of the Board in attendance. The work was largely routine and of no general interest Mayor Waddell and Chairman Yopp, of the Finance Committee of the Board of Aldermen, were present to urge con currence in several matters passed upon by the Aldermen at their meeting! Monday night. The Board took no action, but con curred in the request of the Aldermen that the Board of County Commission ers contribute a reasonable amount to ward the rebuilding of .one of the smallpox pest housesv-;jIe: opinion was also expressed that the county should co-operate with: the -city in the maintenance of the" quarantine guard there. The Mayor's arrangement with Con tractor C. H. Dock for working city prisoners at the rock quarry was hear tily occurred in and the suggestion was made that the contract be reduced to writing, which the Mayor stated was perfectly .agreeable. by the terms oi the agreement Mr. Dock will work, guard and provide food and shelter for the prisoners and pay the city 40 cents per day net for the services of each of them. Suitable quarters for the convicts are now being built by Mr. Dock at the- quarry. The matter of continuing the em ployment of Mr. F. T. Skipper in the office of the City Clerk and Treasurer for the purpose of collecting delin quent and unlisted tax amounts from persons who cannot be otherwise reached, was deferred until the next meeting, the term of Mr. Skipper's em ployment under the present arrange ment not expiring until January 9th, of the new year. It has always been customary to -employ an extra man" five months in the year, but the Al dermen are of the opinion that the ex tra man could be continued six months or permanently at a saving of much revenue to the city. The wages of the weigher and In spector of rock at the city quarry was made $9 per week as urged by the Board of Aldefmen, with satisfactory arrangements as to lost time. The matter of paying the City En gineer a salary was deferred until the beginning of the new fiscal year. The matter of paving Chesnut street, between Front and Water, with ,. Bel gian ' block was also deferred as" "the money necessary is not now in sight. Contracts for the -construction of the are boat were presented by Fire Chief Schnibben, but the matter Was deferr ed for first approval, by the Board of Aldermen. Extra pay forCapt. Robert Green, Chief Quarantine Officer, regular pay for Mr. Reaves, 'a member of the street force, ' who was sick- some time, and Policeman Leon George, who was .hurt while in the performance of his duty, Lwere. disposed ot according to adjust- fment of amounts as agreed upon in a fec-nt conference.

The railroad com pany", on the other hand, claims that if the lower rate was given other lum ber companies, it was because those comDanies re-shipped the manufac tured product to the northern markets by their lines, whereas the Hilton Lumber Co., did not.

Charley Rat- ley, colored, who shot Wilson Is at large though the police are making a persistent effort to capture him. Wilson came to Wilmington about three weeks ago and secured employ ment in Coakley's pool room. Last night about the hour named, a crowd was. playing on the tables, in the room and Ratley was a by-stander. He got in the way of some of the players and Wilson made him or pushed him aside. Ratley became very much en raged and was finally put out. He threateningly told Wilson, according to the story given the police by Coak ley. that if he would wait five min utes, Wilson would not push him again. He went off, presumably to his home near Fifth and Bladen streets, and returned in a few min utes with a double-barrelled, breech loading shot gun. He sat the gun down by the door and renewed the quarrel . As Wilson ' started out the door for some purpose, Ratley opened ! fire on bam, a heavy load of No. 2 shot from the gun tearing a great j hole in the right breast penetrating ! the lung. The wounded negro ran about 50 yards and fell dead. Mr. Isaiah West, who lives in thej vicinity ran over to the scene of the! disorder and arrested -uone of the! crowd who was coming out the back way but the prisoner subsequently got away. . Mr. West notified Capt. Smith, at the police station and Ser geants Woolard, Hardee and Police man Sneeden were hurriedly dispatch ed to the scene of the trouble, being joined there by other officers on duty and living In that vicinity. Coakley; the proprietor of the place where the shooting occurred and several others known to have been in the room, were arrested and locked up pending an in vestigation this morning at 10 o'clock by Dr.. C. D. Bell, the coroner, who went over and viewed the body a short time after the killing. It is stated that. soon-,, after the shooting, Ratley went to a store on Fourth street and bought a box of loaded shells, placing two of them in his gun. He then- disappeared toward Hilton park. While he was in the store, both barrels of the gun were accidentally discharged when the ne gro went to lock the breech. A police man was attracted by the noise, but it was not known then that Ratley was the man who did the shooting. Dr. Bell secured a number of wads from the load fired into the breast of Wilson. The wound indicates that the killing was at close range, not over six or eight feet. The body of the dead negro was . sent to County Un dertaker KingCs establishment and will be buried here unless his rela tives at Kinston want the remains shipped there.

To the Public: ' The government estimate of practi cally 10,168,000 bales of cotton should convince the most skeptical that the Southern Cotton Association was right In predicting a small crop of cotton and higher prices. I want to urge every cotton producing county to meet on next Saturday and elect their coun ty officers. and have their representa tive in Raleigh at the State meeting on January 3rd. If your county is or ganized you will undoubtedly do this; if it is not organized, it is your duty to see that there is an organization and that the organization is repre sented at this meeting. This is an in dividual responsibility, and if there is only one man in each county that is enthusiastically In earnest he can perfect his county organization, and be represnted. The Sotrthern Cotton Association is no longer in the experimental stage. but it is a fixed fact; it has succeed ed and is going to continue to suc ceed. The responsibility of its great er or less success is with the individ ual. Please let the cotton pledges go to Atlanta as fast as possible. A- J.
