Favorable Notice of Wilmington I nsti

The Chicago Banker, a high-class
financial publication of the West, in
its issue of this -week prints an excel
lent half-tone likeness of President
John S. Armstrong, of the Atlantic
National Bank, of this city, with the
following brief sketch of the institu
tion and its executive officer:
"The Atlantic National, of Wilming

of $1,000,000 and is expanding rapid

Agent H. T. Bauman, of Wilmington;
Messrs. J. A. Brown, of Chadbourn; W.
L. Hill, of Warsaw; J. S. Westbrook, of
Wallace, and J. A. Westbrook, of
Mount Olive. Without transacting any
business, the committee proceeded in
a body and by appointment to the office
of Mr. Emerson, where the conference
was in progress from 11:30 to 1
o'clock. Representatives of the Ar
mour Car Lines met the truckers and
railroad officials promptly and the bus
iness was gone into immediately.
The committee was given absolute
assurance from the refrigerator car
people that 2,000 cars would be fur
nished to handle the crop to be de
livered upon requisition of the busi
ness agent of the Association through
the Atlantic Coast Line. In the mat
ter of loading, the truckers were en
abled to secure some concessions as
to the minimum car loads. The com
mittee also was given postive guaran
tee that special efforts would be put
forth to increase the efficiency of the
service in every way. At least 80 per
cent, of the equipment to be furnished
will be the large 40-foot cars instead
of the 36-foot cars of which a majority
have been furnished in the past and
which the Car Line people are now dis
placing as fast as possible with the
heavier equipment The overloading
of the cars and the resultant delivery
of the fruit in poor condition will be
People Do Not
Ownership.
(Communicated.)
Just a word in reply to the unwar
ranted assumption of yesterday even-
ng's Dispatch, that all the citizens
of Wilmington demand city ownership
of water works. We may all want bet
ter water, but do we wish to bind our
already heavily burdened tax-payers
by putting ourselves several hundred
thousand dollars in debt to run a water
works plant in competition with one
already fully supplying our needs In
jvery particular but one and having
i-acently made a contract that will
completely wipe out the one objec
tion? Do we wish to buy a stagnant
pond, outside the city limits, variable
in the supply and nature of its water,
which by -the most expert testimony, is
liable to have impurities from causes
that cannot exist in the tremendous
and rapid flow of the powerful stream
from which our water now comes? Do
we wish our streets torn up and an
other system of pipes run through our
already complicated system of gas
sewerage, and water work's pipes? Do
we wish to run the risk of tremendous
indebtedness at the start and large
losses for years in competition with a
company backed by some of our best
and most useful citizens? Do we wish
o put ourselves in the ridiculous light
or rusnmg into tnis coiiossai venture
on one single ground of complaint,
which is to be rectified by the mod
ern and complete filtration Dlant al
ready contracted for by the Clarendon
Water Works Company? Would not
the interest of the citizens they repre
sent, as well as the dictates of com
mon business sense, demand that the
Aldermen and the Board of Audit
and Finance examine this contract of
the Clarendon Works Company, and
prepare themselves to show the tax
payers whether it is satisfactory or
not? Our citizens have a right to

Raleigh, N. C, Dec. Governor
Glenn had a conference this afternoon
with the directors of the Raleigh State
Hospital for the insane regarding
changes in policy necessary to rid the
institution of the burden of support
of patients as indigent, who should be
required to pay, and left on the even
ing train for Morganton to hold a
similar conference with the directors
of the hospital there. A report from
Superintendent McKee, of the Raleigh
hospital, presented to the Governor,
shows 447 patients of whom 151 were
admitted during the year. The report
claimed only one patient in the hos
pital was able to pay for treatment
in a sanitarium. A list of patients,
giving the residence of each was sub
mitted to the Governor and he divid
ed them among the directors ac
cording to sections represented
with instructions to make-person-
al investigation as to whether the
patients or their people are really
indigent or could pay part or all of
their expenses in the hospital. He
told them if any found difficulty in as
certaining the condition of a particu
lar patient to report the case to him
and he would investigate. There is to
be a special sess'ion of the boards in
January to receive these reports of
directors. After the meeting His Ex
cellency left for Morganton to meet
with the directors of the State hospi
tal there when a similar course will
be pursued as to that institution.

only for the sake of the trucking in

as a notorious fact that Wilmington
has only one express north per day
and that the public and truckers would
be very responsive to the additional
disnatch reauested. Mr. Buckner said

thought, were very willing to grant the
