The National Project Congressman Small. . r : -- V.I i Upwards of fifty delegates from a dozen principal sea and inland ports from half that number of States on ! the South Atlantic Seaboard, the most representative men from their "respec tive business communities, were pres ent yesterday at the second annual meeting of the Inland Water Ways As sociation, which was held in this city with the Wilmington Chamber of Com merce. .In addition to the delegates there were a number of distinguished visitors, including Hon, F. M. Sim mons. United States Senator from North Carolina; Hon. John A. Fox, of Blytheville, Ark., a member of the Executive Committee of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, and others. Morning-, and afternoon ses sions were held, each being marked by an earnestness and an enthusiasm the kind. The discussions were able. logical and bristling with facts that are bound to make their impress upon the minds of those in attendance re sulting jn great good in the great National scheme for the improvement of our great natural highways. The meeting was in every way a success; every man present came with a" defi nite end in view; that end was at tained during the sessions and all will carriers will make the early morning lretu to eir homes with a greater in which -the entire country should oe enlisted. He also spoke of the prac ticability of having Congress adopt the entire scheme at the outset f pr the improvement of all the coast without regard to any one project. Mr. C. H Forrest, representing the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Asso ciation, of Baltimore, Md., was nexi introduced and in a brief but well de livered address urged the importance of. the work and treated its scope in a comprehensive and interesting man ner. He was heard with great inter est and was easily recognized as one oi the leading spirits in the enter prise. Through President J. A. Taytor, the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce extended members of the Association a very cordial invitation to become scarcely attained in an assembly ofj guests of the Chamber of Commerce delivery and collection and the money order and registry departments will be closed, during' the entire day.

C, at his post as secretary. In calling the meeting to order President Chadbourn referred to the importance of the Work in hand and gave a history of the organiza tion of the Association in Columbia, S. C, two years ago. He introduced Hon. A. M. Waddell, Mayor of the city, who in behalf of Wilmington, bade the visitors a most hearty welcome. He referred to his own experience in Con gress thirty years ago, when he advo cated the improvement of the inland Water ways of the coast, but could attain no success because of the feel ing of the times. Capt. James D. McNeill, of Fayette ville, made the response in behalf of the Association, his speech being char acteristic of the man, cordial, witty and eloquent. Hon. John H. Small, of the First District of North Carolina, easily the most influential man in the body, was first introduced and made what might aptly be termed the key-note address of the entire meeting. The history and feasibility of the project was care fuly gone over and the progress of the movement up to the present time was succinctly outlined- It is regretted that With the mass of other detail pro ceeding of the convention, the speech cannot be printed in full this morn ing. Mr. Small's address was greatly enjoyed by the Association and he was given a vote of thanks for his splendid discussion of the work in hand. Maj. E. J. Hale, of Fayetteville, a member of the Executive Committee of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, was next introduced and spoke briefly but encouragingly of the relation of the inland water way scheme to the work of the National organization. Maj. Hale is a delight ful speaker, his observations are couched in the most elegant English and the pity is that his address was I not more at length. Maj. Hale told of his first introduction to the idea of inland water way improvement in En gland years ago and of his research upon the subject in later years with particular reference to the plan for' the improvement of the upper Cape Fear. He, with the oher speakers, both jmorning and afternoon, warmly commended the work of Mr. Small in interesting the Nation in the project for the canadizatioh of the inland route from Norfolk, Va., to Beaufort, N- C, as the initial step in .the greater undertaking that will embrace the en tire Atlantic Coast from Massachu setts to Florida. Mr. J. A. Taylor, president of the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, discussed inland water ways as -affecting port rates upon wjhich are based the rail rates of the entire coun try, affecting not only the coast cities, but all the interior. He, therefore, argued that it should be a campaign for a special trip to Fort Caswell the following day. The steamer leaves this morning at 10.30 o'clock and sev eral of the members have remained over in the city for the purpose of vis iting the great fortifications of the army at the mouth of the Cape Fear rivei. There was much incidental discuss ion by a number of the members with special reference to the press reports of the proceedings of the body, the Association recognizing the value of the widest dissemination of its views upon the subject being treated. The committee on resolutions made report through Chairman H. W. Mal loy and the report was laid on the table for action at the afternoon ses sion. The committee was composed of Messrs. H. W. Malloy, J. A. Taylor, of Wilmington; E. B. -Taylor, of eBBbkfT H rtf aekson of and Hon. JTH. Small- Other commit tees were announced by the president as follows: Finance J. A. Taylor, Wilmington; E. B. Clark, of Columbia; C H. For rest, of Baltimore; H. R. Jackaonr of Charleston, and Col. Pleasant A. Sto vall, of Savannah. Nominations W. D. Morgan, of Georgetown, S. .C. ; J. D. McNeill, of Fayetteville; George T. Leach, of Washington, and J. J. Wolfenden, of Newbern. It was stated that the arrangements had been made through the courtesy of Maj. Joseph E. Kuhn, of the Corps Of U. S. Engineers, for a trip about the harbor on the government yacht Mercur, but the proceedings of the morning session continued rather longer than expected and the pleas ure had to be foregone. Senator Simmons, Congressman Charles R. Thomas and the Morehead City and Beaufort delegation arrived on the afternoon train just before ad journment of the morning session and were given a cordial welcome. A re cess was taken at 1:30 o'clock to meet at 3 o'clock in the afternoon in Pyth ian Castle Hall in the Murchison Bank building. The Afternoon Session. The delegates were slow in assem bling for the afternoon session and it was nearly 4 o'clock when the meet ing was called to order in the more handsomely appointed quarters. There was an increased attendance. The president introduced Mr. Fox, of Ar kansas, who is traveling in the special interest of the work of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress. He is a man full of his work, an Interesting and forceful speaker and delivered pos sibly the best general address of the convention. He made an especial plea for the concentrated effort for Na tional improvement without regard to sections, citing the benefits and illus trating them from the extensive ca nalization on the preat Lakes. Fig ures and statistics were at his finger's tips and he had the rare and happy faculty of making the statistics any thing but dry. Eminent authorities on railway traffic were quoted to show that the land transportation compa nies were not averse to this scheme of internal improvements, for the very goo J reason that it was to their ad vantage to have the increased and more desirable traffic brought about by waterway transportation companies. He . submitted the proposition that were the National Congress the di icctors of any well regulated railroad system there would mot be a moment's hesitation in improving these great highways even should the work have to be undertaken by bond issue. Mr. Fox referred to the enormous expen ditures of the National Government MANY BEFORE MAYOR A CALL TO FARMERS Twenty Cases All Told Disposed of Cotton Association Urgently in Need Yesterday in Police Court One "Pfficer Prosecutor in Twelve Several to Roads. of Funds to Prosecute the Work Raleigh First PresDyterian Church Free From Debt. Twenty cases all told required the attention of the Mayor in the police court yesterday, tde docket being the heaviest in months. From all accounts there was . much disorder in the out lying districts of the city night before last, but the police seem to have put an , early quietus on v affairs, judging from the record of arrests. Of the twenty cases at the bar yesterday, Policeman Leon George appeared as the arresting officer in twelve, a record that has not been surpassed by a sin gle officer in some time. Amanda Johnson, colored, and a nectarine goddess of ebony hue known as "Honey" Crawford, were arraigned for a fight fast and furious in "Brook lyn." They were each given 30 days on the farm for their personal en counter with an additional 30 nays for being common vagrants "Sister" McMillan, as black as the proverbial ace of spades, shared sim ilarly in a double sentence to the farm, she having been guilty of disor derly conduct and drunkenness. Ra chel Roberts also received 60 days for being disorderly and allowing time to hang too heavy on her hands. Kate Swann, colored, was given an even j indebtedness, the free will offering 30 days in the country for disorder, ion that day being $925, the amount (Special Star Correspondence.) Raleigh, N. C, Nov., 27. Secretary T; B. Parker of the North Carolina division of the Southern Cotton Grow ers' Association has issued an urgent letter to the cotton farmers of the State urging that they attend the general couny meeings o be held December 1st and that they pay in with the least possible delay the association's dues, a very small cent- of which has yet been paid. He tells them that the expenses of Presi dent Moore, Secretary Parker and others in the work of organizing have not anything like been met and that the time has come for the farmers to show their appreciation of the ben efits afforded them by the Association by paying their dues. It is under stood that if there is not a very de cided improvement in" the financial support given by farmers to the asso ciation in its efforts in holding up prices it will necessarily have to be suspended. The congregation of the First Pres byterian church observed Sunday as a day of great rejoicing in celebra tion of the last payment on the church G. W. McMillan, a white man, was raising merry hades at his house Mon day 'night an was threatening to kill a neighbor who remonstrated with him about his conduct. He was fined $10 and costs. The other cases were those for ordinary drunkenness and disorderly conduct, the defendants being let off with the costs needed to finally settle the last of a mortgage of $7,000 that had been on the church for the past ten years The present edifice cost $36,500 and was erected in 1897 and 1898. It took the place of a church which cost $17,000 in 1818 with Rev. William McPheeters as pastor. During the past ten years this congregation has, so it is stated, by the pastor, Dr. A. H.

Mr. Fox closed with an invitation for all the commercial bodies repre sented to send delegates to the Na tional Rivers and Harbors Congress in Washington, D. C, December 6th and 7th. , Hon- Charles R. Thomas, of New bern, representative of the Third North Carolina District and, an able assistant of Congressman Small in his great inland water way project, was the next speaker and assured the Association of his hearty co-operation in the movement. Upon suggestion ofMr. Fox, who pledged the support of the Mississippi valley, Major E. J. Hale made a motion that Mr. Small be endorsed for appointment to the vacancy on the Rivers and Harbors Committee of Congress, caused by the death of Hon. Rufus E. Lester, of Georgia . The mo tion was seconde'd by Mr. W. L. Ca hoon, of Elizabeth C.ty, Mr. Forrest, of Baltimore and others. Maj. Hale, Mr. James Sprunt and Col. Stovall were named as a. committee to place the sense of the meeting in this re spect in form of a resolution, and af ter retiring they returned with the following which was unanimously adopted, with enthusiasm, the name of each delegate in attendance being signed for their respective commercial organization: To the Hon. John Sharp Williams, House of Representatives, Wash ington, DC. At the meeting of the Inland Water way Association, held in the city of Wilmington, N. C, Tuesday, Novem ber 27, 1906, a resolution was unani mously passed recommending Hon. John H. Small, Representative from the First District in North Carolina, a-s the successor of the late Hon. Ru fus E. Lester, of Georgia, on the Com mittee of Rivers and Harbors. While we understand, of course, that this is entirely within the prerogative of the Speaker of the House, we re spectfully ask your consideration of our views in this regard, because of the eminent fitness of Mr. Small for this position, and his active and effec tive interest in the work which will come before the committee. E. J. HALE, Chrmn Committee. Maj. E. W. VanC. Lucas, of Wil mington; Col. Stovall, of Georgia; Mr. Cahoon, of Elizabeth City; Mr. For rest, of Baltimore and others spoke to the resolution, warmly commending Mr. Small and. bis work, prior to the adoption; of the endorsement.
