Disappointment that ;Honi E. 0 ; Smith of SouthvCarolina was Not, Present s AlEETTKfff IN COURr HOUSE President C. C Moore and Chairman. A. J. WcKinnon, of Executive Commmittee of Southern Cot- ..ton Association, Present; , . 'There , was much : disappointment among business men 'lait night that ' Hon. E. D. Smithy General Organizer ' of the Southern Cotton Association; did net reach the city - and speak:, to them at the Court House on the bond--; ed warehouse plan,' as had been . ex- v pected. Mr. Smith was to have jolnv ed President C. C. Moore and Mr. : A. J. McKinnon, chairman of the Ex ecutive Committee of the North Caro- " Una Division, here but he failed to do so and the fact that no word was re ceived from him is construed to mean that there was some ; misunderstand ing as to the date. President Moore and Mr. McKinnon . arrived yesterday afternoon, on the Seaboard Air Line train from . Maxton " and Lumberton, and were heard with'' much interest by a goodly number of ; business men at the Court House. This was in spite of several counter -attractions at both '"beaches and the hot, sultry"weather. The meeting was called to " order shortly after 9 o'clock by President. J. A. Taylor, of the Wilmington : Cham- ber of Commerce, who regretted the -i absence of Mr. Smith" and pleasantly- 1 introduced... . Mr. McKinnon, laying emphasis on the importance of ; the movement championed by the distin guished Visitors. - . Mr. McKinnon thanked Mr. Taylor ; for his kindly references and spoke v conversationally but earnestly in be half of the great cause of the cotton . grower . in the South, The , abolition' of the bucket shop in several of .the Soulhern States was spoken ofvas.one . of the great achievements of theAsso-i , ciation, .and the speaker paiddeserv- ed - tribute to its president, ' Harviey Jordan. Mr. : McKinnon was . given close attention and received applause at the conclusion of his remarks, which he said were, at ' random and In -no wise prepared. , , Mr. Taylor prefaced an introduction of Mr. Moore with a discussion of the;?'v cotton situation according, to his .per- sonal view, , making a plea for more care in preparing the staple for mar- j ket and more intelligence in market-, , - ing .the product. The speaker paid a high tribute to Mr. Moore in present- " ing him to the. audience.- Mr. Moore is well known and popu-. . lar in Wilmington. His approach to , the speaker's table was greeted with ; enthusiastic applause. He." came to his subject, he said, witHS trepidation, . because it1 was one of suchx great im- : portance. He had so muciu hoped lo have present Mr". . Smith,lwho was I nearer equal to the occasion: The bonded warehouse plan" he regarded ' as of more importance even tfiatf'Vithe'' ' proposition ' to make Wilmington 'h a great water gateway, as necessary ,C;, . was the latter project'. not only;. tob; ; the city, but to the State. Mr. Moored began with the Inception of the Souths;, era Cotton Asspciation and told of the men who were behind . this moveV ment, fraught ; w ith j so much impor-, tance to the South.'
