Judge Adams, successor to Judge
Neal begins his , career on the bench
by holding Johnson, court this week.
Roosevelt should bave learned by
this time that his calling men liars
does not cqnvinoa the public that their
statements are not true.
Some people seem to be afraid Taft
is going to sweep the. Democratic par
ty of the South right into the "lap of
the Republicans'.- There is no ground
for such fear. ' '
T-h Jtfews and Observer; speaks edi
torially of "those mugmuinps who went
back on their raising" at the North
Carolina society banquet in New York
the other evening,
No doubt Governor Glenn feels
grateful to Judge Neal for giving, such
short notice of his intended retire
ment from the bencb. It saved him
much annoyance. V.
If Mr. Roosevelt knows so positively
that no American goVany of tnat Pan
ama canal purchase money, why doW
he not show how he knows it by show
ing from the records who did get it?
They are after nta already, sings
Taft Some of -his party men are try
ing to raise a row over what he said
about standing no f foolishness from
Congress on the tariff revision ques
tionor words to that effect.
Investigation by the coroner shows
that two childrenMn Winchester, Pa.,
died of hydrophobia from eating sau
sage. The coroner should carry the
inquiry further and find out what kind
of animal those sausages were made
of.
Taft's "unconcealed desire" to
break the Solid South cannot come
from an opinion that his party needs
the votes in tha national election or
to control the federal Congress, for it
has these without any votes from the
South. .
Congressman Claude Kitchin says
he will be for Bryan for President in
1912, "for" says he "I never heard of
a man being defeated four time for
the Presidency." How many has he
ver heard of running for that office
after being defeated three times?
Jovernor Glenn s quoted in Wash-j
ington dispatches as saying that he J
ouid be a candidate for Congress in
a-i t
iae Fifth district two years hence; "if
the people thought it best for the par
ty for him to do so"another"case of
supposed party necessity expected to
arise, we suppose.' - ' . . -
After all that has "been said in the
Press about the Governor, having no
authority to fill a vacancy ihthe na
tional House of Representatives ' the
Winston-Salem Journal remarks that
would be "a graceful thing for Gov
ernor Glenn to appoint Mr. Morehead,

North Carolina Delegation to Rivers
and Harbors Congress Much Pleas- -:
v erf Wiith Work of Convention. '
St'at? Association.. ' " , '
The Wilmington delegation to - the'
National Rivers and Harbors Congress
have returned to the city and : speak
most enthusiastically of the work of
that great body 'the story of which in
general has been carried from: day to
day in the Associated Press dispatch
es.
The. convention was easily the larg
est' and "most influential ever assem
bled in this interest. North Carolina
was especially well represented
through the delegates from the -State
Waterways Association and while the
work of the Congress was ''for a poli
cy, rather than a project," it is well
to-know tha!t the . interests of Wilming
ton and the State were not lost sight
of in the deliberations of the great assembly.-
The North Carolina Water
ways Association was-honored with
the selection of both a director and a
vice president of the National organ
ization while the Association was also
given an appointment on each of the
convention committees. - ;
: Hon: Job. E. Ransdell presided over
the body and the first day. was featur
ed byaddresses from Presieht Roose
velt and Presidentelect Taft, each of
whom committed himself to the
policy of the improvement o water
ways all. over tihe country, as conserve
Ing pur. National resources. The only
damper upon the enthusiasm of the
great . convention was" thrown by the
cool, calculating "Uncle Joe" Cannon,'
who? referred to the big deficit in the
Treasury and the need of conserva
tism in dealing with the great ques
tions in hand.
It is a compliment to , the North
Carolina Waterways Association that
a resolution outlined, by it was later
adopted by the General Rivers and.
Harbors Congress. This resolution
declared for an issue of not exceeding
f.fty millions -of bonds for waterways
improvement for such projects as may
have .a ready beeh approve, by the
Board of Engineers, U. S. A or may
hereafter be approved by any commis
sion or body to whom the matter may
be referred, and for such projects as
may now be under way.
' The : j speeches at the convention
were extremely ,interestingand h-;
structive -and the personnel;: of the
body' is expected to have great weight
and influence upon the Congress of
the' United States now in session.
While in Washington the members
of the .North Oarolina Waterways As
sociation heldfc their annual meeting
and re-elected all the old officers, in
cluding .President Jas. H. Chadbourn,
and Secretary Meares Harriss, of this
city. The executive committee was
enlarged and strengthened and the
outlook is exceedingly encouraging.

The question of the establishment
of a public slaughter house or abattoir,
effecting a remedy of conditions that
are now admittedly far from satisfac
tory, as regards the native fresh meat
supply, and the building of a disposal
plant to take care . of the refuse of the
city, other than the ordinary street
garbage, was the subject of a some -
what lengthy and enlightening, discus
sion yesterday afternoon at a- special
called meeting of the County Board
of Health,, composed of all the regis
tered physicians in the county, many
of whom; were present. . '
After sl very free discussion of con
ditions, rales : and regulations "design
ed to provide an immediate temporary
remedy were recommended to the San
itary Board of the county and a com
mittee was authorized to confer with
the' latter board with a view of per
manently remedying conditions in the
slaughter of fresh meats, either by
means if -an abattoir or rigid inspec-.
tion, either,, or . both of which will re

County Commissioners, then referred
to the Countv Sanitary Board, which
had appointed a committee to Investi
gate and which had called the meet
ing of the County Board of Health.
Drs. Wood and R. H. Bellamy, of the
investigating committee, each report
ed to the Board the result of their
findings, one of them declaring that it
really seemed that Wilmington could
get ideas from the Middle Ages on
matters of public Health. They strong-
Jly urged that something ba- done at

clearly intolerable. They strongly
commended the work being done by
Dr. T. B. Carroll, the city veterinarian

City Board of Health during the past
several, years and gave Information
that he and Dr. Carroll had gathered
from other cities. Dr. Carroll was

inspection and regulation. Drs. W. J.

Representatives Godwin and Tfiomas
Introduce Bill For Building Levee"
in
Pender and Bladen" Coun
ties $100,000 Provided.
(Special Star Correspondence.)
Washington, D. C, Dec. 12. Repre
sentatives Godwin and Thomas intro
duced today a bill in the House of
Representatives, appropriating - $100,
000 or so much thereof as may be nec
essary to construct a Jevee-or tevees
at Kelly's Core on theOape Fear river,
in Bladen county, N. G.
The bill provides for the levees to
be constructed under the direction of
the War Department.
-It will be remembered that during
the floods of August and September,
J.908, the water in the Cape Fear
river rose to the highest point known
and a. considerable portion of the
country lying between the Cape. Fear
river and the Black river was entirely
flooded by an escape of water from the
Cape Pear river at a low point near
Kelly's. . Cove. The water passing
from there across the country to Black
river completely flooded French's
Creek township in Bladen county and
Canetuok township in -Pender county.
The bill will have the hearty co
operation of both Representatives
Godwin and Thomas, as great benefits
will be derived from the construction
of this levee, from the people of Bla
den in Mr. Godwin s district and the
people of Pender in Mr. TohmasV dis
trict. The bill authorizes and directs the
Secretary of War o cause to be erect
ed on the Cape Fear river a levee or
levees from Jthe ' old French's Creek
church at Kelly's Cave, on the fiver,
to Kelly's Mill, a distance of about
two miles and about 150 yards at the
mouth of Natmore Creek for the pre
vention of the overflow of the Cape
Fear river and for the maintenance of
the natural channel of the Oape Fear
river.

THE FINAL PROCEEDINGS
Fine Address by Presiding Officer Just
Before Adjournment Question'
of Fermented or Unferment--Wines
The Cigarette
(Special Star Telegram.)
Durham, N. C, Dec. 14. The seventy-second
annual Methodist Confer
ence adjourned this afternoon sine die
The last day of the Conference was &
busy one, there being a great raft of
business to dispose of 'and in the final
wind up there were two" features that
were of more than usual interest. -
One was' the address of the BisbopY
just before the announced his appoInV
ments and the other was the1 fight
over the question of using fermented1
or unfermented wine in sacrament.
The wine question drew out a string
of argument from many of the mem
bers while it was generally observed
that the whole fight was unnecessary.
It came up on . a resolution presented
by Rev, R. L. Davis and signed by vi
number, asking that in the future un
fermented wine -be used. Many took
a stand against this and It was finally
settled by the question's being tabled-
In the same connection the commit
tee on temperance asked that f the
preachers cry out against the use of
cigarettes. . The Bishop in a passing?
remark said that it would be better 'tot
urge parents to spank the boys. That
was his position on the matter. The
question was not put to a vote "
- Many of the reports of the day were
exhaustive and showed the work done.
The submission of these reports re
quired a great deal of time and it was
some time after the adjournment hour .
