The country will be surprised if it sets a surprise in the way of reduc tion of the tariff at this session of Congress. Uncle Sam seems to think there is a war on down in Central America whether the people there admit the fact or not. The Legislature did not do all that was promised, but it did so much bet ter than was expected of it that the people ought to be content. If Taft undertakes to act as buffer to the ' insurgents" and the "regulars" he may find he has some painful bruises when the thing is over. ' How come" they didn't put the Re publican brand on Dickinson right af ter the election instead of waiting un til Taft took him into the Cabinet? The House of Representatives had to kick up a storm of its own at its opening in order to keep up with the kind of inauguration nature gave Taft. It took Speaker Cannon a long time to learn that the rules of the House ought to be amended along the line accomplished by the Democrats and 'insurgent" Republicans on Monday. If you go by the punishments im posed by some judges in this State they grade the violation of the prohi bition law as a greater crime than larceny and even than manslaughter. Was it because Colonel Cooper was one of the blue-blooded aristocracy of Tennessee that he was allowed to steal .thousands of dollars of the public lundy and not be punished therefor? rho Xews and Observer says Ra ki8h vote the special tax for uublic schools.

The Wilmington branch of the State Retail Merchants' Association perfect ed its organization at a largely attend- Jed and most representative meeting of ' J 1 i , m x. j x. ueaiers in quite every line at tne jourx. House last night, pursuant to adjourn-, ment of the preliminary gathering" last Thursday evening. v j During the interim of the meetings, State Organizer E. E. Andrews, of Asheville, accompanied much of the time , by leading local retailers, made an even more thorough canvass of the retailers of the city and those present last night were pleased to hear that he had interested in the local associa tion 125 merchants with others ex pected to affiliate later. The meeting was called to order by President A. M. Hall, who briefly re viewed the progress of organization up to that time and spoke enthusias tically of the benefits of the Associa tion, laying, especial emphasis upon the value of the credit information it will be able to disseminate among members and the moral influence of such an organization in the communi ty. He said that while the goal had been only 100, the membership had already reached 125 and Mr. Andrews had not yet completed his canvass-of the city. The State Organizer followed Mr. Hall and spoke generally of the pur poses of the Association and paid high compliment to Wilmington and the personnel of , its business men. He was listened to with much interest up on the work of the Association in the State and some of the things it is striving for and some of the things it has already occomplished. He show ed that while jobbers would not at tempt to do business without the cre dit information furnished by Dunn and Bradstreet, the retailers were totally at sea as to their 'customers and com pletely at the mercy of every shark who cares to presume upon their knowledge of human nature. The former meeting having select ed Mr. Hall president and Mr. B. C. Mooe, vice president, the completion of the' organization was taken up with the unanimous election of Mr. Joseph A Price treasurer, upon motion of Mr. Ike Solomon and second by several. The, president explained that it was desired as nearly as possible to have the directorate represent as nearly as possible every line of business includ ed in- the Association and at the sug gestion of Mr. Henderson Cole, a nom inating committee composed of Mes srs. Cuthbert Martin, I. W. Solomon, R. F. Hamme, Henderson Cole and M. D. Bright was appointed to retire and Muggiest suitable nominations. The committee reported, recommending Messrs. Geo. S. Boylan, J. M. Solky, Henry Haar, Cuthbert Martin, F. A. Bissinger and R. E. Blake and these were unanimously elected. Members of the Board of Directors are ex officio chairmen of the standing committees which will be announced later. It was decided to refer the matter of constitution and by-laws and the elec tion of a secretary to the Board of Directors for recommendation 'to ano ther meeting to be held on the second Tuesday night in April, the 8th, at which time it is hoped to get the As sociation in working shape and in run ning order by the first of May. It was explained that the secretary of the Association, who would also have charge of the credit bureau, should be a live wire in the community and a man of good judgment and pleasing address, worthy of a good salary for effective service. The Board of Di rectors and officers of the Association will entertain applications until a suit able man is employed. BANQUET AT Y. M. C. A.

Dr. Jos. Akerman, president of the Asso ciation, spoke most Interestingly and profitably on "Our Duty to the Mem bers," and tbia topic, "What Next?" was very interestingly developed by Jos.

JAMES EXTENDS CALL i Rev. Mr. Covington, of Sumter, S. Asked to Become Rector of Leading Episcopal Parish in Wilmington. - It became officially known yesterday that through a committee which visa ed him this week, the vestry of Saittt James Episcopal Church has extende a call to the Rev. Mr. Covington, of Sumter, S. C, to become rector of th& parish here, succeeding Rev. m Hogue, who resigned several mont ago to take up work -at the Unive: ty of North Carolina. Although Rev. Mr Covington is very pleasantly situated in Sumter, having; married Miss T.pi n mmnpr rtf nri& of the leading families in that citj ! tne vestry or St. James are very nope ful of his acceptance. An answer il expected from him in a few days. About six weeks ago a committee fronj the vestry went to Sumter, heard Mr. Covington preach and were delighted with him as a man and as a rector. Upon the report of this committee to the vestry, it was decided to send a committee to extend him a call to the parish here and accordingly Mes srs. J. V. Grainger, S. M.atwright and Capt. James I. Metts went to Sumter on Sunday, also heard him preach and extended the unanimous call. He is a young man in the thir ties and has a small family. He is spoken of as a profound thinker, an eloquent speaker and a man of most engaging personality, being active among the young people of his parish, chaplain of his local military company and of the volunteer fire organization of Sumter. He is held in the very highest esteem by his parish in the South Carolina city and he will be given upjthere only with the greatest regret. ODD FELLOWS' ANNIVERSARY.

' 'C - - 1 SCHOOL TAX CARRIES Raleigh Gave 459 Majority For Additional Support in Elec tion Held Yesterday. " NO CLUE TO PETERSON His Appearance in Raleigh Subject of Much Speculation I rate House holder Took Shot at Impu . ' dent Negro. (Special Star Telegram.) Raleigh, N. C, March 16. Raleigh township gives 459 majority for a spe cial school tax of fifteen cents on the hundred dollars valuation of property and fifty-five cents on the poll to make Uhe city schools nine months Instead fof six months to which they were cut by the loss of the erstwhile t Raleigh dispensary revenue. The vote was against a registration of 1,849, the vote for the tax being 1,154, a majority of 459 for the special tax. Deep mystery surrounds the alleged appearance of O. R. Peterson in this city in that he was just seen once for a few minut-es by Henry Duboy who knew him well three years ago and then the young man rushed off under control of some evident hallucination due to his nervous and physical col lapse. Peterson is the young tele graph operator who disappeared so mysteriously from his home in Wil mington some weeks ago and has been thought to have been lost in the svamps of that section owing to his vfery feeble condition. He was well known here, having served both the Postal and Western Union telegraph companies' and also taken Associated Press in the office of the morning pa p;r. Henry Duboy, himself a tele grapher knew him well and is posi tive that it was Peterson whom he met in the Tucker Pharmacy. The closest search by friends has failed to develop a single clue astO"-what could have become of the young man. The argument of appeals from the Seventh district was begun today tfrere being seven appeals from Cum berland, Columbus and Robeson coun-j ties. State vs. Lewis Freeman, Cum berland; State vs. L. C. Jackson, Cum berland; State vs. Julius McKoy, Rob eson; State vs. Neill Britt.and Ida Da vis, Robeson; MacRackin vs. Atlantic Coast Line. Columbus, Melvln vs. In surance Co., Columbus, and Ford vs. Stroud, Robeson. Mrs. Frank Wilson, wife of a well known restaurant keeper here stirred a considerable sensation by going with a 38-calibre revolver to lecture Will Crpwder, colored, tne husband of her fcfithful cook who had come to her in tears to say that Crowder had whip ped her terribly during the night. Mrs. Wilson found the cruel husband at the tenement with W. L. Sanderford, a second hand furniture dealer with whom he was negotiating for a sale of the furniture to break up house keeping. She proceeded' to send the dealer away on double quick time, he declaring afterwards that he never saw such careless handling of a weap oji, and then she lectured the negro roundly and capped the climax with a shot at him as he ran off at top speed. She says he answered her impudently. It seems that the furniture is really the property , of the wife, the- negro Crowder having very recently come in from a service of several months on the county roads for retailing. The commencement of the Baptist University for Women is to be held May 23rd to 25th. The baccalaureate sermon will be Sunday, May 23rd at 11 o clock, by Dr. E. Y. Mullins, presi dent of the Southern Theological Sem inary, Louisville, Ky., and the mis sionary sermon by Dr. John H. Eager, of Baltimore. The literary address for the graduation exercises May 25th will be by United States Senator Dol iiver. of Iowa. ST. MATTHEW'S CHURCH. Annual Congregational Meeting Last Night Great Progress Shown. The annual congregational meeting of St. Matthew's English Lutheran Church was held last night and was well attended. There were reports from all standing committees and offi cers, showing .that the past year was one of the most prosperous in the his tory of the congregation, the first full year of the pastorate of Rev. George j S. Bearden having been singularly blessed both in the spiritual and ma terial upbuilding of the church. The Sunday School, under the capable lea dership, of Mr. W. W. Koch superin tendent, showed an increase of over 90 per cent, while in all lines of work a greater activity and more splendid results were shown. The finances of the church are in good shape and the congregation voted unanimously on an increase of the pastor's salary $120 per year. It was also decided to en large the Board of Deacons from four to six and this -was .accomplished by the election of Mr. J. Thomas and Mr. C. O. Morgan. Other officers of the church were elected last year for two years and no election of these was held last night. Rev. Mr. Bearden and" ;his officers of St. Matthew's are to be congratulated upon the fine showing made in all the reports last night. It, will he too "late, to register, after the week is gone.; - See: the . registrar at your polling placetoday , - HEAVY FROST REPORTED Strawberries Unprotected Damaged One-Third in Some Localities Vegetables Receive a Set back, But Few Killed. From nealy all sections of the East ern Carolina trucking belt heavy frosts are reported yesterday morning and some damage to crops has been done, but to what extent it will require sev eral days of sunshine to determine. It is believed, however, that the dam age will not be great. Around Wilmington the frost was perhaps tha lightest in the belt and will be felt Derhans no more than in "a setback of only a few days fof early vegetables. A long distance telephone message last night from Mr. E. D.j community will be the celebration of Pearsall, who has excellent opportuni-'v , . ... , .

Lettuce, radishes and cabbage in that territory were not hurt. Mr. Pearsall says that ice rormed a quarter of an inch thick and that the outlook last night was 'for an other light frost. A special telegram last night from Lumberton says: "One of the heav iest frosts of the Winter occurred this morning, the mercury falling to 2S. If any damage occurred, it cannot yet be estimated."

THE DANCERS ARRESTED Four Colored Women Before the Re corder for Disorderly Conduct. A dance at the home of Amelia Bradley, colored, on Sixth between Swann and Nixon streets on Monday night, proved a general sone of row dyism, and as a consequence Officers W. R.
