What is at Stake:

Wilmington Star,
We have heretofore asserted
and we repeat it here that the
people of North Carolina were
never called upon to vote ut an
election on which more de-
pended than will depend upon
the election to be held on the 9th
of November. Whichever party
carries the election will have the
appointment of the county mag
istrates, and through these
the selection Of the Boards of
County Commissioners. Boards
of Education, and Boards
of Finances. Through these
boards they will practically have
control of all the counties in
the State. This is one reason
why the Fusionists are making
such strenuous efforts to cap
ture the Legislature, for if they
secure that they have all these,
and then county government, as
we have it now, will be as dead
as a sailed mackerel. If the
Democratic party, the bulwark of
conservatism, goes down, county
government goes down with it,
and both will be in the language
of the distinguished fusion states

Through the Boards of Educa-
ton they will control our public
schools, and no man or woman

will stand a ghost of al

schools, provided the combine

harmless deviltry, ''Peck's BAG
Boy" will appear at the Messen-
ger Opera House Saturday after
noon and night, together with his
pa, his ma, his chum, and last,
but by no means the least,-his
girl. During his stay here, he
will bother his pa, make love to
his girl, get his chum into
scrapes, make the policeman's
life a burden to him. and play
tricks upon the German grocery
man, until that gentleman be-
comes frantic. All lovers of
fun should see him, and all peo-
pie who have a fit of the blues
should see him too, with his able
assistants that boy can knock
any blues higher than the fig
urative kite. The bad boy is
under the charge of Fred P.
Wilson, this gentleman being his
soul guardian, SO appointed by

success.

After the capture of Snyder the police
again turned their attention to the uncer-

myriad of clews to the murderers of Mer-
chant policeman Watterson. 1t is exceed
irgly difficult to trace a man when they

not even the number of criminals for whom
they are looking, or whether they are look
ing for one or more. This is the situation
IN the Watterson case. The dearth Of in
information of any character which
might lead to the identification of
the murderer or murderers makes
it necessary for the police to trace
to its fountain head every semblance of a
clew that comes TO them. They are now
following one which may lead to the arrest
of one man for the murder. On last Sat
urday a man went to the residence of a
co!ored family on East Court street, be-
tween Alabama and New Jersey streets,
and had the woman residing there dress a
wound in his leg. The wound was made
by a pistol shot and was several days old.
The ball had not been removed from the
wound and the leg was badly swollen. The
man told the colored woman that he had

Opening of Its New Home Made a Gala
Occasion.

New Years day was a fitting one for the
opening of the Builders Exchange new
quarters. BY 10 o'clock over 200 contractors
and builders of the city had gathered at
the rooms on Ohio street in the old library
building. Justus C. Adams, the second presi-
dent of the organization, presided as master
of ceremonies. In a short speech he well
coined those present to the Inequalities of
the exchange and then introduced the presi-
dent, George w. Stanley, who read an his
torical address relating to the Builders
Association.
In April, 1856. the contractors met at the
courthouse and selected Conrad Bender
temporary chairman and William 2. jung
claus secretary. The secretary mi
Gated with the st. Louis and Cincinnati ex-
changes, receiving much information. A
visit to Cincinnati by a committee of seven,
in response to an urgent invitation, also
gave impetus to the formation of the In
dianapolis exchange. Articles OF incorpora-
ton were issued May u. 1885, with twenty
four charter members, and on May 10 John
a. Buchanan was elected president, John
Martin first vice president and 3. +. Heth-
erington second vice president and a con-
s%titution and bylaws were adopted. The
last meeting held at the courthouse was
on May 70, at which a board of directors
was elected. The next meeting was held
at No. 81 South Pennsylvania street. AT the
first meeting of the board of directors Will
lam +. Jungclaus was elected permanent
secretary and George O. Eldrig treasurer.
The exchange had only twenty-four MEM
bers at the start which has steadily in
creased until now almost every contractor,
builder and firm that deals in builders sup
plies is enrolled on its membership. Mayor
Denny. Secretary Smith OF the Board of
Trade, Il. @. Hawkins, T.. b. Martindale
and Controller Trusler. who were present,
were called upon and made remarks. The
