BICYCLIST INJURED.
ColOred Driver Locked Up as Result
of Collision.

ColOred Driver Locked Up as Result
of Collision.
There was quite an exciting incident at
the corner of 18th and F streets Satur-
day afternoon. A colored man by the
name of Geo. Lee, driving a horse attach
ed to a light buggy, ran into a bicyclist
named B. H. Robinson, throwing him to
the ground, but, fortunately, not injuring
him severely.
In the opinion of the people who saw the
occurrence, the blame rested with the
driver, and when he attempted to whip up
and make his escape without leaving his
name or address several young men in the
crowd rushed forward and grasped the
bride. Notwithstanding the protests of the
colored man, more forcibIe than elegant
they refused to let him go, and scouting
parties were sent out to find a policeman.
Notwithstanding the fact that the occur
renee took place on a crowded thorough
fare, at the busiest time Of the day. it was
quite ten minutes before a policeman reach
ed the scene. When he did finally arrive
he seemed to think that he had been i'm
posed on In some way and wanted to know
II the people expected a policeman to be on
the spot, standing around and waiting for
such accidents to occur. Instead of taking
the names and addresses of the eye-wit-
nesses, as one would expect a policeman to
do under the circumstances he told the
man that was run over that If he and
others in the crowd had any complaint to
make they might come down to the police
station. Fortunately for the interests of
the community, some of them did go. and
Lee was locked up at the first precinct DO
flee station.

The election of officers for the ensu-
ing year vas announced as in order.
President Chadbourn stated that many
of the members had said handsome
things to him about a desire to re-
elect him president, but he wanted TO
take this opportunity to suggest a COM
plete change in h officers except as
to the secretary and treasurer. He
therefore, said he vas not a candidate
for reelection.
Mr.. T. l.. Higgins thereupon NOM
mated Mr.. w. z. Worth for president,
and the nomination was seconded.
Mr.. w. A. French said he would sup
port Mr.. Worth with a great deal OF
pleasure, but he thought it would be
a good plan to keep in harness one who
had been tried and was always at his
post. He therefore nominated Mr..
Chadbourn for president. Messrs. r. W.
Hicks and r. NJ. Wescott seconded the
nomination and paid Mr.. Chadbourn
high compliments for his zeal and in
terest in behalf of the chamber.
Mr.. Chadbourn requested Mr.. French
to withdraw his resignation and urged
the election OF Mr.. Worth. The nomi-

amid applause, and thanked the cham
Der for the honor bestowed upon him.
He hoped this term Of the chamber
would be made a signal one in the up
building Of Wilmington. and pledged
his best efforts in that direction What

to pull together, and If We pull with
the other organizations we would have
a city that we would be proud OF, and
also have a good organization for eff
fective work. He urged everybody to
talk up our city and not say anything
derOgatory that would drive away an
enterprise or capital. He said we had
evera large enterprises to blow about
and the person who could not see that
Wilmington is progressive was blind.
We have the very best Of advantages
and he believed the future would be a
prosperous n for Wilmington. He said
the fact that our postoffice had taken
rank as a first class office (the receipts
the past year having been $40, 5000, was
a good barometer Of our prosperity. We
have a good class of citizens, and all
we ave got to do is to work in union
to build up our city. Mr.. jacob was
heartily applauded for his remarks.
For second vice president Mr.. w. A.
French nominated Mr.. r. w. Hicks,
blu he declined.
Mr.. F. L. Higgins nominated Mr..
Geo. R.. French, who was not present,
n he was unanimously elected.
For secretary and treasurer, express
ident Chadbourn nominated Colonel
Jno. L. Cantwell and he was unani-
mously elected. Colonel Cantwell
briefly thanked the chamber for re-
electing him to the position, which he
has filled for the past twenty years.
The executive counsel, consisting of
MI. George Harriss, Colonel F. w.
!, Kerchner, Mr.. D. l.. Gore and Captain
L. D. MeareS, was reelected.

Talk Wilmington

Wilmington, N. c., April 6, '99.
What will you do to help upbuild
u city, whose advantages are greater
than any other in the south? Do you
know of her claims and are you pre-
pared to tell those you meet what we
are doing, the advances we have made
and the great possibilities Of her future,
which are apparent to all who have
thought OF and investigated our claims.
This should be and al be made one of
the greatest cities of the south il each
citizen will do his duty, become ac-
quainted and better prepared to tell
the world Of what we are doing and by
never letting an opportunity to put in
a good word for our city pass. Will
you be one Il. join in the determination
to do something toward the advance
ment of the city that we all love?

ANOTHER LARGE COTTON MILL
TOlar. a and Holt Give Another Ri
Lift to Fayettevflle's New Life
Fayetteville Observer

tfayetLeVllle ODSerVer.)
This morning, Messrs. John r. To-
lar. J.. H. Hart and Walter l.. Holt
purchased what is known as "the Nc
Intyre property" consisting of 1913
acres, situated east of and adjoining
the Holt-Morgan cotton mill lands, on
which they will proceed at once to
erect a 500, 900 cotton mill running
10000 spindles and intended for the
manufacture Of soft yarn.
The building will be erected about
two or three hundred yards from the
HOlt-Morgan mill and will, of course,
be equipped with the very latest ma
chinery and appliances, as the other
Holt mills in this city are.
This is a big thing for Fayetteville,
as it seems to assure the future of Fay
etteville as a great manufacturing cen
ter. So far, therefore, this season, we
have the building of two great factor
les in hand, this new cotton mill and
Asheley & Bailey's silk mill.
Mr.. Tolar is one Of our Fayetteville
boys, who has grown rich O in the
great world. Mr.. Hart is from our
n%eighboring state of South Carolina,
and has had the same experience as
Mr.. Tolar.
