ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS SOON
MOVEMENT FOR APPROPRIATION FOR
DREDGING ANCHORAGE BASIN
Colonel James f. Boyd Writes Mr..
James Sprunt Pledging His Hearty
Support Vigorous Efforts to Be
Made as Soon as River and Harbor
Committee Gets Down to Routine
Work.

1t is gratifying to note that the
movement for a special appropriation
by the present congress to dredge a
big basin in the Wilmington harbor
for the anchorage Of men.of-war and
merchant vessels of the greatest draft
is rapidly gaining favor among influ-
entail officials at Washington. 1t is
certain that very soon after congress
gets regularly to work there will be
very important developments.
In answer to a letter from Mr.. James
Sprunt to Colonel James E. Boyd, as
sistant attorney general, asking for
his interest and influence in favor of
the movement for the special appro-
priation recently inaugurated by the
Chamber OF Commerce, Colonel Boyd
said in a letter received by Mr.. Sprunt
yesterday that it will afford him great
pleasure to serve the people of this
city and section and the best interests
of Wilmington in every way
possible.
AS the entire North Carolina delega-
ton at Washington is united for the
appropriation, and as Hon.. John D.
Bellamy, representative for this con-
gressional district, has expressed his
intention to do all in his owe to Sc
cure the special appropriation for the
anchorage basin ard various other i'm
portant public works on the. Cape Fear
it is believed that very important de-
Velopments will occur soon which will
inure to the material benefit of the port
of Wilmington.
The section of Cape Fear in which
it is proposed that the anchorage ba-
sin be dredged is at a point below Kid
der's mill, extending probably a half
mile down the river nearly to the ia
nous Dram Tree" This point in the
river is very wide and is, in the opin-
ion Of experts, the most advantageous
location for dredging a basin of the
great dimensions necessary for the
perfectly commodiOus anchorage of
the already large and constantly in
creasing number of deep draft trans
Atlantic and coastwise steamships
which visit this port regularly.

Of The Messenger of the 18th instant
Mr.. Sprunt's beautiful and graceful
tribute to the memory of that prince
of gentlemen, Norwood Giles, who pass

1t was indeed an eulogy worthy of the
writer and the subject; for no one who
had ever been within the influence Of
Mr.. Giles, could but feel how true and
just was al which Mr.. Sprunt so APP
prOpriately said. Having known and
had business relations with Mr.. Giles
for years., his death to me personally,
was the loss of a very dear friend.
His ~urbanity, geniality and humor
