and absence from the city has prevented
my answering your letter sooner.
1t is almost impossible to express to
you in a letter the changed conditions
here from one year ago. For a year
or two previous to the election of 1898,
we were under the rule of the negroes.
SO completely, that the bravest of US
could see but little hope for the future.
Property had steadily deprecated, vice
was rampant, burglaries were of almost
nightly occurrence, complaints of which,
when made to the proper officials were
often received with derision. InCendiary
fires were frequent and appalling, to an
extent that many were terrified. Just
previous TO the election the conditions
were such that the feeling was general
that human life was unsafe. Our wives
and daughters were .insulted and our
very existence hung in the balance The
events that followed the election culmi-
mating in the changed conditions are
matters of history. With the changed
conditions and the advent of the white
mans government came renewed courage,
hope and determination-brigh cheerful
and radiant faces replaced the anxious
and careworn. Knowing we had firm.
honest and clean government, we went
to work with renewed hope to protect
the weak. and to curb the unruly. In Il
few weeks our city took on new life.
While it is admitted that the general bus
mess of the country had been better than
heretofore it has been phenomenally so
here, and due largely to the fact that
we have a stable and well-ordered gov
ernment. In no year Of our city's history
has the business of the past year been
exceeded. or as many improvements
planned and put through. Our citys IL
nances have been gotten into good shape
and we are no longer borrowers. Street
Improvements have been inaugurated on
scale never before attempted. and we
have the money to carry them out Sew
erage is under discussion and will be
carried through. Numbers of new and
handsome buildings have been erected
and others are going up, both in the
residential and business portions of the
city, to an extent which has never been
exceeded There is not an eligible piece
of store property vacant. notwithstand-
ing the many additions within the past
year. The city and county taxes have
been paid in excess Of any other year,
and with a promptness that indicates
prosperity. The lumber mills have sold
more material in the city, than ever
before in any one year. The deposits in
our four moneyed institutions have in
creased over 100000 in the year, Good
order is the rule and cur streets are
now scenes of business activity. The i'm
provement is almost without measure in
some respects. Where there was but lit
tie hope there is now full confidence. and
every business here is being pushed to
the utmost capacity, feeling assured as
do hat from this time on, the Anglo
Saxon race is going TO rule.
Yours very truly,

Mt. ANcoch Ftdu the ItSoiutioliN
adopted by the Chamber of Commerce
of Wilmington, at the regular meet
ing Thursday. October 9th, 1898,
which are as follows:
HOW IT WAS IN WILMINGTON.
Be it resolved by the Chamber of Com.
merce that the political situation in this
city and county is a menace to the peace
and order of the community in which
property has no protection, and life of the
citizen no security that the feeling OF
unrest and apprehension following upon
an incompetent public service, which.
while it exacts tribute in taxes, offers
no immunity from danger to the prop
erty or person of the citizen, is detrimen~
tai to every business interest, arrests en-
teTprise. hampers commerce, and repels
capital which might otherwise find invest
mcnt in our midst. That such commercial
stagnation and social disorder are the
logical outcome OF a condition which finds
the control of government in the hands
of corrupt and incompetent men, whose
authority fails to inspire fear in the
worst element Of our population as 1t
does TO command the respect of our best
citizens That this lawlesS and wholly
irresponsible element fortified by the
consciousness that the authorities are
either lmpotent or unwilling to i'm
pose restraint upon them and pro-
tect life and property, convert lib
erty into license, perpetrate outrage
on every hand. disturb the peace
of the community and offer indignities to
our white women which have eliminated
in instances of personal insult to them
on our streets and in attack on the vir-
tue OF the vOmanhood Of our Southland
by the negro editor of the infamous Daily
Record.
Resolved. That in view of these intoler-
able conditions, it is the sense. OF this
meeting that it is the duty of every good
citizen 10 exert his utmost influence and
personal effort to effect results which
will restore good government, protect
property and give that sense of security
to our lives and homes which obtain only
in civilized communities
Resolved That this Chamber is sensi-
BILE that it's province is commercial and
not political and the intention or desire
to enter the sphere of politics is dis
tinctly disclaimed. but the conditions
confronting us and calling for solution
are commercial and social, and not po-
litical, and as citizens and business men
with the one desire TO promote the pros
perity peace, and happiness OF the COM
munity we declare to the world that
these blessings are not possible under
government by the present political re-
gime, whose existence and power are pre-
dicated or the blind adherance Of the
negro element of our population. which,
taken as a whole With some worthless
exceptions are under the most absolute
bondage and domination of few design
ing men of the white race, who for sell
fish ends play upon their prejudices to ar
ray them against order and good govern
ment

An EXPLANATION

The telegram received by the
Saturday evening
which was not produced Sunday
morning was deemed worthless
from the fact our Scripps- McRae
dispatch covered the matter and
the further fact that the interview
with MIR. Gait who had returned
from the convention was in SUBJ
stance the same thing.
This and no other reason was
the cause of its non-appearance,
the friends of DIR. Wolverton to
the contrary Notwithstanding. The
ARDMoREiTE force. from the pro-
prietor down to the carrier boys,
are now and have always been for
Wolverton since the primary elec-
tion at this place.

"oolNe ONES BEST"

. Motto.


success Of Those who Take This FoR
Motto.
A homely rhyme found In an old
fashioned jingle book imparts a sound
philosophy:
Thoughtful little Mary Wood
Always did the beSt she could
I Let follow Aary's plans
Always do the best We can
At the first glance this looks very
easy, still, most of us know that there
are days when we do not by any means
attain to so high q standard. To do
ones very best implies that one has a
conscience that will not be satisfied
with half measures, that one has more
than the average amount of good
health and that ones ideal is q lofty
one. Most Of us start OF splendidly
when we begin anything new. The
real testing time comes when the
novelty is worn on and we are tired
and begin to carry the load vearily.
The old proverb. a. new broom
sweeps ciean," would never have been
spoken If the invariable custom Of the
world had always been 70 do the best
on all occasions. The great cathedrRls
Of Europe were built slowly through
the ages by men who did their best.
