Explanation.

The following card from Col. VIM.
L. DeRosset, is published at the re-
quest of a number of the members
of St. James Parish:
Wilmington, N. c., Dec. I, 1903.
To the Vestry of St. James Parish:
Gentlemen: In view of the fact that
there seems to be a difference of
opinion as to whether a plurality
or a 'majOrity" of votes at a Paro-
chial Election for Vestrymen is neces-
Sary to elect, [ have carefully cor
Sidered the matter n see no reaSon
for changing my opinion as first ex-
pressed on learning of the vote cast
for me at the late election, and have
the opinion of the Chancellor Of the
Diocese, sustained by a decision Of
the Civil Courts, that where no ex-
press provision is made in the law fol-
a plurality" it requires a majority
of the votes cast to elect.
1 must therefore respectfully de-
cline to accept the position of Vestry-
man of st. James Parish, not having
received a majority of the votes cast
l regret the necessity for this step
after more than ~thirty-three years
of service as a Vestryman, more thar
half of the time in an official capacity
I ave no idea that it was the in
tention of those managing the can
vaSs' to have me left out. nor do
take it at all is a personal matter;
and I am pleased to d that 1 car
say 1 bear no envy. hatred nor NAL
ice" against any individual member
of the Nestry or the Congregation.
I feel. of course, sad at the thought
that for the first time in about one
hundred years. covered by my Grand.
father, my Father n myself, tbs
DeRosset family ceases to be repre-
scented on the Vestry of old St James
Parish.
Respectfully yours,

There was much on the
streets yesterday in regard to the man.
ner IN which Captain Thomas D.
Meares had been treated by the Sea-
board Air Line officials. The action
k by the Seaboard Air Line Voc
generally condemned by the business
men. and it could be gathered from
me on the matter that the
business men regarded the officials as
having taken a very unwise step and
one h a would work to the detriment
of the railroad. Captain Meares has q
host Of friends in this city and tn,
officials will find that he was personally
responsible, for at least a portion of
the freight shipped from this point bv
the Seaboard Air Line.
Mr.. W. H. Brown on yesterday cir
cuiated a petition among the leading
business men of the city. asking that
a meeting of the chamber of commence
be called. so that the shippers and
merchants could give expression to
their Views in regarI to the removal
of Captain Meares.

lows:
