He is one of the most popular and
progressive business men in Whining
ton, and is engaged in the manufacture
of pearl hominy and corn meal. He
is general manager of the Boney and
Harper Milling Company. In the

lowing committees: Finance, Appro-
priations. oysters and oyster Interests
Fish and Fisheries, Manufacturing and
Labor, Public Buildings and Grounds,
Salaries and Fees and Claims. The
| Legislation in which he took the, deep
est interest was the corn meal bill,
regulating the size of packages to be
sold in the State, the bill to elect
county commissioners and justices of
the peace by a. vote of the people in
New Hanover county and to legalize
the primaries in that county. Much
of his time was taken UP over the
pilotage question, and large delega-
tons We're in Raleigh to see him about
| half the entire session. He took
strong ground in favor of a change
in the pilotage laws, favoring the bin
that was endorsed by the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce. After wag-
ing a long fight, and seeing success
just ahead, both parties compromised
by repeating all piTotage laws. Mr..
Boney did not believe that this was
the wise course, but he submitted to
/ it. when both the factions came to that
agreement. He took deep interest in

ment of the State and was easily one
of the most popular and useful rep
