sen ATOR WHITE REMEMBERS
Recalls Difference Between Early
Capital And That of Today.

"The greatest political evil that
has grown up in this county since |
first came to the senate, nearly 40
years ago, is the tendency toward
Capitalization of power in the fed
eral government" said Senator Will
liam Pinkney Whyte, successor of
the late Senator German, and the
grand old man of Maryland, at the
New Willard yesterday. The senator
is 81, but his eye is clear, his face
is ruddy land he looks Is years young
er.
There has been a wonderful growth
in the wealth of the country, and the
population has doubled" he went ON,
land along with them has come the
Capitalization. Life is not SO simple
as it was in the late Co.'S II is not
as it was when Silas Wright locked
the front door of his cabin in the
interior of New York state, put the key
in his pocket and came to take his
seat in the senate.
"The outward appearance of the
Capitol building is different. Every
thing is on a far grander scale and
more pretentious. When | fist came
here the splendid terraces that now
surround the building were missing,
and there was a picket fence sur
rounding the Capitol grounds. | was
on the committee on public buildings
and grounds, which was composed Of
William Pitt Fessenden, Of Maine;
Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, and
myself, and | remember how Mr.. Cam
eron one day objected to the removal
of the fence to which Jefferson had at
one time tethered his horse.
In the senate. on account OF the
reconstruction and the fact that sew
eral Of the present states were as yet
territories, there were but sixty mem
bers. The greatest debator of that day
was Mr.. Fessenden, and / have never
heard his equal. TIL gratest political
general was Oliver P. Morton, Of In
diana. Though his lower limbs were
paralyzed, he exercised a wonderful
power. Perhaps the p~ossessor of the
greatest intellect, though he is I'm
known today, was Senator Buckalew,
Of Pennsylvania. The most magnetic
man, one who made everybody love
him, was James G. Blaine washing

John ToIer Will be Tried Before jus
tice FurIong This Manufacturers
Made OF DisOrderIy Conduct.

1t would be difficult to find a place
where better order is maintained than
at Wrightsville Beach and although
thousands Of people visit the popular
North Carolina resort during the year
ii is the rarest thing that IN disorder
occurs but yesterday was an exception
to the rule. The offender may expect
to be prosecuted to the full extent
of the law for the Consolidated COM
pany will see that no disorderly con-
duct occurs on the beach. The person
causing the trouble yesterday was John
Toler. He is said to have been an
noying several ladies who were In bath
ing and when the Iit- sover went to
him in regard to the matter he Is
said TO have slapped the life over.
His conduct towards the ladies who
were in the surf Is said to have been
extremely Objectionable and 1t was
for this reason hal the life saver
went to him. In addition to being a
life saver, Mr.. Phillips is a sepcal po-
liceman and after the trouble with
Toler he got his badge and then ar
rested Toler and turned him over TO
Officer Holt. He was released under
bond and will be tried before Justice
Furiong this mornig. 1t was stated
last night that the suit would be pro-
eeuted vigorously.

WILL INSPECT NAVAL RESERVES
The Inspector General is Expected
Here Today-The Organization Is in
Excellent Condition.

Wilmington Division North Carolina
Naval Reserves will be inspected to-
night and from what can be learned
they will make a most c~reditable
showing. For the past three months
the Naval Reserves have been expect
ing TO receive notice at any time that
the inspector general would be here.
Inspecting officers who will be here
are Col. Balm, inspector general;
Thomas G. Daniels, commander North
Carolina naval battalion. and Lieut..
F. H. Ship, adjutant of the naval bat
talon.
Never before perhaps since the Or
%ganization has the Wilmington D:vi-
sion of Naval Reserves been in better
condition in every way. The company
has very nearly a full quota of men
and they take great interest in the or
g~anization. When the inspecting eff
GERS arrive they will find the Naval
Reserves occupying d much more pre-
sentable hall than last a They re-
Gently had a number of improvements
made but, unfortunately, will nOt have
long to occupy their new hall as the
old court house property, as was STAT
ed a few days since, has been sold and
it is practically certain that the build
ing will be torn down and at any rate
the Naval Reserves will not have Il
chance to occupy it much longer. A
neat sum was expended by the Naval
Reserves in having the hall fitted up.

q. c. v. IN NORTH CAROLINA
Colonel William l.. deRoeset Favors
Making Some Changes.
Wilmington, N. G..
June 9th. 1906.

June 9th. 1906.
Mr.. Editor
| was much pleased to read the CON-
munication in the Morning Star of
the Bird, inst, signed Tarheel. calling
attention of the Confederate Veterans
OF the state to the conditions of their
organization. For some years past I
have tried in a desultory way to bring
about some changes, but could not get
sufficient help from others to carry
out any proposed plan. My aim and
object in this matter is TO get a first
class soldier to command. One who
had volunteered early in the war and
had done his duty thereafter as best
he could. | do not wish any selection
to be made of any officer of high rank
in the army, in fact / would prefer
a well educated and intelligent private
to any general officer that could be
found.
There is no doubt of the fact the con-
ditions prevailing at the reunions for
the last few years have been any thing
but a credit to the state.
Haxing had the honor to serve for
five years as Major General Command
ing l know what it means in time and
money devoted to the conduct CT the
business Of the Office. and it became
too burdensome for me to undertake
it any longer, hence in 1899 I with
drew from any further official connec-
ton with the U. G. V. organization.
Now if the camps of the state will
take this matter into consideration
and go to the next conventional do
not suppose there will be any reunion
this summer-and stand up for their
rights and duties then they can &C
complish their object.
I would be perfectly satisfied with
either one of the four Brigadeer Gen.
erals, all being good soldiers and is
what I am after. They are all good
business men in any capacity
1t would be we'll if the delegates
to the convention would have a caucus
before the convention pom a plan to
restore the good name Of the state
through the organization.
1 will be pleased to give all the aid [
can in any way in accomplishing the
object and would be glad to hear from
Veterans from other camps.

In the mayors court yesterday the
case against NJ. E. Guy, who assaulted
Alderman Johnson ON Tuesday morn
ing and submitted to Chief Of Police
Williams, was heard and resulted i'll
Guy being fined $40 and the costs. No
witnesses were summoned, but Alder
man Johnson was present and Mayor
Waddell asked him if he did lot wish
cd i'll affirmative. After being sworn
Alderman Johnson stated the circum-
stances connected with the case. Mr.
Guy was not examined, but after Al
derman Johnson had concluded he ask
ed him one question. He desired TO
know if he did not ask of Alderman
Johnson when he went around or Dock
street what he meant by trying TO
damage his character. Alderman John
son said this was not the question
asked but why he %(Johnson) had made
charges against him and endeavored to
keep him off the force. Mr.. Guy main
tanned that he asked what the alder
man meant by trying to damage mis-
character.
After hearing the testimony of Al
derman Johnson Mayor Waddell named
the amount of the fine and in doing so
spoke in no uncertain terms of what
he thought of the affair. He said it
was a serious business to interfere
with an official in the discharge of his
duty and said that when Alderman
Johnson opposed Mr.. Guy he was per-
forming his duty and consequently Mr..
Guy was gravely at fault in acting as
he had.
At different times there has been
more or less complaint from different
persons in regard to allowing the side
walks to be used by hucksters or to be
blocked in any manner. Some time
ago it was decided to rigidly enforce
the ordinance ia regard to- this matter.
People who had been accustomed to
leaving their conveyances upon the
streets were required to keep them off
of the same and certain Il who
were using the sidewalks as a kind Of
platform for storing goods were told
they would have it to stop or be in
dicted. 1t was under this ordinance
Ehat T. L. Ruth was indicted for using
The sidewalk on Market street near
Second as a regular huckster stand.
The trial was postponed until today.
There were several other matters
before the mayor, but all were of but
small consequences.
