sion OF the annual convention Of the
Wilmington City Sunday School I'M
ion.
The Rev. Or. w. L. S. Murray pas
tor Of the church, opened the session
with divine invocation after which
Professor II. s. Goldey was introduced
as the speaker OF the afternoon. For
nearly an hour the famous educator
held his hearers spellbound as he re-
counted the ravages wrought among
the youth Of the country by the ex-
cessive. use Of cigarettes. as well as
Indulgence in liquor.
The speaker pointed out the difficult
ties and securing a plentiful supply Of
securing employees free from these
vices. and suggested that Sunday
school teachers secure some OF the
business people to visit their classes
from time to time and sell the schol-
ars what dire results are wrought by
the deadly nicotine and alcohol. lie
also suggested that the instructors
! fortify themselves against possible ar
guments by keeping In touch with tho
various temperance publication socie-
ties tnd securing q plentiful supply OF
current temperance literature for cir
culation among their scholars.
Another scheme suggested by Pro-
fessor Goldey was that the teachers
urge their boys to examine the daily
papers through the week and clip out
every article found therein concerning
the drink habi. and its effects.
Following the address Of Professor
Goldey a short business session was
held. after which there was a con-
| ference led by Miss Maggie Wilson

CONRAD'S FIRST
YEAR AT END
Business Done at POStOffiCe
During Past Twelve Months
Largest in Its History
FORCE CRAMPED FOR ROOM

One year ago to-day Postmaster
Henry c. Conrad assumed charge of
the local postoffico, having succeeded
William II. Head. That he has made
a capable official during the period Is
tho opinion OF all those connected with
his department He has given the af-
fairs of his office his personal atten-
lion and though an attorney with an
extensive practice, he can be seen most
any time at his desk in the postoftice.
Need Of More Room.
The business done at the local post
office during the year was the largest
n the history of the office, and the
force now employed in that branch OF
the government service here is much
ersmped for room. More space is now
needed, and it is only a question of
n short time when an addition will
nave to be made to the present build
ing.
During the year six regular carriers
and two clerks were added to the force
nd one or two new sub-stations We're
opened. Tons Of mail matter were
handled, and on special occasions, such
as Christmas and St. Valentines Day
the available force could hardly cope
with the situation. Mails in conse-
1uence were delayed, but as quickly as
possible Postmaster Conrad and his
able assistant NJ. Howard Jester man
aged TO again bring about a normal
condition. Both are to be cOngratu-
lated on their excellent services.

1t was not because the youths were
not leading righteous lives that the
moral club came into existence; it was
a voluntary effort on the part of the
young men, who believe that their ex-

The court sessions promise to be
very interesting. Any member Of the
noralists may bring charges against
a fellow member If he has good testi-

organization OF the club is said to be
