Q 1t certainly looks as if something beyond an ord-

to turn up pretty quick to prevent the "Fall" of 908
from being record breaker in practically all lines Of
business.
Q AT least, this is the condition as The Evening
Journal gets it from all sources.
Q The wide-awake business man realizes that in
order to get his share of the increased business he
must be on the ground with an organized hustling
sales force backed UP by the best quality of manu-
factured goods and iudcious advertising campaign
q We say to the merchants of Wilmington Get in
line and back up your sales department with an in
teigent advertising campaign" Send for The
Evening Journals advertising man and let him plan
campaign which we will guarantee to bring results.
q Do not confine yourself to spasmodic advertising
Make an appropriation for series of ads and let us
show you how to increase your sales.

ODOR ARISES
FROM SEWERS
Board Of Health Finds That
Faulty Drainage System
is Responsible
ORDER IMPROVEMENTS MADE

The nauseating and disagreeable odors
that have for the last few weeks and
even longer permeated the air In the VI
cinity OF Third Fourth and Shipley
streets, viii soon case II the plans OF
the Board Of Health are carried out
Complaints galore have been coming
into the department ever since the be-
ginning of the hot weather when the
odors apparently grow in volume and
become unbearable TO those who have
TO work IN the district near the streets
named The Board Of Health made an
investigation into the cause Of the odors
and found that It was all because Of
the faulty drainage system. Orders have
been placed with the Hilies and Jones
Company for the making of taps to be
placed in the pipes at Third and Ship
ley streets, and at oFurth and Poplar
streets. and when this work has been
finished, It Is expected that the odors
will he no more.
ODORS WAITER ABOUT CITY
Al these points the sewerage from the
Wilmington Provision Company and the
Harts Provision Company empues
There IS nothing in the pipes to keep
the drainage from settling and the odors
rise from the inlets 10 the street and
are waited on every breee round the
center part of the city. The inlet traps
when put in place will prevent the sew
erage from settling back in the pipes
and this will Of course keep the disagree
able odors from rising 10 thes urface.
BOARD OF HEALTH ACTS.
This matter was considered at the
Board OF Health meeting this morning.
When the traps are made the Street and
Sewer Department win have charge OF
having them installed Secretary Wig
ellsworth said that the companies in
question could not be blamed. but that
the matter was the fault OF the city in
not having properly constructed the
drainage system.
These odors were particularly noticea-
bic this morning and were of a charac-
ter that beggars description The wind
blew from the east and the obnoxious
smell filtered through about all OF the
down town offices. IL will take few
more days before the traps are finished
but Il is expected that the Street and
Sewer Department vii hurry matters so
that there will be the least amount OF
delay in installing the traps and cut Off
the odors that have been the cause OF
polluting the atmosphere.

WINTHROP, Mss, Aug. 1.-THE
deserted wife of Captain Peter Hams,
whose alleged confession. he says, led
him to kill Annis Saturday afternoon
at the Bay Side Yacht Club viii be
one OF those important witnesses when
her husbands case comes to trial. The
young wife is expected to return home
today after being repulsed in her ef-
forts TO get possession Of her three
children, for which she made a hasty
trip to New York as soon as she
learned of the tragedy The only
statement thus far obtained from Mrs.
Hams was the bitter interview she
gave the United Press Saturday night,
when she declared her belief that both
the Hams had made a fatal mistake
and she hoped they would swing for It..
Charles II. Libby her father is a
lawyer and he is busy to-day gather
ing evidence TO prove Hams associa-
tions, which are hSaly to pVove as i'm
portant at the trial as the confession
or Evelyn Nesbit in the Thaw case.
Captain Haines is remembered here
chiefly because he married a Winthrop
girl. He was a nervous, retiring little
man, who paid attention TO no woman
until he met Miss Libby, then 16 years
old The glamor of brass buttons, say
her friends, shortened the courtship
and the couple were quickly married
and went to live in the officers quar-
ters attached to Fort Banks. Mrs.
Hams is popular here and nobody in
Winthrop believes the story of her re-
lations with Annis.
