chests, partially at least, one 1916
promise before New Hanover coun-

That's the much repeated pledge

PALMETTO BANKER
NAMED BY TRUMAN
Archibald Virgins Oh
Hartsville Selected As
Gardner's Successor

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-lR-
Archibald Lee Manning Virgins,
55-year-old South Carolina banker
businessman with plenty of expert
ence in dealing with Congress, was
selected by President Truman Mon
day to succeed o. Max Gardner as
undersecretary of the treasury.
Virgins is president of the Bank
Of Huntsville, S. c., and a former
president of the American Bankers
association. To bankers here his
appointment appeared a confirma-
ton of the conservative policies the
treasury has followed under Secre-
tary Snyder.
Gardner, former governor OF
North Carolina, still holds the
undersecretary post pending con-
flrmation of his nomination to be
ambassador to Great Britain. The
Senate will receive Virgins nomi-
nation after it has acted upon
Gardner's.
No opposition to either appoint
ment was manifest.
Virgins has number of friends

In dealing with its committees,

legislative committee of the Bank

have had much to say, was chief.
He was aided by w. p. Monroe as
assistant chief. These gentlemen
served long and faithfully and
brought much credit to the or
ganization.
The following November, a re-
organization of the department
limited the personnel to white
members.
FIRST CHIEF-Chief Schnibben
came to Wilmington at the age of
IA from Europe and entered into
the business with his uncle. He
remained associated there until
1891 and then for the next six
years, we believed, he operated his
own business.
In 1897 with the formation of the
fire department., Mr.. Schnibben
gave up his business to devote all
of his energies to the newly found
ed department.
He had been elected chief OF the
volunteer department in 1897 and
served in that capacity up to the
reconstruction of the organization
later the same year.

Tax Listers For Five

The listing Of property for tax

will begin Thursday morning in
all five townships, it was announc-
ed yesterday by c. F. Smith, county

tinue through the month of Jan
uary and called attention to the

as follows: Wilmington township:
W. N. Harriss, W. P. Toon, Jr.,
and Mrs. E. M. Dewey; Cape Fear
township: Mrs. George W. Will

ed by the city during the fiscal
year as well as-eaIling attention
to the highlights of the year 1915

Outstanding among accomplish
ments Of Wilmington was the ex.
tension of the city limits for the
first time in Is years, together with
the completion of an interim cen
sus which listed 47,483 people as
residents, the report stated.
Also figuring prominently in
the advancement of Wilmington
during the year was the addition
Of ST., 939 to the sinking fund
bringing the total to 1872, 656. This
money will be used to retire one
million dollars in term bonds which
will mature between 1948 and 1855.
During the year bonds in the
amount Of $141, 900 were retired
thereby decreasing the city's gross
bonded Indebtedness by that
amount.
The report points out that the
financial condition of the city re.
mains good in spite of increased
operating costs and that the mum.
cipal government stayed within
its established budget to show a
surplus of over 81 thousand dollars.
Crime and lawlessness continued
to decline, with the report attribut
ing a part of the credit for this fact
to the relatively quiet postwar
period. The value of property stol
en- during the period showed a de
cline of $50, 461 from that of the
previous year. This improvement
was noted in spite of the extension
Nof the city limits to include more
territory.
Other highlights recognized by
the report was the construction o.
a new refuse disposal incinerator
