The construc- Jor tion of three new buildings on the Pei asylum property and the completion of Ra: the Taylor building is the work of lun the board of regents, money for the work being appropriated by the gen- * eral assembly in the regular appro- * priation bill for improvements at the * hospital.* The asylum commission is charg- * ed with the specific duty of purchas ing lands and erecting buildings there* on.

The resolution makes it mandator tipon the commission to purchas suitable lands and devise plans an erect buildings. This is for the de ,elopment of the asylum.

One believes that li-a is a legitimate article of com 3 and the other does not so be- m to )ut it up like this," said the anti- an 1sary man. "The great majori- reu local optionists in this section an sople who believe in the free and ed. sale of liquor.

The rapidly approaching season will unquestionably be the best in the his tory of Wrightsville and Carolina Beaches, the delightful summer resorts in close proximity to Wilmington. Practically every organization of im portance will meet at Wilmington and Wrightsville between June 1st, and September 1st, among which are the United Commercial Travelers of the Carolinas, the North Caro- | lina Press Association, North Car-;M olina Good Roads Association; I State Medical Society, State Den tal Society, the Bar Association, the Bankers' Association, State Coun- 01 cil, Jr. 0.

Nearly, if not quite all, the associa tions will take a side trip down the Cape Fear river with probably a stop at Carolina Beach, as no trip to Wil Ir ngton is complete without a trip f on the steamer Wilmington. , One of the most important of the fol many improvement at Wrightsville Beach is the enlargement of Tarry- ho moore Hotel, Mr. W.

Moore, manager, the excellent hotel hav- tei ing added another wing to the north of the old part, in which anI are 60 well appointed rooms and equipped with all the convenences f a modern hostelry. The addi dion extends out toward the ocean and is so arranged that every room commands a view of the ocean. The e* extension is built on concrete piers, ~I and is connected with the old part >f the hotel by spacious verandas. Of equal, if not greater importance Al s the extensive improvements at the seashore Hotel, Mr. Edgar L. Hinton, J nanager. A steel pier has .been con ~tructed from the rear entrance of IL. he hotel to extend 700 feet out into he ocean. The Pier is 30 feet wide he greater part of its length and >ut at the end is 50 feet wide. At he end of the pier will be erected brin two-story building to be used for-t oncerts, dancess and other forms of musement. The roof of the build- coug rg will be used as observation ye- Wini anda, from which a fine view of the nl each can be had. The pier is really a nl mntinuation of the hotel veranda.
