' " v In another column is published - the ; repori of - the citizens' committee.- . This committee was ap pointed by-the most representa tive citizens of this city, ' in mass meeting assembled, to solve the great mystery which nas recently surrounded this community. ' The committee has done its full ; duty and has proven faithful to every trust ' imposed, and. the impartial people of this, city will aecord the : deserved plaudits of, well done. In the report is stated that -there was a lack of harmony von the part of the chief of police and the mayor. This was re '' gretted, and' now th,at the storm v has blown over the TabHkfj, hopes that all parties will be reconciled. : COM. VARNER'S REPORT. v Hon H. B, Varner, Commissioner of Labor arid. Printing, in his an ; nual Teport gives some interesting i figures as to the newspapers pub lished in North Carolina. V The report shows that Jliere' are - 315 newspapers of air kinds pnb- lished in the State, and ' that the - total circulation per issue is 60$, , 785.. . t further shows that the 0 average circulation of the country weeklies in the State ten years i ago was 600, whereas the report - now will show 'the average, circu ; lation this year to be 1,365. . . - xie - savs tne improvement m 5 every i way made by the Country weekly publishers is fully equal to ; ; :;-that in the average circulation ' The advance in editoral, local and I general news service as well as in " ; the mechanical - department being .' very great. A communication to the Char; lotte Observer from N. C, has. this to say: Gastonia, "Several merchants here are ar ii ranging to go out of business some . selling out; some packing up t6 move and others trying to fm.d a ; purchaser." ; rThis js bad .news from "a town which everyone thought was pro's penng. The Tab Heel would advise those merchants who are moving away to 5ome to Elizabeth - City, where they will find the best town and the most hospital people in' North Carolina. ' 1 .The above is a f orceable re minderof the prosperity of the TfiprrngTiry qi thia city. r In other towns they cry ' hard times and a lack of trade. Such is never heard in this city. Our .' merchants are too busy to make such a ' hue and cry.' - They discount their bills and sell for less "than the merchants of the neighboring towns, ai id thus the trade of this city is rapidly increasing.

The custom housi and port o entry for the Albemarle district o Nerth Carolina sliould be moved rom Edenton to Eliz. City. This city is entitled' to it, and its citizens have a right to demand the change the reasons for this being many. More than three fourths of the business done in the office comes from Elizabeth City. The. records of the office; will show that of more than ona hundred and fifty steam and sail crafts entered, only thirty three hail from Edenton. Many fjoreign vessels come to Elizabeth City and comparatively none go to the town on the bay." Elizabeth City is a town of more than eight thousand people and padded state ments give Edenton less than four thousand. This city is the com mercial center of the Albemarle section of North Carolina, and certainly , the customs house should be in the metropolis of the district. Congress has appropriated $100, 000 for a building" to be used by the Federal Government, the site has been purchased, and work on the building is to be . commenced in the spring. In this building is the place for' the office in Question. It is expected that Mr. Small will take immediate action' in this matter. " His constituency, save only that small portion presiding m Edenton, demand this bf him. It might be embarrassing to Mr. Small to have, a representative from another district to' introduce a bill concerning matters in his own district ; See to it Mr. Small, that a bill passes Congress, making this change arid you will have won the approval of a large, majority of your constituents. LET'S PULL TOGETHER. vNow for - a new railroad for Elizabeth City. It begins to look as if such is not only possible, bU highly probable, if the citizens of this city will take an active interest in the matter. jHon. T. G, Skinner, of Hertford, was in the city this week and gave information to the effect that the Suffolk and Carolina Eailroad would" be extended to this city with a standard guage track if the people of this city would give the road a right-of-way and a water front '. -:- ; J. his is the most feasible plan yet advanced for a new road. The Suffolk and Carolina road is with in! eighteen miles . of Elizabeth City and a right-of-way for eight miles of that distance has already Deen donated, and certainly it should not be difficult to acquire a right-of-way for the' remaining ten lodes. As for the water front, the f t,: l ii cujjio .ui uus city supum come together as a unit, and donate a suitable site. The Suffolk and Carolina road is being extended to Edenton and is within a few miles of that town. Now that it is at Edenton it must come to Elizabeth City, if this city wopld continue to hold the fish trade of the lower v sounds. - Thousands of boxes "of fish are ' shipped from this city each year, and the quantity is such that the Northern markets are jgluttecl. We can;t ship 'any where except to tile markets since we have no ' western connection- a road to Suffolk" would give us connections with' both the West and South by four largs railroads- this city icould be made :the skip ping point instep of Norfolk, Bal- timore and other; ithousand and one reasons could be produce d to show the. absolute I iiecessityrof sucn a connecuon as is proposed.- This city m order to conunue n grow in auu piuapcxiuj must have a .

"No man In the community does more for the i-public and receives less for it than the country editor," sale Senator H. Clay Heather of Palmyra Marion county, in the Missouri state senate when the bill reducing the pric of publishing the Australian ballot was under consideration. "If all the spact he employs In booming the town, ir helping individuals, in making states men sometimes out of pretty raw ma terial were paid for even at half the legal rate, he would be the richest mar. in the countyj . .- . "Few country editors are, rich, bul they are of more service to the com munities where they live 3 than th( wealthiest man. They are in tiie fore front of every movement for progress They do the work and leave the emolu ments to others. A good, clean, honesi newspaper and most country newspa pers are good and dean and honest- helps on every worthy cause and de-' serves every encouragement. It fights the party battles, holds up the hands of the reformer and makes the scoun drel afraid. Iam opposed to this bill No paper in my county would pj-int th ballot at the pitiful price named. Thej are not paupers. But for the amounl of splendid public service they rendei they ought to be millionaires." Statt Tribune, Jefferson City, Mo. A Word For Sisaa. To an advertiser advertising shouh: be a means of indicating to all the peo ple, .at all times, in all places, iD everj locality, the presence of his goods.: Ev ery unit of advertising matter should act as a seller. At every store wherf his goods are sold he should install a salesman ofhis own choosing, confined to the sale of his- goods exclusively What better than the store front sign" Something pleasing to the eye, intelli gible to the thinking, an eye opener tc the unthinking What can fill all thest requirements of the advertiser and tlit buyer of his goods as an; individual sign placed inside of a store whei-e the eye readily turns id it or on the outside where it reminds you to step in as yor. pass? With individual sign advertising he becomes an advertiser of individual ity of his own.i-FrofitabIe Advertisin A Healthy Jeraey Town. HacKensack is one of the most enter prising of the; Jersey towns. It has now nearly, 12.000inhabitants, with well managed water service, gas, and electric light systems and its own health board, land so successful has been its" work! that the town is now the healthiest in the state. The cost zot its local government, by reason ot its peculiar charter, brings the tax rate lower than any section of the Greatei New York. The town is governed b.v a commission, the members of which serve without pay. A Gentle Hint.
