Again the Elizabeth city Cham ber of Commerce has proven its value to the community in no other way thali by giving us a second class post office and free delivery. The receipts of this office for the year ending March 31st 1902 were 5p8588.83. As an office is classed by its receipts we are now entitled to "second class" and free delivery. JT"he Chamber of Commerce of this city swelled the receipts for the pas.t .year by - utilizing thoueandaof the little "stickers" - in their, busi "ness and the extention of service Vand incidental to same. We . can ; in .no- way repay the noble mem-' tbers of the Chamber of : Commerce .for this, the climax of their efforts ; . toward increasing our importance as a city, but we can show pur ap preciation ini more flian words.

II is with pride that we call at-' tentionto an arUcle in another column that will make our adver - timers smile and grow "the green- eyed monster" in the hearts of our s trp ggli ng contemporaries.

We ! are only seven months in Ike field but to-day we take the lead and all others try to follow. With the ban ner of victory tiying in the winds we are marching onward - to the 5000 mark. At first we heard the tramp, -tramp of others close be hind but now we hear them not. Looking back over the past few weeks we see them falling by the wayside and only the echo of their death, struggle tells us they are there. "Infinite- wrath and infinite despair" ia pictured on the face of each and every one that has joined in this fight for largest circulation. We have eonauerecL PASQUOTANK THE MORAL COUNTY. It is with regret that we again face the public with another dis cussion orient the Wilcox Murder trial. The affair is practically en ded. The verdict was satisfactory and the matter should be'dropped. The public should no longer be reminded- of what is a matter of vulgar history but we think it ad visable that we,, in justice to the people of Pasquotank- and the honorable court that tried and convicted the prisoner throw light on some true fsicts that aire not known to those who have.. so 1 unwisely criticised the conduct of the .people andCthe jury. , .The unaniimous opinion of press and' public was that ' Wilcox.; was guilty. -The American press in glaring, bloody Headlines de nounced thfr prisoner and fanned the nickering flames; of -sentiment intov rolcanie fury. Trumpet tongued, - they cried against . the deepdamha-jion of: Nell Cropsey's taking .off. 'T hey: predicted a speedy verdict of guilty. - The expected verdict came ; and with it came a change'in the press. Where a dav before thev had de inounced the accused thev defen ded him and censured the jury.. They claimed -the trial to be ; an impartial . one and hooted the people-of Pasquotank for alleged flawlesness.
