A MUMBER OF ITEMS OF INTEREST CjlSCUS- SED. Due of the largest and most enthu v,a;u meetings that the Chamber of' Commerce has held in a long time,' was held last Friday night in thej (nut house. There was a large at euUincv of members and business' vruMi an.i xney took tne lmiiest in terest m the proceedings dt the nioetin?. A Jeuer was read from Borst and; toiupany, a Baltimore Gas Concern! which petition the bodv to use its' uiluenco with the board of Alder- men to secure a franchise for a gaSi L'lan: here. The company stated that' ir would put up a bond as evidence j oi good faith, the bond to be for-! teited. should the company fail to comply with the agreements ex- j pressed in the franchise. The matter was thoroughly discussed and taken under advisement. The city has already granted two franchises for a gas plant and each movement tell through. Tn the first instance, the company failed to com ply with the requirements of the franchise l.-st managed to get out of paying the franchise forfeit. The -econd franchise expired on the' first i f Febrnan . Simpson an ; Bailey of Berkley ap peared before the 'Chamber with a proposition to organize a stock com pany to establish a knitting mill here. The matter was discussed, and a committee composed of Messrs, p. H. Williams, j. T . McCabe and G. F. .Seyfert was appointed to investi gate the nronosition and rercnrt th practicability of such an organiza tion. A street paving committee com posed of Dr. O. McMullan, J. W. Martin and E. F. Aydlett was ap pointed by the Chamber. A. resolution was offered to the Chamber and was adopted to give "iucouragement and support to a liaily newspaper, in this town. A movement is now on foot to organize a company and establish one. The Chamber pledged its support to the tuo cement. The movement to estab lisli a daily paper was begun early this spring, and a solicitor took the field to solicit stock subscriptions, 'mt the movement at that time met with little financial encouragement and the efforts were abandoned. It is the concensus of opinion among business men that the town needs a rlaih- paper badly, and it is to be loped that the business men will finance the project to a successful erruination . A resolution was also offered to fhe Chamber to encourage and sup port v movement to hold another Ag ricultural Fair here this fall. IS KNOCKED SENSELESS Greensboro, N. C, March 30 An iron cigar mould, falling from a fifth story window sill of Seidenbery Com pany's cigar factory here this after noon, struck D. E. Barbour, a drum mer, of Newbern, who was passing 'n the pavement and knocked him senseless. Barbour was taken un -conscious to a nearby drug store, oon becoming conscious. Concussion of the brain was feared, but after be ing taken to a hospital, physicians say there is no fracture and Barbour roay be expected to recover. V . ....... ? jgk v ,v - -, ..... . :cSii'. ' i. v ' . J0 of Commerce , MEETING WHAT SOLICITOR WARD SAYS Mr, Editor:-- I am very much pained to have dependent of the 18th inst. in which I am represented as having made statements about Mr. E. F. Aydlett in connection with the case tried in Camden, of Hughes vs Pritchard, and the litigation between him and Andrew Brown. There is nota word in it that is mine. I never called Mr. Aydlett's name to the Independent nor a representative of it, that I know of, I have not interpleaded in the contentions between that paper or any other person and him, and shall not. I do not sympathize with the publications about him and have expressed myself, wi th rare and guarded exceptions, concerning the fight between them with all necessary force and clearness in public and in a professional capacity, and I stand by these statements without fear or apology to either. The repartee used by me in a poetic quotation quoted, and if it had been, is not was only a pleasantry, said in good humor, had no intended sting in it and I don't think gave any, and in my opinion is licensed by the custom of forensic contests especially against as bold and aggressive combatent as Mr. Aydlett is. I am in all respects genu inely friendly to Mr. Aydlett, and think he is to me, and am not sitting in judgement on his character. I am concerned with my own instead. I see a great deal in him that is attractive to me, and nothing in him that I fear and think if everybody in Eliza beth City would say only the latter, he would get much less ad vertisement. Respectfully, H. S. WARD. SHAD RECORDS IS Largest Fish Hauls Ever Known on Buckroe Beach. A Between 10.000 and 15,000 shad were captured in the nets along Buck roe Beach yesterday morning, which according to fishermen in this vicin ity, is the largest catch of the fish ever recorded there. The season so far has been the biggest in the his tory of the oldest fishermen and yesterday's haul was a record smash er in every way. The fact that the catch was so i heavy had a depressing effect on the market, so that yesterday large bucks were selling from 25 to 35 cents and the biggest roes sold as low as 50 cents. It has bc&n several years since shad sold at so small a cost. Fishermen, however, . are reap ing a harvest as the catch is large and the prices still keep at a fair rate in the Northern markets.

White VOICES SENTIMENT OF THE PUBLIC The attention of our readers is called to the letter of Solicitor Ward which appears in this issue of the Tar Heel. Our readers ought to read this letter with care, and at the same time, consider the high source from which it comes. This should give it great weight. Mr. Ward voices the entiment of the entire public, except those pre judiced by personal feelings, in re gard to the eternal and ceaseless "hounding:' of Mr. E. F. Aydlett by the Independent. Those who read that paper, have read so much in re gard to Mr. Aydlett and since no rea son, other than personal motives ap pears to justify these publications, they. are exceedingly skeptical of it all and are thoroughly tired of so much tirade and abuse against a prominent citizen who has done much to build up this town an$ com munity . We have no desire to get into an abusive controversy with the , Inde pendent, in regard to this or anyxthw matter, but we can not forego thet remarks at an opportune moment.
