I considered this proposition to be lair and wired the board accordingly. It was difficult to make my conservation with Col. McLean fully under stood by wire and the board did not understand it, and not understanding it, wired me to request the return of the charter from Col. McLean. I showed this telegram to the Colonel and told him that the uoard evidently misunderstood my telegram; that I would go home and take the matter up with them and that i felt sure they would ad;p; one or lli.; other of nis suggestions, lie told mo to do so;;, hut iie was vvih ug to do any trnng that was fair and th.it while de&inng to sa'.isfy the commissioners he d:n not. l'eei at lioertv to depart from t h instructions of the ums meeting.

Tney saw at once that they had misunder stood iii y telegram and im med iate iV accepted Col McLean' proposi tion that tne provisions referred to should not go into effect until approved at the May election. I immediately wired the Colonel that I had made satisfactory ar fangeme.it and-to hold the bill until I could reach Raleigh the next morning. I went to Raleigh, saw the Colonel, told him of the action of the board. He said that the bill had already been in troduced and he did not feel that he ought to make any-changes in it at that time. Be finally said, however, that he dad banded the bill to two or three gentlemen from Lumber ton, who were thtn in Raleigh, with the request that they change the bill so as to make it cunlorm to tne direction of the mass meeting and that if I would dee them and they would agree tuat the provisions referred to should not go into effect until ap approved at the day election, it would oe satisfactory to him and he would cause the bill to be amended in ttut respect. Other wise oe would not do so. I did not see these geutlemen and made no effort to do so, out came home at Ouce,and laid I ie matter lore the commissioners. Tney ttieu puoilslieu ttle card wotcn appeared in a late issue of your paper. The changes to which the com missionersr referred, and t which they intended to refer, vere the changes made in the bill which I sent to Col. McLean. This is the only bill that has ever been sent to him. The card states upon its face that they ob jected to changes being made by two or three persons after deliv ery to our senator. This is cer rect. It is also true that only material changes made in the bill after delivery to Col.

They linally formulated , their report and this report v. as 'laid before a second mass meet ling held pursuant to the adjourn ment of the first meeting. This meeting, while not so largely at tended as the first, was well attended. Ihe committee sub mitted their report and several phases of the report was dis cussed pro and con. As I recall it, r.h2 points in controversy be fore the second meeting were the town limits and the b mrd of audit and finauee, which the committee had recommeiidl. it isupmthis board ot audit and linanee that thj present t n i s ;i ; t rdersuindi.ig seems larlv t laei.e.Ki. as i recall it, nothing ' was said about a board of audit and finance at the tirst meeting. . out a majority of the com mi tree considered it,, advisable for Up town to have such a 0');.rd, ami I hence incorporated in their repor' the recommendation that such . board be established. They ma le several other recommendations japon matters which were no i referred ha tham. Ail these mat ters, however, wer taken up (fully at the second meeting, and the report of the committee waa read in full two or three times. In concluding their report tha committee recommended that the present charter of the 'town be revised to the end that the entire charter of the town be embraced in one act. The report of the committee was almost unanimously adopted. I do not think that more than two citiscens voted against its adop tion. I rememoer that Sheriff McLeod spoke against the board of audit and finance and I think the mayor did not exactly bd- ; prove of the town limits as re commended by the committe on I the eastern side of town.
