CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETS Enthusiastic Meeting Held Thursday Night Hotel Committee Reported That a Hotel in the Near Future is a Certainty Committees Will Be Appointed on Public Park, Agricul tural Fair, Securing More Payrolls and Membership County Physician Page Will Talk on Health Problems at Next Meeting. If any" one- has an idea that the Lumberton Chamber-of Commerce Is going to let any grass grow under its feet that one should have been present at the meeting held in the commis sioners' room at the court house Thursday night. The meeting was fwell attended, those present being busy men, who have no'time to throw away on trifles and who map out their das to make every minute count; and it was the most enthusias tic meeting yet held. At this meet ing enough practical work was map ped out to keep the Chamber of Com merce busy for months to come. The most interesting report was made by the hotel committee, compos ed of Messrs. K. M. Biggs, K. M. Barnes and R. C. Lawrence. Mr. Law rence reported for the committee. He started out with the statement that the committee could give the positive assurance that a hotel is in sight for Lumberton, and that statement was greeted with enthusiastic applause. The committee has been hard at work and will no doubt have something absolutely definite to report within a few days it may make a definite re port in the same issue of the paper in which this . will be printed,, but until the 'eommmee "says tttkvrota nothing certain will be given out as to the plans, etc. Suffice it to say for the preent that the hotel committee is a work and when it makes a statement it will be to the effect that all the money necessary to build a first class hotel has been pledged. Supt. R. E. Sentelle was given op portunity to present to the Chambei of Commerce some matters pertaining to the graded school which he had ask ed jermission at the last meeting to present at this meeting. His state ment ard the action of the organiza tion are covered in a separate news item in this issue. . On motion of Mr. R. D. Caldwell all ministers of the town and vicinity were made honorary members of tVe Chamber of Commerce and will not be required to pay dues. All minsters are requested to meet with the organ ization and lend their aid in the work it is trying to do. Rev. C. H. Dur ham, pastor of the First Baptist church, who was the only minister present, thanked the organization on behalf of the ministers. Mr. Caldwell also suggested that steps be taken to secure a public park for the town, also to have an ag ricultural fair. Both suggestions met with hearty approval. Ex-Sheriff Geo. B. McLeod called attentio nto the fact that one of the prettiest streams in the State, Lum ber river, flows hard by the town, and how easy and inexpensive it would be to make it more attractive by cleaning its banks of houses, preserving the trees and terracing it banks. Water street, he said, should be converted into a boulevard and extended to the Jennings Cotton Mill village, on the northern edge of town. Muyor A. E. White expressed hearty agreement with Messrs. Caldwell and McLeod in their suggestions but in sisted that the immediate presisng need, the thing that should demand attention right now, taking precedence of all ike for the present, wai ef fort to :.e-ure more pay rolls A small knitti.ig mill, h g rested couid be started without much outlay of rap. tal, and" other small industries should be secured. . There is unlimited pow er right at our doors and it should be used. A young" man who came here from Scotland recently had to go to another town because there was no work for him to-do here. Such a con dition should not prevail, Mr. White declared. Mr. M. W. Floyd suggested that a committee on membership should be appointed to secure members for the organization. President Russell was instructed to appoint committees to take up all these suggestions and see what can be done at once. They will appoint within the next few days a separate committee to look after each one of these suggestions. President Russell announced that Dr. B. W. Page, county physician had agreed to deliver a lecture at the next regular meeting, n the second Thurs day in April, on diseases servants are most liable to carry into homes and how they may be recognized and guarded against. Ladie3 will be invit ed to attend this meeting. J2very citizen who attended the meeting Thursday night felt great ly encouraged at the spirit manifested, a spirit that indicates that united work will be done to bring things to pass. Every citizen should become a member and lend a hand. Collector Keith Decides to Retire Gracefully. Washington Special, 14th, to Wilming ton Star. m. .

McLean, who is fond of ancient documents, recently came into possession of one that is entitled to be called ancient. It is an indenture of lease of farm lands, in Scotland and bears the date July 1667. It is written on sheepskin and the edges are cut in irregular shape, or "indent ed," as in the beginning all deeds re lating to land were made, so that they might "be identified by fitting togeth er the torn edges. Hence all deeds or writings were called "indentures. Mr. McLean also has a blacksmith's vice brought over from Scotland by his grandfather in 1765, this vice being now apparently as good as ever. Snow Has Not All Disappeared Yet. Some of the snow which fell nearly three weeks ago Wednesday night and Thursday, February 25 and 26 lingers here still. Some was picked up in a back lot this morning. It has gotten mixed with so much dirt that it doesn't know how to melt. -Reminds one of the man who, one hot July day, when a neighbor told him how snow drifted into the attic of his house during the previous winter and he had to shovel it out, said that be never thought of that, that he'd bet snow had been accumulating in his attic for years and that he was going right home and see about it. 65 Years Young; 33-Mile Jaunt.

The horse ran to the Seaboard station and went right into the posts which ware placed there to keep stock ba.,-s, and threw Miss Leola Burney, who was in the buggy, out, bruising her up considerably. Miss Burney. Jtried to jump out on the Eavement, and Mr. Williamson had to old her in the buggy, but he couldn't hold both the girl and the horse. His holding the girl in the buggy no doubt saved her serious injury. It was an exciting runaway.

IM DISSOLV E U. S. EXPRESS CO. Success of Parcel Post and Recent Ex-; press mic nrauciwni inc auBtr. ; New York Dispatch, 13th. j Directors of the United States Ex- , press Company voted unanimously to day to liquidate its affairs and dis oive in the shortest possible time. The precise plan for realizing on the company's assets was not disclosed, but it is thought a syndicate will be formed to yn ovw, so that they may be disposed of to the best advantage. Persons familiar with the com pany's affairs declare that the return to the shareholders will be between $90 and $100 a share. The success of the parcel post and the recent express rate reduction by the Inter-State Commerce Commis- sion, are held directly responsible for the company's retirement from busi ness after 60 years of continuous ope ration. " : Earnings for the five months for the fiscal year so far reported showed steady declines with a, deficit of $32, 000 for November until some of the j uiuic iniiuciiLiai iiiitresis uecame out spoken for liquidation: The late Thomas C. Piatt and his family for years were the dominant interests in United States Express. Their control was so complete that th.v ...j ; JLJTsT erous demands and protests on the J n iratuill VFU 1IUIII- j part of minority interests and for years the public knew virtually noth ing of the affairs of the company, no meeting of the stockholders having been held in more than 50 years. There are outstanding 100,000 shares of United States Express stock and these are in comparatively few hands. The Harriman estate is believed to hold over one-fifth, which ! the late E. H. Harriman acquired at ' an outlay of about $2,250,000. The Piatt interests are said to be relative- ly small. The express company at one time had contracts coverine 38.000 miles. In part these contracts have expired, but the remaining ones are said to be of potential value, end it is assumed they will be transferred to one of the company's former competitors, probably Wells, Fargo & Co., in which the Harriman interests have large holdings.
