Carr, of Duplin, was called to the Chair, and Mr, John T. Bland, of I'en 4er, appointed Secretary. The Secretary then read the charter of the Company, which was accepted, after which the meeting proceeded to elect a Board of Directors, as follow: B. G. Worth. William Calder. R. H. McKoy, John W. Miller, S. H. Trimble, W. T. Ban nerman and W. L. Young. The By-Laws were read and accepted after which the meeting discussed the ad- I vantages which would likely accrue to the I Bute from the proposed canal being con- structed along the eastern and northern I edges of Angola Bay, for about thirteen i .. miles, said lands being the property Ot the Stats, and the sense of the meeting was to the effect that the Legislature, at its ap proaching extra session, should be memo rialized for moneyed aid to the enterprise ia lieu of that afforded by the proposed convict labor, the. Company deeming such labor impracticable. Upon the adjournment of the meeting the newly elected directors met with Mr. W. T. Bannerman, of Pehder, in the chair, and proceeded to elect the necessary offl- I cen of the company for the ensuing year, M follows: B. G. Worth; President. W. L. Young, Vice President and Supers intendent. J. H. Bostwrigbt, Treasurer. David Farrier, of Duplin, Secretary, Col lector and Paymaster. The Superintendent was instructed by the Directors to make the necessary ar rangements for commencing work at once, so we may now consider the Duplin.
