The people of New Hrnover county will vote Friday, May 31st, upon tb question of the issuance of $50,000 in bonds for permanent road impr6 ment. j The deBnite decision a dllte WM reached , at a called -eeting of the Board of County commissioners last niffht :at the Grrt House over which, Chairman McEachern presided and in attendance, upon which were Commis sioners Vollers, Holmes and Mont gomery. - 1 - ; The election will be held under a special act.4f the recent General As sembly entitled . "An act to issue bonds pr? road improvement in New HanoOT county. " An entirely new regvtration Is required for the elec tion and a majority of - the qualified voters of the county under such regis tration is required to carry the ques tion in the affirmative. The election will be held under the general election law passed by the Legislature of 1901 and in the same way as elections are held for members of the General Assembly. The Btab is informed that there is little change in this law from the one under which the ' election was held in August 1900.- The polling places will be the same as In November and as near the same location as possible in the last election. There will be three polling places in Firat ward, two in Fifth, two in Harnett township and one in each of the other wards and townships of the county. The definite arrangements as to the details of the election will be arranged at a subsequent meeting of the com missioners. A registrar will be ap pointed for each precinct and the reg istration books kept open for twenty days prior to the election. There wilt also be two inspectors at each precinct on the day of election to receive and count the ballots. These, wth the other officers and the places, will likely be designated at the regular monthly meeting of the commissioners next Monday. The ballots tendered and cast by the qualified voters shall have written or printed on them "For Good Roads" or "Against Good Roads," as the elector may chose to vote either-pro or coa upon the measure. The law protidiqg fqr a. submission of the question to tfce voters of the county stipulates the amount as $50, 000 with interest coupons attached and maturing 25 years hence, in speaking with Chairman McEachern last night about the measure he stated to a reporter that he was satisfied be could float the bonds at four per cent, or less and receive a premium upon them. He said further that if the question is carried the commissioners would be enable tq redqee the pres ent road tax levy from ten to five cents upon the $10Q property valua tion" and that this decreased lev would provide each year sufficient ATinA tn ht interest upon the bonds and contribute to a sinking fund that will liquidate ibe bonds at the end of twenty fire years. If the bond issue does not carry, Chairman McEachern says the" road levy will have to be increased above the pres ent ten cents le?y in order V carry out the work as outlined for the in coming fiscal year at least. The com missioners under the present law have power to make the road levy as high as twenty -five ceata on tie hundred.

Umpire Davis Has Resiraed. League Umpire J. R. Davis, of Wil mington, arrived in the city Sunday morning and expected to -leave for Portsmouth in the evening, to umpire the game there, yesterday. . At the last moment, however, after going to. the station, he decided in view of recent developments and .his inability to please everybody to resign his' posi tion. He accordingly wired President E.' H. Cunningham, of Norfolk, yes terday morning that he would- resign' the place and that an explanatory let ter would follow. Upon his return from Raleigh t ha papers in thateTty . vpoke f veryrcpmplimentary' of his work - and decisions there. He says Raleigh has a good aggregation . of batl players and will majce her sister teams "hump" for the pennant. - Umpire Davis assigns as the reason for retiring from the League his in ability to please contesting teams and the public at large, consistent with what he conceives to be his duty as an official of the organization, Last night he forwarded the ' supplemental letter to his telegram. Wilmington regrets that he did not see his way clear to continue through the season.' The Stab learns that it is quite likely that Mr. S. Upchurch, of Raleigh, will be appointed to succeed Mr. Davis. The Wilmington team left at 9:45 A M. Sunday for Newport News, where they play three games this week. Umpire Staley is officiating, while Mr. Clarke is at the Norfolk games. The Portsmouth team left on the same train with the Wilmington boys for home.' Champ Osteon, of Greenville, S. C, Manager Peschau's new man for the outer garden, arrived Sunday on the W. C. & A. train at 1:45 o'clock and left in the evening to join the team at Newport News. His forte is at the stick and one enthusiastic ad mirer of his, "who dosen t take any interest in base ball," went so far as to say he excelled Stafford at batting. While that is not possible on the face of it, it is believed that hes fully up to the recognised Stafford standard and, if so, he is all right. There is little base ball timber better than Capt. "Bob." The score at Norfolk yesterday was as follows: 133456789 r he Richmond-...0000 0 001 0 1 U 5 Norfolk, ...,,01 1000010-3 8 1 Batteries, Bishop and Manners; mington Giants took the first game of I Dannehower and Armstrong. the series, with Newport JJews-Hamp I jlne scorej at Portsmouth -yesterday ton to day, .the score being. 8. to 4 I was as follows: The Shipbuilders played Chinese ball at 12 3 456789 times, .with disastrous results, and o n n a h rVna n s ai-Zil-ii,. hom.

Trial at This Ses sjoa Judge Parnell and District -Attorney Have Not Yet Arrived. Other Notes. Let the Wilmington rooter rejoice and the proverbial small boy be glad. Capt Bob Stafford's Giants have taken by a good comfortable, score nine to foura game of base ball from Ashenback's Shipbuilders at New port News, before whom for the first time and twice in succession the Nor folk team has fallen. In other words, when Wilmington lines up against the team that seven successive days stood with perfect per cent, at the top of the column and bade defiance to any and every thing that it met on the dia mond, she will do so with conscious ness deep down in her boots that she has takes a game from the superior of the team about, to be confronted and the one that has beep a mortal terror to its every associate in the Two State League. Manager Peschsu might well have telegraphed home last night: "Veni, vidi, vioi,n but that was unnecessary for most everybody in town was at Fishblate's, where the bulletins from all three games were posted every few minutes, telling in no uncertan terms how our boys with the invincible "Tacks" Allen in the box, were laying it on the boys that heat Norfolk.. It was a plain story in figures, but they say figures never lie, and as each in ning was posted thQ"sports" cheered the returns to the echo.
