PASSAGE v BY 3 LEGISLATURE.
They Ssy BIII Aathorizlsf the Issae Did
Not Pass the First Reading Proba
. ble Suit to HoIi Them to
the Bsrfsiir.
A sensation has been sprung upon
the Board of County Commissioners.
The recent sale on -July 22nd of the
$50,000 in New Hanover road bonds
to W. J. Hays & Son, of Cleveland'
Ohio, who took them- at par, ; bearing
four.per wnt interest, expected to
place the amount of .money available
within sixty days from date, but Vow
W. J. Hays c Son want to withdraw
from the contract upon the ground
that the act authorizing the bond ' is
sue was not passed constitutionally
that it did not receive the necessary first
reading, although they concede that
the second and third readings were all
right. The best legal authority is said
to be on the side of the County .Com
missioners, however, and it is learned
that the courts will be resorted to in
order to force the purchasers of the
bonds to their contract, although no
official announcement to this effect
can be secured. .
. The Board of Commissioners held a
private session in the grand jury room
at the Court House yesterday after
noon, at which were present Chairman
McEachern, Commissioners Holmes,
Vollers, Montgomery and County At
torney W. B. McKoy. Although noth-'
fng was given out for publication, it
is presumed that the bond matter was
gone carefully over and a method of
procedure laid out '
Of course the refusal of the bonds is
not the slightest reflection upon the
credit of the county under the circum
stances, but the problem will likely,
prove a troublesome one for the coun
ty's energetic Board of Commissioners.
When the bids for the bonds were
originally opened there were three
other bidden for the certificates and.
all were .eager for them at par, the
only difference in favor of Hays &
Co. being that they .did not want a
commission on the transaction.. The
bidders besides Hays & Son were
Kleyboldte & Ca, Feder Holtzeman
&Co., and Seasongood & Meyer, all
of Cincinnati.
The outcome of the litigation, if
there be any, - will "be ; awaited with
great interest. . . -. '

- The week just ended has been one of
unusual activity with the Wilmington.
Lodge of Elks, which Is leaving no
stone unturned in its very elaborate
preparations for' the ' fair and carnival
next months To use the parlance of
Ihe cross-roads weather philosopher.
"unless all signs fail," there'll be a hot
time hereabouts when all the antlered
get there horns locked during the gala
week. ; y ; "'p
The week has been an especially
busy one for the committees as organ
izations rather than the lodge of Elks
as a whole. The work in this way is
systematized and each committee has
its own peculiar province with duties
incident thereto. Nothing definite as
yet has been received from the rail
roads as to rates, but the transportation
committee thinks it has every assu
rance that its efforts in this direction
will De crowned with success.
The advertising committee will get
in its most efficient work; this week.
The advertising sheets are daily ex
pected and Dr. T. B. Carroll, chairman
of the advertising committee, has
engaged bill board space in the
followicg cities while still others are
yet to hear from: Raleigh, Charlotte,
Goldsboro Newborn, - Greensboro,
Wioston, Asheville, Wilson, Dur

cour&e the smaller towns will be billed

The subscription committee was out
for several days of the past week' and
met" ith fairly good success. About
one-tLiid of the territory has been
covered and next week it hopes to call
on every merchant in the city who
has not been seen.
The amusement committee has been
carefully looking after the matter of
parades, eta, and are satisfied that its
department will not be lacking when
the final round up comes.
A number . of the merchants are
placing orders for Elks' bunting, flags
and other decorations and the city will
be in gala attire. The people generally
are enthusiastic when it comes to
talking the fair and there is no reason
to believe that the affair will ."come
off" short of a complete success.
