' In his undertaking," Mr. Matthew has the co-operation and support ' of the Consolidated Company, and when een yesterday at his office, Room: No.- 413,: fourth floor of the Heyer Imilding, he: was enthusiastic over the prospect and spokeencouragingly of the measure of success 'attained thus far in the settle-! ment of the colony of saburbanltea i The land acquired for the suburban town' was originally the Bonham pro-. party, consisting of something: over 500 acres.- Mr. Matthew -who is city: engineer of Wilmington,' -j came", here about a year ago, and in exploring the county round about was struck with the splendid possibilities for a -subur ban town in the rjcinlty named. The property was soon acquired with that end in view and eupport -obtained for the development1 of the idea.

The Carolina Truckers' Journal, of this city in its issue to-day' reviews the outlook, saying "that the question of when car load i shipments of ber ries to the North will begin is still problematical but with anything like the present weather from now on it is safe to predict that the movement w.111 be on not later than from April 15th to 20th. Less than car load ship ments, by express are likely to begin to move certainly by the loth , if not by the 12th. Last! year one car each went out from the iChadbourn and W. & . W, R.

Although he said he had never seen the pistol, with which the - shooting was done, until it was shown him by Justice Fowler, the witnesses testified that he had it flourishing around their feet, making them dance, and firing it promiscu ously. One of them had to seek refuge behind the base-ball fence at Hilton, and out there he also attacked Su perintendent of Fire ' Alarm John T. Yates.
