In addition a movement is afoot

forward as reasous why the game
should be abolished, at least as It
now Is played.
The injury of Christian and hi?

raatic in the extreme. Christian was

LIST OF DELEGATES NAMED _
Editor News:
Permit me again to urge that dele
gates to the meeting of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association which
convenes In Norfolk. Wednesday
morning, shall leave tomorrow, Tues
day nroming, and be prepared to go ?
from Elizabeth City to Norfolk by
steamer. The arrangement is for the
steamer to leave Elizabeth City to
morrow, Tuesday afternoon, about 3
o'clock after the arrival of the
through Norfolk and Southern train.
The President and executive" com
mittee of ilie Association have uig
ently requested that the delegates
from Eastern North GaroMna go In
this way. Nearly all the delegates
from the northern seaboard will ar
rive In Norfolk by steamer and will
traverse the several waterways In
that section. " The purpose of our go
ing In that way la to afford an object
lesson to the country.
To this end we had a conference In
this town with .representatives from
Beaufort. Morohead City. New Bern.
Washington. Greenville. Kdenton and
Elizabeth City and it was agreed that
the delegates from these fowns
should go by steamd!" as "SftoV^rTTiTI!
cated a,
I admit the trip will involve some
inconvenience but i believe that dele
gates who are going to the conven
tion with a serious purposS to aid in
this great work will not hesitate to
mak^the sacrifice. The cost of the
steamer trip will be slight, divided
among- the "delegates. Personally I
shall make the trip In this manner
anji shall abide by the agreement,
even If 1 go alone.
It is not a question of, convenience
but one of public duty. I am sure
that delegates will "abide by the plan
and go by steamer when .they under- -
