THE FISH
COMMISSIONER.
The State Fish Commission
created by our last legislature iB
composed of T. F. Winslow, of
Hertford; A. B. Oobb, of Bertie;
Wm. Webb, of Morehead City ;
E. C. Smith of Raleigh ; and E.
H. Freeman, of New Hanover
county. This commission met
in Newbern April 15 and appoint
ed H. L. Gibbs of Oriental, N. O.
as Fish Commissioner. From
some newspaper reports, this-appointment
came as a surprise to
those who had studied the situa
tion. Mr. LeRoy of Elizabeth
City, seems to have been the logi
cal man for this position' and why
Governor Craig should have been
so insistent upon the appointment
of Gibbs, who it is claimed, is to
tally unfit for this position is not
clear. Gibbs was opposed to the
Fish Commission bill which fact
alone was sufficient to disqualify
him. It is claimed by one paper
that it was a game of politics
worked by Craig and Simmons.
However that may be we would
hate to believe our governor
would, be influenced by, so ; trival
a consideration to recommend an
appointment which would be det
rimental to a measure which so
vitally affects one of the greatest
industries of our State. Let us
trust that the governor had a
broacjer reason for his recommen
dation than has yet appeared
SINGING CLASS
CONCERT
That was a delightful concert
given at the opera house Tuesday
evening by the singing class of
the Oxford jOrphanage. It was
heard by a large attendance and
we believe .thoroughly enjoyed by
all. It was thought by some to
be decidedly the c best ever yet
given in Edenton.

GREAT QOUHGIL OF
RED HEfJ J
EDIOTOrj.
"The first part of the Red Men's
program took place after the or
phan concert Tuesday. , evening.
This consisted of an address M
welcome on behalf of the town of
Edenton by Mayor -B. F. Tuttle,
in . which he by far excelled him
self, his words being welrelected
and delivered. The next speech
was a most cordial welcome on
behalf of Chowan Tribe No. 12,
by Major W. S. Privott, followed
bya speech of welcome on behalf
of the Board of Trade by Mr. E
G. Bond." Instead of a response
o each address by different mem
bers of the Great Council, as was
the program, the response to all
the speeches was delivered by one
speaker, Great Senior Sagamore
D. E. Henderson of Newbern.
Following this address the speak
er of the evening, Past Great In
cohonee John W, Cherry of Nor
folk Va., introduced by Post
master W. J. Leary, spoke on
the 'Principles of the Order."
Mr. Cherry was at a disadvantage
in that' the program had already
been long enough before his time
came and his speech had to be
very much curtailed. One thought
brought out in his speech to
which we wish to direct attention
was that of pensioning mothers
instead of taking their children
from them to an asylum. In some
states this is done by law and
the idea appeals to us as being
one worthy of deep consideration.
Wednesday morning a business
session was held ana at eight
o'clock Wednesday evening the
parade and burning of the pale
face took place. The parade was
perhaps the greatest, public event
of the Council, it being witnessed
by most bf the people of Eden
ton. The parade started from
Water and Main streets, up Main
to King, down King to Oakum,
thence to Queen, down Queen
back to Main and back to the
front of the post office where the
paleface was burned. Three dec
orated floats were used by the
Daughters of Pocahontas. All the
members of both lodges carried
torches and marched to the mu
sic ot the band, all wearinglndian
costumes of course. Into the
"log cabin" in the middle of
Main street in front of the post
office was chased the paleface,
(Bruce Jones). Immediately fire
was set to it and as the flames
consumed the hut the members
of the order had their war dance.
Many of the visitors left early
Thursday morning but the major
ity of the delegates and many
visitors remained . over for the
banquet held Thursday night at
the armory.
Mayor Tuttle was elected Great
Junior Sagamore succeeding!
Heenan Hughes of Burlington,
and several of the chief officers
were promoted. The following
towns of North Carolina were

Strength and Twenty-four
Pounds by Taking Vinol,
Corinth, Miss.: r- "I am city tax
collector and seventy-four years of age.
I was in a weak, run-down condition so
that I became exhausted by every little
exertion. My druggist told me about
Vinol, fend I decided to take it. In a
week I noticed considerable improve
ment; I continued its use and now I
have gained twenty pounds in weight,
and feel much stronger. I consider
Vinol a fine tonic to create strength for
oldTpeople"--J A. Pracg, Corinth,
Mise. - .":-""".."
As one grows old their organs act
more slowly and less effectually than in
youth, circulation is poor, the blood
gets thin, the appetite poor and diges
tion weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic, is the ideal strengthener
and body builder for old folks because
it creates a good healthy appetite,
strengthens digestion, enriches . the
blood, improves circulation and in this
natural manner builds up, strengthens
and invigorates feeble, run-down, nerv
ous and aged people, and if it does not do
all we say, we will - pay back your
money.

I also had frequent dizzy spells
aud the kidney secretions passed
irregutaily. Sometimes they
were too frequent and caused me
to get up from two. to three times
during the night' then again they
were very scanty, highly colored
and contained much sediment. I
heard that Doan's Kidney -Pills
were such a good remedy that I
got them at Mitcnener's Phar

my back and regulated the pas
