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.

Price ?5c 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 represented: Pay etteville, .

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.

The banquet last night was' a great event The armory was decorated in evergreen and an elaborate banquet served by the Daughters of Pocahontas. A table stretched, from near the door to the platform in the rear, around which about a Hundred people were seated and when they were through about another hundred people enjoyed a feast oL saladj, pickles, sandwiches, iced tea, fruits, Norfolk ice cream and cake. The occasion was enlivened with music by Ziegler's orchestra ad dresses by Dr. E. J. Griffin of Edenton, and Great Sachem D. E. Henderson of Newbern.
