Changes In Public Roads Principal Theme COUNTY COMMISSIONERS IN A Delivery Routes Meeting Was Not Decisive TOURIST AND GUIDE MAY YET BE CHANCED TO- VIRGINIA WA TER3 BUT IT 13 NOT BELIEVED BY SHIPPERS HERE ANDSTEAM BOAT MEN IN NORFOLK. It was given out this morning that the meeting held In Norfolk last Fri day to decide whether or not the steamers Guide and Tourist, of the Virginia-Carolina . Inland S. S. Co. should be removed from Carolina wa- tres to assume a route on the Rappa hannock river, was not decisive and that the removal Is vet pending. The reasons Introduced before the stock holders for and against the removal have not been made known, but there were sufficient of each to cause the meeting to adjourn without a final decision having been reached. Mr. W. P. Ashburne, of Norfolk, general superintendent of the steam boat lines, was here this morning, but continued on to Columbia. He gave out no information relative to the proposed change, but It is believ ed that his trip has much to do with it and will carry the decision one way or the other. The prevailing belief here Is that no change will be made at all, a be lief concurred In by both the shippers and those who are Interested in the Rapahonnock end in Norfolk. One of the officials there has said It is doubtful if the steamers are large enough for the proposed new line and by other statements gave the locals much hope that the boats will not bo changed at all. It Is a matter of great Interest here among the shippers and receivers and a positive announcement, which It is believed will be made not later than this week, that the present route and schedule will be maintained, will be received with much satisfaction. Camden's Historian In Town Today The establishment of the regular IHist-offlce at Weeksvlllo has entail ed changes In the routes of rural freo delivery in the county, and more changes are expected to ensue within the next few days. Route No. 2, of which Mr. Solomon I. Pool, is carrier, will hereafter be known as route No. 1 from Weeksvlllo. The mall will be carried from here to Weeksvllle in a locked pouch and given in at the of flee, from which the carrier will got his mall. Route No. C from now on will bo designated as route No. 2 from Elizabeth City. These changes are Just the first and more will follow and of an Important nature. Information and directions are now dally expected from the de partment at Washington and Just what else will be done is not known. All the present carters will be retained, Unless the changes to be made in the future alter the new ar rangement of the routes, it is Bald they will be more convenient than ever before to the people living In the lower parts of the county. May Increase This County's I Chain Gang Mr. (ieoive H. ttigga. of South Mills, was in (own today with business be fore the county commissioners. Mr. Ri'jS? is Camden's historian, and has in possession some unusual and valu able records which are undlsputably authenic. lie has a accord of every Methodist minister who preached in Comden on a regular circuit during J the last century. He probably knows more about the Dismal Swawp canal and the celebrated Lake Drummond than any other man and his carefully preserved papers give detailed ac counts of happenings when Camden and Easoi - tank -were one and the same jCO'ir . when the court hpuea .was the truehne in which" M& iWlnslqw r lives, on what is Known as the U. er farm. He is often resorted to f ir information of this variety and al vf -a takes pride in furnishing, data oi facts and figures. - The steamer Tourist left here this morning at 9 o'clock on a special run to Columbia to accomodate the crowd who will attend Superior Court there this week. A number of lawyer and quite a few who will be mere spectators took advantage of the con venient hours. ' The docket of the term is made up of a number of important criminal and civil cases and the results of some of them .will be received with great attention throughout the section. It is given as the belief of several who are familiar with the conditions in Tyrell that the grand Jury wilPflnd some bills that will be of a surprising nature. The inference is made that the surprise will be connected with j the attack on Solicitor Ward when court was in session there before. The results of tf? blind User cases ! will also be received with consider able interest and it is said that there Is a possibility that Pasquotank's chain-gang may be increased. Several other people from this city will go to Columbia during this week. dax" , mm V Bit. SESSION THIS MORNING MARK ED BY ROUTINE WORK BILLS ORDERED PAID, ETC.

Chamber of Commerce: Washington, N. C, Nov. 3, 1905. Prof. S. L. Sheep, President Chamber of Commerce, Elizabeth City, N. C. My Dear Sir: Replying to your letter of the 30 ult, regarding the visit of the board of engineers to your city In connection with their inspec tion trip of the inland waterway, I beg to advise you that the board will ar rlyer in Elizabeth City on the afternoon train from Edenton on Monday, 13th inst. The board leaves Norfolk on Mondir rooming, the ' 13th inst, via No"IVrk and Southern, and holds a t.( oting In that town about one p. m., after which they will leave on the next train for Ella, City. During the after noon of the 13th, and immediately af ter their arrival, the board will embark on their steamer, which will have ar rived in Elizabeth City, for the pur pose of inspecting the Pasquotank river. They w':i return to Elizabeth City befort time for supper and hold hearing that evening. The board will leave Elizabeth City on Tuesday morn ing, the 14th, at ah early hour, so they will be at your service on Monday evening, say from 7 to 11 p. m. The board regards-the hearing at your city as one of the most important they will have. In connection with this hearing. permit me to say that the particular object of the same should not be lost sight of. The importance of the pro ject as a whole should be impressed upon the board, and sugffcsfions as to the best route should be made. The positions taken should be forti fied by facts and data. . To ths end I suggest that a committee be appointed who shall be directed to reduce to writing the views of the Chamber and this pn penhould be" carefully pre pared so that it will bear close in spection. It should be addressed to Col. Smith H. Leach, Corps of Engi neers, TJ. S. A., President Board of Engineers Investigating the Proposed Inland Waterway from Norfolk, Va. to Beaufort Inlet, N. C. At the hearing, or In the event you should tender the board some form of entertainment, it would be entirely appropriate to select a few of your citizens to respond briefly upon dif ferent phases of this project. They should be requested, however, to speak briefly and along practical lines. I very much hope that Senator Sim mons will be with the party, but he has not yet indicated his acceptance of the invitation tendered by Col. Leach. If I can serve you further in this connection, please command me. Yours very truly, JOHN H. SMALL.
