Small, who has won lasting popularity in Eliza beth City and the whole Albemarle district by his j untiring efforts for and accomplishments iii developments is also winning words of praise from the western end of the state. A Charlotte, journal has the follow-. ing to say: ' ' 'Hon. John H. Small, representa tive in congress of the first district of North Carolina, could not come to the' forest reserve j convention, j but he manifested his interest in its purpose by sending a letter giving his unquali fied support to the movement and backing up this support with argu ments that were convincing.

Co. is authority for the statement that fiva hundred or more thrifty and intelligent Germans will be located in Va.-Carolina Coast R. R. which is now Una in Washington, Tyrrell and Hyde counties. , The German immigrants have been induced to locate along the line of the East Coast railroad which Is now in process of construction from Mac key's Ferry to Fairfield through the efforts of the management of the new railroad. This railroad will traverse one of the most fertile regions in the world which hitherto from an agri cultural standpoint has not been de veloped to its highest capacity on account of the isolation or this sec tion from the outside world. Unusual activities in real estate hare been noticeable In the region traverse! by this railroad, ever since it has been proposed, the railroad it self having invested largely In farm ing and timber, lands. Mr. Lucas stated that his railroad has appropriated $100,000 for the im migration department to b? used in the industrial upbuilding or that com munity As soon as these German families get acclimated to the conditions which surround them others will come until the country will be developed to a high degree. ; Orders Placed For 38 New Machines And 3000 Square Feet Floor Space Will Be Added.

A movement of several weeks standing will come to a definite issue next week when a meeting will be held for the organization of a local insurance company. The meeting was to have been held this week, but owing to the unavoidable absence of principal promoters it was deferred. The plans are to organize some of the leading business men of the city, i each of whom will subscribe so many shares, in making up the desired cap ital. It will be strictly a home enter prise and will supposedly be conduct ed along mutual benefit lines. The organization was suggested sometime ago in the Daily Economist, and was at once advocated by some of the leading citizens, who have al ready done much of the preliminary work towards organization, and that the company will be formed is assur- Money can buy experience but it cannot ! buy wisdom - and happiness; but these will naturally follow the use of Head Comforts, a safe, harmless, and guaranteed-cure for headache and neuralgia. 10 cents per bottle, at Standard Pharmacy. mar 5-lw Miss Mae Mahoney, of Berkley, is here to remain a week with friends.

His constant and untiring efforts for an inland waterway near the South Atlantic coast, a matter that involves national interests, are to his infinite credit not only as a duty to his state, but to the nation. It may be assumed that Congressman Small will do good work for the Appalachian forest re serve and the New Englanders . may rest assured that his efforts will not be confined to forwarding the inter ests of thi3 state or the South Atlan tic section, but he will stand for a White Mountain reserve as ; well as the Appalachian.'

The work was conducted on First street where over SCO feet was put! down last week. A car load of pipe v is now en route and will be received before the 15th instant. Work will then be resumed and pushed as fast as possible. It is assured that there is. to be no unnecessary city this modern delay in giving convenience. the ed readily by several who are advo-1 ways to the people of many states. The chamber of commerce in its promotion of the interests of the city has firmly decided upon the same course adopted by other cities judic ious advertising. , Representatives of the chamber went before the aldermen to secure an appropriation to help defray ex penses to be incurred by the insertion of ads. in the papers of Virginia, prob ably other states, but the aldermen failed to regard the scheme with fav or and no appropriation was made. Following this however, the cham ber has decided upon another" plan, one likely to prove equally as effec tive.

Charles A. G. Thomas, former ly of Portsmouth, who has for some time been pastor of the Baptist church at Edenton, N. C, has accept ed a call to Monroe, N. C. This week's Raleigh IMblical Recorder says of the change: "Monroe church has called Brother C. A. G. Thomas, of Edenton. Mon roe has done herself the honor to stck for one of our best pastors and preachers. ' - , Rev. Thomas was also at one time pastor of the Baptist church in this city, which he served for several years In a manner eminently proficient. He was practically the founder of the splendid First Baptist church and through his efforts a considerable amount was raised for It. He was called from this city to Edenton.

It is something that appeals to ev- ery property owner who annually pays out a considerable sum of mon ey on policies he is almost forced to hold. The best companies in the world are represented here by good agents and the locals are given all the bene fits of th.e various forms of policies, but the local company would doubt less have the support of all, and even tually prove one of the strongest or ganizations in the state. "The Worth Of A Man" Tonight Rev. R. R. Overby, of Belcross, is in the city today on professional busi ness. Mr. James Sears, of Richmond, is in town today on business. Elizabeth City is among the most thriving and progressive cities In the state; it is natural she should want it widely known. It offers splendid chances to men with money to invest; those capitalists wish to know fully the particulars. The pamphlet will cover it all. At the present time there are labor furnishing additions projected for the city which alone aggregate a cost of nearly half a million dollars, and that they will . materialize is reasona bly certain. The object is to place the same facts before all people which caused the projectors of the above en terprises to decide to Invest money here, in the belief thatthe real mer its of the city will likewise Interest other capitalists. The local ball tossers and those in terested in the great national game are waxing enthusiastic over pros pects for a team this seastjn. Besides nearly all of last season's players. several new mex have been received and the team will be considerably strengthened by them. The grounds will be fenced in dur Ing the next few weeks and will be otherwise improved, making them one of the best owned by an amateur team in the state. As soon as the weather modifies sufficiently the team will commence practice work, to get In shape to win all the games Manager James has commenced to book.

John, of 'Indiana, will deliver his famous lecture, ' 'The Worth of a Man' at the Y. M. C. A. tonight, and in Elizabeth City will no doubt be greeted by one of the same large audiences he draws everywhere. The seat reservation has ; been in progress at the Y. M.- C. A. since Wednesday morning and the number pegged off guarantees that the at tendance will be as large as any drawn by the; entertainment course. I As a general thing a lecture is not well attended here unless the speaker is well known, but "The Worth of a Man ' presents features which can not be missed. i There are several people in the city who have heard Dr. John in other states and they speak in the highest terms of him. v Yesterday at Winston-Salem, Will iam Plean and Sam Kobce were ar rested and committed to jail upon the charge of murdering Henry Kobre in. his store January 21st. The par ties, arrested are Hebrews and Sam Kobre is a brother of the murdered man. Two more are suspected as ac complices and will likely be arrested, i - The body of an elegant dressed wo man was recently taken from the Seine river near the city of Parin; France. The under clothing was marked Ethel A. Brown, an American bomed at Fayetteville. Investigation in Fayetteville, N. C, reveals the fact that no such person belongs there. Sam Kobre and William Plean, the two Hebrews recently arrested in Winston-Salem upon the charge of murdering Henry Kobre, a Hebrew merchant, were yesterday bound over to the May term of Forsyth superior court and were committed to Jdil without ball. Sallie Stewart the white girl who gave-damaging testimony to the officer before the two men were arrested refused to testify in the may or's court. She will be held until she tells what she knows. Wednesday night at the skating rink in Wilson, Miss Jennie Ellis, of Raleigh, who is visiting in Wilson fell and broke her arm. Mr. T. B. Myers, one of the oldest citizens of Beaufort county died yes terday morning after a short illness of pneumonia.. He was SO years old. Hon. N. C.

M. C. A. Ust night between two picked teams. No. 1 and No. ?. the first winning by the ncoro of 7 to 4. The contest, though spirited enough, was a poor exhibition com pared to some of the games seen In the gymnasium the players appearing to bo badly out of practice. Next week will begin a Fcrle of games for tho reason's championship, but other teams will come In, some reorganizing will probably 1 done and tho games brought to an e-ual with the championship series of for mer seasons. Mr. T. . M. Guard reported to an Economist man yesterday an unusual find which happened at Smyrna In the Core Sound distric & day or two ago. Mr. O. B. Wade, while opening large Core Sound oysters, found In an oys ter of more than the usual size, forty four perfect pearls varying In fclze from a .small shot up' to tho size of number eight shot. These pearls were perfectly formed and possessel a brilliant lustre of magnificent hues. The pearl oyster Is vry rare la tfcera waters, although fcmall pearls are oc casionally found single. An oyster containing so many pearls Is quite a curiosity in the oyster district of the sound regions; and such a find has excited the liveliest Interest among the oyster catcher!. Will Not Affect New Mill Plans It was authentically stated this morning that the large additions to be made to the plant of the Elizabeth City Hosiery Company would not af fect the movement Instituted a few weeks ago for the organization of a stock company to construct and oper ate a new knitting mill in the city. The promoters of the new enterprise deem It adrlsable to "wait until later In the season before continuing the efforts to secure tha desired amount of stock and there Vt rests for tho presexi. " The project has not been abandon ed by any means and it Is assured the plans will be carried out fully. Mr. Wade preserved the pearls and very probably win have them set la some piece of Jewelry as a memento of his rare good luck. i 11 . i . 1 1 ! I . i , I t i V, ! i. )
