From 'the beginning M-f ie was a fine jcrowd present. Im liately on being called to order, r' i ;j association listened to the ijitro ; if tory sermon, preached by Rev. J. il. Ferebee, of Elizabeth City. The .sermon from thej I text, John 14:3, "I to prepare a place for you,' ' was practical, helpful!, and powerful, and vas enjoyed byj all who heard it, which was a packed-house. After the finnon the -meeting adjourned until two o'clock or dinner. Afternoon Session. Scripture was read by A. F. Round-trf- . prayer , by Brother Bristow. To accommodate the crowds, Rev. Mr. Gay preached in the grove. The first order of business was tho urbanization The office of mederator i - - having beenr made vacant by brother .i. E. G. "Warren's, removal to Texas, tho selection of a new moderator was of importance: But a suitable mai was found in the person of the effi cient Clerk Lycurgus Hoffler, who was with unanimous consent chosen mod orator, and the efficient reading clerk' for several years, Mr. James G. Greg ory, was in the same manner made clerk of thej association. Mr. John 13. Berry was elected reading clerk. The pastor of the church, Rev. J. W. Rose in a few words welcomed all to the good things of the community, which welcome was happily respond ed to by Rev! Mr. Wood, of Manteo. Second Order of Business. Under this order the report on per iodicals was taken up and after good speeches by i Brother Farmer, of the state paper, the Biblical Recorder, Dr. R. R. Over by, of more than 50 years experience as pastor in the associa- tion; Stallings, ot uaman, ana omers the. report was adopted. It was urged by all 'these speakers that Baptists to be intelligent Baptists must read the best literature, and it was given as the experience of all that those who read the official organs of the denom ination were the ones who were giv ing to missions and other objects. Second Report. The second report was on ministe rial aid, in which it was urgeM that we must take care of ourold: minis ters. The report showed about $3,000 . having been used for this purpose last ear. Pledges were taken for the coming year and the churches pledged about $150. j The report was adopted. f Committee 'composed of Brethren Sawyer, Batejnan and Harrell were appointed on time, place, and sermon for next meeting. ; The report which doubtless was of most interest of the session was the report of thecommitee appointed on .the establishment of an associational school .-in the! bounds of the associa t ui, The report follows in full : To the moderator and members of the Chowan Baptist Association: Your commit tee appointed to look '.:) consideration the advisability of e-tablishing a school suitable for the reparation of boys and girls for col- lege, within jhe bounds of the asso ciation, respectfully submit: That it is; its, opinion, that it is ndvisible to establish such a school. That the denomination is able finan cially and numerically to establish, 'quip and maintain a good school which would be a feeder to pur col lie interest? and the university for l oys and girls. We therefore recom mend that committee be appointed to adopt plans,! secure site and means ' to establish such a school, in such lo cality as in their judgmejit they deem 'est. I Respectfully submitted, E. F. AYDLETT, M. N. SAWYER, J. II. MORRISETTE. A. T. BUSH, . I L. W. NORMAN, Committee. The report was spoken "to by J. F. Vines, Rev.! Mr. Alderman, Dr. R. R.; Overby and; others. The talks were; full of enthusiasm, and the report Is Largely Attended And i Interest. ! TO PERPETUATE FORESTS STATE FOREST ASSOCIATION TO BE ORGANIZED AND WILL CO OPERATE WITH GOVERNMENT BUREAU TREE CULTURE. Dr. James H. Pratt has just return ed from Asheville, where he attended the annual meeting of the American Cotton Manufacturers' Association in the interest of the Appalachian For est Reserve. (He drew up the resolu tions passed by the association relat ing to the Appalachian and White Mountain j Forest" Reserves, and also relating to State forestry associations. He is now formulating plans for the formation of a North Carolina State Forestry Association which shall have for its objects the perpetuation of North ; Carolina forests; the culti vation of trees on deserted farm lands; planting of trees in the cities and towns; the obtaining of suitable legislation that will prevent the whole sale destruction of forestry, and the spreading) of literature relating! to trees and j their care. It is believed that an association of this character wrill do considerable toward stimulat ing tree culture in the state; wTill be the means of saving many of the trees in cities and towns, and along the streets and roads; and will also teach the value of trees. ' The Bureau of Forestry of the United States Department of Agricul ture is co-operating with the North Carolina Geologic and Economic Sur vey in making a working plan for tho cutting of the lumber that will be sold from the swamp timber lands be longing to the, state. j GAME RESULTED IN TIE I i The first of: a series of baseball games between! the teams of the pub iic school and A. C. I. was played yes terday afternoon on the A. H. S. dia mond and resulted in a tie, the score at the end of the nineth inning being !7 to 7. Some of the players had to leave and the game was not finished, tt - was hard fought and the final re sult was always in doubt. i J i 1 I evoked much interest, but the whole Sentiment -eemed heartily in favor of the report. After being fully discuss ed the report was unanimously adopt ed and the 'same committee continued With instructions to carry out he recommendations of the report. I Adjourned to meet at' 9:30 tomor row. Wednesday Morning. Meeting opened promptly at 9:30 o'clock. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. T. S. Crutchfield. First order of business was the re port on ministerial education. Rev. Claude! W. Duke, who was to have made this report, having remov ed to Florida; there ! was no report. jBut the topic was discussed by Rev T. S. Crutchfield, who urged the slip port of this cause. Report also was spoken to by! Brethren Brickhouse, Vines and Dr. Overby urged an ad vance. ; ! !v . The reports of. orphanage and state missions were heard at the., morning session, and were warmly discussed. The report ori orphanage was spoken to by M. L. Kesler, the representative ii j of that great institution. Rev. Height C. Moore spoke state missions. These two were' leading talks j on the subjects. Adjourned until afternoon. i on the CAROLINA ALL PLANTINGS IN LOWER SOUNDS ARE IN A FLOURISH ING CONDITION AND LARGE AD- VANCE PREDICTED. The final revised proof or a paper on oyster culture in North Carolina has just been turned over to the Public Printer by the North Carolina Geologic and Economic Survey, and it is expected to be ready for publica tion by June 1st. This paper, treats especially of the possibility and prac ticability of cultivating the oyster commercially in North Carolina waters. k Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, the State Geologist, is now en route to Beaufort to inspect the plantings that have been made , in Pamlico Sound and have been under the supervision of Mr. Henry Allen, who is custodian of the Biological laboratory at Beau fort. There have been made 2G of these oyster plantings, all of which are in flourishing condition, and em phasize the practicability of cultivat ing the oyster in North Carolina. Dr. Pratt said that with suitable laws for regulating the leasing of bottoms and for protecting the grower, there will be a large advance in the oyster in dustry, which is now on a decided decline. With success attained in planting the bivalves in one section of the low er sounds, the process will extend to all parts of that region, and the pro moters seem sanguine of making the oyster industry equal, if not surpass what it once was. Elizabeth City will note progress made in reviving the industry with great interest, for here it is probably of more real importance than any where else. Eight or ten years ago the oyster business was among the city's princi pal winter industries. Last season It was a complete failure. Caught 2 Thieves In One Night The residents of North Road street have recently been losing poultry. Mr. R. J. Williams, who was among the sufferers decided to set steel trcps in his back lot. Last night up m visiting his trap he found in one a cat, in another a coon. His coonship wore a collar on his neck; and judg ing from his well fed, sleek appear ance he has been enjoying spring chickens at a great rate. It seems that. Mr. Williams suspicions were in the wrong, as he thought his loss s were resulting from the visits of a 4 'coon' ' of the biped pattern. Gunnin? Club To Be Organized The Elizabeth City Gunning Club was to have been organized yester day afternoon but Inability of many members to attend prevented. Notice has now been given the old members with the request to be present at the office of-Mayor J. B. Leigh this after noon at 4 o'clock, at which time an 1 place the club will be organized. In the future shoots will be held at the trap on the marsh every Wednes day afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. It is likely that another trophy cup will be competed for this season. A practice shoot was held yester day afternoon and resulted as follows: O. P. Gilbert. 12; L. D. Aydlett. 15; Chas. Grandy, 10: B. H. Fearing. 10; Stewart Rogers, 8; Jim Ballance. 1.1; J. B.

Hath-vray, Optician. April 9 lw. MANY PROTESTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO HIM AGAINST PLAN OF BRIDGING THE ALBEMARLE SOUND. As stated on several occasions In the Daily Economist there is objec tion on the part of a number of peo ple in Eastern Carolina to the con struction of a trestle bridge ovr Albe marle Sound at Edenton, by the new railroad interests that are building I in this section of the state. It is j contended that the construction of a trestle bridge will interfere with the free movement of fish from the sound to Edenton bay and thence up Roa noke, Chowan and Salmon rivers. It now develops that the proposed trestle and the objections to be filed against it are claiming attention in Washington. Voicing the many protests he has received on the subject, Representa tive Claude Kitchin has called the at tention of the War Department to the matter and has been assured that permission will not be given to bridge me sounu wunout a lull Hearing. Mr. ivuenin win not object to a span bridge, with spans seventy-five feet or such a matter apart, but he will oppose a trestle bridge. , Plans for a trestle five and one-half miles in length, and of a twelve de gree curve are being perfected. Such a trestle. It is stated. Is being oppos ed by all persons with Interests In that vicinity. The hearing in the matter will be of great Interest. Edenton Methodist Revival Concluded Rev. IL M. North returned yester day from Edenton, where for several days he assisted In conducting a re vival at the Mathodist church. The meeting was among the most success ful ever held thero. On one night there were eighteen accessions to the church. All the services were large ly attended and a deep interest ex tended through the week. Tribute Paid North Carolina A dispatch lrom Charlotte fays an other record breaking crowd filled the city yesterday to participate in the Mecklenburg Declaration of Indepen dence exercises, and the day was the most eventful one of the week. The first 'thing on the program was a floral parade of magnificent design and length, participated in by various types of vehicles and numerous auto mobiles, decorated in tho most artis tic manner; At 2:." Representative Champ Clark, of Missouri, addressed a large crowd At Vance Park. His subject was The United States of American in the Twentieth Century." He said that it was especially appropriate that a citizen of Missouri should address a North Carolina audience, 3for, ' he said, "the greatest man that ever lived in Missouri Thomas II. IVnton was born in this state." The speak- er deplored the fact that South and the southwest had paid so little attention to recording the eventful deeds of their citizens, and then re viewed the country's growth since 1SO0. In the afternoon a crowd estimated at 20,000 assembled at the fair grounds and witnessed the drilling of the United States troops and marine j corps.
