The Chamber of Commerce meeting last ' night aurpassed anticipation In the way of excitement, but vout o! the violent storm, 'line thunders and lightnings ol rhetoric and an angry sea ol contention ' came a white-winged dove of peace, which The Free Press earnestly hopes will be allowed to find a permanent reet- lnafolace. ",' There le etlll a greatdeal of excited and acrimonious talk, but a calm and impar- tial judgment would convince ail 01 me wisdom of referring the Irritating school site matter to the Chamber of Commerce and an admission that the outcome of - ' the meeting, the appointment ol a com mittee to assist the Board ol Trustees in olpetlnir a site, is calculated to bring peace, provided all parties to the issue nil! lay aside personal feeling and abide br calm, unbiased judgment. Thls, however, seems to be Impossible, and as divided pnblio sentiment now runs It looks like a hopeless task for any com . mittee to bring about a consummation that will pieaee all. This appears lmpoe slble because of this dissension,' It is not a question of public sentiment, but a di vision ol public sentiment, and both aides claim a majority. Therefore, where aver the site fa selected there is bound to ' - be dissatisfaction. The people may aa well make ud their minda right now thai no committeeman aettle this matter be-J yond dispute,- " the 01y wing wr wiem to do la to take a part in the selection of thecommlttee by voteand agree, aa good and loyal party pollticlane do, to abide ' by tfie" result,"whether It W pleasing or finofc ! - '' '"""?"'iV":i "But." will say a great! many, "thai committee is to be elected by the Cham ber, of Comnw rce, and we are not mem bers and will Jhave no vote.7 Kignt nere will come' a test of sincerity-- Member J ship In the Chamber Of Commerce Is open to any good cltiien .There Is tfm4 for anyone-who swauts a-voice in .tneaeiec- tlon' ""of "this" committee to hand their name and Initiation fee to ahy one of the membership committee and the first busi ness of the meeting will be to elect them to membership, whenjthJbayea full voice in the matter.

Doea not all the burden and anxiety about the child's ' welfare fall on the mother? It la she who packs the lunch basket and sees that the overshoes. umbrellas a. d wraps are ready if she la aMe to have such things. Do you aver tnincorthe, women who cannot, send their children to school well protected against bad weather? ' One lady in Kins ton save that every time it rains, hack fare for her oblldren to get to school costs ner tnirty cents, another says she has to fend her children off with wornout shoes n their feet and not a piece of wool on their bodies aa large as their hands. ."Gentlemen this oondltionconfronte von in Kinston and we beg to- aturgeet that you take for rour subject tonight this question:" "Why did' l vote for bonds and who influence J me to vote?'- Call on each member to speak or to tell why he .voted and ask If he is satisfied . with the results.

J. Bouse. Be said t was not his purpose or the purpose of any member of the board 'to do anything secretly and he deeply deplored the evi dence of public feeling. He said toe board had been prohibited from selecting the Webb lot by injunction whloh waa not lifted until last May. Meanwhile It had been at work on other sites. Option was served on Mrs. Perry's lot at tbe east end of Peyton avenue,' but it waa found too small. Then a lot owned by Mr." W. C. Field waa considered, but it waa decided that t was so near' tfte present site that the same objection, would be brought against It. Only a few month! ago the board In a body inspected the plot owned by Mr. Gabe Cox at the corner of Peyton avenue . and 'Independent street" This site was regarded aa desirable ln every way aud it waa thought It would 'be aa acceptable, to all parties aa any' that a ibid be selected" The board was willing to pay a reasonably high pr'ce, but con sidered Mr. Cox'e figure of $6,000 as altogether too high and dropped It. Ever since the injunction was removed the board baa been endeavoring to secure a more' central site and there never was a moment when the board would have declined lo select a central site if It could A RICH GIFT .TO , : THE CODIITY CRATOI PORTRAIT OF ITS PATROL Capt. tf.
