' The regular quarterly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will take place at the court house Thursday night at 8 o'clock. At this meeting the organiza tion will be addressed by Mr. B. F, Rice, Industrial Agent for thejNorfolk South em, who will make a short" talk on the subject of advertising local advantages. Mr. Rice has spent many years in this line of work, and is thoroughly versed in all phases of the subject Sometime ago he made an addresu to the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce hich waao'h helpful and instructive. The meeting will also be addressed by Mr, S. A Thompson, Field Secretary of the Nation 1 Rivera and Harbors Congress, who is touring the South in the interest of that organization. Mr. Thompson is rco:n'zed as one of ' the leading authorities of theU iited StateB on the subject of waterways and is a forceful and eloquent speaker. He has been a stddent of the subject for mire than 25 years, and has gathered a great store of facts relating to the transpor tation question, some of which are star tling in their nature, and would hardly be creditable it thev were not taken from official reports. Mr., Thompson has a memory which seems to have no limit, so tie is able lo speak without eo much as a scrap o( paper, and quote facts and figures with absolute accura ey. out any one no expects a dry sta tiftical talk" will be agreeably disap pointed.

The battle began at dawn, the Fed erals attacking the insurrectos, who oc cupied the town. The national troops were repeatedly repulsed, with heavy losses, it being estimated that more than 2(H) Federal soldiers were killed and wounded. The rebel loss was 20.

Puck. : From Swansboro on The Atlantic Ocean iti Onslow County to Farm villc in Pitt County. Through the efforts of Mr. J. K Dixon, our esteemed fellow citizen and Honorable Representative, the member from Jones county in the. last legisla ture, the charter of the Trent River Railroad Company was granted The first purpose of this charter is, as before stated by advocates,, to con nect by a short line of railroad in every part of the county. There are now three North and South lines of railroad running through Jones county, which do not meet the demand for interior development nor aftrd a direct connection with all sections of the county with each other and the ouWdq world. These lines are: 1st, The Atlantic Coast Line from New Bern to Wilming ton, via Pollocksville and Maysville. ' 2nd. The John L. Roper Road from New Bern to Catherine Lake, via Pol locksville and upper White Oak p.nd evidently destined to point further South. These first two roads are in the lower or eastern end of Jones ounty. 3rd. Th Dover South Bound from Dover to Richlands, via Foys' Taylor's, Phillip's, Dudley's and Comfort in the upper or western end of Jones county. None of these roads reach our county seat at Trenton or pass through'the rich middle section of our county. Under present conditions it will take about two days to go from Maysville to Com fort by rail, In fact one can make the round trip to New York City and spend a day of business or pleasure in that Metropolis in less time than it will take to make the round trip by rail from the Eastern to the Western end of Joo 8 county and spend a day In building a new railroad it is in -pnrtant that we take advantage of our natural facilities, and while it cannot b ; built, literally, by every man's door yet every man in the county will, prac- ticully, have a railroad at his immediate convenience. The proposed Trent River R;iili o id will develop the entire county, put our county seat on a railroad-' line and do the most good to all the people for, "Breathes There a Man With Soul so Dead etc." The charter of the Trent River Rail road proposes to construct a railroad from some point at deep water on Trent river at or near Pollocksville in Jcnes county via Trenton to some point on the Dover South Bound with the privilege of extending East and "West to make any other railroad or water connection. The distance from Pollocksville via Trenton to the Dover South Bound is about (17) seventeen miles. This seven teen (17) mi es of railroad will connect and link together every part of Jon s county and put every neighborhood in the county in touch with the outside world. And the end is not yet. The building of this seventeen (17) miles of railroad, opt ning a large, rich section of our county, giving easy, quick trans portation to a large per cent of our people, who have so long been deprived of these developing agencies, putting our county seat, Trenton, on a railroad line and on the march lo growth and prosperity but the construction of this seventeen (17) miles of railroad makes the following lines feaaiable and. practi cable, for instance, at Pollocksville you connect with the Atlantic Coast Line for New Bern and Wilmington, the John L Roper road for New Bern and the South, the Trent river with deep water for New Bern and the Atlantic Ocean. From Trent river secure trackage over the John L. Roper road to the White Oak road at Miss O'.dfield's plantation, build a line from that point Eastwardiy crossing and connecting again with the Atlantic Coast Line at MayavHle, thence d wa the North Side of White Oak river throught the celebrated Long Point Plantation, which now belongs to the estate ef the late Henry H. Rogers, who it is said had -ttuj distinction of building the Virginia Railroad from the coal fields of West Virginia to Norfolk harbor, a distance of 400 miles at a cost of forty million dollars, without a single bond or a dollars worth of stock liabili ty against it This celebrated Long Point plantation has six miles of water front on the White Oak river in Jones county and contains possibly the most valuable ori ginal pine forest of any .tract of similar size in North Carolina.

' Washington, April 10 "An invasion of Mexico, designed for a limited and temporary purpose, might be likMouch ing a match to a tinder house. " Senator Bacon, of Georgia, ' ranking minority member of the Senate Com mittee on Foreign Relations,' thus epitomized'-the sentiment of leaders of , both parties in the two branches of Congress.' While recognizing the grav ity of the situation in. Mexico. Con gress is satisfied that the President is doing everything that can be done un der the circumstances, and nowhere i there seen the slightest disposition to embarrass him w his program. it was learned at the close of a con ference at the White House at which were Senator Cuilom, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela tions, and Representative Sulzer, chair man of the House Committee, on For eign Affairs, that President Taft, for the present at least does not contem plate sending to Congress a special message, dealing with Mt xican affairs. The President, however, is keeping the leaders of both parties in Congress thoroughly acquainted with develop ments, with the result that the closest co-operation exists between the Capitol and the White House. Positive assurance that the Mexican government will adopt a "definite re striction policy along the torder. and news from Douglas that the rebel for ces have evacuated Agua Prieta, has done much to relieve the high tension nnder which President Taft and mem bers 4f his official family have laboied. The assurances from Mexico followed demands of the State Department that fighting which endangered American lives in the border town must be stop ped. Dispatches receive I at thi White House from Douglas indicate that the situation along the border is now quite satisfactory. A m ssage from Govern-, or Sloan, of Arizona, slid in part; .
