TO CONSTRUCT A CAR LINE The Executive Committee Met Last Night and Made Many Plans. Want Money Back They Paid For Stock In Newly Organized Bank HAVE ENGAGED A LAWYER About Three Thousand Dollars Worth Of Stock Sold In That Town. October 27 to November 1 is the date set for the next Eastern Carolina Fair. These dates ere set at a meet ing of the Executive Committee held last night in the Elks' Temple. The meeting last night was jpne jf the most important ever held akd was attended by every member of the com mittcc. One of the most important matters taken up was that in regards to) getting transportation to the Fair Grounds. Ever since the Eastern Carolina Fair Association was. first organized this has been a serious prob lem to the stockholders and officers Last year, which was incidentally the first year, large sightseeing automo biles and limits were utilized in getting the visitors to and from the ground but this method was very costly to the 'patrons of the Fair and was not very satisfactory in other ways. Since that time the Executive Com mittcc has been evolving some plait to get belter transportation facilities and they have decided that a car line from the city to the grounds will be the only way to solve the problem suc cessfully. Accordingly, at' the meeting last night T. G. Hymah made a motion that the Fair Association' have a car line to the Fair grounds before the next Fair, even if the Association is com pelled to build it themselves by bond ing the road. This motion was una nimously carried and Clyde Eby, T. G. Hyman and T. A. Uzzcll were ap-' pointed as a committee to take up mat ter with ti e New B;r.n Ghent Street Railway Company or with the Norfolk Southern Railway Company or both and ascertain whetler or not they would furnish transportation to the Fair grounds and if r.ec:ssaryr to offer them a monetary consideration for doing this. The proposed plan came in for con 8iderablc comment and every member of the committee was unanimously in favor of gfcUlng ' r caC fine'tO the grounds and offered their entire support in any possible way. I he committee who arc to take the matter up with the local street railway company and the Norfolk Southern Railway Company will act at once and will make report at a meeting to be held at an early date President Clyde Eby was given the power to appoint a committee to open Glenburnie Park and he will do this today. This committee will have in structions tdNret the cost of the erec tion of a large pavilion, the placing of numerous electric lights at various points on the grounds and will also have charge of securing the amuse ments. The work of getting the park in readiness for opening will probably begin next week and will be rushed to completion arearly as possible. There , is much to be done before the pat k will be ready to be thrown open but when everything is in readiness the publt may rest assured that it will be one - -of the m .st complete pleasure resort-' of its kinds in the entire State.

Several weeks ago two of the State's? Trust Company's organizers visited Newport and after explaining the ob ject of their visit succeeded in getting stock subscribed for to the amount of about three thousand dollars. A part of this money was paid in cash and the remainder in notes, the latter being put in the bank and discounted. Fortunately for the investors they purchased but small amounts of stock, the largest block sold amounting to only five hundred dollars. The pro moters seemed to.be working in good faith that the proposition they were offering was bona fide and the people of Newport, having implicit confidence in their integrity and business stand ing, had not the least fear. The ma terial for the erection of a banking building was secured and work on this was to have been started within a ew days, but prior to tlyat time the an nouncement was made thatthe State's Trust Company was not complying with the State laws and all thought of going ahead with the work was a andoncd. Further developments led the New port stockholders to believe that they had been buncoed and they came to New Bern and engaged the services of D. L. Ward, a well known local at torncy. Now they arc trying to get back the money that they paid out for stock in the bank. The notes which they gave, it is understood, were placed in a bank and discounted and they w II be compelled to pay there. At present the entire situation, is somewhat mixed and nothings definite has beeri given out about the plans for recovering the moneyyWhich -they paid out. Chattanooga, Tcnn., April 10. T. O.
