This was decided last night when the direc tors of the Eastern Carolina Fair Ass ociation Company met for the purpose of selecting officers for the isuing year. ." Thomas G. Hyman was selected aa first vice-president B. B.: Hurst, second vice-president; A. T. Dill, treasurer; W. C. Willett, superintendent of grounds. There .were two applications for the office of secretary, one of these was from J. Leon Williams, fornnr secretary and , the other from George Green who is bow acting in that capacity for the Chamber' of Commerce. . No decision was rendered in the matter, the question - being left ; open - until next Tuesday . night end during the interim both . ' applications will be considered. ' The following Executive Committee was 'elected: J. S.'. Miller DrcN.'M. Gibbs, L. H. Cutler, Jr.; B.B,' Hurst, W. C. Willett, A. .T. Dill, Owen G. Dunn, E. Hi Meadows, Jr.,.T, G.-Hyman, -T.. A- Uzzell, H. B. Craven, C. L. Ives, John Aberly, J. Vernon. Blades, H. K." Land, Chaa. Coplon.- -'' J After the election of officers had been concluded,' several propositions were taken up and discussed. Among these . . was a suggestion from1 President Eby who told of the progress which had been ' made in the . work of : securing' the , right of way for track to be laid from ' the West Box Company 'as factory to the Fair grounds and .oyer which the Norfolk Southern Railway Company is to operate trains to that point. Mr. j-i 1 t!,:(t the r" '.t'cf -way ha.l no bteii secured and at an early date a committee will bo appointed to get out among the citizens and to dispose of stock, the money from which will be used in the construction of a track to the Fair grounds. Shares will be '' sold at one hundred dollars each,- on the easy payment plan and the pur-1 U chasers will be given twenty months 1 . in which tq pay for the stock. ' There is not the slightest doubt - but that ; this stock can be disposed of with ease and there is every reason to believe ; r that the track will be constructed iq time to assure the operation of trains to the Fair grounds by the next Fair. ; -''T Another matter of importance brought up before the close of the meeting last night was .that of inducing adjoiin ing counties to make exhibits at the Craven county Fair. .. . The commissioners of each adjoining county will be requested to urge that this proposition be accepted and every , effort will be made to make these ex hibits worthy of credit. r- ' ' ' ' j During the next few days a committee Will be appointed to arrange the pre- ,'miums which are to be given for the best exhibits of preserves, fruits, farm 'products, etc., and these are to be published at an early date. ... j k 1. .i da: , .

V,'',:; Wtth.sd many votes' to count the convention will have a task on its hands which; will not by any means be en-, joyed by 'the members and it is the general opinion that the canvass of the votes should have begun yesterday and concluded before the convention is called to order. t Howevci1, this was not done. r . ' Interest in the Congressional situa tion remains at fever heat. Each day the belief grows . stronger that Hon. Charles R. Thomas has secured, the nomination and his friends arc; con fidently asserting that the vote when counted will be found in his favor. There seems to be some doubt In the minds of a few that it will not be an easy task to count all of these votes, there being so many candidates in the rue.

C May 20.- There has been little chanre ia the aati-uust legislation situation in Con gress for ten days.'. Those conversant with the facts do not think that more thaa one-fourth of the members of the House or Senate care to tackle se riously ; the ' measure at this session. The House may pass one or more anti trust measures, but the Senate will discuss them for a time and adjourn without . passing them -such is the concensus of opinio now... ",o-,v .- The House will begin, consideration of the proposed, trust legislation this week. The, Senate Committee on .la-' terstate Commerce -expects to report the Trade Commission bill, which was prepared by ,a non-partisan 'Subcom mittee two weeks ago., ,. , " ' The trouble about, this anti-trust legislation, according to the leader of the Democratic forces of the House, is that; t require hard work and members of Congress have been here so long without a rest taht they lack enthusiasm. for the great. effort it will require.' Three out of iour members of . the House would jafber- not pass trust bills at this time. . j . The demands of American , Fed eration of 'Labor are worrying "labor Congressmen." The President ha in dicated in no uncertain way that he win not stand for the exemption of labor organizations ,from the operation of the Sherman law .and other anti trust ' acts to come. " President Gompers and - associates who manage the affairs of the Ameri can Federation of Labor have s eH on ' ' ' that the House bill must Lti bo i .d- ed "that it will definitely and, clearly exempt the organizations of workers from the civil as well as the criminal sections of the Sherman Anti-Trust law, and by so doing redeem the pled ge of the Democratic party." It was undoubtedly; the htention of Congress, the labor teat!, argue, ia connection- with the 'Sher - actr to enact a law that" wonkVixr t..rr is- the prevention , of huge combination- of wealth from crushing their com petitora in the business world. It was. also the avowed and openly expressed opinion of Ke statesmen who wrote . the law that it should not apply to far mers or laborers' organizations estab lished fdr;the betterment of the pro ducers of wealth. '-i.. Over these interpretations the con gressmen will battle for some weeks. The, House and Senate will support the President in his purpose to give union labor just what he thinks it is entitled to and no more under the Sherman law. - The House, bill presented by Chair-. man Clayton, of the. Judiciary Com mittee, doe cot exempt the labor un ions from-prosecution undjr the Sher man act. It provide that nothing contained in the anti-trust law. will be ! strued to forbid the existence and prevention' of fraternal, labor, consumers, agricultural of historical organizations, orders or associations instituted for the purpose of mutual help, and, not having capital stock or help, or conducted for profit, or to for bid or restrain individual members from , , carrying out the legitimate objects thereof."
