The following is the account of the meeting given 1n the New born Sun of Saturday afternoon: , "Washington. N.C. May 1 C. W. Morgan', of Hertford, is As sistant Fish t'oinmissioner and John 'A. Nelson, of Morehead tity. is Shelfish Conunissioner as a result of the conference here yesterday between the fisheries Commission auj Uov- ernor Craig. It is an open secret, however, that there are a great many dissatisfied people because of the fact that J . H . IjoKov has been left out in cold.

Consequently they stnfck to him. Since Governor Craig has been in office he has appointed men who never supported him ii their lives. He appointed a majority of men on the fish commission from the ranks of his former enemies and now he is trp against it. News re ports state that he had to go Wajshington, N.
