NEEDS OF CHAMBER NUMEROUS In Order To: Fill Them, Vigorous Effort To Get More Men In It Will Be Made. The Chaxhber of Commsrce is plan ning to double its activity during the year 1913, its officers holding that the time has come when every white citizen in New Bern should not only be a member .of the organization, bnt should be an active "booster" as well. "The Chamber of Commerce has helds its meetings at the court house long enough, "said Secretary J. Leon Williams yesterday. "The time has come when this organization should have a hall of its own. There is a hall iti New Bern, located in the business section of the city, which would nake in ideal place for this purpose. 1 "The Chamber of Commerce needs ,'new literature describing various phases of New Bern's activity. These book lets should contain reading matter and pictures showing our magnificent streets, public buildings, churches, schools, new street car system, land develop ment companies, Fair grounds, water works, fire department, industries in fact these booklets should be the best advertising medium of its kind ever sent out in North Carolina. They should tell of the wonderful agri cultural possibilities .about our water ways, and about the cheap rate of taxation which we now enjoy in New Bern. -.-', Get Conventions Here. "For the year 1913 every effort should be made . to get every convention possible to meet in New Bern. Nothing advertises a city more than to have the best people from the various communi ties spend a few pleasant days in our i midst. "With the water facilities npw en joyed by New Bern it should be a great distributing centre. It should be able tip compete with towns far inland in tie distribution of goods received from the North. "These are some of the things that the Chamber .of Commerce must ac complish for 1913. To make these things possible it is necessary that the njlembership must be greatly enlarged. l"On Tuesday night, February 11, aj gigantic membership campaign will bfe launched at a smoker at the court hjouse at 8 o'clock. Every member of the Chamber of -Commerce is urged to be on hand promptly and help in this npvement. Every other citizen- who i interested is Invited to be on hand. ', "The plan of campaign is as fol low: The Chamber of Commerce will b(e divided into ten companies. Each company willl. "elect its ; own captain. A irreement cards on which new mem bers agree,.'to . join the . Chamber, f Commerce; and . be a, member, for one jye ir, will be distributed to the various fm :mbers of the Chamber of Commerce. Etch card, before 'it is distributed to m-mbers of the Chamber of Commerce, ill bear the name . of some person who does not belong to the Chamber of Commerce, so that the members of the organization who take these cards will not be running" around in a hap hazard sort of way but will have' some definite person to see.

MANY OTHER CASES ARE TRIED Boy Who Broke Into Store Will Probably Be Bound Out For Term of Two Years. Yesterday's session of Craven County Superior Court was the busiest of the week and at the close of ' the day's, work not more than four or five cases remained out of a docket of ninety two cases with which the court was confronted at the beginning of the term. One of the most important cases disposed of during the day was that of the State vs. John Gilmore in which the defandant was charged with steal ing a mule from Julius Arnold of Vance boro. Gilmore entered a plea of guilty and Judge Allen sentenced him to a term of fouj- years in the State prison. Oscar Croom pleaded guilty to a charge of retailing spirituous liquors but sentence in his case has not been passed. James Threadgill, the negro boy who a few weeks ago entered B. B. Bellamah's store in the Northern part of the city, entered a plea of guilty to a charge of breaking into a store. Owing to the youth of the boy Judge Allen stated that he disliked to send him .to the penitentiary and finally decided to bind him out to Ex-Sheriff Biddle for two years if it was agreeable to the boy's father. The matter will be definitely decided today. Thomas Campbell, a. white sailor charged with stealing a sum of money from a barge which was ' anchored in this port several weeks ago, was ac quitted. The man stated to the judge . that he was without means of support and was warned to get Out of the city at once or to find some work.
