Important Meeting Chamber

Last Night.
Of
MANY MATTERS
DISCUSSED
Various Committees .Make Some
Very Interesting Re
ports. The meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce held at the1 Court House
last night was one of the most import
ant held during the year. Unfortunate-
ly business kept many of the members
away from the meeting but what was
lacking in numbers was more than made
up "for in enthusiasm.
This meeting was held mainly for
the puropse of hearing the reports
of the chairmen of the various com-
mittees appointed some time ago and I
incidently to discuss the just freight
movement.
The 'first report was made by
C. D. Bradham, chairman of the Ad
vertisine Committee. This committee
is now engaged in getting up a booklet
-which is to be distributed over the
North and West and "which- will ad
vertise this section. Mr. Bradhan told
in a brief way of the work which had
been accomplished by reading the matter
which has been prepared for the booklet.
Following this there was some dis
cussion in regard to the shape in which
this booklet is to be gotten up. A few
of . the members were of the opinion
that it would be advisable to make)
two booklets and divide the matter,
This plan met with but little favor,
however, but upon motion it was de-
cided to leave the matter in the hands
of the committee anti let them do.as
they saw fit about it. t
W. W Griffin, chairman of the Mem-
bership Committee, made a report on
. ... i l If! I
the work: wnicn nas oeen accompnsnea
by this committee since its organiza-1
tion. He-stated that at a recent meet-
ing they had inaugurated a campaign
for new members and had secured
iffhteen. Eitfht of these have dropped
out, but one new member, C. E. Hooker,
9 " - I
was added last night.
W. C. Rodney, chairman of the Fi-
nance and House committee made a
report in which h&explained to the mem
bers of the organization how much money
had been received and expended since
the last meeting. According to Mr.
Rodney's report there is now about
tow hundred dollars in the treasury
and the organization is out of debt.
The report of the Retail Extension
Committee of which Charles Coplonlago. The school was so fortunate as
is chairman was next made., Mr.
Coplon told of the success this com -

benefits derived from the "Merchants

GOT -OVER MERCURY POISON
Bicarbonate Of Soda Solution Saved
Detroit Engineer.
Detroit, May 30. Thomas McCabe,
a Uetroit engineer, who swallowed
10 drams of bichloride of mercury a
week ago, has recovered.
A solution of bicarbonate of soda,
injected into his veins by Dr. Andrew
T. Sherman, saved the life of the en-
K'rieer. who took the poison because B.
Sanders Walker ,of Macon, Ga., said
death from its effects was painless.
"I believe if bicarbonate of soda is
used in such cases a large percentage
of them will be saved," said .Dr. Sher
man. "The injections can be made
in any vein. I made eight punctures
in all, the injections, being given every
five or six hours. Fourteen drams of
becarbonate of soda in three pints of 1
"normal water' solution was used.
The thing of most importance in
administering the treatment is to be
certain the solution is absolutely asep-
tic, otherwise the patient would be
killed by it."
After swallowing the poison and suf-
fering intense agony McCabe decided
he wanted to live and aided the physi-
cian in every way possible.

HEARING BEFORE S. R. STREET
Violated Law By Having
Several
Gallons Of Whiskey
Their Possession.
In
Noah Lee, white, and Sheppard
Taylor colored, of Arapahoe were given
la hearing before Justice of the Peace
S. "R. Street yesterday afternoon on a
warrants charging them with violating
the law by having more that one gal
Ion of whiskey in their possession.
Journal readers will remember that
Lee and Taylor were arrested last
Tuesday just after hey had emerged
from the Southern Express Company's
orhce on south rroi t street and a
package consigned to Taylor and which
contained four gallons of whiskey was
found in their possessiou.
It turned out that Lee had signed
for this whiskey and according to
Taylor's testimony he had ordered one
gallon for him. Lee stated that he
had only ordered one gallon and that
the firm from which he had ordered
the "wet goods" had made him a pres
ent of the remaining three gallons
The hearing was postponed until
yesterday afternoon and the men
gave bond for their appearance. Yes
terday afternoon Attorney D. E. Hen
derson represented the State while
the defendants were without counsel.
The two men told practically the same
story as that related when first placed
under arrest but 'Squire Street decided
that this was entirely too improbable
anc bound them over to the next term
Qf Craven county Superior Court, Lee
under a bond of two hundred dollars
anrj Taylor under a bond of one hun
. .
jred dollars. The defendants gave
bail in this amount and were released
from custody
Lee has been mixed up in previous
escapades in which whiskey played
an important part and the local police
have been keeping him under surveil-
ance for some time. The fact that he
is in oossession of a government li-
I cense to retail whiskey is known to them
and they carefully observe his move
ments on his freauent visits to New
Bern.
