Rev. W. A. Cade moved that a com mittee on nomination be adopted. The following committee was appoint ed: J. G. Dunn, E. L. Mallard, and Rev. J. E. Reynolds. After being out a few minutes the committee returned with the following list of officers, H. W. Armstrong, President; T. G. Hyman Vice-President; J. G. Dunn, Secretary, and J. S. Miller, Treasurer.

Huske. Before the close of the meeting several other short talks were made by the gentlemen interested in the movement. It was previously thought that some drastic action relative to the observance of the recent ordinance relative to Sunday closing would be taken up by the league, but those who attended the meeting expecting to hear such, were disappointed, as the subject did not come up for any lengthy discussion.

Sloan's ;r-,i. ; IRON ORE ALSO FOtNTJ Government Chemist and Geolo gist Makes The Find Being Investigated New Bern has now a Law and Order League, a league which has as its prime object to assist the officials of the city in enforcing the ordinances of the city and to aid in whatever way possible to make New Bern a city where 'there is little or no law breaking. Seventy-five or one hundred citi zens met at the Court House last night for the purpose of organizing this league. S. M. Brinson called the meeting to order and stated its object .and a committee composed of T. G. Hyman, Chairman; Capt. Phillips, -J. G. Brinson, W. F. Aberly, and Rev. W. A. Cade, were appointed to retire and draw up a constitution for the .government of the league. While this committee was out sev eral gentlemen were called on to ex press their opinion as to the proposed league. Among these were S. H; Scott and A. T. Dill. Both gentlemen ex pressed themselves as being heartily in favor of the movement and offered any possible assistance. The opinion of Mayor A. H. Bangert "was also asked for. The Mayor stated that he was in favor of any movement which would assist in the enforece ment of the law and also stated that he would like to know just how many ithere were present who would promise to report all violations they saw and who would agree to appear before him as a witness against the violators. About forty persons stood up. The Mayor also stated that in his opinion the officers are at present doing every thing within their power to enforce the law. City Attorney R. A. Nunn stated that there are a number of prominent citizens who are not complying with the sanitary laws and he requested that as long as every law is to be rigidly en forced that these persons be made to comply with the ordinances mentioned. At this juncture the committee on framing a constitution returned and presented the following, which was adopted : Constitution of the New Bern Law and Order League.
