Baltimore Concern Wants to Place
Them But Require
ments Are Too
Many
WANT FINANCING FOR
TWELVE MONTHS OR MORE
Also Want to Purchase Farms
Fully Equipped On
Long Time
Terms
George Green, secretary of the New
Bern Chamber of Commerce, has re
ceived from the Southern Settlement
& Development Organization of Bal
timore, Md., a letter in which they
state that they will be glad to bring
Belgians to this country and locate
them providing the Chamber of Com
merce will guarantee certain things.
Among these are the following: (1)
Guarantee lands to be sold to them
on long terms at low rates of interest
and considerable time before first pay
ment. (2) See that a comfortable
house with necessary outbuildings are
furnished. (3) Finance the settlers
until they are in a position to take
care of themselves. (4) Buy their
fertilizer and other necessities until
they can secure crops and pay for
them. There are a number of other
requirements which are similar to the
above. The letter was turned over
to President Charles L. Ives for his
attention and was to have been
brought before the Belgian Relief
Committee at a meeting held Thurs
day night, but for various reasons this
was not done. The requirements are
so many that it is not probable that
any of the Belgians will be brought
to this section. The land owners
would not. mind allowing them time
in which to pay for their land, but
the Chamber of Commerce or busi
ness men cannot see their way clear
to finance them for several months and
for this reason the Baltimore concern
probably will be informed that none
of the immigrants can be handled
right in this section.
THE WEATHER.
The weather forecast for
New Bern and vicinity today
is fair with continued cold
wave. Fresh west to north
west winds.
The First Snow
Visits New
Bern
CAME YESTERDAY MORNING
BUT, DID NOT COVER
THE GROUND
The first snow of the season fell
in New Bern yesterday. The fleecy
flakes made their initial appearance
ebtween the hours of 7 and 8 o'clock,
and up until late in the afternoon
they fell at intervals. At no time,
however, was the downfall heavy,
and the ground was not covered in
any place. '
Reports from other places in North
Carplina tell of snow- falling during
the day. At Raleigh there was a
fall of about three inches.- At Kins-
ton there .was about an inch. At
Farmville and other points in that
section there was a downfall of ''the
beautiful."
Reports from Winston-Salem and
surrounding1 sections were to the ef
fect that the downfall there was very
heavy. , ' .

ONE OF DIRECTORS.
Trinity Alumni's Banquet
Of The Features Of
Yesterdays
Session.
On
Washington, N. C, Nov. 20. Th. '
conference endorsed the Methodist
Mutual Fire Insurance Company that
was endorsed by the Western Con
ference. The warmest discussion of
the conference was called forth by
this endorsement.
The following were elected director-,
of company: C. S. Wallace, N. H. D.
Wilson, Jno. C. Wooten, L. S. Coving
ten, W. B. Cooper.
Dr. Harding addressed conference
on representative church at Washing
ton. The matter was referred to con
ference board on church extension. Thp .
bishop received the class into full con
nection. The banquet of Trinity Alumni w
held this afternoon with James II.
Southgate presiding as toast master.
The anniversary of the Board of
Education was held this afternoon
with an address by Dr. Parker, or
Trinity College.
A slight flurry of snow this morn
ing cleared the clouds away and
good weather is promised for the rest
of the conference.
The opening session was devoted
to a song and testimony meeting. A
telegram of greeting was read from
Bishop Kilgo. At his request-JI. M.
Jackson was located.
C. C. Brothers, was referred to
committee on confercm-p. Eligible
l to elder's orders J. Orinond, L. D
llayman. C. J. Harrell. B. T. Hur-
ley, (i. M. Daniel and K. V. Duvail
The following local preachers were
elected to deacon's orders- P. E.
Myall, M. B. Andrews and H. I.
I,
Glass.
j G. K. Andrews, a local preacher.
; was elected to elder's orders.
L. B. Pattishall, of New Bern, dis
( triet was adimitted on trial.
Dr. S. B. Turrenline, president or
Greensboro women's College, pre-
sented the cause of the college to the
conference.
The event of Thursday evening at
the North Carolina Methodist Con
ference was the anniversary of the
board of church extension. The ad
dress was made by Dr. T. N. Ivey.
of Nasheville, Tenn., editor of the Nas
hville Christian Advocate. Dr. Ivey
always has something well worth say
ing. There were no meetings during th
afternoon, the time being taken ir
with the meetings of boards and
committees. The bishop and h";
cabinet of presiding elders have been
kept busy in cabinet meetings. Thurs
day afternoon the cabinet was reliev
ed of meeting, but met with the Bi
shop Thursday evening at 7:30. Deep
interest of course, is . felt in what
goes on behind the closed doors of
the cabinet, as it is there that the
marching orders for another year aro
made out for every member of the
conference.
The work of the conference seem
to be moving with dispatch under
the smooth and gracious presiding
hand of - Bishop Waterhouse. The
session has been an unusually har-N
monious one so far and the business
at the close of the second day's ses
sion was well in-hand.
Probably tne most interesting fea
ture of Thursday's session was the re
election of Rev. L. S. Massey, editor
of the Raleigh Christian Advocate.
A number of minute questions were .
called and a promising company of '
young men were admitted on trial.
The Reception of the fass into full
cpnnection wad made a special' 'ordttr
for 1 1 o'clock today. . . . , ,
The only social feature in connec
tion with the conference was the an
nual banquet of the Trinity. Alur.ini
Association. This was , hehf t'v'i
afternoon at' 5 o'cldok in the Elt
Hall, and was in charge of tho Viri
on's Civic League. . . .Tbejibit''E
