ADOPTION is LIKELY. a
Very Probable League Schedule Will
Stand Without Change.

From letter received by President
L. S. Peckham, Of the local association,
from President f. G. Norton, of the
league, it would appear as tho the pro-
posed schedule will be adopted as it
stands. Mr.. Norton has written that
Boone, F't Dodge and Burlington have
unofficially notified him that it was
favored in those three towns. A vote
on it, however, will not probably be
taken before early next week. Mr..
Norton also wrote that 1t would prob
ably not be difficult matter, provid-
ed Waterloo agreed, to exchange the
Memorial day games for this city, for
the Fourth. of July games scheduled
for Waterloo.

From the newspaper reports of the
findings of the supreme court in the
case from Keokuk, in which TAX
payer sought to recover for the city
on contract in which a member or
the city council was interested, the
decision Of the court appears to affect
certain cases that have been brought
in the district court in this city. In
the keokuk case the appellee sought
to recover, the same as in some OF
the actions brought by exCouncilman
John Sieg, of the Sixth ward, here
after the contract had been fulfilled.
The supreme court holds that unless
fraud can be shown no recovery can
be had after the contract has been
performed The court intimates that,
while in it's eXecutory status, the exc
cution of the contract could have been
restrained, after the contract has been
performed, and the city has realized

In commenting upon the action of
the council in this city in abolishing
the fee system, the Waterloo Repor-
ter comments editorially as follows:
"Marshalltown has abolished the fee
system for paying municipal salaries,
and hereafter all city officers will re-
ceive a fixed sum of pay, and all fees
collected by virtue. of their offices, will
be converted into the public treasury.
The plan has been followed by many
Iowa municipalities for a number Of
years, and always with results condu-
Give to better government than is pos
sible where a system of fees is de-
pended upon for remuneration. Wat
erloo adopted the idea a number of
years ago, and is fully satisfied that
the change is beneficial. MARSHALL
town will be influenced by the same
course Of reasoning when the system
has been in force sufficient length Of

ence upon which judgment can be

THANKS FOR THE PRIVILEGE.

We are glad to see hat the success
ened interest in the vegetable and
trucking business in the press of other
sections of the state. The Raleigh
News and Observer has at last awak-
ened to realization Of the fact that this
is a prosperous section Of the state and
that lands of New Hanover and adj
jacent counties are good for something
and that we have people here who
know how to farm and run truck gar
dens. Dur great resources and posi-
bilities in this line having been recog.
riZed and favOrably commented on by
this paper we may look for greater de-
mand for New Hanover land for vege-
table and fruit raising and we may be
excused for having heretofore had the
opinion that we were something in the
fruit and trucking line. 1t is refresh
ing and encouraging to our truck farm
ers to know that the seal of approval
hdS pCCh put upOil luclI cnOIIS ny ludt
paper. In fact, we ought all to con-
graduate ourselves and return thanks
that we have received the mod of rec
ignition and approval from this met
rOpOlitan organ. We henceforth-so
long as we can grow strawberries, n
ions and such like-will be recognized
as a part of the state of North Caro-
lima. We have n thing with which
we can console ourselves should this
recognition be withdrawn, and that is
that we got along mighty we'll before
we were granted this f1attering &C
acknowledgement of our forming a part
of the great state of North Carolina. It
is gratifying, though, to know that we
have not been entirely cast Off; that we
may still cling to our old landmarks
and claim to be a part of the state.
Thanks, Brother, for your admission
at this late day that something good
may come out of the Wilmington Sec
ton.

Unsuccessful Attempt at Suicide.

Baltimore, May 3.-George H. Horst,
shipping clerk in a brewry, fired two
bullets from a 32-calibre revolver into
his brain oon after zoo today. Short
ly after the arrival of the physician
who was called Horst regained ON
seriousness and coHversed intelligently
about his act, notwithstanding the
bullets had almost severed the frontal
portion Of the brain. The bullets en-
tered on the right side, and, upon be-
ing probed for, were located near the
frontal bone on the left. Horst asked
how long he had been unconscious and
expressed a wish that he had ended his
life. Ill health is the only cause
friends can assign for the act. AT a
late hour tonight there are no indica-
tons that Horst's wound will prove
fatal.

in factories, we see, is being threshed
over again in the press of this state.

given a rest until the next meeting of

our esteemed friend, Rev. Mr.. Nickel

TIE THREE-STATE PRESS CON-
VENTTON

That is a delightful programme
three-state press convention to convene
in Asheville July 9Th. This time and
place was chosen for the annual meet
ing of the North Carolina Press AssO-
citation. Some one conceived the happy
thought of inviting the Virginia asso-
citation to met with the Tar Heel pen
Gil pushers. The suggestion was nc
sooner made than acted upon. The
idea spread like the measles in a kim
dergarten school and was received by
the Virginia editors with the r
h~eartiness as it met among the North
Carolina newspaper men. Then some
n said why not also have with us
the editors to the south of this narrow
strip of land which lies between the two
states, and forthwith the idea was
taken up and this invitation was ex-
tended. 1t was accepted with the same
cordially as was the one rendered our
Virginia friends.
So it is decided that the newspaper
men from the two Carolinas and Vir-
ginia shall meet IN Asheville in social
and business conclave in July.
Now comes another pleasing feature
of this joint convention. Greensboro
m to the front with an invitation
to all the editors of the three states
who will attend this meeting to as
semble in that city on the Fourth of
July and participate in the Guilfcrd
Battle Ground celebration on That
day. President Warner, of the North
Carolina Association, says he sees no
reason why his cannot be done and
he has already set about making ar
rangements for this very enjoyable
feature of the three-state press meet
ing.
We rejoice to know that there arr
prospects of the friendly commingling
in joint ~assemblage of the editors of
these three states at the annual con-
ventiOn of our state press associate N.
1t is a still further source of graft
fication to us to know that this fra
ternal commingling of the editors OF
the three states is the aftermath ard
the closing of some rather sharp edito-
rial pickering between the newspaper
men Of North Carolina and Virginia
over certain recent events regarding
an affair which occurred on Virginia
soil in which North Carolinians were
the chief actors. At the time of the
unwilling of the Carolina monument at
Appomattox and just previous thereto
there was some rather sharp newspaper
comment. The Ratchet was soon buried
and both sides are now as good friends
as ever. 1t was rather remarkable
though, but at the same time a graf
Tying evidence of the good will and mu-
tual esteem Of the people of the ty)
states that this friendly meeting Of
their editors should have grown OUT
of this little temporary misunderstand-
ing.
The presence of the South Carolina
editors will add all the more to the
pleasure of this reunion. We hope the
attendance will be large from both
our two sister states. Thus early we
bid them welcome and assure them OF
good old North Carolina hospitality.
