"The marriage suggested?"I asked.
Certainly, sir. 1t would be as bind

arrangement suggested by Mrs. Dimes

last Night.

More than 5000 baskets of peas,
grown In Elizabeth City and York
'counties, were shipped from Old

various steamship companies last
night. For the past three or four
days the shipping agents have been
kept busy handling the truck and the
farmers and truckers declare that the
pea crop this year Is proving the iarg-
est in some years.
1t is said that the shipment last
night was the biggest that has been
sent out from Old pint in several
years this early In the season and as
the DAYS grow warmer the shipments
will become larger
Most of the truck farmers are now
working large numbers OF negro men

indications are that the trucking
season will continue good from now
on. Next will come early potatoes
and then will follow the tomatoes
and other products of the trucking
farmers.

Chairman Booker Figures to
Save Hampton Money.
CALL MEETING EXPECTED
Financier Thinks the Problem VIII
be Best Solved by City Taking UP
the Psper-Jreasurer Patrick Gets
coed Share for Handling Fund.

City Treasurer Alonza A. Patrick Is
TO receive the sum of $i.074.i6 for
handling and disbursing the $2l,-
469. 20, which will be paid TO the city
by the Newport News & Old POINT
Railway & Electric Company for It's
share of the street paving. Mr.. Fat
rick receives per cent. OF all
moneys coming into the treasury ana
the fact that he is to receive tnis
amount from the special funds OF the
railway company was not anticipated
by the street committee OF the coun-
ell. when it was estimated the money
it would have to spend.
Mr.. Patrick, under the general laws,
received only two per cent Tor hand-
ling the bond issue of 100000, and III
that case his fees amounted TO $2,loo'
so with the additional fees from the
street railway funds it will be seen
that the treasurer will receive a total
of S3,124 in extra fees by reason OF
the street improvements here. MI.
Patrick has been treasurer for SIX
wears and this has been his first ex-
ira money from bond issaes.
Plans Note Sale.
Hunter X. Booker, chairman OF the
finance committee of the council, IS
working upon plan to sell the three
notes for s7,15642 each given the city
by the railway company. One OF the
notes Will be due September 10, 1910;
another Septer Is. 1911. and the third
September 10, 1912, and Mr.. Booker
figures that at six per cent the inter-
est on the second will amount TO
s5S24S, and on the third $1,073.34,
making a total interest the two notes
will bear of s1,5S4.32
Mr.. Booker is anxious to see the
city take up the two notes by using
the moneys in the bridge and sinking
funds. so those funds will bring to
the city the sum of per cent. De
Quoting the treasurer's fees from the
total interest the two notes would
bring to the city, Mr.. Booker finds
that the city would profit exactly $40
by taking up the notes.
