TWO L. $. COMMISSIONERS
IN ELIZABETH CITY NOW

In the mention Of the appointment
Of y. ". DALEY as t. :. Commits
sioner in Elizabeth City last week,
il was stated by error that Mr.
Dailcv succeeds r. B. Wilson. AS Il
matter Of fact. Mr.. Wilson's term
does not expire until 1927. The
statement was made in good faith
by this newspaper, since Elizabeth
City usually doesn't have but one
r. :. Commissioner. althO 1t Is the
practice in many sections for the
Federal Judge to name as many
Commissioners as may he needed.
I'm this instance. two commissions
ers i'm Elizabeth City will mean that
one will he available for service
at any time the other might be i'll,
or unavoidably absent from twon
when n hearing is desired. Judge
MeekinS. who appointed Mr.. Daily,
states that he had no intention Of
removing Mr.. Wilson. Under the
circumstances, it might have ap-
ared to some. that the Judge was
using his office for political pur-
poses. This correct statement of
the facts should remove any ap-
preheusiOm in that direction.

occupants, when there are 81
teachers now and when the
needs of the schools are grow
ing rapidly. should be looked
into, Likewise the haste to
proceed, and the apparent ten
dency to keep the public in the
dark about the plans of the

Approached by representative
of this newspaper yesterday W. ii.

said that he could not give out any
information concerning the teach

been discussed somewhat. and at
present there are no fund available
for the construction of the build

nings didn't say that anyone told
him il wasn't his place to give out
public information. but Mr.. Jen-
nings knew what had been done.
As a matter Of fact the school
hoard decided against only two dis
senting, votes more than IL week
ago to build the teacheragc. The

sketch submitted by Benton Il Ben

and ordered the architects to 20

applied on the bond issue.
The school board proposes to
erect nine bedroom teacherage

A POOR SEASON
FOR FISHERMEN
Premature End of Season, May
Demand Investigation of
Declining Industry
BY ID. Y. MEEKINS

The early end Of what IS
pronounced by. experienced
fishermen. to be the poorest
season in many years, points
to the urgent need OF drastic
and intelligent investigation
OF the fishing industry III North
Carolina. Many fishermen
thruout Northeastern North
Carolina have taken their nets
from the water Il week to ten
DAYS earlier than usual, and
have given UP hope OF paying
out.
In certain sections. some of the
fisherman have made money. but
generally speaking, fishing this sea-
son was poorer than last year. one
wclI.informcd fisherman estimates
that the catch in this section is not
more than G5 per cent of the catch
for the same period of 1921.
Not even at Stumpy Point. where
fishermen usually enjoy the great
est prosperity, have catches been
so good this year. Only lew
stands made big money. 1t nap
pened that a few fishermen went
down TO Sandy Point, in Pamllco
Sound, and set their pound nets III
stands that had been abandoned
long ago. Oddly enough, the run or
fish was good at this point, ana the
few nets there made money.
The run of Shad was only ordl-
nary during the month of February.
but prices were fairly good. and
this helped gill net fishermen.
po,iSd net fishermen didn't get
their nets in until later, the shad
dropDed off several weeks ago. and
there have been only insignificant
catches of smaller varieties. such
as rock. crMkers. trout, founders,
