NEW BERN’S LOSS BY FIRE IN 1922 OVER TWO MILLION Splendid Record of .Only $9,000 Made During First Eleven Months (Speetal t® Star) NEW BERN. Jan- 3.—New Bern’s fire ]oSg for the year just ended, given tremendous proportions bv the disas trous December 1 conflagration, totals 12,024,92$, according to Fire Chief James Bryan’s report to Staoey W. Wade, state insurance commissioner. For the first 1*1 months of the year the fire department had gone through with an unusually good showing, the total for that time amounting to approxi mately $9,000, Chief Bryan said. Be tween December 1 and 31, exclusive of the big fire, property damage amounted to around $15,000. The excellent showing of the fire de - partment for the first 11 months of the year Is apparent when the value of the paoperty at risk durjng the time was $327,105. Chief Bryan gives as his best estimate the statement that insurance aggregating $750,000 was carried on all property damaged during the year. In his report to the board of aldermen Chief Bryan has asked for the purchase of a hook and ladder service truck to be added to the fire department equip ment.

BLACK-DRAUGHT OVER 30 YEARS “Saved Me Many a Sick Spell,” Says Texas Farmer, Who Has Long Known Useful ness of Black-Draugt Naples, Texas.—"I have used Thed ford’s Black-Draught for years—I can safely say for more than 30 years,” declares Mr. H. H. Cromer, a substan tial, well-known farmer, residing out on Route 3 from liere. “I am 42 years old, and when a small boy I had indigestion and was puny and my folks gave me a liver, regulator. Then Black-Draught was advertised and' we heard of it. "I began to take Black-Draught, and have used it, when needed, ever since. I use Black-Draught now in my home, ahd -qertainly recommend it for any . liver trouble. “I have given it a thorough trial, and after, thirty years can say Black VDraught is my stand-by. It has ’'saved me many sick spells.” ‘ Mr. Cromer writes that he is “never out of Black-Draught,’ add says several of his neighbors prefer It to any other liver medicine. “I always recommend Black-Draught to my .friends,’ he adds. ; This valuable, old powdered liver medicine is prepared from medicinal roots and herbs, and has-none of the .bad effects so often observed frojn the ; use- of calomel, or; Other -powerful • mineral drugs. ' Black-Draught helps to keep the Vliver in trim, helping prevent or re lievo such troubles as constipation, -. biliousness, indigestion, sick headache. Be sure to get the genuine.—Adv. Members of Orioles of the Nineties to Attend Funefal of W. H. Keeler NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—Members of the famous Baltimore Orioles, of the nineties, men whose names have been carved indelibly in baseball’s hall of fame, will pay final tribute tomorrow to one of the most illustrious of their comrades— William H. (Wee Willie) Keeler, who died Monday at the age of fifty. Pall bearers at the funeral tomorrow in Brooklyn were expected to include John McGraw, manager of the world champion .Giants; Wilbert Robinson, manager of the Brooklyn Nationals; Kid 'Gleason, manager of the Chicago White Sox; Hugh Jennings former Detroit pilot and now assis tant to McGraw; Joe Kelly, scout for the Yankees.

Formal tributes to the former diamond star, one of the greatest scientific batsmen of all time were re ceived today from the Giants and Yankees and the Boston Nationals. To night ritual services were held by the Order of Elks, of4 which Keeler was a member. I Two Snappy Games ' Staged by Brigadiers The Business Boys’ league of the Boys’ brigade opened their second se ries last night with two corking good games, the Tigers nosing out a 24 to 18 victory over the Cardinal five, while the Yankees took the Dodgers’ meas ure, 34 to 13. In the first game between the Tigers and Cardinals, the former won by the close score of 24 to 18 in a well-played game. Both teams turned out a classy brand of ball and the final outcome remained in doubt until the last few minutes of play when Captain Schnib ben and L. Taylor won the game by caging the ball for several goals. The team work of both sides was splendid, but the Tigers were more accurate with their shooting. Captain Pinner and Taylor were the stars for the Car dinals. The second game of the double header between the Yankees hnd Dod gers was won by the former, 24 to 13. The first half of this game was as exciting as the first game, but the Yankees took a spurt in the second half, due largely to the excellent shooting of Louie Evans, that com pletely swept the Dodgers off their feet. Copeland and K. Corbett also played a fine game. For the losing Dodgers Yopp and Burriss played best.
