Newbern Business Men's Organisation endeavoring to Avert an Kxlra Levy Mad Necessary by the Cutting Off of the Revenue Front the Sale of ,' Liquor. Correspondence of The Observer. - - Newbern, Dec 15. The logical out com of the prohibition election of July ( was in evidence at the court nous last night, when two organlza tlons met In the same room, and inde- . pendent of each other,, to devise : means to prevent the levying of extra tax mad necessary by the abolition of th saloon tax. The chamber of commerce and the Retail Merchants' s Association were the organizations. Although the night was very stormy and disagreeable, there was a large . attendance, and the discussion was vry lively. Mr. J. J. Wolfenden pre- ' sided over the deliberations of the ..chamber of commerce, and Mr. John ' Dunn over the association. The ques tion Of meeting th necessary city ex penses without making an additional tax on the business Interests in the 1 way of doubly Increased licenses was the theme. A committee was appoint d out of the association to confer with the board of aldermen, and to make some arrangements for the pur gaese.of relief. While th object of the chamber of commerce largely was to discuss the license matter and other things grow ing eut of the liquor situation, their main business was to discuss the mat ter of deeper waterways. A few days ago, Mr. E. F. Tayloe, of Washtng- , ton, was In th city and met some members of the chamber. In which he presented the necessity of having bet ter channels through the various rivers and sound of eastern North Carolina. He also expressed the ad vantage ef an Inland water course to :vtaj th Norfolk water course or by another direction to have uninterrupt ed communication with Baltimore. Th chamber appointed a commit tee to consider this matter with the proper authorities. It Is believed In some quarters that an appropriation will be granted by Congress to make thts project a prac tical thing. ESCORT FOB THE GOVERNOR.

We have just been making soma new patterns for head shaft, hangers and head shaft, pillow blocks. These pat terns are of a design so far superior to anything that we have heretofore been able to. get from other makers that we are not only satisfied but pleased with the results of our efforts All our hangers are of very superior design. They are entirely new and we have put in them tha best features of what was already on the market, and have put In them also soma features which our long experience haa brought to our knowledge. We find that in designing new patterns our contract with the erection of machinery puts us in Doeltlon to introduce many new features. It is just aa easy to make the hanger so that shafting may be 'easily put up and taken down aa It Is 'to so design them as to make them difficult. We make all our bearings, :seir - oiung. This Is a valuable feature. Who could deny that it is better to put sufficient oil In a hollow base of a bearing to lost six month and then not be bothered about It again, than to have the old way of squirting oil on It every two or three hours and besides the trouble, generally having a mess also? By careful oiling of our bearings once in three to six months, according to the work, we get the very best results and wt never have a sloppy mess of oQ on th floor or on the machinery or on the cloth or whatever else we are making;.
