The New Bern Sun-Journal, in giving an account of a child's body being found by a dog in that eity the otlnr day, state* that th^ inci dent "is one of the sole topics of conversation all over the eity." We rise to inquire what the other sole topiea are. General Scott i? on his way to the border, which fact undoubtedly causes Villa to hope that he will pet off Soott-free. News dispatcher in yesterday's papers -tated that the threatened rupture in parliament had l?een averted. In other words, \v4 suppose that the break in the cabinet ha- bceu upholstered. Som men kill them>eJve* Ixxrause a girl reject* them and others feel like killing themselves after they've been married a year or two. 'Tis in fact a strange world. "The last note can hardly have a musical ring in it to Germany," comments the News and Observer. That's so, it was almost too sharp for that. WAR WITH GERMANY. In spite of the alarming note that war with Germany suggests t> most people ot* the United State?, it i* doubtful whether a declara tion of war between this country and the Germans would amount to any great eonfliet. It is certain that about all that American citi zens would know about any war would be the account? of it that they read in the newspapers. One thing is sure: Germany can't come over here to fight us. Her fleet is bottled up with the exeiption ot* a few raiders, which could soon be disposed of. If then* is to U* any fighting done between the two countries, the United Stuto will have to take the offensive. In this, naturally, we have ail I flic advantage in the world. What course America would pursue in the warfare is problematical. We would probably turn out u larger amount of ammunition with which to supply England ami France and the greater part of our fleet would also probably be sent over to give assistance. Otherwise we cotlld not do much at the -tart. With our present small army an'l with existing condition* in Mexico, it would not be advisable to send any of our army to help the Hritish and the French. However, the declaration of war would nnd? ubte?llv cause thousands of enlistment and we would in a short time be equipped to help the allied armie if called upon to do so. Therefore. while war with Germany may sound somewhat start ling, the odds are that it could not amount to very much. Gormair is growing desperate and one or two more nations against her won't make much difference. Verdun has a!*>ut settled her fate and th<" German government knows it. For tlii- reason, the entry of th> T"niterl States in the war w? uld probably r?l< n-?- them, as thev could then lay down arms and make the claim that "it took the whole world to lick thorn.*' letting opportunity si.ir by. The Rocky Mount Telegram, in :i r cent editorial, stated some fac. regarding Elizabeth City. Edcntun. >?ew Hern mid Washington which, although they may hurt, are strictly true. And it is because they an true that thiy hurt. The (ditorial we n fer to rends as follows: Just al?out tlir funiM??t thing ever. i? the admonish ing the New Bern Sun-Journal iditor p ves Wilmington for losing one of its l*?at lin?** and the planned curtail ment of the service of another. Really it appears to us that of all the ports in ihe State and in this we refer to Elizabeth City, Edenton. Washington and New Bern as well as Wilmington. it apfx?ars to us that Wilmington is the only one that ha-n't hidden its tabnt. iu the napkin. Washington and New Hern were years ago calling points for the- big linev and if they might have held even that which they bad they would have been vastly gerater ports than they are right now. and the thousands saved in freight rates to North Carolina each year would have mounted intA the uiilli<ns and the State would have been greater and grander for all of that. There is no question but that wr have negbeted our waterway pos sibilities in a shameful manner. Washington today ought to l>e a groat a port as Wilmington and l!ie ofilv reason we are not is hecaus' the people of Wilmington jumped at the chance when it was offered them and we let it pas* bv without a murmur. However, we still hope to see the day when Waahington will U* recognized as Xortlr Carolina's loading port, and when we will have vessel* loading an'l unloading at our docks daily. It will rake work?and bard work too. but we are advancing rapidly along other lines and in time we are bound to turn our attention to our waterway. HOW TO MAKE A MILLION. If anyone wants to make a million dollars there are plenty of way* to do it. Here are a few fuiggestions submitted at an ad men's ban quet by the director of an eastern advertising agency: The.first and most obvious "hunch" is to invent a new automobile fuel cheaper than gasoline. There might even be a billion in that. " "?'Wfe second is to invent a puncture-proof and anti-skid tire. And although the speaker failed to mention it, there are certainly millions waiting for the man who will invent a substitute for rubber. If none of these suggestions appeal to the would-be millionaire, he might try making a non-leakable fountain pen. Or else a shoe that fastens with a couple of snaps instead of laces or buttons. Or else a quickly adjustable corset that doesn't need lacing. Or a moth-proof wardrobe for summer homes. Or an automatic rug-heater, or a window screen that rolls up like a window shade, or a non-buttoning and rton-choking men's collar. Take your choice?they're all simple and apparently fcmiiA prop ositi?* V- j ."?..iBtiii- A .'J.1'/~Jt.it. . v* 1 An I deal Rem For Nui Constipation is a condition that, affects the old, young # and mlddle ?fed. and nrtfst people* at one time or another need help In regulatfag the ectlon of the bowels.
