Dear air: What people living In a town as congested a* la Washington want to keep goats, cows, dogs, cats, and oth er animal* for. Is more than I can see. The cows keep folks awake by their trampling and lowing, and those that are owned by people on the edge of town have bells around their necks and these can be heard all night long. Dogs can be expect ed to howl and bark Just as soon as ons gets settled In bed and the cats are as bad. The goats can't be kspt In the yards of their owners and they art a nuisance generally. It Is bad eapngh for the people to : II rs so cloie together, but some ffj them ere apparently not satisfied ^ with this and have to drag In a lot of animals which benefit no one sad are a nuisance to practically ever one Ltt the neighborhood In Which tfiny are kept.

He orged today the establishment throughout Prance of official matrimonial bu reaus' under the direction of .Uayote of cities, towns and villages. He said: "Many young men are willing to marry moneyless girts, and many young girls are willing to marry pool er mutilated men, hut the marriages do not occur because the men and ?lrte do not meet Special registers should be kept at all Mayers' offices Where eligible young people oan sign their name and glv6- their age and pfofemlon so that any one desiring to marry can And, a lief companion j?rttbWt difficulty. 'Since we agree today that the pre servation of the race is the greatest and most sacred duty, it is neces sary to give all 'help to those inclin ed to build new homes." An extension of legal delays before remarriage for w'dows of soldiers is being considered in order to avoid further cases of Involuntary bigamy. Borne legal circles advocate an ex tension of the lagal delayB until after the war for wives of mobollzed sol diers.

In the case of bachelors such official errors are not | of much consequence, and as regards ' married prisoners, in most rases their j wives remained unmarried. But some cases have occurred where wives i have remarried nnd medalled, decor-' atod. amputated or maimed husbands have turned up. Charles Legoffle, author of the well known account of the Dlxmude fighting, today calls. attention lo the case of a glorious Prench prisoner who returned maimed and ..utterly disfigured, and who, out of a senti ment of dollcacy to avoid a meeting i with his family, refuses to disclose his Identity and repeats.

The coast gqard cutter Pamlico returned yes terday from near the innoth of Adanis Creek, where it was called to give assistance of the two mast schooner Susan E. Porter, which was stranded a short distance this side of the mouth of the Beaufort canal. The ship, which was headed for northern market* from Morehead City with a cargo of lumber, was grounded just after leaving the ca nal. The efforts of the crew to get ! h*r off were of no avail and the Pam | llco went to hpr assistance. After pulling her off the shoal, the cutter towed her to deep water. On the way down the river, the Pamlico found a large barge headed for Now Bern, grounded about three miles from the city. This craft was easily floated. GERMANY ORDERS BULGARIA .

I VafaTrackB Qf Land In Beaufort County Remain Uncultivated (II) W. O. KI.UH) Little la known of the great re sources of. Beaufort county, except ing by a small percentage of It* pop ulation. The vast majority of thoee living in the county do not even know what a great future the county has before It. Generally It Is known that the c<*\inty is poorly developed, there being such vaat areas of wood land, and much of it being swamp land. Go back with me only a few year* and compare the locality around Terra Cela with what It is today. You would hear the South Creek sec tion spoken of as a great farming section, with Its fertile soil and abun dant yields of corn and cotton, and Indeed It waa, and it Ib a great farm ing sect ion- today. Now there in be ing developed an equally productive section on the north side of the Pam lico river, in the neighborhood of Terra Celnr where once there was only a swamp. There Is Being de veloped thousands of acres of land equally as productive as the South Creek section. other sections of the county are equalft bleBsed; not with the rich swamp land, where an abundance of corn and cotton cm be. produced without fertilization, but with thousands of acres of splendid high land, underlaid with a beatrti ful yellow clay foundation and with a light gray soil, where the beautiful bright leaf tobacco can be produced In abundance. Lying south of the Pamlico river, from the border of the fertile South Creek swamp to the western line of Beaufort county, Ib a belt of high | land, much of which in some sections has been cleared and is producing fine crops of tobacco, which anyone, at this time, would be glad to pos sess. And yet there are many thous ands of acres yet virgin and unturned and untold resource# we have In this unimproved section, to which some thought is now being given. Just here I might mention a par lcular locality where there* *r?r thous and 8 of acreB of the very beat .to bacco laud In North Carolina. In which there hss never been a plow entered. West o' Chocowlnlty swamp land e.ist of the road lendlne from Washington to New Bern, there is a I belt of latyl with a very pniall per centage of it clearcd. It is su Alt Mat ed as to be eusily drained and Ik un- , derlaid xvlth just the loam to pro- j duce the finest type of bright tobac co. Ii has a enort clay foundation and In land which will produce a icood 1 yield of :?ny crop. It is conveniently situated at to public road facllltien and is within reasonable distance of Washington. where we expect to see | within the next few years one of the largest tobacco markets In eastern North Carolina. This land can now | be bought at a very low prtce. con- 1 sldering its worth and location. BIG CROPS RAISED IN HYDE COUNrY 6. W. Swindell, of Fairfield, Hyde rour.tyk was In the city this week and stated to fj :onds here that crops In Hyde county this year are the best he hus ever seen above the ground. "Hyde harvested the biggest oat crop In the history of the county." declared Mr. Swindell. "The yield was from 25 to fto bushels, with an average of 60 bushels. I wan raised iu the county and have seen Rood crops before but nothing that came up to this year's production." 81' BSC R J HE TO THE DAILY NICW8 WOMEN OF WAft-DESOLATED MONTENEGRO A ?roip of nan <rf lh? llttl* klu(dua of Moti!fn<-*R>. th?lr quint n.tloml counm.

In this particular section, above | mentioned, the farms are very small . and widely separated.

The belt of land belonging to local parties is some- I thing like seven miles in length, varying from one-half to three miles in width and 1 am quite' certain that it could be brought in one block, suitable for small or large farms, as they have recently had the timber removed. It would be easy to clear land convert it Into excellant farms. The writer of this article, however, is not trying to sell land for them, but Is Interested merely In the de velopment of this section of the county, as he owns quite a bit of land adjoining the tract mentioned and feels an Interest in the development of the community, a* well as in the upbuilding of the county In which he lives. ?4?anfort county is indeed rich in resources when we understand that she hus within her borders more un cleared land that will produce bright tobucco than any other county in the State.
