It is quite possible to make New
Bern flyless and mosqultolesa, and
we predict that this will be done
-within a surprisingly few years. ' ;
Col. Wade Harris, of the Charlotte
Observer, who cites his great age as
a reason why we kids should re
spect his opinion that "Newbern" is
the correct spelling, after all might
Tiave come over with the original
Palatines, and in that case he cer
tainly ought to know.
New Bern believers in stringent
Sunday observance laws may be
thankful they do not live in an Ohio
town now wrought up to red heat on
whether movie3 shall be permitted
on the Sabbath. The moving pic
ture party in that town claims that
Sunday is the only day workingmen
have to enjoy such pleasures at their
leisure.
We have several times deplored
the thousand-dollar entrance fee as
sessed for the second Congressional
primary, at the same time pointing
out that the district committee was
simply making sure that all ex
penses would be covered and that
the poll holders would receive some
recompense for their day's work. The
Wilmington Dispatch sees in the sit
uation an argument for a. legalized
primary, and comments as follows:
"We don't know but what the finan
cial status of Messrs. Hood and
Thomas, over in the Third district,
can each stand a thousand dollars in
order to enter the primary for the
democratic nomination for Congress.
' But suppose neither can afford it and
can't raise the amount? Verily, what
- then? Would, as a Democrat, either
-or both be barred from running, or
would they be' forced to run in the
election? These are some pretty iri
ntercstiDg questions, it appears to us.
We trust, however, they will not pre
sent themselves this time, and time
after next there is going to be a le
galized primary, when all the people
and not the candidates will bear the
expense."
Though Editor G. A. Jones of the
Snow Hill Square Deal, as somebody
said about Hobson, may go steaming
down the wrong track occasionally,
his boosting, when he indulges in
that exercise, is as unrestrained as
his knocking. A recent issue of his
paper shows that he has just re
turned from Morehead City and
loudly does he sing the praises of the
sea food, the ocean breezes, the surf
bathing, the fishing, and all the rest
of the delights. We judge from the
many references in the article that
Editor Jones stayed at the Atlantic
hotei and thinks that it is all to the
good in fact, he says so in no un
certain terms. We are glad to see
that he makes the health conditions
the subject of a paragraph as fol
lows: "The health and sanitary sur
roundings of the hotel have never
been better. In fact a special com
mlttee from the North Carolina
Board of Health has reported this
hotel to be free from any contagion
and to have the most modern and
-sanitary equipments." AH of which
we heartily second. Morehead City,
one of the traditional Southern re
ports, had such an injustice inflicted
on It not long ago by newspaper pub
licity an Injustice in which The
Sun did not share and which we im
mediately took pains to off-set by
giving 'publicity to the , true facts
that we are inclined to think the re-
vort, especially its leading hotel, is
, -'deserving of a little free advertising
lfrom.the press. .

CONGRATULATIONS again.
Some Weeks ago we recognized the
Hon. George E. Hood as Democratic
nominee for Congress from this dla-
. trict, praised him for Ma very a.

ability, and predicted for him a bril-

correspondents and others must ne
cessarily be taken care of.
Attorney Fernand Laborl, repre
senting Mme. Caillaux, and assisted
very quietly by the accused woman's
husband, is said to be planning a
surprise for the prosecution. It is
said he may try to prove that Cal-
mette died, not directly as the result
of his bullet wounds but because of
useless delay on the part of attend
ing surgeons to operate. Had they
done so, according to experts said to
have been summoned, Calmette
would be alive today and would have
been up and about ten days after the
shooting. It Is known that the
"brain storm" plea will be entered
by the noted attorney in defense of
his client. A bitter fight will be
made to save the beautiful woman
from imprisonment for the crime
which she says she was driven to
commit by the bitter attacks that
had been made upon her husband
Mme. Caillaux had said that she did
not go to Calmette's office with the
intention of killing him, bet desired
merely to frighten him and "teach
him a lesson."
Mme. Caillaux shot Calmette in
the latter's office, at the "Figaro,"
March 16, after the editor tiad
printed, as a culmination of a bitter
campaign against Joseph Caillaux, a
letter of a personal nature said by
some to have been written by Cail
laux to his present wife while she
was the wife of another. This, bow
ever, has been denied. In any event
the letter was : fromv Caillaux to
lady and there were - rumors that
two or three other letters from Cail
laux to the woman now bearing his
name, were to be printed by "Le
Figaro." ::' ---:--i?--: V.-;-
Mme. Caillaux wished to get pos
session of these letters. She decided
to visit the "Figaro" offices. An au
tomatic revolver ; was concealed in
her muff. Soon after she was ad
mitted to Calmette's office six shots
rang out. ; The editor r was found
casDinK in nu chair, four nuuet
wounds in his body. Mme. Caillaax
still held the revolver in her hand
She was calm and cool,' quietly sub
mitted to arrest and was imprison.

Grneeiome Find Bears Oat Story Told
by The Arkansas Mine "
.'f : ' ' Goards.'-'
Fort Smith, Ark.; July zO.
Charred fragments of the bodies of
two men, found in the ruins of a log
cabin, and reports of the destruction
of the surface workings of another
mine owned by the Bache-Denman
Coal Company, were yesterday's de
velopments in the conflict between
strikers and non-union coal miners
and oter company employees in the
Hartnard valley coal neiaa.
The discovery of parts, of two
skulls and human bones, raked from
among the embers of the log cabin.
explains, it is believed, the failure of
J. W. Sylesberry and John Baskin,
mine guards, to report after Friday's
battle at Prairie Creek, and tends to
confirm the statement sworn to bj
Sam C. Thomas, a company employe,
who declares", he witnessed the ex
ecution of Sylesberry and Baskin. Ac-
cording to Thomas, he and six othei
men were iaken prisoners after tat
six-hour battle at Prairie Creek, and
escorted to a hut at the head of a
gulch on Sugar Loaf mountain
About ten feet from the hut, Thomas,
declares, a man opened fire with k
rifle, killed Sylesberry and Baskit
and attempted to kill Thomas, bui
other members of the party interfer
ed. ''U'i - '
The five other captives then were
set at liberty, according to Thomas
narrative, and it' is alleged the bod
ies were then placed in the cabin and
the torch applied. En route to Hunt
ington, he declared, the party was
fired upon, . but none wounded.
Conflicting reports last night ol
the finding of the bodies is explained
by the fact that in their first survey
of the cabin, the posset headed by
Paul Little, sheriff of Sebastian
county, made no discoveries. - Later,
however, when a more careful ex
amination of the ruins was made,
fragments of the bodies were found.
The evidence was taken to Green
wood, the county seat, where the
grand Jury tomorrow will begin an
investigation.
At the request of Mf. Little, war
rants were issued last night for the
arrest of a number of men alleged
to have taken part in an attack on
the Prairie Creek mines, when the
tipple and other parts of the plant
were dynamited and burned. - The
warrants charge murder. , The mine
attacked last night was known as
the Dallas mine, several miles from
the Prairie Creek. It was not in
operation, and was not under guard.
Two arrests were made yesterday
on bench warrants issued by Judge
Frank A. Youmans, of the Tinned
States District Court. . '
Th warrants alien violation Of
be-JUn .injunction issued several months
ago, restraining members-: 'Of ; the
United Mine Workers and tneir sym
jppathizers from Interfering with , the
operation of the mines on an open

settlements last night Indicate that
conditions are quiet.
