A bolt of lightning early Sunday
morning .completely ruined 46 of the
48 big light-globes of the city's new
White Way.
The lightning hit one of the lines
on this circuit and shot such a huge
voltage of electricity over the wire
that only two of the globes survived.
The others were rendered useless.
Superintendent Godfroy and two of
his men were kept busy for two hours
or more yesterday evening, putting
in new globes to repair th edamage,
Mr. Godfroy states that it is the first
time an accident of that kind had ever
happened so far as he knew.

Quite a number of New Bern cit
izens, and people from other parts of
the county, are contemplating attend
ing the Kinston fair, which opens to
morrow and which will continue for
four days.
Baloon ascensions daily, excellent
horse races, a big variety of midway
attractions and the finest display of
argricultural and live-stock exhibits
ever seen in a Lenior county fair will
feature the big event.
LONDON, Oct. 9. The Near East
situation continued to present disturb
ing potentialities today with the rev
olutionary Breek army at Adrianople
declaring it would not retire and with
the victorious Turkish army concen
trating at Brusa and Ismid, anxious to
reach Constantinople and protect the
Turks in Thrace.
The uneasiness was increased by the
fact that the allies are not generally
considered to have sufficient armed
forces to control either the Turks or
the Greeks.
While the British are using the ut
most patience to conclude peace, it is
believed the Greeks and French have
warned that if a settlement is
reached, the British will abandon the
whole peace effort. At the same time
the belief is that General Harrington
has orders not to risk any act of war,
and it appears from the tone of the
British press that no war with .the
Turks would receive popular backing.
