Solution of the Problem of Poverty. iVe have in the past alluded to the advantages of having alms distributed through organizations that will look into the merits of applicants and thus reduce to a minimum the risk of having the charitably- inclined imposed upon by those who could by proper effort supply their own wants. This is a strong reason yvhy all our citizens should heartily co operate with the Ladies' Benevolent , ."society, in its prosecution ot work along this line. The German people who are among the foremost in education, also have a very thorough and effective method of doing this kind of work. The German system of poor-relict known as "the Elbeifeld system" is accepted by many of our greatest economists as the most satisfac tory system that has ever been devised. It is in operation in at least thirty-six German towns uid cities, where its practical workings are described in the December numler of the Forum by Prof Francis G. Peabody. who made for the Koium a personal examination of it on the spot. The leading facts about this interesting system are that the superintendent if this body n large number of visitors ot - thl" ill,,ir are sclectd to serve without payment: and among these also are many of the best citizens of the tow n. Then the town or ci t v is divided into small sections, a block or two being a section, and in each section there is a man whose duty it is to know personally the condi tion of every poor resident and in case of want to make a personal investigation ti,;, ,.i invti;.imn rort,l relief m case of dire need; and then the cae '3 reported in all its details to a still larger committee, and whatever is deemed advisable is done in each case sometimes the man is given work, sometimes he is sent to an institution; but iu everv case Professor Peabody sums up the result of this system by saying that in Dresden, ith 200,000 inhabitants, the superintend deuce is so thorough that a case of I critical want is unknown and un-elief is ; impossible, and that beggary has become a crime, which is practised only by stealth. Paupers half-clad in rags suffer ing in the w inter weather are not to be seen in the that everv city at all. case of It is snrp too. -iitP w-mt is relieved.

C, preached the anni versary sermon on the subject "Presby terianistn and its Future". The Norfolk Ledger says that in the history of the churches, as read by Rev. Mr. McCIuer, occurred the announcement of Rev. Mr. C".i."land i father of the President-elect ol the United Statos.) ai one of the former pastors of the Presby terian church in Portsmouth. It is said that a resident of Portsmonth, who was in Rev. Mr. Cleveland's class in the Sunday School of that church, has a Bible pre sented to him by that gentleman. Crushed io Death. Moses Conner, a colored carpenter em ployed regularly at the mill of the Clarke Lumber Company, was killed yesterday morning by being caught between a loaded truck and a post. The accident happened thus: ThejtruckS after being loaded with the lumber from the saw mill are run down a track into the kiln. The space between the trucks in the kiln is scant barely sufficient to enable a small man to stand between them. Moreover there are posts nt inter vals in this space. Conner was standing between two of these posts w?th a truck on one side and another coming. If he had stood still he would have been safe, but he would have been imprisoned be tween the posts and trucks until r f the latter was moved. Con-"f.-iiH.ut!y he attempted to pass by one of the posts to get on the outside. The truck was so near that before he could pass it .vas upon him and his life was crusued out as stated. Conner was a married man nearly fifty years of age and is spoken of both as a good man and a good workman. A .NEGRO FIEXD. Commits a Hellesh Crime at Polkton. Wilmesgtok, N. C, Nov. 29. This morning a horrible rape was perpetrated upon the person of a three year old child, the daughter ot R. F. Henly, living three miles from Polkton in this state, by Marshall Davis, a negro boy 19 years old and employee of Mr. Hendly. He was kindling a fire in the Hendly bed-room and th child was playing around him when he suddenly seized her and accomplished the hellesh deed. This is the second case of rape which has occurred in that neighborhood with in the last six months, both victims be white children under five years of age. Davis was arrested and brought to trial. He submitted and acknowledged his crime and described in detail the horrible deed. He was sent to Wadesboro to be placed in jail to save his neck from im mediate stretching. STOCK RAISING. Mr. W. L Kennedy, of this county, has recently engaged in raising fine horses, and Mr. W. B. Isler, of Jones county, has for years been raising his own horses, w hich are superior to the imported article and is now engaged in raising a few for sale. This is an industry that many of our farmers could engage in with profit. Kinston Free Press. It gives us pleasure to see such items as the above. Why is there not more stock raised. A trip to the tarm of Messrs. Hackburn & Willett, and a look at their hundreds of pure bred and grade cattle, ought to convince any one that the South is a splendid - field for this industry. Another convincing proof is to come to our Fair and view the splendid stock of every kind, raised by progressive farmers of the community. Thosj leading the way in stock raising are deserving of great honor and of wide-spread imitation. Methodist Conference.

Perfectly Practicable and'an Enterprise That Would be Attended With Mighty Results. The convention in the interest of the Nicaragua Canal was opened in New Orleans in the Odd Fellows' Htll by President Odendahl, of the board of trade. Distinguished representatives of every State in the Union were present. This convention is the sequel of a form er similar gathering at St. Louis, held in June last, and which had its origin with the merchants of the Pacific. For nearly half a centurv the United States Govern ment has been engaged in surveys of routes for a eanal connecting the two oceans. Of all the routes suggested and surveyed an invariable preference has been shown by the Army engineers for the Nicaraguan route, of whose absolute feasibility no serious doubt has been at any time expressed. There seems to be no question v that ultimately the canal will be ' -Tit and the discussions before the convention will simply resolve themselves iuto an attempted settlement of the question as to who shall build the great ditch and who shall control it once it has been constructed. The entire length of the canal from ocean to ocean is precisely 169 miles, ot which distance it is only necessary to ex cavate and construct 28 miles of canal. Lake Nicaragua tills a cavity if the midst of agbroken chain of mountains, furnishes a safe harbor sufficient in capacity for all the ships of the world, and inexhaustible, in supplies of water for lockage. It is 110 miles long, 30 miles wide, and has a maximum depth of 250 feet. The cost of the canal has been care fully estimated by the consulting engi n er of the company, and a board of con sulting engineers has revised his compu tation. Including payment of all inter ests during the progress of the work it is calculated that $100,000,000 will cover the entire cost of the project, ana mat a reasonable es imate of the time for the I completion is nve years. impletion is nve years. The company has expended up to date about $6.0.0.0'I0 and the work done show the sufiiciencv of the estimates for , the pric-- o' timber in ' ouicaen the mining and timber in the Northwest, fisheries indus tries, open i'. snort route tor ooutnern cot ton to Jap;:". :ncrease population, enable the Uuited states to compete with Europe in the coal and other trade of South America, and tha the tolls may be so i . ... i . ci. moderated as to yieiu a uanesome prout on the investment, and yet fall lightly on the shippers.

Children Cry for Pitcher's Castona. Success Attending New Berniang Abroad, Prof. F. D. Clarke, brother of our post master, Mr. W. E. Clarke, has taken the position of Principal of the Michigan Institute for the Deaf and Dumb, the fourth largest institution of the kind in the world. Mr. Clarke had formerly been principal of the Little Rock, Ark., Deaf and Dumb institution for many years. He gave up that position for his present one which he entered upon yesterday. We see in the Little Rock Optic that another vacancy occurred in the Arkansas Institute, caused by the resignation of the art teacher. This position was offered to Prof. Clarke's niece, Miss Mary Bayard Morgan, of this city who was then 'at tending the State Normal and Industrial school at Greensboro. It is quite an honor. She has entered upon the discharge of her duties in the Institute. She arrived there ThanksEriv- ing Day. For a young lady yet in her '"teens" to have so responsible a position. Miss Morgan pursued her art studies under New Berne teachers, Miss Aurora Mace, of the Collegiate Institute and Mr. Nace Brock. Summons Served on Cleveland. Willis B. Smith, a young lawyer of Richmond, has had a summons served on President-elect Cleveland notifying him to appear in the Chancery Court of Rich mond next Monday, and answer a bill of complaint filed against him and others by the aforesaid Smith. He claims $5000 damages for alleged breach of contract for his professional services in the settlement of the public debt of Virginia. Mr. Cleveland was chairman of the advisory committee, and among his associates were ex-Secretary Bayard, ex-Minister El. J. Phelps and others. All of these are made defendants in the suit brought by Smith. Mr. Smith has been watching ever since that time for some of them to come into the State so as to serve them with summons. Charlotte has decided to build a new court house and jail. Thomas J. Jones was inaugurated to his second term as Governor of Alabama, Thursday. Neither Kolb nor any ol his supporters attempted in any way to dis turb the proceedings. A bill was introduced in the Alabama Legislature, Wednesday, providing an annuity of $500 per year for Mrs. Davis, widow of President Jefferson Davis, during her life. The bill met with much favor and will undoubtedly be passed. We learn that the store of Messrs. W. T. Bell & Bro., Pollocksville, was broken into Tuesday night and about fifty dol lar's worth jf goods stolen. Also about $2 in cash from the money drawer. En- ) trance was effected through a window. The papers are telling that William Tucker, a Sussex county, Va. gourmand, ate one gallon ot venison bash, half a gal lon of coffee and crackers mixed together and half a gallon of water and crackers, a pound of dry sugar and a lot of pork and bread. Then he died. A very destructive fire occurred in Fayetteville, Wednesday morning about 2 o'clock. It is supposed to have had its origin in a burglary. There were five two-story brick buildings burned. They comprised nine stores with .the stocks. The total loss is $40,000. The insurance amounted to $18,000. The second Presbyterian church of Charlotte has decided to extend a call to Rev. Mr. Boyd of Memphis. The News states that he is a young man of great power who has made an enviable repu tation and ranks high among the Presby terian divines of the South. It is under stood that he will accept. The Charlotte Observer says: "Dr. Wilder was called upon yesterday to am putate several fingers for a negro man who had been bitten by a "blue-gum nig ger" about a week ago. The hand was in a terrible condition, and was swollen to about double its natural size. Ac cording to the negroes' theory a "blue gum nigger bite" is deadly poison. Mr. A. Cohen proprietor of the New Berne Music House has made arrange ments for having his headquarters in Nor folk, Va., with the view of rnnning his business on a larger scale than ever before. He will begin there in February. He still intends, however to keep up his New Berne house and is now receiving a a stock of between $3,000 and $4,000 for it. The Kinston Free Press tells that the Disciples entered their handsome new church last Sunday, Rev. J. J. Harper filling his regular appointment. The church is made comfortable by a heater from below, and is lighted up by a large and beautiful chandelier which may be ele- ated so high that it will not cause inconvenience to the most sensitive eyes and yet throws a soft mellow light on the congregation. The Winston Sentinel says Philip Hanes is in the lead so far as big hogs have been heard from. He has one that will tip the beam at one thousand pounds. We would like to see that hog at the New Berne Fair. Eastern farmers might find it hard to surpass him bnt if he should prove entitled to the first premium they would submit with grace and start out for another trial at the next Fair. Archie McPhatter, col., one of the mur- i (lercrs of Deputy Sheriff Livingstone, of , , ; t i, ;, -" , tal ia Wilmington, Tuesday, from the effects of exposure while hiding from the sheriff's posse after the crime was com mitted. His feet and legs were frost bitten, abnormally swollon and were sloughing off. His brother, the other murderer, was lynched at Laurel Hill a few days ago, so the punishment of the two was swift and terrible. Mrs. E. E. Quidly had the misfortune to fall Tuesday night at her home and break her leg above the knee in two .-ilna Slip xi-fls fitpnnincr from one floor v i i r to another when the accident occurred, tncre l.eing a few inches difference in h . ,it betwecn them It will doubtless - .. . rrn vi-rv hiril with Mrs ( imrtl v jls Rhp is , h w ' rjd n rl infirm As aiir citi- , rt r t. t 3 zens know Mr. and Mrs. Quidly are good and industrious people.
