OFFICIAL TAPER OF CRAVEN
COUNTY.
New Berue. N. C, Jnlj 15, 19 7.
TUB CODIIOISSIONERS ACTION.
Tbe outside criticism on the ac
tion of the Board of County Com
rnisaioners of Craven, in regard to
the'lioard' refusal to hoM a school
: election in August, according to the
School bill passed in the Assembly
of 1S07 ia far from tbe real situa
tion in the case, and as is qnite
usual in auoh instances, the criti
cism, is unjust.
jThV-TolPVH ,.nl!i.-lw..l tl'.
A v w v. i . it -va'i:tiv.-i vuw
fall text of the opinion of the
Board's Attorney in this matter.
It is a document that ouht to be
read by every one in North Caro
lina, carefully auJ thoughtfully.
It is a document that ia likely to
be brought into more than usual
prominence.
- Upon . the legal opinion as set
forth Jin this document there is
likely td couie most , important de
velopments and results to every tax
ryer in .North Carolina.
Because the commissioners of Cra
Ten" conn tj hate tjken a most radical
position in regard to this school bill,
hve declared most emuhatically
aruV unmistakably agaiost its con
stitutionality, it must not be as
sumed that thej have done so hasti-
Nor must it be thonght that the
members of the Board of Commis
sioners of Craven county are gentle
men wio are prejudiced upon the
subject of a liberal tax for educa
tional purposes, therefore have de
clared against the bill.
There is sot a member of the
Board who is not highly in favor of
a'tax for educational purposes, who
is not a tax payer, and most of them
are hoary tax payers.
That the Board of Commissioners
of Craven county has taken the po
sition it has, composed as it is en
tirely of business men, all large tax
payers, and each one a representative
citizen, and declared itself against a
law which it finds unconstitutional,
and this in tne face of a general sen-
tional .facilities, is a noteworthy
proceeding.
That these Commissioners will
- ' i v- t... a.. '.. . . .. t
anyone who knows them will not
x doubt. "V;
Their position from every point
of view is a most important one.
. As' citizens they have set them
selves in no enviable light. They
maj and probably will be indicted.
As Representatives of their county,
their position, taken after careful
and mature deliberation, cannot fail
to commend itself to every tax
They hafe sacrificed personal con
siderations, and taken a position
that will be far from agreeable,
from," an individual standpoint, for
the real contest has not commenced.
While the result cannot be deter
mined until the case has been heard
before the proper tribunal, its suc
cess from the Craven County Com
missioners position will be one
which will compensate for every-
. thing, for it will savo the tax psy-
era of North Carolina a sum of
money which they cannot afford to
pay, especially when it means in-
complete returns and an expendi
ture with no commeusurate re
sults. ' The J0L'KN".L, as will oery
thoughtful citizen l ru ( raven
County, commends the action 'fi'si
Commissioners, and trusts that the!
pluck which has begun this move- j
merit, and the opinion whicii has j
sustained It, will tind a triumphal j
ending. :
: TXXS POPTJUST CONVENTION.
A The national conference of the!
People's Party, which has just ended ;
its sessions at Nashville. Tenn., lias
taken on some new political armor, i
U FUUbCU O tV ti l 1 1 J ' ' L its w.'4 (
Iitical trappings, which it bedeves
, un suited for the next campaign
ngns.
This convention has also pro
sounced very decidedly against
Marion Batler, its members seeming
to realize that this political leader, a
, man in whom they had placed so
much confidence, was simply a po-
IilicaJ trickster, one who r. a i
i trayed his constituents rn order to
advance his own individual fortune.-.
' Believing this, the convention
placed its mark of disapproval up--:-.
Marion Butler, an i hi nu-t .. in
no uncertain nianr -.
Whatever may be urcv i against
Thos. K. Watson, it can hardlv be;
said that be is insincere in his 1'op
uliit beliefs, or afraid to announce
them. j (
Between these two Populist lead
ers, it can be said that Marion Bat-!
Ier is sincere in his principles so lar
as they do iot conilict with his
persoual aims, or political advance
ment, while Thorn. E. Watson is
fanatical in carrying out his political
principles, regardless how it may
affect him, individually.
'The one is a col l blooded poli
tician, the other a hot biooded en
thusiast. As to the Convention's work at
Nashville, and the address whi?h it
jriginated, to he sent out to the
people, some new political positions
are taken.
Most extraordinary, the conven
tion declared against fusion.
Probably it thinks its populistic
doctrines are sufficient in themselves
to attract votes.
Hut. more extraordinary still, it
declares "that free silver will not
bring relief until trusts, eunbines
anl rings are abolished."
Just how this declaration, giving
free coinage of silver the second
place, will please its party members,
remains to bo 6een.
The convention proposes to re
organize and push its educational
methods, and it may be counted
npon as being a factor in future po
litical campaigns.
NEW BERNE'S INDUSTRIAL OUT
LOOK. With the final settling up of the
truck crops, balancing receipts
against expenditures it has often
been thought that the real work of
the vear in this vicinity was prac
tically over.
But this year it is different, and
New Berne, while it has had a good
truck season, is not going to rest
upon this one industrial factor, but
expects to be kept busy from the
time the trucking season is over,
until it returns again in the last
part of the winter months.
The tobacco interest, a tobacco
market, will in a few weeks become
an important industrial factor in
this city and vicinity.
It was said that New Berne could
never build a tobacco warehouse.
One is now nearly ready for oc
cupancy, which destroys that proph
ecy of not being able to build a
warehouse.
It has been said that the lands in
this vicinity would not produce a
marketable tobacco.
Tne idea has been scattered to
the winds by the actual production
of a tobacco equal to ny grown in
North Carolina or Yirgiuia, and
in some instances of a finer qual
ity. The farmers in this section have
shown their confidence in the New
Borne Tobacco Warehouse by put
ting in a tobacco acreage, and the
Warehouse people have assisted the
planters with seed, and any advice
that was necessary to assist them in
their tobacco raising.
New Berne has this industrial
factor, its tobacco business, for this
Fall and into the Wintei.
And besides this tobacco trade,
the outlook is most promising for
corn and cotton which will come
here for a market, and add to the
industrial trade of the city.
The industrial outlook for New
Berne this Fall i3 excellent, and to
make it a complete success, a 6ure
thing, it is only necessary that every
citizen should do his part, by talk
ing up his town and working to
tiring business to it.
There are good, prosperous times
ahead for those who are willing to
make an effort, and this means the
development and upbuilding of New
Berue and her industries.
SHALL WE GO AWAY?
The summer flight of city resi
dents to the mountains or seashore,
has become so customary that it is
considered the light thing to do.
While New Berne may not boast
of being a metropolis, yet she has a
number of eiti.ens who are well able
to join, and do join, the throug of
summer tourists to mountain and
octan side.
To those who through choice or
ueeess'.tv are compelled to remain at
r,ir.;e, to purMie during the hot
months their usual routine duties,
there is much of comfort and enjoy
ment. Especially is it so to those living
in New Berne.
Tti.'se great essentials to a city's
health, good water and sewerage,
this city enjoys.
Its sanitarv condition is also good .
Its street- and alleys are well looked
after, and no foul matter is permit
ted to accumulate.
W iiiic New Berne, as well the rest
of t'ne country has experienced a
long and severe heated term, yet the
general health of the people of
New Berne today is remarkably
goo i, and the doctors have no se
rious cases to report, while the
i rugists are willing to admit from
tiiei- point of business "that the
peoi !e are distressingly healthy."
With these ical conditions exist
ing New Bernians w'tio are not
strietlv tourists, must feel well sat
d with their lot. and question of
g"i:ig awav iued not disturb them.
In addition to the home com forts,
the New Bernian who wants a few
hours outing can easily take it. and
at sma'I coat, going either to the
seashore near Wilmington, or to
Morehead City.
The citizen of New Berne has
really nothing to trouble him dur
' , -".'v-':-' ' Vv-;..
1 ing the summer time. If he wants a
i change of scene, lie can easily get it.
and if compelled to remain at home
. he can feel secure so far as his per
sonal health and bodily comfort arc
concerned .
The question of where shall we go
! for the summer, is not a vexing oik
to the residents of New Heme, and
I thev never have to s. riou.-!v ask it.
Sorrow and Venvv.
(Contributed.)
1 The article in last Sunday's .lor
J -Vai. on "The mision of d isa ppoi n t

one. On all alike comes this sorrow
: .... r ... . i ' - . i

heart aches are the daily events of
life for "never morning w no to
evening till some hearts did break."
Even the sunniest heart will feel
daik clouds of sorrow gathering
around it thick and fast.
Peace is often driven out of these
sunny hearts to allow disappoint
ment to hold its sad and bitter
sway.

Our Only.
Should I support the missionary
work of the church .
This is no unimportant question
to the reader. Personal obligation
and personal salvation wre involved.
And the salvation of others is also
involved, because the gospel reveals
Cod's plans for saving men, and
those who have not the (iospel have
not tl)0 knowledge of the way of
life.
All questions of religious duty,
have but one supreme reference.
What saith the Ijord.
The Bible is the revealed will of
of (iod. Its precepts and commands
are the rules of duty for evtrv be
liever. Its declarations are authori
tative and are binding n all, ami
on ail alike. If the Bible is not the
rule of duty, then there is no au
thoritative law of moral conduct. If j
the authority of the word is reject-
ed, we have no authoritative ethical!
code, and no moral responsibility. I
Each one is a rule unto himself. So
wild and fatal a conclusion will be!
at once rejected by every thought-)
ful person. j
As the Bible furnishes one stand-
ard of duty, we refer every question '
of obligation to that. What docs
the Bible teach .
On the duty of mission work it
speaks plainly.
All the prophecies concerning the
work of Christ, t'ne great head of
the Church, reveal the world wide
character of His mission, as well as
the benevolence of His reign. No
one can read these prophecies with
out being convinced that the com
ing Messiah was to be the world's
redeemer.
The teachings of Christ and the
apostles reiterate and tensify the
teaching of prophecy in regard to
the mission of Christ. j
Jesus said that these prophecies j
were to be fulfilled in Himself, and
that repentance and reuiission of
sins were to Lie preached in His
name among ail nations.
And that this work should "no
done. He puts the duty of per
forming it upon His disciples,
followers.
And lie puts the duty in language
that cannot he misunderstood, or
misconstrued. "lo ye into all the
world and preach the gospel to
every creature."
This command has no geographi
cal limitation: into ail the world. It
is not. icstrietcd in its application
to any nationality, or to any race.
It is to every creature.
This command was not intended
to iie confined simply to those to
whom it was e-poken, and no one
claims to so limit it.
The command was to the fol
lowers of Christ in all sub-eoueut
periods until it was fulfilled, and
tile go.-pel is preirched throughout
I the world .
As a command to His church, or
His people, it lies with imperative
force on all, and no member of the
kingdom of Christ can refuse to do
mission work without refusing to do
the will of Christ, without positively
disobeying Him .
He has the right, to eommandMis
church. Co,! says to the disciples
"This is my beloved son, hear ve
Him.'' lie has made Christ the
head of the church anil conferred
ail authority and power upon Him.
As tiie head of the church it is the
duty of all to obey Him. To refuse
to do so is to rebid against His au
thority. We have no prerogative as
to what duties He lays upon us we
will perform. They are all binding
upon us alike. He commands us to
"preach the gospel to every crea
ture." and we must do it, or delib
erately refuse to do His bidding, so
that every christian is under posi
tive and inalienable obligation to
support the mission work of the
church. There is no excuse for not
doing it. F. D. Swindell.

Yt aing architects of talent have reason
to lejoice at the new method of securing
plans for public buildings, under the
Tarsnev act of Congress, which is to be
inaugurated by a competition to furnish
the plans for new buildings to be erected
at Norfolk, Ya.. and at Camden, N. .J.
Regulation- governing these and future
architectural competitions were this week
i-suetl by t he Treasury depart incut. They
pro vir.li' that at least live architects of
good standing shall be asked to siihni t
competitive plans, drawings and sprcifi-
c dions for each building to be erected,
information as to cost, etc.. to be fur
nished by the Supervising Architect
otlice. The light to reject all plans sub
mitted is reserved, but w hen one of the
competitors succeeds he will get quite a
nice thing. lie will be commissioned by
the government to prepare complete
plans and in locally supervise the erect
ion of the building. Secretary (iage has
great expectations of the new plans, both
as an improver of public architecture
and a devt lnper of architectural talent.

express his opinion of Judge Rradiey. of
the District of Columbia Supreme Court,
who presided over the trials of the sugar
scandal w itness and. w ith one exception,
instructed the juiies to bring m verdicts
of not guilty, Mr. Allen said: ''I do

I care, but any man sitting, on the bench

not a proper one. ought to be convicted
of imbecility and general incompetency,
for not knowing one of the fundamental
principles of jnris-nrudence that has
come down to us from 000 years ago.
One of the oldest principles of evidence,
one upon w hich we act every day, is
that silence gives consent. It was deci
ded differently, however, by that distin
guished jurist. Mr. Bradley, and possi
bly there are a few poor fellows . who

Assistant Secretary Howell, of the
Treasury department, was about Ihe mad

Alabama oflice-seeker. Several weeks
ago Mr. Howell received a letter from
this man asking that his application for
the position of collector of Customs at
Mobile be riled. Mr. Howell filed the ap
plication and as a courtesy wrote the
man that he had done so. This week Mr.
Howell got another letter from the Ala

to pay Mr. Howell one-fourth of the
salary, if he would procure his appoint

was found floating in the French Broad

opinion that the body was t hat of S il

whatever to the murderer or murderer-.
It was found that the latter after killing
him had thrown the body in the river.
An interesting legal case comes up
from Chatham county A. 1'. Terry of
I'ittsboro made application to the county
commissioners for license to sell liquor,
and To out of the 110 voters in the town
ship signed the petition. The county
commissioners refused to grant license.
I '-i ceed ing- were today begun to force
theni to grant it. on the ground that the
law does not give them absolute discre
tion or power lo refuse generally. The
wording of a previous act was "shall
without discretion grant license." which
that of the present act is 'may.'' But
there is a proviso, which was in the
former act and whic h was evitlt ntly by
an oversight left in the new- one. and it is
on this proviso that Terry's counsel base
their contention.
The southeastern tariff insurance asso
ciatLim will not comply with the law of
the last Legislature requiring insurance
on farm houses to be as low as the rates
in the southsidc counties of Virginia.
The act also requires n reduction of rates
on farms in the country. With this act
the companies comply, but they ignore
that part of it relative to country dwell

HEAT IN CHICA'-O.

CnK'AOO. July 0. Of all the hot days
that have made life a burden since the
warm weather of lSi'T began this was the
worst. There were more deaths of hu
man beings and of animals, ami the
number of prostrations was greater than
upon any other day of the long hot spell
that has hung over Chicago. Sixteen
people are dead from the heat, two art
insane, and out of a large number of
prostrations ten cases are critical.
The night was a sizzling horror there
was comfort to be found nowhere, the
hottest night Chicago had ever known.
The mercury was 1ST last midnight, and
although near the lake it sank to Si, at ti
a. m. the decrease in temperature was
more than offset by an increase in the
humidity, which through the night, and
day made the discomfort far greater than j
is implied by the record of the thermom
eter. The day was especially severe on
horses, over 100 lying in the streets. Six
teen hundred men and boys were tem
porarily thrown out of employment in
Pullman today. Owing to the intense
heat the managers found it necessary to
close the works at noon and semi ,the
Workmen home.
At Bloomingt n, 111., the mercury
reached KM.
