Section One, Tuesday, Jan. 7, 1902
THE LACK OF LOCAL ADVER
TISING. In no way is (allure bo noticeable in
any merchant or business house, as In
the one which does not advertise.
And the same thing can be said of any
city which refuses to keep Itself before
the public, In making known Its best
points, for the attraction of new busi
ness, new men and new money.
As an advertiser, the City of New Bern
has made a complete failure for the past
year.
Not thatjthls city has remained un
noticed In the dailyhappenings, but In
the way of offering Inducements to out
siders' there has been for months past,
and Is today, a complete lack of enter
prise in this particular.
For years New Bern had Its Annual
Fair as an advertisement. Thousands of
copies of the Journal were sent out in
this and other States, while thousands
of other kinds of advertising matter was
also sent out.
This advertising, supported by a first
class Fair, brought thousands of visi
tors to New Bern, and gave this city a
well earned and worthy publicity.
But the Fair Is gone, perhaps unpleas
antly remembered by those who gave It
their time and money.
The Chamber of Commerce of New
Bern ? Is there really such an organiza
tion ? And If such a one exists, what
has It done, or Is it doing?
Here is another blank, which like the
Fair, leavesj New Bern, as dark In its
advertising, as it is without eleetric
lights.
An indifferent support to one newspa
per, is not going to place New Bern's re
sources before the outside world.
The individual enterprise which
places an automiBTraservIce, to run
oyer the etfy's poor roadways, is not
going tdThelp New Bern's reputation
for good roads.
And while the city has yoted for elec
tric lights, the present gloom Is not in
any way lifted, while the advertising
apathy of the citizens continue In other
ways.
Perhaps New Bern has too many nat
ural advantages, therefore no necessity
exiBts for local advertising.
But it must not be forgotten that no
matter how many or how valuable may
be the resources at this place, they will
not be worth one dollar, to this commu
nity, while they remain unadvertised
and unknown to the outside world.
HONESTY NEVER ACCEPTS
SECRECY.
"It Is my desire," said Mayor Low,
of New York on assuming
isuming ms omce,
"that the newspapers be afforded every
opportunity to Inform the public of the
acts of my administration. I believe In
publicity in regard to municipal affairs,
and I wish the representatives of the
press to feel that they are at liberty at
all times to ask about any matters in
which the people of the city may be in
terested.? t.e:v,-g
Such a sentiment as the above is hot
one which calls for any special applause
for It la the duty of every public officer
to make known every act of his official
conduct of his office. ''""-' s- tv,
There are laws which require the pub
lication in the newspaper of certain
municipal and county matters, and on
affairs of administrators and executors.
But where there are laws demanding
publication, there should be other laws
of compulsory publicity on many mat
ters which are now unknown, and upon
which the people ought to be kept in
formed,,.:;, y'f-y " ' 1J '-.:'
' ' It is this secrecy which enables mis
management of private and publlo af
fairs, which remain ' hidden until the
scandal breaks bounds, and suffering
. follows. . ''
No honest official, or administrator of
any kind of trust, will ask that hii con
duct of affairs given him be held secret,
and no publicity glv.nj to his manage
ment. -:'-:?'.. :;t'- ,; ,
Publicity and the opportunity to criti
cise, will be found th. greatest safe
guard iht people caa bar la the eon-
duct of municipal, county and Stat af
fairs. . )'
; Honest administrations will never
seek secrecy, or need a compulsory pub
licity law, but It would be well that such
a law should be in effect, for it would
prove a cure of many of the Ills which
now Infest publlo offices and private
trusts.
HEROIC TREATMENT NEEDED.
The JotmxAL is surprised to see the
following expressed sentiment In the
Tarboro Southerner. .
. "As a New Year suggestion we wonld
very respectfully submit to Governor
Aycock that other matters besides edu
cational snouia receive some enthusias
tic attention."
Living in this Eastern Carolina such
an expression coming from a newspa
per, Is more than surprising, for if there
Is any condition of the people which
needs treatment, and heroic tieatment
at that, It Is In the matter of education
If the people of North Carolina are to
enjoy financial prosperity, an Improved
moral and religious state, and be placed
In a position to advance socially and
commercially, education, more and bet
ter education, is the certain means to
wards the consummation of these desires
Labor Commissioner Varner makes
the following In his report.
"Table No. 6 shows educational con
dltlon good 8 counties, fair 11, arid
?oor in SB; moral condition good in 21
air In 73, poor in 3; financial condition
good in 1, lair In 43, poor in S3.
A glance at this table shows how de
plorable an exhibit it Is.
' Educational condition, moral condi
tion, financial condition, all at a low ebb
and the second and third conditions due
to the Influence of the first.
The Raleigh Post In commenting on
the above report and the Southerner's
statement, well says:
'Is this not a lementable exhibition to
be made-in an official report of the edu
cational, social and financial condition
of the people ? And when we know that
education, proper education, such as
really builds np mentally, morally, per
eically and financially, can only change
such conditions thus proclaimed to exist,
can our friend, as a true lover of his
btate and people as we know him to be,
feel justified in condemning, even by in
sinuation or implication, any effort,
specially by those In authority, to bring
about such change in the public minds
as will remove such condition of af
fairs 1
Education being the basis for all ad
vanced civilization, and all the good
that follows through an educated, and
enlightened class of people, Jiowcah any
person hesitate a moment, or refrain
from assisting any and everything which
is working towards giving the people of
North Carolina better and increased ed
ucational facilities ?
Given education to the youth cf the
State; and with the natural resources of
the Old North State, every good thing
must follow, higher morals, more indus
trial activity and prosperity In every
degree.
The Governor and the Taxpayers may
be engaged in a severe struggle to pro
mote and achieve educational advance
ment in North Carolina, bnt however
great the effort, it should not be les
sened In a single particular.
The case is a hard one, and only
through heroic treatment can buccoss be
accomplished.
Deafness Cannot be Cared
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
there Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional ' remedies.
Deafness is caused by an Inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rambling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it Is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.-

000,000. Cleveland, Jan. 2. The financial af
fairs of the Everett-Moore syndicate,
owning or controlling a number of
urban and inter-urban electric rail
ways, and an extensive system of local
and long distance telephone lines In
Ohio and Michigan, passed into the
control of a committee composed of
seven prominent bankers of this city
to day. This action was taken, It Is
stated, as the result of temporary
financial embarrassment on the part
of the syndicate, which has for some
time paet been affected by the strin
gency In the money market. The com
mittee chosen has been at work Inves
tigating the affairs of the syndicate
and expresses the firm belief that the
co ncern is entirely solvent and that Its
embarrassment will be only temporary.
The Everett-Moore syndicate is accred
ited with controlling more than 1,200
miles of urban and inter-urban elec
tric lines In Ohio and Michigan, with
many new extensions still in course of
construction.

Ralegh, Jan. 8. There was a great
rush of applications for land grants in
December, to the secretary of the State.
One third of all the year's applications
cam in that month. There are many
people In Western North Carolina who
make a business of land-hunting, that Is
trying to find land not previously en
tered, or to which there is any chance of
securing a grant Of course some lands
are granted over and over again, as the
system is a very poor one.
It is probable that the editors In this
State will agree to attend the Charleston
Exposition April 10, which Governor
Aycock has set apart for them. A good
many preparations will have to be made
to properly observe "North Carolina
Week" there. Governor Aycock and
most of the State officials will attend,
and there will be a composlt regiment
of troops, but so far la the State there
are but few manifestations of any In
terest.
It is not probable that anything can
be done now to repair the ruined dykes
at the Caledonia Btate farm on the Roa
noke, destroyed twice in 9 months by
that most treacherous stream. A long
section of the dyke was rebuilt very near
the river, opposite a bluff on the other
side of the stream. As a result the river
was compressed there and the pressure
of the water was so enormous as to
literally crush the dyko. It was said by
superintendent Mann some time ago
that tho dyke should be built several
hundred feet back of the old line, so as
to give the river more room.
The enrollment of the institution for
the white blind and tho negro deaf mute

The auditor sent out the warrants to

Louisville, Ivy., Jan. 2 -Gen. Joseph
Wheeler said in an inttuview:
"I am convinced that the retention of
the Philippines, Guam and Hawaii is ab

of the world's population lives."
As to Cuba General Wheeler said:
"Cuba will be part of us. The people
will eventually realize that all their best
Interests demand the union. While I
was In Cuba a number of prominent
Cubans indicated to me that this senti
ment even then generally prevailed."
