JEJ Mr Parker says lhat he has placed something like one hundred sets of ,. flues, and that he has been unable to fill near all the orders, on account of a diffi culty in procuring Iron.

Iron Bridge at roilocksvtlle. Cypress Creek,' Jones County, N. C, June Mth, 1903. Editob NlW BlRlt Jocehal: I sm certainly glad to see that the citizens of Pollocksvllle Township are making an effort to save Jones County from another blander, and at the same time ssve money for the tsx payers all over the County. It needs no argument to prove to tbe ordinary mind that with the scar city of good heart lumber, and the price that one hu to pay for it, that a steel bridge on a good permanent foundation across the Trent river at PollocksvOlr, It economy tothe.tax payers," and the rank and file of the right thinking peo ple of Jonee county are in favor f it) It is true we may have a few1 old fossils, who cannot see beyond their nose, (and Utey. generally have small noses) that would oppose any improvement. These fellows an back numbers, and out of date; there sre doubtless tome who favor the Iron bridge but are afraid to advocate it, for fear it might not be popular among the voters. These letter are looking for office, but I want to say to all such that the ordi nary voter, knows that it Is economy to him as a tsx psyer to have a steel bridge across the Trent river at Pollocksvllle. It Is good for the soul to meet a fellow citizen who hu convictions of his own, and the courage to assert them. We must remember thst Pollocksvllle Town ship took the position some thirty years sgo, thst it wu right to prohibit the sale of intoxicating drink to close op the bar room, and they have had re markable prosperity for this period. While I think our lands are better In this part of the county, yet Pollocksvllle Township pays more tsxes; their prop erty is valued higher, do : more voting, and are more fortunate generally than we arr; they have a rail road which kind providence seems to have given them, this rosd It a Urge tax payer, it did not cost tbe county any thing, and the whole county gets tbe benefit of tbe taxet it payt. This it a time of progress and the old fossils should understand It. The tax payers of Jones county are entitled to the steel bridge across the Trent river at Pollocksvllle, and I be lieve the commissioners will give it to them. -' : Before closing 1 want to say that our friends in Pollocksvllle Township are mistaken if they think that we are prejudiced against them. The people all through this section, are proud of Pollocksvllle Township, and in this case, when we help you, we help ourselves. , Yours Truly, CITIZEN. - Another Robbery. The drug store of Dr Lelnsler Duffy, corner Broad and Fleet streets, wu en tered by a burglar. . Tbe thief gained en trance by prying up the latch of the door which could be done without mak ing but little noise. There wu about five dollars la chsnge in the money drawer which was taken away. Two watches and some other ar ticles of value, also In the drawer were left undisturbed, but It Is thought they were overlooked. . Tbe clerk wu sleeping in a room ad- Joining, but so quietly was the entry made that he knew nothing of it until morning, when he fonnd the door open and the drawer rifled. Notice to the Magis trates. I am informed through the office of the Register of Deeds that a notice hu been' sent to the various Msglstrates of the Couoty notifying them to meet at the Court House at New Bern on the 4th of July next for the purpose of elect ing a Commissioner to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late chairman, K R Jones, It this notice hu been re ceived by the Msglstrates I with to state that it has been issued without any au thority of law, and by some one who is assuming to discharge duties which be long b tbe Bosrd of County Commission era. If the Msglstrates were, to meet under such notice they could not elect a Commissioner because they were called together without authority of law. Section 717, Vol. I, of the Code pro vides: "For tbe proper discharge of their duties the Justices of ihe ' Peace shsll meet annually with the Board of Jom mlsslonert on the first Monday In Jane unless they shall be oftener convened by the Board, of Commissioners." There is no other way provided by law for calling the Magistrates together. ' - The County Commissioners at the proper time will call together the Magis trates to fill the vacancy above referred to. The Magistrates are farther request ed not to obey the call which hu been Issued by someone not having authority to issue It, and to wait until they reoelva the proper notice from the Board of Commissioners. J J BAXTER, Commissioner, JnueSSlh, 1903. To Justices ot Peace of Craven County. Yon are hereby called to meet at the Court house, at 10 a m, Saturday, July 4th for the purpose of electing a County Commissioner to fill tbe vacancy caused by the death of Commissioner, KR Joecs. snL.'rr;, A POLITICAL SLAP? : Hew Ben and Wilmington Left Wlthoat a Deputy U. $. RartnaL ' The shelving of Charles M Babbitt, u deputy United Statu Marshal of this district, embracing New Bern and Wil mington, hu provoked some heavy thinking among Republicans, la this city. - ... Under the new order of things, tome deputies had to go, but it looks strange to retire the deputy , marshal who . had charge of two such Important places u New Bern, and Wilmington, both cities now being left without a United States deputy marshal, although both cities have United btatee eoorts, while the deputy at Washington, N. C, retains his Republicans here openly charge poli tics, not any consideration for the needs of a deputy, being the motive of such a change.

The negro wu charged with breaking open, Wed nesday night, two stores at tbe vllkge mentioned, one of White Bros , and one of WE Jones. ,Islermade a full confession of the crime yesterdsy at tbe jail. He Is about eighteen years old and ssys thst he is a native of Klnstoc, wat making hit way to New Bern. Arriving at Cove and seeing everything quiet he thought he had a good chance to "make a raise.1 He first entered the store of Messrs White, who keep a general line of merchandise, where he ssys he helped himself to a watch, aome knives snd other small articles of value, but that he failed to find any money. He next visit ed Mr Jones' store where be secured as much can day and other eatables as he wanted, washing the whole down with copious draughts of ginger pop. Finding the pickings so good at Cove, he wu loath to depart, and lingered on until the shadow of suspicion fell upon him, and now behold his predicament. He will be held until the next term of court.. - - -- . Should Become a Hoasehal d Remedy. Senator John E.

Setting aside the flood not to be counted as literature, the naming of a book that la worthy of a name la a matter of real momcut Two methods seem to have been followed that of using the name of a leading character, aa "Jane Eyro" and "Bob Roy;" the other that of giving some hint of the nature of the book, as In "Vanity Fair" j and "The Cloister and the Hearth." Tbe first method has no Justification, What we plead for is that a title shall contain the soul or tbe keynote of the book. Then the author and reader start on fair terms, Jane Austen, a consummate artist, understood this well, u In "Pride and Prejudice," but forsook her advantage In "Emma" a better book and susceptible to aa tell lag title. It is difficult to estimate what would have been the loss to lit era turn If "The Scarlet Letter" had been labeled "neater Prynne" and "The. House of Seven Gables" a title that has worked Its way Into architec turehad been called "The Pyn cheons." Dr. Theodore T. Hunger In BookJovers" Mainline.

One reason why farm land Is low In aome sections of the east Is because the spirit of the times is not agricultural In those localities. Where, agriculture is not respected as it should be, where other Industries are looked up to and farming looked down en, how can wo expect lands to sell for their full. value? It Is too late to reform such communi ties, but It la not too late to prevent others from going in the same direc tion. Where fanners take pride in their business, respect It and them selves, they are pretty sure to be men of consequence In the community, and to find their properties Of value. Think of this when tempted to" run. down farming and to exalt i other, lines., oX business. Remember that every "knock? er" and kicker in the community, Is hurting the value of his own property, and every enthusiast Is helping it There Is no reason why good farm land should not be still more valuable here after. Our urban population Is In creasing rapidly and the area available to feed it is not enlarging In a corre sponding degree. But If the spirit of agriculture is lost the substance will vanish also. Stockman and Farmer. Pearl Millet. The United States department of agriculture has Issued a new bulletin by Carlton R. Ball on pearl millet, otherwise known as a cattail millet, Japan millet, pcncllarla or Hand's Wonder forage plant. According to this bulletin, the best time to cut pearl mil let for soiling purposes Is when the plant has readied a height of three or four feet At this stage it Is not so, well relished by cattle and horses as when the plant is smaller. It is nu tritious and palatable when cut for green forage when two or three feet high. As a hay crop a very great diffi culty lies in caring such a large mass of succulent forage on the ground where it Is grown. For the best hay; the plnnt should be cut Just as the heads are appearing. Lime an Potatoes.. We have often given an opinion about using lime on potatoes in a sin gle word don't! While lime will fre quently Increase the yield of potatoes, It Is ttt worst thing you can use If there Is any scab on the seed. This scab is a skin disease which thrives best when. the soil Is alkaline. The lime gives the germs Just the condition they need for growing and spreading, and as seed is rarely If ever free from scab you ore sure to hove a scabby crop It you use It. We have tried sev eral times to raise a crop of potatoes on a tough old meadowy trat raver suc ceeded In doing It We would much prefer to grow a crop of corn first and then follow with potatoes.-Rural New Yorker. How to Get Bulletins. Where farmers desire to secure copies of publications of the agricultural de partment they should apply preferably to their members of congress or United States senators, providing they know the numbers or names Of the publica tions, for the reason that the bulk of the farmer's bulletins are printed un der act of cougress and every senator and representative receives a quota for distribution. The secretary of agricul ture also receives some copies, but the demands should preferably be made on the congressmen, as congress Is the body which authorizes the money for the printing, and it Is fight that appli cations for such documents should be made dlreet.-rTennessee Farmer.

Wing In Na tional Stockman and Farmer. , : Depth In Planting. f i At the Michigan station tests were made by planting seeds of wheat, oats, flax, corn, barley, clover, peas and buckwheat at different depths ranging from half an Inch to a foot. The high est percentage of germination : tor wheat, flax, corn and clover was at a depth of an Inch; for oats, two Inches; for peas, four inches; for barley, half an Inch, and for" wheat, two Inches. Clover entirely failed when the depth was greater than two Inches. Some plants of oats, corn and peas appeared above ground when the depth of plant ing was eight Inches or nore.( ; ,,, , 4 : ; .

New Bern Downs Elizabeth City In Tenth Inning. TUe five hundred fans that ventured out to Athletic Park yesterday afternoon got their money's worth and more too. It was a game that was likely to cause heart failure, for never has such an ex citing and more interesting game ever been played in this city. At the last stage of tbe game several spectators had to get up and leave as tbe pressure on their nerves was overbearing. Elizabeth City played . a strong game In the field and were also clever in tak ing advantage of tbe errors of the home team. With the score 3-1 against them In the ninth they succeeded in getting three men across the rubber, thus mak ing the score 4-1 against New Bern. New Bern at this stsge of the game looked almost sure for defeat, but Tucker and Armstroug hit safely, and with two strikes on batter," Doc Howell, a boy of seventeen, was sent to bat in Tucker E. place who had to retire on account of split finger, and Doc just lined one out to right field thai did the business, scor ing Tucker, F. and Armstrong, and tle lng the score. The side was then retired In one, two," three order. ' Elizabeth City was blanked in their half of tenth. t New Bern's half of the tenth was full of excitement. The score was a tie and only a run was needed to win. Pretty- man the first man struck out, but F Tucker and Tlsdale made singles, which made matters more encouraging. Arm strong went out second to first, advan cing the players to a base each. It was up to Doo Bo well again. The first two pitched balls were met, but resulted In high fouls. It was two strikes, but the next ball Doc slammed past the pitcher too hot for the lnflelders to handle and the winning run came In. ' The pitching of Patterson was gilt edged, only two Llts being made off his deliveiy, while eighteen visitors fanned the air. ' Fearing, pitch and Cannon, catch, did the brilliant . work for Elizabeth City. Fearing being as strong in tenth aa In first, but the hits were bunched on him. : ' ' .': " '' .
