The spirit to undertake and develop, and the enterprise to continue along the lines attempted, marks the local educa tional growth of 1903, as being distinct ly on the advance, and progressive In its character.' And la these last days of the year the promise for the new year, 1904, is most encouraging in its outlook to.those who have at heart this momentous issue, which leads all other lssuesJllnjits Im portance, not only today, but ia its ef fect on the future growth, development and importance of this city. As noted In the local; colums of the Jour Dal, most Important in this local ed ucational growth for 1904, Is the estab lishment In New Bern of a Military Academy and Business College. Here will be opportunities right at home for the young men and women of this city to secure special lines of study, which it has hitherto been necessary for those seeking these special studies to go away to some distant city to secure. Here the opportunity at home, and it only re quires that patronage shall be given this Institution In order that it may prove a success, to not only its proprie tors, but to this community, as well as to all who patronize the school. While the educational spirit of 1903 in New Bern haa been one of progress.there has not been as great an advancement as might, and should have been made. There is much which demands improve ment in the Graded School in this city. Its equipment it not equal to the require ments of today, and in consequence those who teach cannot do full justice to those whom they are engaged to teach. There has been too much hesitation among those in financial authority over the affairs of the GradedSohool. There has been good done,Improvements made, but there Is too evident a disposition to first count the dollars spent, rather than a disposition to spend these dollars, with a clear conception that the expenditure means splendid returns later on. A clearer insight and better apprecia tion of the actual needs of the Graded School, will no doubt give it In 1904 the equipment It requires to make it the In stltutlon that is demanded in this city The outlook, educationally, therefore is the best It has been in this Silty for years. The field is a grand one for de velopment, and it should be the purpose, put into execution by every citizen to assist in the local educational growth to the full extent of each one's ability, and this effort ought to be made the person al business of everycitlzen. ,, t ' THE WILMINGTON POST OFFICE LMESS. The controversy over who shall be postmaster of the Wilmington, N. O. post office, Is of no special Interest or importance to people outside of that city, and would not receive notice ex cept for the principals engaged In the scramble for the place, - The fact that one Daniel L. Russell, whose reputation, unfortunately for Wilmington where he claims citizenship has always in some degree been offen sive to the good people of that city, is largely involved in this post offloe mat ter, adds much to the unsavory charact er of the contest. With the present Incumbent a woman, It has seemed necessary that another woman should be brought forward for the position, giving It the appearance that no male republicans In Wilmington are capable of filling this office. ' And perhaps even worse han this absence of men for this position, it appears that the before mentioned Russell, who has figured ra'ther conspicuously in republi can politics in North Carolina for a good many years, is prominent in this f ,':.t (or the post mastership of the Wllr i -. post office. I a rntV.Io statements made, it .t t',3 prtseut post master, KI.iJ Darby, engaged the aforesaid BaseeQ as her political ambassador to appear at the court of President Rooeevalt, to suke argent appeal laker behalf. But Ml to outward appearaaosa servtnj torMIas Darby, the wife of th poUU eiaa Russell la brought forward as a candidate forth post mastership, and Judging frosa all signs, with every chance of success. . The peculiarly aafortuaet aide of this contest is, that two womea, both person ally of excellent character, should be nixed up ia a political mesa. The pres catincumbent ao doubt finds the office, which she has well managed, a very good thing, pecuniarily. Mrs Russell, who has plenty of other matter to en gage her attention does aol need the of fice, either for the work Involved to take up her spar time, nor the money con sideration which goes with the posi tion. But with Dnlel L Russell permitted to take the part of the bull ia this po litical china shop matter of the post mastership at Wilmington, there can be nothing decently done ii the matter, nor wlH the question of reputation en ter Into the settlement of who will be postmaster, other things being neces sary. While the conduct and service of the post office is all important to Wllming tonlans than who shall be their city's postmaster, it cannot bat chagrin the the majority of the people of that city that Daniel L Russell, shall dictate who shall serve in the office. THE CULTIVATION OF THRIFI. No resolution of more personal value can be made at the commencement of another year, than that of the promise to begin with 1904, to cultivate a habit of thrift. The value of thrift, in the Individual cannot be too highly estimated. It does not mean that a miserly habit is to be cultivated. It does not mean a lowering of the standard of the family living. It does not mean that any man or woman shall go without the necessaries of life, In order to lay up the dollars, which such a saving may make possible. It does not mean the giving up of the many things in the household which makes life pleasant and enjoyable. But there Is a cultivation of thrift, dally or weekly laying aside of money, which is possible In the majority of households, and which nearly every young man or woman can do, who Is a wage earner. Hardly an income, but which some portion of it Is spent, unwisely and therefore unprofltably, and in such sea sons of plenty as this present one, is there an over liberality, which is really a prodigal expenditure of money, that there is no occasion for, money which could be saved and would prove of great good in the seasons when times and lo cal conditions may be far less generous to the wage earner than they are to day. .) - In this city and In every city there are young men who are today earning good wages, who regard this seasan of plenty as one which has no end, and who are living up to their full wage earning opacity; each day, each week, each month, finds them with not a dollar la bank or invested. They are living well, living too well, for they are exist ing for each day, making no 'provision for the future, and every person who ha lived to years of middle age, knows that there are sea tons of leanness as well as those of fat ness, when wise provision made in the latter, means great relief in the former. It is this cultivation of thrift today, that custom of not spending every cent, every dollar earned, but of putting away something out of each wage that Is earned, which marks and makes the In dependent Individual, who is prepared against accident and misfortune or ill nets, and this . very provision against possible future need gives a personal security and satisfaction which only those who have experienced it can justly value and estimate the satisfaction it gives its possessor. $100 Reward, $100.

We began us ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in 1887, and finding it such a reliable reme dy for colds and croup, we hare never been without It in the house since that time.

When he was ill at a distance from her, she went ev ery day and sat down on a stone in tbe middle of the road to catch tbe first glimpse of a messenger, afar off. And she said: "Ah, whoever shall come to announce the recovery of the king, my brother, though he be tired, jaded, soiled, di sheveled, I will kiss him and embrace him as though he were tbe finest gen tleman In tbe kingdom.". When he died she seemed literally heartbroken, and she did not long sur vive him, A Prisoner in Her Own House. Mrs.W. H.
