Matten are very quiet here today, everybody talking about politics and watting (or aome thing to happen tomorrow. The Demo orate are pretty confident, as to the National matters, while the Republicans profess to be absolutely sure of their aide winning. Harry Skinner returned thia morning from the eighth congress ional district where he has been speak ing. He says Blackburn will certainly be elected to Congreaa there. Skinner says the Democrats will be surprised at the result of the election In the Slate as they will get only between 35 000 and 45,000 majority. He declares the Repub llcana will have at leaat forty members of the legislature, .but that they will oany very few ot the eastern counties. From what he eays some of the Repub licans have evidently thonght they would carry a number of eastern conn tlea. How they got such notion as tbat Is hard to understand. Sklnaer ad mlts that a number of the Republicans are afraid of New York. He says that if that Slate goea agalnat Roosevelt the atralned conditions will affect other States. At Democratic headquarters every thing was quiet. The work has been done there. Chairman Simmons say a the party has never been In a finer con dttlon since he has been Chairman, than at present. There ta less dls-tatlafaction and less Indepententism than ho has ever known. He says thera is no wide spread apathy as some people have de clared there was. The country people have been busy harvesting the r crops. during the wonderful weather, bat really their interest In poll1 ice Is as great as ever and that the v to which will be polled tomorrow will snow that there Is no lake warmness or indlffer anec He predicts that the vote will be even larger than it was two j ears ago and that the Democratic majority proportion to the total vote polled will be as large as it was then. Returns him from county chairmen show 55,000 majority in sight, but his own figures are close around 80,000. If there were real enemy In sight the majority might be run up to 80,000. He says the Demo crats will elect a solid congressional delegation and that there will be fewer Republicans In this legislature than there were 'In the last one. The fight has been hot er In the 8th and 10th dis tricts than elsewhere and because this the vote will be larger there than anywhere else. If there had teem as sharp a contest in all the districts t these the msjorlty would exceed 80,000. He asserts that the Republican party was never before thoroughly discredited In the State then it is today, and never was there less confidence in the leader ship of that party. There has been a good deal of Interest In Chatham county but people w ho have been speaking there, B O Beckwlth among others say Hayes will carry the county, though the fight has been a hot one 'and the election will be pretty close. Governor A ycock returned last even ing from Maryland and left thin after noon for Goldsboro where he apt aks to night. He will vote there tomorrow Secretary ot State Grimes votes at Grimesland, Pitt county. Commissioner of Agriculture Patterson went home to vote. Attorney General Gilmer votes at Wsyaesvllle. Auditor Dixon votes here. Tressurer Lacy Is In Arizona for his health. There was ice 'his morning and a kill ing frost the severest of the season. It Is the general comment of everybody that the autumn is the most beautiful ever known. The Supreme court will thia week hear appeals from the 11th distrust, bat will not call the docket until Wednesday because tomorrow Is election day. This week the merchants of Rather fordton will give an oyster supper and an address will be made to their asso ciation by Norman Johnson.

PORT ARTHUR NEARLY GONE Rome, Nov 7. The Tokto correspon dent of the Glonale di Roma wire that A - . . run annur is regaraea as taken in th Japanese capltol. The Russians still hold four forts, but the town itself 1 opea to I he Japanese os the northeast. The troops of the Mikado did not enter tne town at the fort, swoanse it is stilt under tire from the Liaod mountain forts. All the besetferf efforts will now oe directed, toward the Golden Hilt fortress. ' . The New Bern Cotton Oil & Fertilizer Mills A Factor of the City's Prosperity. The New Bern Cotton Oil & Fertilizer Mills ia an Industry which perhaps few people know about. It is situated at con slderabla distance from the centre of the city and the work is of a nature tbat does not create he Interest that manufacturing establishment of as large proportions but turning out a different class of goods would create. At the same time it mut be admitted that the New Bern Cotton Oil & Fertilizer Mills is as important an Industry aa the city has within her corporation As Is well known the company formed several years ago, was re-Incorporated in 1903, taking into the company several new memters. Since that time they have been remodeling, enlarging and building anew until now they have a plant of very large proportions. The plant itself has reached a stage that the company deems adequate to meet the demand that will be made on it for a good many years to con e. It is one of the largest concerns i Eastern North Carolina and enjoys a constantly Increasing patronage. There are over cne hundred men em' phyeHj.itals mill. It Is therefore ob vious to tee that such an institution Is a valuable feature in the prosperity of the city and is a concern in which the clti zens should take much pride. There were no bonuses asked, no concessions solicited. The company developed its own capital. Its resources are ample. These facts Ktve it a prominent and es tablished place in the financial world which make It a powerful, though but comparatively new concern. The reporter of the Journal made visit to the mills a few days ago and was surprised to learn of the extent of such concern and of the amount of business transacted there. The equipment and operations are wonderful. The new office which has recently been completed Is of commodious and convenient architecture. It is a square, one story brick building situated at prominent place on the grounds and can be easily seen from the road. It Is also advantageously located in relation to the other buildings. The vsult in this build ing is the safest in the city. The varied interests of this company ginning, marketing of the cotton, cotton seed products, and fertilizers are trans acted there without the least friction All are important features in the daily business routine. The territory from which the company gets its cotton is very large in extent Boats discharge at their docks enormous cargoes dally, rue counties in tne Northeastern section of the State as well aa those closer to New Bern contribute large quantities of the fleecy commodity to this concern. Not only are many bales received, but tons of the ginned seed come from the same places and man y other points to be converted Into articles of commerce. A few local dealers store their cotton there. The gin house is one of the largest In Eastern North Carolina and has a capa city of 40 bales per day. The machinery for thia work has recently been set up It is the most approved system in use and does its work perfectly. Two presses are constantly employed packing the ginned cotton for the market. There are two gtades which are put In the mill; one lor the spinners and the other for the mattress nukeis and quilt makers. The cotton seed, of which they always have an enormous amount on hand Is converted into oil at the rate of ISO barrels per day cotton seed meal 20 tons per day. A portion of the seed also goes to the manufacture of the fertilizers. The dally output of the fertilizer factory Is 100 tons. The company have thetr own electric light and water works system. The necessity of the latter wss aoaoiute la order to have perfect fire protection. There Is no place In the whole plant that cannot ba reached by their hote and a very powetful stream Is thrown. The electric lights are not only a great advantage over other systems of lights bat they are much safer. The light is applied by a dynamo and there are 200 incandescent and arc lights on. theolr. cult. The engine for this vest amount ot achinery is a beautiful and powerful engine oi none power. It was At Port Arthur Contest Japanese Ap proach Baltic Fleet Again ktalti Chee Koo, Nov 5 Reports from Del ay, gives further details of the state ot affairs at Port Arthur on November 3rd. It is said the Ruaalana are husbanding ammunition only to fire during actual assaults, and tliat practically all the whole Russian garrison ia living under ground in boom prcof caves. This todi- ates that even If the J apaneae (obtain possession of the commanding points it will not give them the fortress bnt ihey will have to fight until the latt foot of ground has been occupied. Tangier, Nov. 5 The Russian Baltic fleet are again en route for the far east. The remainder of the vessels sailed this morning. RUSSIA'S UNDERGROUND ESCAPED CONVICT CAUGHT. Punta Gorda, Fla. November 4th. Ed Journal. Since our laet, somethings and chinges have ocenrred In and around Punta Gjrda, mostly In the way of moving, transferring, coming and going emigrat ing and Immigrating. Some have moved In and a few have moved ont Some property has changed Lands while some few persons have bought and built. Since the storm, which last- d seven da) s, the weather has been delightful for the fall farmer! and truckers. Tho fruit, such as pines, gripe fruit. oranges, lemons, tangerines, etc are being sLipped by the cat loada every day, So It Is with fish. The late storm did aome damage to the fishlnz business, for a weoit, but it is all right there. There was no damage to fruit, as Punta Gorda didn't get the storm centre only one aide of it. The oysters too, are getting good and the clams, concks, ihrimps, etc, are be - ginning to take a place In .the industrial world. We saw some of the largest clams and concks, last week we ever saw, some clams we saw, weighed 4 lbs each and 8 conchs out of a bushel we saw weigh ed 21 pounds, one of these weighed 8 pounds; They were brought up down the bay, near the gulf by Captain Dan Ward. Up to last Tuesday the 1st Inst we had had no rata since the storm and was getting dry again. ; Mrs Dan Ward has a right nice gar den just , planted and all coming up nicely. She has sweet potatoes as large as one's arm, set ont In September young tomatoes and radish, etc. Our pines are nlco too, but later than some, have only marketed a few as yet, we have only, a small pinery.' Yesolrbr has been sick for over a week with severe bilious attack. We feel better today and hope soon to be able to get out again. The local news Is not very intsresting to many N C people, but many have friends here they would like to hear from, especially If they are doing well Many N C men and women too, are dom idled In Fla, and a great many of these are In Punta Gorda. Some are doing well, others not so well, but we believe it is their own fault. If they are not doing well, some love to drink and carouse, spend their money unneces sarily get In debt, and won't pay, there- by making a bad name among strang ers. Mr W H Webb has quit his mall route job and Is on a beat now with his nephew, Capt Floyd Sewell. Cspts Early and Rlgdon Weeks are running fish for B W Smith and Com pany.

Janes Davis, alias Will Robii air, a State convlot, who escaped latt Jane from the convict camp at Dover, was captured at Jacksonville, last FriJay, by officers Lupton aad Bryan, and $ ester day he waa teturaid to the cus oJy of the officers of the penitentiary. Davis was sent up from New banuver county for a term of three year "or lar ceny. He wss at'gaed to work at the Dover camp and Ms eacape was adver tised with the reward at that time, Metsrs Lupton and Bryan rs entitled to much credit for their part In getting the man for he haa the reputation o being very cunning. Mr Lupton located him at first in Pamlico county last sum mer, but circumstances prerentel him from srresllng Davis then. An attempt to get htm failed aa he left Pamlico and came to New Bern. Davis was In New Bern during carni val week and waa arrested here for dis orderly conduct. He gave hlB name aa Will Robinson and has been known by that name In this section slnee his es cape, lie ua been in Jacksonville tor some time and It was learned by the ot- fleers that he was engaged in a fight there with some other negroes and aeverely beaten. When the Informant told Mr Lupton of the fight mentioning Will Robinson the name of the victim he at once associated the facts with those of his career here and concludtd he was the man who was wanted. Friday the officer! went to Jacksoville and arrestee Davis- Mr Lupton was ab'e to identify tin man in another way quite unusual. He bad te?n Informed of a peculiar trait themsnhsdof speaking his thoughts ucgbardetfly when tiken by surprise. He tested the information on Davis and was successful.

Tbe Home Telephone and Telegraph Oo are making good progress on tin completion of their lines ami aervice Aa tar aa the pubilo are cone-' nud be work la completed but many oe.tniis are to be attended to yet, In order to ge the best results from It. The new switch bosrd is a most inter estlng Instrument to watch and inn case to understand. It is construct on the Central Energy syettini whlcn teim means that the electric app lances are all within the exchange. The power of operation is derived from them en tlrely. The switch board is arranged for 500 subscribers, and has four sec tlons, each section requiring an operator When a subscriber calls a light shows at a small disc Indicating that a call haa been made by a patron. At the aame time tbe drop showing the number of the applicant flutters in its place and remains closed and the connection with the party detired ia obtained. The method of making the connection Is much the same aa that used by any ex change but new ideas also prevail there and a person who does not understand the technical workings of tbe phone is lost In the endeavor to comprehend it The exchange operators have to con tend with some things that perhaps are not known to the public that the latter should be understand. One 1 that it annoys the operator for a party to be constantly ' ringing up" c antral by means of playing the receiver. The act of removing the receiver Is sufficient to warn the exchange that a call is made. Another practice is. common and that is the habit of leaving the receiver off the hook when a conversation Is com pleted. It Is Impossible to ring that number up when the receiver Is out of place. It Is not necessary to speak through the phone above an ordinary tone of voice and the telephone is so construct ed that one can not be understood so well when he talks in a loud tone as when he talks low. The improvement Is an extensive and a costly one, but It is not begrudged by the company who are always ami us to serve the best Interests of the public They have been provided with tho best telephone system posstble.both for local use or for communicating with other cities. borne are disposed to complain on ac count of rates.
