HUE RIGHT EIGHT Against Abolishment Compulsory Pilotage Bill. Ward's Liquor Bill Party Politics. South Dakota Bond matter. Geoleglcal Survey. Filly Eight Coun ties Ask Aid. Raleigh, Feb. 11. The Ward liquor regulation bill has passed the Senate by a good majority and members . of the House say it has passed that body by quite a large one. It is agreed on by the Democrats as a party measure, to to a considerable extent, though some of the party are opposing it, these of course saying that they will bow to the party will. This bill was prepared by Senator Simmons during his visit here nbout the time of the first Democratic caucus and the design of it is to strength en the Walts bill which Senator Simmons and Gov. Aycock drafted and to give more complete control of the liquor situation, which is felt to be dangerous in many respects. Of course it puts out of action the distillery' towns, against which there is so much feeling and is quite a knock out to the big lobby which is yet here and hard at work. The distillers are not only work in2 hard themselves but they are spend ing a great deal of money for coun- Tho biu to ai)oHsh compulsory pilo- tage on the Cape Fear River is certain- ly giving a great deal of trouble. It has boon before a committee three nights until a very late hour and last .- ,. ... iii. nmht was discussed until one o clock aml then th-e committee went into cxe Icutive session upon it and appointed a sub - committee to consider the wnote ... . . matter and report. Mr- Pence, the Washington Corres pondent to the Morning Post tells a story of how South Dakota expects to get every cent for the Western North Carolina bonds outstanding, by spend ing what it expects to get from North Carolina on the outstanding judgment of the Supreme court in buying bonds from the New York firm which has them, and which will sell them at a dis count, having offered the State a dis count. When A. G. Rieaud was leav- in3 here, after his failure to get this State to accee to tne demands of Scha- fer Bros, of New York he said another pan WOuld be carried out though he could not reveal it, and this must be the one. No doubt the whole thing had been planned some time ago, perhaps by some of the sharpest lawyers in New York and Washington men are lots sharper than the North Carolina ex-politicians who have been concerned in the scheme. The geological survey will issue to morrow a booklet covering the deposits of tin in North and South Carolina, the result of very careful observation and H will be sent anywhere on receipt of four cents. It was impossible.to divide the deposits in the two States. The South Carolina survey is issuing a simi lar publication covering the deposits in both States. This afternoon the committee on agriculture heard argument against the bill to abolish the geological survey and decided to report it unfavorably. The introducer of the bill said he had been asked to introduce and did not appear to know anything about the effect it would have..

Governor Glenn Recommends Action on South Dakota Bonds. t His Opinion. Special to Journal. Raleigh, Feb. 11.- Governor Glenn sent'lo the Legislature another mes sage regarding the South Dakota bond suit; .saying; "Taere remain onjy three courses to be pursued;:first, to compromise on some fair terms jt.second, pay it; third, let the slock ' be sold as ordered by the United States Supreme Court, and the proceeds be used to satisfy the judg ment. As to the 242 bonds held by Schafer .Bros. , what is best to be done? Counsel for the bond holders wrote me they were authorized to accept for the 242 bonds $302,500. These bonds are Lhenest, not belonging, to the fraudulent tax bonds class, but were sold after the State, had passed into the hands of in competent men, below par, and paid for in depreciated currency, not ever a fourth their true value. We have made an honest effort to settle them, but the bond holders refuse to settle at our price. As long as they remain in tl e hands of Schafer Bros, we cannot be molested, and they will have to find some Sto.c willing to buy them, before we can be interferred with by more suits. In my opinion no State will give any considerable amount for them. will not recommend acceptance of the offer of &i02,500, because I think it too much, more than the bond holders ought. to expect. If they will meet us m a fair settlement I recommen:! adjust ment at this term of the Legislature. If not, let them bring suit." VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. Wants Commission to Sell. Editor Journal.

DISFIGURED WITIIECZEMA Under Physicians Five Months. Went from Bad to Worse. CURED BY CUTICURA Wonderful Change in One Night. In a feh Face Was Clean as Ever. " I was troubled with eczema on the face for five montUa, during which time I was in the Care of phy3ciaus. My face rns iu such a condition that I could not go out. It wa9 going from bad to worse and I gave up all hope, when a friend of mine highly recommended Cuticura remedies. Tlie fiyf.t night after I washed my face with Suticura Soap and used Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolv; -tt it changed wonderfully, and continuing the treatment it removed all scales and scabs.

Sale of the Water Works. Etc. Editor Journal. The bill now before the Legislature concerning the sale of the city water works system, sewerage system and idectrio liht plant, means a good deal to the city of New Bern. Should the property be sold for $150,000 or $200,000 all the city's indebtedness could be paid and there would be a surplus of $50,000 or upwards which could be used for paving and improving some of the d reels. By paying the debt the city would ro.ve several thousand dollars oach year which it is now paying out for interest on the bonded indebtedness and as all of this property would be put immediately upon the tax books the city as well as the stite and county would iret several thousand dollars a year for taxes not collected now. Besides the property now in existence, the street railway property which will, as the subscriber understands the proposition, be required of the purchaser of the water works, sewerage and electric light plants, will be worth probably $250,000 or $300,000, all of which will be taxed. Should the city property be sold upon the contract that the purchaser must establish and maintain a street railway it would mean employment for a great many men for the next year or so and permanent employment for enough men to operate the railway system, water works etc. It is believed that better service can be obtained from a private concern than from the city although the gentlemen now in charge of the plants have performed their duties and managed the property as well as can be iXpected of any public officers. By putting the property in the hands of a private corporation our citizens and patrons of the water works would have greater protection than they have now because if the water supply should fail in case of fire, and damage result therefrom the loser would have an ac Hon arainst the company which could be enforced through the courts. A meeting has been called Thursday night to consider the passage of the bill authorizing the sale ot this property, Upon the right conditions a sale would without doubt be a great thing for this town. The Dill wnicn was puuiwiieu m your paper last week authorizes the board of aldermen and mayor to make .... i l l ! the sale upon the best conditions to be obtained and one of the conditions should be that a street railway should be erected and operated and another should be that the cost of water, sew erage and electric lights should not be increased, ana a general provision umi the service should be extended and im proved. Let us have a street railway and paved streets. And let us get rid of an enormous debt and at the same time increase the taxable property oy several hundred thousand dollars. 1 AA-rA i civ. For the tonvenience of the people in terested the bill proposed is given. It ,1a bi fnllnwft! A Bill to be entitled an act to Provide For the Payment of the waeotea- ness of the City of New Bern.

HO BOHDS HltDtD As State Has Abundance of Money. $437,000 Above Expenses Says State Treas urer. Uninteresting Legislature. Gilts for Hall pi History. Weather Very Bad. De creased Use ol Ferti lizers. Raleigh, Feb 13. The weather con tinues very bad in this section, there having been another sleet yesterday, though a small one, rain following last night and a rising temperature taking away most of the snow. The ground is thawed on top, but as yet frozen to a considerable depth Members of the legislature state that they have a statement from the State Treasurer to the ertect that the receipts for this year and next year, including the balance in the treasury will aggre gate, $4,800,000, and that there will be some $437,000 in excess of expenses, From this they are urging that no bond issue will be necessary and some of them offered a bet that there will be no such issne. The advocates of a bond issue say it is a necessity. It is also claimed by the opponents of the plan to erect a new building for a Hall of Records that no step of this kind will be taken but that the matter will be postponed until two years hence any way. The policy of delay is a very popular one with some members. Tomorrow the legislature will have its first night session.. The session considerably more than half over and has certainly been one of the most un interesting ever held, certainly in the experience of your correspondent. Today the sub-committee appointed to look into the matter of the continu ance of the State Geological Board and Survey met, and State Geologist Holmes appeared before it, very happy to be given an opportunity to show what the survey has done for North Carolina and very full of information on that point. The code commission left out of the new code anything regarding the geolo gical survey on the ground, it is learned that the law regarding the latter was vague. It is expected that there will be verv (Treat decrease in the amount of commercial fertilizers used this season, and of course a corresponding diminu tion in the revenues of the agricultural department. The sales of fertilizers for cotton will very" quickly show whether the growers are complying with the terms of their compact to re duce the use of fertilizers at least 25 per cent Col. Arth ur Lillington Smith of Char lotte has presented to the Hall of His tory one of the ammunition boxes used on the Confederate Kam Albemarle, and it has been placed with the other relics of that vesse.1, which played such an important part in naval Operations in this state, until it was sunk. Major Joseph M. Morehead, tne presi dent of the Guilford battle ground com pany has presented to the Hall of His tory a superb collection or pnotographi illustrating the various monuments which adorn the grounds, which by the way are the only ones, so far as Revo lutionary battles are concerned, which are properly kept and marked through out the South. His devotion to the work is a monument to his patriotism and seal, both National and State.

They hear(, a semon in the morning and . iecture in the evcning both of which were interesting and instructive. Rev. Hinohara, a minister of the Methodist church of Japan and a graduate student of Trinity College, oc- cuj.iel the pulpit morning and night and made excellent talks. - He preached a sermon in the morn ing in which he spoke more or less of himself and his experience as a minister of the gospel. He was converted while young boy Bnd fini9hed his studies in that country getting his degree and came to America to finish his education He Bpeaks English well and is forceful and pleasing in thought and delivery. He gave a fine lecture at night on Japan as it was yesterday' and as it is today. The Missionary, he said, has done much for the improvement of the empire. The work of the Missionary of Christ being of a nature that civiliza tion made progress easily, the receptive mind of the Japanese realizing that their unselfish motives of the Chris? tians were the forces that were help? ing them as a nation in a material way, His lecture lasted about an hour but by his interesting manner he was able tp hold his audience well. He expects to return to his native country soon to preach the gospel and also to teach. Bad Breaks The Cause. Three or four acts of the President, to the outside world apparently not very important, contributed to this un happy misunderstanding which ' has arisen. As they all appeared to be in one line and have had a disastrous ef fect, possibly they may not inadequate ly be characterized as blunders. Yet that he has made them all naturally, must be admitted by those who know all the conditions surrounding them. The first was inviting to his table a ne gro. The second was the removal of a post-affice by way of puninhment of a community because a negro postrmis tress had been intimidated into resign ing the office. The third was the ap pointment of a negro as the Collector of the Port of Charleston, the proudest, most aristocratic and most sensitive city in the country, and his re-appointment, again and again, after the Senate Committee had refused to confirm him. The fourth was the shuttiug down on the movement to establish in the South a White Republican Party. .The fifths sentence in a speech on Decoration Pay in which he was reported to have re? ferred to the Confederate soldiers in connection with anarchists. It may be said at once that this sentence was misinterpreted. Finally, arid giving edge to all these, was the poignant dis appointment of the South that the President, half Southerner as he was, should so little have understood her condition and her needs.
