': I rt. 1 Ik A New Departure In Industrial Cum-paigning. National. Biscuit Company Sends Special Representatives to New Bern on 'Most Important Mission. New Bern has been invader1. For the time being it is the headquarters of the special reception and exhibition committee of, the National Biscuit Com pany, who are now in the city. Al ready evidences of their coming are ap-V parent, and there is' more to follow. I The purpose of their visit 'will be ac complished tomorrow afternoon, when a reception will be given at the Naval Reserves Armory, to which all the ladies of New Bern and vicinity are cordially invited. , The object of the entire undertaking is to enable the public to satisfactorily answer the now celebrated question, "Do You Know Uneeda Biscuit?" and incidentally acquaint them with many other delicious products of the baker's art as manufactured by the National Biscuit Company. :; " . The popularity of Uneeda Biscuit has teen earned within the last five years,' and is an ..example of good business judgment Six years ago the National Biscuit Company came to thecon.-luai. n that tho time had arrived when the American public was ready for some thing better than . the common soda crackers put on the market in barrels and boxes, delivered to the consumer in a paper bag, more or less damaged and defiled, without a sponsor and with out a name. The idea was, first a crackea as nearly culinary perfection as it . was possible to manufacture. Then to protect this perfection by in closing it in a package which should ex clude all air, dust and moisture, and finally to guarantee the whole to the consumer by the trade mark of the National Biscuit Company on each end of the package. Of the appreciation of the consumer the sale of more than three hundred million packages of Uneeda Biscuit bears the best wit ness. . ; The same methods that have- proved so successful with Uneeda Biscuit have also .been t extended by the National Biscuit Co npany to many other lines of biscuit; crackers and Wafers, such as Butter Thin Biscuit Graham Crackers, Oycterettes, Social Tea Biscuit Zu Zu Ginger Snaps and others. , No' matter what is wanted, whether a cracker for the soup, or the most delicious wafer for dessert it can be purchased any time, anywhere, '- with the absolute surety of always getting it fresh and good. -":-:"W v , . Nabisco Sugar Wafers and Festino Almonds are two of the delicacies that will be served with the refreshments at the reception. They are among the mj st delicious of the products of the National Biscuit Company, and are es pecially appropriate as dessert confec tions. Every lady in New Bern is cordially invited and should be present at the re ception which will be held at the Naval Reserves Armory tomorrow afternoon, from two until five o'clock.' Appro priate refreshments will be served un der the supervision of a chef who ac companies the reception committee. The musical features of- the entertain ment will be ably rendered by Reale's Orchestra, and a hearty welcome ex tended to every suest Col. V.'addell Wins. . .In the primary election held aj Wil mington yesterday, in which W, E- Springer, the present Incumbent, and CoU A. M. Waddell were candidates for Mayor, Col.

CRIMINAL COURT TRANSACTIONS, Trials Ars Judgment Made VfHk Dispatch By Soliclter And Jedge. The cases tried in the criminal court moved off with ease and the cases on the docket were perceptibly lessened. A good number of trivial cases were dis posed of and some were not even given to the jury. " '' . One of the most important cases was that of the State vs John Gilley, the defendant was tried on the charge of assault with Intent to kill. The specific cnarge waa pushing f rame addou unM ucr um Auanuc ioasi lid tram on November 16, the train running over his arm causing injuries necessitating am putation. The jury returned verdict of guilty as in the indictment which was for assault with intent to kill. The judgment waa that the defendant serve six months in jail and that he be put to work on the county roads. . State vs Isom Wright for larceny of money from the overcoat of Capt. G. Jones at Clarks Brick yard. W,f evidence in the case being deemed sufficient the judge took it from the jury and rendered a judgment of not guilty. State vs Chapman, assault with dead ly weapon. Prisoner plead guilty and was sentenced to four months in the county jail or to pay a fine of $25. He fine. , v;::.';'.;;.''':.v:::;: State vs William Bell, for larceny of a hog from John Dennis. After hear ing the evidence a verdict of not guilty was rendered. . State vs Lewis Green, assault with deadly weapon. Defendant plead guilty and was fined five dollars and costs. State vs Elijah Slade for abandon ment Defendant was found guilty and judgment was suspended upon the pay ment of costs. ' In the cases of George Can-away, in dicted for murder and E. S. .Ballenger for the illegal sale of intoicating liquor the grand jury returned, not true bills. The former case was one in which the aeienaant snot ana Kiuea a negro in self defense at his home a few miles from New Bern. The latter was for the sale of beverages claimed to be in' toxicating. The defendant asserted that be never knwingly sold liquors of the nature nnmed in the indictment con fining his sales entirely to beverage known as "soft drinks." His state ment was taken in good faith by the officers of the court The iast case to be argued was State vs Randolph Yelverton for the illegal sale of liqupr. This matter has been in the courts or on the docket lor a year or more and is a "blind tiger" case. The jury rendered a verdict of not guilty. . IS IT YOUNG BEASLEY? BoyAsd Abductor laid te Ol At lock - Motist, N. C. -Norfolk, Va, Pilot 12th. Unless unexpected developments oc cur young Kenneth Beasiey, who was spirited away from the home of his father, State Senator Beasley, at Pop lar Branch, N. C, in February, will be in the hands of two Norfolk police de tectives at Rocky Mount N. C. today, and it is also probable that arrests may be made there in connection with the kidnapping. Detectives Paul Rose and Sam Cot ton, of the Norfolk department went to Rocky Mount yesterday and a long dis tance telephone message from Police Chief Davis of that place to the Virgin ian-Pilot last night stated that the two officers were busily engaged on the case. ' ''7 Just what cle.v has been found to carry the search to Rocky Mount can not be learned because all parties interest ed in the search are reticent on the sub ject. It is understood however that the strongest belief is entertained by the police and father of the missing boy that Kenneth is being held captive near Rocky Mount and that he will be secured by the Norfolk detectives to day.".

Immeaae Volm and Varrina Moodl ' at Urn Yellow Flasd. "The Mississippi river' has an Irre sistible attraction for a person of Im aginative mind, but perhaps Its most Impressive characteristic Is the majes ty with which Its turbid, yellow tide sweeps along between the shores, Im pressive by its sullen murmur and in spiring awe by Its immense volume," said a traveler. - "Tho river is sublime no matter when or iVhere you view it, and one has only to catch a glimpse of the yellow flood, veiled by rain or glistening In the sun shine, to fall beneath its spell. At times the river moves so smoothly and peacefully that you are almost lulled to sleep by the gentle purring of the wa ter, that constant eddying and washing sound that Is distinctive of the Missis sippi. Then, again, the water will swirl angrily around a hidden snag or rush ing with impetuosity against the yield ing bluffs It will eat into the earth, and tons of dirt will rumble down only to be absorbed and swept away. Per haps for a moment the water will as sume a chocolate color, but the Influx of yellow tide from above will soon dis sipate every trace of what wns once nn ncre of cotton field. .-Sometimes there ore trees growing along the shore that are engulfed. These fall with a cnui into the flood, spin about for a moment and then drift slowly down with the current, their half drowned bongbs ris ing at Intervals from the water." Bir mingham Age-Herald. There are larger birds than the fla mingo and birds with more brilliant plumage, but no other large bird is so brigttly colored, and no other brightly colored bird Is so large. In brief, slse and beauty of plume united reach their maximum of development In this re markable bird, while the open nature of its haunts and Its gregarlousness aeem specially designed to display Its marked characteristics of form and color to the most striking advantage. When to these more superficial attrac tions Is added the fact that little or nothing is known of the nesting habits of this singular bird, one may in a measure at least realize the intense longing of the naturalist not only to behold a flamingo city, without ques tion the most striking sight in the bird world, but at the same time to lift the veil through which the flamingo's borne life has been but dimly seen.
