A commercial periodical ealls atten tion to the great amount of advertising being done just now in the two Kansas City newspapers, the Star and Times, by the higher schools and colleges, and notes this as indicating the prosperity now prevailing in the west. By the same sign, increased school and college advertising, to look over the daily newspapers of North Carolina there must be a notable absence of pros pc i.y in North Carolina, juat at prei cut, as an examination oi the leading daily newspapers will show, for looking over three of the Sunday newspers, in three of the largest cities, in one there is one advertisement, the second has less than two columns, and the third about four columns, nearly one half be ing of educational institutions outside of North Carolina. And yet there are no signs of hard times in this State, crops have about averaged the same, while prices are for cotton and tobacco equal if not above the average. Do the educational institutions in North Carolina feci that there is no necessity in presenting their claims for recognition and patronage, or do they think times are not prosperous enough for the fathers, mothers and guardians with children or wards to read their ad vertisements and be inspired by the reading to send the youth intrusted to their care, to one of the State institu tions of education? As for the North Carolina State news papers, daily and weekly, their efforts have ever been continuous for educa tional advancement, and no institution of education but has received many free write ups from the State press, which certainly deserves all patronage possi ble from these higher colleges. It would seem as if there was some thing lacking in the educational advance ment in North Carolina if the failure of the educational institutions to more fully present their claims for patronage and so let the world know and under stand that education may be found at home for the North Carolina boy and girl, instead of going to some other where the colleges and schools are not sl )w to present their educational claims AUTOMOBILES AND fc GOOD ROADS. The local disposition in this city to ac cept new methods and new things, in other words to be up-to-date, is illus trated in the way of automobiles, this city being among the first, if not the first in North Carolina, to run these ma chines on its streets. : .. But with effort in road improve ments in this city and county, rather a serious falling off, automobiles were not kept prominent here as means for rapid . and convenient transit, and until a few , - months ago, when there was every in 1 dication that the local feeling was ', to . wards good roads, there has developed an interest in the automobile and a number of these road machines are now to be seen on the streets of New Bern, with orders for a number more of these rapid transit vehicles . to be brought -: here.. .' : , ,:- At the meeting of the road overseers several weeks ago, action was recom mended in the way of a special tax for road improvement, the eighth township - in which this city lies, being requested to make first, and at the magistrates meeting a few weeks afterwards, an order for this special tax was adopted, so that within a short time better roads, possibly even what may be called good roads will be found in this city and township. , It h nut that good toads and the tax for them is to be made to favor the au-tomobili-s interests, only, but every '.'Tier df nny kind of locomotion who ducements to the fanner with his pro duce to come to the town which has such approaches, as do the good roads to those who travel over them for recre ation. -.V':.V"; ::'y,":'-'L-i A tax for any specific public improve ment cannot be considered a burden, much less can a good roads tax be held as something to be opposed, for, with good roads, all property values increase as does the business of a town to which good roads lead, over which the farmer may the more easily bring his products thus increasing the commercial pros perity. . Good roads mean higher civili zation, and therefore a higher moral lone in the communities where they are to be found. ' ; v"; ii( Quinine Tab lets.

Good roadways are a public neces- sity, and equally so are lines of transportation, which place every see tion of a city in close connection, and leading from a city, give the resides tial portion the chance to expand, and opens up sub-divisions near a city, where every working man may have and own his own house and lot. And as has often been shown in these columns, New Bern's resident portion is crowded, houses are being erected in too close proximity for com fort or safety, and even with this crowding, the demand for houses is be yond the supply. This means not only that this city is growing in population, but also that the portion for residence building is fully occupied. This can only result in the extension of the city's boundaries, and to prove the necessity that trans portation lines, electric or one ( qually as good, must be constructed and run to meet the city's increasing demands, that its people may be quickly and cheaply transported from all sections of the city. Just how this is to be obtained, the transportation lines, is to be seen. If not locally, there is every chance for outside capital to invest in this trans portation business, And while it is delayed, so must any important devel opment of New Bern be held in check. But it cannot long be delayed for the progress of this city is too urgent in its demands for such quick transit for its business interests. How's This.

Too much care cannot be used with small children during the hot weather of the summer months to guard against bowel troubles. As a rule it is only necessary, to give the child a dose of castor oil to correct any disorder of the bowels. Do not use any substitute, but give the old-fashioned castor oil, and see that it Is . fresh, as rancid oil nauseates and has a tendency to gripe! If this does not check the bowels give Cliamberlain's Colic, Cholera ' nnd Diarrhoea Remedy , and then a dose of castor oil, and the disease may be chet-ked in its incipiency and all dan ger avoided. The castor oil and" this remedy should be procured at once and kept ready for instant we us soon as the first indication of tiny bowel trou ble aj prars.

He declares that two-thirds of the liquor sold goes to persons out of town, or rather is bought by them and that most of the drunks are foreign. A lot of money spent for whiskey under the bar room system is spent for victuals and clothes under the dispensary system, yet for too much much whiskey is not under the dispensary system, The dis pensary will, it is declared be continued There is a new feature in the fight against it, this being that the anti-dispensary forces, the liquor men are try ing to down Senator Simmons, the author of the Watts law.

Wttsos Will Test Them And Settle A Big Doubt. Yesterday's police court was some thing a little out of ordinary and to put it as the dramatic critic would tell it, the court began as melo drama and ended as farce comedy. The trouble was all over the Sunday closing of restaurants and places where, ice cream soft drinks and cigars are. sold. The question has been a much mooted one and the action was not so much a wil ful violation of the law as a means to an end to test the validity of the law. Sunday three 01 these places men tioned were watched by policemen and persons were seen passing in and out of them, an action at variance with the ordinance and which offense is punish able by a heavy fine. Chief , Hargett is determined that each ' one of these laws shall be enforced until the unavai! ability of any one of them is confessed after which a repeal is the better dis position of it. -;V ; :v The result of the policemen's watch Km Sunday was that 105 names of mer who were seen to go into these forb d- den places. The mere fact , that the persons went into the places was suf ficient for the inditing of names, tht question whether they bought anything or not cut no figure. There . were onlj a few witnesses at the trial. The first one up was Mr. John B Watson,' who was arrested on ; th charge of wilfully and unlawfully con ducting business by selling merchan dise on the Sabbath day. , He plead net guilty. Officer C. Lupton testineo that he was stationed on the market dock and took the names of all that he knew whom he saw going into or com ing fiom Mr. Watson's restaurant. He did not know whether they bought any thing or not. ' Officer Lon Bryan stated that r e wag taking names at the same place in tht afternoon. He saw sujpicious actions, but was unable to tell whether any thing was bought or sold. ' Special officer L. H. Banks said that on Sunday night he saw persons gi- into Mr. Watson's place and fill some glasses out of a keg and place them on the counter, he could not tell whether any one drank them or not. Mr. Parsons said he went in the store between 9 and 10 o'clock at night to get his supper, saw no drinking nor buying of drinks nor of anything else. Mr. Charles Brinson's testimony was essentially the same as Mr. Parsons. Mr. Watson's statement in his own defense was that he runs a restaurant and has regular boarders, many of them fishermen. He serves meals on Sunday as he does on every other day of the week. He does not sell intoxi cating liquor at any time, nor any ar tide popularly known as "soft drink'! on Sunday. , He has always been al lowed to conduct his restaurant on Sunday and had" construed the law to exclude him from its provisions. . Mayor Patterson said that the evi dence was against the defendant and that he had violated the ordinance and he had no other-alternative than to im pose a fine of ten dollars and costs. The defendant gave notice of an appeal and gave $25 bond to appear in crimi nal court. . - Mr. James B. Dawson submitted to the charge and as Mr. Watson was going to make a test, his case, in the court, he would await ' developments. He was fined ten dollars and costs. The case of Isaac Simmons, colored, also arrested on the same charge. The evidence against him was that he was conducting business after night Satur day. Special officer L. H. Banks stat ing he saw a number of people in the store after closing hours. Simmons was fined ten dollars and costs. ' They Appeal to Our Sympathies .

" New York, Aug. 22.r-"A decision has been handed down in the United States Circuit Court by Judge Ray, in the action of Charles Scrlbner & Sons and the Bobbs-Merrill Company against h. H. Macy & Co. for an injunction to restrain Macy's from selling copyright books at less than the retail prices fixed by the Publishers' 'Association, which will have a far-reaching effect' on 'all trade combinations." says The New York World.. I "Stephen H. Olin and ex-Attorney General W. H, H. Miller appeared for the complainants, and ex-Secretary of the United States Treasury John G. Carlisle, and Edmond E. Wiso for Macy's. 'Judge Ray gives a sweeping de cision in favor of R. H. Macy & Co., lismissing the complaint and s verely criticising the combination of publish ers and booksellers, which he holds to se in violation of the Sherman Anti- rtustLaw. Editorially the New York Journal says: The firm of R. H. Macy & Co. ren- lered a really great service to tee pub ic at large and to the interests of the immunity in their, fight against the 3ook Trust. ,.,!,-. 1 .."The Book Trust alleged its right to 'orbid retailers to Bell books below a :ertain price fixed by the trust. "Macy Sl Co., acting in behalf of the purchasing public, maintained in the wurts, at considerable expense, their eight to sell merchandise bought by them for whatever price they pleased, "The case was heard before Judge Ray in the United' States Circuit Court, Isidor Straus and Nathan Straus, part ners, appearing under the firm of R. H Macey & Co., in behalf of the public and the rights of the individul business man.. ."';.'- c V ' ..;; X "The thanks of the public are due to R. H. Macy & Co., for the fight they made against this particular form of trust oppression. And still greater thanks are due to Judge Ray . for this excellent opinion, in which he sustains the action of Messrs. Straus appearing in behalf of the public interests. "It is to be hoped that the get-rich-quick gentlemen who propose to get such money, from the public by making themselves lords and masters of pur chaser, retailer and all others will take to heart the lesson that is taught them in the opinion quoted above."
