BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR 1906
With thia the first week of the yeai
1906, the matter of business, and ite
outlooi is of special importance. Th
. close of 1905 was a strong one in busi
ness circles of all kinds, and there were
no hesitating signs, as have marked
previous years at their close, which
gave the business world a gloomy out
look, and made trade and manufactur
ing interests enter upon the new yeai
with fear and apprehension.
But as with the close of 1905, so does
' 1906 enter, full of business hope, con
fidence in all lines of trade, so that 190(
promises to be a year of marked . ad
vancement in all material, industrial
and business circles.
A few failures near the close of 190E
were shocks in some degree to financial
interests. But such exposures of reck
less financiering, while they may exhibit
dishonesty, yet being fully brought tc
. light, the penalty paid, : the business
world is helped, for it offers a check or
all like attempts of reckless if not
dishonest business methods, and causer
a scrutiny to be made into every ques-
. tionable businesi matter, with a clear
ing up, where just suspicions may b
found.
A cloud, in the way of the possibility
of a strike in the coal mines, nex
April, causes some fear, if it shal
develop into a serious affair. That ii
may develop, cannot be denied, so that
.there must be Borne anxiety until the
time passes, and the strike shall fail to
materialize. But there are certainties
for good business and trade to far off
set this possible strike, an important
certainty, being the great amount of
farm products which are assurances of
prosperity, and give a bright outlook
in every circle of business for the year
upon wnich we are now entering.
THE SECOND YEAR OF LOCAL PRO
HIBiriOlt New Bern is entering upon its second
year of prohibition, that is under laws
which prohibit the sale of spirituous
liquors in this city. -
To those who favor prohibition from
principle, and those who favored it
enough to vote for closing up the sa
loons in New Bern, there is much to
consider in the local phases of the situ
ation, in this the commancement of the
last year of the' law,, which was voted
for in July 1904.
First, as to those who voted, for
prohibition from principle, are they
satisfied with results, that is honestly
satisfied, that the doing away with sa
loons, has wrought desirable moral ef
fects, for they could take no othtr
grounj for their desire for prohibi
tion?,'; ,;Y,:-v, .'-'.w':;
, Second, how do tho who voted for
prohibition, . because ot personal in
fluence or fear,' feel on the question?
Are they satisfied that they did tie
r'. U tiling in voting and securing s ao-
c .ii I dry town?
T: are the two important elassea
ef cl; ns who ought to consider quiet
ly ti 1 thoughtfully, and act conscitn
i . As to the other cl.es, which
I i, .t vote, or t-L e voted for

those who had sent them here, filled
with whiskey. ;
These two recalled instances are pe
culiarly distasteful to the Journal; but
being local happenings) they go to
make up local history of the day. No
citizen can rejoice, even be pleased
with such local news, which depicts
the frailty of humanity, and perhaps
of many who had promised and voted
against whiskey being drunk or sold in
this city. '"
But this record in a city whose citi
zenship by so large a majority voted
against liquor selling, which naturally
ought to imply being' against liquor
drinking, this record is a most terrible
one. It shows inconsistency upon the
part of many of those who by their vote,
or not voting, cast votes for a strict
ly prohibition city. It indicates a weak
ness that must prove fatal in its sup
port of a moral movement, for such
must be the situation in the absence oi
liquor selling and liquor drinking.
Enough has been written at this
time, however, and it is written in the
hope that prohibition may be actually
more real during 1906, and have it said
co New Bern's disgrace that its citi
lens voted for a law and ' then fail to
ive up to it in truth and fact, but in
rtead quietly ignore the open violation
of the
aooks.

A MUCH NEEDED PUBUCATI'JN
The Atlantic and and North Carolina
Company, through its Land and Indus
trial Department, has just issued a pub
lication showing the character of the
country through which the A. & N. C
railroad passes. The publication ii
compact and attractive, and in five
hapters covers pretty thoroughly the
several subjects, Eastern N. C. ; Anlm
Tiense Market Garden; Climate and
Soil; What the Truck Farmers Say;
Winter Gardening at New Bern.
The booklet terms Eastern North
Carolina the Market Garden of thi
South; and in its forty pages of illus
trations and compiled reading matter,
proves pretty conclusively its conten
tion that this section is a veritable gar
den. To the Journal there is nothing
new in tm publication, , yet thit
little booklet the Journal must say is 8
publication very greatly needed as
proving in a single edition what this
paper has been declaring for years.
And more than this, the booklet shows
that this section is not merely a truck
garden producing vegetables enough to
611 every northern market, but it shows
that this section can raise more than
vegetables, that other things can be
brought from the soiL or developed'
upon the soil, and that climate and soil
combined form a union which can pro.
duce more than just potatoes and cab
bages, but that fruits and stock can
be raised, and that in this section no
finer climate may be found during the
winter months for those persons who
wish to escape the cold and snows of
the north, and do not wish to live in a
climate like Florida, which is enervat
ing to most visitors.
. Too much importance has been at
tached to this Eastern Carolina section,
for its trucking advantages, and this
has caused severe losses to men who
have staked their all upon raising tre
mendous crops of potatoes or cabbages,
or some one or two other truck crops,
all for shipment to northern markets,
instead of raising for home wants, and
also raising crops of less perishable
nature, but which would prove equally
valuable in money returns.
In this booklet, issued by the A. &
N, C Co., while it gives some startling
figures on trucking profits, yet goes
beyond this, and in so doing benefits
this section from an advertising point
of view, for it shows that this section
is a varied one in its climate and soil,
and in its crop producing capabilities.
It is a valuable publication, and to Mr.
Fred L. Merritt, manager of the At
lantic and North Carolina Company's,
Land and Industrial Department, the
excellence of the publication is largely
due. Its distribution is certain to
prove of great value to the people who
issue the booklet, as well as to the
people of this section who own prop

STATE CCNVtCT CA8IPS
Whites and Blacks Chained and Sleeping
Together. Stats Regulatioa Needed.
Special to Journal.
Raleigh, Jan. 2. -The State Board of
Charities in session here presented the
annual report to Governor Glenn. It
says, there are convict camps inS2
counties and that in twenty of these,
the races are useing cots white and
black, sleeping chained together.
There are 890 of these county convicts,
32 being under sixteen years of age.
Whipping being the usual punishment,
and the misdemeanors being treated
exactly like the felons. The Board
says if these convict camps are to . re
main under county jurisdiction, they
certainly ought to be subject to State
regulation and inspection.

Dangers ot a Cold and How to Avoid Themi
' More fatalities have their origin in or
result from a cold than from any other
cause. This fact alone should make
people more careful as there is no dan
ger whatever from a cold when it
properly treated in the beginning. For
many years Chamberlain's Cough Rem-
ady has been recognized as the most
prompt and effectual medicine in use
for this disease. It acts on nature's
plan, loosens the cough, relieves the
lungs, opens the secretions and aids na
ture in restoring the system to
healthy condition. Sold by Davis Phar
macy and F. S. Duffy.

Interesting Services.
On Sunday, December 31, although
a very disagreeable day a large congre
gation assembled at Christ Church, the
usual services were held by Rev. Mr.
Williams, whn recently has taken
charge of the Parish as Rector. Mr,
Williams by his great earnestness in all
good works has endeared himself to our
community. . . "... i
At night by invitation the Elks at
tended the services. At midnight a
watch service was held to witness the
outgoing of the old and the ' incoming
of the New Year. : ,
On the 1st of January a large num
ber of children and grown persons as-
semb'ed at the church and after servic
es a procession was formed and march
ed to the new Parish House. A large
tree laden with presents and a house for
Santa Claus had been erected and soon
the distribution of the presents began
and doubtless every child present re
ceived one. An old-time source of
amusement, a Scramble Bag had been
placed by Mr, William IL Oliver and
saw the fun began. One of the boys
was blind-folded anl with a stick he
was to break the bag which was filled
with' various kinds of nuts, together
with a number of new pennies which
were so bright they shone as gold
pieces. As soon as the bag was untied
the scrumble commenced and several
children went in pell-mell to secure some
of the contents. It was certainly a

NEW EERN NEEDS
A UNION STATION
Travelling Public Will Appreciate Such An
Institution. Hustle For It,
New Bern is entitled to a union de
pot We have three railroads here and
the increasing passenger business is a
factor of no small . importance to our
interests. While it is true that the
depots are situated near " each other it
is obvious to any one that the accora
modatior a for transfer are very poor
and they can be corrected only by the
construction of a union station. For
many other reasons we should have it.
We believe that many bad features of
the local depot service which at pres
ent seem to be unavoidable will be
eliminated by having the station. And
when other roads are built into the
city, under the present system the
several depots would be more nuisance
than help. This is, of course anticipat
ing the realization of some of the
rumors now current and there is no
reason to doubt that another railroad
will be built to New Bern.
A central station is the desire of the
traveling public as wilt as all who wai t
to see New Bern thrive and prosper.
The attention of the Chamber ol
Commeice is respectfully called to this
natter and'the Journal Earnestly hopes
chat efforts will be made in further
ance of this proje"t and that the year
1906 will not pass befora such a struc
ture is well under way if not complet
ed and occupied.
