New Bern, N. C., Feb. 2. 1906. 4H EXAMPLE OF NEGRO INDUS TRIAL WORK. As. a sample of what intelligent and persistent effort will do in the indus- trial training of the colored youth, no better illustration is afforded than, that which is developing at the ;. Eastern North Carolina Industrial Academy in this city, which is '.educating colored youth of both sexes along manual train ing lines, rather than akng educational lines, chiefly of books. In the local columns of the Journal has been noted the progress made in this Academy, and this assistance has been pretty generously extended, and . now that apparatus have been secured, equipment gotten together, those who have contributed can see that the re sults are more and more satisfactory, . and this Academv promises to be all that its promoters have declared for it, and if it fully comes forth, as it is now slowly but surely doing, then this city and section are going to reap there ward in a negro citizenship, educated to a productive and useful handicraft, race of citizenship that will be build ' era up and factors in the industrial and : commercial development and progress of Eastern Carolina, and wielding an influence through their example, that will go out and assist their race other sections. ; The special kind of work which ; now showing for itself at this Indus trial Academy, is the manufacture of ; brooms, and the success of this can be seen, in a large order which is given upon the sample shown of the first brooms made and exhibited within the .past few days. , t With a continuation of this broom manufacture, and also manufacture of ' Other articles, which are to be made with further equipment, the colored v youth at this Academy will prove of ac !- tual value to themselves in securing j manual training which means that they will be self-supporters, and be above those who are satisfied with "jobs, which means work of an hour or two, with no certainty or desire for its con- . tinuation. v The world has too many people in it who are satisfied with the little job of i an hour or two, and who would - flee from employment which means concentrated effort eight to twelve hours, six days in the week, and fifty --' two weeks in every year, except holi days. If the Industrial Academy shall teach this concentration upon work, as well as giving the good manuel train- ing that it ia now showing, it will t prove an institution, of vast benefit to J the colored race and to this Eastern , Carolina section. BLOCKS PRESENT AND FUTUR ' BUSINESS. Griffith street has been so often men tioned in the column of the Journal, that it may seem a wornout subject, but the importance of this street,, as an artery of commerce ia so vital to the business interests of New Bern that the Journal cannot withhold its columns from discussing, proposing and assisting until this street ia built into a roadway, passable in every kind of weather. The matter of widening this street was a subject which . was brought up ! ' r e the board of aldermen for def a action gome months ago. If any '. n has been decided in the matter, it: way of results, the Journal di '. 1 ow of it. In the meantime : interest which 1 ; Gri . u ' : i fs if street Naturally, the rains of the past two months have done their work, assisted by the various teams which hare been forced to go along this street, and to day, and for days past, this street has been a frightful illustration of how bad a street can become. . What is demanded, is, accepting as a fact that the widening project of Grif fith street baa died and will, not be heard of again, ia for the city to take this street and pave it, not with oyster shells or marl rock, bat with brick or stone, from curb to curb, with no open gutters, but all drainage beneath the surface. The old cry of "big expense" ! of course will be raised, but it is time for the city authorities to do some prac tical work In way ' of permanent im provements, which shall remain, not continue street making for today, with tomorrow to take care of itself. Begin on Griffith street, a most important trade street and build a road thai will remain a score of years at least, with no demand for monthly patching up, and the value of the improvement will make returns a hundred: times the first cost. ASTERN CAROLINA RAILROAD AND TIMBER MERGER. The announcements in the local col umns of the Journal, from time to time, all point to the culmination of a tre mendous railroad and timber land mer ger of these interests in Eastern North Carolina. The Virginia-Carolina Coast, the Suffolk and Carolina, the Coast Road, and just made public the Pamlico Oriental and Western.Jand hardly to be doubted, the Norfolk and Southern, and the Atlantic and North . Carolina, these railroad properties all seem to be under one giant control of men to whom the question of money, in any amount, is of small importance, if money is wanted for the acquirement of good properties. Together with these railroad combi nations, there is also a gathering together- of the , large, timber interests of this Eastern Caro lina section, which include mills and roads over which the mill people have carried logs to their mills. Among these timber interests are the Roper and Blades people, whose properties are estimated at about S4.000.000. If the timber interests are merged with the smaller railroad interests, the lat ter said to be capitalized at $7,500,000. these totals go beyond the eleven mil lion dollar mark, and if the large roads i be added, with the additional timber in terests said to be held by option, it is easy to see that here is some $20,000,- 000 to $25,000,000 of practically new money coming into this section, and these investors are people who make invested money earn something, so that these many millions must produce a commercial and industrial activity never before known in this section. And if those who have sold their in terests shall empioy their money in trade or investment in this section, the question of trade interests becoming extremely large, with business develop ment of all kinds being on a huge scale compared with the past, is easily solved and the growth of Eastern Carolina will be on a scale that will soon remove every idea that this ia a slow growing secuon. There ia more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable, For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease and pre scribed local remedies, and by constant ly failing to eure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

The Samueli Case Likely to Go Two Weeks Longer. Captured Stills Must Be Brought to Government Warehouse. Suit on Discounted Notes. Men : tal Anguish Suit. Greensboro, N, C, Jan. 30 The case now pending .in the : Federal court against G. W. Samuels, charged with frauds as a Deputy Collector in combi nation with distillers to swindle the government entered on its second week of trial this morning. If bids fair to last for two weeks longer. Saturday the defendant put on his first witness, who was none other than the Revenue Agent until January first of this dis trict, CoL W. H. Chapman. He testi fied to Samuel's excellent character as a man and an officer and a few other minor matters in his favor when coun sel for the defendant stood him aside District Attorney Holton than began a cross examination, which for its thor oughness and disclosures has never been approached in any former trial here in any court It was not until just before court adjourned last night that he let up in his questions and the de fendants counsel are giving the witness a re-airect examination toaay.. -ine cross examination clearly showed that the District Attorney and the Repre sentative of the Revenue Department had been at cross purposes through the period of these investigations into, the reported corruption and that it took a stern order from the Secretary of the Treasury before the Revenue Agent would give the Representative of the Department of Justice a look at the books or records in his office. One of the good effects of the devel opments in the trial of the Revenue officers here ia the issuance of an order by Revenue Agent Sams, who suc ceeded Col. Chapman January first, re quiring all Deputy Collectors in future to send the stills they have cut up to the nearest government warehouse to te sold as old copper. This jw ill com pletely break up the custom of report ing a still destroyed that has not been destroyed and of collecting ten dollars informers fees, without the evidence of the destroyed still being in the posses sion of others than the olhcers so re porting. The third week of Superior court is in progress here. Judge Hoke yester day morning decided a question of law on one of a serjes of important suits in stituted here by the Southern Life and Trust Company against a dozen of the most prominent financiers of the city on some notes the Trust Company had discounted. The case in point was a test case. A fellow representing what he called the American Mercantile Company of New York modeled after Bradstreets and Dunns came here a year ago and sold stock in the proposed Company, accepting notes from each of the victims in the sum of twelve hundred dollars, payable in twelve months. The stock was issued to the note givers, but in a few weeks the whole thing proved a fake of the first water. The Southern Life and Trust Company had discounted these notes, and pued the payers. They set up the claim that the whole thing was a fraud, and to the purchaser ought not to re cover. The bank claimed it had boueht the notes in due course of. business be fore maturity for value received with out notice of any equities. The judge decided that defendant had not by evi dence showed that thefbank had notice of any equities, or that there was any reason to suspect fraud and directed the 'jury to return a verdict for the plaintiff bank. An appeal was taken. From the fact that about ten thousand dollars are involved in these notes, and that the first suit was by a bank against the cashier of a rival bank, who had signed one of the discounted twelve hundred dollar noter, the case excited much local interest Another unusual case is now in pro gress where W. I. Young ia suing the Southern Railway. Two years ago he had a telegram in Chattanooga saying his wife and children here were at the point of death. He was crazy to get here and paid $720 lor a special train to bring him, leaving six hours ahead of schedule time for the regular pas senger train. After a - harrowing experience on the way by having to be hauled with freight engines on his special he reached here twenty minutes after the regular passenger train and found his child dead.T He BUtd the railroad for the recovery of the $720 and also for one thousand dollars dam ages for the mt-nta! anguish consequent upon failure of the railroad company to keep tho contract and get him here, The latter, ia said by lawyers to be I new wrinkle in the law in this State but has been established in some of the other State?. The case is being closely contested with able lawyers on each side. Failed. All efforts have failed to find a better remedy for coughs,, colds and lung troubles than Foley's Honey and Tar. It slops the cough, heals the lunpa and prevents serious results from a cold. J. N.

This year the meeting will be held the. last week in June, the 27th having been selected. At the meeting held here no definite information is given out but Morehead seems a favorite. The names chosen for special addresses will not be given out until acceptances are received. Between Raleigh and Caiy, only the very short distance of about 9 miles, over 150 men have been laboring along the line of the Seaboard Air Line rail road. The-Bell Telephone Company, among the most marked of the local sufferers by such a cause have had thirty men busy day and night and this number was today augmented by fif teen more. The loss of the Bell Cd., is figured conservatively by the manage ment and those who are in a position to be informed to reach the $7,000 mark, and all is not even yet accountei for in the unstudied figures. - , . James Corbett, ; who was convicted and sentenced to five years, in 1902, for tampering with registered mail piatter in the Selma Postoffice. is pardoned by the presidentafter having twice been refused. 'The last appeal made just be fore Christmas was effective, having been in the hands of Col. J.CL Har ris at Raleigh, and Marion Butler, in Washington. There was some doubt as to Corbett's guilt, and he is now al lowed to return to his wife and chil 'dren who reside at Selma. ? .,: The Corporation Commission author ized the Bank of Aberdeen and the Bank of Winterville, respectively, to com mence business.
