The above want ad is " not paid for

ueculiar features. Tuesda morning
the

was evidently travelling i
case which
blind bag-
gage. It was put on the cars at La
grange and had no check nor anything
to indicate its destination or the cor.
signee. Capt. Hancock saw that the
contents were of a nature that made it
a violation of the law to deliver it and
consequently ho turned the baggage
over to general superintendent S. L.
Dill, who notified the city authorities
to take charge of it and it was taken
to the city hall where it is now await
ing a claimant for it. ; "
Thepackago contained two gallon
jugs of whiskey, ten half pint flasks of
corn whiskey and one half pint of rye,
all sealed. The shipment is illegal be
cause it is within the State and it is a
violation of the Watts law. y :
It is not expected that any one will
call for the goods and unless the ship
per is found the probability is that
nothing further will be done about the
incident.

Tariff Off Linotype Machines
In the House of Representatives;
January 29, 1906, Mr. Thomas, of North
Carolina, introduced the following bill;
which was referred to the Committee
on Ways and Means and ordered to be
printed:
A bill to remove the tariff on com
posing and linotype machines and the
parts thereof;
Be it enacted by the Senate and
' House of Representatives of the United
SUtes of America n Congress assem
bled, That the Act of July twenty
' fourth, eighteen hundred and ninety-
seven, entitled "An Act to provide
revenue for the Government and to en
courage the industries of the United
States," be amended so that the exist
ing duty of forty-five per centum ad
valorem impiped by paragraph one
hundred and nine-three, Schedule C, of
aid Act, or any other paragraph or
schedule of said Act upon composing or
linotype machines and their parts be,
and the same is hereby, repealed.
Home Insurance.
Life insurance is a subject of interest
to every man, woman and child, to the
man because he knows that with very
little effort on his part he is protecting
his loved ones in the event of his death
hef.ire he has had the opportunity of
acquiring an estate in the regular line
of business; to the woman because she
knows that her immediate wants will
in any event, be supplied and to the
child because it assures an education
without which his chances in the world
are slim.
The time was when the great volume
of business done in the south went en
tirely to the northern States and com
panies and when the extent of this
business was realized, the leading citi
zens and newspapers of the south won
dered wht this money could not be kept
at home and used for home improve
ment. The question was discussed un
til business men took hold of it and
now we have a life insurance company
at our doors, as good as any of those
in the north, better in fact, because we
know the men behind it, who stand for
integrity in business and are willing to
'back home industries with their money,
and to take out policies themselves,
(the crucial test of confidence.)
The Southern Life Insurance Co. of
Fayetteville is one that can stand any
test or any comparison. ' It writes the
regular old line insurance, both participa
ting and non-participating and will give
you more insurance for the least money
than any other company. It numbers
amone its officers and directors such
rnn as Messrs. E. H. Williamson,
President; C. J. Cooper, General Mana
ger and Treas, and J. A. Oats, Secre
tary, of Fayetteville; A. L. James, of
Laurinburg; Mark Morgan, of Laurel
lull Walker Taylor of Wilmington and
among its stockholders, Messrs. J
Al t n Taylor and John D. Bellamy of
Wilmington: R. D. Caldwell of Lum
Lei-ton; W. J. Johnson, John Clue, W.
tToopi-r.arul many others equally well

The Charlotte Observer of the 30th
inst, contains a very interesting ar
ticle about New Bern from the facile
pen of CoL F. A. Olds the well known
newspaper correspondent. The article
is about one and one-half columns in
length and is largely a record of the im
pressions made on him during his recent
viait to this city.
The vitriolized brick walks which are
being placed m front of some of our
business places will serve to show a
maierai rar a iuew wi "
satisfactory as anything that is made.
In the line of city improvements notn-
ing is more needed than good sidewalks
and there is yet to be found a mate
rial for walks superior to this brick, es
pecially made for sidewalk and pave
ments. ....
Mr. H. W. Simpson's handsome new
residence on New street is completed
and he is occupying it.
Mr. J. W. Hollis, wood turner, has
fashioned some very pretty articles cut
of bits of the old hickory tree which
recently stood in the yard? of Christ
Church. Remembering that the old
tree was an original forest tree nour
ishing when the town was first settled,
and its other historical associations.
these articles become very interesting
souvenirs.
The local fishermen report that they
are making a fairly satisfactory catch I
of white shad now. The best roe sell
for $1.25 each, andbucksbring 75cents.
The market seems to be off on eggs
and fresh pork. Many farmers carry
their pork back home rather than sell
for six cents a pound.
Since early in the oyster season, the
New Bern market has been well sup
plied with the luscious bivalves, of most
excellent quality too. While they have
been more plentiful than last year the
retail price has kept up well, poorest
quality bringing 25 cents the quart,
while 35 cents is charged for selected
ones.
Messrs J. G. Williams and Herbert
Bryan have formed a copartnership
under the style name of Williams &
Bryan, and will conduct a grocery
business at No. 42 Middle street The
two young men are well known, hav
ing been employed by the Weddell
Grocery Company as salesmen since its
formation and before that were with
Ferdinand Ulrich, grocer. Being po
lite and hustling there is but little
doubt they will make a success.
Some person lost a costly meerschaum
i m
pipe in caiioways Darper snop a iew
days ago. The proprietor will return
it upon proper description.
The big special sale of Barfoot Bros.,
advertised to start today had to be
postponed a few days to give firm more
time to re-arrange the stock for easy
selling.
We must commend the Opera House
management for the way in which they
have heated the theatre. It must be
admitted that a place with so many
doors and windows is bound to be cold
as drafts of air can not be prevented,
but notwithstanding, that they have
kept the house comfortable and no
blame can be attached to them for any
bad results from a cold house.
Mrs. S. C. Schroederis getting up an
autograph quilt, the proceeds of same
going to the Parish house fund. Any
one may give his or her autograph by
paying ten cents. The quilt when com
pleted will be voted to some parsonage
in New Bern and will be a fine souve
nir. Mrs. Schroeder may be found at
17 Change street, or names can be left
with Mrs. H. R. Bryan.
Mr. Oscar Draney purchased of B.
McFrater, a colored man and a carpn
ter 5,000 empty half pint whiskey
flasks, which McFrater had picked up
on the streets during the month of De
cember. McFrater is said to be a good
carpenter and can always command
job, but it seems that he must find the
picking up of bottles more profitable
than working at the trade. To take in
consideration the fact that four-fifth
of the bottles sold have the name of the
bottle blown into the glass, which
make them non saleable, only plain
bottles have a value, one can form
slight conception of the enormous
number of receptacles that are emptied
of their stimulating contents during
one month in this temperance city,
New Bern. There are people, however,
who claim that the prohibition law is
working like a charm.
Dr. J. M ward who will be remem
bered as practicing surgeon and phy
sician in this city some years ago, has
again resumed his practice in this city.
Dr. Ward was in the government ser
vice kin the Philippines- for several
years.

POOR POTATO MARKET
The Outlook Anything But Encouraging For
. The Plantar. .-.
According to reports published in a
Norfolk paper the prospect for a large
shipment of early potatoes to northern
markets from eastern North Carolina
are not encouraging. The planters
I claim that their experience for the last
two years has shown them that there
is not enough money to go into any
extensive shipping. ' - ,
It is said by some dealers who are in
a position to know that the crop will
j be loss than 50 percent that of former
; years. Railroads and steamboat lines
which have derived a large source of
revenue for hauling this product will
be affected by this decision of the f aim
era as are the farmers themselves, and
as far as can be see 'i row there are
scarcely any sign of better prices this
this year. It ia possible that the cur
tailment planned by the planters and
the consequent l'ghteuing of freight
receipts will have its effect in getting
i a better market for potatoes.
