' BE FOR PROHIBITION The large audience which listened on last Sunday, to the most excellent ad- dress on Temperance, delivered by Governor Glenn, was not in doubt, that is the minds of those who heard the Gov ernor, appeared to be in full accord with the sentiments he expressed. The liquor habit, like every other " evil, is really an individual one, and as is every evil trait, its influ ence for harm ia not altogether upon '- the individual afflicted with the habit. If liquor drinking, in its consequent destruction upon the man and woman, who drink, was only visited upon the individual; if the misery and crime en gendered by drink was confined solely to the person who drank, then perhaps but a fraction of the evil of liquor drinking would be known to the woild. But the drinker is always to be a curse, to himself or herself, and to every one about, be it family or neighbors or strangers, and to secure a prohibition that means the absence of all liquor "drinking, means the education of the 1 child to the evil and disastrous effects . of alcoholism upon the human system, ' for it is very doubtful if mature per- sons, certainly not more than one-half, who are partial or free drinkers of bev erages that contain alcohol, are likely to become sincere abstainers. Governor Glenn's severe denuncia tion of sheriffs, mayors and aldermen, for failure to stop and break up blind tigers, and every kind of liquor selling, i was an effective forensic part of his ad- dress. But behind . this failure, if it . may be so called on the part of these . public officers to stop all liquor selling, there must be an active and aroused public sentiment which calls for, and : demands that when prohibition laws ex ist, that such laws shall be made effec- - tivo and in force, with punishment for every offender. It is . not that a town, city or State votes for 'prohibition, there must be more than the b? Hot which calls for the enactment of the law, there must be a united public sen timent as well, which declares that the vote for prohibition was meant for pro hibition, and there shall be no offenses without the full punishment for every offense, the same as for the violation of - any other law on the statues, and where such a public sentiment prevails, it needs no 'Governor's denunciation ' of sheriff, mayor or alderman, to ' break up local liquor selling, un " der whatever guise it may be done, for public sentiment will see that of fenses are not committed, which shall be able to evade the officer, the jury and judge, and escape with the pay ment of a fine and costs. MORE SCHOOL FACILITIES DE MANDED. A visit to the white graded school, specially on an occasion like Arbor Day,' this week, will satisfy any intel ligent person of the imperative need, and at once, of increased school facili ties. It is not that this increase is for any extraordinary purpose, but the in crease is demanded to meet the school requirements which the children of New Bern should receive to prepare them to meet higher schools or college require ments, when they shall have passed the several grades in the school in this city. ' ' . ' " What is specially demanded in con i n wilh the school is a large au ' i'n, in which such cxerc'mes may i L U lh we of Arbor Day, and on i f Milii'sml RijnificiitH-e, R'.uh as '. f m'a lliiihtl.iy, f..r 1 mAhm '. i ! r . f ' ' ' .1 re- 1 v opportunity for such exercises, and. while the weather may favor a day, as Arbor Day was observed on the school grounds, it ia not the place to hold such 1 ; : . i:. : . j -.3J VACI.iaC. Mil UUUlbUriUUl IB WDRUiUW. In addition to the demands for a build- ing with an auditorium, there is al ready need for more school room facil ities with additional teachers, and de partments which shall teach manual training for boys, with cooking and do- meatic teaching for girls. These vari- I . . ' . . .. 008 departments could be contained in the same building with the auditorium, and so be under one roof with one ex- pense for alL The growth of the city with new pupils constantly coming tolchool, calls for preparations for their reception, and these should be made as soon as possible, for already tne school facili ties are over tax!, and each month makes it more difficult for those who are in charge to handle the new comers. It is for the Trustees to meet these conditions as they have in the past, and erect a building which shall have auditorium and the other rooms which present educational wants demand. WATER ROUTES TO PROMOTE COMMERCE Commercial growth, as well as growth in population in towns and cities, is largely assisted where the place can have both rail and water communica tions with the outside world. These double connections mean competition, and competition means both lower rates, and a greater endeavor upon the part of the carriers, railroad and boat, to give prompt shipment of merchan dise. In addition to its already established boat lines,' Wilmington, N. C has now secured through the efforts of its mer chints a regular boat service between its city and Baltimore, which means much for tne commercial trade of that city. Kinston, with praiseworthy efforts on the part of its business people is trying to secure a river service on the Neuse, which shall give its trade a water route, therefore a competing route for trade, and through it, better commercial conditions for its mer chants. Occasionally in these columns there is given notice that a sailing v easel is at Baltimore, whose captain is prepared to accept consignments, for merchants at New Bern. This sailing vessel trans portation is important to the amount of its tonnage, but this is small and the sailings of such a vessel cannot be on any regular schedule, as would a steam boat. - That there is a good deal of trade done at Baltimore by the merchants of this city is well known, and with a reg ular steamboat line it would be much larger. A regular boat service between New Bern and Baltimore would benefit the trade of both cities, and likely be profitable to the transportation com pany. Every once in a while there is agitation among the merchants of this city on this water route. There is a cry against railroad charges, but there is nothing more th n a short lived pro test, and everything ia quiet again. What is wanted is a movement for a ooat service which shall be kept up un til the object is attained. . No one will deny that such a boat service is desira ble, and no one will deny that such a water route boat service can be ob tained, if the right effort is made, and thst there will be no such service until the' effort is made, is also quite posi tive. . Talk of dull trade is never heard when merchants are occupied going after business, and with more boat lines leading to northern ports, or even such a port as Norfolk, where other connections could be made, there will be a much larger business here, and thereby a greatly increased trade activ ity among local merchants. There ia more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years wan 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 cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. " Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitu tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It ia taken inter nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea spoonful It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, they cu'iT one hundred dollars for any case it f.ilta to cure.

It is now reported that Butler came , here to be able to satisfy the 'President ; that Greensboro is now BJackburn's home tow, and that he was not entitled to Fraziers appointment. However that may be. there is no question but that Frazier had the endorsement of three fourths of the members of the County Executive Committee, of which editor Douglas is chairman, and of nine tenths of the bankers, manufacturers and business organizations of the city regardless of politics. Little birds all about are whispering that a bill of indictment will be found at this weeks term of the Grand Jury in Asheville against ' the Honorable Congressman from the Eighth District, E Spence Blackburn. This may amount to more this time that at the session of the Grand Jury here last September, when everybody predicted the Congress man would be indicted. It is said that Holton. has been instructed to draw a bill by the Attorney General. ... .

The sett lement of the Raleigh post office question seems to be giving ground for such comment ani speculation in view of a possible fact that the present incumbent C. T. Bailey, will not be reappointed. Your correspondent has already- stated that two applicants with contingent ideas were on the lookout for the place, they being John W. Harden, a young banker, and Willis G. Uriggs, an able young newspaper man or KUeigh, and now comes the statement that Marion But ler's younger brother also has a pole pointedtowards the persimmon. . Conversation with those who know in departmental circles brings forth state, ments that are unquestionably and pos itively are concerning Mr. Bailey and your correspondent states without fear of contradiction that Mr. Bailey's re appointment is as sure as that of any other or probable office holder.

Two persons were killed and half a dozen others in jured in a head-on collision of passen ger trains between Swannanoa and Black Mountain this afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock. The dead are: .. BRAKEMAN SIMPSON. CONDUCTOR HOUGH. The injured: Engineer Peter Rouche, perhaps fatally; Engineer Dan Keever, hurt in back; Fireman John Smith, col ored, bruised; Fireman Dan Graham, bruised; Postal Clerk, W. C. Moore, ol Statesville.hurt inback; Baggage Agent Gardner, of Connelly Springs, bruised. Several passengers were slightly bruis ed and. shaken up, but not badly hurt. The accident, on the .Asheville divis ion of the Southern Railway this after noon is said to be due to the failure of the first section of No. 12, eastbbund, to take the siding at Swannanoa Train No. 11 from the east was oper ated, in two sections this afternoon. The first section came in about 2 o'clock. The Becond section was re ported running two hours and forty minutes late. Second Bection No. 11 had the right' ot way '. from Black Mountain to Asheville. The . first sec tion of No. 12, a light engine, bound for Salisbury and carrying a crew of Engineer Rouche, Conductor Hough, crakeman Simpson and Fireman John Smith, reached Swannanoa a few min utes aftef 4 o'clock. The engine should have gone into siding at this point. The second section of No. 11 was tit Black Mountain on time . Engineer Dan Keever had the right Of way and supposedly a clear track. He pulled out for Asheville. First, number 12 pulled out for Swannanoa about the same time. Between Swannanoft and Black Moutain there are no stops. It is a distance of perhaps ten miles. Both engineers were running at full speed and the trains were probably making 35 to 40 miles an hour. At a point nearly midway between the sta tions they collided, ' The crash and the jar is described by the passengers as fearful. Both engi neers jumped. The firemen also jumped Conductor Hough and Brakeman Simp son remained on the engine. . . They were both scalded to death. Engineer Roueche is badly hurt. Both his legs are broken, the left below the knee, the right above. The bone of the right leg protruded and penetrated the groins He is in Biltmor; Hospital and little hope is entertained for his recovery. The light engine, running as first num ber 12, is almost a total wreck. The engine of the passenger carrying coaches, and tho Bleeper is also badly damuged. It wits thrown cross-wise the track. Considerable track damage was done.' The Original Laxative Cough Sprup is Kennedy's Laxative Honey nnd Tar. It expels all cold from tho system by acting as a cathartic on the bowels.
