CONSIDERATION OF LEADERS ALSO IMPORTANT ' Nothing more clearly demonstrates the tact that Republicanism is a living force in North Carolina than trie mais criminate and violent abuse which is being hurled at the party by the more rabid element or the Democratic press. But the truth is that such treatment does the Republican party far more eood than harm, tor it snows to non est, thinking men that while the party mav not be perfect it is opposed by forces which can defend themselves only by charging the atmosphere with hatred and clouding the public vinion with the smoke of partisan abuse. All we ask for is a thoughtful considera tion of the public issues now before the people, and if our Dolitical enemies can nave their way that is the last thing we will ever get. i While in no way a member of the "rabid element of the Democratic press." the Journal cannot but think its esteemed contemporary, the Greens boro News, from which the above edi torial comment was taken falls short of the mark, in its desire to support North Carolina Republicanism, in placing Dem ocratic criticism of it3 party in this State, as called forth by Democratic partisanism. The fact is that Repub licanism as exemplified by the Roose velt administration has many sympa thizers, even more, admirers in North Carolina among men who vote for the State Democratic ticket at elections. Of course national republicanism, its issues and principles, are a part of State republicanism. Some of these . issues, notably a protective tariff, is favorable to many prominent interests in North Carolina. But while this is- . sue, and perhapsther republican issues might secure a following, and so en large the republican vote in this State, the republican leadership is of such char acter as to disgust any would be sympa thizer of .ctate republicanism, and such a voter is lost' It is in a leadership, the character of its man or men, be it political, com merciai or religious, wnicn is . essential to -success and the gather ing ota respectable and solid following, as are issues and principles, and it is this lamentable weakness of leadership of North Carolina republicanism, which prevents the party from gathering any following. North Carolina Republican ism, today, is a party for office, and its leaders show their littleness to out aiders by their constant scramble for office, and their desire for a party which diall consist of leaders for of fice, only, with just enough offices for ttase leaders. TOBACCO RAISING AND TRUS r PROFITS -The proceedings of the American To bacco Company, at its annual meeting, held a few days ago, that is the finan- emi reports ot the company made pub lic at the meeting, are worth the atten tion of every one farmer and buyer, dealer and merchant, who may be en gaged in the tobacco trade. Particu larly are the figures of interest to to bacco farmers, and worthy of consider ation, for the profits of the manufac turer of any staple product is of vital concern to the grower or producer of the article manufactured. This being true, what have been the pro fits of the American Tobacco Co. during 1905, the company which controls very largely and determines the price which the tobacco grower is to receive for l is crop? According to reports pub- i in a me net earnings lor 1905 were "',212,235, being an increase of $2,90T , over T.10-1. Further figures give t LiUncefortre year $14,204,551 '- over the previous year of ) to the average mind these fig- l.Ke very iure profits, and to r v Mini;! !u pi, .. ;!,!e the prcnt ; r t' .i tnif't, tin-re is ti.w "S t H e f,,i'M,-r v. ho ' ' " 1 vi 'i m:ti,y n for his product will net him a loss, or so small a profit that his own labor re ceives no recompense, the thought must be, of the unfairness of it all, for the grower has given his very life, a part of it, and some one else has profit ed by his sacrifice. It is no surprise that the producer is antagonistic to the trust which profits immensely by his efforts, instead of there being a just profit to both pro ducer and manufacturing trust, for there is no reason" why the manufac turer cannot pay the price for the raw product which gives the grower his justly earned profit But there may be more for the to bacco farmer this ear, and there should be, for the trust has had a year of fat profits, and the grower is entitled to his season of being well profited for his own labor in tobacco growing. " ' MUNICIPAL GROWTH DEPENDENT UPON TRANSPORTATION. This age with its hurry and demand for speed in every line of trade and profession, calls for transportation be tween home and business that shall be regular and fast. The working man, and even the professional man and clerk, who would own their own homes can seldom own their homes near their places of business or occupation in the city, because of the high prices of such property. To own homes they must go into territory either in the outskirts of the city, or buy in the suburb adjacent to the city, and to reach their homes they must have means of transporta tion by which they may be quickly, and at small cost, go to and from then- occupation and home. A' local application of this, is to be found in New Bern, where homes can not be secured except at prices too high for the young man, whose family must be supported upon his wages. And in addition to the high price for a home, there is equally the high price which must be paid for a rented home. What is the remedy? The opening up of subdivisions to this city, and the es tablishment of transportation facili ties which shall enable those who se cure homes to have a quick and cheap means to reach their office or work shop The fact that the territory of New Bern for residences is already conjest- id, acts as a check to local development and growth, for the would be home seeker can find no property within his reach or means that he may secure, It also keeps away outsiders who might seek this city as a home, and this serves to check the increase of population and the coming of men who would assist in local development The opening of Ghent, a subdivision. is the commencement of the opening up of land upon which the person of moderate means may secure a home, and along with this, there should be the effort made to secure an electric car line system which shall put this subdivision and other subdivisions that will be opened up for settlement, with in easy-reach of the home seeker and home builder. - It means a municipal growth of permanence and character, therefore of great value to New Bern. $100 Reward, $100.

Williams today, when Mrs. Williams celebrated her 40th year. All of their friends ofVanceboro and vicinity were invited. A most de lightful dinner was served and the din ing room was filled with happy friends. Th dining room was beautifully dec orated with flowers, and the table was a pleasant sight to view. The host and hostess are splendid en tertainers. The hostess received many handsome presents and congratulations. After dinner all returned to the parlor where cards and music were enjoyed. Missei Lula and Helen Williams, both very beautiful young ladies, sang a duette which was enjoyed very much. Everybody expressed the hope that Mrs. Williams had sli ped up in the date of her birthday Bird that it was in las i a lure lntftc.ul of tiio jsiat. 1 i t II GOOD M So Greensboro Tax Payers .

(Special Correspondence) -. ' Greensboro, March 16. There was a local sensation here yesterday when it became known that Judge Allen, on ap plication of property owners on South Elm street had issued an order to Mayor Murphy, enjoining tho city from mak- ingif urther payment on the contract ft r street paving now in progress. The city contracted to have three quarters of a mile laid in concrete and vitrified brick, at a cost of about thirty eight thousand dollars and two thirds of the work has been (.otnoleted, the city paying ninety per cent of the contract price as work progressed. The injunction ia return able within twenty days, and is said to have obtained by property owners, who having been allowed no voice in making the contract are required by city ordi- ance to pay one third the cost, and who allege that the work is being imper fectly done at an exorbitant price. E. J, Justice, is attorney for complainants, and secured the restraining order from Judge Allen at Asheville A payment of three thousand dollars was due to day, and the precipitate order was ob tained to prevent this payment being made. The work is just now at a most critical stage, the intersection of South Elm and Market streets between th Federal building and the county ci urt house where the street car lines con verge, being excavated and impassible As to whether work will be suspended or not is not known, as a telegram sent to the'ehief contractor concerning this has only been answered by a message saying he will arrive here Friday. Chairman of Street Commission Huntei said tonight that the Board courted the most searching investigation in or out of court as to the quality of the work the integrity of the contract, and economical management of the great undertaking. The city is stirred from center to circumference over a matter which has long been a bone of con tention. ' Last night, Guy E. Miller, of Colo rado made an address to the socialist of this city. Mr. Miller dwelt princi pally upon the unfairness of the trusts and cited many instances in which the laboring classes had been imposed upon by these trusts. There was a large gathering at Pleas ant Garden, eight miles distant, yester- 1 day at the closing exercises of the Fen- I. . -. i- 1. 1: t;u ..l l iress uwiiiiiij puuiiu uigii bviiwi Governor Glenn made a notable speech this afternoon to a large audi snce, speaking particularly to the children, his subject being the great need of men and women consecrated to public ser vice and higher civic ideals.

The Origin of Bridge "Where does Bridge come from ? Per sia is said to have given u, the game o' Poker, and Turkey, according to R. F Foster, author of "Foster's Completi Bridge," waa the home of this latest popular card game. Mr. toster sayt in his preface: "Bridge would.seem ti be a combination or outgrowth of vari ous other games, notably Gerelasch, Siberia and Preference. A game verj much like Bridge has long been popu lar in Holland; and all the elements ol it are to be traced in many of the oldei games of cards. The name is suppose to be derived from the word 'biritch,' which is popularjy believed to be a Rus sian word, but there is no such word ii the -Russian language. The game it aelfia generally credited 'to the East, and is said to have long been populai in Constantinople,- Smyrna and south eastern Europe" Mr. toster gives 1893 as the date of the first appear ance of the game in America, when itt principles! were explained to some members of the New York Whist Clut by Mr. Henry I. Barby, an incident which resulted in the withdrawal of i large number of members who wiahec to play Bridge to the exclusion of reg ular Whist, and the formation of the Whist lub of New York. - ' According to theEncyclopaedia Brittan nica. Bridge was first played in England about 1880, but did not really become popular until 1894. y Rural Directory Issued.

Mr Geo, N. Ives was the complaining witness. The horse had gnawed and iruined one of the fine youn'g trees Mr. Ives had. set out in front of his residence on Pol lock street,'.' The violation of this ordi nance has caused property owners a great deal of trouble and while it is not a pleasant .matter ' to resort to the law that is the only way to enforce the observance of ,a really necessary ordi nance. ;';.; " ' y -.. The trees wl'ich have b.'en set out in the city through the influence of the Woman's Club are not intended to furnish pubulum for horses or mules and when drivers are arrested for al lowing their animals to graze on trees they should not object to the punish ment. O'Brien was taxed the costs, $2.35. The A. & N. C. Co. has again violated section 98, of the city laws in permit ting the shifling of cars beyond the stipulated limit. The first offence was on March 12, the second, March 13, and the third yesterday. The carie Was continued until Tuesday for the defend ant, the attorney, Mr. A. lJ.

Query : Hat the Norlolk & Southern Bought up the Prospective Virginia Carolina . Coast Railway. A rumor that ia merely a conjecture was published in the Elisabeth City Economist of Wednesday March 14, relative' to another railway transfer. There are some signs that the Norfolk & Southern Co. has bought the Virginia & Carolina Coast railway, the project now contemplated from Norfolk to Beaufort. ': The deal, if the rumors are correct will go far to prove that there is a "power behind the throne". In the Norfolk & Southern accumulating so much property and always buying that which it can use to good advantage die fine Italian hand of the Standard Oil Go. is easily seen. " - - ' , ; The Norfolk & Southern is buying lere arid there, or at least there are avidwtees of its transactions, and inas much as the Virginia & Carolina Coast -ailwav would in a measure be a com- letitor with it and as it is .a Very de- -irable piece of property it is but natur- to suppose i that such a deal has been nade.

A MANIAC AUTOMOBILE. The Astounding Feat of Touring the Worts' III Twenty Ntiuutee. A marvelous oddity with an innova tion of unprecedented comedy events that are not only unique and startling, but also ludicrous in the extreme, is the new sensational moving picture concert which has kept New York City laughing for the past three or four months. 0ly made possible by recent discoveries and inventions in motion photography never has anything been offered to compare with this for origi nality and the exploration of one of the wildest flights of a lucid imagination, A startling series of impossibilities, culminating in a seething waterfall of sidespliting comedy situations.
