New Beta New Bern, N-C.-July IS. 1906. THE WOMAN'S CLUB EFFECTIVE NESS. Notice appeared in these columns a few weeke ago, that the last meeting t the year of the Woman's Club of this eity' was to be held. This did not mean the last meeting of the year 1906, but the last of the club's year, as the summer would oppose any regular meet ings or the extension, or continuation to any extent of the work of the sever al departments which has engaged the attention of the members during the past year. Without any data at hand, the Jour nal would say that the effiectivenesa of the Woman's Club during the year had been more real than apparent, that is what it had accomplished was more of the order of beginnings, which demand a following up, and not work done which shall remain without need of further effort, or seeing to that it be maintained. That the club has estab lished reforms and betterments, can be testified to, and noted in New Bern, but more has been done in suggestive lines which are not now but are to be, which must be followed up and con summated either through the willing ness of those who are pointed out the way to city betterments, and accept the advice, or through the diplomacy of the members of the club, which no one is going to be able to resist, much less evade or escape. One thing which the Journal believes has been of special value to the Wom an's Club, has been its meetings, and perhaps more especially those when some speaker has addressed the member ship and its friends, hss there been a gain to the club, and on this line the journal neneves tnsi u uie wuecau 1 1 il.. 1M V - 1 . cure two or three good speakers next fall, it ;will be the means of promot ing the club's strength, and bringing together its membership for work, as nothing else could do. There is very much for the Woman's Club to do, and always will be, and the Journal looks forward with undisguised interest and concern to see its work go forward to the beautifying and better ment of many things in New Bern, which are of vital importance in their good for the city's development and growth. THE EVIDENT NEED OF PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT. If additional evidence was needed to prove 1 the absolute need of a change ' from a voluntary to a paid fire depart ment service in New Bern, any doubter who was out at the recent fires, ' would have been dear in bis mind from what be saw at those firev end declared at ones for the change. . As for the past two years, the Jour sal sees more and mere the demand for the change in the system of fire' hand ling and fire fighting in this city. '.As so 1 often before said, it is not that the' lo cal volunteers do not work, and exert their best efforts, all most willingly and with no reward for what ia done, but ' conditions havs changed, and no volun tary fir service in a eity of this sire Is going to meet the calls for service, as will a fire department which Is paid. And the whole solution may be found in ' one the word, paid, for where men are paid there' is the demand for services at every hour, upon every occasion, and any failure to meet requirements. snesns dismissal ' It is the difference between what Is demanded and" what ia voluntarily given, a business proposi tion, which can be changed at an hour's notice. ' The the theory so often expressed that fires help a community, may prove partially true, but following big fires, sod the destruction of buttJings which rc?; 7 e replaced by better ones, there is tie iacressed premium which may f U r-on Usurers, unless there be bet- t r f . i ..:t!.:s, and yeter a , ' ;ft j t r t ss . . L.....U M- ! 'J f i -'.J iaKew Pern, then is no greater security to day, nor the certainty that equally aa destructive fires may not take place at any time in this city. Every month's delay in this matter, keeps householders and those who own property liable to fire destruction, in constant danger, and jeopardizes hun dreds of thousands of dollars of perish- able property. It means ever increas ing fire premiums, and the feeling of uneasiness which now prevails every time the alarm sounds for fire m down town portion of the dty. REPUBLICANISM, STATE AND NATIONAL. The speech of Secretary of War, Mr. Taft, delivered at Greensboro, N. C, last Monday night, was an able ad dress, one which provoked the applause of Republicans, and one which calls for the consideration of Democrats, for while the speech will have little effect, that is to change Republican conditions which now exist in North Carolina, coming as he did, representative of the Roosevelt administration, it is wisdom for the Democrats to note the political attitude taken, and to be prepared thereby for what the future may de velop: Two points in Secretary Taf t's speech call for special attention. The first to quote. I do not wish to seeem ungracious but I must be candid. In my judgment, the Republican party of North Caroli na would be much stronger as a voting party if all the federal offices were tilled by Democrats. A lnn linnmuav oa fra PannhliKQn party in the Southern States shall rep resent little save a factional chase for federal offices in which business men and men of substance in the communi ty have no desire to enter and in the result of which they have no interest, we may expect the present political conditions of the South to continue. While this expression of the evil of office holding as it now exists in the State, no doubt received the plaudits of many Republicans who hearl it, yet there was not one office holder who felt stirred enough to offer to get out, and let a new order of federal office holding begin in this State. It is this very te nacity of federal office holding in North Carolina which perpetuates a Republi canism, which recognizes office as the principle, not incident, to Republican ism. If a survey of the State will be made, It will be found that there has not been any success in any movement in the Republican party for the past quarter of a century, which had for its purpose the exaltation of principle over office. Organization has meant, and means today, among North Carolina Republicans, the strength of federal office holding against any politics which might mean a new crowd to take the jobs. . All opposition comes under the head of "insurgents" and is promptly crushed by the powers which hold posi tion and can in a way leave offices as an inheritance to those found worthy, who may follow. In the political thraldom which Sec retary Taft says exists in this State because ' of Democratic supremacy, while the political health is not as good as it might be under two good opposing political parties, yet there is the cer tainty of a safe administration at pres ent, and a local development, prosperi ty and continuous growth, which could not be, if there was the possibility of a change to State Republicanism. As compared to northern states, which are closely Republican, there is much in favor of the Southern States, ' albeit their hide bound democracy for there cannot be found in this section the fraud and graft to be found in Repub lican Pennsylvania and other solid Re publican states.

(Special Correspondence) Raleigh, July 10. The members of the Sub-Text Book Commission as an nounced yesterday are formerly sworn in this morning the offiee of the Gover nor. Headquarters had been estab lished in the Senate Chamber where ex aminations and other works of the com mission will be carried on. Masses of books are piled about the building. The Superintendent of Public Instruc tion has received information that a local tax has just been voted at Old Trap District No. 2 in Camden county. There is every likelihood that Ral eigh will have another theatre and un der a different management To this end it is possible that the old Metropol itan Hall over the city market will be leased in which event it will be thor oughly renovated and modernly fitted. An attorney for the Wake Water Co. last night appeared before the Raleigh Board of Aldermen making a proposition that the city renew the contract with the company for furnish ing water for all purposes. The mat ter was again referred to a special committee, appointed some months ago to value the Wake Water Company's plant and to negotiate with a view to purchase. That relationship was, how ever, discontinued owing to a disagree ment relative to making public certain facts and figures of the water com pany's property. The proportion now made by the water company would mean a reduction m the rates witna guarantee of purer water for all pur poses. The fact that blind tigerism may not prosper in dispensary Raleigh was well evidenced by the fact that Lewis Spen cer a Raleigh negro convicted in five separate cases of retailing, his fines amounting to nearly three hundred dol- hvs was sentenced in police justice's court for a term of seven months. Hillsboro street from the fair grounds to the capital square will be double tracked for the operation of electric street can, it is stated, in time for op eration by the next State Fair to be held in October.

Condition of Crops. - Inquiries have been made in Jones Onslow, Craven and Pamlico counties as to the present condition of crops and the result is indeed discouraging. 4 Several representative farmers of Onslow being, interviewed, declared that the damage to cotton throughout the county would be not less than fifty per cent and that com would be nearly as short The sweet potato and pea nut crops have a chance yet This esti mation wss made on a presumption that the rainy spell is broken. 1 The reports from Jones are equally as discouraging, or more so. in so places farmers have abandoned their cotton crop as it is not worth the cost of cultivation. The plant is small red and overpowered by grass. Corn is re ported very poor also. rn Craven the crop will not average near half. In places cotton and corn are both complete failures, , and no further work will be done on these crops, but other crops will be planted aa far as the season will permit The sdvicps irora ramiieo are more reassuring, but the entire county has not been covered. , lewel CesislslBt la CMMrss.

Black Mountain, July 8.- Quite a number of friends asked me to give them some particulars of the "Inn" owned by Mr. A. E. Stevens, but now leased to Mrs. Lambut, for the present season, and I hope for many future seasons: The "Inn" is well kept in every par ticular, the fare excellent, and the house and grounds clean and inviting looking. - The air is invigorating and life-giving, the view of the valley and mountains from the "Inn" cannot be surpassed, and the walks and drives around here are lovely indeed. The spring water is delicious and icy cool and a drink from its rock bound walls, and to sit under therhodedendun now in full bloom which over-shadow it is something to enjoy. The board is reasonable and Mrs, Lambut does anything for the comfort of her guests. I have been among the Mountains of North Carolina a good deal and I know of no place that com bines all the attractions of this pleas ant resort Although Black Mountain Station and Montreat, and other board ing houses in this vicinity are desirable in many ways, yet I really know of no place that has the health, view, water and other attractive things in equal proportion as the "Inn" now managed by Mrs. Lambut H.
