COLD STORAGE INVESTIGATION
New York Tribune. .'..
Dr. Wiley's investigation of the sys
tem of cold storage of poultry and other
articles of food is a timely undertaking,
. in line with the inspection of meats at
the packing houses and with the Tri
bune's recent suggestion that poultry
might be as proper an object of inspec
tion as beef or pork . In two major re-
Bpects the inquiry will be of peculiar
interest and will strongly appeal to
multitudes of people to whom some
features of the food storage business
Have long seemed doubtful.
It will be of interest, for example, to
know, so far as science can ascertain
and tell, precisely what is. the effect
upon articles of food of long storage in
the cold. It is well known that cold
prevents decomposition of the ordinary
kind. Indeed, it has been known to
preserve flesh in an apparently fresh
condition for a very long time. But it
has been an open question in the minds
of many whether some other changes
may not occur in frozen flesh and other
objects which render them undesirable,
if not directly noxious. Men who would
accept without hesitation as perfectly
fresh a fowl which had been in cold
storage for many days would look de
cidedly askant at one which had been
thus kept for as many years. It would
be interesting and useful to know
whether or not frozen food does de
teriorate, and, if it does, at about what
time.
THE NECRO AT JAMESTOWN
The Norfolk Virginian Pilot states
very clearly the status of the negro at
the eoming Jamestown Exposition as an
exhibitor. In this exposition, as on
many previous occasions of public im
portance, there is the cry raised by
ignorant or prejudiced persons, of dis
crimination against the negro.
From one side, if there is an invita
tion extended to the negro to join any
thing the white man goes, there is the
:ry of "coddle, "and at the same time,
, -ora another side there will be the cry
Jim Crow."
So far as the Jamestown Exposition
goes the negro is incident, not peculiar.
It was entirely right and in order that
the colored race should have an oppor
tunity to exhibit their individual and
race progress. The negro is of the
South, is best treated and most repre
sentative of this section, therefore if he
shall show his progress at the James
town Exposition, there is no reason
whatever a comment should be made.
There will be hundreds of thousands of
negroes at the Jamestown Exposition
next year sight seeing, and their not
being given a chance to show what ad
vancement, as a race they have made,
would be absurd, it would be more con
sistent to bar out foreign . nations,
showing their progress, as to bar the
colored people of the South. , '.
The right kind of a negro exhibit
will no doubt prove a healthy and
wholesome stimulus to the thousands of
that race who visit Jamestown, and
the management will do the right thing
in seeing that such an exhibit is given
display.
CHEAT OPPORTUNITY TO
ADVERTISE NEW BERN
There are notices almost daily in the
newspapers, certainly weekly, telling
of cities throughout the country which
i, re a .Ivertising their resources, telling
f their special advantages for capital
i, of their situation for the Investor
; ! Inline seeker.
: s this city advertising through
i methods and agencies, many
i me borrowing money for im
l . id betterments, which moans
vd features fur outsiders, and
; i'..'cv in 'people with
, f :-: y. r.MHHKt cU'-senfi.
I ! ' ' ' ' ' --i t" - re is
merit and great financial and industrial
growth for the cities which enier this
race to attract outsiders, and those cit
ies which fail to realize the need yt
this, or hesitate to act once the course
is seen, are going to remain deserted
and non-progressive and to be forced
into the back ground.
Next year will be the two hundredth
anniversary of the settlement of New
Bern, and this offers a great opportuni
ty for its citizens to get together, and
advertise Old New Bern so well as to
make every one forget its age, and de
sire to tke up their residence here at
once, in a place that shows so' much
public spirit, and which offers so many
attractive chances for the investor or
business man. . This two hundredth an
niversary could be made the Occasion
covering several days, of presenting a
great out-door scenic series of tableaux,
dealing and treating of the great events
of ti.ia city's past history, and ar.-anged
in the right way and presented under a
management which would not hesitate
to do it right, and on a great and elab
orate scale, it would prove of tremend
ous value to New Bern and attract
thousands here during the days of the
presentation of the scenic historical dis
play, and advertise the city a hundred
times the cost. This work, if underta
ken, should be started at ence so that a
complete presentation may be made and
time be taken in getting all in order.

Police Court News.
Mayor Patterson has the pleasure of
being able to give a brute the limit of
the law without a bit of compunction
of conscience. Weldon Mann' was
charged with cruelty to animals. He
is a transfer driver for Mr. C. M.
Heath and had been using the horse on
the hack all day. At night he drove to
Vanceboro giving the poor animal bare
ly time for feeding, He drove back
reaching New Bern at day break so as
to be ready for business next day with
the same horse. Nature, however,
came to the relief of the animal and it
collapsed, saving it from further abuse
at the hand of a merciless driver. The
Mayor ordered Mann to pay 50 dollars
fine or go to jail for 30 days.
Buelah Lane, Annie Bason and Sam
uel Lewis were each fined one dollar
and costs or $4.15 for each case for dia
o.derly conduct. The female part of
this outfit seemed to be long on cussing
and they showed they were adepts in
calling each other dirty names.
D. P. Hooker was fined five dollars
for disorderly conduct.
Two young white men were found
guilty of cursing each other and taxed
with the costs.

Was it a Suicide?
Yesterday afternoon two gentlemen
who had been driving over in No. 7
township, returning found a colored
man lying beside the road, in a dying
condition. The man was 'apparently
about thirtyyears of age, was neatly
dressed, and was lying on his face hold
ing in his hand an empty pistol The
stricken man was unconscious and per
fectly helpless, with just life in him.
He had been discovered by some pass
ing colored people before the white
men appeared upon the scene, but they
were afraid to approach what they
thought was a dead man. The place of
discovery was on the south side of
Scotta Creek in what is called Gray
wood, and the dying man is said to be
one Charles Rhodes. The "gentlemen
came on to town, were unable to give
any particulars as they made no exam
ination of the body. A crowd of the
people living near by had gathered in
the meantime. It is not known whether
it is a suicide or came from natural
causes. 1
