'" V Hick Inaugurated at The Court House by A Largely At tended Mass Meeting. ' The court house was filled last night by those who are opposed to the dis pensary movement and had been called thither at a call to organize a campaign against it. Mr. J. C Whitty called the meeting to order and immediately there after Mr. D. E. Henderson made a motion that Mr. Whitty be made tem porary chairman. W. S. Colton was made secretary of the meeting. Upon the motion of Rev. W. A. Ayers Rev. R. C. Heaman was intro duced as the first speaker. AH who have heard the gentleman speak know bow energetic and convincing he ia and that he is one of the most magnetic speakers ever before a New Bern aud ience. In prefacing his remarks Mr. Beaman said he did not know when he came to New Bern that he should so soon be in a fight, he was a man of peace more than war but many others who are pushed to the corner ne win fight when the good of the community demands it. . ' . It is unfortunate that question tf temperanoe is divided by sentiment that the idea of a .respectable saloon had been placed before the public, that prominent men, even church workers hid been blinded by the specious argu ments of those who favored the dispen sary, and that tne liquor question ouce decisively settled by the votes of a community should be agitated. There is only one solution of the problem ana that is the settling forever of the vex ing question when you have secured prohibition. ' The speaker said that he had no quar rel with those who favored the dispen sary nor had he a desire to quarrel There were many good men who were honest in their opinion that the dispen sary was better than such flagrant viola tions of the law as are seen in the bund tigers, speak easies and many other il licit modes of liquor selling and for that n ason they favored it; but when the dispensary has fastened its clutches on the people an J bsfore they have had them a year they will see what a mis take they have made. It is merely bringing back the saloons in any form. There is a mistaken idea that bund tigers do not exist where a dispensa ry. They do exist, in dispensary towns as much as where prohibition rules. No matter how respectable may be the cause which they expect to gain by the coming election it is still the same old liquor question that we have fought so long. The saloon under a new name and new regulations, and we propose to bury the traffic so deep that not even a bubble will rise to the surface. There is no revenue arising from dispensary and if there were how can we enjoy the things that are said to be helped by the revenue thus made when we know it is made out of the misery and degrada tion of humanity. A temperance cru sade must be fought on the high lines of civic righteousness and not on a com mercial basis with such a question as "what are we going to get out of this?" The product of the dispensary or the sa loon is the same the drunkard lying in the gutter. If the devil ever perpe trated a joke on the human family it was when he established the dispensa ry and he probably gave utterance to his wildest hilarity when this idea cry s talized into tangible form. The war is on and the conflict will be fierce, and there may be times when the hosts of the evening may seem to have gained the advantage; But when the smoke of battle on election day shall have cleared away we shall find the deadest issue that ever lay with its feet turned to the sun. Rev. W. A. Ayers was the next speaker and he made a few brief re marks to make his stand on the side of prohibition. He cited the case of four young men who met their death in Wil mington within the short space of time between Christmas and New Year on account of liquor either directly or in directly. He also made a strong ap peal for the sake of the young man. Mr. Ayers was followed by Revs. Ed- mondson, Douglass and Garth, all of whom expressed their hearty co-operation against the dispensary. After the meeting the men in the as sembly signed their names as members of the Anti-Dispensary. Upon motion of Rev, Ayers, Rev. Beaman was appointed a committee of one to endeavor to secure the services of Rev. George R. Stuart for one lec ture on temperance before the elec tion, . p a j mm 2 I fllll ififfgii Illli a fro;,:isi:;g mi An Attractive Village .

When the fact that Buster Brown will be seen at the New Masonic Opera House next Wednesday' night becomes known throughout our community there is scarcely a doubt that in many a f ami ly there will be resolutions made as strong as any made by the pen of pro lific Buster, but the local "Resolves" will all have the one subject matter and that will be ways and 'means to be present at the'fun dispensing visit of the inimitable Buster as noted above This season Master Rosen plays Buster, and to his credit be it said that he is saturated and imbued through and through with the spirit that actuated R. F. Outcault when he first limned Buster on paper. Mr. Outcault created an ideal Buster. Master Rosen has made him t flesh and blood affair ex haling hilarity existing for the fun .of the thing and the current tour of Bus ter will see hint with all new stage set tings and environment while the stage full of comelv maidens ever attendant will be heard in new and popular songs occenuated by most elaborate costumes everyone new and up to the hou. Never has so good an organization been seen In this popular musical comedy as we are promised and to the reader we offer the happy suggestion "Resolve" that you will be one of the many to pay homage to "Buster Brown." A. P. N. The Tidewater railroad is an enter prise which has excited more interest than has been undertaken in the South for many years- - The mystery connec ted with it has increased the' interest inasmuch as the apparent purpose of the road was not known nor were the prospective terminal points known. But the fact that it would be a rail road of vast importance, that the plans for its construction were made on a gigantic : scale and that there were many millions back of the enterprise was enough to start more than ordina ry curiosity. The purpsse and route of the road became known in a little while and this doubled the interest. That it would tap the comparatively new and very - fertile coal fields of Tennessee and their product brought to the sea board by the most direct route possible and that H. H. Rogers, of the Stand ard Oil Co, was the sole owner of the railroad, settled a few questions but did not diminish the interest taken in the road. The Tidewater furnishes the best il lustration of scientific and rapid rail road building that haa yet been made. Beginning less than a vear ago, fifty miles of the more than two hundred miles of it is graded and built. This practically insures the completion of the road by 1908 as the work will be carried on more expeditiously. While the road is not to be a great thorough fare for the traveling public it will be a very important road and is one of the first to enter the coalfields mentioned. And as has been stated its object is the transportation of eoal to the seaboard. It has the advantage over every other road that money is not lacking to make it the moft perfectly constructed rail road in the world. While all these details are interest ing, they do not, however, impress the people of this section, as do the prepa rations fof the terminus ot the road at Norfolk. Jhe immense yards containing depots shops, offices, and all buildings- includ ing miles of switches and sidetracks will be located adjoining the grounds of the Jamestown Exposition. The yards bor dering on Hampton Roads for a short space, it is made convenient for the corporation to build eight enormous coal piers, each . costing 11,000,000 whxh will be the wonder of mecnanical genius. It is said of them that they are to be built with as much care as in their way is a watch. These yards will give employment to at least 3000 men. The railroad itself will give employment to still more and for the sake of convenience they will have to live in this vicinity. With rare foresight a plat of ground known as as Terminal He'ghts, immediately ad joining the Tidewater yards and less than a half mile from the Exposition grounds has been slaked off and lots are being sold at rapid rate. The plat occupies a site peculiarly situated and there is no other available land in that vicinity where such property can be had. , One must buy in this place if be wishes to get the best investment pos sible and therefore the advantages of buying property in that plat are many and great. " The lots are being taken. The streets are all wide and in perfect condition, the sidewalks are of the sub' stantial and durable granolithic mater ial. Handsome trees adorn the streets, several beautiful residences are under construction) and money placed in these lots is a guilt edged inves'ment yield ing anywhere from 50 to 100 per cent on the amount expended.

Before The Female Benevolent Society by Rev, Dr. Beaman The annual meeting of the Female Benevolent Society,' was held in the Methodist church Sunday night, and the pastor; Rev. Dr. R. C Beaman, preached the sermon on the occasion. Owing to a misunderstanding, Dr. lies man was not informed of the unusual event until It was too late to make special preparation. However, his sermon was very ap propriate for the occasion and was a strong and forceful discourse on the text found in Fhilliplans I; 21, "For me to' live is Christ" The speaker contrasted the Christ life with the world life, and showed by the compar ison what a life of good works would accomplish, and made practical applica tion of the Christ life in the philanthro pic work of the organization which he was addressing. Self denial, be said, for the cause of suffering humanity, was the Christ life which the apostle lived and to which he exhorted those to whom he wrote, the welfare of the other man should be the desire of every one and it is this principle that the Female Benevolent Society observes.
