SEW ORLEANS AXD PANAMA CA
; - XAL COMPLETION.
At first thought, the efforts of the
citizens committee of 25 members, of
New Orleans, taking preliminary steps
towards plans for a bl-oceanlc, or
Panama Canal Exposition, looks like
a very forward movement, out long in
advance as the exposition proposes to
gelebrate the completion of the great
801 pf Panama. But there is great
work ahead, If the exposition is to be
come a reality, even if it is to be held
as proposed In 1915 or 1916. Together
with the citizens committee, the other
local associations of New Orleans, the
Progressive Union and the Merchants
and Manufacturers' are giving them
support, and 8 call has been issued to
the people o fthe Southern Valley and
western states, whose interests "will
all be materially affected by the Pan
ama canal completion to meet in con
ference in New Orleans on June 27th.
The object of the conference will be
to get the personal views o fthe sev
eral delegations attending, see if the
several states will act together to
make the proposed exposition a buc
Cess, and if agreed, then to formulate
definite plans towards the creation of
: the exposition.. The city of New
Orleans proposes to raise $5,000,000,
and 'the state of Louisiana, probably
92,000,000 additional. It is thought
these amounts can be Increased to
$15,000,000 from other states, If the
sentiment favors in the conference,
-that the exposition be held.
This exposition would celebrate a
tremendous industrial and commer
cial achievement while other exposi
tions held in this country have, had for
a basis, the commemoration of some
local historical event The difference
is noteworthy. New Orleans with Us
site at Lake Ponchartraln, would be
the ideal national place for sueh an
exposition. -
WILL SEW BEKJf CEASE TO BE A
SEA POET?
Naturally, the question above will
be held as a joke, or if seriously con
sidered, will be answered, "of course
not!" If left to New Bernlans, to de
termine, could It be answered so posit
tlvely? The Journal asks, will New
.Bern, cease to be a seaport, anticipat
ing the action of the Norfolk and
Southern Railroad Company, which:
makes no secret, that when its rail
road line between this city and Waehf
ington, can carry the passenger traf
tie, it now handles part of the freight,
the steamers,- Neus and 'Albemarle,
now running -between this city and
.Belhaven, will be taken off.
A few years ago, the Journal gl
ted the question, of a steamboat be
tween New Bern and Baltimore.
chamber of commerce stirred In the
matter. But there was no result, ami
the merchants Who said they would
take stock, are as formerly, paying
for goods by the old lines of trans
portation, and probably complaining
ot high freight rates. At present, the
chamber ot commerce, to dignify ls
existence by mention, Is In a coma
tose state. By name it V at tims
mentioned, and perhaps if needed,
like the - scare to alarm children,
might be used aa a "bogle man" Sto
represent something . not here, bjut
villi h can be appealed to. " ' .
Lat beyond this, the question is.jls
t mercantile trade of New Bern
I-1 to sit pHsively . down, and ijot
i ' e aa effort, once the prer nt
!p p'rvlce is dropped, to hive
r t lea i's i liice, a ei'rvire t'':at
! i : ' rs to I . ,ie or
every trade Interest here? It may be
beyond local ability to establish a
transportation service by water to
some northern port It it la, there Is
money and business talent elsewhere
that can be secured, by proper effort
The move can be made by the mer
chants, and their efforts' could be
backed up by every eitizen. To have
a water way, and not make it a means
to benefit local trade, when the op
portunity . Is open, would prove de
plorable from very point of view.
The time for action is now.
the stimulant of health!
-., example!
The force ot example being so tar
ahead of Just "precept, is illustrated '
every day. The telling how things
should he done, without the knowl-:
edge and capacity to perform, or know j
that the work undertaken, is correct, 1
amounts to nothing. And yet to the
ignorant or lazy, the example ot good
work, provokes enmity and hatred, j
Even to persons who hold themselves
as intelligent and industrious, the ex
ample of others who gain great suc
cess, excites jealousy and envy. t .
But there is the broad view to be
taken of both example and precept.
Example is the healthy, active force,
present, visible, exhilarating. To the
strong and ambitious, it is a most
healthy force. It provokes to greater
effort, and excites to greatest endeav
or . To the individual, the example of
an honorable and upright life, cannot
but prove helpful. It is something
that nearly every man and woman
overlooks, the thought Pf their force
upon others, in the way they live their
daily lives. Every day offers the op
portunity of proving oneself an ex
ample, that may be of help to some
one else. And very little things go to
make up a force, a character, to have
its weight and influence on others. The
unselfishness and courtesy, easy to
learn and acquire, have wrought won
ders in the advancement of society
progress and Christianity.
, And in municipal development and
growth, it is the individual force of
the citizenship which Is behind, to
create the strong municipality. As in
the person, so in the municipality,
character and force must predominate
to win. The stimulant of some ex
ample, has often developed and
brought out the greateet 'individuals,
cities and nations. Those who looked
at the example, saw its character, the
results that developed, and taking up
the same line, secured greater results
than those whose example prompted
the first line of action. The good that
is in any individual may be developed
into a. force that will become an ex
ample for others, and through them
perpetrate an -ever Increasing force
for right, that will lead to and bring
sooner the millennium.

lawn social on the beautiful church

the cause se needy that the young peo

"Sometimes it settled in my . knees
and lamed mo so I could hardly walk,
at other times it would bo in my feet
and hands so I was incapacitated for
duty. One night when I was in severe
pain and lame from it my wife went
to the drug store here and came back
with a bottle of Chamberlain's Paiu
Balm. I was rubbed with it and found
the pain had nearly gone during the
night. I kept on using It for a little
more than two weeks and found that
it drove the rheumatism away. I have
not had any trouble from that disease

great spirit in the game. , ' '
The game was called at 5 o'clock
