The, solution o( part.ot the payment
for1 the city's concrete pavements, ap.
peara lacking. That Is the portion
aet down aa payable by property own
era. according to the pavement fron
tage .on.. .their lottv The city's bond
iaaue provided tor, possibly, two-thirds
of the pavements and curbing. This
would leave one-third that property
owner would have to pay for. In pro
portionate, part, aa the pavements
were, laid in front of their property.
The city- has sent property owners
notice of what their property is charg
ed with. . The collection of this money
- la wholly, unsuccessful, and yet the
city la liable for the payment of the
pavements and curbing work, which
are Bow being paid for as laid and
accepted. The time is not distant
wheat the proceeds of the bond sale
will become exhausted, and the city
7 aiust pay for the work. There is noth
' log to indicate that property owners
are going to make payments, certainly
not--In . sufficient amount to provide
pay meats for the one-third, or what
ever maybe charged, as the property
.waers part It Is not that property
owners desire to repudiate the pave
Banta. But there are local conditions
which, can only be appreciated by
taoaV living in New Bern. First it
Biay be said, that many property own
ershad no idea that the pavements
involved individual property liability.
Many have pavements before their
lots who neVer voted for the pave
taanta, or wanted them. Coming down
to those who accepted the bond Issue
. In ail ta bearings, they may be placed
- tn three casses, those who will pay.
Those' who can, but will not, upon the
' plea that the pavement does not meet
tta contract, "and those who are wM-
v UVbut actually cannot raise, by any
sneaae, the call of tha city for their
proportionate share. Tola last class
t ma be said to be from 75 toSO per cent
f ail the property owners, who are pre
amed Jo. be liable, and the fact that
they cannot meet tha obligation, car
taJ&ly not in time when the pavements
- '' moat, bepald for, makes the problem,
how are the pavements to be paid fr.
one eejllng (or speedy solution, j
. i Co fa aa the Journal aaa see there
, la tot one solution, and this Is one
tha will relieve the entire situation,
reve equitable to every citizen, be a

' attx from Ulng la financial stress
wheif-' payments are called for la final
' ' aettlement for the payments.. This Is
tor the city to issue bonds for 120,009
. ,ar $30,000 which will no doubt be sui
tehal t pay tor the completion of
"the pavements. These bonds can be
like la interest and time for payment
as waa the 160,000 lesue for this same
twerk. As already said such a bond Is
;aua would save the city'a credit and

clothing, shelter for the' preservation
of lite and health, haa had to go on.
Some one haa had to pay for . the
necessities needful. The grocer, the
clothing merchant, the landlord waa
back of each ' separate 'commodity.
Each had to be paid. Back of the re

ducer had received his pay. '.f-i
' But bank failures, crop failures, de
pressed trade conditions are urged
aa excuses for non-payment of bills,
by many who are only in a degree af
fected, not directly. The cleric on
salary, the laborer on wages, through
their pay be reduced cannot well put
up the plea for non-payment of bills
they may contract tor the necessities
of lite. The business man who makes
expenses has no good excuse to ask
postponement of the payment of his
accounts. Hard times are made worse
through the refusal to pay bills, by
those who really can, but who seek
to live better than conditions warrant,
and finding themselves hard pressed
tor money, put of the untrue excuse
that bank, crop or some other failure
haa taken their money. Every dollar
that can be paid on bills due, every
dollar that ' can be paid for goods,
paid for labor, lnsteaad of aaklng cre
dit in one, and postponement in the
other, meaans a help to trade condi
tlons, and will bring good times, if
enough people can follow the same
course. It Is not the honest reasons
for slow or non-payment of bills, that
cause bad local conditions, but the
Uniform and untrue excuses made for
asking for credit, and then not meet
ing thee bills when presented.

A Traveling Kan's Experience.
"I must tell you my experience on
an East Bound O, R. A N.R H. train
from Pendleton to LeGrande, Ore.,
writes Sam A. Garber,, a well known
traveling man. "I was in the smoking
department with some other traveling
men when one ot them came back
and said, "There is a woman sick unto
death in the car.' I at once got up
and went out, found her very ill, with
cramp colic, her hands and arms were
drawn up so you could hot straighten
them, and with a death like look on
her face. Two or three ladies were
working with her and giving her whis
key. I went to my suit case and got
my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cho
lera, and Diarrhoea Remedy (I never
travel without it) ran to the water
tank put a double dose of the medicine
inthe glass poured some water into it
and stirred it with a pencil; then I
had quite a time to get the ladles to
let me give it to her, but.J succeeded.
I could at once see the effect, and I
worked with her, rubbing her hands
and In twenty minutes I gave her
another lose. By this time we were
almost in LeGrande, where I was to
leave the train. I gave the bottle to
the husband to be used In case ano
ther dose should be needed, bbut by
the time the train ran Into LeGrande
she was all right, and I received the
thanks of every passenger in the car."

President Roosevelt on Canal Work
(Panama Star and Herald.)
The President made pubic a report
made to htm on August 6, a special
committee appointed to Investigate
conditions, especially In regard to la
bor and acommodatlons, on the Isth
mus of Panama. President Roose
velt's letter of appreciation, sent to
the commissioners on August 21, Is
as follows:
"Gentlemen, I have recetveed your
admirable report on the cond'.t'ons
in Panama. I am greatly Impressed
with it and shall submit it to Congress
with appropriate recommendations as
soon as that body convenes. Mean
while I shall send your recommenda
tions to Colonel Goethal and ask him
to put them into effect, so far aa is
possible and as he deems practicable,
and to report to me with his recom
mendations. . -
"I am, naturally, extremely .pleased
at the very satisfactory showing that
your report makes ot the conditions
under Coloel Goethals and his asso
ciates. I doubt it there is any piece
of work undertaken on behalf of the
American people In recent years where
the American people have more rea
son to be proud than of the work done
on the Panama canal. The success
haa literally been astounding. Five
years ago when ws undertook the task
no sane man would have dared hoped
for the results which have already
been achieved. . The work Itself has
been greatly advanced and the rapid
ity of the rate of progress haa steadily
Increased."

' Argentina did what she could to pre

GOVERNOR'S REQUEST FOR AID
The Freshet Has Left People In Many
Parts at the Stale Destitute and
; Assistance 4s Needed. ;
Special to Journal ' . :: , -Raleigh,
Sept 8.- Governor Glenn Is
sues a proclamation to the people of
North Carolina which, he says that
owing to the disastrous rains, rivers
and other streams have overflowed,
and have done untold damage to the
people living along them. Entire crops
have been washed awliy, . farming
lands utterly ruined, many dwellings
destroyed and some lives lost;. Un
told, suffering is upon these people,
on account of this providential visita
tatlon. It behooves thee people of
the entlrer State to ascerta.u where
distress Is, and at once relieve It.
Many sections are entirely laid
waste, especially in Lenoir and Pender
along the Cape Fear river. There is
no authority vested by law to relieve
this suffering or appoint a committee
to investigate and report where suc
cor is most needed. He has reported
conditions to the national government
and begged for a thorough Investiga
tion. He requests each locality where
the damage has been severe to at once
ascertain who truly needs assistance
and report to the Commissioners of
each county. To help these people in
distress will be true humanity. .
