Mil SCHOOL ADVANCEMENT ; The steady advance of the school . habit in New Bern, warranted every. :k.. fc.-.-'v ! mniA away w wswwita ut ssj wu tuu m tha graded school la this city. It anything is obligatory. It Is the de .mand4that every child shall be given .. an education. This obligation talis upon every communitytherefore upon every citizen. This obligation is more 1 than a moral one. It la one of pro- j ; taction, tor the idle child, untutored and untrained, becomes an expense no on ine community, most onen as a criminal. The preservation of a com mualty lies In educational training ..of its youth, for without this, there . must coma, and ever present' a war upon society and government, by the untrained and illiterate, who were refused an education. The friends of f . ... education in New Bern have worked (or school Improvements and increas ed, and enlarged school facilities, with the double idea ot the moral and the . commercial benefits to come to th? . city and section, because out of the .aojarged educational training would com a citizenship worth the cost and efltort, manv times over. The trainea boy and girl would mean an indus , .trial, a productive man and woman, . that would bring Increase to the an .. tire community, in the way of skilled, Intelligent and honest labor . . The better made and equipped school huUdlngs, were not brought . to the .present state, unless the Intent bad . bean to have an equally capable force Ot teaehara to take charge and be pre ' pared to meet the demand made by parents, for an education for then ., children. No business man for a mo .. meat would expect to have his trade Increase ten told, and not know tn advanoe that the preparation' for the , Increase would necessitate extra cost to. handle the Increase. And, no citf : ce of New Bern expects to nave the -graded scSjbi properly conducted to day, with the same tax, or the same amount of expenditure, as has pre . Tailed in the past' School Improve ments, educational advancement la not to be expected unless there be provided the school revenue to meet the - Increasing needs of the times.. There are taxes paid that show no apparent t result,' but not so a school ' tax. It . gives the greatest results, and results that (row greats, with every year. ' ... ' The school tax of New Bern, twelve and naif cents, compared to that paid by other ciUes in" North Carolina, Is so amaB that It makes every friend of the graded school feel ashamed. Tha graded school advancement Is a good one, and 1 now remains to fully maintain the advance. ' An Increase of uhool tax must be made to success- fully do thia. TSACI 60ES U5LESS WATCHED ' No merchant no city can retain buKtuess, unless there be a watch to pievsnt Ita going elsewhere.

Tte netts 1 1 . . sui t!ie attrscllv. of this Irai. Any merchant Mjr sea to It that Mi regular trad la held, and look after any possible loss. But tbs single trade contest oa toe part of the tn dividual merchant. Is hard to maintain 1 The trader may want goods of a di vert lAed character. His rsgular mer chant majr not have all he wants, and Sg he, Ja easily persuaded to go to the town, which offers the goods. And the' farmer with his produce wants a hltf "market, and if he sells his pro- duct. Jit a nigh price, he does not care .about the price, he pa?s for the goods he may want for his household, Every business interest of New Bern demands a local trade organisation, a ,Chafmbr Commerce, to look after the mercantile and industrial welfare of this city. .Look at other cities. Washington, our nearest neighbor has an. activ Chamber of Commerce 01 business. The people of that city are taklng.no chances, but are going af ter business, actively and progressive- not .8,tt,n Btm vwatrhinjr and waiting for trade to come but ; are going after it No matter what national advantages may exist -here, they will not be really available unless there may be active work to eain trade for this city. AROUSED TO ACTION BY LOCAL SEEDS. How .the merchants and citizens of a community joined togetner seeing that local trade conditions were des perate, and only through their own positive and concerted action was there to be any remedy, ia seen in the case of Washington, N. C. 'A Chamber ot Commerce, not a dead one by any means, was called to lead the change. A meeting of its mem bers started the work and engaged a secretary from oujalde, a live, ex perienced man. This secretary was given full charge, to use the Wash lngtonlan word, ' to "boost things." The membership was first taken up, and from 46 to 167 In tw0 montha was the result By unanimous con sent, the monthly dues were increased from fifty cents - to one dollar, with an Income provided of $2,400. At the last meeting of this Chamber, the Pres ident announced that there was want ed a guarantee fund ot $600, above the $2,400 expenses already entered into. The secretary at once addressed the meeting, there were forty two mem bers present, and In fifteen minutes $800 was pledged as a guarantee, and the secretary said the amount would be raised to $3,000, as soon aa he could call upon those not present This Indicates the spirit that is arous ed, that will pay and guarantee over $4,000 for Chamber of Commerce work. The industrial work of this Chamber has resulted In one factory already, a ftiynee; la contemplation, and the possibility at an early day of the build lng of an electric car line system. ., The business men, merchants and citizens generally, saw that a crisis had come In the affairs of their city. Action was demanded, and it was seen that first to help themselves was to cause the relief. The above is the story of part o what they have done and they are stUl at it ; . . Hsw's Thlst .

Richmond, Ind., is trying to compel a lighting company to put Ita wires un der ground and at the same time is stringing Its own lighting wires over head in the same street As the com pany's wires are no more dangerous or disfiguring than the city wires It ia clearly a case of arbitrarily borttenlng a competitor with a heavy expense which the city plant avoids, This Is corporation baiting, and of coarse 1 volves a lawsuit tor which the consum ers will ultimately have to pay. Calumet Mich., recently revoked the franchise of Its gas - company and granted a new franchise permitting the company to charge more for; Its prod uct It did this after a careTui tavestl; gation showed that the company could not make a reasonable profit at the price- permitted by the old franchise. The consumers as well as the stock holders will ultimately profit by this, as they will of coerse get better serv ice from a thriving than from g starr ing company. : A Neighing Cock. .. . , -. Camden aaya the Thames was once called the Cockney, and therefore a cockney means simply one who lire on the banks of the Thames; Wedg wood says a cockney, or cockerney. k one pampered by city Indulgence, In contradistinction to rustic hardened by outdoor work. There la. however, a legend, almost too good to be troe-r namely, that a Londoner who bad never before slept out of sound of Bow Bells had occasion to go Into the country and was detained all , night He was much disturbed by the lowing of the rattle, the grunting of the ptgi and other sounds of country life, which he could not understand, and Isr par ticular he was frightened by the crow ing of the cock. In the morning. In response to the farmer's Inquiries, he said the sound of the wild beasts had kept him awake. Jaat at that mo ment the cock crowed again, and Uw Londoner ssld: That's the ooel He's been neighing like thst for' aoursr Unce then Londoners have net called ocknelghs or cockaeva Lessee la a Welsh City. The Cardiff city treasurer la bis re port to the electric light and tramways committee oa tn working of these undertaking for the year 1907-8 states that the amount required for deprecia tion oa the tramways le 14.C22, that the net profit appropriated to deprecia tion Is 8,808 and that there la conse quently a deficiency of 5,714. The cost of repairs on the permanent way has Increased from 3,703 la 1007 te 7.064 In 1908. The loee oa the elec tricity undertaking Is 911, and, as the sum of 2,223 should be set asUe for depredation, the actual deficiency 0 the year's working Is 3,734.
