M. C aa spcond-claes matter. New Bern, N. C, January 19, 1909. BOYS ARE WORTH SAYING The mayor's court had a sad exht l.t, tV.a week, when several young white boyg were brought In, charged with insulting a lady on the Academy .-"reeu. These boyg are making their Brat appearance, in a serious role. Perhaps some of these boys have gone to the graded school, and disobeying Its rules, have been turned away. All f these boys quite likely have pa rents, but do these parents know of .he daily and nightly doings of their boys? It is a sad sight to see boys, young boys who ought to be at school, any way at some employment, brought be fore a court, and fined. Too often thig is held as a joke, but It ig far worse, for familiarity with being ar rested and held in court, breeds and and develops the criminal. The crim inal means an ever present threat and menace to society. No citizen wants to see young boys taken up charged with any offense. Arrest means a diubsement of the mo ral character, and it tends to the creation of a criminal. These boys are not likely t0 be, naturally, crimr nally inclined. Idleness la the pro moter of the criminal, and society must be protected against this crim inal. The cure of the evil is before tne aanger nas gone too far, in this case taking the idle boyg in hand by the county authorities and by the law's force becoming guardians 'of their moral welfare by directing their ways along lines of healthy and useful oc cupation. There is a parental demand to watching and caring for these boys It la unfortunate that this authority Is cot exercised. But if it is not, then iho county should exercise its power rad compel these boyg to work, by provMlns them the work. A county work house could be established and ,hei boyj be taught some trade, and vhik learning they could be doing ,-.;alr or some kind of work that the touiitr needs. These boys are worth saving 'or taensaelvea, even If the more selfish At aire, the protection of aoefety be the ejeei toht. fn placing Idle boya, where they will be kept from mls eafof and then crime, and be made use sul and good cltlxeng when thiy grow P. THE F0A8T OF OTHER DAYS In one of the melodrama of years i-.o, tbd action of the play being laid In California, one of the characters in his every speech, ends with, "glor ious climate, California!" It is not far to remember the days when New Bern not merely boasted but bad the best Fair in North Caro lina. Its annual exhibit were shown in February, because this section could boast a climate at that season when our waters our fields, our for ests, and our air, all yielded most graciously and bountifully, and gav to New Bern the opportunity to show outsiders what a goodly land was this, of the Neuee and Trent rlr . I . It was not a rain boast, this Fair sad Its exhibits. Visitors from s thou sand miles came, to enjoy and Join In the praise of this section. It dl auUe and Its products. ' - ! . j Today the same fine climate pre tail.. Nature Is lavish t this East ern Carolina section, and yet oor peo pie do not Join In making nature add to Its gift of climate, soil and other advantagees. Juat an aooepuuoe, with hardly s thought of thanks, much lea the endeavor (o make more, because so much Is given. -." ' ' It Is the word for one' town, for one's community that goes s good wtyg. The boast comes pretty sear being a boast, for It belns. to create (he sentiment that must precede ad vancement. ' . New Bern should not drop behind. in this local sel'-respect. that makes the citizen both feel and say his is the "beat town." It will be the boast that will urge the doing of things, for every citizen will feel the need, in having boasted, to see that the boast Is made good, in better local condi tions. TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES. PAST AND PRESENT The presentation of the transporta ton question by Mr. G. N. Ives, show ing the difference in the service today and ten years ago calls for serious study upon the part of the Norfolk & Southern railroad management. When it can be shown that the trucking in terests of New Bern section eannot enter into the work, because of in adequate transportation facilities, tiiere is just one thing to do, to remedy this, and this must be done, or there will be no trucking done in this sec tion, and the Norfolk and Southern will lose the haul that ten years ago wag worth many thousands of dol lars to boat and railroad companies. In removing every boat from ser vice, between New Bern and Eliza beth City, when the Norfolk and South era completed its all rail line from this city to Norfolk, no doubt the man agement did so, believing its railroad eould handle the traffic. It is not to be considered that this company had any desire, by the removal of the steam boats, to Injure New Bern. The boat removal was done because it seemed to lessen the cost. It may have lessened the cost, but as shown by Mr. Ivee, and by the present freight business of the Norfolk and Southern it has crippled the trucking Interests of this section. Ten years ag0 the trucking season was a live one in this city. Men, wo men and children, carts, drays and wagons, Barges, flats, row boats and small river steamers, all were active ly engaged for weeks, and there was a flood of money and checks coming and going through the trade channels of this city. Take it last year. Hard ly a thing doing, except a few carts going to the railroad freight platform no one was gelling any truck. There were no active scenes on dock and rivers. The colored people were not thronging the market, with their pro duce. All this makes a great differ ence. It cannot be that any transpor tation company would seek, wilfully, to kill all this local business, for Its passing away means loss to the rail road people. If the real situation is known the Norfolk and Southern people have fall ed to rightly gauge the business, pas senger and freight, of this section,, and have been staggering along the best they could, and the public and bust negg have suffered. The railroad folks may say, wait until the Albemarle Sound is bridged, then the freight will be handled expeditiously. This Is the future. A season of trucking will be lost. The promise 'or better passen ger facilities remains open. The real situation is that the bust ness today can scarcely be handled between here and Norfolk. This Is a dull period. What will happen If the business Increases? It mean gerloua lose for thig section, a hindrance In its development and check in its trade expansion. Hew's This!
