New Bern N C April 6 1909
HERE IS ANOTHER AAMVL'RSARY
; With, this Issue, the Journal enters
upon '"the thirty second year of its
career, as a Weekly publication, and
the twenty eighth, as a Daily. -
That these years have been full of
work,' anxiety,' hardship and meager
recompense ' for its editors, needs no
detail in the telling. There has been
simply the spirit of local pride, that
has kept most of the Journal's own
ers at the desk, grinding out an exls-
tence of poor returns, In a material
way.' And yet looking backward, no
, citizen of . New Bern will deny that
those who ',. conducted the Journal
through years of leanness, when the
community was in need of a spirit of
optimism, " that the Journal was on
hand to point the way to better t.imes,
and to give encouragement and per-
' suade the down-hearted, to take hold
. again. ' ..
If the Journal has not met the re
quirements as a newspaper, as it has
seemed to many, it was not due to the
editor's .failure to recognize the fault
but rather., the fact, that local condi
tions prevented his reaching the point
of aftaitunent. Tbe outsider can nexer
be the -correct judge to say why an
editor fails to meet such and such a
condition. In publishing a local news-
paper. .However these apparent short
' . .(,-..
comings. It cannot be charged that any
editor or proprietor of the Journal
has failed in civic pride, or been neg
llgetft, to this community and its in
terests, or been faithless to bis trust
In upholding the moral Institutions
that, the people declared for. It. has
ben the effort of the Journal, as far
. as possible, to measure up to its com
munity's, needs, to represent at. home
and abroad, New Bern, her best inter.
eats, and' to strive for their further
ance v ''". ' ' i
IS CHARLOTTE TO BE SPECTA-
The above query .would b answered
by any citizen of Charlotte, "of course
If there is any tssne calling for dis
play." But In this Instance tbe query
la directed to the municipal politics
ot that city, which the following In
the' Charlotte Observer Is enough tc
warrant being styled, spectacular:
( Apropos to this and to the gen
erally credited rumor that Mr. Mc
Nlnch will enter the field against
Mr. T.,W. Hawkins for the mayor
alty,, an Interesting and sugges
tive fact is recalled that, both,
these gentlemen Voted the nation
al Republican ticket In the last
election as well ai previously and -that
it either Is chosen for the
hljth office to which they asplro,
Cliarlotte, a Democratic strong-,
hold, will be administered by a na
tlomil Kepiibllcan. This is not
stated In any Sense as a reflection
upon anybody or anything but as .
a sidelight or Indication of exist
ing conditions. The fact has been
commented on frequently that thr

those who would claim the natural

AS UNLIMITED INDUSTRIAL Fl'-
TIRE.
No one can place a just estimate
upon the industrial possibilities ttuit
await development in the North Car
olina section, that may be snid to lay
between the Iiuckhorn Falls near Ral
eigh, and the Yadkin Falls, for wltii
the Immense electrical power being
secured at, these two points, power, the
all important question for industrial
promotion and development, is solv
ed. Raleigh, with 60,000 volts,' for her
own use and to be partially distri
buted to Fayetteville and Sanford.
Salisbury, as a distributing station, for
8S.000 volts, from the Yadkiu Falls, the
future outlook In its greatness, is hard
to fully grasp in what may bedevelop
ed in Industrial lines.
From both of these cities, there will
no doubt be radiating lines, and as
the electric juice flows so must there
be created trade and commerce, and
the limit., can only be as man's capa
city is able, to take advantage of what
nature Is providing so bountifully.
North Carolina has boasted of Its
nature advantages, and now with pow
er to assist, there Is a future of devel
opment, that at present can have no
signs of ceasing for several genera
tions. The all Important question,
just now is, will North Carolinians t
the chief beneficiaries of these possi
bilities, or will outsiders come in and
secure the chief benefits? -
