THE COTT02J GAMBLERS
HELP.
It is a harsh term, that of gam
bler, yet if men or women indulge
iu games where the stake is money
or its equivalent, gambler is pret
ty near the only term to be used.
In the August settlement on the
New York Cotton Exchange, this
week Messrs Scales, Hayne and
Brown are designated as "specula
tors." And yet these men are
reported as having pocketed some
four millions dollars, a sum of
money that benefitted no cotton
raiser, certainly injured to some
extent every consumer of cotton
goods, and caused hardships to
h'uudreds of thousands of cotton
mill employes, who usually must
suffer if markets are unnaturally
affected. The August settlement
was simply a gambling transaction
in which a public commodity was
the basis, instead of some purely
mechauical gambling device.
But to justify themselves in this
gamble in August cotton, Messrs
Scales, Hayne and Brown, have
issued a circular, to the cotton in
terests of the South, in which they
attempt to prove that their action
in "squeezing" some other gam
blers, was purely a mer cautile
transaction, that cotton shortage
of the past year crop, and the ex
pected shortage this year, was the
trade warrant for twenty cent cot
ton in August and that the great
est opportunity ever offered the
cotton producers is now at hand.
For with a crop of only 11,500,000
bales in 1910, the producer can
easily get twenty cents for his cot
ton. As for the consumer's the oft
used solace, that with advancing
prices, he will not feel it, for the
cost of goods will be so easy in the
advance in price!
Is any consumer, and cotton pro
ducer, any cotton mill hand de
ceived by these statementajfrom
men who have just pocketed
$1,000,000, when not a cent accru
ed to the ben fit of any of the above,
who are now being reasoned with?
Is it any surprise that the bus!
ness world calls for government
regulation of these operators whose
operations are just gambling?
MORE THAN A LOCAL FAIK
THE NEED.
; The New Bern Fair movement,
under the auspices of the Chamber
of Commerce of this city, is a mat
ter that calls for serious consider
tion and more effort, now that the
year has advanced to the time when
trade and business conditions axe
becoming active. . , .
Whlla the New Bern Fair pro
ject is local in its conception, and
in the matter of situation, yet it
should, not be purely local la its
scheme of exhibits, or ita purposes
of entertainment New Bern Is the
natural point for a Fair for East
ern Carolina where on week In
the year a great exhibit could be
made of the products of this tec
tiun, ami thereby attract a great
mauy people from
who would come here

began to shut down one of those

bellowing. -
."After dinner I went up on the
"bridge and was permitted to stay. The
captain would not enter Into any con
versation that la, I could not talk .to
him, but In his restless pacing up and
down the bridge be would frequently
make a remark to me. It went on that
way for1 hoars, the tog as thick as

the explanation'that he wanted to pass
within a few hundred feet of a cer

I said nothing, but I did not under
stand. Why, the night was so thick
that it was hard work to see from tbe
bridge to the rail, and what could he
mean by making a buoy t , f
"On and on we went, and always the
fog seemed to' me thicker. I could
not sleep, and most of the night I was
on the bridge. When it must have
been nearly morning a new whistling
began to souudn our starboard bow,
as nearly as I cpuld Judge, It was a
fearful fog siren, and kept getting
nearer and nearer. We had stopped
whistling, and tbe passengers were teiv
ribly frightened.- I looked at one ex

tbe bridge, and his, face -was like a
dead man's. Mine must have been also.

giant steamship must strike us, ao
close, waa the whistling, the fog lifted
like veil, and there, not 150 feet
away; was tbe buoy- that the captain
had mentioned. ' ; :-; .

CRUSHES A HOTEL KEEPER.
The Beau Was Elegant In Dress and
. Exquisite la His Bluffing and Played
, Hie . Part Well Never . Known to
Pay a Bill Under Any Circumstances.
. "MhierT love company," quoted
Mr. Tabb, an old time Vlrgmliv gentle
man, thetther night "There's a great
deal of truth In that bid aay Ing.
"Some forty br fifty years ago there
was a celebrated Virginia characterf
well known In Washington, Baltimore
and Philadelphia, whom I shall call
Beau Smith, because Smith wasn't his
real uam. Beau Smith was not only
noted for the elegance of bis dregs, but
also .for his absolute disregard, of; aJl
financial obligations. He was neve!r
nowu to pay a bill Under any circum
stances, --v 'V.'t-V"' 'J.
"Beau entered the office of the old"
Monumental hoteL in Baltlmore'"6ne
night, registered, and : upon- being as-'
signed to one.of the beat suits of roohrt
In too house, for be would he satisfied
obry with the best, he proceeded -to
niuke himself thoroughly at home and
settled down for a long stay; Be or
dered champagne by the case and ci
gars by tbe box for the entertainment
of such friends 'as might visit him in
his apartments and. in short, lived .as
though he had millions behind . him.
The proprietor of tbe hotel, Mr. Guyer,
had heard of Beau, but he could not
believe that be would deliberate run
up such a large bill If be had no Inten
tion of paying It, and be hesitated
a.bout speaking to such an elegant gen
tleman about such an inelegant thing
as money,- but after Beau had been a
guest at the Monumental for more than
a month and. had said nothing about
paying his bill Mr. Guyer suminoned
up bis courage and had .Beau's" hill
made out and sent up to him. in a
few moments Mr. Guyer received- a
polite but urgent message from Beau,
asking him to come to his apartment
at once. ' : -V-'i;-V v" ,;-v '
"1 aent for you, : Mr. Guyer,' said
the inpecunioua beau, to show you a
most remarkable document .which has
been" sent up to me from your office."
I don't wish to complain of : your
clerks, sir, but I dislike being annoyed
la this way. .Will you kindly loot kt'
that and tell me what it tor i-
. 'That , to1 a hllC Mr.-Smith.' said
Guyer; a soon a he recovered hut
breath. :."". : .
. " 'So I observe.'" responded Beatr,
but, Mr. Guyer, It la made out againbt
me.' :-.';-' '-':.!-!':v. ir'; .
"Certainly replied the hotel man.
It Is ouf account against you- for
board and lodging, wines,' cigars and
other extras for the last month, and I
would be glad If you' , is . " f
;'Why, .my dear ..sir,' Interrupted
Beau, laughing, you surely never ex
pected m to pay this bllir , :.
"I most certalnlv did. and do ex
pect you to 'pay it,' answered Mr. -Guyer
firmly. .v.,V' .
st'But, dear lr,'; said Beau gently,
you knew who I was when I cume to
your hOuse.' .'-.''" - '.':'iv;.
' "Mr. Gayer admitted that he did..
"Then, you know,' continued Beau,
that 1 have never been known to pay
a bill to any one., and. no one (u "his
mnsea ever exiiected that I would.
Now, my dear sir. I beg of you to de
stroy this ridiculous document and aee
thaO am not "annoyed again -with
such foolishness.' ,, . ' - " '
."Do you Intend to "pay this -bill ot
notf demanded the hoteL proprietor'
ternly.
'I do hot, replied tb Beau quietly.'
""Very -well, then, I will sue you,
ir.' '. ' ' " -
"That to your privilege, air.
"And I will get a Judgment, too,'
aid Guyer angrily... . . V" ' r.
, "'You will get more 'than tbaC Mr.
Guyer,' resonded Besu calmly. 'You
will get yourself laughed at by tbe en
tire country to being so foolish as to
Imagine that yon could collect a bill
from Beau Smith. Pray do not sub
ject yourself to such ridicule.'..
"Guyer hesitated; he knew bo would
bo laogbed at. unmercifully by every
one, and, then, too, be could not help
but admire tbe colossal cheek ot
Smith, so he sat down again and lit a
fresh cigar. '
. "'Mr. Smith. said he, Til tell you
what I will do. If you will move over
to tb City hotel and play this same
game on old man Barnum J'U give
you a receipt In full for all that you
owe me and say no more about It.' .
"'Becelpt tbe bill, Mr. Guyer,' an
