Oat of a class of forty-one applicants
for license to practice law in this State
at a recent examination held in Raleigh
there were two Craven eounty boys.
Messrs George Willis and Robert Era
mett Whitehurst, of this city. The
young men have not definitely decided
where they will locate, but in all proba
bility in Craven county.
Mr. J. W. Stewart informed the
writer yesterday that as sodn as the in
surance adjusters had arrived and com
pleted their work of determining the
amount of loss on his building on Mid
dle street, which was destroyed by fire
early last Sunday morning, he would
begin the work of rebuilding it. The
front part of the building is injured but
little but the en ire rear part was al
most completely destroyed and it will
be necessary to tear this down and re
build it.
A number of New Bern's most prom
inent citizens a few days ago presented
a petition to the grand jury requesting
them to recommad that the inhabitants
of a certain section of the city and who
have caused the city much trouble re
cently, be compelled to leave the city.
Action was taken on the matter and the
result was that a large number of these
undesirable characters have already
left for other places and the others have
been given orders to leave at once.

THIEVES ENTER
GROCERY STORE
Prepared For Business and Secure
Large Quantity of 'Groceries
From Broad St. G rocery Co. v
A burglary which bore every trace of
having been planned long before it was
executed occurred in this city Sunday
night or early yesterday morning when
rtljp. Broad Street Grocery gf ore on. Broad
street was broken into and , ransacked.
The first known of the robbery was
yesterday morning when Mr. Fodrie,
the proprietor of the establishment;
came down and opened for the day's
buBinea?. V; He noticed that flour was
spilled on the floor and that a sack of
potatoes had been emptied oh the floor.
Upon investigating further he found
one of the rear windows on the second
floor open ami a ruddy made ladder
still leaning against the building. This
ladder wa' brought to the scene by the
thieves and there is not the least doubt
but thit they had made plans several
days previous to rob the store.
Mr. Fodria stated to a Journal repor
ter that he co if I J not definitely say just
what had been stolen, hut that among
other thing was a Cheese and a number
of eggs. 'and that two jf the drawers o
the cash register had bet n broken open
and and a small amount of money taker
therefrom. The matter was reported
to the police and they began an inves
tigation, but up to the present time no
arrests have been made.
An innovation in labor war tractics

New York, Feb. 10. -Cotton has
lately advanced sharply after a violent
reaction early in the weak. The raise of
Wednesday caught the shorts napping
and there csme upward turns Thursday
and Friday, so that the bears have un
doubtedly suffered severe punishment
Heavy covering of short obligations for
Southern, local Wall Street and Wald
or f-Astoria bears has fanned the name
already started by big buying by spat
houses acting on orders - from various
parts of the country. The West has
been buying. Wail Street interests
have taken profits to some extent but
thev are in nanv cases bullish as to th -
outlook. the Pell Thomas interesto, it U
believed, being the leaders in that quar
ter. Memphis and Texas shorts have
covered, it is said, on a big scale. The
Liverpool spot sales have much of the
time been 12,000 to 15,000 bales, Man
cheater, according to all accounts is do
ing an enormous business, partly, ap
parently because of developed stocks in
the countries which it chiefly serves,
favored by a raising price for silver
which has reachel 27 11 161 in London,
the highest quotation for seven years.
It is not specu'ation which has put up
prices at New York during the ptst
week so much as the various buying by
the consumer. Big spit houses have
brooght in some cas'S 50,000 bale, in a
single day.
It has been the bu'lish merchant ver
sus the bearish speculator and the
speculator bus lately been routed, and
he is now turning ti the bull side. The
spot markets at the South have been
conspicuously strong. On a downward
reaction Southern offerings to Liverpool
and other big markets seem to decrease.
The grades at one time so much de
preciated have recently been advancing
in some parts of the South at least even
more rapidly, it is said, than the higher
grades. The demand has been from all
parts of Europe as well as from Japan
and China. Some of the Southern milis
have been buying freely. Even New
England mills have in some cases at
lea.t of late, bought on a larger scale.
Some cotton goods have advanced. The

CHAPTER II.
In my uncle's large front room there
was a safe that he had picked up
somewhere in the dark ages of his
youth, doubtless upon some fore
closure; and It was one of the sim
plicities of his complex mind that he
should cling to It with the faith which
a child reposes In the toy savings
bank in which he had deposited his
treasure. It was a dogged enough
looking contraption, and around It re
volve the- principal characters and
events of this history as a moth cir
cles a flame. Behind the portly doors
were kept the integrals of his fortune;
the mortgages, leases, deeds and notes
that were . the material evidences of
his possessions. While it was nearly
always practically empty of cash, at
remote Intervals, and for a few days at
a time onK it contained considerable
sums In bpecle. This last happened
when he would collect the money on a
mortgage or other security, and be
cause of not feeling well would re
ceive payment at the house instead ot
the bank. Once in a long while this
would chance to occur after banking
hours, or on a Sunday or holiday, and
In that event, after the payee had de
parted, he would give himself over to
a revel with tho currency with all the
delight of a child fondling a new toy.
He did not Beem to care for gold as
the stereotyped miser always does
but would nose around among the
bundles of greenbacks with the seem
Ing fascination of a feline for catalp
It was during one of these scenes
that our quarrel occurred.
I happened to meet Bruce one day
at our noon luncheon. It was Satur
day afternoon and my work was fin
ished for the week. He came Into th
place where I eat and droppecVheavlI:.
Into a sect beside me. Hlj appearance
caused mo to whirl upon him. His
face was drawn tense as the skin of
a drum, his eyes were heavy at
though with a great weariness, ' and
his hands aspen In their shaklness.
He bad the haunted look of a man
who has been crushed, soul and body,
by some appalling disaster.. Marvel
ing at the evil transformation which
had come over him, I let my hand
fall upon his shaking fingers. ,
"What is It, Bruce?" I cried sharp
ly. He blotted the perspiration -from
his face and answered me hoarse as a
croWT "
"Itjs all up. They have wiped me
out clean as a Whistle. Had every
thing I could rake and scrape ; on
'System' stock, and she has "" gone
straight 'to the bottommost pit of. in
ferno. And I was forty thousand to
the good and was goltg to quit for
ever at fifty thomuud and marry
Clare." He burst, into tears. "And
now I can't marry, her, lor I am
ruined, busted, blown . up, snot to
pieces. If any one should give mo
an automobile I couldn't raise the
Wind to fllf Its tires." His head
dropped forward, and' wiping his eyes
dry he sat with chest heaving. I
stared at him.
"How much did It sink?" I asked
slowly after a moment He waved his
hands helplessly. '' -
- "It didn't sink; It didn't take time
to do that It just plunged, dived,
sounded dropped like a ton of lead
in a vacuum. I was wiped out berore
I could yell 'keno' and crook a finger.
Oh, the miserable shame of It I Ass

Shocked but helpless I surveyed

arose again, this time angrily.
"But that stock is only temporarily
