Late Thursday night Martha Craw

became engaged in an altercation on
the carnival grounds on Broad street

is how in Stewart's sanatorium receiv
ing medical attention for the knife
wounds in her body inflicted by the
Crawford woman, while the latter it in
the Craven county jail awaiting the re
sult of the victim's injuries.
Just how the trouble started could
not be learned by the police, but it is
supposed that the women' fell out about
some trivial matter. So suddenly did
they go together that bystanders were
unable to interfere before the Crawford
woman had cut her opponent several
times. She was placed under arrest
and carried at once to jail.' Yesterday
afternoon she wa3 brought out to be
arraigned for a preliminary hearing,
but on account of the absence of the
woman who was cut the case was con
t nued until some later date.

headed by 3. F. Sibley, of Arizona, has
the following declaration of principles:
"The alcoholic drink traffic is wrong, is
a most serious drain upon the nation's
wealth and resources,detrimental to the
general welfare, destructive of the in
alienable rights of life, liberty, and
pursuit of happiness, and therefore all
laws taxing or licencing a traffic that
produces crime, poverty and political
corruption, and spreads disease and
death should be repealed."
To accomplish this end, it is- declared

that will recognize the liquor traffic as
a crime and not a business. A six year
presidential term and one. term only,
and women suffrage were endorsed.

Pamlico County Young Men Trimmed
By fakir.
.(;
Yesterday morning a umber of young
men from Pamlico county came to New
Bern for day's visit. After doing
their trading during the forenoon they
wandered out to the grounds on which
the Adams Carnival Company was ex
hibiting. There they were picked op
by one of the fakirs with the company
and he at once proceeded to relieve them
of the cash which the had on their per
son. Finally the manipulator of the
cards offered to bet quite a large sum
that the player could not pick a lucky
card. His offer was taken np and of
course the player lost This evidently
"broke'' him for he at once put up a
wail and went in search of an ; officer.
After investigating the case the officer
ordered the carnival employes to turn
over the money. This was done and the
young men went on their way rejoic
ing. Why people wilt attempt to beat
these fakirs at their ewn game is some-'
thing that cannot be explained. " It is
indeed as the renowned P. T. Barnum
once said, "the American public like to
be humbugged," and they always lose
in these games.

Mr, Matthews was enroufe home af
ter closing up his store, and when near
his residence on Broad street was ac
coated by a colored man who asked him
to change a one dollar bill for him. Mr.
Matthews bad a pocket full of cash, but
owing to the fact that the electric light
on the corner was very dim, he could not
see very well and. told the negro to wait
until he went tnco the house to count
out the change." Upon bis return he
banded the man the money and received
in return what he thought was a dollar
bill. Going back into his home he dis
covered that the piece of paper handed
him in exchange for the silver was
naught but a certificate issued by i
Virginia liquor house as an advertise
ment He quickly went in aearch of
the negro and caught a glimpse of him
going up the street toward the carni
val ground, but so fleet footed was he
that Mr. Matthews finally lost sight of
him and was forced to return home
without recovering his money,. '

Prices Have Advanced Ranid
ly On Account of Rain
v and Cool Weather.
New York, July IX -Cotton has ad
vanced sharply and the reasons.staa '
out with striking clearness, Rains ad t,
cool wea ber in the Atlantic, Easte
Golf and Central sections have had '
roach to do with i'. Reports of dry
not Weather in Texas have bad some af
fect The general backwardness of tl
crop and a growing belief in many
quarters that the acreage was reduced -7
or 8 per cent also contributed to the .
rise. .' Then there wer large spot sales ..
In Liverpool amounting to 10,000 to .
12.0OQ bales a day. . There waa the ac- '
tivity and strength in Manchester as
regards both yarns and cloths. There
was the'slrong spot situation at the
Sftuth coincident with a persistent de
mand, especially for the better grades
which were by no means easy to get,
even at steadily rising prices. Finally -there
Whs an rc'.ive acd broadening
speculation here for a rise. Shorts here
and at the Scuth and West have cover- .
ed on a large scale. Memphis, Net.
Orleans, Chicago and New York have
all liquidated short accounts on a seal
that has given a powerful, impetus to
the upward ' rush of prices. Not less
powerful has been the big buying for a
rise partly by the outside public, which . ,,.
after a recent advance of nearly S a
bale has apparently become convinced
that the bulls in cotton have been in
earnest. Liverpool and spot interests
have bought freely. Wall Street bouses
have in maoy cases bought and now all :
eyes aire beginning to be fixed on Tex
as.: East of the Mississippi there have -
been complaints of excessive rains and
of damage in parta of the Eastern gulf
section by cut worms, boll weevil and
caterpillars . But Texas now needs
rain, according to the latest weekly gov
ernment weather report. Liverpool baa
pricked up its ears. At times it has re
ported buying there owing to a fear of
the effects of hot . weather in Texas.
And although the crop reports from
Texas have been aa a rule favorable, ' ,
some advices from parta of that Stmt -have
been more . so than recently.
Meantime the crop throughout the belt
is said to average some two to four
weeks later and bulls predict that it .
will be two million to 2,600,000 bales
smaller than that of last year with
spinners' taking! approaching 16,000,
000. On the other hand, the recent ad- .
vancn in prices has bectfto marked that
many are predicting a awddea and sharp
set back sooner or laUttw They point
out that what is termed the technical
position has changed for the worse, that ,. .
whereas, recently the market was over
sold, it now shows a tendency to be
come overbought, if indeed, it Is not
already overbought. On the rise big
Wall Street bull interests have sold on
an enormous scale. Also certain ' spot
interests dave sold heavily. The long
holdings sold out by big people have,
it is contended, gone into weaker hands.
It is also argued that there is still time
to raise a big crop and that in any case
the price of cotton especially in " these
times of the high cost of living, is al
ready high enough if not indeed,' alto
gether too high'.
How to Fight Flies.
Begin st their breedingplacea. Cover
or screen all manure or have it removed
at Toast ooco a week. Don't tolerate
any 'open privy. " Privy bred flies are by
all odds the filthiest and most danger
OUB.' " ; ' :
It is next to impossible to abolish all
breeding places, and a few flies will al
most: invariably remain. Screen all
doors and windows and make the flies
feed at your garbage can. Place a trap
on the lid and catch them as they come
out You be agreeably surprised at tbe
result. If any escape the trap or
break through the screen doors, swat
them or catch them on the sticky fly
paper. They deserve no better fate.
After getting your own premises In
good shape, get your neighbors inter
ested. A nice, wsy to do this is to
send their r.amca and addresses to the
Slate Board of Health, with a request
that they be Bent free fly bulletins. Dis
cuss fly nuisances with your ne!;;Morg.
Talk it up. Tell them and sl ow them
