TWO STREET ENDS IN A disgraceful condition exists on lJol lock street from McCarthy's store' to End street and ' also on Bread street from Queen, to End street, or the city limits. The county hs go :d roads to End street, tut the ends of both Pol lock and Broad streets are a disgrace to the city, and a reflection upon the city fathers. These Streets after they cross Queen are nothing more than country roads, rutty (n dry weather and perfect mud holes after a rain. ' Along the aides, es pecially on Pol'ock,dog fennel and rank weeds grow nearly waist high. The street department and the Board of Alderman stem to have entirely lost sight ot the fact that there is no connection on these two important streets with the fine system of county roads, and those who live on the out skirts of the town hive a discouraging piece of road to encounter after they reach" the city limits. Tha city , could very easily thell thete strips.snd make nice streets of them. Daily Edition Aug. 9.

CLOCK A CONVENIENCE. Business in Custom House Handled With Promptness and Dispatch. Mention was made a few days ago of the improvement in the lights in the government building and something further along that line may not be amiss at this time, judging from the complimentary remarks made on the streets. :' - : The custodian is to be complimented on the general appearance of the grass plot around the building, as noticed from the Journal office, and favorably commented upon by passersby, and al so upon the way in which the streets at the junction of Pollock and Craven streets are kept sprinkled. The entire tone of the interior of the building is one of neatness and cloanli ness, as well, in startling contrast to the condition of public building in oth er towns that might be mentioned.

Standing out 1 ke an oasis in a desert is the handsome fountain in the center of McCarthy's Circle, at the extreme Western end of town, near the water works. It is a surprising evidence of aesthetic taste, where rymptoms of civ ic pride would hardly be looked for. It is there, nevertheless, running all the time, and brightly illuminated wHh electric lights, from a circle of iron posts, at night. The most remarkable feature of the ountain, however, is the contents pf the large basin at the foot of Itf- In tbis pool are gold fieh, which are common enough when they are the color that their name suggests, but many of these fish are- silver white with Bhots and splotches of gold scat tered over them, acd to Cap the climax of freak fish, there are two jet black 'gold fish," something heretofore un heard of by biologists. When Mr. McCarthy, of the neigh boring grocery, knocks on the side of the concrete basin, the fish all flock to that side, to be fed on biscuit. They will answer no one else. Daily Edition Aug. 13.

The PEOPLE : Id the rural Districts of Graven, Jones, Ons- ; , low, Carteret and Pam lico counties, adver tise in the iirjKL PROBE SHOOTING AT VANCEBORO KITCHIN AND THE PAPERS, (Charlotte Observer.) : One of he strangest things of the senat trial earn paisn is the tact that Governor Kitchin persists in the unac countable mistake he made at the out set; of abusing the editors of the Sta'e. It is scarcely worth while to qualify this, for the bulk of Jhe State papers are against Kitchin and it is the very few that escape his arraignment. This abut e of the papers by Gov. Kitchin is this week the subject of u thoughtful editorial by F. M, Williams, ' in the Newtor Enterprise, in which ho makes the point that "if Governor Kitchin is correct In saying that a majority of the Democratic editors have decided against him and in favor of -Setator Simmons, he will never be able to con vince a majority or a very considerable minority ot the Democratic voters that it is not the verdict of a painstaking and consclmtlpus jury." The Enter prise then sums up" the records Of Simmons acd Kitchin, and says that with thess record? before them, "and full understanding of the fact tha Senator Simmons, with his experience, Uifluerce and prestige in the Senate,! can lender incomparable better service to his State than any new man could render, there is no wendtr that the Democratic editors, who stand sen tinels in the party and State watching day by day, in off years as well as cam paign years, should have already made up an almost unanimous verdict in fa vor of Senator Simmors ard against Governor Kitchin." The Enterprise thinks Simmons' majority over Kitchin will exceed the number of votes that will be cast for Kitchin. If the Gov ernor has not yet realized his mistake of having invited the antagonism oflie Democratic newspapers, it will quite likeiy dawn upon him when the votes are counted. RULE OUT THE BULL MOOSERS Local Republicans are much interest ed in the action of the State Executive Committee at Greensbaro Wednesday in-passing the following resolution: 'That in view of existing rohtical cocditioni the committee deems it pro pel, to announce to the Republicans of the State tbat in holding their county and township conventions none but tho3e who endorse the rational Repub lican candidate for President I and the Republican platform adopted attlie Re publican convention held at Chicago, June 18, are in any capacity entitled to participate in or represent the party, and that in organizing all township, county, Senatorial, Congressional and State conventions none but Republicans supporting the national ticket and the platform of our party nominated and adopted at the convention held in Chicago, June 18, be allowed to partici pate in the election of delegates or com mittemen or',in nominating candidates.cr in any way participating in said conven tion."

A huge iron girder which was being rolled up Middle street yesterday came in for a good deal of attention from the curious. It was for the Mitchell store on Middle street and the reason it .was being roiled was that it was so heavy that it could not be hauled. The girder is 53 feet m length, 86 inches high and 6 inches acrors the base. It was built by the Phoenix Iron Works of Phoenix ville, Pa., and sold through the New Bern Iron Works. The object in get ting such a large girder, Mr. Mitchell explained, was in order that the upper front of the store might be sufficiently strong for uprights which would inter fere with perfect ease of display to be dispensed with Daily Edition Aug 13 " 1 -' ; i il NEW BERN, N.'C.
