Mrs. W. A. West Was made the secretary of the committee. ' While the details of the program for th'e celebration werenot worked out, the general plan of observance was de cided upon. This will include union service of all denominations on the two Sunday nights embraced in the period of the meeting. During the week there will be afternoon meetings of the women and evening services for men and women. - The work of Home Missions as now conducted is intensely practical, a remedy being sought through them for the social ills which afflict the people. The central committee of arrange ments for the week's celebration says in literature it has sent out bearing on the coming celebration: " Recently there has developed a new interest in modern American problems. Furthermore, we have come to learn tthat they are fundamentally moral questions. John Stuart Mill, who cer tainly was not prejudiced in favor of the church, said: "The political and economic struggles of society are in their last analysis religious struggles." Several of the National Home Mission Boards which have undertaken the HOME MISSION WEEK Campaign have long had "Bureaus of Social Ser vice" or "Departments of Church and Labor," and they have been grappling with social problems in the city and in the country; employing experts for the '. purpose of making sociological surveys and suggesting the most up- to-date, methods for meeting the needs discobered.' -There' are in the employ of these Boards men who are regarded as authorities on these subjects, and who are consulted by the leaders in social work outside the church, ' This evolution in the thinking of men with regard to the function of the church concerning modern social problems has not caught these home mission agencies napping.'' ; A large and Varied Exhibit in the I Five Hundred Citizens Attend and Live Stock Department I Participate In Mass Meet- i) Also Desired I ing at Court House With the Eastern North Carolina I : Fully five hundred citizens of New Fair only few -days -distant those are I Bern attended a mass meeting held at are' interested in its management who! the court house last nightfor the pur working up the interest of the exhibitors pose of expressing indignation and pro and completing the final details.

Chicago. October 10. In a letter to ' B. A. Worthineton. president of the Chicago and Alton Railroad, J. B. Smith, of Quintan, Tex., asks forgive ness for having "beaten" the road out of his fare for a ride of 283 miles in 1893 He said he believed God had forgiven him, and that he hoped the company would. In the event that it would not, he said, if he was informed how much he owed the road he would pay it when he got able. President Worthington wrote Smith that he was absolved from any claim " the road might have on him, and added "We hope that you had a pleasant " ride on the 283-mile trip, even if you .did not pay any fare; and let us hope that when you get started on your last trip tojpjeb God, if you are required to ride over "fourteen different railroad to get to your destination your last ride will be under as pleasant auspices as the 283 miles over the Alton in 1893." Smith said in his letter he owed con fessions to fourteen different railroads. I Denounce Charges Against Senator Made by Political Enemies aa Slanderous. character of Senator F. M. Simmons. Mr. Walter Bray was made chair man and Mr. R. A. Nunn and the mem bers of the press who were present were made secretaries. Ex-Judge O. H. was an oversight. The exhibit of fish and oysters is especially desired and the management are ottering some very valuable prizes, both in cash and articles that will prove acceptable to the ex hibitors. This fish and oyster exhibit was one of the main features at the former New Bern Fair and it is the in tention of the management to make it so again. farmers, hshcrmcn, stock raisers and others all over this section of the State are elegible to enter their exhibits and are urged to db so. Eastern North' Carolina produces some of the finest stock in this country and there is no reason why the exhibit in this depart ment should not equal any ever held in the state.

The speech was delivered in the school house and was heard by several hundred people. It was along the usual lines ol the Governor's speeches and was delivered with the oratorical effectiveness for which Mr. Kitchin is noted. He did not fail to take note of the "indignation meeting held here Thursday night and growing out of charges he is said to have made and he intimated that he might comc to New Bern and pull off a little meeting of his own. When he had finished his speech, he said that if he had said anything dero gatory to Senator Simmons' personal character he hoped any one who so construed his remarks would stand up and say so. There was no response to this invitation. Mr. Vass Richardson of Dover, who is Mr. Kilchin's campaign manager in the county, introduced him and de clared that no blots could be found on Kitchin's record. Following the speech-making there was a big barbecue and the Governor met a large number of people socially. About twenty-five people went from here to hear him, not all of them being sup porters, however.

Beaufort N. C, Oct. 12. Messrs. H. D. and J. B. Simpson caught a large bear in a trap they had set, on North river Road, about eight miles from Beaufort. Mr. Bear weighed 117 pounds when dressed, The carcass was brought to Beaufort this morning, to be shipped North. This particular bruin had been making a lot of trouble for the farmers along the river shore. Mr. Simpson said that he estimated that the bear had ruined ten barrels of corn for him within the past few days Bruin, as black as coal and aggressive as they make them, had been seen a number of times by different people, but as he threatened to disarrange the toilet of anyone who "messed" with him, he had his own way till he got his foot caught the other night.

They are to say Says If the Latter Should Chance to be Elected Revolution Would be Result Before an audience of more than four hundred representative citizens and a number of ladies Hon. Lee S. Overman, junior Senator from North Carolina, last night made an address at the court house in this city.-After being in troduced by Col. James A. Bryan is his usual eloquent manner, Mr. Overman stated that he was delighted to be a guest in the city and that he deemed it an honor to appear before such an in telligent audience. He stated for the benefit of the ladies that he was not in favor of woman's suffrage, desiring rather to see the ladies remain in their proper sphere, crowned and exalted by all. Instead of lambasting the Republi can party Mr. Overman took up his time principally in telling what his own party had done and was doing for the good of the people. He said that it was the desire of every Democrat in the Senate to give the country and es pecially the South ,good roads, free schools and deeper waterways and that they were working toward this end although being balked at every move by the Repulbicans. An interesting part of the Senator's address was his discussion of Col. Roosevelt. He said Roosevelt was a great man in some ways but that this very greatness would, if he were elected again, cause a revolution in this country which would be followed by bloodshd and a general upheaval of the entire government. In a graphic manner he related some of the incidents in which Roosevelt and Taft are denouncing each other and making themselves the laugh ing stock of the whole world. Neither of these men could be depended upon to keep their promise, no matter how small, if the trusts who were backing them deemed that it would be against their interests. The iron, steel and harvester trust came in for a full share of denunciation, in fact he literally jumped on them tooth and nail and ripped them up the back, explaining how in several in stances they had influenced the presi dent to veto bills sent up from the Sen ate which would have, if passed, saved the people of this country millions of dollars which were now flowing into their coffers. This he said would be stopped when Woodrow Wilson took his seat in the White House and began to attend to the affairs of the govern ment without first being compelled to ask the trusts whether it would be ad visable for him to do this or that and being scared within an inch of his life if he failed to do their bidding. " Taft, he said was a man without back bone, composed of putty, and that it was an easy matter for him to be ruled by Big Business. He told of the tariff on sugar and wool which the Senate had agrreed should be abolished but after a majority of the members in the Senate had agreed to do this the bill was sent to the white house for the signature of the president and it was returned with the words "vetoed" written across the face. Mr. Overman spoke for maore than an hour and so eloquent and earnest was his appeal that his audience was held spellbound. When a man gets married, he is never quite sure whether his male friends envy or pity him. Going to Build 3 THEN SEE TOLSON LUMBER & HFQ.
