I The Journal earnestly requests its correspondent to send in the news of their respective communities. When the present owners of the Journal took charge of it, they were conducting the Industrial Weekly. That paper hid a large corps of correspondents, cou ntry news being one cf its strong features. Oa its discontinuance we commenced sending the Semi-Weekly Journal in ha place to all correspondents at the same time urging correspondents to send in their letters to the Journal just as they had been doing for the In dustrial Weekly. One or two acceded to this request, but the great majority ignored it. We are writing this to get our friends interested again. Send us the news of your community . It will take but a little of your time and it will be i bene fit to your community to read it as every person there will be interested in knowing what you have to say. Let us hear from you. Matter for Tuesday's issue of the Semi-Weekly should reach us Saturday. That for Friday's paper should reach us by Wednesday. Rah for the all-star corn growers They are the most promising stars the country affords. We welcome the early edition of the Wilmington Dispatch which reaches us a few hours after it leaves the press. We expect to find its daily visits more interesting than ever now. Winter is in hiding some whee and is btitnd to come yet, says Willis Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau The chief 's pretty afc in : his pre diction. If it doesn't come this year it wiM next.

War between Turkey and the Alhe is sl.'ted to begin again this, week As both sides are pretty wel! at the end of their tether, it is likely that the war will die a natuial death very sooo any way. But exhausted nations n a death grapple torm the most dis stressing of all war pictures. With high pressure over the Middle Atlantic and low pressure in Alaska and the Northwest, such aa has been general for the last two months, we can have nothing but warm weather rays Dr. 3arry C. Frankenfteld, chief weather forecaster of the United States. Just what degree of comfort this pro nouncement will bring to the coal and wood men and the dealers in hravy weight clothing we are not prepared to say. The indications are that before the thing is over with there will be a good deal of feeling stirred up over the matter of who shall be New Bern's postmaster under the Wilson adminis tration. We venture to suggest the wisdom of calling a primary for the settlement of this question. We see that our neighboring town of Wash ington is going to let the people name the postmaster. Its example might be followed with profit by New Bern Congressman Webb wants the gov ernment to stop paying for room rent, heat and light for army officers who are detached from their troops. We do not recall how Mr. Webb stood on thp proposition to eliminate what has come to be known as the "mileage steal" by which Congressmen collect from the government considerably more than they pay out for their rail road fare. But it is to be hoped that he is consistent in his economv. Beginning Sunday Goldaaoro and ptjnts between there. and Raleigh got another train Raleigh, giving four trains a day each way.

There's a man for every want One of the latest wants to be filled is that of renewing interest in more or less cold and ineffective commercial organiza tions. For a long time it was the practice to let such a body die the death and later be resurrected again, or rally the local forces and resuscitate it before life was finally extinct. Now, when a Chamber of Commerce gets on the ragged edge, those desiring to see it remain in the lam1 of the living send off to the getting place and get a man vho makes a business of reorganizing commercial organizations. He comes, organizes the men of the town into working teams, banquets them or sees that they Banquet themselves, eets them excited and aroused, sends them out in a whirlwind campaign for funds and in a little while pledges for thousands of dollars, the most of them worth dollar for dollar, have been raised and the trick of setting a mori bund commerical organization to work again has been turned. The plan is exactly the same as that followed in raising a big fund with which to erect a Y. M. C. A. building and which has been used so often and with such conspicuous usuccess. It has just been used in Greensboro and a campaign is now beginning in Raleigh. North Carolina has a fashion of leading. The richest baby in the world is the daughter of James B. Duke, The News and Observer thinks it well enough to wait until the women of North Carolina ask for the ballot before undertaking to give it to them. North Carolina has too many bridges right ahead to cross, to cross any that is has not yet reached. Woman suffrage will come in North Carolina, but at present the problen is merely an ac ademic one.

We also recommend to his ex-majesty that he get lot of fresh air and eat wholesome food. "Nerves," in fact, many good doctors assert with emphasis, are more often than not a mere matter of nourishment. Numerous people with the means to buy every thing that the appetite could crave do not get properly nourish ed for they haven't learned the art of scientific feeding, or perhaps it would be nearer correct to say that the)' haven't developed the degree of self denial necessary to enable them to forego articles of diet that impairs their capacity and puts their nerves on edge. PRINCIPLES NOT MEN. The personal relations of William Jennings Bryan and Champ Clark have been the occasion of some anxiety on the part of Democrats who fear a break in the ranks of the party on account of the animosity supposed to exist be tween the two men. With his cus tomary good sense ,Mr. Bryan brushes away all these fears as of no conse quence in the following eminently sen sible remarks in the Commoner: "Some of the newspapers are bor rowing a good deal of trouble over the relations existing between Mr. Clark and Mr. Bryan. Neither is saying any- ting against the other but if they were criticising each other, what dif ference would it make? Mr. Clark has earened his re-election as Speaker. Why -should anyone ask whether he likes or dislikes Mr. Bryan? Certainly no friend of Mr. Bryan would make that a test. 'There is constant tendency to over estimate the personal element and un derestimate the importance of the principles and policies involved. If either Mr. Bryan or Mr. Clark allows personal feeling to interfere with ser vice to the party and to the country it will be time to condemn. Why an ticipate improper conduct?" SHOCKINGLY UNCONVEN TIONAL. The conventional politician, the con ventional business man, the conven tional representative of fashion and society can't understand the New Jer sey Governor. While eminently civ ilized, decorous and respectful, he is, in a way, shockingly unconventional. He shocked some of the conventions lof Princeton University by his new ideas, a in 1 as soon as he entered poli- ics he l ::an to administer shocks all round, as if he were a human bat tery. During the Presidential cam paign he kept on doing and saying politically unconventional things, and since his election the feelings of the unwary conventionalist have been jarred from time to time so unpleas antly as to cause him to raise the voice in bitter lamentation, after the fashion of some of our friends of the New York press. The dancing ladies and gentlemen in Washington have, their turn, been shocked during the last few days by his suggestion that those Who dance should pay the piper, and that the Government should not be put to unnecessary expense and inconvenience to provide a social and costume opportunity for a limited W IpUhBssswS Lameness Sloan's Liniment is a quick and reliable remedy for lame ness in horses and other farm animals.

And the politicans, who have been winking the other eye and declaring he was "just fooling" about not having made up his mind about Cabinet appointments, are shocked by his invincible reticence and his failure to take them into his con fide nee. And the probabilities are that he will continue shocking conventional sen sibilities after he gets into the White House. But the country at large seems to like it, and even the con ventionalists will enjoy and profit by it when they are fully waked up Baltimore Sun. GOVERNOR CRAIG ON HEALTH Recommends A Vital Statlatica Law and Efficient, Well-paid Health Officers. North Carolina is proud of her new governor. One of his strongest rec ommendations in his inaugural ad dress was for better health work Here is what he recommends: "The State has been blessed with all the natural conditions conducive to health and strength. Sufferers Irom far countries come here to re- i'er from disease and renew the vigor of youth in our salubrious air. But we have allowed disease and death to stalk abroad at noonday. Most of the serious diseases are pre ventable diseases. Formerly the work of the doctor was to heal the sick, now it is to preserve health. The beneficence of scientific medicine is to drive back disease and suffering. Men and woemn and children suffer and die from causes that could be re moved.

We can thus ascertain with accuracy the sanitary conditions in each com munity and intelligently work for the prevention of disease and for the pro motion of health. Each county and each city should have an intelligent well paid health officer. We can ap peal to our citizenship through the press, the achoolhousc, and the pulpit and encourage them to purer and more healthful home conditions, to the Inestimable blessings of all the people." State Board of Health Preaa Service. IDEAL AGE TO WED IS 25 Prof. Dallas Lore Sharp of the de partment of English at Boston Uni versity inclines to 25 yean at the ideal age at which men should marry. He scoffs at 20 and 30. ."There is nothing particularly God fearing or discreet or reverent about JO," says Dr. Sharp. "Thirty is the timid age. Forty is the dangerous age. 1 wenty is the ageless age, tne silly, milky, tasaeled age, when a boy, is still liable to be croupy and to need castor oil and his mother. "When a man reaches 30, however, he knows that he is not a poet and a captain of industry and that the moon is not made of cheese and that love in a cottage is not the same thing at all as love in the suburbs or in a city flat Hc knows just enough at 30 to count the coat.

(Special to the Journal) Olympic, Jan. 21. The weather in this section during the past few days has been all that could be desired and our farmers have been "making hav while the sun shines."

Miss Sidney Stapleford came down from New Bern Saturday night and spent Sunday with her parents. Our public school is progressing finely under the efficient supervision and management of Mrs. A. H.

John Bambalis, owner of the Busy Bee cafe in this city and the Bambalis Hotel at Norfolk, Va., arrived in th city yesterday from that place. Mr. Bambalis has been away from the city for several months, and was agreeably surprised at the many shanges which have been made during that tin "New Bern", he said "greatly resembles Norfolk in many ways and the citizens here are equally as progressive as the people of that city. In my belief it will be only a matter of a few years before this city will rank with Norfolk." Mr. Bambalis will remain in the city for several days. GOV. BLEASE IS ON THE WARPATH Gives New Reasons For Refusing to Let Militia Attend the Inauguration. NO FORMAL INVITATION TO HIM Feared S. C. Troops In Parade Would Have to March Behind Negroes. Columbia, S. C, Jan. 21. It ap pears that the action of Governor Blease in refusing to allow the South Carolina militia to attend the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson as President is not had been received by him. The Governor in an interview at Columbia expressed this intention and further said he fears that South Caro lina troops in the parade would be humiliated by having to march behind negroes. This statement is only in inn? with his recent series of four messages to the General Assembly, in which he has lavished invective on the press and on others whom he calls his enemies. The Governor's last message to the General Assembly contained a bitter attack upon Senator B. K. Tillman. In this letter the Governor charged that there was a Conspiracy between the editor of the Columbia State and Tillman to defeat him for re-election. Included in the message were several telegrams sent to the Washington cor respondent of the State by the news paper, in which the correspondent was directed to secure ,if possible, a letter which Tillman had written to South Carolina declaring Blease's re-election would be a terrible misfortune. In this message the Governor al luded to the killing of N. G. Gonzales, late editor of the State, by James H. Tillman, nephew of the Senator, saying that "the crack of the magazine pistol had been forgotten in the opposition to Blease." The Governor has also brought his pardon record for his term well past the 500 mark, having issued almost 510 pardons and paroles during the two years of his administration. The mill is still grinding, but not at the speed that has marked previous periods of tha Governor's career. A a,;, :.. k k., r . Sheriff J. W. .Biddle died ve.terday morning.
