Will CLOSE FRIEND HAS WILL Contents of The Instrument To Be Made Known Sat urday or Monday. REVENUE OFFICER NABS RESI DENT OF NUMBER TWO TOWNSHIP. Purchase Of The Albemarle and -Chesapeake Waterway Has Been Approved. New York, April 17. J. P. Morgan's 'will will be made public Saturday or Monday. Meagre information to this effect was obtained at the Morgan banking house. The document is in the possession of Lewis Cass Ledyard, an old friend and adviser of Mr. Morgan., "Mr. Morgan was broad-minded, public-spirited and generous in life," said a close friend of the late financier today, dicsussing the possible dispo sition which he has made of his fortune :and are possessions, "and I think it 'will be found he has not departed from 'his ideals in his will." The inference drawn from the re "mark is that Mr. Morgan has left his suDcrb art collection to the city of '-New York. Aside from this bequest there is growing belief that Mr. Morgan has left but little to any one outside his immediate family. No great amounts it is believed, have been willed to char ities. "So far as he was personally con cerned," said this friend, "one might almost say that money was a mere in cident to Mr. Morgan. He never hoard ed money. He was a prodigious spender. He summoned special trains as the average man calls a taxicab, He pouned out money indulging his ar tistic tastes. He gave freely to all worthy causes. In short, he was not prone to count the cost. "Another peculiar trait was the habit he had of paying for things but once a year in order to avoid the bother of monthly payments. The persons with whom he dealt knew of this habit and charged him more than oth:rsbut he was willing in order to save the bother of monthly settlements. "These were the traits which made the cost of living for him so tremendous. , "Do not get the idea," continued this informant, "that Mr. Morgan died a pdbr man. He left probably $50,000-, 000 outside of his art treasurers. But he never was a tremendously rich man as fortunes are estimated these days. "It was not his own money but his transcendant power to concentrate the money of others which enabled him to do the big things he did. Another fact current in Wall Street todav will surprise most ocrsons. Mr. Morgan probably dominated more rail road companies and industrial corpor tions than any other man in the world yet it is declared his stockholdings will be found to be very meagre be cause he held it to be the best policy to keep his captial in liquid form and ready for instant use. i The bulk of his fortune, Wall Street men declare, will be found to be in bank deposits, call loans and other rcady-at-hand sources. Edward Purifoy, whose home is at Truitts in No. 2 Township, was placed under arrest yesterday by United States Deputy Marshal Samuel Lilly on a warrant charging him with retailing spirituous liquors without a govern ment license. Purifoy was brought to this city and taken before Com--missionsr C. B. Hill for a preliminary hearing. Owing to the absence of several witnesses the case was con tinued until Saturday and the de fendant required to give bond in the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars for his appearance at that-time. The next term of Federal court will convene in this city on April 28 with Judge H. G. Gonner presiding and a large number of offenders charged with violating the Internal Laws will be brought before him at that term The revenue officers in this scetion have been unusually active during the past few months and have made a large number of arrests during this time.

This laundry is one of the best equipped in the Stat and the large amount of work that they ti rn out drmonstrates the fact that t' -y have an enviable patronage. TWO TEACHERS SELECTED The Board of Trustees of the pro posed Farm Life School met in the office of S. M. Brinson, County Super intendent of Public Instruction, yes terday at noon and received the bids for the erection of the school building and several other buildings. There were nine bidders for this work and the Board decided to wait a few days before awarding the -contract. The date of this meeting will be annpunced a few days before it is to be held. Dr. J. E. Turlington who is to have charge of the school met with the Board and made a very interesting talk. Be fore adjourning, the Board elected two teachers for the scllool, these were H Joslyn, who is to Lc the instructbr in the Agricultural Department and Miss Gertrude Bassctt will have charge of the Domestic Science Department Mr. Joslyn graduated this year from A. & M. College and comes to the Farm Life School highly recommended. He is a young man of splendid character and is liked by all who know him. Miss Gcrtrui'c Bassctt. also comes to the school highly recommended. She is a graduate of the normal course at Lewis Institute, Chicago, and is teacn ing Domestic science in the settlements of that city. She has had considerable experience in her line, having been connected with the original lunch room cooking cless at Lewis Institute where she purchased cquij m?nt- for kitchen pantry and dining room.

It was left to Supt.

The statement was made this even ing by the War Department that the titles to the canal property have been approved and requisition had been made on the Government for the $500, 000 purchase money by Cole E. Win slow, resident engineer at Norfolk, who is handling the matter for the Government. The Department of Jus tice has approved all papers in con nection with the purchase of the prop- perty. As soon as the law officers of the War Department put their "O. K". on the papers the money will be paid over and the canal will become the actual property of the United States Govern me.nt. TJie Government will then proceed to tear down the tollgates on the canal and throw it open for free commerce. An appropiration of $800,000 was authorized by the last Congress for the improvement of the canal. Steps, therefore, will soon be taken to widen the canal and increase its depth to 12 feet. It now has a depth of nine feet. The opening of the canal will be a great boon to Baltimore commerce. will give steamship and towboat companies of that city a free water way from Baltimore to Beaufort, N. C, Heavy tolls heretofore have been levied on shipping passing through the canal. The Lake Drummond Canal, owned by Baltimore financial interests- which now has approximately 75 per cent, of the commerce between the Chesa peake Bay and Albemarle Sound, will be driven practically out of business by converting its rival into a free water way. f irm and the frequent cheering from the "rcoters" showed that the game was being appreciated. The Dover team has only recently been organized but will be glad to meet any team in nearby towns.. G. V. Richardson is the manager of the team and has charge of making arrangements for games. M. L. Elmore, superintendent of the bandsaw mill at the Goldsboro Lumber Company's plant at this place is in the Goldsboro hospital recovering from an operation for- appendicitis.

So far there has been no visible steps taken toward rebuilding the Dover depot which was destroyed by fire a few weeks ego, but it is learned that the Norfolk Southern R. R.

Then thinking she had rather attack one, than nve, she made straignt lor the gate. The man who was coming in got out of her way and she kept in the woods, much to the relief of us all.

They also did all the Light on till she was soon lost sight of washing for their families. "Many of them returned to their homes after ten hours work at night in the dust and roar of the twine fac tory, to nurse their babies in the niorning and during the day time." "The appearance of the women work ers is very disheartening," is the Wag ner committee's comment. "They are stolid, faces and hands are covered with oil and hemp dust. The women as a whole were a disheartening group in their oil, dust-laden clothes, with drawn, white faces and stooping gait.' The special investigators report that of the one hundred women whose per sonal histories were secured ninety-five were Polish. There were eigiity women between twenty and thirty years of age Of these one hundred women rixty-two were anaemic, fifty-seven complained of P. S. - . This cow story reminds us of a man who was following an animal and on being asked where he was going said: "Don't ask, me ask the bull". It was about that way with the spotted cow the cow knew better where she was going than the men did. So large have the shipment ; of whis key reaching this city via the Southern Express Company b tome that it is understood the company has under consideration t'le advisability of open ing up an ofhx from which whi key will be delivered exclusively. During the past three we ks or in fact since the Search and Seizure Law and the Webb Bill went into effect the shipments of liquors receiv d at the local office have more than doubled. This has caused much inconvenience in several ways. With two hundred or more packages coming in each day the local office is crowded for space in which to store it, but the main objection lies in the fact that at times during th- day the office is so crowded with patrons who are seeking expected shipments from the Virginias that it is often im possible for other patrons to get within speaking distance of the clerks. This condition has caused cons de - able unfavorable comment and many have suggested that a branch office be opened up. With two hundred or more packages coming in each day at the present time it can easily be seen that it will be impossible for the local office to handle the increased shipments when the holiday season approaches. The company's decision in regards to open ing a branch office will probably be made known at an early date. WAGON BREAKS DOWN.

WORK IS HARMONIOU Some time ago the Journal printed an article telling of alleged mistreat ment of his wife by a Norfolk man, the parties having formerly lived n Eastern Carolina. The following letter from the wife has been received: Nebraskan Holds Up The Hands Of The President Without Feeling Humiliated. Dear Editor: Please allow me space ia vour paper to correct tne laisc charges against my husband, M. D Reel that came out in the papers March 25, about dragg ng his wife 1 1916, that he wanted the President to throueh the house by the hair and be content with one term and that Washington, April 19 Before and since this administration began the alarmists in and out of Washington have been predicting a break between President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan. These alarmists could not see how it was po:sible for two strong characters, two great leaders of the same party to remain in harmony for any length of time. They believed trouble would come and come quick whether Mr. Bryan was in the Cabinet of nor. The point was made that Mr. Bryan wanted the Democratic nomination in Many beautiful Lines of Sum mer Dress Goods Just Received Also Shirt Waists, Laces, and Eui broideries, Underwear, Shoes.

It w; s reported that Mr. Bryan had made it a condition of his accepting a Cabinet office that Mr. Wilson should 'announce in his inaugural address that he was elected on a one-term platform and that he would serve for four years, then step aside for somebody else. All this was widely circulated prior o the inauguration. It was much gos siped about before the Cabinet was an nounced. It was passed along in whis pers by some and with shouts by others who could not see how in the world this administration could escape Mr. Bry an's criticism and his blows. , It happened however, that Mr. Bryan was offered and accepted a port dio in the Wilson Cabinet and that he did it without conditions. It has happened that Mr. Bryan, who is officially a subordinate, feels no humiliation whatever in holding up the and) of a Terno rati: "President whom he helped to nominate and elect.

' MAYOR M'CARTHY AFTER VAGRANTS CITY'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE MAK ING IT HOT FOR HUMAN PARASITES. Mayor McCarthy is determined to rid New Bern w vagrants, both men and women, if it is possible for him to do so and during the past few weeks he has tent a number of these "do nothings" to the county jail. Yesterday the officers arrested Lucy Simpson, May Will ams, Bertha Bryan, Martha Jones and Sue Harper, colored, on this charge and took them before the Mayor. After hearing the evidence against these women His Honor fined each fifty dollars and the costs of the case or thirty days in jail. As neither had the nccesiary coin to pay the fine they were sent to jail and for the next thirty days will scrub the floors, wash windows and otherwise keep that nsfit ition in good shape.

Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, severe headaches, melancholia, dread of impending evil, palpitation of the heart, irregularity, constipation and dizziness are promptly treated by intelligent women who are approaching the period of life. This is the most critical period of woman's life and she who neglects the care of her health at this time invites in curable disease and pain. Why not be guided by the ex perience of others and take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ?
