A person does not have to be an
electrician to understand that there
must be some way to overcome more
promptly than was done here night
before last the accident of a short circuit
on a light and power line. The city
has expert accountants at work on its
books. Might it not be also wise to
ascertain from our local experts or
from some on eels what is needed to
make the municipal electric plant
proof against fifteen hour periods of
idleness and consequent inconvenience
to hundreds of patrons?
trembled like first kisses in the loons,"
It strikes us that with plain, unas
suming citizens there should be a good
demand for coats that are "easy,
..aural, unsophisticated, inconsequent
Id, irresponsible," but we have no
means of knowing whether the coat of
this' suit could be bought separately.
The indications arethat the lobby
investigating committee of the Senate
will not have much time left for con
sideration of the tariff.
President Wilson is a regular "Old
Hickory" for backbone. Statesmen
around Washington are finding that
when he has thought out a proposition
and come to a conclusion there is no
use in ti ying to get him to change his
mind. He is one man who thinks fo
himself.
The developments of every passing
day tend to show that the President knew
what he was talking about when he
said an insidious lobby was operating in
Washington. At first Senators said
they thought lobbyists were less active
than was formerly the case. But the
fact seems to be that they are merely
active in a different way. The investi
gating committee which by the way is
headed by a North Carolinian, Senator
Overman, is finding that the lobby is
very much of a reality.

FRIDAY, JUNE 7.
J. D. Perry of Beaufort was among
the business visitors in the city yesterday.
Mr. and Mrs. George W. Taylor
and son Hugh left last evening for More
head City where they will spend the
summer.

been speadfng several days here with
relatives, returned home last evening.
Miss Ruth Howland of Beaufort
arrived in the city last evening for a
short visit with relatives.
Mi s Mabel Cohen who has been

the holidays.
Miss Maude Stewa.t has returned
from Washington, D. C, where she
has been attending a college for young
ladies.

The addition of the Inter-coastal
Freight Line to New .Bern's freight
facilities is very welcome. Complete
facilities for the receiving and dis
patching of freight go a long way to
wards making a busy and prosperous
city . There is plenty of business in
New Bern for it to give liber al patron
age to both railroads and also to the
new boat line. And competition be
tween the rival lines should result not
only in reasonable rates but in prompt
service and accommodating treatment.
Ex-Judge 0. H. Guion returned last
evening from a professional visit at
Goldsboro.
Miss Elizabeth Rogers of Newport
arrived in the city yesterday for a visit
with relatives.
George H. Roberts returned yester
day from a business visit at Oriental.
TIP TO FARMERS.
DR. KINGSBIRY
Josephus Daniels i undoubtedly
right in characterizing Dr. Kingsbury,
who died Wednesday aftcinon at his
home in Wilmington, as the most ac
complished journalist in North Car
olina. There was a scholarship and
a literary flavor about Dr. Kingsbury's
editorials that obtained with the work
of no other editor in the State. And he
wrote with an ea.se of style and ex
pression that placed him quite in a
class to himself among North Carolina
newspaper writers. lie led a
clean and wholesome life and .is a
result it was given to live for longer than
the average person. North Carolina
is much the poorer for the departure
from its midst of this scholarly Christ
ian man.
CAROLINA AND THE SOUTHERN
CROSS.
We have received the May number
(f Carolina and the Southern Cross,
of which Mrs. L. V. Archbell of Kinston
is the editor. The magazine is a re
minder of her indefatigable industry
and dauntless determination in bring
ing out in the face of difficulties and dis
couragements that would have caused
a less persevering individual to have
given up the fight long ago. The May
number is like the others that have
been issued, full of entertaining and in
forming reading matter to show what
the South achieved in the war between
the States and something of the prob
lems and perplexities it had to contend
with. To read the magazine and learn
of the obstacles cheerfully met and
fvercome by the men and women of
war times is to be inspired to more
thorough and earnest work in the less
thrilling but perhaps not less important
duties which devolve upon patriots
today.
ADVERTISING UP TO DATE.
Advertising is getting to be a fine
art, particularly in the cities, where
competition is keen and where every
known expedient is worked to the limit
by energetic and progressive firms in
order to get the patronage that is
necessary to remaining in business.
Some of the advertisements in the
New York papers for instance are
prepared by men who could write a
brilliant editorial or news article and
who probably would be doing work of
that sort but for the fact that they can
ean larger salaries writing advertisc
aents. A leading clothing house in the
metropolis the other day advertised
suits ol clothes for sale. The average
advertiser would have indulged in a
few platitudes and stopped there. Not
so with the clever writer who frames
the advertisements of the firm to which
we are referring. After a few brief,
pungent remarks about the lightness
and coolness of the suit as a whole he
proceeds to take it up garment by gar
ment as follows begsnning with th
coat and we leave it to our readers
if the "dope" isn't as bright and
picturesque as some of the t matter
in the magazines and larger papers:
"Its lines are sketchy rather than
photographic easy, natural, unsophis
ticated, inconsequential, irresponsible
"The vest is a skeleton of its former
self and absolutely devoid of all feeling.
"The trourers are as trim as poplars
artistic in their elinv'nat'on of the
superfluous.
"The su.t entire is as cool as a uH
eaa be without offending the niceties
of propriety.

Planting of Cow Peas Urged by
U. S. Department of Agri
culture. Again we desire to remind farmers
of the importance of planting every
available, cultivated acre to cowpeas.
They are valuable lor the following
reasons:
They are a fairly good human food.
They are one of our most nutritious
foods for stock.
The peas alone are worth from $5 to
S20 per acre.
Cowpca hay is easily Worth $20 per
ton. 1 he yield vanes from one to three
Ions per acre.
It left on the land and turned under,
the vines ire worth from $5 to $15
per acre as fertilizer.
The roots and stulASlc are worth from
S2 to 81 per acre as fertilizer.
flic vines, roots, and stubble furnish
humus (vegetable matter), something
nearly all soils are deficient in.
This humus helps to make the land
cultivate easily. It absorbs and hold
moisture that will aid to continue its
growth during a drought.
Humus furnishes the conditions nec
essary for the existence of beneficial
bacteria that enable plants to get nitro
gen from the air.
The shade of pea-vines helps in the
formation of valuable nitrates in the
soil.
Pea-vine roots are good sub-soilers.
They go to considerable depths, open
ing up the earth so air and water can
make a deep soil.
Cowpeas fit in well in nearly all
systems of rotations of crops. They
ire well adapted to growing among corn
ind after small grain harvested in the
spring.
Peas get some of the nitrogen from
the air, free of cost to the farmer, so
that very little nitrogen (ammonia) is
needed for their fertilization except
for poor soil. Nitrogen in commercial
iertmzers costs auout i) cents per
pound.
For fertilizer for peas use 200 to
400 lbs. of a complete brand analyzing
8 to 10 per cent, phosphoric, 1 per cent.
nitrogen, and 3 to 4 per cent, potash.
This may be made by mixing together
50 lbs. cotton seed meal, 250 lbs. acid
phosphate and 100 lbs. kainit.
every tarmer should arrange at
once to plant abundantly of this im
portant crop. Plant some on poor land
for turning under; plant some for hay
plant some for grazing by horses, cows
hogs and other stock; and by all means
plant, fertilize and cultivate a few acres
for seed peas so he will not have to
buy at high prices next season.
(Nearly everything said above about
cowpeas is also true of soy beans. The
beans excel in being a little more vat
uable as stock food, a little better adapt
ed to wet soils, stand droughts some
better and usually make slightly larger
yields of grain and hay.
Very truly yours,

The experience of Motherhood is a try
ing one to moat women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the experi
ence with an organism unfitted for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children.
and indeed child-birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing ia
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie tim? in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
In many homes
once childless there
are now children be
cause of the fact
that Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable
Compound makes
women normal,
healthy and strong.
If ton wait special adriee write to
Ljrdia E. Pink ham Medicine Co. (eonfl.

be opened, read and answered by a
woman and held In strict confidence.

SAW MYSTERIOUS BUNDLE
During the pasture days a mysterious
bundle, has been seen floating on the
waters of Lawson's Creek, near this
city. Several persons have seen the
bundle but in the majority of cases
they were superstitious colored men
and women and lost no time in leaving
that locality.
Late yesterday afternoon there was
a runn r ct the streets that the bundle
contained the dead body of an infant.
However, i; was learned that this
was merely s: pp:ition on the part
of an old colore 1 wom;.n who had passed
over tin bridge.
It is more probable that the bundle
contains the remains of a cat or dog
which some one consigned to the
tender mercies of the creek, but it is
probable that an investigation will
be made and the exact contents learned,
