Democratic Senator in caucus have
teemed disposed to accept as the
tasflArd fa subject the findings
Of the Finance Committee. The
committee may veil be regarded as
experts and the caucus does well in
not attempting to go back of the
committee's findings. Its attitude
in the matter is decidedly compli-
santary to the thoroughness of the
committee's work.
Durham has gathered in nine con

There will be general satisfaction

NEW LAWS REDUCE LIQUOR

One reason why we believe that the
new taws, State and national, bearing
on the liquor question are having

MORE MANUFACTURING
NEBDBD.
That the post office receipts in New
Bern are thirty three per cent, greater
now that they were three years ago,
as shown in the report of Postmaster
Basnight, published in the Journal
yesterday morning, is very gratifying.
This is a substantial gain and shows
thnt New Bern is forging ahead. We
venture to predict that in the next
three years a still greater percentage
of gain will be shown. New Bern is
going forward at a most encouraging
rate. But the possibilities before
it are not by any means all utilized
It needs more manufacturing. This
is an old story, we are well aware
but it is one that should not be for
gotten.

If the hotel people now at Wrightsf
ville Beach can't make a success of
their business without selling beer,
perhaps, if they will get out of the way,
others will come in who can turn the
trick. There should be in a State

lina a considerable number of people
who can have a good time at the sea
shore without the solace of lager.
TRASHY LITERATURE AND ITS
FRUITS.
One of the prime needs is for more
sensible views on the part of the young
people of the country as to the question
of love and marriage. We are moved
to make this remark by noticing
newspaper headline telling of the
suicide of Lillian Branch, a West
i ... . .
uurnam cotton null girl, who was
despondent over a quarrel with her
sweetheart. This unfortunate young
woman exaggerated the importance
of her affairs of the heart. More than
likely the young man in the case was
not worthy of her being despondent
over him let alone her sacrificing her
life for him. But the main question
is why did she forget that there are
as good fish in the sea as have ever
been caught?
We will venture the guess that
the bottom of the rash act of this
unfortunate girl was one of the trashy
love stories with which the country
is flooded. False notions teem in these
books. Anything that would reduce
(he extent to which they are placed
in the hands of the reading public
would be an unmixed blessing.
Had the young girl of West Durham
been less unsophisticated and take
a more practical view of her love affairs.
the chances are that she would speedily
have made up with the young ma
because of whom she flung her life away
or, failing in that, she would have
found another and ia all probability
a better mate.
A proper amount of romance Is
very pretty thing and we don't discount
its importance in adding to the beauty
end charm of life, but as every obeer
ring person know broken heart
are mended so often that it is folly
to say that there are case where
mending ia out of the question.
NEWSPAPERS AND FRAUDULENT
ADVERTISEMENTS.
According to the view of Judge Hand
of the Federal Court of New York,
a newspaper has the right to expose a
business firm's methods of doing busi
ness, provKiea tne motives of its
publishers "are open to the belief that
they are in good faith exposing those
Who are over-reaching the simple
and abusing the confidence of the cred
ulous." Holding this view he denied
the motion of a farm agency for aa
injunction restraining a publishing
company from publishing threats to
expose the plaintiffs business methods
aad from writing letters to the
customers.
The service done by the New York
paper is only one of many that the

The number of children of school age

The public spirited citisons of the town

been agitating this movement of con

and the Craven county Board of
Education, we have a large majority
of the voters of our township ia favor
of a local tax for this purpose. An
election ha been called for July 8th
to vote on this subject, and we expect
to carry the vote ia favor of the local
tax by a very large majority. There
are quite a number of large land
holders, saw mills and guano factories
located in the township, among whom
are the Roper Lumber Co. and the

The public spirited citizens of the town
ship will donate ten acre of mad for
this purpose. A modern brick building
with equipment, to cost about
thousand dollars will be erected at
an early date and we hope to have the
school ia operation by October 1st.
It is proposed to have three school
wagons for the conveyance of the
children to and from school.
The advantages to be derived are
too numerous to mention, but when we
stop to consider that the only proper
way to educate a child up to and through
the high ic'.iool, is to do it Without
disturbing his home life, or taking him
out of it, and no one denies that the
country child is entitled to as good
education as the city child aad that
to no more inconvenience to him or his
parents then ere must admit that
consolidation of rural school aad pub
lic transportation of pupils is the
solution to the problem of agricultural
education.
This school is to be located between
the Norfolk aad Southern Railroad
and the great Central Highway, from
Tennessee to Beaufort, N. ., and in
full view of each.
