Washington, July 22. In antici
nation of the new tariff act admitt'ng
free of duty meat and meat products
Secretary Houston, of the department
of agriculture, has detailed Dr. A
D. Melvine, chief of the bureau ol
animal Industry, to go to South Amcr
ica to investigate the slaughtering,
canning and general packing hous
businesss of that continent. Secretar
Houston also has ordered Dr. E. C.
Joss, of the bureau of animal industry,
whose headquarters are at Portland,
Ore., immediately to proceed to Aus
tralia to make a similar- investigation
there.
It was admitted at the department
of agriculture that as a matter of fact
D-. Melvine and DrI Joss, both expert
in their line, are being sent to the big
beef producing countries to instruct
the packers there how to prepare theii
products so as to expedite the entry
into this country of fresh beef whet
the att becomes effective.
The action of the department ii
sending experts with assistnats is re
garded as the most advanced step yet
taken by the administration in the
hope of reducing the cost of living in
this country. The department recent
ly received information that American
packers are preparing to increase
their facilities in South American
countries in anticipation of increased
trade, but whether or not this prom
iscs any substantial relief seems doubt
fuL
According to Dr. Melvin the situa
tion in regard to the beef supply in
this country is serious. He says that
Americans are the greatest consum
ers of beef in the world.
According to Dr. Melvin the aver
age consumption of meat here is 162
pounds a year for each person, of
Which beef alone constitutes eighty
pounds.
"One of the reasons of the lack
of beef cattle fn this country," said
Dr. Melvin today, "is a failure to per
mit cattlemen to lease public range
where it can be fenced and water de
veloped, and the most got out of the
public range in that way. At present
the government has ro satisfactory
leasing system so that cattlemen would
be justified in naklng plans for the
future.
"Estimates by the brreau of statis
tics of the department of agriculture
show that in the lost six years the
number of beef cattle in the United
States has fallen from 41,566, 000 to
36,030,000, or 30 per ct nt.

New York, July 22. A small
nzettge-shaped zinc case wrapped in
paper and addressed to Andrew Car

the corporation at 576 Fifth avenue
by mail this afternoon. The thing is
believed to be a bomb, but whether
it is or not won't be determined for
certain until tomorrow morning when
Owen Grogan, the bomb expert of the

AFFAIR CREATES EXCITEMENT
Warrants Served On All The Parties
And Hearing Will Take Place
Saturday.
Albert E. Wadsworth, a well known
Craven county farmer who lives in
No. 9 Township, was roughly handled
when he became engaged Monday
afternoon in an altercation with Luther
J. and Jesse Davis, sons of County
Commissioner E. Z. R. Davis of Cove
City. Warrants have been issued
for all three and they will be given a
preliminary hearing before Justice of
the Pecae S. R. Street next Saturday
morning at 11 o'clock.
Owing to the prominence of the
parties implicated in the affair it
Clark took 1 caused a great deal of excitement and

explanation of the remarks made about

(Special to the Journal.)
Morchead City, July 23. During
the past month the Atlantic Hotel
Men-head City, has greatly strengthen
ed its past record as being the leading
sea shore resort of the South. Crowds
are still coming from everywhere to
share the refreshing breezes that come
from off the old Atlantic.
With the present number of something
like four hundred and the large number
already booked for August and the rest
of the season, the management of this
old house is greatly pleased with the
prospect of pulling off the busiest
season that has been in the history of
i he hotel.
Great enthusiasm is being manifes
ted in the exercises of the many sports
which are here to engage in. such at,
fishing, bathing, Iwat'ng, dancing and
the like; and the careful attention
and keen interest tendered each and
every one at this place, make it at
I leasant as home itself. While the sea
son began early here this year it will
not be necessary to close early, but will
probably be the lateit to close. So
parties wishing to follow the crows
and take a few weeks off with the hook
and line will strike the seaton in full
bloom if they come along now.
Fishing is good, and all who like thit
kind of spert will certainly be pleased
with every hour they art- out.

bomb came, to his home in New Jer
ey. Somebody in the office thought ' county where it occurred
.hat the package was stamped with , time there has been an
urctgn stamps, the police took pos
session of the bomb.
When Egan came and examined the
strange machine he said he had never
seen anything like it. As one tipped
it up there was the sound of a liquid
rolling about in the shell. This sug
gested nitro-glycerine, and also sug
gested a phosphorus compound. Nitro
glycerine is the first thing a bomb
experts thinks of when he finds that
the case he holds contains a liquid.
This explosive ordinarily would re
quire some sort of a concussion to set
it off.
The smoothly finished jointed zinc
case looked harmless enough in it
self. If there was nitro-glycerine in
side, the person who manufactured
the machine may have expected that
Mr. Carnegie or some of his asso
ciates or subordinates would be fright
ened at the appearance of the case
and drop it which would set off
nitro-glycerine nicely; or perhaps he
thought some one would be foolish
enough to go at it with a hammer
and chisel, which would furnish the
required concussion
A hint was given to the detectives
that the recent transfer by Mr. Car
negie of $10,000,000 from the Ameri
can corporation to his Dumferline cor
poration in Scotland, may have had
something to do with the sending of
the machine. This hint was based on
the theory that the sending was the
work of some fanatic, whose idea of
patriotism was affronted by the trans
fer of so much money to Scotland. The
detectives didn't take the suggestion
very seriously. If the case is filled
with nitro-glycerine, as appeared pos
sible, it was a mere matter of luck
that it didn't explode in the mails
while in transit, for there was nothing
about but the wrapping paper to
lesson the concussion of the ordi
nary jamming about which a package

This is a bargain for some one.

New York, July 23. The mystery of
the "bomb" sent to Andrew Carnegie
yesterday in care of the secretary of the
Carnegie Corporation has been solved
It was a juicy cheese inclosed in a
smell-proof case of zinc a Scotch
cheese, according to an expert called
into conference after the bureau had
definitely determined that the "bomb"
contained neither nitroglycerine, dy
namite nor other deadly explosive.
After deliberating nearly a whole day
how to determine the contents of the
"bomb" without causing an explosion
that would injure anybody, officials
of the Bureau of Combustibles took the
"infernal machine" to a vacant lot.
There, from a safe distance, while an
immense crowd waited with their
fingers in their ears expecting an awful
report, an official leveled a rifle at the
"bomb" and perforated it with a
bullet.
A thick yellow substance oozed from
the hole and that was all that happened.
Four more bullets were fired into the
"bomb" and still silence reigned. Soon,
however, a pungent and self-explanatory
odor became perceptible, and
even the laymen present were able
to recognize the true nature of the
"bomb."
The cheese was returned to the Car
negie Corporation resembling more the
Swiss product that the Scotch.
Mr. W. D. Ipock,
Dear Sir,
For two years past I have been sick
and under the care of two of the best
doctors we have. But after drinking the
Blue Springs water for two days I felt
more relief than at any time while
taking the doctor's medicine. Before
drinking the water I could not sleep
without being propped up in bed, now
I can sleep lying down as well as any
body.
The water is till helping me and I
shall continue drinking it a while longer.
Yours truly,
B. D. CAYTON.

so I have been drinking it two months,

WILL FORM SAFETY LEAGUES
R pid Growth Of Modern City
Makes It Necessary To Study
Accident Prevention.
New York, July 23. How the Amer-1
ican Museum of Safety is conducting its
children's safety crusade in New York
City to prevent the little ones from
being run over by trolley cars and other
vehicles will be told by Dr. William H.
Tolman, safety expert and director
of the American Museum of Safety,
at the National Conversation Exposi
tion which will be held in Knoxville,
Tenn., during September and October.
Mrs. Horace Van Deventer, Presi
dent of the Woman's Department
of the National Conservation Expo
sition, has made arrangements with
President Williams of the American
Museum of Safety whereby a whole
day, probably October 14th will be set
aside and known as the Children's
Safety Day. On this day Children's
Safety Leagues will be formed and the
Children's Safety Crusade started in
earnest in Tennessee. The Woman's
Department of the Conservation Ex
position is also arranging with the rail
roads so that children may be brought
to Knoxville from a radius of a hundred
miles around at greatly reduced rates.
President Williams of the Museum
of Safety has detailed Dr. Tolman
to be at the Exposition on "Safety Day"
bringing with him moving pictures
and lantern slides which will show the
children of Tennessee how the children
in the busy crowded streets of New York
City are avoiding accidents. More
than 412,000 children in the New York
public schools have been enrolled in
the Safety League of the American
Museum of Safety.
Said Dr. Tolman in speaking of the
work of the Museum:
"Accident prevention is primarily
a matter of education, and the hope for
sound and efficient citizens in the future
lies in training the children of the pres
ent generation to think and act along
lines of safety and caution on the streets
and in their homes.
"The very rapid growth of the modern
large city, unexpected and unprovided
for, has deprived the children of yards
and playgrounds. The street of the
city is in many sections the only
available play place. To this fact
as much as to anything else is due
the great daily sacrifice in life and limb.
The great industrial and commercial
development within the confines of
the modern large city has reduced
to a minimum the moral dangers of the
street, and increased to an alarming
extent the physucat dangers. The
rapid growth of the modern large city
has forced many problems on us which
call for solution, but probably none
calls more urgently nor more immediate
ly for solution than the problems of
the protection of life and, limb of
children as well as of adults.
"It is right that the child should be
trained to think and act along lines of
safety and caution on the street, in
the shhop and at home. At any rate,
the dangers of the street, the shop
and the home should be brought to its
notice so that it may at least be forewarned.

Those who have headaches must
surely know that something is wrong

without knowing exactly why he has it.
The migraine attacks those who are
