To the Board of Commissioners, of Craven County, New Bern, N. C. Dear Sirs, I have pleasure to make the following report, and recommendations: . By order of your Board at the last meeting, I am proceeding to place in good repair as early as possible, all the bridges on the public roads of the County. I recommend that you rder another car of pure iron (99.84 per cen pipe, and place in where is most needed. I also suggest that these bridges be charged to the General Fund, but await your decision as to what Fund they are to be charged against. I have taken up the matter of getting convicts from the State Prison, but am advised by the Superintendent that none are available at present. I recommend that we raise the Convict Supt. salary to Sixty Dollars ($60.00) per month. There is a demand for such men throughout the State, and we would be unfortunate to lose him, and rather than lose him, we should pa y htm the customary salary. I recommend that the Trent Road be widened from the City line to a point where it is already 40 feet wide. I recommend that the negro store opposite Mr. Lancaster's on the Neuse road, at the mile post 6, be moved back out of the road. We arc shaping up the Pembroke road, Trent road and expect to shape up the Neuse road from the mile post 67"to the Township line, the road from Bill ir to the Neuse road, and the Washington road, out of the 8th Township Road fund. I nm spending the Township Funds left over from the previous years, with the sanction of the Trustees of these funds. I nm having considerable work done while I can get the labor, but will hav ' to quit as soon as cotton picking begins. Mr. John Humphrey of Clarks is opening up the road from Clarks to Rhems according to a petition and your order of August 4th. We have ditches in the Newport Pocosin draining that road. It some time gets impassable. ' Respectfully submitted R. E. Snowden.

Madison Heights, Va. Mr. Chas. A. Ragland, of this place, writes: "I have been taking Thedford's Black-Draught for indigestion, and other stomach troub les, also colds, and find it to be the very best medicine I have ever used. After taking Black-Draught for a few days, I always feel like a new man." Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain in pit of stomach, and a feeling of full ness after eating, are sure symptorimjl stomach trouble, and should be given the proper treatment, as your strength and health depend very largely upon your food and its digestion. To get quick and permanent relief from these ailments, you should take a medicine of known curative merit. Its 75 years of splendid success, in the treatment of just such troubles, proves the real merit of Thedford's Black- Draught.

N. c la E IS PROGRESSING County Commissioners Believe That The Draw Can Be Repaired. STEAM DERRICK BEING USED Steel And Iron Torn Asunder When Schooner Rammed Bridge. The work of rebuilding the county iridgc across Neuse river is being push ed ahead as rapidly as possible but the work must necessarily be done slowly. When the schooner Sara Wilson, the vessel which rammed the bridge during the storm of September 3, struck the draw, this section of the bridge, which is constructed mainly of iron and steel, was badly bent and twisted and also broken at several point:;. This draw cost several hundred dollars and thinking that it could be repaired the County Commissioners have secured the services of a large steam derrick and the draw has been lifted from its former location and placed on the pilings Hanking the channel where a force of men arc now eneaecd in repairing it.

Railroads Anticipate Heavy De mand For Cars And Lay Plans Accordingly. SHOPS RUNNING AT CAPACITY Shippers Can Help By Loading And Unloading Cars As Rapidly As Possible. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 10. Healthy business conditions throughout the southeast during the fall and winter are indicated by the action of the rail ways of this section in calling upon shippers to aid them in maintaining an adequate car supply drtring the crop moving season. Anticipating a heavy demand for cars, the railways are themselves doing everything possi ble to increase their car supply. Shops are being run at full capacity to put every available car in repair and car builders are being urged to turn out new equipment as rapidly as possible. Steps are also being taken to provide for the most expeditious handling of cars at terminals and transfer points. While the railways are making these preparations for the rush of heavy business, it is recognized that shippers can render assistance of the greatest importance by loading and unloading cars as promptly as possible, thus avoiding unnecessary detention of cars and by loading cars to their full capacity As an adequate car supply is as im portant to shippers and the general public as it is to the railways, an appeal is being made to shippers individually and through trade and commercial odies to aid the railways in their effort to. secure the maximum efficiency in the use of cars.

MY OTHER SELF By DONALD CHAMBERUN My wife bud commissioned me to call at Hyde's for her jewels that had been left there for resetting and other alter ations. and bring them to her when 1 should leave the city to Join her at our country place. Passing Hyde's n few days before 1 was ready to start, 1 thought oHhe Jewels, called for them and took them home. There Is no safe In my house, and 1 was at a loss what to do with them until my departure. My wife has a woman who has been with her a great many years. She was and Is her "maid," but If she is to be called by such a name now she Is sure ly an "old maid." I am very careless, and I knew that my wife placed Im plicit trust In Phoebe. I therefore gave her the jewels and told her to take care of them until I called for them. The next dny, returning from my of fice, as was my custom, about half an hour before dinner on passing the din ing room I saw that dinner was al ready served and a man was Bitting at my place ut the table. Then I received the shock of my life. He turned his face toward me, and I saw Great heavens! 1 saw myself! I had no more doubt that I had re ceived one of those brain shocks the doctors call amnesia or some more un pronouncnble name than that I am telling you this story. I clutched at the wall for support. My legs were giving way beneath me. Then, fear lng to faint, I grasped at consciousness and succeeded in holding on to It. I that I which was sitting In the chair looking at me was dressed ex actly the same as the I standing In the hall. The most remarkable thing about the matter was that he Beemed as much stricken with surprise and terror as I. He trembled like a leaf. My colored butler Joe, who wns carrying out a dish to the kitchen, turned, stop ped short nnd stored at both me and my other self. Thoebe, who was up stairs, hearing the front door open and shut, came to the landing and, seeing that I had Just entered the house, ran down to the lower hall where I was standing, exclaiming: "For heaven's sake! I thought you were In the dining room." Mv double, sitting at table with a small cup of coffee before him, lndl eating that he was at the end of bis dinner, spoke first and to Phoebe. Do you see anything strange?" he nsked. Phoebe wns too agitated to reply. She stood looking from one to the other. "Tell me, quick," continued the speaker, "have I gone stark, staring mad? Tell me that you see myseir standing there shivering, just as I am doing." I see you both!" she gasped. Where did you come from?" I man aged to ask my double. "Where did you come from?" "The office." "I have been at the office all day till I came here." "What officer' "Mine; 38 Harrison street" Oh, heavens! That was my office. I had left it only twenty minutes be fore. 'Joe," I said to the butler, "am 1 myself or Is that man myself?" There was a smash. Joe, whose eyes were as big as saucers, dropped the dish on the floor and ran out of the room without a word. 'Phoebe," said my double, "tell me whether I am the mnster of this house or that" He could get no fur ther. I don't know." said Phoebe, at much agitated us any one of us. "Don't know!" cried the man nt the table, rising. "Ring up a docter. I shall go mad. No; I can't stand tbts. I can't wait. I must know the worst at once!" Dashing post me, he seized his hat. that was hanging In the hall, and In another moment the door was slammed behind blm. I went into the dining room, sank Into a chair and asked Phoebe to hand me a stimulant from the sideboard, it put me In better con ditlon. "Now, Phoebe, tell me what you know about this." All I know, sir, is that an hour ago you I mean him came homo and said he must hove dinner at once, as he going away. He told me to bring him all the valuables and he would put them in the bank. I got the Jewels"- "The Jewels f "Yes, sir. I gave them to him and A light began to break through my stupid skull. Rushing to the telephone I called the police and told them tnat I had beeu victimized by some one who looked exactly like me. Five minutes hod not elapsed be tween the man's departure and the police getting after him. A patrol wagon dashed up to my house. They ill took a look at me, and in less than in hour they had my double. The story he told as to how he con celved of and arranged for his plan- he had been watching me for some time showed great Ingenuity. And yet it was a very simple matter. He bad seen me at the Jeweler's nnd heard all I snld about the jewels. More over, he saw a strong resembl nee to himself. He had been on the stn; i and was well versed in the art of making np. The suit I wore wn of ordinary dark cloth, and he possessed one near enough like It In appenrance to serve his purpose. Thus prepared he had gone to my house In my ab-. sence and made himself at home.
