Why not a better babies contest
at this Fair?
We've went broke on the Giants
the last time.
The Old Master, Matty, was the hero
in defeat just as he was last year.
Well, now that the world s series are
all over we can get down to work once
"The same old bill" we are afraid,
is going to turn out to be counter
felt. If Mexico, Thaw and Sulzer were to
be suddenly blotted from existence
this would be a dull old world, indeed.
A legislator has a very poor opinion
of his constituents when he refuses
to submit a proposition to them for
their acceptance or rejection; the
initiative and referendum, for instance.
You are specially invited to be here
bright and early on the morn of October
28, and see the biggest Fair ever held
in these parts.
It seems it is against the law to keep
Thaw in New Hampshire and also
against the Law to deport him; this
makes you think of the irresistible
force hitting the immovable object.
If old Balboa could come back today
and see the waters of the Pacific and
the Atlantic mingling with each other
through the Panama Canal the chances
are that he would be like the old farmer,
who, on seeing the giraffes declared,
"there ain't no sich things."
If the Kitchin and Simmon's forces
Unite, as it is rumored, the lamb and the
lion will indeed have lain down together.
But, why not? What is the use of
harboring up old scores forever.
Our heartiest congratulations to the
esteemed News and Observer upon
entering its new home. May that
great paper continue to reap success
in the same full measure in the future
as it has in the past. Its rise from the
ashes has been truly remarkable.
A fellow like Clarence Poe, Julian
Cdrr, the Pages and others who are
busily engaged in building up the
State are worth a carload of "tin
horn" politicians who come around
every year or two telling the people
how good they love them and what they
will do if only the dear people will
give them an office.
It begins to look like Uncle Sam
will be forced, after all, to take a hand
in the matter. The idea seems to be
rooted into these Mexicans that the
United States is only bluffing and that
if things came to a showdown this
government would back down. Under
such circumstances it might be a good
Idea to show them that we mean
business and that at not a late date.
The five hundred people who were
saved when the steamer Volturno
burned to the water's edge in mid
ocean, a few days ago, owe their lives
to Marconi and the wireless. Had it
not been for the mysterious current
that flashed through the air in all
directions, summoning aid, all would
have gone down with the ship. Each
and every one of the survivors have
great cause to be thankful to the great
inventor and to science that have made
travel by tea less perilous.
No, that calf bill passed by the legis
lature is not directed et the slit skirt
No such things as melancholy au
tumn days in New Bern.
Tom Dixon should know that the
way to solve the race question is not
by stirring up race prejudice.
Strength to the arm of the State
Jolrnal in its fight against the fire
Insurance trust.
Now that Messrs Underwood and
Hobson have locked horns Alabama
will be furnished a rare brand of amuse
ment for the next few months.
Bet if you ere not satisfied that the
new currency bill is safe you can go
back to the old sock; the law doesn't
affect that bank.
Now that the medical Journal has
found out how to lie when asleep some
people will He twenty-four hears a day.
Not knowing anything about the
currency question we refrain frees ad
vising congress oa the subject which
it better than some others will do.
Sulzer ought to have turned good-1
before electiongand not have waiter
till after he became Gevernor to de
nounce Tammany.
In our judgment the session of the
legislature just closed was fruitful
of mofe good legislation than any other
session of the past decade.
The old hen is not to be despised
by any means; last year this country
exported 21 million dozen eggs. Twenty
years ago the number exported was
only 143,000 dozen. This is a remark-
ablve increase and shows how the
industry is growing.
Bion H. Butler writing in the News
and Observer hits the nail on the head
when he says that the great need of
the South is more labor. Mr. Butler
points out that the tobacco industry
is greatly crippled because enough
labor cannot be obtained to carry on
the work. The same thing is true
of the cotton industry also.
Speaking of the proposed steamship
line and of the value to North Carolina
of a rate basing port of her own instead
of depending on Norfolk, the Wil
mington Star correctly outlines the
situation in the following:
"There's the run, however, for with
two steamship companies competing
for the business and a third ready to
come if the business will warrant it,
the question is whether North Caro
lina products can be gotten to a North
Carolina port at a rate that will en
able it to compete with Norfolk. How
ever, with the Legislature's entering
into a rate compromise that has here
tofore "bottled up" the port, as The
Observer once contended, it is now
left to the tender mercies of the rail
roads as to the future policy that they
will pursue towards the port. They
may see the opportunity to build up
their business here, but North Caro
lina has lost hers to open her port for
the carriage of the products of her
cotton mills, tobacco factories, furni
ture factories, cottonseed oil mills and
other products for export either coast
wise or foreign.
The port of Wilmington cannot live
off itself, and as the State through its
Legislature has done its best to make
it a mere local water point, we don't
see how the esteemed Observer can
hope for Wilmington's ocean trade to
be "augmented by freight traffic from
the interior." That traffic already
goes to Norfolk and as the State has
concluded a deal that ratifies that
policy of the railroads, it is hardly
possible thatjthey will do for this
port what North Carolina would not
do herself.
We are not pessimistic, mind you,
but we speak the truth when we say
we profoundly regret that North Caro
lina has never appreciated her oppor
tunity at her port. The port is now
about to get the additional steamship
service that would enable Charlotte
and other commercial centers to uti
lize it to advantage, but with the port
bottled up against Charlotte and the
whole of North Carolina, by the con
sent of North Carolina, it takes an op
timist to believe that Charlotte will
ever import or export anything by
way ol any ocean gateway ol the
State-that is for a long time to come."
Come on, shell out, and help the band
boys along.
Now, all together everybody and let's
take one last swat at' the flies.
A man will not borrow trouble as
long as you will loan him anything
else.
No man needs a town who doesn't
think he is living in the best place on
earth.
In delaying its decision, the court
may be just playing with Sulzer in
cat and mouse fashion.
An exchange puts it correctly when
it says that the bankers have approved
all of the currency bill except the main
features.
Taft has endorsed the administration
and we are now confidently expecting
it to turn out a failure.
And to make the Fair all the more
pleasant the good ladies are going to
serve all kinds of refreshments.
So long as we export 20 million
dozen eggs to other countries it might
be said that we are hen-dependent
on the egg question.
Tom Dixon seems to be obessed with
the idea that Northern capitalists
are going to buy our schools and turn
them over to the negroes.
Why do we continue to send our
money West for hay when we could
raise all we need right here at home?
Suppose we annex Mexico and make a
sort of Siberia of it and send out Thsws
and Sulzer's etc., drwn there?
Ty Cobb is visiting in Goldsboro,
t is reported that the entire 243
population of that place met him at the
train.
It is a dull day when our friend,
Saunders, is not indicted. It looks
like it is about time to cut it out;
it seems to be more of a persecution
than prosecution.
With the vessel on fire on one side
and a stormy sea on the other, it might
be said without levity, that the passen
gers of the Volurtno were between the
devil and the deep blue sea.
"Fifteen years ago Hobson was a
hero and he has been a nuisance
ever since," is the neat way the New
York World puts it.
If Alabama selects Hobson instead
of Underwood, says the Charlotte
Observer, she has proven herself
to be a State of yaps. The Observer
is exatly right.
The chances are than somebody was
to blame for the Volturno disaster;
it would hardly have occurred if every
one had done his duty. Any how
the matter should be thoroughly in
vestigated. A Washington girl was arrested
the other day for wearing a red garter
so that it could be seen through the
slit skirt. These policeman must all
be from Missouri; they certainly see a
lot of things.

BAD WEATHER
CAUSES DELAY
JONES COUNTY FARMERS HIN
DERED IN HARVESTING
VARIOUS CROPS.
(Special to the Journal.)
Polloksville, N. C, Oct. 14. Last
week's bad weather set the farmers
back quite a lot in the harvesting
of their various crops, cotton is rot
ting in the fields so is corn and hay.
The cotton business is pretty well
represented here on the local market
every Saturday by Messrs. Taylor
Elliott and Ball, of New Bern, and
Bender of this place who make quite
a lively fight for the fleecy staple
There was about 40 bales sold here
last Saturday at about 13.30 per pound,
which was very satisfactory to the
farmers. It was predicted at the
beginning of 1913 that this year would
be the most disastrous of any in the
history of the last century, so far this
prediction seems not to have come true.
The sportsmen of this community
report a scarcity of game this season
of varieties, the wet spring and summer
seems to have been bad on young birds
Samuel Lilly is a busy man. He
is ever on the alert for the law breaker,
last week he made an arrest here of a
blind tiger, and it is predicted that
there are others soon to be made.
We regret to learn that we are soon
to loose one of our progressive farmers,
in the person of Mr. John J. Pritchett,
who has for several years conducted
the Model farm of Mr. C. E. Foy near
here to the entire satisfaction of
the owner. He will in the future have
charge of the very five farm recently
purchased by The Atlantic Coast
Realty Co., of Mr. William F. Foy,
down Trent River in this county.
Mr. Pritchett will cultivate Corn,
Cotton, Tobacco and Peanuts on this
farm and will be in a position to employ
a great many hands and accommodate
fifteen or twenty tenants on this place,
so he tells us.

HELPLESS AS BABY
Down in Had Unable to Work,
and What Helped Her.
Summit Point. W. Va. Mrs. Anna
Belle Emey, of this place, says: "I suf
fered for 15 yean with an awful pain in
my right side, caused from womanly
trouble, sad doctored lots for it, but with
out success. I suffered so very much,
that 1 became down in mind, and as help
less as a baby. I was in the worst kind
of shape, wag unable to do any work.
I began taking Cardui. the womar's
tonic, and rot relief from the verv first
dose. By the time I had taken 12 bot
tles, my health was completely restored.
1 am now 48 years yean old, out fed as
good as I did when only 10.
Cardui certainly saved me from losing
my mind, and 1 feel it my duty to speak
in its favor. I wish I had some power
over poor, suffering women, and could
make them know the good ft would do
inem."
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, ft will certainly be
worth your while to give Cardui a trial.
It has been helping weak women for
more than 50 years, and wiH help you,
too.
Try Cardui. Your druggist sells it.
