Today's election will decide whether New York City wants to be decent or not. IWe regret to ay that there is not any too much eathusiasm around here about working the roads. fif the town is to keep on growing we must have more industries. Other wise we trill soon come to a standstill. A contemporary publishes a poem signed "0- H." After reading it we (Aid the same thing. Of course you can't blame aa office holder for not resigning from a good job ; it is against human nature to turn loose Of a good thing until you have to. Of course the ones that fail to land that P. O. job are going to be a little soYe; that's human nature. A $2,800 jap U something to be sore about. Today is election day in many of the States and politicians will watch .the; results closely to see how the wind is, blowing. We are not worrying much over who is ta get the Post Office; we are expect ing to get ur mail just the same as before. The roads of North Carolina cannot he made good in two days. The 5th and Oth of this month are set aside for creating enthusiasm more than anything else. We must not stop after working those two days, but the Work on a lesser scale must "go on con tinuously until th Old North State is pulled out of the mud. A contemporary deplores the fact that too much of the valuable time f our congressman and senators is wastMr fooling with patronage. It States that probably one-third of their time is taken up this way. We some times think that it would lie a good idea if all lines of the service were placed under civil service rule or. as Judge Clark advocates made elective. Since the Journal announced that it could name the new Postmaster it has been asked to do so 6,437,978,04" times. Just have a little patienrr, brethren, and we will accommodate you at a little more propitious time. Dame rumor has it that New Bern will be pretty well represented in the fight for the congressional nomina tion in this district, next Spring. And there's going to be a real fight, too. The way to silence peop't who ex press views objectionable to you is by reasoning and argument and not be resorting to the courts. If your oppo nent's position is not sound, and he is anything but a fool, the cold light of reason will soon cause him to retire. Tyrannical methods will make him more obstinate and convince him he is ffcht. THE FAIR'S NRSD. We are printing the following letter from Mr. W. R. Tingle, of Arapahoe, N. C, because, in a sensible way, ft expresses the view point of the average visitor to the Fair; "Editor Journal: "The Fair heing over I presume h is in erder now to register our kick f we have one. 1 must say that as to the exhibits was well satisfied Many ere excellent and some,! especially that from the State Department of Agrirulture, were quite Instructive Aa to the stock, to aay the least, I was eVHgbted. Of course there was not half a many entries as there should have been, but there wen eertainly some ha stock shown. "By far the worst thing about the i Fair was the transportation facilities afatdes being inadequate it was en tirely ton expensive for the Ordinary country people to patronise taw Fair aa they should. And before Another Fair la held 1 sincerely hope that either the car line or the railroad will he ex tended to the Fair grounds! And also tbeft mote internet can be mated among the farmers. Each local of the Farmers' Union in Eastern Carolina ahouH have an exhibit to show the progress it is making. "Taking it as a whole the Fair was good, though, in some respects, not all that could be desired. Here's hoping for a better Fair ext year." The gentleman is right as to the transportation question and we feel that something must be done before another Fair is held. And we feel quite safe in predicting that something will be done ere another year rolls around. The Fair Association has already opened negotiations with the Norfolk Southern and, we understand, have received promises from them. We also wish to assure Brother Tingle that the Fair will be "Bigger and Better" next year. New Bern "pulled off" another big fair this week scoring even much greater than with the one last year. The fair not only shows how live is the Eastern section of the State but first of all demonstrates its rich re sources. The fair is always worth while but especially such as New Bern To the roads everybody! By the way, have you felt any relief, whatever, since the railroad rate law was passed? Before going to war with the Mexican dictator let's arm up those revolution ists and see if they can do the job. The Colored Fair is a credit to the race and would be a credit to any other race, for that matter. Unfortunately there are not enough 1'ost offices to go all around, conse quently somebody is going to be left out in the cold. It seems there will never be any more peace; just at the time the New York row ceases Thaw gets ready to start something again. Vanderlip might as well close that hole in his face as Congress is aot going to pay any attention to anything he says. Chas. R. Thomas made a good Congressman before and if he should go back he will be a good one again. With bis daughter fixing to be married the Senate kicking over the traces and Mexico boiling over, the President certainly has bis hands full. Governor Craig has invited Cole Blease to come up and help work the roads. If that gentleman can throw dirt as well as he can mud it was a great move on the governor I pari. Last call to put 'em on.

Something extra coming. And if the Government would dredge Neuse River, in a few years we would show you a city all rifht. The editorial in yesterday's Journal on working the roads should have been credited to the "Old Reliable." STOMACH TROUBLES It.

Not mora than 50 of the- men answered the sura mons. Twelve arrests were made during the day most of the prisoners being charged with inciting to riot and cnrowing stones. nit tne prisoners were taken from the crowds that flock ed around the cars and threatened the strikbreakers. YOUNG WOMAN FOUND - IS NOT THE ONE WANTED. HERE "Where is Lucile Middleton? "She disappeared from her home, 305 Duncan avenue, last monday morning and nothing has been heard of her since. "Miss Middleton is 16 years old and pretty. She weighs about 115 pounds, height 5 feet 5 inches, and has gray eyes. When she left home she wore a light gray dress, white vest with red buttons, and black hat trimmed with a blue feather. Detective Stevenson has been work ing on the case for five days, but he says he has been unable to find a single clue that might lead to the whereabouts of the girl. Her disappearance is a deep in mystery. "She was employed as a cashier by the Pender Grocery Company and left home last Monday to go to work. She never returned. She went into Gar- trell's haberdashery in Granby street and left a package. She wrote the name of Jimmy Beasley and a telephone number on the wrapper, but left no other clue. Miss Middleton's relatives say the girl's nind is affected. She suffers with peculiar spells at times and loses ab solute control of herself. Four months ago she disappeared from home and was not found for four days. She spent all this time in a room in the Princess hotel and refused to eat or see anyone. Night Clerk Fahn of the Princess says the girl did nothing but cry the whole time she was in the room. He could not find out anything about her. Nobody came to see her, and when he offered to help her she told him to let her alone. " 'I sent out and bought sandwiches and some cream for her,' said Mr. Fahn, 'and tried to find her people, hut she would not let me help her. I felt sorry for the young lady, and I really wanted to do what I could to help her.' "After Miss Middleton was returned to her home on this occasion, she spent six weeks in bed. She suffers from nervous trouble, her people say. When her mother asked her why she remained away from home she said she did not know. " 'I suffered dreadfully,' she told her mother; 'I could see you and sister, but 1 could not come to you.' "Mrs. Middleton distracted with grief over the disappearance of her ga ugh ter, has nothing in the way of a clue that might help to reveal her whereabouts. "When she is suffering from the spells she imagines nobody cares for her. " The police will continue to search for the missing girl, and Mrs. Middleton will welcome information from anyone who will help her locate her daughter. Norfolk Virginian Pilot, Nov. 3. A young woman who, in every way, answered the description of Miss Middleton arrived in New Bern last Tuesday and has since that time been spent much of her time at the Fair grounds. The local police have had her under surveillance since arrival, and when it was learned here that the Norfolk young woman was missing Chief of Police C. Lupton and Police man Bryan went to the place where the young woman was stopping and close ly questioned her. However, she satisfied them that she is not the one who disappeared from Norfolk and was not taken in custody. SMALLPOX AT ST.fMARY'S. HI Isolated Case Hae Been Discovered At School In Raleigh. Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 3. A case of smallpox developed today at St. Mary's School, Episcopal Parochial school for North and South Carolina. in a most unaccountable manner. Rev. George W. Lay, rector of the school, says it is very mild case, the patient having no "temperature. She had been under close observation and isolated for days before physicians finally pronounced here malady small pox. Dr. Rankin, of the State Board of Health, and Dr. Knox, have given special attention to the case and to precautions to prevent any spread of the disease among students. Dr. Mc Kee, city physician, is in charge of the case, with a trained nurse con stantly with her and the -most com plete isolation. The work of the school will go right on without in J I terruption, everybody about the insti tution being freshly vaccinated I I Was it admiration for Suiter or re sentment for Murphy that sent Suler bark to Albany?

Supreme Court Endorsee Ruling Of Inter-State Commission. Washington, Nov. 4. The Inter- State CommerceJiCommissioners' or der reducing the freight rates on lem ons from California to Atlantic sea board points from $1.15 to $1 was up held today in the Supreme Court. In a memorandum filed by Chief Justice White as authority for the court's action, four previous decisions of the court were cited, holding that questions of the reasonableness of rates involving mere facts were for the Inter-State Commerce Commission to pass upon alone and not for the courts to review. TIN CAN CAUSED TROUBLE. Was Tied To Yelping Canine's Tall. Some miscreant who was evidently under the influence of the liquid that cheers, created a furroe of excitement in the wee sma' hours yesterday morn ing by attaching a discarded tin can to the rear extermity of some harmless but excitable canine and then gave said canine a good start up Pollock street. The combined noise caused by the tin striking the pavement every few feet and the frightened yelp of the fleeing dog caused every dog along the route of the chase to awaken and make the welkin ring with his howls. Many persons were awakened and out of numerous windows nightcapped heads were thrust to learn the cause of the disturbance. The dog with the can still jangling along behind him finally disappeared in the distance and quiet reigned, but it is safe to say that many in precat ions were helped upon the head of the person who caused the row, "Taere'sa Differece ASK YOJ.t DOCTOR Pepsi-Cola .For Thirst Thinkers.
