Sulzer appears to be a man without party. In skinning out while the skinning was good, J. Lind is showing "hoss" tense. John Lind appears to be taking leg kail for Uncle Sam's domain. Of course kissing is unhealthful but then we don't mind a little sickness once in a while. While we appreciate the fact that this is a very select community, still we do not care to go to the expense of fencing ourselves in. Hammer andWebb are ominous names for Holton and Logan to ponder ver. Did you ever try to wean a calf? If you have you know about how hard it is to try to pry loose Messrs. Holton, Seawell et al. lit While the people up North are suf fering from snow storms the citizens t New Bern are quietly enjoying Indian summer. "Whiskey is the nation's curse" lays the W. C. T. U. Undoubtedly mean Virginia liquor has received more cursing at the hands (?) of North Carolinians than anything we know of. Wouldn't it be awful if Overman rakes up a job for Glenn, too? This senatorial race must not be a pink tea affair. Somebody has got to run agains Overman if we have to do it ourselves. Press reports say that we are giving Huerta so much time to do this, and that while Huerta seems to be taking as much time as he wants. We do not care so much what it is so something is started in New Bern that will increase the pay roll. A new cotton mill has been suggested and work has already begun in trying to raise the amount necessary with which to begin operations. We hope the gent lemen behind the project will succeed. While we do not say that yesterday's automobile accident was the result of speeding, it is a fact that the city's speed law is being violated almost with impunity. We don't make this statement recklessly but from observation. With in the last ew month a number of accidents have happened that should have been avoided. Somebody should get so the job. MR. SIMMONS NOT INCONSIST ENT. "A few days since it was reported that the chances greatly favored the designa tion of Hon. Claude Kitchen as chair man of the Ways and Means committee, to succeed Mr. Underwood, and a fea ture of the report ascribed to Senator Simmons an intention to aid the North Carolina member. It was stated that factional differences had been forgotten and that the entire delegation from the state would do everything possible to bring. about a realization of Mr. Kin h in't aspirations. "At the time the Daily News found no fault with the reputed peace program, broadly speaking, but it occurred to us as singular that Mr. Simmons would find it so easy to overlook the character of the opposition which he had encoun I ered from Mr. Kitchin, declining the while to forgive and forget in the cases W the several postmasters who have not unnaturally incurred the displeasure ef the senior senator, but who had been bo more caustic than had Mr. Kitchin while the senatorial campaign was in progress. We thought we discerned an element of inconsistency in the sttitude ef the Senator. "Since the publication of that editor ial we have been informed, by those ia position to be advised, that Mr. Sim mons has not interested himself one way r another in the contest over the chair manship of the Ways and Means com mittee, he feeling that this is s matter which does net greatly concern him. "Views stay be varied respecting cor rectness of the attitude of Senator Sim mons towards the postmasters who op posed him for re-election, but inasmuch as the senator has taken no hand in the Ways and Means contest k can scarcely be said be has laid himself open to rrlllnlam on the score of in consistency.'' Greensboro News. THE CRIME OP ARSON. Arson is a crime, and the person who commits it should be punished just the seme as the horse thief and the murderer, the man wno tires a building, either his own or his neigh bor's, does so without any guarantee that he will not cause loss of life either fin connection with the fire in the build ing he aims to burn or in an adjoining building. The crime of arson is a dim cult one to fasten on a person, no mat- tar how guilty he may be, for the evi dence must be largely circumstantal, because no one in his right mind sets fire to property in the presence of wit nesses. This fact proves a stumbling block in the way of 'bringing incendia ries to justice. There is a strong senti ment against the murderer, the horse thief, and he violator of the prohib itory laws; but the "fire bug" is looked upon as a myth in many quarters and is regarded too often as a subterfuge manufactured by the insurance com pany to keep from having to pay the insurance policy. And the incendiary, instead of getting his just dues, gets sympathy in his battle with the com pany or with the State authority who investigates the fire. The person who commits arson has many advantages. He usually operates in his own home or place of business, and can choose his own time and place for setting the fire. He can also pre pare an alibi in advance and can prove that he was nowhere near when the fire was discovered. If the fire is success ful, from the point of view of the prop erty owner, the evidence burns up and there is nothing left but suspicious cir cumstances. Wilmington is going to have a 'better babies contest,' and according to the statement of the Editor of the Wilmington Dispatch it is going to take a car load of medals to supply the winners.. We are indeed glad to know that there is such a large number of healthy specimens in the seaport town, and it is to be hoped that there are at least nine of them with baseball instincts, and that we can at some time get Wilmington started in on this proposition of a league for Eastern Carolina." Rocky Mount Telegram. DEFECTIVE FLUE CAME NEAR CAUSING A DESTRUC TIVE BLAZE. (Special to the Journal.) Bridgeton, Nov. 13. Fire, which is believed to have started from a defec tive flue, came near destroying the building occupied by L. R. Davis at this place xlay at noon. The blaze was discovered shortly after 12 o'clock and the alarm of fire turned in as quickly as possible. A large number of citizens were on the scene a few minutes later and a bucket brigade was formed. The fire fighters lost no time in getting water on the flames and in less than fifteen minutes had the blaze under control. The building is owned by C. V. McGehee, of New Bern. The damage to the structure will probably amount to two hundred dollars and this is covered by insurance. A number of improvements are being made at the plant of the Bridgton Lumber Company, which is owned by H. M. Bunting. The plant is being re modeled and a new band saw has been added. DELAYED LETTER CAUSE TROUBLE CONTAINED CHECKS AMOUNT ING TO ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS. Never again will E. M. Lupton, who is a travelling salesman for T. P. Ashford, turn over to another man valuable letters which he wishes to be posted right away. Mr. Lupton did this on Wednesday of this week and the failure of the man who was to place the letters in the postoffice, to get them there on schedule time caused a great deal of trouble and worry. Mr. Lupton had been over in Onslow county collecting for M(. Ashford and had placed the checks, amounting to about' four hundred dollars, in an envelope and intended to mail them as early as possible. He was delayed in reaching the postoffice and turned the letter over to a friend to mail. This friend turned it over to another and the latter forgot to mail it and carried it as far as Kinston on a trip which he was making up the country In the meantime Mr. Ashford began to be worried. He got in communication with Mr. Lupton and after being informed of the facts in the case, telephoned an advertisement to the Journal warning all banks not to cash the checks. When the afternoon train arrived yesterday in came the letter with a special delivery stamp attached. Nat urally all concerned felt relieved and Mr. Lupton at once passed a new resolution to which he intends to adhere. ANTI-TOXIN PRICES. "A recent letter to the State Board of Health from a citizen of North Caro lina states that she has paid her drug gist 415.00 for 10,000 units of diph theria anti-toxin for her sick child. There is no longer any reason why anyone should pay such exorbitant prices. The State Laboratory of Hygiene long ago made a contract with a reliable manufacturer for the sale of the anti-toxin in this State at drug stores in the various localities at reasonable rates. One thousand units may be bought for fifty cents, three thousand for 11.35, five thousand for $1.95. Consequently the ten t hou ses nd units ia this case should have been obtained for ahtmt $3.90 instead of $15.00. POLLOKSVILLE IS A BUSY TOWN MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO ES TABLISH A HARDWOOD PLANT. (Special to the Journal.) Polloksvilie, Nov. 14. The people of this place are very much interested in politics just at this time regardless of the fact that several months will elapse before any of the candidates for offices will begin to "come out." The Polloksvilie people are heartily in favor of Charles R. Thomas for congressman, A. D. Ward for govern. or and S. M. Brison for Secretary of State. The cotton yield in this section is very short and much complaint is being heard from the farmers. The yield all over Jones county is not more than half that of 1912. Quite a number of new people are coming to this section to make their home. Among these arc Wm. F. Foy, of Craven county who has purchased and will remodel the residence of E. B. Elliott; Hardy Whitford, also of Crav en county, who has purchased the home of J. H. Bell, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Parks of Olivers have also moved to Polloks vilie. When so many new people are moving to a new town is a sure thing that they know it is a good place in which to live. Many of the citizens of Polloksvilie.... are interested in the present postoffice squabble at New Bern. While of course it cannot be predicted who will be ap pointed as the next postmaster in that city, there are many here who think that L. C. Daniels will be the fortunate man. H. K. Land, proprietor of the New Bern Daily Journal, was among the business visitors in our town today and spent the day greeting his numerous friends. The Journal is an old standby in Jones county and its arrival every morning is awaited with much antici pation by the numerous subscribers. A revival is now in progress at the Presbyterian church and large crowds are attending the services daily. Rev. Gibbs, of Jacksonville and Rev. Shaw, of Wilmington are in charge of the meeting and they have already had number of conversions. A movement is on foot here to organ ize a company to erect and operate a hardwood factory to manufacture axe helves, wagon hubs, etc. Must interest is being shown in the movement and it is believed that the project will be put through and the plant in operation at no late date. The public, school at this place, which In'gan its fall term a few weeks ago, is making excellent progress and Prof. A. H. White and his faculty, consisting of Misses Lowder, Eliza leth Moore and Lila Dilahunt, are greatly pleased. Judging from all prospects the term will be the most successful in the history of the institu tion. PROHIBITION FOR ENTIRE NATION Governor Hodges Says Liquor Traf fic Will Soon Be Banished. FORMER OFFICIAL ALSO SPEAKS Tells Why He Changed Hit Con victions In Regard To Saloon. Columbus, O., Nov. 15. Predicting that a resolution prohibiting the traffic in intoxicants as beverages in the l.'nited States and all territories under its jurisdiction soon would be adopted by Congress and declaring that "if I am then Governor of Kansas I will immediately convene the Legislature in special session if necessary for the purpose of ratifying the amendment," Gov. George H. Hodges, of Kansas, tonight threw the fifteenth biennial convention of the American Anti Saloon League into an uproar of applause. Governor Hanna of North Dakota, an other speaker, gave statistics to show the prosperity of his State under "pro hibition" reign and said the "brewers' year book" showed no consumption in his State of their manufacture in 1911. The day seesion was brought to a cli max with a stirring address by former Gov. M.R.Patterson, of Tennessee, in which he gave reasons for his enlisting with the anti-saloon movement. "The Anti-Saloon League and I have not always been friends," said Mr. Pat terson. "The paths we traveled were wide apart. But the path I traveled turned in its course. It ran to the other and we now find ourselves marching in the same direction, actuated by the same desire to destroy the traffic in liquor and redeem a nation from its course. "I am neither ashamed nor abashed to stand before this great audience and ae knowledge the wrong when I once ad vocated policies which would have made legal a trade which I have come to look upon as having no rightful place in Christian civilization. Commenting on one of his own mes sages to the Tennessee Legislature in which he opposed further legislation to regulate the saloon traffic, Mr. Patter son declared that at that time those were his honest convictions based upon a misguided judgment. Continuing, he mid i "I have seen the trail of liquor in the criminal courts where I have prosecuted crime. I know and have been a parti cipant in its paralysing and corroding in fluence in the social and public life of our National Capitol. As the Governor of Tennessee I have seen it a veritable and raging center of storm around which gathered its defenders and assailants, and from which sprang divisions in par ties, disputes in families and dissen sions in churches. "Going through life I have seen it drag down many of the associates of my boy hood, blasting their hopes and consign ing them to untimely graves. I have seen its forked lightning strike any first born the child of my young manhood. At last I have felt its foul and stealthy blow as it turned upon me its deadly and shaming wrathupon me, who had pleaded before the people for its very existence. "I cast aside all pride of opinion and went to the throne of Almighty God There on bended knees I asked for light and strength and they came. "The saloon cannot produce one vera cious witness in its favor. It stands a convicted felon and must receive the sentence of the law. It must go, never to return and, with the going of the sa loon, liquor itself should go." The program of the convention calls for three sessions tomorrow, the con vention concluding its work tomorrow night. PREPARING FOR THE TEACHERS RALEIGH CITIZENS MAKING READY FOR THE IN STRUCTORS.

COTTON CROP IN CRAVEN SHORT GINNERS REPORT SHOWS THAT THERE HAS BEEN LARGE DECREASE. The ginners report for Craven county issued November 1, shows that only 1,994 bales had been ginned up to that period. On November 1, 1912, the num ber of bales ginned was 3,656. This shows that the decrease since last year is 1,662 bales. These figures prove conclusively that there has been a short crop in this section. The cotton growers have had numerous drawbacks and to those who are familiar with existing condi tions it is a source of wonder that the amount ginned up to November 1, ever reached the fifteen hundred bales mark. Perhaps the greatest cause, of the short cotton crop was the storm and flood early in September. This literally devastated many cotton fields and caused an immense lorn to the farmers.
