In his confession i lie bogus check writer said that he had intended to come to New B.ern after leaving Raleigh and take in a few hund dred dollars from the citizens of this city. Thanks to the Raleigh officials the swindler will be compelled to delay Ms visit to the city on the Neuse, aad a year or two in jail will, without any doubt, rid him of all desire to decorate the country with his "phony checks. worth the effort and again resumes the evil from which he has t -ied so hard to break away. The treatment is said to be of such a nature that it takes away from the smoker aH desire for cigarettes; builds up his nerve system and within the course ot nve or six -weeks he feels better in mind and body than he has for years. The Greensboro News of Sunday reproduced the formula prescribed for the use of those who desire to break away from the habit and this is being reprinted below. Those who desire to take this treatment should have it carefully compounded and then fol low the directions closely: "The mouth wash calls for sir ounces of silver nitrate solution, one-eighth to one-fourth of 1 pe- cent. Use as a mouth wash after each meal, not to ex ceed three days, then after breakfast onlv not more than four days. Do not swallow any of the solution. "Chew Gentian root (not the powder) whenever the desire for smoking ap pears. Gentian not is slightly tonic and an aid to the digestion. It may be used for several weeks without injury. "The diet for t.he first two weeks con sists exclusively of 0-uits, well baked cereal foods, and milk. The moderate use of nuts, well masticated, is of value. At the close of each meal use fresh, slightly acid fruits, such as peaches, pears, apples, pineapples, etc. Drink milk, buttermilk, malted milk in place of coffee, tea or cocoa. "In some special cases an entire milk diet for a few days may be beneficial, erally fair weather will prevail for several days east of the Rocky Moun tains, and probably well toward the end of the week over the eastern portion of the country and also the Southwest. Temperatures will be moder ate over the west central portions of the country and will fall to more normal conditions to the eastward, with a decided fall over the northeastern districts. Present pressure distribution indi cates the approach of another disturb ance to the far Northwest, bringing with it rains over the North Pacific States during the early days of the week, and probably local snows and rains over the extreme Northwest a day or so later. After the middle of the week these unsettled conditions will drift eastward, probably reaching through the Lake Region into the St. Lawrence Valley toward the end of the week. The northwestern disturbance will be followed by rising pressure and falling temperature, beginning by Tuesday or Wednesday over the extreme Northwest, and extending eastward to the North Atlantic States by the end of the week. There are no present indications of any very low temperatures. Over the middle and southern dis tricts west of the Rocky Mountiins generally fair weather will prevail with somewhat higher temperatures early in the week. f f -.

The phar macist does not stand in the limelight and the world paya little attention to him, save to feel that he is an adjunct of business, but he is an important personage. A physician may diagnose a case wrong and recover lost ground, but if a pharmacist makes a slip it is apt to end fatally. Not only does have to be careful in the compoundinghe Of prescriptions, but he has many in gredients to be familiar with, he has to be careful about writing directions on the label and often he has to de cipher some terrible writing, because physician, as newspaper men, write horrible hands." The Dispatch and Times are. both right in their opinions. Time and again have fatalities resulted from careless ness on the part of prescription clerks and their i ability or neglect to properly compound and label prescriptions. How ever, it is a fact worthy of mention that the Board of Examiners are much stricter now than ever before and as a resuir there are fewer fatalities. "SHOP EARLY." President Huerta seems to think that the United States is putting up a big bluff about taking a hand ip the little game he is pulling off down m Mexico. Accordingly he has announced that be will run things "just as he desires and will stand for no intervention. This decision on the part ef the "greaser" executive is in line with other foolish announcements he has recently made. President Wilson and his cabinet will think long and well before deciding to step into the Mexican wrangle with the United States troops, hut once the decision to do this is made it will mean that the whole Mexican government will be completely revolu In the death, Tuesday, of W, W.

This move time depends upon how closely the di rections are followed. THE STOCK LAW QUESTION. Mr. Editor, I should like to have a little to say about this much mooted question lionized, turned inside out and placed I of M caM (tork law for Craven county in such shape that thereafter peace ed quirt will reign supreme in that country. If all reports are true two postoffice inspectors will, this week, come to New Bern to investigate charges; oe to investigate charges against postmaster J. S. Basnight and the ether to investigate charges against R. E. Smith, night clerk in the office. This is a bad condition that should not exist in the local postoffice. While thec barges in both cases have not been made public h is understood that they are of a trivial nature and not worthy f the consideration which is being given them. While much interest is being manifested in the ultimate outcome ef these charges the public will' feel relieved when quiet once more reigns supreme around the postoffice and when -all dissension has been done away with. At the last session of the Legislature Carteret county's representative se cured the passage of an act prohibiting common carriers from delivering ship ments of whiskey in Morehead City Township. For several weeks not a drop of whiskey was delivered at the express company's office at Morehead City and the consumers of liquor were compelled to go over to Heaufort pr te Newport to receive whiskcv which they had ordered from the Virginias and other points. In some way the express company found a loop hole in the act passed by the legislature ad it is understood that the shi, stents of "boose" now being received at the Morehead City office are larger than ever before. Until there is a law prohibiting railway and express com panies from transporting whiskey, there trill be little chance to keep it out of "dry" territory. ANOTHER GREAT DISCOVERY. It has always seemed to me a mis nomer and instead of being called "stock law" it should be called no stock law. Now, I don't want anyone to think I am opposed to this law for any countv or section where it is needed. And there are some such sections. But in a part of Craven county, and especially on the north side of Neuse river, fully 0 pe- cent, of our lands are uncleared and furnish grazing for hundreds and hundreds of rittle, hogs and sheep for the greater part of the year, and in a greaf many instances the whole year. Now, to maintain pasturagejfor the stock which we now have would require almost 10 en their part was not Liken very kindly" to by the housewives of the city and through the Housewives League they began in investigation of the causes ef this inrrease in price. They discovered that there was nothing to warrant such an action on the part of the dairy men and have voted unanimously to discontinue the use of the product ef the local dairies until the price is lowered to ten cents. Where the Wilmington dairymen made an error was in not increasing the price oftheir eroduct a year or more ai0. The cost oi foodstuff has advanced but little suring the past few months and a sudden decision on their part to in crease the price of milk looks as though it is going to p-ove disastrous and that they will be forced to go back to the old price. The hustling city of Wilmington ever in New Hanover county has er ganized a cominecia! club that bids fair to be a great help to that city times as much fencing under "stockpile oi tne main ooects oi tne ciud law" a it now does to feme our fields. ! is to collect data about the citV or, in And where is the farmer, if he is worthy f ict, to establish an information bureau of the name, who does not want his"1 r prospective manuiactu- fields fenced anyway.

This announcement Created much interest all over the country and at once hundreds of users f cigarettes made application for treat tneet. Some of these have been cured, ethers are still taking the treatment The habit of smoking cigarettes it perhaps the most insiduout known to science. The majority of the Inveter ate, smokers began the habit early in youth and have stuck to it for years. Naturally their body has become per aieated with the deadly niccotine rand when the smoker decides to quit, right point blank he Lads himself VP against a proposition against which, aiae rimes out of ten, be cannot cope. The vital organs of the body, having eee saturated with nicotine for such a long time, cannot stand the sudden cessation from the drug and of course rebel. The smoker becoasat irritable, he cannot sleep aad during the short saatchea of repose which lie manages to secure, even hit brain refuses to rest and through hit mind there flickers d.-eams in which the victim imagines himself at smoking. On awakening there rem dot that old desire for just oae puff on a cigarette. Pew men can stand the strain and la aeventy ive per cent, of the eases the habit overrule the determination to quit aad the smoker finally decide that the result mt fitting the habit are not all the cattle to be seen. A few hogs now and then and not a sheep. If these claims were true why do numbers and numbers of hog buyert come outcf stock law territory into our section and buy hundreds every year? Ask your local meat dealers what propor tion of their meats they get off the open range and what from stock law territories. Now, as to the prices we get for our scrub stock, I can say the farmer is pretty well sitisfied to get 10 cents for beef which only cost him 3 or 4 cents and sometimes nothing And 12 cents for pork is not bad. It is certainly more satsfactory when we have it to tell than to read of much higher prices and no stock. I imagine the folks who b.iy these meats now are a little more than satisfied at the prices. Talk about having stock law in preference to fencing Craven county. The profit from the stock raised on the range in our country would build all the fence necessary and leave a big surplus every year. The fencing would be a matter of small consequence any way. The north side of Neuse river is already fenced from Lenoir by the river. Then a part of Craven which borders Lenoir is now stock law and already fenced. Jones, has not voted stock law yet and no need to build any fence round it until it doet. But if we had to do so it would be a good investment. Establish stork law in our county and generations yet unborn, would ot live to see as much stock as we now have. You can make a man quit raising stock by legislating, but you cannot make him go at it again. At least very few, if any, are raising stock for market in any Mock law section that I know. D. P.

C. tendency of property owners to make an increase is soon as they disvocer that some stranger desires to purrhise This plan is a creditable one and the new Commercial Club will, without any doubt, be i'ound to be one of the best investments the people of that city ever made. WEEKLY WEATHER PORECAST. k,yl 5 Generally Pair Weather Will ail. Pre- A contributor to the American Issue, the official organ of the Anti-Saloon League, is of the opinion tint the coun try would be much better off if it could get rid of the liquor manufacturers by putting them out of business and giving them a pension to live on He says: "No public adv intage whatever ac crues from the existence of the liquor traffic. The national revenue from the liquor traffic is simply an indication of the extent of sicial waste and social poverty which is caused by that traffic A nation which had no drink traffic would have no difficulty in finding all (hat was necessary to meet itt legitimate expenditure. And it would do that, not by destruction of wealth for the liquo- traffic doet not pro duce wealth. It destroys wealth in order to manufacture piuperism, crime, disease, lunacy, poverty and death. The country would be infinite ly better off If it kept in pensioned idleness all those who are employed in the liquor traffic." This is true in one sense of the word, but what's the use of pentioning them. The proper course to pursue would be for the government to put a stop to the manufacture and tale of liquor by attaching a heavy penalty thereto. The idea of pentioning those who handle liquor is all both. Let 'them get out and scratch around for a living like thousands of their victims are doing. Only a few weeks remain before Christmas. Already havea number of the merchants of New Bern placed on display their stock of Jholidaywares and the public is afforded an opportun ity of shopping early. The "shop early" slogan is an old one, but is still opportune and should be put into effect. The following,' from the Ladies' Home Journal, is very suggestive: '"Twas the night before ChrisUnas, when all in the shop, Not a salesgirl nor wrapper but thought she would drop; The cash children rushed with the money with care, With wan faces strained, hither, thi ther they fled, While visions of reprimands flashed through each head, At an hour when riclr children were tied with nightcaps. And settling themselves for their long winter naps, From tables and counters arose such a clatter Some terrible tragedy must be the matter , The lights from the shining bulbs, white in their glow, Gave luster of midday to objects below. A salesgirl was selling small gifts. Like a flash She tore open boxes and counted out cash, v When what to my wondering ears should resound, But a shrewish abuse you could hear aisles around. From a woman, well gowned, who came just to kick, I knew in a minute she was 'the Old Nick.' She was dressed all in fur from her feet to her head, And a comfortable feeling of opulence shed. More ripid than reindeer, reproaches they came, . As she scolded and called the poor gi a harsh name. 'How stupid! Yo i vixen! Don't dare answer back! I'll report you at once for being so slack. Mv gifts never came. Now where can they be? How such things can happen I really can't see!' And giving a nod, up the store aisle she sailed. Full of wrath that her own 'Merry Christmas' had failed. The salesgirl so pale went straight to her work, For dozens of buyers forbade her to shirk. Hours md hours played the drama, long after she'd gone, Delivery boys, women, cash girls strug gled on. In hundreds of stores, in many a city, This spells 'Merry Christmas' Oh! good people, pity!" whose Hnd, this year, produced three I bales of long staple cotton per acre, thus we see that the toil of Samspon will incisure 'up to the average of? other counties In the old North State. Not only has Sampson been looked upon by many as being in the rear from an agricultural standpoint but also from an educttional point Salemburg is a small villagewith about 400 population, located in the above- named county, and is the Home of Pineland School for Girls. Pineland School for Girl is housed perhaps, in the most costly and conve nient private school building in the Mate. lhe building con tains dormitories, class tooms, parlors, kitchen and dining-room, all under one roof. It has its' own lighting plant, water connection and steam heat through out the building, making it second to none in the State. It is truly a monument to the thrift and energy as well as the good sense and intelligent taste of the community. It was the writer's privilege to assist Rev. W. J. Jones, pastor of the Biptist church, and also principal of Pineland School for Girls, in a 10 days' revival meeting, and is not only in position to speak of Sampson from an agri cultural and educational point of view, but also from a religious viewpoint. Never before has the writer seen such congregations at any country church as attended the recent revival held 'at Salemburg. While many look upon our houses of commerce and banking institutions as being of great value, everyone will agree that the most important assets that can grace any community is its churches and its schools.
