M fSUJk I New Bern can boast of the fact commanding beauty of feature with that she has but few "knockers," and that fully ninety-nine per cent of her citizens are "boosters." his accounts for its continued advancement toward the goal of the largest city in the State.

Publishes in Tws Sections, ertrj 'tfsafar ail Friday at No 4t Pallas On the heels of numerous other sensational disclosures made dur ing the past few weeks comes the following from the editorial col mns of the Greensboro News: "The International Anti-Vivi section and Animal Protection wngress, in session in Washing ton, was told that Dr. Karl von Ruck, of Asheville, has acknow ledge having used 338 children J62 of them from the Baptist rphanage, at Thomasville, fur aished by "courtesy" of the house physician there, to experiment pon. Mr. Stephens, of Phila sJelphia, went on to inform the Congress that "the obituary" of von Buck's experinents also will fee the obituary of any children upon whom he and his associates experimented. "Of the millions of people who read that story, a good many will be horrified. Mr. Stephens whoever he is, is but an incom plete witness. He should have gone on to tell that among the flhildren under 'experiment' was the doctor's grandchild. The seeming monstrosity of this fact is somewhat modified by the cir cumstances that exhaustive ex periment upon quadrupeds had demonstrated that it would not injure the grandchild or any other person. He should have added that Dr. von Ruck 'admits' that these children have been immun ized from tuberculosis. He should have set forth that the orphan age children are close to the IfLt heart of a great church, and that the 'experimentation' was under the best advice obtainable by the church; that the work was begun several years ago, and the children are still apparently healthful, es pecially at meal time, and happy as children go. "We have a notion that the eruptions of the vivi-sectionists are about of equal value and veracity. If the charges against the Ashe ville physician are true, and we suppose that they are, it seems to us that it is time to call a halt. When innocent children who re unable to care for themselves and who are alone in the world, re taken and "butchered" by some surgeon for "experimental purposes" the world sits up and takes notice. There are societies for the protection of animals and a society for the prevention of cruelty to orphan children would do a flourishing business' in North Carolina. WRAPPED GIFT IN J RED CROSS SEALS. fh A big-hearted purchaser of Red Seals in a Southern City recent- y complained because the seals did notcome in sheets larger than 100. He had prepared a Christ mas package and had conceived the idea that he wrap it entirely in Christmas seals. As the present was bulky, the sheets of 100 seals was not sufficiently large. He solved this problem, however, by pasting several sheets of seals on a large picece of wsrapping paper in which he enclosed the gift. grace of carriage. The last months of life which ended on December 1, 1913, were passed in bodily pain which he bore with great patience. He said to his brother James W. 'Biddle: "I am both ready and willing to go." What a happy passing away! What a sweet comfort to those left behind! He was buried in the dear old country grave yard, within light of the home where his happy childhood wa passed. The oaks around his grave are filled with grey moss that sighs gently as the wind whistles through them. He rests beside the sacred dust of five generations of his ancestors awaiting the summons of the final call. It is not death to die To leave this weary world, And into the brotherhood on high To be at home with God, A FRIEND. N. M. Lancaster, el Vanceboro.j arrived in the city last night. JJL m J. H.

How many people who arc in the habit of rushing glibly into the count ing room of the average newspaper and yelling at the clerk behind the counter, "gimme a paper," receiving the aforementioned copy of the pub lication and rushing out with it sometimes without even the formali ty of a "thank ye" would think of rushing into their favorite drug store and asking for a glass of soda r to their accustomed cigar stand nd asking for a cigar, taking leave t the place without even offering to pay for it. Yet the principle and the act are ne and the same. It costs money to print a paper the first cosr is even as much or more than the cigar or the glass of soda and the newspaper has only two things to sellcopies of the publication at a mere nominal fig- are and advertising space. Yet, the paper mendicant is the first person o charge the newspaper with down right penury if the "free gratis" copy f the publication one of only two sources of the paper's revenue, is not handed out with a smile and a thank you for the favor of giving the paper away. The one copy that you or I night ask for is a mere bagatelle, but when it is known that many people drop in during the course of i day for a copy of a "gratis paper some of them habitually and that the paper always has to print an ex tra number of copies to accommodate the "free list," the aggregate is some thing large in the course of a year Why should the paper be required to give away its merchandise any more than the drug store proprietor his soda or his pills or the cigar dealer his "Havanas"? They are one and the same and simply don't ask it Of course in the case of a subscriber ho, for any reason has missed his paper, the case is different. The pub lishcr is always willing to supply the deficiency in his service. But to the dead-beat, never! American Pub lisher. Wilnington Star. Urging sanitation for girls and boys ia the schools, the Wilmington Star says: "Sanitation is vitally important in Schools where the rising generation f a community is gathered and be comes subject to conditions in the schools, whether they are good or bad. if the sanitation is bad the chil dren of a community become the vic tims of the schools instead of their beneficiaries in every sense that in volves their health as well as the training of their minds. Too great re cannot be exercised over the health of school children, hence the rules of sanitation should be as right as rules of discipline." Sanitation in the schools is among the many other things of which New Bern can boast. The greatest care Is paid to this detail of our public schools and as a result the health conditions could not be improved spon. J. J. Tolson, Jr., went to Goldsboro yesterday to attend to some contracts. A lew men in this country think "Roosevelt is the man that does what ever he wills to do." Not quite that he hasn't done yet, but he has never tried to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. This shows that there are some things he won't even try to do. The Colonel's- intinate friends are noticing also that he is not attempting to straighten out the tangle in the New Bern postoffice Once again Teddy shows that he does not go up against a knotty proposition. Over in Nebraska a few days ago some crank turned loose his artillery on an editor who had offended him. Strange to say the scribe happened to have a silver dollar in his pocket and the bullet from the would-be assassin struck the coin and glanced off without inflicting any serious in jury. No such luck could happen to the majority of North Carolina editors on account of the fact that there would be no "simdeon " ockts T. J. Mitchell, Jr.. left yesterday for Morehead City for a few days' stay. D. M. Stanton returned to the city yesterday from La Grange after a few days' visit. Hill Humphrey, of Jacksonville, ar rived in the chy yesterday for a visit of several days. T. A. UzzeU returned yeste.-day for a visit ia New York City. Dr. R. G. Daniels, of Swaaaboro, was among the professional visitors he.-e yesterday. Carroll Rodney spent yesterday at Maysville attending to business mat ters. The National Boa-d of Censorship of 'the motion picture industry has just let slip by it a picture entitled The Traffic in Souls." This picture Ifas for its plot the manoeuvres of the white slavers and is said to be about as suggestive as it could possibly be. There is not the slightest doubt but that several millions of morbid people will flock to see this particular "movie." Board of Censorship will not let a pic ture of a murder or suicide get by them, but will allow such a monstrosity as "The Traffic in Souls" to glide peace fully on its way over the world. Oh, consistency, thou art a jewel. T. L Barnes a former resident of this city arrived in the city yesterday for a few days' visit. We have been looking for that old joke about a husband giving his wife a box of cigars and in return receiving a hundred dollar muff for a Christmas present, to appear in the columns of some of our exchanges. Perhaps the storv has become too old to travel around. The better element of the colored population of New Bern are making a vigorous fight against the practice of some of the women of that race in "lugging" whiskey through the streets' The movement was started several weeks ago and has already resulted in much good and if continued will, without any doubt, result in the abolishment of the practice. "The Times has received an in vitation to .it i (-in I the annual ban quet of the New Bern Chamber of Commerce on the evening of December 30th. There are few sections in the South that have greater possibilities than Eastern North Carolina, and a live chamber of commerce, such as New Bern has, is what is needed to bring any section to the front." Ra leigh Times. New Bern's Chamber of Commerce is a live wire and has done much for New Bern and vicinity in past years The organization is composed of men who do things and there is little wonder that it is one of the prime factors ia the development of the city. Over in Raleigh the executive heads f the Chamber of Commerce are interesting the boys of the city ia the work of that organization. Com menting on this the Newj and Observer says: "The Chamber of Commerce man agers are wise in getting the boys of Raleigh interested in the work of the Chamber. Boyish enthusiasm is one of the very finest and most effective forces at all. It it glorious in itself and then just think how it will serve to make old Lazybones i n the member ship of the Chamber of Commerce get up and bestir himself." We have never yet seen a movement started by the youngsters which did not pan out satisfactorily and we believe it would be a good move on the part of i he New Bern Chamber of Commerce to interest the younger generation in their work. The younger members could have a department of their own under the supervision of some capable person and there is not the slightest doubt but that they would keep the older members on the jump to keep pace with them.

John Biddle was born at the old Colonial home of his father at Fort Barnwell, Craven county, North Caro lina, on the 31st day of March, 1849, being in his 65th year at the time of his death. His father. Cot. Samuel Simpson Biddle and Mary Powell, his wife, were the owners of this beautiful coun try place and dispensed hospitality with a lavish hand. No man was ever a more affectionate husband, a kinder or more indulgent father, he counted bis own pleasures at nothing so he could gratify bis family. He left a wife who has been his devoted companion for forty-three years, seldom indeed have there been a more congenial couple. Mr. Biddle left seven children hit oldest "ton Samuel Utaparm died eleven years ago and' bis name is the first called when the "Lodge of Sorrow" holds Its annual meeting.
