Its a safe bet that the Govern ment officials at Washington know that New Bern is on the map in targe letters. AMAZES TOWN WITH STORY OF AN ALLEGED DRUNKEN OF FICER ARRESTING MAN.

"Neighboring counties are shipping holly in great abundance to northern aearkeU and also to western places. k is noreworthy that holly shipments from eastern North Carolina every Biristmas season go to far western points; sometimes to the Great North west. This holly will be offered for ale for Yuletide decorations and is usually in big demand." Wilming ton Dispatch. One man in this section of whom we know, has already sent more than a thousand dollars worth of holly and mislftoc to the North and continues to n;aUe larcje shipments every day When one cannot make money from the rorJucts of Eastern North Carolina, its a foregone conclusion that IBQSey is 80t to be made. SUPPRESSING NEWS. the I One of the most annoying proposi tions that a newspaper man in a medium sized city has to contend with is the frequent requests for the suppression sf certain news items. Hardly a week passes Dy Dut wnat swum Mima "(", which is of real news value, but which some one does not want to appear fa the papers and they at once rush off to the editor of the paper and re quest that he at once forget that any such thing ever happened. In nine-nine per cent, of the cases he editor would be delighted to wipe aU such knowledge from his brain. But, if he is consistent, and in defense af quill pushers, we will say that the majority of them are, he will at once refuse to accede to any such request. Newspapers are made especially for the purpose of putting the happening f a busy world before the public and the subscribers expect this then hey plank down their coin. If a murder, suicide or accident occurs, that is news f which they want to read and a news paper that does not print all the news that it can hold is not fulfilling the con science placed in it by its subscribers and advertisers. There are cases, it is true, where news is suppressed. When an editor is con vinced that the publishing of a certain article will wreck the character of some person or caused untol pain to one or more persons, he ponders long before, using it and in a few cases will not publish the story. This, also, is a violation of the trust placed in him by bis employers and the subscribers of the paper, but if the world knew the true facts they could not blame him. While it is almost impossible to get all the news, every newspaper that is run on a fair and square basis and has the interest of hs subscribers end advertisers at heart, v, ill refuse to suppress the news. Kinston, Dec. 18. William Hayes, general superintendent of the Kinston and Carolina Railroad, was burned while rescuing his son, William Hayes, Jr., aged 12, from fire, at their home on East Gordon street here. The family had just come downstairs from their bedrooms and young Hayes was stand ing before a grate when his night clothes was ignited. He attempted to run, and immediately he was enveloped in a mass of flames. The father was in the room with him and caught the frightened lad, throwing him to the floor and beating out the fire with his bare hands. The boy's nightgown was burned en tirely off, and his left leg was badly burned from the hip to the knee. Mr. Hayes' right hand was severely burned The injuries of neither are serious. Deputy Sheriff George Warters, of La Grange, tried in the municipal court in that town for being "drunk and disor derly and using profane language," was fined $5 and the costs. It was alleged that the officer used profane language while serving a capias on John Alphin. Warters and Alphin, a young man, came to blows, and the latter was bound over to court for resisting an officer. The affair created much interest in La Grange from the prominence of the principals, and drew forth caustic com ment from the local newspaper, the Sen tinel, which remarked that "the officer was insolent, abusive and often intoxi cated," and demands his removal. The Sentinel amazed the little town with the statement that "the sight of a man being arrested by an officer who is as drunk as the man he is arresting is what has been witnessed on our streets recently," a the situation. The New Bern mer chants have, for weeks, been preparing for the holiday trade and their stocks are the most elaborate and extensive ever seen in this section. The prices are right and those who do not come here to make their holiday purchase will be throwing aside an opportunity which may never occur to them again. After much discussion, both pro and ton, the citizens of Greensboro have decided that Evelyn Thaw, who was billed to appear in a theatrical at traction in that city at an early date, will not be allowed to cavort on the stage at that place. The Thaw woman a about one of the most notorious characters that we know of, and the reensboro people did just right in decideng against allowing her to con. m minute the morals of that city. Some men get awfully wrathy over what the newspapers have to say about them. Instead of running round gnashing their teeth and with that bloody look in their eyes, these men should return thinks about a dozen times a day that the newspapers don't print all they know about them. General Supt. W. A. Witt and Supt of Motive Power J. W. Sasser, of the Norfolk Southern Ry arrived in the city last night. John Howell a student at Cornell University arrived fa) the city last night to spend the holidays with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Howell. Sheriff R. B. Lane and deputy sher iff John Huff spent yesterday in Vance boro attending official business. Fred Conn, who has been attending school at Raleigh returned to the city last night to spend the holidays. R. E. Whitehurst spent yesterday in the city enroute from Washington Morehead Cky. G. L. Griffin, of Oriental, yesterday in the city. to C. W. Lane spent last night in More head City. Malcolm Howell who has been at tending school in Mercersburg, Pa., arrived in the city last night to spend the hllidays with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Howell. A DIPLOMAT. Jno. H. Jones, a student at Uni versity of N. C., arrived in city last night to spend the holidays with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Jones. The Prince of Wied is to be King of Albania, which little country will now be about as Wied as it is long. A. D. Ward left yesterday for Kenans- ville to attend to some professional matters. There is not the least probability New Bern's tax rate will be increased. In the past the city has been forced to go deeper in debt in order to meet its bills, but conditions now have chan ged and instead of losing money and getting more and more behind, every department of the city is now on a pay tag basis and there is not even the faint est possibility that there will be an increase in the tax rate. Senator Simmons may not be swathed in gold braid nor wear satin knickerbockers, but you have got to hand it to him for being a diplomat. According to report from Washington he has succeeded in appeasing all of the sandidates for the New Bern post, mastership, when the ordinary states man would have found it beyond his ability and therefore would have had a row on his hands. In this case it would have been a family row, as New Bern is the home of Senator Simmons, and a family scrap is the worst of all lor vituperation, stings and scars. Mr. Simmons his endorsed one can didate for postmaster, provided a fat job for No. 2 and the third he will furnish another position, which thus smooths a verv ruffled situation The man for New Bern's postmaster ship is said to be L. G. Daniels, and this sounds good to outsiders, as the name Daniels has been associated with New Bern liveness, progress and high standing ever since memory of present generations commenced to run and take notice of thing and folks in the fine old city of New Bern. Wilmington Dispatch. M. L. Wallnau, of Macon, Ga., arrived in the city yesterday to spend the holidays with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. Wallnau. Dr. C. W. Bilfinger left yesterday for acksonville after a few days' visit in this city. Commenting on the action of the Raleigh Police in getting rid of the negro Vagrants, the News and Observer says: "The police of Raleigh, so it is sta ted, have begun another crusade against egro vagrants, particularly negro wom en oi tne lowest type. l ne pome, it is also stated, claim that Raleigh is infested with more negro women I ill repute than any other city in North Carolina, and that the time has arrived when the crusade against them will rid Raleigh of their presence." When Mayor Albert H. Bangert assumed charge of the administration f that office in New Bern he inaugurated a crusade against the colored vagrants and with the help of the police force has succeeded in ridding the city of large part oi these human parasites Since that time there has been considerable decrease in the number of arimes committed. There are still a law vagrants here but the police will continue to make life miserable for them antil they depart for other climes. The Raleigh police are taking the right step. Let them rid the citv of his undesirable element and they will find that it will be a benefit to the place ia numerous ways. Republicans who have gajjiered a- aund the carcass of the old elephant find that it is in a bad state of decom position. The fact that they are looking around for a presidential candidate reminds us strongly of what Puck said That New Bern is a real, wide awake town is further evidenced by the fact uhat among the other events scheduled to take place here during the next few months will be two big horse races and an aviation meet. Whenever there's anything going on at all its a certainty that there's something doing here also. Superior Court judges all over the State are "popping" it to the pistol toters and well they may. When a man meanders out on the warpath with a pint of mean liquor in one hip pocket and a bulldog revolver in the other, there are nine chances in ten that he will commit some crime before he has long been on the trail. A drastic law against currying concealed weapons and the rigid enforcement of the same is the only manner in which this menace to the public can be eliminted. The editor of the La Grange Sentinel awakened the citizens of that little town ia the last edition of the Sentinel, with an editorial relative to one of the town's officers who took into custody an intoxicated man while he himself was drunk Going further, the editor af the Sentinel says that citizens of that place who attended court at Kinston last week, saw that the Clerk of the Court was "soused to the neck," and intimates that other officials ware in the same condition. Judging from such a condition, the Virginia liquor houses must be doing a rushing business is that section. "Ok, far a lonely perch upon distant, dimmy shore, if Merry Christ mas bills come in as promptly lit of yore," rhapsodizes the Wilmington Star.

Young farmers are buying land extensively in the southern and eastern sections, and the influx of buyers from outside has been much larger than ever before. Raleigh Times. Craven county is another section ia which many of the large farms are being cut up into smaller ones and are being sold to young men who wish to make farming a business. During the past week tow of these Urge tracts lave been sold at public auction in eh-aveo county and it is understood that other sales will soon be nade. The "back to the farm" movement is becoming more and more popular every day and instead of rushing off to the cjty at the first opportunity many young en are sticking to the soil where they are sure of making than enough to live on. The farmers are the back bone of the country and they should Befassisted in every possible way. The Christmas spirit is ia the air aad it is doubtful if there is a city It the State that has made more elaborate preparations for the holi days than New Bern. The mer chant have, responded to the feel fcg of buoyancy that the season creates and they have loaded the shelves aad tables and even the floor of their stores with every- that the They have bought heavily of day goods and everyone of the establishments is a veritable ts poeitioa of things that an beautiful aad sensible.

Briason spent yesterday Vanceboro. in That there arc a number of negro men in New Bern who are living with out any visible means of support the opinion of George N. Ives, one New Herns leading hsh and oyster dealers. Yesterday morning Mr. Ives pur chased a cargo of oysters which had been brought into port earlier in the day and at once went out in search of a number of men to assist in unloading the vessel and in "shucking" the bi valves. He found a number of negroes who were unemployed but only suc ceeded in getting about one-third the number which he desired. When a negro will stand around on the street corner all day long appar ently doing nothing, when there is an opportunity of making two or three dollars a day, there' a reason. The police have been making war fare against 'the "vags," and have suc ceeded in ridding the city of a large number of these human parasites, but Mr. Ives believe that the proper so lution of the problem is to enforce the vagrant law more stringently., snd make these unemployed people either get to work or leave the city.
