THE STUDY OF WORDS. It's a Helpful Scheme to Use Your Dic tionary Every Day. Writing an article, "Treasure In Books," In the Woman's Home Com panion, I.aura Spencer Portor gives the following excellent advice about the advantages to be gaiucd from the study of words: "The study of words-It may sound , to you a dry thing, yet I promise you It Is not; very fur from It. "And this brings me to suggest that the habit of oue of the great writers of studying carefully from a pood diction ary five words each day Is one from which we might all of us get a good deal of profit. Or take a good book of synonyms, for Instance, ana learn from It each day five words somewhat simi lar, comparing and weighing carefully the meanings and values of them. "Notice the degrees of force In the following: To dislike, to bate, to loathe. to detest, to abhor. Each note struck Is a little stronger, higher, we might say, like an ascending crescendo scale. So to Instruct, to teach, to educate, are each quite different In meaning, with a great nicety of difference. So, re buke, reprimand, censure, blame, are all of one color, but of bow different shades of meaning. So. too, misfor tune, calamity, disaster; so, weak. feeble, decrepit, and what delicate dif ference between fame and renown or feminine and womanly and woman ish." Kindness of the Boss.

"Thank you very much, sir." grate fully responded Tommy, freezing fast to the coin. "That's what I call being some good to a poor kid." "Don't think that I'm being good to you," was the quick rejoinder of the boss. "1 want you to learn a new tune. I can't stand the one you've been whistling for two months any longer. " Kxcba nge.

Dani.ls, Judge Pie siding: We, your Grand Jury, lug leave t make the following report. We have passed on twenty-right bills of Indictment, with the fillowiag re sults: We found twenty-four True Bills, and four not True Bills. We visited the office of the Register of Deeds, and found the records neatly kept, and in a business-like manner. The office has a v ery neat and clean appear ance. We visited the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court and found all the records kept in a business-like way as far as the facilities of the ofiice willf er ni it, as his office is inadequate for his work. Wt visited the Sheriff's office, and found everything in a good condition, and the books kept in a neat manner. Wc understand that in some of the County's offices, at times, profane lan guage is used. We would recommend that this be stopped at once. We visited the County Jail, and made a thorough investigation. We found it kept in a good and sanitry condition, and the pris ners treated in a humane way. We found one ol the prisoners, Sam Brown, in a bad condition, physi cally, and recommend that he be par doned. We visited the County Home, and made a thorough investigation of the affairs of this institution, and find the dwelling in good condition, the pre mises well kept, and tht inmates care fully and kindly looked after and fed. We com nend Mrs. Williams, the keeper, for her untireing efforts in making and keeping this institution for our poor, second to none in the State. We visited the Convict Camps, and found twenty-jeven convicts. We learn that they are well fed. We carefully examined their sleeping quarters and found them very dirty, and in an un sanitary condition. We found pieces of bread and meat lying around, and ol cans and rags, under the bunks. The floor1 was dirty, and the mattresses were ! !-- f!i.t l:.; I badly torn. We recommend that this condition be mad sanitary at once. y Wt find that otic way of punishment If whipping, an that soma of the pris oners say that tbey have been cruelly whipped. We recommend that if pun khmentlbecotnes necessary, that it be I done in humane manner. ' We find, after Inspecting the roads and bridges that most of then! art in a 'tlimmtni that tht crossing' of the A. C L, Railroad, just beyond pbent, be reported to the Railroad. officials, and that it be fixed at once, a it is dangrrou as it U, at the pmrat time. We also recommend that some thing be done on the Fowler Road, a it is almost impassible now . We have examined the report of R. B. Lane, J P., and find same correct. We have taken into serious considera tion, the nutter of enlarging the Court House, which has been agitated by several prevous Grand Juries, and find, that to enlarge the Court House, as recommended by these bodies, it would put the County to an excnse of alxiut Forty or fifty Thousand Dollars ($40, 00000) or ($50,000.00) whereas, (here could be certain alterations and changes made in the Court House, as it is at the present time, which would answer the same purpose as building and ad dition, and at tinissanie time not cost the countv an ex pendii ure of over Ten Thousand ($10,000.00) Dollars. We therefore rtvonmicnd that the follouiuc. i hanges be made. That the present offices of the Regis ter of Deeds, and the Clerk of the Su perior Court, be converted into fire proof vaults, and fix the new vaults with sieel casfs, make the ami room on the -outh side of the Register of Deeds' office into a private office, for the Reg ister ol Deeds, and make the hall on the South side of the Clerk's office, into a private office for the Clerk of the Court, niakr a r"oni in the basement, on each side of the building, 20 fret by 40 feet, with com ret e floors, for waiting rooms, toilets and lavilory, for white women, and white men, respectively, and make an entrance to these rooms underneath the stairway on each side of the hall: the present toilets in the .ud to be used by colored people. We believe that the ab'iw changes and alterations will answer in cverv way the same purpose as eiil.irgenu nt ol the Court House, and at t h same time save the County al t Forty Thousand ($40,000.00 Dollars. We recommend that the above (hail ges and alterations be made as soon as pract icable. We also recommend that a new Hag lie placed on top of the Court House. Respectfully, K. I . V.dlaid, Foreman. T.

Evans denies his guilt, but he was re quired to remain after the others had been dismissed for the day. To-day when Evans again appeared in the Classroom the quarrel with Nyhart was renewed and teachers and pupil were prejently rolling on the floor in combat. When.

CHARLES Children Oiy fOR FLCTCHrR'S CA9TORIA Sufficient Reasons Why The SolicHorsbip Should Be Given Pamlico County at This Time First: We offer a candidate thoroughly qualified in every particular, and well fitted for this position Second: Craven, Carteret, Jones, Greene and Pitt, the other five counties constituting our Judicial District, have one or the other, been repeatedly re presented, on either the State Congressional or Judicial ticket. Pamlico, the only county in the district, which has never received the hon or of this representation, now present to the district the Hon. Z. V.

We insist that we are entitled to recognition and that we should at this time be re presented on the judicial ticket; reposing special confidence in the integrity and fairness of the Democracy, of the to ask and expect the support and influence sufficient for the nomination of our andidate. It would aparently be, in asking favors of others and never be willing to give a favor in return. Pamlico county has for more than for the cause of Democracy, and aided 1 Judges and Solicitors from oth .-r counties of our Judicial District, but state fficers, congressmen, and I'nited States Senators, have also sought and recei ved our support.

THE TAMPICO INCIDENT Badger And Mayo Had Orders From Navy Department To Leave Vera Cruz. (Special to the Journal) VKKA CRl'Z, May 12. The official statement made by Secretary of the Navy Daniels, answering the com plaints i critics of the action of the depart nent in removing the warships from Tampiro by throwing the re sponsibility on Rear Admirals Badger and Mayo, has just reached here, and has caused the greatest astonishment among people who arc aware of all the circumstances. It is an undeniable fact that the secretary of jhe navy himself ordered the withdrawal of Rear Admiral Ma vo's ships with the exception of the cruiser Des Moines, from Tampico. The vessels were all ordered to Vera Cruz except the Des Moines, which was instructed to withdraw outside the harbor of Tampico. This was on April 20th. Rear Admiral Mayo was astonished at receiving the order. He did not believe that this withdrawal was in tended, and the order was not obeyed until he had received confirmation of the dispatch from the navy depart ment. At this ti ne Rear Admiral Badger was bevond wirclejs commnication with Rear Admiral Mayo, and knew nothing of the withdrawal of the ves sels from Tampico until it had been accomplished. For that reason he had nothing to do with it, and did not ap prove of the order from Washington.- Rcar Admiral Badger appeared to be astonished today .when informed the apparent effort of the Wash ington authorities to blame himself and Rear Admiral Mayo (or what the refugees have been denouncing as the Tampico crime.

COPPAGE. First. He will rcprecnt the people of the whole county and not any one particular part of county or person. Second. He is the only candidate at liberty to work all measures against the NO FENCE LAW and he is a b.diever in more stock and better stock. Both his opponents are under obliga tions to pass a law so the whole county including New Bern ran vote for NO FENCE LAW. He has a way of de feating the whole thing if it can be worked and it can. Listen! One of his opponents is backed by one of the. largest land owners in the county and he wants NO FENCE LAW. The same one has working for him the man who once represented u and passed a law to sell and take every man's land that was behind with his taxes. Will this make you take notice? And as for his other opponent Why he joined hands with a man that he has always fought (who is president of a railroad and large lumber company) and carry around to work and make speeches for him? What have they up their .sleeves? Enough said, LOOK OUT. One of his opponents has been hon ored by being sent to the Legislature and he said he had enough but you aee he is running again. The other has been county commissioner for twleve years, a more honored posi tion. Third.. If sent to the legislature he will work for his people as a whole and not what he personally want. The speaker of the house will go from Kioston and will work in unity with him who wants many good things for his people. Among them is free scolarshipa for a hundred boys and girls to our Farm Life School, which he has a way to work for same.
