It it taid that the motorman on the car on which so many persons tost their lives early yesterday morning, was warned to slow down when near- ins; the railroad crossing. If this is triue then the motorman is guilty of murder and should be dealt with ac cordingly. We have not the. slightest iota of sympathy for a man who will risk the lives of others in such a man ner. The desire for speed has again end ed disastrously. Rushing back from Ocean View early yesterday morning an electric car crashed into a freight train. A number of persons were kill ed and others were seriously if not fatal ly injured. Thousands of deaths have been caused during the past few years by a desire to "hit er' up" and the fear ful toll will probably continue until more drastic laws are passed against it. New Bern bids fair to soon become one of the cleanest cities in the State There is already some talk of starting a crusade against the wharf rats which infest the city and it is probable that this Work will be started soon, but in the meantime the city health officers and the Unitary officers are doing every thins; within their power to clean up the" place. ' Each morning two men tart out on a tour of the city and they continue their trip until late in the af ternoon, 'visiting1 all of the fish houses, ' cafes; ' meat markets and making an ' inspection of many private lots. Where- ever filth Is found, the owners of the places are given warning to dean up at oncd. Within a day or two the offi cer return for another inspection and if they discover that their warning has not been deeded, a warrant is at once sworn out for the violator and he is hailed before Mayor Bangert and heavi ly' fined.' A number of persons have already been before the Mayor and other who do hot join in the crusade ia clean up -will be carried before him. In ad dition to making New Bern a ratless town it if also desired to make it fly less andsreps toward this end are to be pushed forward. THE GRADUATE UP AGAINST THE WORLD. One of the annual jokes at this time relates to the awkward efforts of the newly fledged College graduate in busi ness. It is a cold plunge for a young fellow used to being carried off the ball field on the shoulders of cheering stu dents. Quite a change to walk into an office, and wait an hour to get two min utes' curt conversation with a business man, whose name never gets into the papers. Many observers feel, that the break between college life and subsequent work Is needlessly abrupt, that a college fellow's work is unnecessarily hampered for years. Says a college professor "During college life we drop out of the current of action Into a smooth and sleepy eddy. Rather1 we are tossed by the stream in to1 a 'Sargasso sea, where the youth spends hit time' polishing the decorative brasses of'tnesHlp. One should never overlook the dis ciplinary value of study, when conduct ed in a wa'y ii develop power1. ' But most of the (act learned in any School are forgotten In five yean. The twj things that stay are the po wer to tifirtk' aitd to' do.' If a boy simply ' titt in n class room and take notes of ' lecture, he hat torn training la mem ory work, and he acquires thin var nish of culture. He also should become ' more useful citizen, because he ought ti absorb a background of the world's . experience." The theme of life ought not ttf tiecerv him quite at they fool Uteri.

Several near-accidents hive occurred tfeere ia the last few weeks, and if the automobile drivers continue to approach and cross the railroad at this crossing without thought as to whether or not a train is approach ing, it is only a matter of time when an accident will occur which will have serious results. CHARLES R. THOMAS WITH DRAWS. After conferring with many of his friends and looking at the matter from every conceivable standpoint, Hon Charles R. Thomas, erstwhile candi didate for Congresss from this, the Third District, is in this issue of the Journal making his formal withdrawal from the contest. So far as Mr. Thomas is concerned this announcemant brings to a close one of the bitterest fights ever made in this district. Starting during the latter part of last year when Mr. Thom as made it known that he would be a candidate for the office, events so trans pired, thet for purely personal reasons his political eneemiesset out the man who could best represent the district. Ordinarily there would have been but two men in the race but during the first part of the contest there were supposedly ten candidates. When the time came for puttirig up the entrance fees arrived four of these dropped out and but six were left in the fight. Working against great odds Mr. -Thomas made a remarkable fight and there is not the least doubt but that, according to the rules of the preferental primary, he was the nominee. However, his political enemies again united against him and in a so-called convention at Goldsboro, in which there was gun play and fist fights, they violared the rules of the preferental primary by nominating bv acclamation Georee E. Hood of Goldsboro. This was rank injusticeand neither Mr. Thomas nor friend would stand for it. It was believed that if the votes were counted that Mr. Thomas would be found to be the nominee and in an attempt to have this done he wenjt be fore the State Democratic Executive Committee and placed the facts be fore them, asking first for a count of the votes and as ia alternative another primary between himself and George E. Hood. The Executive Committee did not see fit- to count the votes but by a vote of twenty-four to twenty, ordered new primary. This action on thierpart, while not all that was desired, showed plainly that at least some of the members of the State Committe were in favor of giving Mr. Thomas fair and simile justice, although twenty members land right here it might be said that some of those who voted against Mr. Thomas were his political enemies cvoted a gainst it, and the matter saw thrown back to the Third District Executive Committee to frame the rules and set the date for the primary. This same district committee had been against Mr. Thomas beforehand had been antagonistic to him but it was thought, owing to the great sen timent in favor of Mr. Thomas, that they would treat him failry. On July 8, they met at Goldsboro for the pur pose of framing the rules and setting the date. The rules framed by them were over Mr. Thomas' protest and they are so unfair that he is compelled to withderaw. First the rules require a deposit of one thousand dollars as an entrance fee. Just why this enormous sum was asked for unless it is an attempt to "Freeze out" Mr. Thomas can only be imagined and the date of the pri mary was set for August 1. Mr. Thom as made protest against such a date, stating that he was fatigued from the other primary and desired time to rest before again getting in active service in the compaign field. However, his request was not heeded , in fact he had no voice in the work of the committee and when the final rules had been fram ed ant the committee adjourned, bis friends saw that he wat in the hands of 'his 'political enemies and, as they bad caused him to be deprived of the nomination dn the former occasion that they ' could, by the same methods, again deprive him of the nomination, nd tney at once urged him to with draw.. ; "."''' 'V " Mr. Thomas did not at first desire Ihis ction, thinking that he ' : t up the enormou entrance fee and go into the fight regardless of the . date for any other discrimination which had been made against him. , How ever, he finally decided to take the ad vice of his friends end withdraw and this he hat done. ' , ' -; The politicians who have fought Thomas, who 'is the logical man to represent the Jhird District in Congress ' are 'known to every cituen of the dis trict .They claim' to have the Inter est of the Democratic party st heart and have even gone so far a to say "We-re the Democratic party. ' How- ' ever;" whether "they know it or not, their work for the past six months, ha been so unfair, so biased and to anta gonistic, that htey are, not unknow- , in;!y, doing every thing within their power to t r down rather than build up the party. , Ia coadasioa, Mr. Thomas, not only personally thanks the hundreds of Democrat who so loyally stood by him in this fight, bat be ha asked the Journal to also tender to them kit sincere appreciation of their efforts. He ddea aot feel that he haa been deheted far fro ia such, and his friend should stut feel that way either. It is simply another "lost cause". He it in the right but by means, foul aad otherwise, the politicians have not ' defeated him but have caused hint to drop out of the race aad we sincerely hope that they will now rest in peace for the first time ia many months. GREATET NEW BERN Conscious of the injetimable value of an aggressive publicity campaign setting forth the industrial possibili ties, and valuable resources in, and surrounding New Bern, we purpose is suing at an early date, a special edition, to be known as the Greater New Bern Edition. That this character of publicity has demonstrated, beyond question its value above all others, its superority in exploiting the progressive spirit ex isting in communities, is evidenced in all enterprising cities. To make the undertaking a tremen bious success, and one which will re flect credit on our people, both at home and abroad and prove to be a prac tical manifestation of our unlimited financial and industrial resources, the co-operative of all interests are essen tiul. In taking hold of the Daily Journal two years ago, the present owners prom ised the people that, they would make good in inducting new ideas and pro gressive methods into the publication and thereby incresae its prestige and influence in advancing the material and moral welfare of New Bern and Craven county. That we have suc ceeded in a most flattering degree is shown in the progressive policy, the increase to double the number of pages, and the elevated tone of the paper. Now the time is propitious to put forth an enterprise of wide spread in fluence which will publish to the world the inexhaustable natural wealth and industrial .commercial and agricul tural opportunities presented to inves tors and home-seekers, in Craven county and the adjoining counties of Onslow, Jones, Carteret, Pamlico and Lenoir. These counties present untold riches to the lumber developer, to the planter of cotton, corn, grain, fruit and gar den truck. Where rotation of crops, blessed with a favorable climate the year round, makes farming most sat isfactory and profitable. We possess ad cvantages in shipping both by rail and water, which only needs the effort on our part, to reap t he immeasurable ben efits which nature and man has placed within our reach to utilize and make this section one of the most prosp erous in this vast country. We will do our utmost to exploit the inestimable possibilities of this section, and we earnestly solicit the co-operation of every financial, industrial and com mercial, as well as public and private interest in this section, to lend their heartiest endorsement to this our maid en effort, in making the Greater New Bern Edition, the most csucessful and far reaching medium for progress ever attempted in this section. MACE MANNING JAILED Charged With Attempting High way Robbery. Mack Manning, colored, was placed under arrest late last night by Captain A. L. Bryan and Policeman Dowdy on a warrany charging him with attempting highway robbert. He was placed in jail and will be held until Monday when he will be given a preliminary hearing. Tom Riley, also colored, in the al leged victim of the holdup which oc cured in Jerkins Alley. Riley claims that Manning and two other negroes set upon hi,m in the dark and went through his pockets, ' ' The police are nalcing a search for Manning's alleged' accomplices. WILSON DISAPPOINTED Her Federal Building Bill Not to be Acted Upon at Thlt ' Session. WILSON, N. C, July 18. Con siderable disappointment is felt here ov er the report from Congressman Kitchin that in all probability the. bill provid ing for a federal court in Wilson wilt not "be acted on by the present Con gress. The real cause of disappoint ment is because of the consequent de lay in the matter of a poet office bull ing, ' ' ' The site was purchased four year ago and the building was to be erected at an early date. Then came ' the agitation for Federal Court end this went on until finally the bill provid ing the court passed the senate and went to the houee where it we quietly reposed for several months. ;( In the meantime Wilson ia doing without adequate poitoffict facilities.

Two Caee oil the Docket Yeeter ; terday Afternoon. ,..., There- was only one esse disposed of by Mayor pro tern William Ellis at Police Court yesterday afternoon, this being in which Joe Seller, Colored, Wat charged with being disorderly. Judg ment was suspended upon the psyment of the cost. ' T. W. Brock, of Jacksonville, wa t visitor to the city yesterday. TO v FISH TRUST. , V RaleigB Time, J It i nore than hinted that what kaown.aa a "fish trust" with branches at Norfolk JSew Bern, and Morehead City) and the etery is going around that sometime when there is a Urge catch of fish the latter are throw away, while at the' same' time there is a great de mand for them In the interior and prices are high enough. The shipments ot fish re important this sea con of the yeeu Norfolk,' the 'etory goes is the head quarter of this "trust." Baying Davie Wheat. (From The Davie County Record.) Horn Johnstone Company paid the farmers of Davie county about $1, 200 last week for wheat, an average of 1200 a day, and wheat is not as high as it was a year ago. The Ptite Wheat Grower. (From The Davie County Record.) Grady Rich of Farm! ngton is a good farmer, in 21 acres of land he made 471 bushels of wheat. Seven acres of this land made 42 bushels to the acre So far a we have heard, Grady has the prize on wheat growing in Davie. A Short Stop. (From The Greensboro Record.) The wheat crop in this section, in common with that all over the country, is fine, but tobacco is going to be short on account of the drought last month. It is asid that the price will go up, but unfortunately for the growers in this section the general crop is alright, so that the price will hardly advance very much. Commercialize the Story. (From the Waxhaw Enterprise.) A few weeks ago when that wonder ful mink-killing story from Meck lenburg county reached this paper Mr. Archie King, junior member of The Enterprise force, decided that That Chicago Blade and Saturday Ledger might want the story. He wrote it up and sent it in. While he has not seen the story featured in that interesting publication, he last week received a check for 50 cents. 'A MILLION DOLLAR PRAYER". Cincinnatti Baptist Believe They Broke the Ruinous Drought. (Cincinnat Enquirer) The long drought which threatened the crops in the Ohio Valley has been broken by the rain and the good mem bers of the Lincoln Park Baptist Church are jubilant. 'The Rev. George Robbins, their pastor, acting as their spokesman, declares that their prayers did it. Some of them call it a million dollar prayer. The protracted dry weather had broken all records for 40 years. Yes terday's downpour, according to the reports of the Chamber of Commerce, saved the crop in the immediate neighborhood valued at more than a million dollar. . The Lincoln Park Baptists had de voted their Sunday eeryices to prayer for rain and the . answer had come within 24 hours. "It simply shows the efficacy of prayer," ay Mr. Robbins. Chatham Corn. (The Record.) The prospects for t bountiful crop is now very encouraging. Early in the spring there wa o much rain that the farmer were very backward in planting corn, and then the month of May was so dry that the corn did not have a good start, but the rains for the past month have brought it out wonderfully. The Meanest Man. (Siler City Grit.) About the meanest man alive is that man who when the opposite po litical party-i in , power, want bah crop to the end that that party, may be discredited. He I not merely a pessimist, but a piker who would push biddies In the creek:; Good ,' crop knock the prop from under the cala mity howlef ' yo AGAIN NEW BERN. (Greenboro Everything) ' v ' And after the 20th of May Myth or Reality wat threshed to a frattle; after it had been decided that Colonel Aus Watt was the man who originally truck Billy Patterson; after competent authority decided how old wat Anner nd the .Ignatiu Donnelly crytogranv failed conclusively to prove that Fran cis Bacon and William Shakespeare were one and the same now come some of the papers In this grand Old Tarhelia nd want to do away with a space and make New Bern one word. Not on your autographed edition of Hoyle on game. The dictionaries,' in their, pro nouncing .department all gree that New Bern is one word but if the folks down New Bern way want to say that they spell the name of their town "New Bern" we ay that they should have the last word. We have known men named plain John Smith to change the style of ortho gr by to Joliyne Smythe, and it el- 4' Z way seemed queer to ws but if John wanted to put it up that way it was a right John had. ,' ' - . New Bern is a live, hustling little city down. Craven county, way; k has a great many progressive citizens, aad when they all tally agreed that their letter head; their . post-office every bloomia' thing having to do with the name should be two word end should always be "New Bern" we take It that they should aot be molested. Therefore we go on record for New Bern two disfinct words, and orders are herewith issued to all compositors proof readers and stenographer to use it (hat way or not use the word at all from this repository of truth. Wantt To Locate Canning Factory. (From The Monroe Journal) Mr. R. F. Lineberger of Lakeland, Fla., spent some time with hit friend. Rev. W. T. Boger, leaving yesterday Mr. Lineberger is interested in start ing a canning plant in Monroe. He is engaged in such business in Flori da but wants to suppliment his work there with similar efforts up here some where. Time Table For Their Road. (From The North Wilkesboro Hustler.) The Watauga & Yadkin River Rail road Company has published a time ta'ile of its passenger trains, and are mailing copies to citizens. This new railroad is one of Wilkes county's great est assets, and it is with pleasure that we learn they will give a good passenger service. The Western Crop. (Fron The Lenoir News.) With seasonable rains over most parts of the country the recent dry spell which was thought to have done much damage has disappeared. In a few places the potato crop and early garden vege tables were much damaged and oats were a little short, but the main crops, wheat and corn, were never better in this part of the State. The State's'Apple Crop. (Charlotte Observer. ) The year 1913 was a poor one for the apple crop of North Carolina. The average production last year, rfor the State was 28 per cent, one of the lowest on record. The crop has been cut short by Spring frosts. This season the pros pects are very materially improved and the United States Department of Agri culture figures an average of 75 per ct. or identically the same crop the State produced in 1912. The State with the poorest prospect is Iowa, which is down to 37 per ' cent North Carolina this year averages well above the Western States. With but few exceptions it is the best apple State in the country, but Colorado leads all the country with a crop only six per cent below 100. In 1912, North Carolina was only two per cent behind Colorado. ADMIRALTY HEARING. (Wilmington Dispatch.) The case occupying the greater por tion of this morning in Federal Court was the action brought by D.McEachern and others against the owner of the tug Protectors, charging that this tug ran down their tug Topaz, and a barge laden with fish oil, last January 11th. I John D. Bellamy, Esq., represents the! plaintiff, and Robert Ruark, Esq., the j defendant, i nis case win probaDiy last through this afternoon and a portion of tomorrow morning. ROBESON COUNTY MAN GRANT- ED PARDON (Raleigh Times.) Governor Craig today granted a con ditional pardon to Wesley Hardin, con victed in" Robeson county in March, 1914, of selling whiskey and sentenced to eight month. . The reason follow: "The defendant was sentenced to n term of eight month upon the roeda I He has served more than four month.; At the time of the trial it was under stood that the sentence should be severe with the hope of deterring other, and there was an understanding between the defendant' attorney that if an appeal was not prosecuted to the Superior Court the court would recommend a pardon after the defendant had served four month. "The four month expired. Mr. Rowland, the recorder, died. . The de fendant wa convicted of selling pint of liquor, but wa not n habitual offender. Pardon i recommended by the present recorder, the 'solicitor and the Sheriff, end other cklaen." .'" ' "HAVE YOU GONE TO PRESS," (Newberry Observer.) " That is a familiar question In news paper office, and over the telephone to the editor. ' If answered in the negative, as sometime I about half past three o' clock on Monday or Thursday, then the next question is, "Can't you put this piece la?" "Thit piece it often an trtlcle $ column or two long which could as easily have been handed In two dayt be fore.
