Tamprroy m- the last day that this matter may be attended to and ao cbaacea abxMtld be taken,. See your registrar tomorrow, Mr. Voter, and ascertain whether' you arc rightly regist ered. The Fayetteville Observer yesterday issued a "Progress Edition" which is a credit to that city and the management of the Observer and the latter deserve much credit for their progressiveness. The weather forecast for next week says that Eastern North Carolina will have fair weather. Let us hope that it will be (Fair) weather in every sense of the word. A call has been made for the para graphers to meet in Charlotte. We hardly think that Cowan will be able to attend for the simple reason that he wouldn't know how Far-a-bee from home. However, as Thoupsou is tak ing an especial interest in the war he would doubtless attend if Brit-tan agrees to show up. As for us, we won't go unless we can raise Caine. BOOKS ARE WANTED. There is no place where a good book is more appreciated than at the State Sanatorium for the Treatment of Tuberculosis. There the patients have nothing to do but to get well and every thing bringing cheer, a new vision or an uplifting thought into their lives is a direct aid in the process. To those who are not confined to their beds, reading is a wholesome entertainment and speeds many a heavyfooted moment on Some of the patients learn there to read for their first time, and eagerly take this opportunity to learn to read and write while they gain in weight an strength. A good library at the Sanatorium would in no wise fail in the true mission of a library. Its educative, entertain ing and inspiring offices would be en tered into and appreciated. As a source of comfort, hope and lightits influence would be as the wideness of the sea. This need of the Sanatorium opens up a splendid opportunity to indivi duals, societies, clubs, orders and other organizations to make donations either in books, magazines, daily and weekly papers, or in other equipment for a good up-to-date reading room. Those having good books of fiction, of verse biography or copies of the standard writers, that they have read, might as well pack them up and send to the Sanatorium instead of packing them away to become dust eaten and mouldy for lack of use and with age. Books have their seasons like other things Don't wait till they have lost their savor and have become stale to send them. Let theirs be timely messages. Says the Washington News: Mr and Mrs. Gordon Hackett of North Wilkesboro; Judge Henry R. Bryan of New Bern; Mr. William B. Grimes of Raleigh, N. C, are-in the city and at tended the funeral of the late Colonel Altson Grimes at St. Peter's Episcopal church this morning at 11:30 and also the interment at Grimesland. Commenting on the Journal's assert ion that it "is quite a common sight in North Carolina to see farmers drive to the harvest field in an automobile," the Richmond Virginian says: "And yet they want us to Buy-a-Bale." Why certainly we want them to buy-a-bale. Couldn't get the autos unless we sold a few. Saya the Wilmington Dispatch: We acknowledge an invitation to attend the Eastern Carolina Fair, at New Bern next week, an event in which we take peculiar pride because it is of value to the entire eastern section of the State, as well as to New Bern and Craven county. The promoters of the Fair deserve high commendation for the energetic and able manner in which they have pushed the Fair Association to a sue cessful culmination. As long as they are having "cotton goods week," "coffee week", "potato week , and numerous other weeks, why o t , n a v "newspaper week", and during that period let there' be a concerted move ment pa the part of the peopls to sub scribe to the newspapers.

Can you beat it.? The man who asserts that emergency taxation is unnecessary that imports are normal at a time when the prin cipal nations of the world are unable tq export anything ought to be sub jected to examination by a commission of inquiry to ascertain whether he's a fool, or a liar, or both. This para graph has all the force of moderate statement. Registered yet? If not, just remem ber that if you do not attend to it to- dav vou cannot cast a ballot in the election to be held on November 3. Mr. Democratic Voter, don't forget this important matter. The passenger department of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway Company has just issued a handsome thirty-two page booklet advertising the resources aad advantages of Eastern North Caro lina and urging farmers to come to this section. New Bern conies in for a two page write-up, illustrated, in the book and her advantages, resources, etc., show up well with those of other cities mentioned. ONE OF THE BEST (Morehead City Coaster ) The special edition of the New Bern Journal came to us last Sunday. It was easily one of the best "booster editions" of any paper we have ever seen. East ern North Carolina, and particularly New Bern, will no doubt reap much ben efit from the wide circulation given this splendid advertismenet of this section. FINE EDITION (FroTi Raleigh Times) The two New Bern papers, the Journ al and Sun, have recently issued fine editions, the Journal a fine dreanter New Bern numbre and the Sun a splen did magazine feature advertising the Fair. LIKED JOURNALS SPECIAL EDI TION. (From Mebane Leader.) The people of New Bern and vicinity are looking forward with much interest to their fair which begins Tuesday, October 27th. Down at the junction of Neuse and Trent River the local city in which they propose to hold this fair is happily situated. The people take hold of fairs down there with tre mendous vim, and usually bring them to the highest pitch of merritt. The E. J. Land Printing Company of New Bern have gotten out a most creditable edition for the fair. Those who can go to New Bern to attend this fair wil find they will get the worth of thei money. ED A CREDIT TO NEW BERN (Fayetteville Index) The New Bern Journal is out in a 32-page edition which is a credit to the Journal and the city of New Bern. WELCOME TO NEW BERN Visitors to the Eastern Carolina Fair which will be held in New Bern this week have already begun, to arrive and several hundred of them will be in the city by tomorrow night. In behalf of the city, the Journal extends to each and everyone of these a hearty welcome to the best town in the State and urges them to enojy to the fullest extent their visit. The Journal office will be open to the visitors every hour in the day and night during the entire week and they are extended an invitation to make it their headquarters while here. At all times one or more members of the office force will be on hand to give any information which may be desired and will gladly do so. We sincerely, hope that Thompson of the Star and Cowan of the Disptach, also other members of the Paragraphers Union, will be with us this week. A visit to the Eastern Carolina Fair will gej "the bunch" in trim for the conven tion which the quill pushers are soon to hold In Charlotte. ;'.

' Several days sgo tha Jourmal repriatsd a combioatios) editorial from the States ville Landmark aad the Greensboro Everything that had whole lot to say about the open violation of the pro hibitioa law in Eastera North Caro lina. The opening remarks ia this editorial were made by the former paper aad the editor of the Greensboro Everything appended his comment on the situation. .Believing, and ia fact knowing, that no violations of the prohibition law were going on down ia this part of the State, the Journal called upon the Statesville Landmark to name the places where these violations were being perpetrated. In the last issue of the Landmark the editor makes the following statement: "The only 'report circulated by the Statesville Landmark' about illicit dis tilleries in eastern North Carolina was comment about the brandy distilleries in Nash county, which as a matter of common knowledge, have been run in open and notorious violation of State law. The authority for this statement is Mr. W. Thomas Bost, the Raleigh correspondent of the Greensboro News." As Nash county is not by any means in the eastern part of North Carolina, but in fact is more in the central, we presume that the editor of the Land mark slipped up on his geographical location and we accept his apology for giving circulation to an errorneous rumor. FEDERAL COURT Will Convene In This City Next Tuesday The October term of Federal Court will convene Tuesday morning with Judge Henry G. Connor of Wilson pre siding. The first part of the one week term will be for the disposition of crim inal cases after which the civil docket will be taken up. Although there are not very many criminal cases quite a large docket of criminal actions have accumulated, and it is not expected that all of the latter cases will be disposed of at this session. Mrs. H. E. Howell, of Norfolk arrived in the city yesterday to visit her mother Mrs. Ella Howell. German Cruiser Sunk 13 of the British Boats This is the Record of the Karlsruhe In Her Cruise Through the Waters of the Atlantic Ocean THE SHIP WATCHING FOR ENGLISH VESSELS At One Time She Was Engaged In A Running Fight With the Suffolk and Bristol LONDON, Oct. 23 The news of the German cruiser Karlsruhe's exploit in destroying British merchant ships in the Atlantic according to the Daily Mail's Teneriff corespondent, was brought to that port by the German steamer Crefeld, which arrived with the crew of the British steamers Strathroy, Maplebranch, Highland Hope, Indrani, Rio Iguasua, Farn, Niceto, Maria de Larrinaga, Cervantes, Cornish City Pruth, Condor and Lynrowan, all of which were sunk by the Karlsruhe. The Crefeld was accompanied into port by the German steamer Patagonia, Rio Negro and Asuncion. A later message states that over 400 men of the crew are prisoners and that the merchantmen were mostly sunk in the Atlantic. The ships were mostly engaged in the South American trade and their total tonnage is about 60,000. The cruiser Karlsruhe, a ship of trifle less than 5,000 tons, has had in this war a career as eventful in the Atlantic as that of her smaller sister ship, the Emden in the Indian Ocean. The Karlsruhe first came into no tice at the outbreak of the war when she appeared in the vicinity of Sandy Hook apparently in wait for British merchantmen leaving New York, For a few days the British shipping hug ged their piers and then came news that the Karlsruhe had been driven away by the approach of several British cruisers. On August 9 the Karlsruhe appeared in the harbor of San Juan, Porto Rico, where she coaled and then again took to the seas. Soon after it was learned that the Karlsruhe had been in a sensational running fight at sea with the British cruisers Suffolk and Bristol. It appears that the British cruisers came unexpectedly upon the Karls ruhe while she Was coaling from, the German steamer Kron Print Wilhelm. Tht cruisers engaged in a running fight while the Kron Print Wilhelm, through herl superior speed, easily . escaped. Th Karlsruhe also eluded her pursuers anq" aa unconfirmed report had it that she had damaged tbeBristo! in this fight : Since then the Karlsruhe ha ap peared In several West Indian porta for coal after preying in various southern seas on British commerce. An official statement given out hi Berlin on Octo ber; i said she had sunk seven British steamers in the Atlantic. ' The Karlsruhe is a comparatively new ship, having gone Into commis sion early in 1913. She is very fast, having a speed of 27 knot an hour which has enabled hef thus far to tircemfully elude the persistent British pursuit. Her main armament ronsinls of t welve 5.1 Inch gum In I rarr i General Zapata Will Attend WILL GO IN PERSON TO TBI M KITING AT AGUAS CALL ENTES THIS WEI K. Mexico Gty, Oct over 22. General Zapata will go in person to the peace convention at Aguas Calieatea. He is to reach there late this week and all action oa formation of provisional government will be suspended until his arrival. Many protests are being (led against alleged outrages by Villa's soldiers, who are said to be holding up delegates and at the point of the pistol demandiag that they shout "Long Live Villa." It is declared that generals, too, have been accosted in this manner. A protest also has beea made that the neutrality of the convention is be ing violated by the presence of 15,000 Villa troops within an hour's lde of Aguas Callientes. They were brought up from Zacatecas. The delegates claim the city ia in a State of seige. A resolution 'was passed today for bidding recruiting on either side while the peace conference is in session. Britisher Held-up By Revenue Cutter TRIED TO PASS SENECA WITH OUT RECEIVING PERMIS SION BY SIGNAL NEW YORK, Oct. 23 The Revenue cutter Seneca today ordered the British steamer River Delaware to return to the harbor after the steamer had started for the Mediterranean ports. The Seneca was on duty at Quaran tine and according to her cpatin'the ship tried to pass out without receiv ing permission by signal. A launch carrying a detachment of the Seneca's men overhauled the Briton in the narrows. Her captain and pilot were taken aboard the Seneca and re tained, pending instructions from the Brooklyn navy yard. If was assumed at Quarantine that the River Delaware had, in the opinion of the Seneca's captain, failed to com ply with customs regulations. Accord ing to custoifls officials the River Dela ware received her clearance papers Wednesday. PAINFULLY BURNED. Well Known Theatre Manager In jured. F. M. Hahn, manager of the Star theatre, had a badly burned hand as a result of an accident which occured a day or two ago.'MrHahnwasengaged in throwing some refuse -into a stove at the theatre in which was a roaring fire and in some way the back of his hand struck the side of the stove and, as Mr. Hahn expresses it, "stuck there." While painful the injury is not serious. UNDERGOES AN OPERATION FOR APPENDICITIS The condition of C. A. Hesser, who was operated upon yesterday at Fair view Sanatorium for appendicitis, was reported last night as being very en couraging. TheNorfolkSou thern Officials Visit Raleigh SEVERAL OF THEM GO UP TO ATTEND THE BIG STATE FAIR RALEIGH, Oct. 23 Mr. J. H. Young, president; Mr. J. D. Stack, general superintendent; Maj. H. S.

Ferebee, one of Raelsboro's most progressive merchaata haa seat to the Journal the following interesting letter which he received front Ballard aad Ballard Company of Louisville, Ky, who are the maker of the famous Obelish flour. The letter st of partic ular interest and should be read by all: "This is a concrete suggestion for the relief of the cotton sect ioa. Please bring it to the attentioa of the officials of your city who are interested. . "The United States consumes 40 per cent of our cotton crop, and we see no earthly reason why this should not be increased so much that it will be un necessary to import much,' if any, jute from India. " 'Investigations whould begin at home,' and we were Surprised at find ing that our own firm could increase its consumption of cotton goods over 100 pfcr cent. To illustrate: We have discontinued the use of jute bags for feed sacks, for burlap covers and for baker's flour sacks, and have substituted cotton sacks. Therefore, today this mill is consuming every twenty-four hours the following: $600 worth of ctftton flour bags, $200 worth of cotton feed bags, $400 worth of cotton covers for small bags, $25 worth of cotton baker's bags; totaling $1225 worth of cotton sacks consumed each day. "Two weeks ago we were using each each day only cotton flour bags. The result is startling. Every jobler, re tailer and baker in your town should demand that his flour and feed come in cotton, and not in burlaps. The espense is a little more for cotton, but a broad minded mill figures that it gets its money back and more, because of the increased prosperity enjoyed by the cotton section. "Furthermore, sugar, fertilizer, gram, produce, etc., can just as well be packed in cotton as in burlap. The producer will use cotton if the jobber demands it, so we say it is strictly up to you. Remember that this would bring the United States consumption from 40 per cent of the total crop up to 60 per cent. Surely it is worth striving for. Please .have your newspapers take it up. "Cotton mills are hardly operating 12 hours; they should operate 24 hours. Bear in mind that in two weeks time Ballard has made a change in his pack ing methods which means that instead of consuming $180,000 worth of cotton goods in a year we are consuming $367,500 worth. What Ballard has done, every other mill can be forced to do. "Can we count on your cooperation in this great movement? America raises not one pound of jute, and she does raise cotton. "Gins should use cotton cloth for bagging. "Yours truly, "Ballard & Ballard Co. "By S. Thurston Ballard." OPENS TOMORROW New Shoe Shop Is to Open Mondao Morning Gus.
