PRAISES MAYOR OF THIS CITY Col. Al. Fairbrother Hands Chief Executive A Boquet (From Greensboro Everything) The mayor of New Bern has issued an order that all beggars in that city must be arrested and that all who come must be told to move on. That is common sense. The aver age man starts down town and sees a half dozen beggars; some crippled in horrible ways; some blind; some deformed; some legless and no mat ter whether he yields his coin to them or not, if he has any sympathy he is unfitted for his days work. The professional beggar is the man or woman not wanting to work, Each Community should bs forced, by a general law to take care of its ownaiflicted. Then there would be ho professional business, and' if those might get used to it, and stand for it without excitement. Wo have seen in Greensboro doz ens of professional beggars who were ablo to farn a living at labor and they were capable of labor. But the hat of easy money appeals to them, and they pass it. There is one fel low who has been coming here for years nothing much the matter, but he makes quite a lot of money and finds it an easy way to live. There are dozens of "old originals" known to our citizens, and we want to corn men the Mayor of New Bern for the stand he has taken. Let the profes sional beggars stoj). Let' each com munity take care of its own unfortu nates, but do not let pedestrians be beld up every 'few feet by some de formed or crippled beggar reaching his pinnhed hand or some blind man or woman asking for alms. Those who can afford to give do give and should give. It is alright to alway help an unfortunate but a tax pay er should have protection. He should not be met by such appeals as the professional beggar always gives. The body of Mrs. I. H. Hender son, who died on Friday afternoon in Wilmington, reached New Bern last evening and was carried to the par lors of Centenary Methodist church. The funeral will be conducted from the Presbyterian church this after noon at 4 o'olock by Rev. J. N. H. Summerell, the pastor, assisted by IUv.
