TUESDAY. MARCH 1. If the Democratic voter of New lra searohed for a thousand year hey could not find a more able set af men than (hat now composing the Board of Aldermen, and we sirelT hope that they will send each oee of these gentlemen back again. During he past term they have handled the asTsirs of the oity in a manner most emmendablo and their stewardship baa been satisfactory to aeeh and every oitisea. There are candidates ia the field acainst some of the alder men but to remove the present in- embeats now would not be advisable. At least, rive them another term and a ohenoe to do even better work for she city. Less taffy and more epitapky would be a food slogan for a let of people. The free space grabbers we have with at always. Tet when these piratss have a job with real money mi it, they never give it te the mart who has helped then out in the space line. Fallowing New Bern's example, Wilmington is going to clean up. One cay has been set aside for the work here, but over in the New Hanover eounty seat they are going to take a whole week for this task and, judging from the fact that the citizens of Wilmington never half perform a tank, we venture the assertion that she - town will be spotlessly clean when the eampaign is ended. Borne people have a mania for baiting theatrical manager eat of ins and they boast of the f aet that they never pay to see a show. Others have a mania for beating newspaper ent of free space and subscription probably the ' latter variety 1 th tost deadly. Especially is this true when they are in a position to reeip- raoate and then oalmly torn their back on the paper who has a'.ded them. Oh, consistency, thou art in deed a jewel; in fact, thou art a bird. The people of Bertie and Hert ford counties are thinking seriously af patting Hon. C. W. Mitchell into the raoe for the next governor of North Carolina. Mr. MftoneR k man among men and if the whole t North Carolina were searched for ne better fitted for this high office it i doubtful if suoh eould be found. If Mr. Mitchell decides to outer the Hat, there i every reason to believe that he will receive a gratifying vote. Judging from the scarcity of re port coming from up around Ashe- vflle. Judge Carterr ha gone into a hoi and pulled the hole ia after him. Next Monday morning, without fail, the Roper Lumber Company's local mill will resume operation after having been idle for several weeks. Financial conditions now are very satisfactory ia this eity but the re suming of operation at thi plant wSX'make them even better. Judging from the large number of packages containing boose and which an arriving hero dally, a lot of the aid toper are going to make) rare of fatting' in a full supply before the now law goo into effeet on the first of April. It la the Irony of fate that the ieW, law regulating the amount of whiskey which oan be ordered, goes 110" effeet on April 1, All Fool's Day.

Mare. 11. Captain at the aunkna ahipa and passenger from the Florida, who were landed bar last night, rounded up by Immigration" official here ths taoraibg and the report was spread thai, representations had been made that no alien should have been per mitted on land. The government offioials here were reported to be in eonferenoe with Washington authorities on thu sub ject and it was regarded as a probabil ity that all aliens might be returned to the Oermaa cruiser. Captain W. J. King, of the British sailing ship Iaverooe, sunk February 12, who oongregated at the custom house with the master of other vic tims of the Eit.l TViedrirb, declared "They are making s fuss because we were permitted to land. W are try ing to get the members of our erev ashore, but so far wa have been unable to get no advioew on this p int. I un derstand that word is being awaited from Washington." Captain Eriksson, of the Russian sailing ship Isabella Brown, alto anx iously besieged the ountome oflLeem for permission to remove the crew of his ship. "The German commtDilcr did not want us to leave when we were taken off," said Captain Eriksson, "and we have been unable to learn yet what will be done with the orews." In the group of ship masters gather ed in front of the outturn house also were A. E. Dobbing, of the British ship Mary Ada 6hort; J. Wedgewocd, f the British ship WiUerby and V. Le- roux. of the French sailing ?hip Ja oobsen. Other masters were within call of immigration authorities. Pas sengers of the French ship Floride also were gathered at the eut jom house Another request forwarded to Wash ington related to the disposition of 150 I sacks of mail aboard the Frenuh steamer Floride, which still remanis aboard the Eitel Friedrich. HERE'S A CASE THAT'S PATHETIC Victim of Tuberculosis Is Without Funds and In Distress A white man by the name of Oden, is very low with tuberculosis at his home at James City near the old pulp mill, and is badly in need of medioal attention and somothing to eat and is absolutely without funds and the only means of support that he ha is from his father who is at present out of employment. He was employed a night watch man at the Roper mill before it dosed down, and since that time be has been forced to do any little thing thst he could get to do, in order to keep thm from starving. A few days ago the old man came over to New Bern to consult a phy sician in regard to the condition of hi son. He produced twelve cent and stated to the doctor that wa every cent that he possessed, but that he was anxious that something be done for hi son a he was in a very serious condition. Tha matter was reported to the Anti-Tubercu losis Society, and they are doing every thing that their limited funds will allow. They have provided for medi cal treatment and medicine, but this i as far as the society can go, and it now remain for the people of thU eity see that these two unfortunate souls are provided with their daily bread, or funds with which to buy provisions to keep starvation from their door. This is indeed a piti ful condition; a man in the prime of life stricken with this dreaded di sease, and his only dependent u man who has passed over the top of the hill of life, and who is out of em ployment and without funds. Here is an opportunity for an act of char ity, and any amount that may be donated for the relief of this man should be turned over to Mrs. A. J. Mitchell or Mr. R. N. Duffy.

March 11 The Farm Life School is completing its sixth month's work today. The manage ment thought it might be of interest to the friends t the M-hool through out the eounty to learn the exact cost of board in the school dormitory. The expense of this department having determined for the ix months just closing, tbe dining room, which is run on a cost basis, it returning S7.50 to students and teachers who have been boarding in the school the entire time, and $1 25 per month for those students who have been in school more tban two months, hut less than six. This makes the post of hoard S9.2ft per month for those staying the entire time, $7.25 per month fur those snandinp the week-end hi'nt It is believed that wit): m- na ! prices for food stuffs this could hie been reduced to at least $7.00 and $5.00 per months. The expense next year should not exceed $7.00 for full time students, nor $.".0O for those spending week-ends at homo, provided tbe prices of food artinles do not eicred those of the averafjt year. Tbe teachers through different methods of entertainment have raided over $80.00 for the nehool this year With this they have had the graded school building painted, bought lights, and have a small amount left to which they have agreed to add tin refund from hoard and purchase an additional piano for the school. This piano has been needed very much for some time by the music department. This amounts to a gift of SdO.OO to the school by the teachers. One of our public-spirited citizens has agreed to lend the school the exira amount suffieii'pt to purchase the piauo. NEW REPORT FOR NATIONAL BANKS The new form provided by Comp troller of the Currency John Skelton Wtyliftms and which has been for V.ixded to all of the National Banks for thefr reports, is of particular in terest to all banking men on account of the fact that many and varied changes have been made in it. In the old forms the amount lor which any officer or director or any firm of which he was a meniher, was indebted to the bank was called for, but only their namw were entered. In the new form the names of all di rectors must be entered and after the names of those not borrowers the word "none" is to be entered under liabilities. The salaries of all officers must be shown. Formerly the bank reported the number of shares owned by officers and directors as shown by its own books, Mw two columns are pro vided, one for this entry and the oth er headed, "actual shares owned," which would include those registered in the names of others. A footnote stipulates that if the stock ledger does not show the entire holdings, they shall ho ascertained from the officers and directors them selves. If the tmahier or president is unable to obtain thi. yifyrmation the will be expected to answer that he doesn't know and in that case, U was eaid yesterday by a Government of ficial, the director withholding tho in formation will be responsible for the incompleteness of the report. It is not uncommon for bank offi cers and directors Ut put gome of their stock in the names of others. It U assumed that this was the reason why this information is now called for. Another new requirement is the number of depositors, whether their deposit are "demand" or "time," and whether interest-hearing or not. The only explanation offered for the seek ing of thi information was that a bank having a small number of large depositors is not in as good a potation as one with a large number of tmal depositors. In ease of weakness, a few depositor aoujd draw heavily on the bank's cash resouraet and perhaps precipitate a failure. These large de positors, it was said, might the first to learn of any weakness, and with heir funds withdrawn the small de positor would have more difficulty in withdrawing his money. The new form also calls for tbe re port of "dratta or bills of exchange in cident to the importation orjexporta tion of goods aoeepted under the Fed' oral Reserve act," and there are a aaatber of minor changes in the direc tion of greater detail.

Laad Printing Company, on of the most modern printing establishments in Eastern North Caro lina, ia making a specialty of book and magazine work aad during tha past few weeks have turned out a larg quantity of this work. This company aow publishes "Profit." the house organ of the Pepai-Cola Company, and two weeks ago delivered the first edition of this. The magazine is a beauty, containing twenty-four, pages and an attractive cover, and in faot, is one of the best edition ever publisued. Last week the oompany turned out another magazine. The Royal Ar ea ni an, the official publication of the Royal Arcanum Iodge of North Carolina. A day or two later an attractive program in magazine form was pub lished for the Pamlico oounty Board of Education and tlu was very highly complimented. At present the force of printers are working on a fifty page directory of the city of New Kern and this will be issued within a few days and dis tributed to the subscribers. One of the reasons that the E. J. Land Printing Company is making such a success of this book work is the faot (hat by the use of the Mono type machines they are able to cast new type for every new order apd the i type used on each job is for that and 'that alone, tint making it doubly attractive. DEMONSTRATIONS IN MANY AUNTIES North Carolina Farmers Find (Them of Great Benefit I Hy ,1. W. Sears) "Sixty-six counties in North Caro lina have county agents, and last year they, wire directing 5,859 co operating farmers, who cultivated under guidance some 11,000 acres of corn, 3,000 of cotton, 32,000 acres of clover, 4, (KM) acres of grasses, and 13.000 acres of clover and the like. Here are valuahle lessons in" crop culture, diversification and rotation, winter cover crops, Jive stock, fer tilizers, farm industries, and similar important matters. It "is a pity suoh work cannot be going' on in the other 34 counties. The farm demonstrators under Mr. C. R,i Hudson the State agent have a good yearti record," Farmers you are making a mistake this year, are you not? by increas ing your tobaeco crop and not grow ing the above named crops. We need to rotate our crops and etop the one crop system, for you can not improve your .farms with that me thod. You are spending for ferti lizer alone an aversge, on every farm in the county, $97.96 and a large pet cent of this, can be saved by grow ing e.over crops to go back to the soil, ThiB is the yea to grow pain and hay crops, for the demand wiJ bfi great another year for food supplies, both man and beast, for we must help feed the Waring nations. Be sides, from that, we have a ready hinie niarket to supply, we are buy ing $128,88,00 of hay and grain a year in this oounty, that should be produced in it. Think of it; and lets grow more food stuff io this county. COSTLY PAINTINGS FOR SLOAN HOME Noted Artist Has Just Com pleted Ten of These Warren 8.

Henderson has just returned from a trip through Beryie county and up to Durham, where hej attended the head camp convention of the Woodmen of the World. In discussing the political situa tion with reference to gubernatlonal candidates he said that while in the northeastern part of tbe state that he heard much talk, especially from the people from Hertford and Bertie counties with reference to placing' the name of Honorable C. W. Mitchell before the people of the State as a candidate for governor. He said that quite a number of people up there are very enthusiastic about his can didacy, and while he had not been approached so far there will likely be a movement set on foot in the near future to urge him to make the race. Make It Interesting He further said that if Mr. Mitchell should desire to become a candidate,! that in his opinion he would make it quiet interesting to tne oiner pros pective candidates, as' Mr. Mifouell is a man of State-widis reputation, muoh beloved by the people in his immediate section, a member of the Baptist ohuroh and a devout christian.

The reply, which was directed to President Wilson person ally, and cabled in code, was reoeived at the Pepartment late last night. In his r$ply as jjiyeu out at Vera Crus, Carranisa. promised "that for eigners in Mexico City would be af forded protection. His assurance to that effect, offioials here confidently believed, would majce it unnecessary for the American government to take any further steps. Although officials laid the food situation in. he Mexican capital con tinued serious, some of them appear ed to believe that bad been an im provement in a general way.
