A eemecrao, la its tnal " analysis, most rest on the seen wtll and intelUgeace of Its constituents. Prof. d gar J. Swift. The Raleigh Christian Advocate in tae current issue has this to say of the Carter Abernethy investigation: "The Carter-Abernethy investigation same to a close in this city on Tuesday sight, March 30, after eight days' continuous work, omitting Sunday. The committee is to meet Here on April 26 to make up its finding and report to the Governor. We do not wish to anticipate what that Undine will be, but editorial comment gener ally woold not indicate that tlie pre vailing sentiment favors any impeach laent proceeding. While the judge may not always have controlled his temper as well as he should, and at times spoken more harshly than was necessary, yet he has shown com mend- able zeal in enforcing the law against the rich and influential as well as against the poor. He has probed some situations that badly needed it and has been a terror to evil-doers. He has had some unfortunate dashes with mem, the merits of which it is not our province to judge; hut it stems to us that he has come un scathed out of this investigation as a jurist of high and honorable pur pose.' We agree with the Advocate that .lodge Carter has been a terror of vudoers, bat as to his honorable purpose in all of his dealings there in some doubt. We would not say that his action in fining and belittling two prominent citizens of New Bern and the flying into a rage with the sriiedtor was so "high and honorable," in faet, we think very little of any such ecurances. Judge Carter may mean well, but until he learns the lesson ef self-control he will never be mini bered among the greatest jurors the State. of As We predicted, the commander f the German ship Print Eitel Friedrich, has allowed his ship to be interned. The German may have keen a brave man and all that, but it "'Matd have been nothing less than 'pure foolishness to have attempted to run his little dinky ship, through a lane flanked by the battleships of the Allies and he showed common m his action, inert is one Hiing regarding the case of the Print! "Eitel that is rather disgusting to us, end that is, after this vessel had fired upon and sunk the American. schooner Frye, she sails into Newport News, a neutral port and there her officers end erew are given the fat of the land favored and feted and placed upon the pedestal of being heroes.

One of ike railway companies doing badness in North Carolina is the Norfolk Southern, and, strange to Sey, one sees bat little adverse en ti des against this road.

It's just yours as much as hist If your town is shy on boos ters. You get in the boostin' biz. If things don't just seem to suit you. An the world seems kinder wrong. What's the matter with the boosting, Just to help the thing along? 'Cause if things should stop a-goin', We'd be to a sorry plight You just keep that born a- blowin. Boost er up with all your might. SUMMARY OF WAR Although she has concen trated her army alonrf the Austrian herder and her navy within strlkind distance of the Adriatic. Italy still is en deavorind to exhaust every diplomatic means for settle ment with Austria of the ques tion of territorial concessions. Rome advices indicate that even should Italy enter the war she will not strike for some time. It Is believed the decisive struggle will not be gin before the early summer, which would allow Italy a con siderable Interval to decide on her policy. The Austrian correspond ent of a Turin newspaper tel egraphs he baa reliable Infor mation that there Is a basis for the reports that Austria la seeking peace with the Tri ple Entenet powers, the bet ter to deal with Italy. The losers of men during the first eight months of the war are estimated by the military expert of a Rome newspaper at MMHO. The coat of the war for the first six months is alone placed at S8.40f.000.000. General Fast, of the French ermy, is 1st Naples on his wey froaa Petrograd and the Bal kan capitals.

Attracting nwek at tentate, in the satin exhibit room was a lovely group of picture by the eefe- brned (...ou.gr.pher. Mr Khaffl. of KaoxnUe. Tennessee, who r ' 111 mastery of the camera second to none, and whose unerring judgment af feed work reserved the highest recognition at the National Federa tion of Photographers held last year. Mrs. Wootten herself occupies a pro minent place on the official board of this organization. Mr. Knaffl pays tribute to Mrs. Wooten's skill in the gift of this beautiful collection of pictures which were the main fea ture of this exhibit, Mr, George Moulton of the firm was in charge of this display, pointing out and ex plaining the difficult studies. His wide range of subjects shows a won derful conception of human life Conspicuous in the group were the Madonnas. Some of these were Mr. KnaftTs own conception and were very distinctive in their poses. An other Knafll greatly admired was "The Guardian Angel." This, a beautiful winged figure with a spiritual face hovering over innocent youth. No table in the collection was the darky group, portraying a negro wedding with all the characteristic inequalities in the principals, the affected solem nity of the parson, the self conscious ness and air of importance in the at tendants were all realistic of a wed' ding in high circles of the dusky race. Every picture was a study of art as well as human nature and the appro priate framing gave to earn its pro per value. The Music Department of the Woman's Club gave a delightful re cital of their choicest choruses with solo and quartet parts well taken. This added greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion, Mrs, Wootten as sisted by Miss CeUa Vuiton and Miss Marena Pigott served the her ing cup of tea and wafers to the ap preciative throng of visitors who were coming and going throughout the afternoon and evening.
