GREAT INTEREST IS BEING MANIFESTED Great interest is being manifested in Craven county in regard to the proposed action of a large number of the advocates of the stock law and tick eradication to appear be fore the County Commis sioners at their monthly meeting and ask that an election be called for the territory on the South side of Neuse river giving the citizens of that local ity an opportunity of vot ing on this momentous question. The advocates of the law point out and, have facts find figures to bear them out, that the adoption of the stock law in Craven county will mean a saving of thous ands of dollars each year for the farmers and that it will cause this section to become one of the greatest cattle growing re gions in the State. A hard fight will be made to car ry the measure if the elec tion is called. Mr. J. B, Blades, of New Bern, passed through here yesterday afternoon, going to Greensboro. He said the ad vance in ne price ot cotton had helped business around New Bern and that the staple was being sold in considerable quantities. News and Obser ver. J Miss Gertrude Caraway arrived in the city last even ing from Greensboro and will spend a Tew days visit ing relatives. H. W. Bell returned last night from a business vi&i o ureenvtue. 'vv T ; :' THE OiUQUA COMING" TO NEW BERN IN JUNE There wfll be great things doing in New Bern, June the nineteenth to twenty fifth inclusive. This is the date on which the Chatauqua will be here, and judging from the success with which k met on the first trip here in 1915, there will be hun dreds of people from all parts of Eastern North Carolina in attendance. Prof. Downey, who put the idea of Chatauqua in the heads of New Bern people had quite a task in getting them to put their money up for the first ex hibit in the city, but be fore the first eii&a&emgnt was closed, the people had seen the good there is to derived from-an organiza tion of this variety, and had willingly pledged themselves for the am ount to warrant its re turn. During the six day the Chatauqua was held here last year the people of New Bern had the pleas ure of hearing addresses by some of the famous men of the United States, among whom was Judge BenLindseyof the Juvenile Court of Dfenver, Colora do, and thiryear the peo ple will hatip an opportun ity of hearing men, equals v as tambus as Judge Lindsey. LOCAL POSTOFFICE MAKES FINE RECORD The local post office is rated as a second class office, but at the present rate of increase in the amount of mail matter handled it will soon be dis patching enough first class matter as to bring it up to a first class rating. Notwith standing the fact that busi ness conditions in general are not what they would be if it was not for the depression caused by the European war, The receipts at this office have been larger every month this year than they were for the same months of last year, and there is a decided increase in the parcel post department. During the first fifteen days of this month there were two thousand and four parcel post packages dispatched frorfl this office and three thousand and sixty-one parcels' received for delivery. The postage on the parcels dispatched for deliv ery by other offices was $155. 16, while the extar cost of de livering the "packages from other offices was only $23.35. The total number of parcels handled by this office during .the first fifteen days of this month was five thousand a"d sixty-five, while the total weight of the packages dis patched from the local office was five thousand sixty pounds. Rapid progress is belngj made on the extension of the gas mains to River side. A large force was put to work On Pasteur street at the union pass enger station Monday morning, and nearly au the pipe on this street as tar as tne topacco ware house has been put down. Instead of connecting the pipes by union joints as ri been the custom. J. Palmer, manager of the company is having them welded by the use of ac etelyne gas. The work of welding the pipes is being done by the S, B, Parker Company, DR. E. K. GRAHAM TENTT! PRESIDENT N. C. UNIVERSITY Chapel Hill, April 21 In the presence of a great gath ering of educators, scientists, dignitaries, alumni and visit ors, Dr. Edward Kidder Gra ham today was inaugurated president of the University of North Carolina. He is the tenth man to be at the head of the oldest state-suooorted aniversity in the United States. Governor Locke Craig presided over the evercises and Lhiet Justice Walter Clark administered the oath of office. The retiring presi dent, Dr. Francis Preston Venable, presented Dr. Gra ham. THE EXERCISES The exercises, which were held in Memorial Hall, were marked by simplicity and dig nity. Shortly after 10:30 o' clock the academic procession formed and proceeded to Me morial Hall, where at 11 o' clock the exercises began. With Governor Craig presid ing, Bishop Edward Rond thaler of Winston-Salem offer ed the invocation. Addresses were delivered by Dr. Abbott Lawrence Lowell, president of Harvard University; Dr. F. J.

The repairs that are be ina made to Christ Enis copal church are almost' completed, in fact it is thought that they will be completed in time for the Sunday sejjyices to be held in the main building. During the past few mon ths considerable improve ments have been made in this building. Three ar ches supported by huge clustered columns have been built in the rear of the building, also a choir room, which connects with both the Parish Hou se and the church has been erected. During the last two or three weeks the walls have been kalso mined and painted, and now the interior of the church as pretty as any to be found in this sec tion of the State. It is reported that the Norfolk Southern work train which has been idle for sev eral months, will be put into service today with a full crew. The force employed on this train was laid off a while before Christmas, 1914, when the shops closed down for the holiday, and since that time it has been on fcthe yard'and the men have been out of work except odd jobs that they could pick up. It is not known whether or not the men will be paid regutar prices. Tne work train em ploys aDout eignteen or twen ty men.

Died Yesterday Morning MOREHEADCITY TO BE WIDE OPEN Reports corning to New Bern froj Morehead City are to the effect that this pop ular resort will tr "wide open" this summer as far as the sale of soft beverages and the having of a good time is concerned. In the past few years there has been some restrictions placed on too much jollity there and this has kept many away, How ever, with the election of a new set of officials the ban is to be lifted and there will be "sounds of revelry by night." This plan will be tried out at least one season. If it does not pan out as well as could be expected or if it is taken advantage of to too great an extent, more drastic laws will be passed. However, it is safe to say that the seek ers after mirth and melody will pav the resort a visit arlv in the season. PLAN TO ENTERTAIN THE HOME SEEKERS As, has been previously! stated in this papar, Sec retary George Green of the Chamber of Com- 1 -4 merce, nas receivea a communication from B, E.

J fifty more homeseekers whom he intended to bring to this section at an early date. Secretary Green has written to Mr. Rice informing him that when the party reaches New Bern they will be giv en a royal welcome. A site, has been secured for the tent which they will carry along with them and the business men will lose no opportunity of entertain ing them. New Bern will be the headquarters for the homeseekers while in this section and it is be lieved that a number of them will purchase farms and remain in this sec tion. Dr. H. M. Wharton, who is to preach at the union re vival meeting, arrived in the city last night, accompanied by Prof. Bush who will have charge of the musical pro gram. A delegation com posed of Rev. Euclid Mc Whorter, T. A. Green, Dr. J. H. N. Jummerell, George N. Ives, Rev. L. B. Padgett and F. G. Battlc met them at the train. General Superintendent J. D. Stack, of the Norfolk Southern Railway Company and E. C. Duncan, an of ficer of the same, company, spent yesterday in the city attending to business mat ters. (jutte a sensation was created yesterday morning on Middle street when the fire gong in the O. Marks building was heard. A great many people rushed to the building, but wl they arrived they learned that the cause of the gonl ringing was a test of thet tire lighting apparatus 10 the building by an insur ance inspector.

INTEREST HERE IN STATE POLITICS Now that the political situation has been un ravelled and the - officers who are to charge of the dlty's affairs for an-1 other erm have settled back and are drawing sighs of relief, those who are interested in politics have begun to taks a "look ,1111 vll lllfc 11 UUftWiv Ulfw State offices at the next election.
