TUESDAY, MAY 4. SMI BUSINESS No man should permit him- aelf to become slave to bis Mttslness. "Perpetual devo- iltfia to What a tean calk his fttttajness, says Stevenson, "is only to be sustained by perpetual neglect of many other things, and It Is not by ally means certain that a man's business Is the most important thing he has to do" The man who makes business a continual eicUse for not he- tag public spirited, neighborly And godly is merely a shirker. The new motor-driven combina tion fire fighting engine was given an official test yesterday and, as was expected, turned out to be all that eould be desirfd. We know what these machines can do in the way of fighting fires, and that is the main reason we were so anxious for tn city to have two of them. Now New Born has the best equipped fire fighting department in the State and local citizens- need have no fear from any heavy fire loss. Fish Commissioner H. L. Gibbs was In the city last night en route to Washington, N. C, to attend a meet ing today of the Fish Commission He defended Governor Craig against the criticism, being made against him lay various parties on account of his appointment of Mr. Gibbs as commissioner. Mr. Gibbs cited his previous excellent work as shell fish commissioner and declared that he knew that the governor was not influenced in making his selection by any politicians. Local fishermen have defended Mr. Gibbs and it looks as though Saunders of Elizabeth City was about the only one who really has anything harsh to say against the Oriental man. The Legislative Investigating Com mittee looking into the Carter-Aber nethy case, spent yesterday poring over the records, but rendered no decision. The people all over North Carolina are vitally interested in this wrangle and there will be a sigh of relief heard when the committee make known its findings. What the outcome will be is a matter of spec ulation, but the general opinion down this Way it that Abernethy will win out. Collector Bailey has called upon the people of the State to aid himself and his deputies in suppressing blind tigeristn and the illicit manufactur ing of whiskey. This appeal has been made by the Collector after his men hate made strenuous efforts to break up this illegal business and, although having made some success, have not accomplished all that they would have desired- It Is a matter that is up to the public If the public wants this business broken up and will as sist toward this end, the desired re sult will be obtained. Until this is done, practically nothing van be accomplished. Governor Craig last night gave out an interview in which he emphatically denies any statement to the effect that be Van in any way influenced tn the appointment of H. L. Gibbs as Bute Fish Commissioner. The Governor declares that he appointed Mr. Gibhs upon fats merits and as toftd as says that any reports to the contrary are simon purs fabrica tions. Mr. Gibbs oertainly bat a fln string of recommendations from prominent men who are familiar wfib the fishing industry and the fart of the ease hi that the Governor probably acted wisely in his aetion in the matter.

Many Believe Abernethy Will Win Out Oth ers Differ " Raleigh, April 28 The Carter Abernethy investigating committee working In divisions today has reached the conclusion that it ean finish to morrow and individual members are writing opinions assigned them by the court. The court has discussed thoroughly certain episodes and baed upon these a member of the commit tee will write the opinion for the committee. That ha been consid ered the best way to handle the great big issues before the seven men. That will give the greatest variety in style and in treatment. It is the supreme court way of making law. Opinion Ready Thursday The committee hopes to have an ODinion readv Thursday evening. It may decide the matters before it . earlier in the day. Chairman Dough- ton is driving even as he drove when the testimony was being taken. Some delays have been necessary on ac count of the breaking down of the machine which Was to have made the copies, the New Bern incident being the ill-fated copy. But the commit tee has had the copy of the evidence in its first shape and has been able to read It before going on the mani folder. Members admit having seen what the findings of the court will be and all these advance stories have been entertaining inasmuch as they are several days and even weeks in advance of the mind of the commit tee.

THE WAR IN BRIEF , Military operations of critl- cal Importance now are under way in three distinct fields of action. In Flanders the Germans once more are. engaged with the British, Belgians and French in a struggle for mas. tery of the territory near the Yaer Canal, where several months ago there occurred what was perhaps the most terrible struggle of the war thus far. In the Carpathians the Rus- slans again are assuming the offensive in another effort to push over the mountain bar- rler Into Hungary. At the Dardenelles the Allies have succeeded in landing troops on both sides of the straits, inaugurating a com- btned land and sea attempt at Constantinople. A British correspondent tn northern France says the Ger- man effort to turn the left British flank near Ypres has failed definitely, although the battle continues with vlo- lence. French military auth orltles are cautious of accept- Ing the theory that the Oer- man plan is to break through to the English Channel, but they regard It as patent that such a huge concentration of troops on a limited front means that the present drive Is preparatory to some more Important undertakings. An official Belgian statement ln sllcates that the German at- tack Is leasing In force. It la aald the artillery fire against the Belgian front has largely died away. Russia and Austria official statements Indicate that lighting In the Carpathians Is becoming more Intenae. Each side claims to have de- fcatod the other, but It la ap- parent that gradually the tlvlty is spreading along great - er sections of the battle line. Military observers at PHro- grad say more decisive opera- Mens than have occurred hitherto are expected shortly. The Dardenelles situation remains obscure, although It It la apparent the French and British have made aouce bead- Way with their landing oper- attains. The Parks war office baa announced the rapture of Hum Kaleh, on the Asiatic side.

IAND GOVERNOR CRAIG REFUSES PARDON Raleigh, April 28. The Hicks par don seekers returned home today after something of disappointment in Gov ernor Craig's refusal to grant the pardon. They left a letter of Judge B. F. Long, who tried Mr. Hicks, in the keeping of the Governor, albeit the long letter was a poor document in the shape of help to Mr. Hicks. The judge goes into all phases of it but the mind of the Hicks friends is that the Judge's mind is against the pardon. Governor Craig is now asked to shorten the term of two years. The prisoner will have been there a year in a few days and Salisbury and Spencer people had hoped that the sentence of two years might be re duced to one and that the former bank cashier and newspaper man might be given his citizenship again He has many prominent officials working for him, Secretary Daniels and Senators Overman and Simmons being among them. MANY CHANGES AT THE CITY HALL The improvements and changes that have been in progress at the City Hall for the last several days have been completed and quite an improved appearance to the interior of the hall has been made. Six feet has been added to each end of the stand that is used by the Mayor in trying cases and on which chairs are placed for the Board of Aldermen at the meeting of this body. Hereto fore the table used by the Board was so short that several of the members were forced to sit with their backs to the audience, but this will no longer be necessary, as a table sufficient in length for every member to sit on one side has been made and placed on the stand. In the center of this will be placed the Mayor's chair, and on either- side a chair for five of the aldermen. The stand, In cluding the bar used by the attorneys and the defendants has been painted and the appearance in general greatly improved.
