ing Tonight
It took tho Board of Aldermen
juit about 1 hree hours . last night
to purchase one thousand feet "of
hose from the Outta Percha and Rub
ber Manufacturing Company of New
York and if tho original two thousand
feet of this particular commodity
which had been advertised for had
been purchased, the Board would
have in all probability been on the
job this morning.
Twas "Firemen's Night"
The regular meeting night in May
might correctly be termed "Fire-.
men's Night" as mattes pertaining
to the fire companies took up about
the entire session and all other mat
ters were iust about si de tracked for
the affairs in which the fire laddies t
were interested. The purchase of
the hose above referred to was made
after much and due consideration.
The oi ty had advertised for two thous-
and feet of lxfee for the new fire
trucks and twelve sealed bids had been
sent in. In addition to this six of
the bidders had representatives . on.
hind and they were separately and
collectively determined . to talk about
their particular., brand of hose and
talk they did, in fact for two hours
or more there was nothing but talk.
Some Talk Fest
Each one of the hose salesmen was
given ten minutes, in which to ex
plain the merits and demerits of
their wares - and then another ten
minutes was allowed them rh which
to show where the "others: fellow"
had- htaired about his
dalesmen talked and the Board aat
and listened. It was about as fine a
. line of oratory as one -would care to
listen at, that is if they were inter
ested in hose. The arguments wore

at this juncture Alderman Hatter
waite handed to the Clerk a tele
gram which, for a few moments,
looked as though might cause trou

The telegram in question was from
the Mayor of Atlanta, da., stating
that that city had recently purchas
ed one of the same sort of machines
as that sold to New Bern for $8250
with a chemical tank or $8,(100
without the tank. As The La France
Company had charged New Bern
99,000 for tho machine it. was up to
someone to do some explaining and
E. L. Wciant who came to New
Bern with the machine and who has
been demonstrating it. proceeded to
tell all of the whys and wherefores as
to the Atlanta deal.
Mr. Wciant stated that Atlanta
purchased two trucks at the same
time. That his company had an
office in that eity and that they
used the Atlanta, trucks for demon
titration purposes. He further stated
thai be had made New Bern the name
proposition if the oit.v would pur
chase two trucks at the same time
but this was not done. The tele
gram from the Atlanta man also
declared that the La Prance Company
had agreed to keep the trucks in
repair for five
years.

Select Sanitary Officer
Among the other matters disposed
of during the evening was selection
of a Sanitary Inspector and an as
sistant. This position is bo "lead
pipe cinch," at least sot if the duties
of the office are properly attended to,
but as there were nine applicants for
it, there was ample evidence that the
place would not go a begging. The
following parties stated to the Board
in writing that they would like to
conneet themselves with this depart
ment? L. N. Dawson, J. D. McCoy,
W. O. Milan, LaFayette Williams,
W. H. Harris, D. W. Hunt, J. M.
Hergett, C. R. Hendrix and, H. T.
Brinson. The Board would have been
delighted to have employed all of
the men who made applications for
the place but as this was not possi
ble just at this time, they began bal
loting to select two men. On the
twenty-seventh ballot H. T. Brin
son was elected inspector No. 1
and F. M. Williams won the place as
his assistant and will begin work right
way.
Other Work
A few other minor matters were difk
posed of during the evening but there
was little time left for any real busi
ness and the Board took a recess until
ftomght at 8 o'clock at which time a
number of very important matters
are ooniing up for consideration.

The New Bern Electric Supply
Company which is under the manage
ment of J. J. Tolson. Jr., has just
completed the wiring of the new
Columbus county Court House which
has recently been erected in White
ville, and The News Reporter of
that town carried the following ac
count of the work in a recent issue
"The work in wiring the new Court
House is now practically completed.
The only work yet to do is the
fixing of tho switch plates when the
plastering is finished. The work
has . been in the hands of the New-
Bern Electric Supply Co., under the
supervision of Mr. Z. V. Taylor,
Jr., and is greatly to their credit.
"In each of the smaller office rooms
there are to be three or four lights
and in the large court room there
will be two electroliers bearing ten
lights each; this is in addition to
the lights around the bar. Eaoh
floor has it separate switch board,
from which all, or to many of the

WHO WIN IN THE
ELECTION MERRY
Supporters of Administra

Things Warm
SERENADE PAPER
Paid Their Reapecta To The
News and Observer W
In Noisy Manner
Raleigh, May 4. The city admin
istration su pporters celebrated allnight
and many did not come up this morn
ing when tiie work time- eame. The
commissioners were in place. They
slept while their jubilant followers
serenaded with a band which played
tunes and travesties much of the night
the band picked out sore spots and
there were many, and tried the charms
that music is alleged to have on beasts
or savage. . m H
Two years ago the band assuming
that Commissioner wing would fire
shief Snell of the police force, spent an
hour or to after, midnight making chief
Snell feel bad. The commissioner did
discharge Mr. Snellafter a brief period
with htm. This morning the same
musicians , went to the News and Ob
server office and played that force a
choice lot of dirges.
The paper didnotthink highly of the
aggregation of players. Itlad expressed
its opinion ' quite freely of the three
commissioners inwhose honor the cele
brants were making their all night
noise. The News and Observer called
it "A weak resemblance of a tune,"
but neither Handel's Largo nor the
Hallelujah Chorus could have been
favorably received this morning.
No Charges
The election was productive of no
charges against any of the officials
connected with it. One of the accu
sations, perhaps the only one not open
to serious denial, was true, evidently.
It was alleged during the fight that
the city had employed from first to
last 721 voters on its works of one
or another nature. That looked like

tcreqiiapie pajroii. out. ine. vow
jufnrifn'lt. Mayor Johnson and Ms
two associates received a bigger vote
in the election than they did fn the
primary. It looked as if the city had
employed every bodyin it.
A Good Organization
There goes Tammany" Democrats
said this morning as the two fire
wagons would dash out to imaginary
fires. 1
That was; a tribute to the organic-.
tidn which, overwhelmed the forces
that circulated under the pleasing
cognomen, Uood Oovernment.
The secret of the election was the
Tammany-like precision with which
the ins went after everybody who had
a mind 'to vote with them but lacked
the poUtax receipt or was disqualified
by some other thing. The supporters
of the ins declared that they spent no
money for workers, just paid their
polltax or lest the money for that
purpose.
Plan of Certification
The State board of examiners for
high schools teachers license is work
ing upon a plan of ceritfioation which
gives temporary license to .young
students out of school for one year;
gives renewal for two years, may give
lioense for six years and under condit
ions perfectly satisfactory may create
a life certificate. The details are
not completed and the examination
board Is not ready to announce its
plans. But a satisfactory showing in
scholarship may give the applicant
lioense for a year with or without the
examination if the prospective teacher
shows that he has the requirements.
He may get this one year lioense ex
tended two years and may receive an
extention of three more upon satis
factory showing of the applicant. If
be receives a lifetime certificate he is
required to maintain a course of read
ing and study that will make him fit
for a whole life.
Boosting Valley Still
Collector Bailey's friendsjaro giving
him a mighty boost for the general
attorneyship.
The story of his undoubted in
tention to make the race has brought
him support from all places It has
not Caused any applications for his
position in the revenue service, but
very little fear Is felt here. Even in a
Democracy such immolation is pos
sible.
Mr. Bailey gets his strength from
the powerful Democrats. It is not
known whether Senator Simmons has
actually beard about It or not. Ne
body has toM him. But Bailey has
taken a tremandous start and the. of
floe holders art not his chief backers.
The support of the State adminis
tration is remarkably strong for him

Raleigh, May 4. Marshal W. T
Dortoh's force this morning took four
prisoners to the Federal prison in
Atlanta and in the quartet was the
famous Joe Tilghman, the champoin
blockader of eastern North Carolina.
Marshal Dortch believes that Tilgh
man should have the world's record
for business done within the shortest
period. A few days ago he was ar
rested and brought before the United
States Commissioner. "Will you
gentlemen excuse me just a minute
in order to give me time to do a little
business before the hearing?" he
asked the court and lawyers and left
the room. When he came back within
half an hour he had taken orders for
SO gallons of liquor at $4 a gallon,
disposed of it all, collected the money
and was ready for the courts.
Never Credits
"He never credits," Marshal Dor
tch said today. "I never heard of
him losing any money." They say too,
that he will not sell upder J4. He
maintains the prices of the retailers'
union and has never given legitimate
offense to the trade.-. He goes up for
two years. It is merely a temporary
suspension of business.

he Story
1 1 1 i ng to the story brought here,
colored man arrived in the town
early on last Saturday morning and
stated that he was the steward on
board of a government survey boat
which had come up from Florida
and was anohore3"in a stream a few
miles away. The man went to one
of the leading merchants in the town
and placed an order for food supplies
amounting to ' fifty or sixty dollars
and In which was included' fifty
pounds of beef. The merchant did
not have the beef but told the negro
that he would get it for him and this
he did. , .
Saw the Sights
In the meantime the negro walked
about town, went to the post office,
called for mail for a number of men
who were supposed to be on the boat
and was informed that there was
nothing there for them. He then
asked for any old newspapers that
might happen to be lying around and
was given a supply of these.
All during this time the colored
man continued to tell of the trip of
the survey boat as it came up from
the wave-kissed shores of Florida
to the North Carolina coast and even
went so far as to invite a number of
the citizens of the town to pay the
ship a visit on Sunday, declaring
that he would be glad to call for
thorn on Sunday in a launch. ' In
some Way the fellow obliterated him
self from tho town a short time
later without anyone seeing him and
while the merchant who had arranged
to furnish the supplies for the boat
was awaiting the return of the black
man he was probably putting space
between him self and tha town. Now
the strange pari of the affair lies in.
the fact that no such boat had ever
been in that part of the country
Just where the negro eame from or
where he went is another mystery
but the worst part about It to the
merchant at least is the fact that
he has fifty pounds of beef steak
on hand which he cannot dispose of,

The Trial oi Christ
Dr. Belk gave a brief story qf the
trial of Christ before Pilate, and point-
I ed out in many instances of where the
I people failed to carry out the require-
I meats of the taw. The law required
I that before a lean should be tried for
- his life he must first be arrested and
I then three days must be consumed In
preparation for the trial, but this was
j not done. Christ was arrested by a
I mob, earned bfeore Pilate, - tried.
sentenced and crucified, practically
without following any of the
ments of the taw. Pilate knew 1
had an innocent man before him but
he also knew that if he did 1
Christ to be oruck ied he won
hie position and standing
people. "What shall I do
who is called Christ?," this
stated Dr. Belk, presenting himself a
