MAY II. 115 Saunders, of the Elisabeth City Independent, ripe out in another tirade, against Governor Craig and Senator Simmons this week and an aounoes that he ha ten thousand extra copies of his paper which he will sell to anyone who desire to dis tribute them among friend. If we wet Saunders we would not bank too heavily on the proceeds which he expect to get from the sale of those ten thousand extra copies. New Bern has one tobaoco ware house but it needs another and we ineerely hope that before the next season opens, that such will be in operation. The farmers in this sec tion are desirous of seeing two of these warehouses in operation here and they feel as if there was compe tition that they would be benefitted from the same. Whether this will be the ease is a matter which is en tirely speculative but there is no doubt of the fact that if another one of these warehouses is opened this fall that New Bern's tobacco receii ts will be much larger than they were last year. The chautauqua is holding sway ih North Carolina and the press of the State is giving high praise to this sort of attraction. Some people take the view that a chautauqua takes money away from a town and does but little good. In this they are mistaken. The chautauqua may take some money away from a city but they do a thousand fold of good. New Bern is to have a chautauqua again this summer and there is no doubt of the fact that it will be well patronized and that it will prove to bo a help instead of a hindrance to the business interests of the city. Next Sunday's Journal will be sixteen pages in size and wiH be one of the best papers published in the State. In addition to being replete with national, state and local news, it will contain many readable articles which will appeal to everyone and every citizen of New Bern should have a copy. If you are not already a subscriber, let us put you on our subscription lists today. The Raleigh Times opines that "The New Bern Journal is rumoring it that Solicitor Charles L. Abernethy will be a candidate for Congress from the third district. We have no idea, however, that the solicitor will en deavor to bank on any strength he may have gained by reason of the un fortunate incident in which Judge Carter figured. Aside from a num ber of interested persons, most peo ple seem willing to let the Carter Abernethy matter drop. It is im probable that governors and con gressmen will result from the case, ' and nobody ought to know this better than the two gentlemen concerned." Nope, the solicitor is not banking on any strength he may have gained from the contempt proceedings in vestigation. He is probably relying, mainly, on the gratifying vote given htm in the last election when he was returned to the solioitorship of this district. The French say that the Geimans re using a gas that will paralyze those with whom it comes in con tact. Huh! That's nothing. Right over in Raleigh they hare politicians who had a patent on that sort of tuff long ago. . Harry Kendall Thaw Well known in America, Europe, Asia, Africa and New York, has given to the New York World an interview in Which he trie to show that he is sane. Harry has been up to the same sort of stuff for years and year) aad it looks to us as if he would save his breath for some better purpose. A particular friend (?) of Solici tor Abernethy has voiced tha opinion that the arter-Abernethy investi gataaa was a dog-fall. Now tha aver age person doe not know what a dog-fall is and probably the van who voiced such an opiassa jMld not giv a clear definition of the same. However, if the fact that tha Legis lative Investigating Committor found that Judge Carter acted la such a a tempt nous manner a to oaus SettaHer Abernethy to feet in con tempt toward him and also ordered dtrtmatJ to the 80- and ogMal char ts stricken off the Court re might ha termed as such, w anew that the fWhit..r i twisty i what hi eritit dewier that h la VIRGINIA MAN TO PAY DEATH PENALTY Abiaca. Va., May - AfW a trial Las nag oa how aad a half, A epea the phaoaer' paaa of guilty, Judge Presto CaapML at 11:15 o'clock today enienoed Lather Caater to death for the Harder of Mm. Meed Wikoa. ttaty-year-old wife of J R WiUon. Ta trial proved the most exciting murder eaa in tae history of Wash ington county. Immediately after the sentence was nronounoed upon Luther Canter, Judge Campbell began the trial of his broths. James Canter, indicted as an accomplice in what is considered the worst crime in the history of the county. The Canter brothers were brought h re from Roanoke this morning un der an armed guard. Two hundred officers from Washington and other counties all carrying rifles met the train and furnished a guard for the nrisoners to the court houv. The guards took their positions in court room. I hi VIRGINIA COUPLE DESERT INFANT Washington, D. C. May IS The Washington police today sent broad cast throughout Virginia a request for the apprenhension of a cou ple who Monday registered at the Sherman hotel here as Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jones. Front Royal. Va ," and yesterday afternoon departed, leaving behind a chubby, rosy-cheeked baby not more than six weeks old. Yesterday morning the man paid the bill, took a brown suitcase and left, the woman and baby remaining in the room, which had been paid for the full day. At 4 o'clock she asked another woman in the house "to keep an eye on the baby a few minutes." Neither man or woman has been seen since. The baby was taken to the children's hospital. Not a singlfi article belonging to the couple loft behind and on the baby's clothes give a clew of its identity. "Mrs, Jones" is described as twenty-two years old, five feet eight inches high, 130 pounds, light complexion and hair. The man appeared to be about five years older, six feet tall and weighing about 185. He was neatly dressed in a gray suit and light slouch hat, but needed a shave when last WASHINGTON WANTS A BASEBALL TEAM Anxious to Get In the Same Class With New Bern Washington, May 6. Whether the command of "Play Ball!" will be heard in Washington this season and whether the pleasures of witnessing a close struggle on the diamond will be that of local residents and fans, depends upon the result of the ef fort that is being made by enthu siasts of the game to have a repre sentative city team. The matter is now under discussion and being work ed on. The result will be made known in a few days. Herman Carrow, one of the pop ular and well known young men of the city, stated this morning that if the citizens would he liberal in their support, there was no doubt but that a team could be organized. "We have made arrangements for the grounds," said Mr. Car row, "and in a day or two we ex pect to get up a petition in order to find out. what aid the business men of the town will give us. A number of us have talked the mat ter over and we have been encour aged to go ahead with the work. As everyone knows, however, it takes funds to run a ball team and we must have support in or der to get up a successful team. I am sure that if we start the ball rolling, Greenville, Belhaven, New Bern and other cities in this section will fall in line and organize teams. "I have heard from Dave Tay loe and he writes that he will be willing to play. He also stated that several college friends of his would also be glad to lend their prowess in giving Washington a team that would be a credit to the city."

COUECTOR BAILEY MAY HAVE CARTER Iff All Aniwimiv aj An urruncjii Several Others May Also Contest Him for Desir able Office TALK IS RIFE Political Pot Has Passed the Simmering" Stage and Is "Hiling" Raleigh, May 6 Collector J. W. Bailey must beat former Lieutenant Governor Rufus A. Doughton, X. J. Rouae, of Kinston, R. 0. Everett, of Durham and yet other strong ones according to the belief of West ern North Carolina lawyers who have been here this week attending court, Mr. Doughton's name crept into this correspondence two weeks ago as a possibility. This week the western lawyer have brought ad ded fear to Raleigh supporters of Collector Bailey that the Allegh any man will contest the office with Bailey. Doughton's strength in the west is not discounted. It appears to be quite true that Bailey's friends have worked while Doughton's talk ed and that Bailey had a long lead on the man from the west. Judge Frank Carter has not an nounced his purpose, though Ashe ville's offering a few days ago ap peared to have the sanction of the near-authentic and Carter and Dough ton splitting the west would work against Doughton. In the east is Nathan J. Rouse, the big figure of the Carter-Abernethy case which Mr. Doughton helped settle last week. Then with Everett and Bailey in the center it looks like the pawing up process would be complete. Only Everett and Carter would be worried as to the: senatorial sidf. Doughton and ' Rouse were as good Simmons men as Bailey and all would enter the fight without handicap. Since Bailey cares nothing for ma chines and all for causes, he would not be aided above his opponents whose own cause is as dear to them as his to him. Everett and Carter are put down with the anti-Simmons men and neither has taken the time to dny it. In all this political excitement it is notable that no man has definitely committed himself. Announcements have been expected from Everett for weeks since it became known that General Carr was not going to allow anybody to dislpate his fortune ip a party primary. The desire to run General Carr prevented a much earlier announcement from the Dur- I Ikuji man, It is likewise probable that defi nite declaration will be forthcoming the latter part of this week. Somebody must speak out. Even Mr. Dough ton would hardly counsel sitting steady in the boat under these condi tions that threaten overloading and actually rocking it. It is believed here that Judge Car ter's friends have been partly moved to offer him to the state because of Mr, Doughton's and Mr. Rouse's probable entrance into the raco. It would be a capital way to get even with Rouse for prosecuting and with Doughton for reprimanding His Hon or Frank Carter, the judge. An Interesting Story Major W. A, Graham, commission er of agriculture brings back an in teresting political story from Okla homa as to Ex-Judge Charles A. Cook, former member of the North Carolina Supreme Court. Judge Cook was a Republican in his North Carolina experience as a member of the highest court, but he now represents one of the senator ial districts in Oklahoma's legisla ture and is a first-rate Democrat This will he delightful to the Demo crats who recall with something of terror. It wasn't justified, was just typical. Everybody dreaded a fusion judge in the day of constitutional amendments. Collector Bailey is to make the memorial address in Statesville May 10 and leaves Raleigh Sunday af ternoon for that visit. It was the great admiration of the collector's speaking power that mov ed Collector Watts to have the bro ther collector go to Iredell's capital, Mr. Bailey is also to make the com mencement address to the students of the Blind Institute in Raleigh. GERMAN PROPOSAL IN CASE REJECTED FRYE Washington, May 6 The State Department today made public the text of the American note of April 28 to the German Foreign Office on the sinking of the American ship William P. Frye by the raider Prins Eitel Friedrich. The United States Government re- jeete the German suggestion that the legality of the capture and destruc tion of the ship and the question of the payment and amount of indemnity be submitted to a prize court. Il proposes that the matter he settled by diplomatic negotiations. The workmen who are engaged in tearing down the Elm City Lum ber . Company's old mill on South Front street preparatory to the erec tion of a new building there by Charles H- Hall, are making rapid progiee and tha structure win withJa the course of a few days have been dia- poeed of aad the work of the aew mill begun at once.
