About every eity of prominence
in the State is urging one of it
citisens to enter the raee for the
governor hip at the nest election
with the exception of New Bern and
we expect to be able to rake up a
desirable candidate pretty soon. Up
to the present lime we have only beeu
able to pick out the next senator,
secretary of State and Congressman
from the third district, but if we got
right down to brass tacks there is
no doubt but that we oan find a
suitable man to place at the head of
the affairs of the State.
Charlotte, that proud, boastful
seat of strife over the exact date of
the singing of the Mecklenburg In
dependence, claims to have some of
the best looking people in the South
within its borders and judging from
the fact that one of its male citizens
was arrested a day or two ago on the
charge of "being a female impersonat
ing a man" we are compelled to at
.least sav that the members of the
masculine sex over in the Queen City
must be dadblem good looking.
Ah! There, Bud Stephenson,
Of the Raleigh Times,
Cut out your puns and
Co in for rvhmes.
A stranger in the city a few days
ago remarked about the scarcity of
electric signs here. "Haven't you,
sufficient current to supply such'
he queried. He was told that it was
not on account of the current; that
there was plenty of that and then
some, but that it was moro likely
to be due to the fact that the people
had not been educated to the benefit
of the electric signs. It is reerettable
that there are not a larger number of
these illuminated signs in New Bern.
They give a city a business-like, pro
gressive appearance and we hope the
day is not far distant when one will
be seen every hundred feet or so down
in the business section of the city.
The local health authorities are
urging the citizens of New Bern to
clean up their back and front yards,
to remove any rubbish which may be
lying there and in this way to remove
all cause for an epidemic of typhoid
or othrr similiar diseases which might
break out here this summer. This is
a matter which should not be lightly
passed over by New Bern citizens.
There is no truer saying than, "Clean
liness is next to Godliness" and even
in the matter of cleaning up your
back yards this holds good.
The North Carolina Insurance De
partment issues a bulletin every once
in a while which is intended to put
the people of the State on guard
against fires. The bulleting does a
good work and would do better were
its editors to adhere a little more
strictly to actual facts. In a reeent
issue we find the following: "Fire
waste in the United States is more de
structive than wars, floods or tor
nadoes." Now, if a man was to sit
down and analyze such a statement
he would at once come to the con
clusion that the writer was either
trying to the possible construction
to be placed on "wars, floods or
tornacoes" or else that he did not
know the actual facts. Fortunately
we had no wars of late, but if such
was the case the loss of a thousand
human lives would be of more damage
than all of the fire waste in a decade.
Then, too, there has not been such
a great number of floods, but a num
ber great enough to foot up millions
f dollars in damage. Such state
ment as the above are misleading,
and if the State Insurance Depart
ment desires to have their bulletin
have a good effect . the editors should
adhere to facts and not to letion.
Wo were talking with a farmer a
few days ago and during the earns of
the conversation the subject of an
other tobacco warehouse was brought
up. The agriculturist said thai the
farmers living around New Bern and
bringing their tobacco here for sale, are
anxious that another warehouse be
erected and operated or if a new
building is Dot secured, then an old
building be leased and used as a
warehouse. This man said that the
fanners feel that wish two ware
houses in operation, they wiM feel
thai they are not being moaopolrsed,
and fee urged that the prop sd ac
tion along this line be put into effect.

these disclosure will have their effect
on the voters. Actual evidence shows
all through the hearing that the people
never had a look-in. that it wa the
boaara who took all the benefits all
of the time and that the voters were
used aa mere pawns. From the
standpoint of the people, the investi
gation was one of the best things that
tould have happened.
"BEAR STORY" WAS
TEXT LAST NIGHT
"The Bear Story," was the subject
of the sermon preached in the Dill
tobacco warehouse last night by Rev.
Raymond Browning and was in
tended principally for the children.
It had been previously announced
that the sermon last night would
be for the children, and this account
ed for the large number who were
present to hear the story of David
told by this great servant of God.
Rev. Browning told the story of
the life of David in a very impressive
and interesting manner. He told
of his bravery and courage from the
time he was a little bov until he be
came the ruler of a great country
He told of the preparation that he
made previous to the time he was
made King, and of the great trust
that he put in God.
A proposition was made in which
all the children who trusted in (iod
and desired to connect themselves
with the church, were requested to
go to the front, and quite a number
went forward.
As usual the music furnished by
the choir and an excellent orchestra
was splendidly rendered and w:is
very inspiring. In addition to the
usual songs, a solo. "Who Could It
Be But Jseus'.'" was beautifully ren
dered by Miss Jewel Tillman. Miss
Tillman is a daughter of Rev. ('. I).
Tillman, the evangelist singer who
has charge of the musical end of the
meeting.
There will he services at ten o'
clock this morning at Centenary
church, and tonight the usual ser
vice will be held in the warehouse
at 7:30 o'clock.
COSTLY FIRE AT
TALLASSEE, ALA.
Eleven Buildings Destroyed
Damage Estimated
At $100,000
Montgomery, Ala.. May 17 To
day's checking up of the fire losses
at Tallassee. Ala., last night show
that the total will reach $100,000.
Kleven buildings were destroyed by
the blaze which started in a meat
market, supposedly from spontane
ous combustion, among the eleven
building destroyed was the Bank
of Tallassee, which was complete
ly destroyed, the vaults, however,
protecting the funds. Fire protection
was inadequate and bucket brigades
saved what few buildings now remain.
Tallassee is 10 miles northeast of
Montgomery on the Tallapoosa river,
from which Montgomery gets electric
current. The plant was not dam
aged. Insurance will cover nt more
than one-third of the fire losses.

C. L IVES SPOKE
IN BIRMINGHAM
Delivered Address At Meet
ing of Cottonseed Crush
ers Association
Krom Raleigh Tt
I fi
Birmingham. Ala , May 17 Mater
tal improvement ia all hues of busi
ness directly connected with the man
Cart ure est cotton seed product, as
a result of the war ia Europe, was
described by C. L. Ives, of New Bern,
N. C, preeident of the Interstate Cot
ton Seed Crusher' AssoeiatioB, i a
his annual address to the convention
of thai organization here today.
"The beginning of the season," he
said, "found us with the export de
mand for our products entirely cut
off, because of war conditions, and
our ability to buy seed very limited,
through stringency in the money
market. The prospects were dark and
gloomy. Th'ough the united efforts
of the publicity bureau and the g, n
eral membership of the association
cotton seed products have been intro
duced into new markets, both at
home and in foreign countries. Can
ada has used over 7,001) tons of cot
ton seed meal during the past season
while onlv a few years ago it was
entirely unknown there.
"The warring nations have mater
ially assisted us in disposing of our
crop of cotton, and it is interesting
to know that with every discharge of
one of their great guns a bale of cot
ton or linters is consumed."
The value of cotton seed crushed
during the past season, said Presi
dent Ives, probably will reach more
than $175,000,000, an increase of
$20,000 over last year. The esti
mate for this year's crush, he added,
would reach approximately 5,500,000
tons, or 700,000 tons more than last
year.
The speak' praised the work of
the various committees of the organ
ization and declared that much of
the general improvement in the cot
ton seed i ndustry was due directly to
their active efforts.
The employment of a president by
the association, at a fixed yearly sal
ary, was recommended by Mr. Ives,
"in order to get the best results from
our association." As the work in
creases, he said. "It is necessary that
the president should devote a large
part or the whole of his time to the
interests of the organization. It is
impossible for one having other du
ties to push the work as it should be
done."
Adoption of a uniform grade for
cotton seed also was recommended.
"During the past year." said the
speaker, "several slate organizations
have adopted grading rules. It is
my opinion that a uniform grade
should be adopted by this association
and I hope thai plans can be formu
lated during this convention that will
result in the uniform grading of seed
heforn the heennninfr of Another (-rustl
ing season."
DIVERSIFY CROPS;
RAISE LIVE STOCK
A Craven County Farmer
Writes to Journal On
Interesting Subject
There are already four stock law
districts in Craven county, to wit:
A part of No. 1. township in the
Maple Cypress section; a part of
No. 3 township in the Fort Barn
well section; a part of No. 7 town
ship in the Thurman section; a part
of No. 8 township in the Beliair
and Trent road sections.
None of these four sections reach
to Lenoir county, which has recent
ly been cleared of ticks. This, of
course, prevents any live stock ship
ments from this county to go to any
of the clean territory.
The people are now discussing the
proposition to place all of that part
of Craven county on the South side
of Neuse river in the stock law ter
ritory. This looks like a very feasi
ble and wise plan from the simple
fact that by using Neuse river as a
line, which is a lawful fence, this
would not compel the people of No.
1. and 2 townships to build a fence.
Neuse river being used as a lawful
fence from the Carteret county line
to the Lenoir county line, and the
only fence to be constructed would
be that between the Northern line
of Jones and Craven to Lenoir, which
is approximately a distance of about
forty mile. This fence would l.avc to
be co ns i meted by Jones county, that
is, to say. from the Mouth of Deep
Gully on Trent river to the Lenoir
county line and from the test s lc
of Trent river to the Carteret county
line.
Our people in Craven cbitr.iy on
the South side of Neuse river would
then soon open up that territory
free from licks. The Government
would immediately, upon applica
tion, clean that territory, then all
of that part of 'raven county from
Lenoir, embraced in the above des
cribed territory, could ship live slock
to other sections and at once begin
to diversify crops and grow crops
on a more economical basis. W hope
to see this territory go in the stock
law district ia the near futon,
"FARMER."

In the baccalaureate sermon Doc
tor Walla ehoose the text' From hence
forth all generations shall call me
blessed." He had never heard a
sermon from that text. One church,
he declared, has almost defiled Mary,
the mother of Jesus, the other chur
ches have shamfully neglected her.
He explained it by going back to
the long night in civilization when
men were expecting an austere man
not a gentle Savior.
He appealed for the simple relig
ion of the mothers of the men today.
He did not worry about the politi
cal agitations among women, but he
did concern himself greatly with the
evil tendencies as they manifest them
selves in drinking, gambling, luxury
and immodesty. He laid many na
tional and personal sins to drink.
Gambling under his treatment DC
canto a violation of the Divine law
of rewards. He was severe upon the
woman who encourages gambling
in her parlor.
Luxury he declared a home-wrecker.
It is the excess that grows up
from the abundant prosperity of
the land. But the greatest of all
the evils he made immodesty. The
mother of Jesus was in heather
society the most modest of women
while ail alxnit lier women were
dressing, speaking and dancing as
many of the society women are doing
today, he said. Real piety manifest
ed in the lives of women he believed
to be the great cry of the age.
PACIFIC COAST
CUTTERSAT WORK
They Are Now Engaged in
Active Duty
There
Washington, May 17. While the
Coast Guard cutters of the Atlantic
Coast are preparing for the compara
tively easy duties of the summer sea
son, out on the Pacific the cutters are
making ready for strenuous work in
the North Pacific in the vicinity of
Alaska. The seal rookeries are to be
guarded against the raids of poach
ers, outlying sections of the Alaska
Coast are to be visited, the United
States District Court for Alaska is to
be taken on its rounds and the cut
ters have plenty of other work cut ou
for them.
The cutter Manning went to Alas
kan waters tiro weeks ago, on the
opening of navigation, and the Unal
ga is now on her way there from
Seattle.
The Unalga has aboard the winter
accumulation of second and third
class mail matter for the settlements
on the Aleutian and Pribylof Islands,
and after she delivers them she will
take up patrol duty about the islands
to prevent illegal killing of seals and
other game.
Repairs to the old cutter Bear,
which had been in progress at the Mar
Island Navy Yard for several month.!,
have been completed, nd the Bear
is scheduled for duty in Alaskan
waters.
Though the elosing month of the
winter criming period was not a par
ticularly busy time, the records of
the Cosst Guard show that during
the month of March fifteen vessels
were-given aid and were saved from
possible destruction by the cotters.
The total value of these vessels and
their cargoei amounted to $838,000.
The total for the winter cruising sea
son will amount to several million dol
lars, but on account of the few ves
sels needing aid tbe total will fall
short of previous years.
A report received from the com -manding
officer of the cotter Pamlico,
on the North Carolina sounds, tells of
aid given in floating the sunken schoon
er Kstella of Elisabeth City, X. C.
and of the v easel being laid ashore
where her master could make reps in
to her.
District Superintendents George W.
