IS The New Letter aablished by the University ol North Carolina ay that twenty-aight aeantie in North Carolina gained ia the number of hog during the last cenaua period t rate ranging ran four tenths of one per eent in Uuitfurg to sixty one per cent in livde. In looking over the tabulated table of the coun ties which showed gain, we note that Craven was up among those whose per eentagei is high, its gain being twenty-seven; per cent, and this is indeed gratifying. The sooner that our farmers tadte to raising more atoek and devoting less of their time to eottoa and similar products, just that much sooner will this county get to be among the- richest in the State. The Germans ar soliciting funds with which to bay suitable medals for the officers and crew of the sub marine which sunk the Lusitania. A aa emblem for the medals we weald suggest that they represent aa armed warrior silently stealing upon an unarmed man with a dag ger poised to strike aim ia the back and over this to put aa inscription similar to this: "We don't care how we kill them just) so we kill them.'' We rejoice with the Charlotte Observer over tie- report of an in vestigating committee te the effect that the monument surmounting Mount Mitchell aad erected to its discoverer, Dr. Eliaha Mitchell, was not dynamited but was blown down oy ine tcrrinc winds which sweep that exposed, bleak peak. We never have believed that t here was a person ia the Old North State capable of rack wanton vandal ism and an glad to know t hat such has been proven to be the case. T Apes the Wilmington Star: "If Italy issues a paper explaining her reason for going to war, What color wHl she nae to try to make it appear that Austria has to take the blame for refusing to be robbed of her terri roryr wane we are not an author ity on tneea various papers, we are of the opinion that it will be color-less. Editor Whiohard of the Greenville Reflector marvels at the great crop af candidates which are grooming for the next State election and emits the following: "Although the next State election is over a year off, already there are many candidates looming up for the various offices. The, political plums are very seldom lacking ia seekers these day and one term of office is not long under way before there be gins to ha muck talk about the coming one." well, you must remember that "its the early bird that gets the worm" and there ia no fun in being left at t ho post after having for months had secret aspiration lor a sice juicy plum which some other chap slips ia at the crucial moment and nabs from the political tree. WHHE IS THE LAW? The Press of North Carolina has during the past t wo day made many comment upon the fearful automo bile tragedy winch occurred in thia erty on Monday . evening and the general trend of opinion i that the officers should use more care in en forcing the law passed by Ike Legis lature of 1919 prohibiting children from driving automobile. One of the best .of 'these editorial on the subject is from the Wilming ton Star and be law we ate repro ducing It: "There is some little comfort in the condolence of sympathising friends but nothing will ewer wrjv away the anguish of the parents' who lost their dear little hoy.

NEW ENTERPRISE IS ONE OF MERIT Desk Cabinctte Company Bids Fair to Further New Bern's Fame There is quite a number of new enterprises being launched in New Bern. The list is composed of almost every variety of business from a boot-black stand to manufactur ing establishment. There ia one company recently started in business in New Bern that the people know very little about, but it is one that means con siderable in the future to the city. This is the New Bern Cabinctte Company, and is owned and conduct ed by A, T. Dill and Wilber F. Webb. The chief article to be manufactur ed by this company is unspi, small cabinet to be used op a desk in a business office or in the horn The selling point of "Ofispi" is that it furnishes a neat, convenient and attractive place to keep office i cesories that are usually scattered over the desk. life plant, winch is located on Spring street, has recently been equip ped with modern machinery used in the .manufacturing of cabinets including a band saw, a planning machine and a slatting top saw tabic. all of which are operated by dec tricity. There has been quite a number of these little cabjnets sold in New Bern and no effort has been made to put them on the marker elsewhere, but within a short time a number of salesmen will be put on the road throughout the State. PROF. D. F. GILLS SUCCEEDS JUDD Raleigh, May 20 After taking mueh time to deliberate so as to se- eure the best man available, the Wake county board of education has elect ed Prof. D. F. Giles of Marion, sup erintendent to succeed Prof. Z. V Judd. who gave up his work in this county to become a member of the University of North Carolina faculty. Prof. Giles has accepted the position and will assume his duties here on July 1. The new superintendent was edu cated at the University of Trinity College, making fine records at both institutions of learning During the past winter he represented McDowell in the state senate and made many friends in Raleigh. After leaving college, his first work was the found ing of the Neno high school. He was principal of that institution for two years and county superintendent seven years. In the senate he was chairman of the committee on edu cation. Prof. Giles is a native of McDowell county and is the son of a Methodist minister. He married Miss Kather- ne Reed of St. Louis. He is only M years old. MUCH WHISKEY . COMING HERE Hundreds of Quarts Find Their Way to New Bern Each Week The amount of whiskey handled by the local office of the Southern hs press ( ompariv during the two week following the date on which the Orier quart act went into effect waa very small, hut inee that time thin business has been gradually piek ing up, and now the local agent states that he is handling almost . a many packages aa he did before the law went into effect. Ia fact thi class of express drop ped off to inch an extent that the company discontinued the use of their branch office on South Front street that was used for dispensing the haoaa, but thia did not continue lotag for the number of packages received continued to inereaae until about a month ago the company opened up their dispensary again, aad since that time the whiskey business htn been on the increase.

TRAVELING MEN f ARE OPTOMBnC They Are Finding Condi h tions Down This Way In Fine Shape Traveling aaaa coming into New Bern from tour over the part of the State, apeak ia a moat optomiatie at conditions they are encountering. A few ago many ol the big mercantile wholesale house did not have their representative in this section, tak ing them off on account of a alight depression. However, atnee the farm ing season ha opened in full blast, everyone seem to have money and hundreds of salesmen ate touring thia section. One knight of the grip who was in New Bern yesterday stated that he bad been coming to Eastern North Carolina for the paat ten years and that, in his opinion, conditions now Were mueh better than they had been before in several years and that he was getting all the orders that his house could take care of. Not only in the mercantile lines does business seem to be on the boom but this propsperity extends to a number of other lines, including manufacturing and agricultural work and this section is, presumably, well fixed. "TIGERS ' TRY OUi NUMEROUS SCHEMES Will Go the Limit to Get Whiskey Into This State Raleigh. May 20. The efforts of some Richmond and other Virginia liquor dealers and local "blind tigers" to get shipments of liquor into North Carolina, in excess of the limitations of the new law, are meeting with lit tle success on the part of the former and with disastrous results for some of the latter. Nearly two months have elapsed since the, amended State prohibition law took effect, limiting the amount of whiskey and other spirituous liquors to one quart each fifteen days to one person. Manv of those ac customed to using more took ad vantage of the period elapsing be tween the passage of the amendment and the date of its becoming effective and laid in n stock of liquors for fu ture use. Much of this, it appears, has been consumed and in some cases ex hausted and recently there lias been a renewal of the effort to evade the law by smuggling liquor in through various tricks and devices. Twelve RubbVr Water Bad Full A favorite method employed is to bring in a few quarts stowed away among clothing in trunks checked by passengers coming in from Richmond Norfolk and elsewhere. When the in dividual checking the trunk does not bring it for his own use, lie brings the liquor to "accommodate a friend.' This practice is becoming so prevalent that police officers are now keeping a suspicious eye on much of the "bag gage'' unloaded from the baggage coaches here. Many seizures are be ing made, and it is getting to he risky to stow whiskey in trunks already, for the police court here is lined up squarely for the strict enforcement of the new Orier law. The suitcase method of bringing in booze, largely practiced for some time by "blind tigers" is wearing itself out as too transparent a fraud to longer deceive. An aggravated caae of this character is now in the courts here, pending an appeal from the city Judge's court. This court first sentenced the np posed "tiger" to twelve month, and later sentenced his alleged employer (a negro druggist here) to six months for the same offense, the "runner' having ridden from Richmond to Raleigh on a mileage hook issued in the name of the negro druggist. named Shade. f This liquor "shipment'' was brought in under a new cover and would prob ably not have been detected had not one of the "vessels' spilled part of its contents, which oozed with accentu atea OOOT rrom the negr.i runners suitcase. Growing Enforcement of Prohibi tion Lpw. The suspicions policemen at the union station who searched the suit case found twelve rubber water-bottles filled with whiskey, ail except the one which had spilled a portion of it contents. The eity judge, in setrrtenolng the druggist, whom he regarded aa that man "higher-up" and the really re sponsible violator of the law, made it clear that the municipal court would uphold the practice of polioemen (under the terms of the search and seizure law of examining suspected "baggage," and the prospect of smug gling in liquor in thi manner from bow on haa received a pronounced afttback. In most of . the cities and town of thi State, it ia learned, the new law ia being enforced with gratifying re sults. Virginians who are awaiting the time for their prohibition law to be come effective may well take heart over the growing succes of the law in North Carolina. NEW REftN COTTON MABKF.T. (By a W.
