BEAUFORT W. 0. W. HOLD UNVEILING Dedicate Shaft to Memory of a Departed Brother Beaufort, Juno 15 A large as semblage gathered In Beaufort Sun day, the occasion being the dedica tion by the Woodmen of'tho World of Carteret county of a monument com memorating the memory of Soverign Curtis WebBter Taylor of Bogue. About one hundred and fifty Wood men were present and a large num ber of visitors. The Beaufort Camp had ohargo of the dedication and was assisted by members of the r nlt r from the Morehead Pity camp, Xorth Harlowe, Maplcwood and New port. The Woodmen from Beaufort were oonveyed to the home of Mr. Taylor by Messrs. Woolard and Pick inson aboard their houseboat. Upon arriving at the grave tho Woodmen sang the hymn ''Nearer My Ood to Thee," after which the ceremonli' of the order were carried out. The reading of a poem by Miss Mat tie Mae Garner7 of Beaufort de erv special mention. Th next on the program waa th memorial address, which was dolly. ered by Solicitor Charles L. Aber ncthy of New Bern. Again Captain A. L. Bryan has shown his skill as a detective, this time he has run down a party whom he believes is guilty of breaking into the Pepsi-Cola Company's office and the grocery store of C. V. MeGehee, and against whom sufficient evidence for probable eause to be found in each case, had been worked up, and was heard by Mayor Bangert at Po lice Court yesterday afternoon. During the night of June the first some one entered Mr. Metiehee s store and stole a box of Red Dragon cigars and a screw driver. During' the night of June the third, the Pepsi Cola office was burglarized. All that waa missing from the latter place was a forty five calibre automatic revolver that Mr. Bradham, Captain of the North Carolina Naval Mili tia, had received td be distributed among the different officers. The screw driver that was stolen from Mc Gehee's store was found in the Pejsi Cola office the morning after it was robbed. Captain Bryan was put to work 04) these cases. He finally located the revolver and learned that, it had been sold to a Syrian by George Bryant, colored, for three dollars. Bryant was arrested, and in his room the box of Red Dragon cigars was found. The negro admitted that he sold the pistol, but stated that he had bought it from another person. Mr. Bradhamx had twenty five of these revolvers that had been sent him by the Navy Department, all of which were numbered. The in voice, which he produced at the hear ing also gave the number, and the number on the pistol found by Cap tain Bryan corresponded with the invoice, Bryapt was the party bound over to Court several days ago on a war rant charging him with breaking into the Atlantic Coast Line freight depot. The bond in JJiis case was fixed at two hundred dollars, and the bonds in the two cases yesterday amounted to five hundred dollars Washington, D. ('., June 14. Senator Simmons thinks that the Republican appeal to big business has failed and Senator Bourne and other active G. O. P. leaders can't fry any fat from corporation- for campaign funds. He believes that the business men of the country have become con vinced that Preside n ; Wilson will see that they get a aquare ,. al if they obey the law. In other words, Mr. Simmons is confident that it al manu facturers realht that they have in the White Hour a man who will be friend them while they operate with in the law, but will nut spare them if they become violator of it. "Before the acute (lerman-Ameri- can situation arose, said Mr. Sim mons, "business was beginning to im prove steadily and generally. The controversy between tlii- country and the German Government caused a slight check, which I think will be overcome within a slim ; while since the President has, shewn just where e stands. I feel that Germany can not refuse to holp President Wilson in the matter under di -mission. Both Great Britain and Germany may lie brought to a realizat ion that t he rights of neutrals must be respected. The little flurry caused by the (lerinan in cident, therefore, should soon pass, and American business will resume its normal activity. "The truth is, business in the South is good. The lumber industry which was hard hit by the European war is now active. Old mills are running and new ones being built. "Three months ago, about the time Congress adjourned standpat Republi cans were making some headway with their calamity propaganda. They had succeeded in getting many business men to join them, and were making the welkin ring against the Demo- rats. This movement was checked. Business men began to see that they had nothing to fear from President Wilson if they lived up to the laws of the land. They began to work in earnest. 'Today, everything looks good for the Democratic party-; President Wil son is stronger than ever in tho South. His record in the White House has brought him greater popularity. The people like him." Senator Simmons is very enthusi astic over the situation. He is proud of the way North Carolina is stand- ng by the President. In BetU-r Heblth Senator Simmons is looking much' better than when he left here in the spring, tits color is better and t tic good North Carolina air and climate have braced him generally. He s.;id, owever, that he is not yet wc-1', and will rest all Summer in order to get himself in line condition for the im portant wo k of the Senate next Win ter. As thousands of other Norih Caro linians, Senator Simmons does not want war, and he has no idea that we wil have any. He thinks that the Mexican situation is going to right about and improve.
