Entered at th post offijee in N Ern N C. second-class rati matter Tl'ESDAY, JUNE 22 1915 The war in Mexico, like the poor, we have with us always. High Point's fire companies have gone on a stri.e on account of some differences between the officials of the city and the members of the com panies. However, there is every pro bability that the firemen will have settled their differences before the Sttete Firemen's tournament is held in New Bern, and that the fire laddies of that city will be here in full force The firut two statements of the trio which the great and only Bill Bryan was to issue have come forth and the last was even more sense less than the first and the third will probably be worse. William Jennings s a failure when it comes down to a question of making statements that are worth the time required in read ing them. Failing to work up any other sen atiunal disclosures against "Billy" Sunday, his enemies now come forth with the announcement (hat his staff of assistants is the biggest bunch of grafters alive and that they clean ed up thousands of dollars while in Philadelphia. In making such "dis closures" the anti-Sunday crowd is only giving him more publicity and making the public even mow anxious to see and hear him. Fo1 the past week an inves tigation has been in progress for the purpose of learning whether or not the Lusitania carried munitions of war for the Allies. It has been con clusively proven that such was not the case but we notice that this finding has had no effect on the Ger mans. The Teutons didn't give a rap whether or not there was am munition aboard the ship, all that they cared about was sinking the boat and killing the crew and pass hngers and they well accomplished tcis. The credit system is one of the greatest things in the world and business could not be done without it. However, credit is based on the assumption that bills will be paid when they are due. Collections all over the country are slow and the reason for this is that the people are holding on to all the money that they can rake and scrape together and are not turning it loose. You owe some one and someone owes you. If you will pay the man you owe, he will be able to pay his debts and finally the man that owes you will he in a position to liquidate his obligations to you. Newspapers rarely ever get any praise. Most of the time they got their full share of the knocks and kicks and when a little ray of praise does come along it is like a rift of sun shine peeping through an angry cloud. Over in Washington there is a paper that has had more than its share of upa and downs, and that paper is the Daily News. Of late there has been a marked improvement in the paper and it is now among the best in East ern North Carolina and the citizens there should support it. We notice that it is getting but little advertis ing patronage and this is regrettable. No newspaper can make a success unless it has advertising, and, as we believe the people of Washington are desirous of a good, newsy daily, they should help bring this about by assisting it financially. In the select j hi of(Prof. H. B Smith, of Tarboro, as superintendent of tbe X iw Bern public schools, tha Board of Trustees of that insti tution have acted most wiacly. Prof. Smith is looked upon as being ope of tha most able educators in the State and there is every reason to believe that his work here will be most satis factory.

SUMMARY OK THE WAR The Crimen campaign a- iiulii.it the Ruaslans is devel- ' opinii another phasr. a violent attack in Russian Poland. At the same time the Ger- mans are pushing back the Russians in the Baltic prov- inces and, with the help of the Austrlans, in Gallcia. An official communication from Petrograd admits that the Germans have occupied . edditfonal villages near Shtvli In tie Baltic iiglon, but sas the Russians regained lost ' ground near Przasnysz. It is in the vicinity of Przasnysz which lies north of Warsaw' that the Germans apparently are making their most d - termined effort on the Polish front, although the fortress of Qssowetz again is being attacked. The Galicla campaign has reached a critical stage, in view of the continued success- si's of the Austrlans und Ger- mans. The Petrograd com- munication says little of the battle along the San, but states the Russians have won some advantage in the fight- ing further south, in the Dniester region. Official advices from the Italian army headquarters represent the Italians as gain- ing advantages all along the front, particularly in the Ad- ige. Valley, which leads to Trent. On the Isonzo front, ' where centers the battle for possession of Triest, Italian" successes also are claimed. The Turkish forces on Gal- llpoli peninsula have taken the offensive. An official statement from Constanti- nople says heavy losses were Inflicted on the French and British, but a London an- nouncement declares the Turks were repulsed in an ' attempt to recapture lost trenches. According to a Constanti- nople report, a Turkish avlat- or has seen a British wurshlp of the type of the Agamem- non aground near the en- trance of the Dardenelles, her deck almost submerged. Of- fit ial denial was made at London yesterday of reports that the Agamemnon had been sunk. EXCELLENT CROPS l ees Chapel Section Highly Fav. ored. Lees Chapel, June 17.

Mr. Wadddl arrived in the city yesterday in search of her missing husband, but was so prostrated with grief over the affair that she could not give any information whieh might lead to his capture other than he was a "heavy set man with a heavy mus ache" and that she has every reason ii U-lievc that he left home w-ith the woman. Mrs. Payne came to her as sistance, and, after a thorough inves tigation, believes that they left here for Ashes i lie, going by the way of Greensboro. Mrs. Waddell left last night for (ireensboro in an -effort to find a more definite trace of her hus band. In case her search is fruitless, she will leave for her daughter's home in Buncombe ccunty. Mrs. Waddell ran a boarding house in North Wilkcsboro. and was perfect ly happy, her husband being most at tentive to her. until a few weeks af,o when a tall, dark complected, dark haired woman, who "dressed hand somely" secured room and board with her. Her husband became quite in fatuated with the woman, it is said. Mrs. Waddell thinks she is originally from Philadelphia, and a short time after both disappeared, Mrs. Waddell saying that 'they had departed with all the money she hail made and hail gone to parts unknown. As a conse- nuencc. Mrs. Waddell svas forced to close her boarding house and was obliged in lease North Wilkcsboro with her hills unpaid.

Ml front the none of the dome of the eapitol yesterday afternoon to the slate roof, 30 to 40 feet below, whew he was trying to aaeend to the flag staff of the building. Pour ribs on the man' right aide are broken and it is possible that he Ii seriously in jured internally. The accident waa witnessed by several hundred persons. "I will be climbing again in a week," he told his physician at the hospital last night, hut added, "I'll never climb, though, when the build ing i wet." Gardner had crawled up one of the large front columns, wriggling along with the ease of a squirrel, bracing his hands and knees in the fluting, after dragging himself over the broad overhanging ledge of the portico eaves, he raced briskly along the ridge pole to the dome base. Hav ing mounted this to the corniced metal work near the summit, he writhed and twisted his lithe body there possibly 15 minutes. Then he lost hi grip and dropped to the slate roof below. The falling man rebound ed from the force of the impact, then dropped back with arms outstretched, blood flowing from his nostrils. A. F. Stainbach, who travels with him, was one of the first to reach his side. Gardner fell at 5:15 o'clock, but it was 5:45 o'clock before he was brought to the ground and rushed in an ambulance to the hospital. The home of the injured man " is at Newport News, Va., where he has a wife and three small children. He is said to have been practicing the dangerous art of scaling tall buildings for 18 years. Yesterday's wis his first fall. The only scar he ever got from climbing was from staggering into a man hole near the base of a building he wasleaving after having mounted its 'walls. Just now Gardner climbs to advertise a new soft drink. As unique as the drop was startling is the pioture which W. L. Blanchaid caught of the man as he fell. The photographer focused his lens when he saw the climber "approaching the treacherous ledge and kept his in strument trained. He was so shocked svhen the man dropped that he didn't realize he had pressed the bulb. Mr. Blanchard regards this as the most remarkable piece of work he has ever done, and doesn't believe he will ever duplicate, it. Bound to Happen Commenting on Gardner's fall the Columbia State has the following td say: ' Yesterday afternoon a large crowd huddled in the rain and watched an athelete crawl like a spider up the sheer' wall leading to the dome of the State capitoll. It was evident from every action that the man was confident of his ability to perform the job, that he was sure of his trade. As he went higher and higher the crowd forgot to thrill, though it still looked on with fascination. After a while the spectacle became boring in its repeti tipns. But still the orowd looked waiting! For what was the crowd waiting? For what it felt in its heart was impossible in the case of this man of skill and surety but which still might happen. On a sudden, it did happen! The steeple-jack, perilously hung practically over a blank wall, lost that necessary grip which would have maintained his balance. He lost him self. He fell. For an instant he was etched in air, a whirling thing in red Against the white background of masonry. The erowd was mute. Here and there a woman gave a feeble shriek The man, falling with the instinctive caution of a cat, landed on the roof. He remained still as wax an out stretched figure, a touch of real trag edy in a trade comedy. And the erowd questioned itself, each man asking his neighbor as the ambulance hurried up and exoited rescuer rushed to the height of the building to find whether Jaok were dead or alive: "I thl on the level, , , , . f) .e EX.GOVESNOI THOMAS J.

Y W. T. lOST) Raleigh, June 17 Collector J. W Bailey who issued a eall to the peo ple of the state recently to assist the Government in the destruction of tbe illicit distilleries talk today of the service that his men have ren- dered and justifies himself in the de- fense which he made recently in ' Washington rsulting in the retention of all hi deputie on the government payroll. v The interview refer to the recent federal court here which resulted in 28 penitentiary sentence and three jail term. Beside these were almost innumerable smaller cases settled by fine. The record were all broken by thie Atlanta prison jam. The rut .majority of the convicts are old whiskey criminals, incorrigi ble whom Bailey' deputies caught after hard work. No Excess Deputies When the department concluded that the Raleigh collector had an overplus, about five were in seats of anxiety. Collector Bailey con vinced the commissioner that North Carolina had no excess of deputies. He was backed by a strong sentiment which readily testifies that Bailey's deputies are not furniture polishers and do more work than even the government exacts. The Raleigh office has no loafers Raleigh insists, and the restoration to the service of the several deputies, though tem porary, will be made permanent if Raleigh people can make it so State -Should Help In the statement today the col lector intimates what the former field deputies often said freely, and that is the relative lack of assistanct that state officers give toward th enforcement of the state's criminal law. Deputy K. W. Merritt often said that sheriffsNhearing the best of reputations, would telephone for him svhen he was 100 miles distant to come to their counties to break up a still about which the officer at home knew every detail. There were just four sheriffs who aided Merritt, he aid, two Democrats and two Re publicans. Collector Bailey com plains of the small work done in the several. counties. . ; ' Warning to Autolsts In the office of the Secretary of State today the chief clerk had re ceived not more than one , third of the new license applications by au tomobile owners nnd the month is well more than half gone. These blanks have been sent out to all owners of machines, the office aays, and the year begins anew July 1. Delay ii applying for reg istration until the last few day of June will result in great congestion both in the postoffice and in the secretary of state' office. More than that, it is said that ap plicants who figure in this vast de lay and congestion will be without the use of their machine until the de partment can catch up with the work and restore the numbers. It will be thp duty of all officer to arrest any per -.on after July 1 who runs hi machine without displaying the new number. The department calls upon the 16,000 owners to send their applica tion in at once Tor the double pro tection and convenience that punct uality will give. Chariman Travis of the Corpora tion commission today ruled for the attorney general upon the time for levying county taxes in. North Caro lina. Mr. Travis hold that there are two days upon which county commis sioners may levy taxes, these date being the first Monday in June' and the first Monday in August. The acts of the last general assembly did not nullify this provision of the Hill law.
