Putting "eyes" in "blind" Swiss cheese is the latest achievement of the dairy experts of the United States Department of Agriculture. Pretty soon they will be putting voices into dumb bells. "Sentiment Stronir for Wilson in the West" avers a headline in the Charlotte Observer. Huh! That's nothing new. The same thing wi be found at all points on the compasi And now the ship bearing Dr Dernberg back to his beloved Ger many has been detained enroute. Another chance for the champion Teuton explainer to get i n some goor work. The California date line has been much in evidence during the past few davs. However, it is safe to say that the sort of news going out under it it not the sort that tickles the palatt of the managers of the big show now going on i n that state. The more searching becomes th nvestigation i n regard to the stealing f examination papers at Annapolis, the more startling becomes the disclos ure. If it keeps on the invesigators 11 probably find that there was not honest student in the entire cademv. At the hearing now being held as to the sanity of Harry K. Thaw, thirteen persons stated that they felt sure he was tame enough to be turned loose. Its a mighty unlucky number to conjure, that thirteen, but it may be that it will do the work that Thaw is hoping it will. Secretary Daniels of the Navy Department is planning to visit Morohead City early in July and thai town is preparing to give the head of the navy a rousing big welcome. A lot of yaps are making fun, or trying to, of Josephus (men who do things are always ridiculed) but the fact remains that orth Carolina is proud of him and is always ready to honor him whenever the occasion arises. While those towns in Western North Carolina are wrangling about "white ways" they should send a representative down to New Bern to see what we have in this line. New Bern has a "white way" on every principal street and, while there are a few dark streets, they are about as scarce as the proverbial hen teeth. We can, in fact, boast of one of the best illuminated cities in the State. Our continued reference to the muzzljng of dogs allowed to run at large around the streets of New Bern may become monotonous, but we in tend to keep harping along this line until every canine in New Bern is wearing some sort of a protector across the slit in his face. As we have stated before, there are hundreds of dogs which are allowed to run at large in this city every day in the year and they are n menace to the public. It would cost every owner but a small sum to put a muzzle on then animals and this would prove of real advantage, especially to those who might, otherwise, feel the teeth of one of the animals rinking in his flesh.

Baines. a member of the of Baines Brothers, propns of the Dill Tobacco ware ho u, tors has returned from Warsaw where he spend the winter and will begin making preparations for the open ing of the market which will be during the first part of August. Mr. Baines stated to a Journal reporter yesterday that he has been in touch with tobacco men in various parts of Eastern North Carolina, and from all reports the quality of the tobacco this year will be infer ior to that grown lat year. Mr, Baines attributes the poor quality to the cold spell whieh lasted for about ten days during the first part of thjs month. He said that the weed was stunned and would neces sarily have to be topped lower and this will cause it to be of a coarse grade. He said that the acreage in this section had been increased consid erabiy over the amount grown last year and is of the opinion that the cold spell dik less damage in this immediate section than it did fur ther west.

An alligator measuring 10 1-2 feet was killed here Thursday, in the river immediately in front of the town. It is very seldom that an alligator gets this far down the river, as salt water is detrimental to their health, and makes them cross. But farther up, where the water is fresh, they thrive to perfection, growing to such old age as would mako Methuselah seem an infant in comparison. Swansboro is becoming so widely known and advertised as a health and pleasure resort, that we imagine this giant saurian, feeling the decrepi tude of old age steajing upon him, do eiUed to pay us a visit, with the hope, probably, of finding a fountain of youth down here, which would renew his vigor and lubricate his rusty joints.
