Ex-Senator Marion Huller. in New York, gives out an interview in which he says that he sees success for the Republicans in North Carolina (lur ing the approaching elections. Mar lon has seen that same success loom ing ahead so often that it sounds like history every time that he repeats it. After the election he will again resume his occult demonstration. If the Craven county Board of Commissioners can see their way clear to donate a sum of money to be used in preventing typhoid fdver in this city, we believe that it will prove a paying investment. They now have this matter under consideration and if possible they should act favorably upon it. Somebody around this town is either furnishing a lot of free gasoline or else a bunch of oar owners who owe money to nearly everybody in the city are a bunoh of liars. These men declare that they have no money when called on to pay their bills. Yet they manage to joy ride a good ly portion of every day. Tonight the recently re-elected members of the Board of Aldermen and the one new member will be in ducted into office and will fill the ap pointive offices. Rumor has it that there are to be several changes made and interest in these is rife and this assures the fact that quite a large audience will be on hand to hear and witness the proceedings. The Board plan to do some great work during the approaching term of office and their entire regime will be watched with interest.

Coppage, Vanceboro, N. C CROP REPORTS ARE VERY ENCOURAGING Farmers in Craven, Pamlico and Carteret Are Optimistic Leading farmers from several ase- of Craven. Carteret and Pam lico count who have beea ia New era this week have been interview ed ia regard to crop conditions in these sections and their reports are most glowing. Pamlico county has had a record breaking season in its Irish potato crop and hundreds of carloads of the tubers have been sold. Carteret county has done well with the. potato also and suth cabbage and Craven has had large crops of both. In speaking of the probable amount of cotton that will be taken from the fields, it is the general as sertion of the farmers that the crop this season will be at least twenty five per cent smaller than that of last year. Much of the land that was last year put in the fleecy staple has this year been devoted to the growing of tobacco and the indica tions are that the crop this year will be the largest in the history of these three counties. Anticipating this, a new tobacco warehouse is being erected here to take care of the in creased business and to give the far mers ample market facilities. Adjutant General Lawrenoe W.

ONCE AGAIN THE 1NNESSESJNDICTED Now Charged With Using the Mails to De fraud Atlanta, July 6 Victor E. Innes nml Vita u ifn jf r"u lln Innna witr n iiini 1 1 1 -i niii, .ii in. s 'lit tu iKim ii'' v in jail in San Antonio fighting extradi tion to Georgia were indicted today by the United States Grand jury in the Federal building ' on a charge of using the mails to defraud Mrs. Eloise Nel ms Denuis. Warrants were drawn and placed with tho marshal's office and will be sent at once to Texas to be served. Several days last week the Grand Jury heard from Mrs. John W. Nelms, mother of the missing girls, Beatrice and Eloise. This evidence had been in the possession of the authorities for months, but until now was never put in the proper shape for action. It concerns certain letters alleged to have been written by Innes to Mrs. Dennis asking for money for fraud ulent investment. These letters are said to have been seen by witnesses, but have di sappeared, and because of the fact that they could not lie found the Government was slow to proceed. Tho indictments mean that after the Georgia State charge of larceny after trust is disposed of the Innessos oan be handled in the Federal Court, provided they are defeated in their fight for a writ of habeas corpus be fore the United States Supreme Court and do not fight extradition under tho new charge. Innes and his wife wore indicted by the Fulton County Grand Jury on a charge of larceny after trust in handling funds of Mrs. Den nis. They applied to the Texas Su preme Court for a habeas corpus writ, but the petition was denied. Simi larly the Texas Court of Appeals de nied the petition, and it was carried to the United States Supreme Court, which adjourned without deciding and will not meet again until October In the meantime tho Innesses ap pealed to the Federal Supreme Court for a special hearing to obtain bail. The court refused bail and the pair must stay indefinitely in jail. A cape charging murder, filed in the Texas courts, was nolle pressed for want of evidence, and attention was turned to the Georgia case charging larceny after trust. Now the authori ties will make every effort to bring Innes and his wife to Atlanta under the latest charge agai nst them. Mrs. Nelms and her son, Marshall Nelms, worked several months with the postoffloe inspectors and the De partment of Justice before sho was successful in getting the mutter bo fore tho Grand Jury.
