It sweet- ens all our cares, dispels all our sorrows, and counsels us In all extremities. Now. if there were no other comfort in it than the base exercise of so generous a virtue even for that single reason a man would not be without its it is a soverign antidote against all calamities even against the fear of death iteslf. Seneca. Too much credit can be traced back as the cause of many a man's downfall. No, Geraldine, just because a young woman is interested in pyro graphy is no reason that she is fond of pie. Reports from Boston are to the effect that a bean famine in immi nent in that city. Sort of a case of nota bene. "All is not gold that glitters" raved the philosopher. Naw, and every time you see some fellow dolled up in the latest togs that is no rea son that they are paid for. The Virginia wife who entered suit for divorce after twenty-two years of married life on the grounds that her husband had given her only two dresses in this period, certainly could not be accused of acting hastily in jumping into the courts. Those chaps who are anxious to see a real battle don't have to go to Europe to get a glimpse of such. Instead go home with some New Bern man who is taking a stranger to dinner and who has not before hand warned the wife of the approach ing visit. We talk in caustic terms about the way the English are censoring the news. Yet, it is done right here in' the good old U. S. A. for instance, who remembers reading an account of the bringing to the surface the United States submarine that went to the bottom a few weeks ago with a score of more men on board? Fact of the matter is, the details were too harrowing to be given too much pub licity. The Southern Railway Company has just compiled a list of the auto mobile accidents occurring at rail way crossings in six states, North Carolina included, and this shows that during the past year there were sixty-nine of these and North Caro lina heads the list with twenty-seven while'her nearest competitor is South Carolina with fourteen. Such a con dition as this shows one of two things, either the autoinobilists in North Carolina are more reckless than those of other states, or the railroad is not observing the proper precaution to protect their crossings and, as the railway company knows that it will be subject to suit in case of an accident that can be laid to their negligence, it is not imprJper to as sume that in the majority of cases the accidents were due, at least in part, to the carelessness of the drivers of the machines. Until automobile drivers make up their mind to obey traffic laws and to be careful, this toll of human life will go on and on for time everlasting. New Bern is not a small city by any means and many are of the op inion that its police force is tco small. However, the Aldermen are of th opinion that the city is not in pos' tion to enlarge it at tbe present tim aad in consequence a great amount of work falls on the men who now constitute the force and to do this properly means that they have to be constantly on the go. When one sits down and considers that three po- Hmn watch over tbe welfare of fifteen thousand New Hermans every night, then it can be understood just what they have to do and it can be seen that they must keep on the go. To make New Barn's po Uee department perfect there mui he some system, some given se of rules and these must be observed aad in ease of flagrant and frequent violation of these rules the offender should ha suspended.

Nov Baa win at a a awjer a saber of WILLIE BELL PAYS THE DEATH PENALTY Colored Man From Durham Electrocuted Yesterday t Raleigh Raleigh. July 8 Willie BU. the lrtt person to die in the electric chair on any other day but Friday, paid the penalty today at 1:30 for the murder of B. N. Mann, a Durham merchant. Bell, colored, is from Durham. He was sentenced by Judge Charles M. Cooke the latter part of May. Assembled in the death charubir there was the usual curious crowd. The prisoner, at tin appointed hour, was brought in by Warden T. P. Sale, after the necessary arrange ments had been made, such as test ing the current. The Rev. James Satterthwaite, rector of St. Ambrose Episcopal church, who had been his . . . . l . j spiritual adviser uuring me nays oi waiting, accompanied Bell, saying the service as the end drew near. There was the usual anxiety on the part of the spectators a spirit of expectancy, which was to have its culminating in a nauseating climax. When the last of the death-dealing current had been sent through the victim's body, he was pronounced dead and taken out to be prepared for burial. Bell confessed in Durham before he was sentenced a nd the aeeompany-i-ne remarks assumed the propor tions of a warning to the members of the younger gen 'ration. He asid ha waft sorrv to have brought his county into the limelight by making it necessary' for a man from that county to die in the chair for mur der, but declared that, his deed should serve as a severe warning again man taking man's life under any circumstances. The evidence during the trial be sides the testimony by the coroner and the physician that attended Mr. Mann, Bell's victim, w that Bell before his arrest had admitted the crime. Ed. Bumpass proved the star witness for the state, his tes timony including an alleged confes sion or Bell. Bell followed the state's witnesses and told of the kill ing of the merchant. He said that- he was in need of money for medicine, but that he had no idea of killing Mr. Mann. His evidence was practically the same as his con fession. During his confinement in the death cell at the state prison, where the electrocution occurred today, Bell proved a very good prisoner. He was in frequent companionship with his minister, who taught him that al though the way of the transgressor is hard, the church says that the sins of men are forgiven through belief. Bell was to have died the latter part of June, but his sentence was changed in order that he might have time to see his brother who was serving on the public roads. JUDGE CONNOR ISSUES AN ORDER . in ire Henrv U. C onnor has is sued an order giving all owners of the property condemned at Cape Lookout until August the second to file an objection to the findings of the committee appointed to con demn the property.

Papers have been s rved on James and will be served on Till man tonight.

This article, says Mr. Tillman, in no way concerns Mr. James and fnrther than that tha latter is a friend, the newspaper man is at a loss fo know why he is included in the action.

Mathews, a young man, living at No. 7 West Clay street, attempt ed suicide at his home yesterday afternoon shortly after 2 o'clock, by taking a large dose of carbolic acid. The city ambulance was hastily summoned. At the time of the call the ambulance was in South Rich mond, attending a sick man, and the police patrol wagon was called into service. Officers Hooker and Warri ner went along and were of material service to the doctor, for the would-be suicide put up a strong fight. This man is primarily responsible for the accident which occurred at Seventh and Clay streets a few min utes later. Had the call to attend him not been sent out, the patrol wagon would not have been on the scene. Heroic measures were resorted to by the physicians at the Virginia Hos pital, and it was reported last night that Mathews had good chances of recovery. "You needn't bother ahout saving me,"' said Mathews at the hospital last night. "The first chance I get. I will take some more poison. Ill-health and despondency is said to have been the cause of the man's attempt upon his life.

"We were ealled visionary then; today we are honored as prophets of a new era, for now millions of people are fully persuaded that by 1920 tbe legalized liquor traffic will be a black memory of a barbarous past. "Two years ago in Los Angeles a definite program for aggressive ac tion against the saloon was present ed to the Christian Endeavors of North America. Tbe Chicago conven tion will emphasise and amplify the program along progressive, construc tive lines. "But today assembled as we are n a world convention, shall we not take the far vision the vision that knows no lines of state or country ?

Tragedy Occurred Yesterday Near Way cross, Ga. Waycros8, July 8 Trying to pre vent W.

Henry Inman, who ac companied him to Griffin's home, wa? probably fatally wounded, and Mhs inman received wounds that make her recovery doubtful. Griffin was shot once by Henry In man, but it was probably a slight wound, as he made his escape and has not been located. The Inman girl is attractive. She is 19 years old. She went to the Griffin home yesterday. Just when the couple planned to elope is not known. Mrs. Griffin slated that everything possible was dono to break up her husband's infatuation which began a year ago.

The Griffin and Inman families are among the most prominent of the county. THUNDER STORM STRIKES NEW BERN Wind and Rain Galore, But No Damage Was Done New Bern yesterday afternoon got the tail end of the storm which swept over the West on the previous night. Shortly before 6 o'clock threatening clouds began to eat her and thse were indeed ominous in appearance. A little later came the deluge accom panied by considerable wind. So far as is known no damage was done. Reports from Kinston and other towns between New Bern and that city were to the effect that the down pour had also struck those places The most striking thing in connec tion with the storm was the appear anoe of the clouds after the rain had ceased. The whole sky was color ed a "sickly" green and tbe appear ance was far from pleating. New Bern has so far had its share of tha storms that have visited this section daring the summer but so far no damage has been done by them. Last year there were lest than half a dozen real bad thunder storms while in the previous year, the year of the storm and flood, they were of fie- quent occurence.

New York. July 8. Frank Holt's last warning1 which was voiced by his wife while he lay a sui cide and which was to the effect that a steamship would sink at aea en July 7th, was followed b an explosion on hoard of the British liner Minnehaha, heavily laden with war munitions and other Infamable materials, Ave hundred and seventy miles south east of Halifax yeaterday. The newt of the explosion and the fire was received here today In the following wireless front Captain Clareti "The fire was caused by an explosion and is under control with steam. Much smoke In hold. Deem it expe dient to make Halifax. Due off Chebutco Head about 9 o'clock on Friday mornind. . Advise ad ents." No Passenders The Minnehaha carried no pass engers. ... She had a crew of approxi mately one hundred. Captain Claret had undoubtedly caught the wire less warning sent the liners Saxonia or the Philadelphia concerning Holt Hold No. 3 was where the fire start ed and according to line officials this did not contain any explosive material. That the fire broke out there adds strength to the suspicion that there was an infernal machine aboard. The C:n:(!::n Ml i-ifie Prnnrtmen! was prepared to smd a government vessel to assist in aiding the Minne haha. Sailed Sunday The Minnehaha sailed for London last Sunday. Holt made his attempt on the life of J. P. Morgan on the previous day. He would have had plenty of time to place the bomb aboard the ship. The Minnehaha was requisitioned by the British Qoveruient at the beginning of the war and. was re leased for general freight service two months ago. Since her release she has made two trans-Atlantic trips carrying each time a cargo of munitions of war.

Wctherington Now Has Different View of This Law In an interview with a Journal reporter a few di ys ago, J. E. Well ington, a prominent farmer of Jas per, stated that the reason that he was so bitterly opposed to fhe pro posed stock law, was because he had been informed by his brother-in-law, that everybody would have to fence in their cleared land, build a concrete house to keep tbe stock in, have his hogs dipped every eight days and pay a man one dollar per head for dipping them. Mr. Wethcrington was under -the impression that this was absolutely torrect for his brother fold MW tBat he got his information from a very prominent New Bern attorney. "Be lieving this, Mr. Wethcrington, or any one else, would naturally be opposed to the stock . law, but after being informed as to what this law would mean to him and all other Craven county farmers, Mr. Weth erington stated that it put another light on the subject and that he would carefully consider the proposition b fore casting his vote against it.
