Well, if we can get all the rest of the scrappers facing some sort of a dilemma we may rest assured mat, tne end or tne war is not ..far hence. The Bndgeton correspondent of tto Journal is responsible for the statement that his town is about to to corrupted by the tongue of scan dal. The town has our sympathy for in a small place like that, scandal will come about as near putting A 1 ... out 01 ousiness as anytning that we know of. That the Republican stand-pat newspapers have a grouchy look these days, is the opinion of the News and Observer. Seems to us that they have had it for a long long time and in dications now are that they will keep right on having it. ymery: u a spool of cotton now costs $2.25 in Mexico, what would it ooat to make a bathing suit for some vivacious senorita who frequented the beaches, considering of course that the suit was made from spools cotton. The Washington News urges it oauoo w cut out tne iront or u other words to live within their means. There are a lot of merchants in New Bern and other cities also, who would like to see this suggestion put into effect. The News and Observer says that a Brooklyn, N. Y., man died a few days ago and left all of his money to his relatives and, in order to get even with his wife, left her nothing but best wishes. Well, if he was going to get even at all it seems to us that it was about time that he got busy. A leading tobacconist told us yes terday that there is every probability that three million dollars will be turn ed loose in this section during the next few months by the buyers. Think of it. Three miUion dollars, enough to give every one of the fif teen thousand men, women and child ren in New Bern two hundred dol lart each. Prosperity is indeed look ing nt square in the face and greet ing us. We expect to hear that the Czar ordered a national holiday over the success of his fleet in the bav of Ri Ten of the German ships went to ivy Jonet locker in this battle and hundreds of men were killed and tak en prisoners. Our advice to Kizer Bill is to do his fighting on land for on the sea he is not even a little bit It appears to us as if the Geor gia officials don't want to bother the lynohors of Leo Frank. The plea that they cannot find the men who did tto deed teems to be pretty flimsy after all the newspapers have carried acoounts of the lynching from eye witnesses. However, we believe that if any action is taken, that the whole mob should be roped in and ?ougin(,( out one poor, unfortunate individ ual and make him bear the brunt o tto affair as was done in Western North Carolina a few veari am a news item issiissu in WIS issue of the Journal, tells of tto fact that a postofflee inspector is investigat ing a ease wherein a six-year-old toy robbed the postofflee at Cove City.

Notice was given of the assessment by the eommis- sioners and all who wished to file exceptions were ordered to do so. While a number have tiled papers to the effect that this amount is not enough, there are quite a few who have accepted the decision of these men. TOBACCO BOARD OF TRADE ORGANIZED T. T. Penn at the Head of This New Organ ization In order that the tobae who bring their weed to market might be benefit t growers the local and b assured of getting the very hi treatment and the highest prices st ll all times, a Tobacco Board of Trade, composed of all of the tobacco buyers and the owners of the local ware houses was yesterday organized here with J.

Concerning 1 ho probable amount of weed to be sold here this season, President Penn stated yes terday that a million and a half dollars were turned loose here last year and that there was every reason to believe that the sales this year would bring in at least three million dollars.

M la ana of tto toBac motioB picture tl of tie aity Saturday Bight hundreds were watching tto adventures of the film toru snd heroine a incident after incident chased eaeh other across tto canvas that faced them. Iu stolid site nee they sat, wearing "that station picture face" which is surprised at nothing. But they were destined to discard that expression ra a few moments. Into tto theatre came a man and his wife. They made their way down the aisle it the darkness and finally located stats, but they were not to gether. The man, evidently the hu band, sat across the aisle from his wife, who took a seat by a young man. All was well for a few minutes Suddenly the lady gathered herself together and dealt the young man a resounding Mow on the cheek. "Pop" or swat" or something like that was the way it sounded. Persons sitting near thought it was some kind of a new game, but the lady showed she was in deadly earnest by rising to her feet anil dealing two more blows that sounded loud to the auditors and must have -ounded like the crack of doom to the young man who was the recipient. Whether he had turned the other cheek is not known, but it was turned for him. "I'll teach you better than to insult a lady," exclaimed his assailant. By this time the woman's husband was by her side and berating the outh, "This is a pretty come-off when a man can '1 bring his wife to see a picture without being insulted. You must be guilty or you would he fight ing back or saying something." But the young man, who was well dressed, was silent in at least eight languages'. Three girls who were sitting on the row behind the couple, rustled to their feet, spread their pinions like frightened birds and flitted swiftly through the front door. Tho man and his wife strode out and again si lence reigned. In a few moments they returned with the manager, es corted him to the offending young fellow and exclaimed, "There's the man." He was led forth, Xo report of the affair was made to police headquarters, and the names of none of the persons were learned. But it was a scene not on the "fillum" and it won several sure-enough gasps from blaae theatregoers. MUCH COTTON WAS GROWN HERE The Yield in Craven County Larger Than Was Expected Regardless of the fact that the acreage was considerably cut, the cotton crop in Craven and adjoining counties has boon remarkably large, and this will soon begin coming into the market. Regardless of tho fact that the price is not all that could be desired, growers of tho cotton are most optimistic, believing that the price they receive will bo sufficient to pay for the making of tho crop and also give them a profit. The tobacco crop has proven to be a success and this weed is bringing good prices on the markets here. In fact, better prices, considering the grades, than the farmers expected. This, combined with the cotton crop has encouraged the farmers and the businoss men and there is but little talk of "hard times." MAY PROSECUTE SIX YEAR OLD BOY Lad Charged With Breaking Into Cove City Post Office Whether the government can or will prosecute a six-year-old boy and if he is found guilty of a serious crime what will be done with him, is a question that is attracting con siderable attention around Cove City just at this time. A few weeks ago. so it is claimed, six-year-old Walter White, entered the postofflee at that place and departed with thirty-five dollars. After the theft was discov ered a search for the money was in stituted and thirteen dollars of the thirty-five were found, the remainder having been spent for oandy and "pop". Tto matter has been turn ed over to postofflee inspector L. T. Yarborough for investigation and to be acted upon. Whether the lad will be placed under arrest remains to be seen aa does also the probable penalty to be placed upon him in ease he is found guilty and sentence passed upon him. A REGULAR FLNOLOGIST , (Ntwt and Observer) The New Bern Journal's view of V, Whorter it Mated thus: "Tto New and Observer want to know whether old man Vie Huerta it a humorist.

BROKER WINS LONG BATTLE WITH DRINK RctRgrti Position on Chicago Board Trade Got Help ing Hand at Right Time Chicago, Aug. J3 Bdward Wilham Wfd lo memU-nhip of Trade yesterday Be will act as principal eorn trader tor tto firm af Logan A Bryan. In this news announcement lies the story of a man who, to use hi own words ''tobogganed to hell" and then was able, through the aid of a kindly helping hand at tto right moment, to take his place again as a respected member of society. Because Flannagan bolieves hi is an experience by which others can profit he consented, in spite of his per sonal reluctance, to allow the history os his fall and regeneration to be pub lished. Lost All By Drink How he lost bis wife, his baby, his fortune, self-respect and friends through drink, and how he regained all that he lost, follow in his own words: "I owe more than my life to one man," he said. "That man is 8tuart Logan. And before I go on let me say that I have not touched a drop of liquor in five years and I will part with my right arm before I will touoh it again. "I was a Chicago boy and in 1890, at the age of thirteen, I entered the firm I am now with. I went with it as a messenger boy. I loved the life of a trader, worked hard and my rise was rapid. At the age of twenty-three I was elected to membership on the Board of Trade and became the prin ciapl wheat buyer for Logan & Bryan "1 made money and invested it wise ly, but during this time I contracted the drink habit and made the friends that later led to my going to the very depths. I had married and had a lov ing wife and wonderful little baby girl. I had everything, it seemed, to make a man completely happy, but I drank harder and harder. All His Friends Drank "I did not do this deliberately. I love conviviality, and all my friends drank. I liked to be with good fel lows, and any one who stood at a bar with me was my friend. "Finally, about ten years ago, 1 felt that 1 had made enough money to re tire. I did retire from active busi ness, but not from the drink. The money, of which I thought I had plenty, slipped through my fingers like water. One by one my investments vanished, and then to cap the climax my wife took our baby and left me I had grown too bestial to live with any longer, But still I did not stop drinking. I seemed to be incapable of seeing what was happening to me "At last my money was all gone and I had but one thirtg of value left. This I literally sold for a glass of whiskey, for I drank up the proceeds. "At this period I reached the lowest stage of degradation, I avoided my old friends and you may be sure they avoided mo. I had lost even my self speet. "One day I was standing at the cor ner of State and Van Buren Streets, shaky and nervous from the booze, but with intellect enough left dimly to realize my pitable plight. While standing there, for the first time in five years, looking myself in the face I encountered the man of all men I did not want to see. It was Stuart Logan, my former boss and stanch friend. I lowered my head with shame expecting him to pass me by. Instead to my astonishment, he greeted me with the same old-time warm hand shake, asked kindly about myself. Turnlnd Point Conies " 'Come in and see me tomorrow Billy, he said, 'and we'll talk things over. "I did. I don't know where I found the nerve, to do it, but I went to see him as J promised. The outcome of that talk was that he gave me t job and I started out again, but you may be sure I did not drink. "And then things commenced to happen the other way. my wife came back to me when she saw I was trying to do right. I established a little home again just as we did when we were 'kinds.' I have saved my money, and now, just think of it, I have been elected to the Board of Trade again. "Whiskey stoje tep years out of the prime of my hfe. I am thirty-eight years od.

CANCE IN RATES AFFECTS MANY Some Material Innovations to Be Made by Express Companies New Barn patrons aad others throughout the State will be interest ed in the vary important changes that tore just tot announced by the Interstate Commerce Commission in express regulations just approved which will become effective October 1. Tto commission has approved a change in express rules to authorise tto acceptance of C. O. D. packages bearing instructions to permit the consignee to examine them for a trial period not exceeding six days, during which time the express company is to hold the money collected. If the shipment is not returned to the car rier at the expiration of the period named in the instructions the pro ceeds will be transmitted to the ship per. The present classification authorises agents to accept shipments bearing instructions to permit examination and selection, provided the carrier is released from all loss incident to such examination. The change will require a release only when the shipper in structs the carrier to hold the money pending trial examination off the car rier's premises. The new rule will facilitate the sale of merchandise to out-of-town patrons of the shipper. The commission also approved a change in the rules authorising the acceptance and forwarding of adver tisements, N. 0. S., under a guaran tee that the transportation charges will be paid. The classification now requires prepayment of charges. The commission approved the change in rules providing for the ap plication of the daily newspaper rat ing to parts of dailies which may be forwarded a day or two in advance of the date of the issue of which they are a part. It appears that supple ments to Sunday papers are, for con venience to both the publishers and express companies, forwarded on Sat urday and sometimes on Friday. Un der the present classification a higher rate applies to newspaper supplements than to daily newspapers. The chang. will reduce the ruling on suppleireni that are shipped not to exceed 48 hours in advance of the isBue Another change which has been ap proved will liberalize the packing re quirements of paintings and pictun when the value does not exceed $10 Pictures will also be given the "valu ation charges." The present rule the express oompanies is to charge fo valuation applicable to paintings and statuary the value of which exceed $550, but does not mention pictures although elsewhere in the olassifioa tion reference to that rule and para graph is made for the charge on the value of pictures when it is greater han J55u lhe commission approved the change providing that when beer and ale shipped in barrels, kegs or cases is packed in ice, 20 per cent will be add ed to the present estimated weight Other Changes Other changes approved were as f,ol (1) To cancel the estimated weight; named for shipments in refrigerators and to establish new estimated weights on berries to be applied to so-called r lorida refrigerators. (2) That eggs will not be accepted when packed in orange, lemon, shoe or other miscellaneous boxes or in standard carriers which are too frail to stand transportation; that the stan dard case must be made of hardwood of certain specified dimensions; that cases which have been used must have straps of iron, wire, or wood on the sides and bottom at each, end; mac certain character of paoking ma terial must be used, and that oarriers containing second hand fillers other man oi moiaed pulp board may not be used. The purpose of these changes is to reduce losses resulting from breakages and it appears that the re quirements are substantially similar to those published in freight classifica tions. It was testified that the rules have the approval of egg receiving nouses in New York City. (d; l-mery wheels must be inclosed in wood and packed in straw, excel sior or other cushioning material. (4) The rules will state more de finitely the application of the mini mum charge of 49 cents on ice cream. (5) When poultry does not exceed 25 cents a pound in value, including the weight of the coop, the second ohtss rate will apply, and when the value exoeeds that figure the rating will bp one and one-half times first class. (6) Domestic wines will be exempt from the minimum charges proposed .or liquor. The commission denied the applier? tjon for permission to change tit classification on live rabbits and guinea pigs and to increase the ratings on luaiieresses.

STOCK LAW ELECTION IS WISELY CALLED Tto peep, af of Orva county on tb Nr.-, r'-r ask (or at question af stack tow aw. The question of toJIdisa fsssswi and a stock law territory ha reversed from what it f m mi Ij Tto tax payer in stock law territory formerly constructed tto outside fence around the stock law district, but tai mailer ha been kswertad by our Sunrasae Court. aad the man in the adjoining free range must pay tto fasten tax in stead of the section which goes into stock tow. We beKeve tto Supreme Court ha very properly aad justly said that, if the people in a certain territory agree to have stock tow and free their territory from ticks, the man in the free range shall not allow his cattle to roam at will in stock law territory, and therefore the free range must pay the tax for the outside fence. Now I have called attention to this fact to show that if the present proposition for stock law is carried no taxes will be ;ol)cted from any one in Craven county to build the fence. Neuse river from the Carteret county line to the Lenoir county line will serve as a lawful fence, therefore no one in No.'s 1, and 2, townships will be asked for taxes to build the fenoe the people of Carteret county will have to build the fence on the line between Carteret and Craven, and the people of Jones county will have to build the fence from Carteret to Lenoir, a distance of about sixty miles. Therefore you can readily ''ee that if the south side of Neuse -iver in Craven county votes stock law no property in Craven county will be required to pay any fence tax for the same, that Carteret and Jones will have to bear all the fence tax.

The simple act of snatching a hat from a man's head led up to a fight that resulted iu the killing of Herbert Miller, a young North Carolina negro, by John Zambelis, the Greek proprietor of a cook shop at 704 Water street last night shortly before 7 o'clock. Miller was shot four times by the Greek with a revolver. Zambelis was arrested immediate ly following the shooting by Polioe Sergeant W. A. Boggs, charged with felonious shooting. The colored boy died on the way to the hospital, and the charge against Zambelis was changed to that of murder. Anas tasius Lucas, ab 18-year-old Greek bo V. W&R arrested n u on ani,au,n.,i to the murder. MiJcf and a companion entered the cook shop of Zambelis and Miller pur chased a lunch from the Lucas boy. As he was leaving the place, according to witnesses, Zambelis snatched Mil ler's cap from his head. Miller re-entered the shop and demanded his cap, and when the Greek refused to give it to him Miller is said to have struck him with a walking stick. The Luoas bqy is said to have got the pistol from a shelf and brought it to Zambelis. As soon a the Greek got the gun in his possession, he is said to have startrfd firing at the negro. Miller, it is said, flung a beer bottle at the Greek. One bullet struck Miller in the right side; another entered the back of his head. Walking from the shop, Miller re marked that he was shot, and col lapsed. The police patrol was sum moned and the injured man was car ried to St. Vincent's hospital.
