hand ; and speak a few words with
him.
The speaker treated the adminis
tration's Mexican policy elaborately,
declaring that the stranger , had no
right to step on the other's ' premises
for the purpose of exploiting it. Mr
Cranmer does not think the Ameri
can army, tne flower of the coun
try, should be sent into Mexico to
guard interests of a few moneyed
men who have invested there in an
effort to reap fabulous returns. Mr.
Wilson's policy toward our southern
neighbor was the right policy; any
other would not have sufficed,
according to the speaker.
He spoke at length on the fisher
ies of Eastern Carolina, declaring
that they were equally as valuable
if not more so than the, mineral de
posits in the western part of the
State, and he told his audience that
he would look after these fisheries
when he went to the Senate. He
urged all to rally to the support of
Democracy in the coming test , and
to see that Democracy was again
triumphant over the common foe
Republicanism. In closing he urged
tne people not to forget the four pro
posed amendments to the State con
stitution which they will have the

ly serious problem! The cotton and

CRAVEN SUPERIOR
COURT CLOSES TODAY
New Bern, Oct. 7. In Craven Su
perior Court this afternoon Mr. J. R.
Dudley, a resident of the Vanceboro
section of the county, is suing the
John L. Roper Lumber Company for
damages for filling up a ditch on his
land by constructing a tram road
across the same, causing it to over
flow and sour the soil.
The damage is said to haye been
done on or about August, 1914, and
he claims that his crops were ruin
ed. The land in question is between
Vanceboro and Neuse river and the
ditch in question is known as Dud
ley's canal.
Mr. Dudley claims that when the
road was built the constructors
placed crossties in the canal for sup
ports to the bridge and tbese stopped
up the canal. Mr. Dudley claims that
he spoke to the foreman about the
matter and the latter told him that
his company was able to pay for any
damage done.
In addition to placing the crossties
in the canal, Mr. Dudley claims that
they drove their mules and horses
into it for the purpose of watering
them and this leveled the sides of
it down and caused the dirt to block
against the supports.
Mr. E. M. Green is appearing in
the case in behalf of Mr. Dudley and
Messrs. Moore and Dunn are looking
after the interests of the defendant
company.
If this case is concluded this after
noon .which is probable, the first half
of a two weeks term of Craven Su
perior Court wjll come to a close.
A jury in Craven County Superior
Court this morning decided that Mr.
J. M. Arnold, of the Vanceboro sec
tion of the county, was due $200 dam
ages which he claims was done to
his property by the Norfolk Southern
Railway company, and awarded him
this amomit. j ' . -
Mr. 1 Arnold was suing for $4,000,
claiming v that his land, had been in
jured to -that extent. The case was.
given to the jury at 11:10 o'clock and
forty-five minutes later they returned
a verdicfc?f i -
i hands, and the movement continues,"
said Congressman S. Hurbert Bent, of
the Montgomery, Alabama, district, in
discussing the situation today.
Mr. Dent was elected by the House
of Representatives in the closing hours
of its last session as Chairman of the
Military Affairs Committee to succeed
Chairman James Hey of Virginia,, who
was appointed by President Wilson as
Judge of the Court of Claims.
"Agents from the Korth looking for
laborers hare been active and some
what effective," continued Mr. Dent.
"Considerable bodies,' numbering sev
eral thousands, have left us this year.
We could stand it well in time and fill
their places with other labor, but the
worst consequence of it is that the
great bulk of the labor that goes North
is soon dissatisfied. The negro la
borer has a narrow path to travel in
the Northern States, and he quickly
realizes that his opportunities are not
as numerous for employment in the
North, where he is not understood, as
in the South where we understand him.
The result is that wnen tney come
back, as most of them do, they are
! poverty-stricken and impose a - new
burden on the community until they
can recoup their scattered little for
tunes." That the inadvisability of going
North is realized by the better ele
ment of the thinking negroes is evi
denced by a letter Congressman Dent
showed from Dr. F. C. Coffey, a ne
gro physician of Montgomery, in which
the writer said that on Septem
ber 24th, 1,000 men and boys left
Montgomery for Northern and Eastern
cities.: Dr. Caffey in the letter ex
pressed regret that people of his race
were leaving the South and asked If
there was not some way he could be
commissioned by the government to go
through the South and plead with his
people to remain where they are.
His letter to Mr. Dent read in part:
"I would like for you to have me
speak throughout the South to my
people on why they should not emi
grate to the Northern and Eastern
States. I have been going to New
York for 27 y$ars every summer but
one, and I am a taxpayer on Manhat
tan Island. I feel I am better pre
pared than any negro in the South to
tell them what they may expect. If
something is not done very soon, the
flower of the South's farm' labor will
be gone . One thousand men and boys
left here last Sunday night for Eastern
and Northern cities . ,Y6tf can judge
from this that some action should be
taken at once. I would gladly give up
tny practice and-talk with them and
show them what a seriods mistake they
are making." s

tnat mignt come Dr. Carrey's proposal
cannot see his way ciear torfiave Gafc
