The Washington correspondent of the
Industrial News gives that paper a fin
ancial ' statement of the business ' done
by North Carolina post offies last year,
They - all show a substantial gain and
the New Bern office takes a leading
place among those doing over a $10,000
business. These figures show the bush-'
ness done up to June 30, the end of the
fiscal year. -The gain as reported by
Postmaster Hancocks more than 15 per
cent over the previous year..
Following Is the statement in the
Industrial News
The Charlotte post office is ahead of
all others in North Carolina in a busi
ness way. The receipts of the Queen
City office amounted to $82,308 last
year, while the Wilmington office,
which was Second in this industrial
race, collected a total of $71,394.
These figures are obtained from the
annual report of the Postmaster Genei-
al for the fiscal year just ending, ar.d
reflect the industrial development of
the cities and .towns in the State. Ra'
eigh takes rank with receipts totaling
$63,076, Winston-Salem fourth, with re
ceipts aggregating $61,356, and Greens
boro fifth, with receipts' amounting to
$53,394.
There are 19 post offices, in the State
vrith receipts in exeess of $10,000. They
are as follows: Asheville, $46,941;
Durham$24,454: High Point. $19,921:
NeW Bern, $16,778; Salisbury, $16,539;
Goldsboro, $16,596; Fayetteville, $14,-

lar mark.

Successor to Archbishop Chapelle.
New Orleans, Nov. 27 The question
of a successor to the late Archbishop
Chapelle of New Orleans, who died of
yellow fever during the early stage of
the epidemic, will be decided here in
the eecond week in December, when
the convocation of bishops of the prov
ince and priests of the archdiocese will
be held. It is stated on apparently
good authority (hat Rev. J. M. Laval,
of New Orleans Vicar general will be
chosen and that a petition in his favor
has been signed by 90 out of 147 of the
archdiocese.
Christmas Burr Mcintosh Monthly.
When the 1904 Christmas number of
this magazine was issued, the critics
said it was impossible for the publish
ers to get out a finer number but we
believe that the Christmas 1905 number,
which is now on all news stands, is
very much more attractive than Christ
mas numbers of previous years. The
cover la an exquisite design in five
colors and gold, the frontispiece, The
Falconer by a celebrated European
artist, also being in five colors. The
form of portraits; containing such cele
brities as Padrewski, Gen. F. D. Grant,
Mrs. Geo. J. Gould, Maxine Elliott,
Cecilia Loftus, -Lillian Russell and
others, is printed on the somewhat rare
4-mdia tint paper in an exquisite tons of
sepia ink. There are six plates, each
printed In a number of colors and the
panoraiuic views of scenes and Inci
dents are printed In a variety of.double
tone ink; three of the subjects are
mounted on artistic backs which add to
the beauty of the issue. " A departure
Is made from previous numbers in the
publication ot a pleasing story by Ethc
WatU Mumford. Among the "Men
and Women ot Note" are Andrew
Carnegie, Hiss Alice Roosevelt, Ade
line PatU and her husband, Emperor
Witlian and Hon Lloyd Griscom, our
Minister to Japan who displayed very
clever diplomacy la the recent trying
positions la which ha was placed.. '
This issue la a double number and

worth double the amount.

By Board For Permanent State Mill-
"v1'- tary Encampment .
What Board Says of Terms Offered by More-
head Clty'and Wrlohbwills' What '
Each Plsce Offered to Secure
The Annual Visit, of
North Carolina
Brigades.
Special to Journal.
Raleigh, Nov. 27 This afternoon the
board of officers' report to Gov. Glenn
on permanent encampment site was
made public by the "Governor. By h's
order the selection of the site was left
entirely in the hands of the board,
which unanimously select. Morehead
City.
This report gives terms of offer of
Morehead City and the Atlantic & N.
C. railway combined, and that of Wil
mington for Wrighffiville site, and then
cays that first "named offer was to give
old camp site with two thousand feet
frontage oa Boarue sound, with addi
tional land adjoining, running two
thousand feet back, and a rifle range
two hundred by one thousand yards,
also adjoining; to build .range and pits,
railway sidings, store houses, all other
necessary buildings, to clear and grade
grounds, set them in grass, furnisn
water supply and lights, and to care
for all this property when unoccupied.
Wrightsville offered 101 -acres with
fourteen hundred feet frontage on
;ound, five thousand dollars in cash, and
five hundred dollars t nnually for five,
years, with no promise tor iuture
maintenance of property. Offered rifle
range one thousand yards long on
Wrightsville banks.
Board says that after duly consider
ing these proposals, and going over the
respective sites, it unanimously selects
the site offered at Morehead City. It
threw out the idea of having two en
campment sites, so that one year two
regiments would be at one, and one at
the other, nex year this being reversed
and third year entire brigado at ore
place. Morehead City signified a will
ingness, but Wrightsville said its prop
osition was based only on encampment
of entire brigade annually. The board
says farther, that Morehead City offers
more frontage on water, in such shape
as best to serve the purpose, while site
at Wrightsville though contains about
same acreage, is in such shape that it
is impossible to make it conform to
needs. A railway runs through More-
head site, while Wrightsville site is a
considerable, distance from railway,
thus rendering it necessary to use a
large number of teams in hauling. Suit
water bathing at Morehead Is at or a
foot of camp. No cost to men and
target range is in camp limits, white
suitable range is not offered at Wrights
ville in connection with camp site of
fered. Member of board left for their
homes this afternoon.

"Awaken New Bern!" If your ambi
tion is to keep a stride of Dover. It
seems that many of the traveling pub
lic are placed to some disadvantage at
times to' distinguish New Bern from
Dover. A few months ago a gentle
man got off the cars 'here, and after
the train had gone on, enquired the way
to the National Bank of New Bern,
and was much surprised to being told
that it was 24 miles east of here.
Last week a gentleman dismounted
from the shoo-fly train with his suit
case in hand, and being approached by
one of our liverymen to know if he want,
ed to do some driving, said no, but a
minutes pause said he did want to see
the manager of the, opera house. He
was told. the manager was not in town,
Dover not having quite grown suf
ficient to afford an opera house. He
With some amaze says isn't this New
Bern? and upon being told no, fortunate
ly for him, the train was waiting for
orders being a little later. He says "I
guess I had better keep on down some
further."
