(Special Correspondence.) Greensboro, April 14. -A regular two weeks terra of Superior court for the trial of civil cases begins hee next Monday, Judge Ferguson presiding. All doubt about Judge Boyd s District court getting out of wf y of the Circuit court called here Tor Tuesday, Judge Goff presiding for the trial of Congress man Blackburn, was dispelled yester day afternoon, when the case of Sim mons Hardware Co., and others against Harden and others of Wilkesboro was ordered suspended, and court took an adjournment until the first Monday in June, when the same jury will come back and the case be begun where it will was left off. The plaintiffs had rested its case just before dinner, and defendants had completed the exami nation of chief of L. E. Davis one of the parties defendant. About the mid dle of the afternoon, while Davis was being crossed examined, Judge Boyd asked how long the defendants would be engagpd in introducing their evi dence. They stated that they bail twenty-five witnesses. Judge Boyd then said it was impossible to conclude the case before Saturday night. 1 hat besides the Circuit court being called here next week, he was compelled to hold Statesville court where a large criminal docket was to be tried. It was then agreed that the stenographic evidences of witnesses ao far c-xaMini'il be reserved, and the case be cor.i i;tded at a session beginning the firat Alon- in June. When United States Marsha! Milli- kan reached Atlanta jesterda morn ing the superintendent of tfie peniten tiary refused to receive Mr. Smoot, one of the prisoners, paying mai n women were taken there, the prison at Nashville Tenn., beinp- provided for them. He therefore telegraphed this fuct to Judge Boyd, who ordered the sentence changed to "Nashville, and a mitiimus was mailed with special delivery stamp to the Marshal at Nashville. A final decree was signed by Judge Boyd ye-ilerday in the case of Fisher et al against the Greensboro water works. It was for damages obtained by parties who suffered in the Benbow hotel fire six years ago, the claim being that the Waterworks Company failed to have a sufficient supply of water to pr?vent the fire by the fire company. The city baa since bought the water works, pay ing $70,000 for the plant The money has been hcM awaiting the reeultof the litigation. The order directed the payment of nearly $60,OiX) of this fund to the judgment creditor. At a meeting of the Board of Alder men yesterJay afternoon the much dis- cuMed and litigated quetion of the Elm street paving came up in the form of a resolution providing fur an Inves tigation of the changed made in the petition for injunction, alh-glng defec tive work, extravAKanee, negligence etc. The lioird finally adopter) a res olution offered by Aldermen Hunter appointing Mayor Murphy and Alder men Thompton anil Wynin ' i a com mittee to Investigate th: Matter thor- ougldy ami report t ihe board not ater than April "1 t A aubatitute to J)i resolution wa olfered by Alder- ien iiamaon, providing lor me an- oointmenl of Aldermen Odefl and Thorn peon and Inviting J B.

C rcTor Asa MrtJ, Rrvenr -, Hwi AN ENJOYABLE PERFORMANCE. Premised to the Prateststtoa et Mldeummer'i Might Dream. Those who have read Midsummer's Night Dream and been charmed with the delightful comedy running through it will be pleased to see the presenta tion of the drama by New Bern children. For three months Miss Annie D. Green has been drilling the little girls and boys and they have now reached a point of 'perfection with which sho is greatly pleased. There is a revival of interest in Shakespearean plays and Midsummer's Night Dream stands foremost among them. The great dramatist was in his merriest mood when he put that play on paper. It is not a rough house play nor one that will jar the nerves and emotions, but one with a smooth, even and gentle humor which must be seen and heard to be appreciated, rather than to be read. Among the star actors in this Jittle comedy are Misses Mary Meadows Mitchell and Gertrude Carraway. Many others will appear in character parts and in the groups. None of the ppr- forraers are over 16 years of age, but they have made earnest endeavor of their work and will put on one of the rettiest attractions that New Bern talent has given. The costumes will be very handsome. They are of the Gre cian type and while simple will be ap propriate to fhe play. The Wjatt orchestra will furnish the music and there will be no waits between acts. The proceeds of the entertainment are for the benefit of the library ex tension of the Woman's Club. This is a worthy cause and at prtser.t is greatly in need of funds. We believe that the citizens of New Bern will not et a good cause suffer when by a small contribution and a united effort they will help a noble institution and get their money's worth in pleasure. Success lias crowned our efforts of untiring endeavor and we present to the public with a confidence never before held by any other medicine, Hyllister's Rooky Mountain Tea. ,S5 ceiitn, Tea or Tablets.

It has been the desire of many people that the men convicted in Craven county should be made to do some of the public work within the county and not be sent to another place and roads in this vicinity leftuntouched while nearly all adjacent counties had comparatively good thoroughfares, snd Craven county contributed her share to them. We are now in a position to keep our criminals at home and make them work out the price of their shame for the convenience of the Craven county pub lic. We may now anticipate some bet ter roads. Bond sf I'M 'xi Hn Um Bagi af Modern School vt. Old School By Osinn A. I.ang, in the April-June Korum. Of course, whatever may bo entali lished with reference to the intellectual product of the old schools of former days, a door will atill be open for those who mourn the decline of morale and the disappearance of "old-fanhicmd honesty" from the land. Juatnow we are right in the midat of lamentations of Uiis sort. Those who incline to op tlmm iahave newapapers and frenzied magazines, thrust before their eyes to be converted by report of investigation Into various forma of "graft." We are told that men occupying positions of trust and honor have been found want ing In the virtues which are the very root of msnlin tm and righteousneM. Al theee things are true, alas! - But art they the products of the modern school? Look at the men at whom an Indignant public is pointing the finger of scorn, their hair ie white, their eye have lost the brightness of )outh, their step is tottering: they were trained In the "though" schools of the paet, where the schoolmaster's word was law, where "lickm' tod laming" went hand-In-hand, when the three B'l were the uprem anxiety.

The house of Mr. -Albert Caetet. at! 167 Pollock street, caught on fire yea- terday morning from the kitchen flue and had it been discovered but min ute later it would probably have gained a headway Which wouldliaye meant the destruction of several houses in that locality. A strong wind was blowing. and it would have fanned the flames into a terrible fury; However, the prompt and efficient work of the. fire-: men was enough to put the fire under control hi a few minutes. A metal roof served to confine the flaoiea and made it easier for the firemen to sub due them. The damage to the house aitd house hold goods by fire and water was esti mated at one hundred dollars; all of which were insured. Now is the time to take Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea.

Special to Journal: Greensboro, April 14. The business the past week was curtailed on account of holiday in all the markets Friday and Saturday. There has been a good un dertone all the week though the ma terial change from 'Saturday is little. May closed 10 points higher at 11.29 and Jul 5 points higher at 11.20. The demand from the mills was in large volume at increasing premiums, and they were somewhat more encour - aged to meet this condition by a hard ening tendency in the manufactured line, and a better feeling throughout the trade. It looks as if every bale of I good cotton will be wanted this summer j at very full prices, aa the mills are I well engaged. We do not believe the ! increase in acreage will amount to much on account of labor scarcity. Ti.e small farmer and tenant may try to in crease, but the very large planters will hesitate for the above mentioned roa- son, for if his crop Bhould once get in the gras, he would be woree off than if he had decreased his crop 25 per cent and he is not likely to take the risk. We still believe we ar going into high er prices this spring and summer. Atlantic Hotel Opens June 15th. Tbe Atlantic and North Carolina Com pany announces that the Atlantic Hotel, Morchead City, N.

Everybody enjoyed the highly entertaining shows and attractions. Creaton is the best on the grounds, though all are good in every respect, there being nothing carrying even the suggestion of uncleannoss. In fact, this company lias decidedly the best and cleanest shows ever presented here. No one need have any hesitancy in seeing all of them. The Hall of Fame is highly interest ing and attractive, and should be liber ally patronized likewise Creation, which with a moving picture device gives in a vivid and realistic fashion a "Bank Robbery" and "Race for a Hus band." Lunette, the flying Lady, always at tracts large crowds, for it is wonder ful how cleverly the deception is ar ranged.

C Dear Sir: It's ao old Baying: the best advertisement is a pleased customer, it happens to us continually in this way: A man buys Devoe for his house he has painted it once in three years for a dog's - age, and think ho knows what he wants buys 30 gallons, and has 10 left. He sees right-off that 20 Devoe is as much as 30 of anything elso. He likes that; it comes quick; it is a suprise; and he tells of it. The best advertisement is a pleased customer. Three years roll round. Thero isn't a sign that hm housenoeds paint; he don't paint it Next year he don't peint it. This cornea slow; it is a sunrise; huf lit lias got used to it.
