Care in Money Matters
Much money is lost fey those who fail to keep ac

Few make asuccess of personal bookkeeping if
they pay in cash.
The only practical way to have a complete record
Stpendit ures and to secure a receipt for every
payment, is to carry a checking account here and to
pay alt bills by check.
No business house would do otherwise and the
simplicity of the plan adapts it quite as well to iodi-

New York June 22 The N
Gmnera report today is said to place
the crap condition at 84.6 percent,
against 80. 4 on June 1st. This caused
a moderate reaction from yesterday's
highest prices. But the undertone of
the market was strong on reports of
excessively hot and dry weather in
Texas, where rain is now needed, i
Prices are likely to remain firm un

About City
Shortly after one o'clock yesterday
afternoon, this city was visited by a
very severe storm. It was hot and
sultry during the morning, but thefirot
storm threatenings gave no evidence of
what followed. First flurries of rain.
then heavier, with great down pours for
minutes. There were rallies from lull
periods, then heavy thunder with sharp
lightning. The storm itself lasted about
an hour, the rainfall was 2.60 inches,
The wind blew hard at times, and veer
ed to all points of the compass. The
local phone service suffered from crossed
wires and a number of phones were dis
abled. Some hail fell and there was a
drop in temperature for a short time
The section of Metcalf and Broad, and
New and George streets was under
water, and lots in the vicinity filled
with water to the suffering of those
living nearby.

WHO 18 THE GOOD CITIZEN
Mr. Editor; I am nearly 2 years old
and for all these years before I was
born, the citizens of Craven County
have been noted for their hospitality,
truthfulness, and fair dealings to all
men. We have learned to look Up to
men of character like the Hon. James
Bryan, C. E. Foy, J. W. Biddle, the
Hon. Mayor, and City Aldermen, men
of honor and character, and scores of
others all over our county. No better
people to be found anywhere, and Mr.
Editor, we have also learned to disre
gard all attempts of common minds,
that may try seek to attack the per
Bona 1 or political characters, of these O
other equally good citizens.

Shocked by Lightning.
Early yesterday afternoon Mr. Wm.
Oast who is employed by Mr. P. Tren-
with, who conducts a blacksmith and
repair shop on South Front street,
went out on Trent river to catch
bunch ot hsh, when the storm came up
he was unable to reach the shore so
rowed his boat underneath the bridge
While waiting for the storm to abate
lightning struck the water nearby and
Mr. Oast being so near was knocked
senseless by the force of the shock
In this condition he was found and
brought to the shore after which he
was carried to his room and a physician
was called in to give him medical atten
tion. Mr. Oast is about 65 years old
and the severe shock completely un
nerved him for several hours but it
more than probable that there will be
no seriuos after effects.

!' A HS C. H. THOMAS
Mr. E lit or : My admiration and re
spect for the Hon. Chas. R Thomas
have only been increased and heighten
ed by reading his recant open letter to
the people of this district in which
announces his purpose to stand by pled
gas made in a letter written quite
years ago. No one who knew him how
ever, expected him to do otherwise, for
his public career has been characters
ad by fidelity to duty and loyally to
every promise or pledge. Now Mr
Editor, when Mr. Thomas mads that
promise two years ago that he would
not he s candidate for re-election this
y ar, eonditlons were quite different
from what they are today, At that
time Ide health was poor; today it has
been fully restored and he was never in
floor trim. Two years ago everything
pointed to a Democratic land slide in No
veeeber. Should snah a tarag happen
Mr.Thosnas would he the ranking om

mittee in Congress and to posKJoo to

Tom Hege up Before tee Mayor.
Tom Hege, the Seven Day Adventist,
who arrived in the city several weeks
ago from Wilmington, and since that
time has been exhorting the people to
prepare for the and of the world, was
before Mayor McCarthy yesterday af
ternoon on a warrant charging him wji h
receiving stolen goods. A few days ago
Hege sold a moving picture machine to
two small boys for $14.00. It developed
later teat the money had been stolen
and the owner discovering tbe wherea
bouts of his caah called for it. Hej re
fused to part with the coin and It tu
rases ry for the Mayor to explain to
him the error of hie action before he
returned the money to its rightful
