DaDgerous. No Disaster Like Li
berte's Possible to Am :r-
icaa. Vessels. ,
Washington, Sept. 30. Such a disas
ter aa occurred on the battleahln Liber
ta last Monday would be impot sible in
toe American navy is the opinion of
ordinance officers assuming tnat the
l4filUfLcnraLBe right
q ir hi declaration utariMwui ot to tne
- fartpohinof thf-fii the Li-
berte's magazines, America! naval
ordinance experts have been tr-in-for
years to make American smokeless
powder ignite spontaneously without
success. ,
Commencing upon the order issued
by the French admiralty for th remov
al from the Meditteranean fleet of all
.smokeless powder made prior to 1902,
it was said at the Navy Def trtment
here that there was a good deal of pow
der afloat in American naval ve?nels
more than nine years old yet the de
partment waa, satisfied of its perfect
Bafety., Every bit of powder id the na
vy is under almost constant ins section.
When a lot of powder is made it isgiv-
en an "index" number and the depart
ment knows where every gran of it
goes. Samples of the index are kept at
the Indian Head powder factory and al
so at the magazines from which the
powder is iasued to the ships.
When harmful changes are noted in
powder the order goes out imm rdiately
to every ship and magazine for the re
turn of all that index number t Indian
Head, where it is ground up and worked
over into new stock. So the ravy de
partment officials feel that the Ameri
can bluejacket can rest assured '.hat, at
least so far as spontaneous eon bust.ion
is concerned, he is in no danger of be
ing blown up by his own powder.

The Shadow Over New Bern.
Managers of the brick manufacturing
plants' at Clarks told the writer yes
terday that they had to shut down
work several weeks ago for the lack of
labor. Thousands of pound t of open
cotton wasting in the nearby fields tes
tify, also, to the under, upply of labor.
This within a few miles of New Be-n,
where hundreds and even thousands of
boys and girls, men and women are
idling all day long, and all the time, on
the street, not living, simply existing,
aa parasites on the community, with
out ambitio i or pri Je, slowly evolving
into beggars and criminals, menaces to
society and property interests. No law
is necessary to correct this state of af
fairs. The law is ready at hand, and
only need courageous officials to en
force it Menvwho respect the oaths
they took upon being inducted into of
dee. Enforcing the vagrancy law is a
duty, just a much encumbent upon
them, aa eatchin blind tiger or ar
resting d sorderly persons. Nsw Bern's
future ti anda in more danger from those
vagrants, of today, than from all other
evils put together.

Nine Cents.
New York, 30-Cotton prices have
melted away fast, owing mainly to large
receipts and heavy liquidation. The
opinion is spreading that thv crop is
very large. What the ultimate price
is to be is a matter of which there is a
wido range of opinion, Some of the
spinners in conference here hav j. even
bteo naming nine cents..
In the meantime, however, aMention
is riveted on the enormous rec ipts, the
growing stocks, the rumors of nig gin

the belt have in the main been cheerful.

for a rally even if it is only temporary.
