; constantly being devised to relieve people of
their money. Vast millions are taken in
this way every year. Many of these Invest
ments fall and afford no positive assurance of the
safety of the principal, to say nothing of earnings.
The small investor rarely has an oppoilunity to
protect himself. The wisest and safest way to
handle savings or other idle funds is to deposit the
money in an interest bearing account.

REPORT ON NEW
ROAD J AUGUST
Commissioners Have Walker
Highway Project Under
Advisement.
Several weeks sgo the Chamber of
Commerce took up the matter of open
ing up the Walker road leading from
New Bern to Aurora. At a special
meeting of that organisation Mr. N. A
Purifoy, who lives in the section which
would be opened up by the opening of
tbe new road, explained the advantages
to be derived by tbe local . merchants
snd manufacturers if this road was
opened and also how much it would
help the people living in that section.
Mr. J. S. Basnight, chairman . of a
committee, appointed to look into the
feasibility of opening the road made a
report for bis committee favorable to
the project.
The matter appealed favoably to
the members of the Chamber of Com
merce and tbey decided that if possible
the road should be opened. After dis
cussion it was decided that in as much
as the road would benefit the county as
whole, "the county, commissioners
should be asked to ue the convict

The opening of this road has long
been agitated. . People living in that
section cow go to some other place to
do their trading and also carry their
farm products to other places, . If this
road is opened all of this trade or cert-'

Will be in Operation Within
Next Few Days. A Me
' chanical Wonder.
One of the most remarkable ma
chines ever invented is the monotype
type-casting and composing machine,
If an engineer were asked to design a
machine that would east duplicate
parte from hot metal at the rate of
140 a minute, within a limit of accura
cy of two ten thousandths of an inch,
automatically selecting from 225 char
acters of twelve sizes In one dimension,
he would say, without hesitation, "It
la impossible to fill this specification."
Nevertheless the Monotype Company
ettr fvajs oi, peuneotlng fcaa pror
duced a machine that accomplishes the
impossible day in -and da out.
TDe monotype castirg machine is a
complete automatic type-foundry pro
ducing type, borders, a d spacing ma
terial of any size from. 5 point to 36
print, at a speed tbat makes itxlieap
er to cast new type than to distribute.
It will turn a pound of raital into type
01 tbe nig lies t quality In less than two
minuus.
Among the first mono types built
were four wbch were installed In the
office of the New York Sun. Today the
New York Sun operates forty -two
monotypes and all the composition of
the Morelng, Evening and Sunday Sun
is done on tkese machines. Nearly two
hundred monotypes ate used in the
government printing office at Wash
in ton,
The monotype has the advantage
over other machines in that it la as
well suited to job work as to newspa
per work.
One of these machines has been pur
chased by the E. J. Laud Printing Co.
and will be used in tbe printing of the
Journal and in turning out the job
work done by tbe purchasers. The ma
chine is alresdy in the Land Compa
ny's office and will be installed in the
course of the next day or so, an erector
having arrived here Friday night, sent
here by tbe factory in Philadelphia.
The machine will be installed as sta
ted in a day or so nnd in time to be In
jected by the members of the North
Carolina Press Association when they
visit New Bern en route home from
attending the annual prees convention
at Morehead City. The members of the
press association will be shown the
workings of the monotype in the office
of the Land Printing Company by Mr.
Hatch of tbe Monotype Company and
Mr. J. T. Hill, the erector.
The readers of tbe Journal are invi
ted to come in at any time ns soon as
the monotype is installed and see the
machine being operated.
