WIND STORM CHARMS
Sweeps Up From Valley
With Cloudsof Dust
A Grand Sight.
B ack Mountain, N. a, Aur, 27.-
The pact week has been idel weathrr,
Several days the temperature ranged
below 80 degrees, and one morning' it
was 66 after sunrise. A w'nd storm
that swept up the valley one evening
was a grand s!ght. Great clouds cf
dust from the road ways gave an ap
pearance of smoke. Trees swayed,
the clouds threatened, but in a few
minutes it wai again sun shine and no
damage.
The influx of visit ra ccntinu s and
the Southern Railway hai teen taxed
to meet travel demands. It has given
pretty even schedules when its Im
mense business is considered.
The Inn and ita side vf the valley
continues to be of grea et inteieU to
New Berniana. Among rec n' arrivals
are Mrs. -L. I. Moore and children, and
Mrs. M core's mother, Mrs. K ng, of
New Bern. From Wilmington, Mrs.
T. C James and sun, Marion
Bridge has become iha cird game of
the Inn. Social features tire dtily oc
currences, lawn tennis, dat.ces tnd
drives. Of special notice iaitweek may
be mentioned the straw ride given by
oe Brown, of Tampa, Fla to the
young folks. Afterwards a Welsh rare
bit, and as Joe remarked, "without the
beer." .
Tne regular weekly dance Thursday
in the annex was as usual greatly en
joyed.
Friday night in the dining room of
Tbe Inn, Mrs. Alex MeBuncy, of New
York and Miss Ada Thomas, of Wash
ington, D. C, gave a marshmallow
roast to the guests and out fide f deeds.
The great stone fire place was piled np
with logs and when these were reduced
to glowing embers every one was giv
en a pointed stick upon which to rcast
marshmallows. This affair was feat
ured by ''Clem" of the dining room
force, who sang negro songs with, ac
cordion accompaniment. Saturday a
Fudge party and dance were given.
This week will find many tourists on
their way home. Those who have
mountain homes or who come to the
mountains to get all there is. will be
here during moat of September, and so
enjoy one of the best months. Busi
ness calls most men home by Septem
ber the first, but their families in many
instances will stay over, for usually
the first two weeks in September are
the most heat tryir.g of eny of tbe
summer.

Doing Things lip Around

WHAT FIGURES SHOW.
Million Dollars In Corn
Can Be Grown In
District.
It seems that -they are really doing
things np around Dover, in the way of
drainage, and not making much fuse
about it, either.'
In the Dover drainage district there
are 20,000 acres, according to a man
who has looked the proposition over,
and who came down here yesterday.
He said "When that land is put
in corn, as it surely Will be after it is
drained, it will easily produce fifty
bushels to the acre. Just multiply
that by the number of acres, and you
have, according to my figures, one mil
lion bushels of corn. At the prevailing
price of one dollar a bushel, the value of
this corn is of course the fine sum of
$1,000,000." That reminds one just
a little of the calculations of Col. Mul
berry Seellrs, but is it given for what it
is worth.
The dredging machines, like those
now at work near Dover, are compara
tively ..recent inventions. At least,
they have not been in use very long.
When employed more generally they
are destined to make Eastern North
Carolina the garden spot of the At
lantic coast.

COMES THIS MORNING
Mr. Rufus Cherry is to arrive this
morning from Washington, where he
has been in charge of the Hotel Louise
to look the field over here, preparatory
to taking over the Gaston Hotel on
September 1.
Mr. Cherry will be pleasantly re
membered by many New Bern people
as the genial boniface of the Hotel
Charles at Morehead City. Outgrow
ing that field, Mr. Cherry took charge
of larger hotels in larger towns, landing
several years ago in Washington, where
he made the old Hotel Louise a success
from the start.
While he has had many other oppor
tunities, he chose the Gaston as his next
point of advancement. Mr. Cherry is
a born hotel man, a charming host,
and has the rare trait of making a guest
feel perfectly at home, and every man
is his friend. New Bern may look for
ward to increasing popularity for its
largest hotel under the management
of Rufus Cherry. '

on Sundays as told of in yesterday's

The following order from the Post-

Postmaster: ' , , - '
Sir: ' The ' Post-office appropriation
act "for the fiscal year ending June, 30,
1913, provides: f v ,
"That hereafter postofHces'of the first
and second class shall not be open on
Sundays fof the purpose of delivering
mail to the general public, but this
provision shall not prevent the prompt
delivery of spedciai delivery mail."
Under this law you will dote the gen
eral delivery carriers' windows and lock
boxes and discontinue all deliveries by
carriers on Sunday, You will note: how
ever,, that special delivery mail is excep
ted and you will therefore arrange to ha
on ' duty' a sufficient force to handle
this mail matter promptly,
,'The Department desires to reduce
Sunday work to the minimum so that
as many of the employees as possible
may enjo a complete day of rest on
Sunday." You should i therefore, re
quire only a sufficient number of clerks
to report for duty on that day in order
that transit mail and the mail collected
for dispatch may be handled." without
delav. If no mail is dispatched on Sun
day a' very early collection should be
made on Monday .morning and the mail
for local delivery distributed before the
carriers leave for their first trip... r -,

C. P. GRANDFIELD, .
First Assistant Postmaster General.
Seymour Baker of Vanceboro, who
was held for retailing liquor a week or
so ago, and wno nas since Deen in jail
in default of $100 bond, was yester
day released, bail having been furnished
He is to appear before the next term of
Federal court.
The' accounts, highly colored, sent
out concerning Baker's arrest, and the
pitiful condition of his sick wife, aroused
considerable sympathy by readers in
nearby States. Mr. Charles B. Hill,
U. S. Commissioner, received a sum of
money recently to be given to Baker
for the benefit of his invalid better half.
Mr. Hill turned the money over to Bak
er yesterday, but the man seemed to
accept the contribution, as well as his
release, quite as a matter of course, and
seemed to feel no gratitude at all. "It
is really surprising what an amount of
sympathy is extended the poorest speci
men of humanity just as soon as he is con
victed o( peddling mean whiskey. A man
who goes into the blind tigcf business
always enters it with his eyes open,
knows what to expect if apprehended.yet
there seems to be a lot of mawkish
sentimentalism ready toburst forth,
as soon as the officers take the poison
vender in charge," said a government
officer yesterday.
m
FOUNDATION OF FORTUNES;
The foundation, of practically every
fortune Is "Small Savings."
Ffrst of all, in acquiring the large
amounts it was necessary to save in or
der that there Would be capital with
which to make investments.
A bank such as the Peoples Bank is a
great help in accumulating money. It
pays 4 per cent compound interest on
savings deposits of $1.00 or more.
