Yesterday
GOES TO JURY TO DAY
John Smith, Charged With
Assault, Released
From Custody.
Yesterday's entire session of Superior
Court was taken up with the hearing
of the case of the..-fcte. 3.. Test Hill
and Charles MoorT& fiuotsr colored,
charged with the murder of Mr. Leon
Johnson at Dover qn Septerriber 1st.
It will be remembered that Mr. John
son was lound murdered on a street
of that town by two negro men. The
victim's throat was cut and the jugular
vein severed. Shortfy after the dis
covery ol the body. Moore and Hill
were found hiding under a church.
They were placed "under arrest and
brought to this city and placed in jail.
The defendants are represented by
Messrs. Moore and Dunn, R. B
Nixon and R. O'Hara, while Solicitor
Abernethy is handling the case for the
State. There were a large number of
witnesses on both sides and after the
hearing of evidence was begun it con
tinued through the day and there are
still several witnesses to be examined.
It is not thought that the arguments
will consume any great length of time
and the jury will probably have the
case by noon.
In -the case of the State vs.. John
Smith, white, charged with criminal
assault, the grand jury failed to find
a tri:e bill and the defendant was re
leased from custody.

Every boat owner in New Bern and

Stirring Meeting Held
at Court .. . House
Last Night.
PROMINENT MEN SPEAK
Senator Simmons' Excel
lent Record Highly
Praised.
A fair sized audience attended the
meeting at the court house last night,
of the Craven County Simmons Club
Those who attended were well' repaid
by hearing some of the best political
speeches ever delivered In this city.
For more than two hours there was
now of oratory from the speakers'
stand. The object of - the various
speakers was to show the sentiment of
the greater majority of the people of
this State for Senator Furnifold M.
Simmons, who is now a candidate for
re-election to the Senate of the United
States. Among the speakers of the
evening were Messrs. L. I. Moore,
Chas. R. Thomas, Ex-Judge O. 11
Guion, Rev.- H. A. Merficld, Judge
Henry R. Bryan and Mr. J. K. Dixon
of Jones county." Senator Simmons
record since he has been before the
public was brcught up and discussed,
analyzed and dissected, but there was
not one flaw found in it. His excellent
work in securing appropriations for his
home State of North Carolina was the
subject of lenghty remarks, and in fact
the -whole trend of the meeting was to
how just what Senator Simmons had
accomplished and why he should be
re-elected in preference to his opponent,
Governor W. W. Kitchin. At times
s the speakers progressed the applause
was deafening and often they wereconi
pelled to pause for a few moments until
the demonstration had ceased. From
every standpoint the meeting was an
entire success. Mr. G. A. Whiiford
presided and Mr. R. A. Nunn intro
duced the speakers.

MissHarrisdn Claims He
Misrepresented Christ
ian Science
SPOKE FROM HEARSAY
So Much Indicated bv
Statement That lie
Was "Informed."
Mr. Editor:
in your issue oi September otn is a
synopsis of a sermon delivered by Rev.
Mr. Hara. It is wise to reply to this.
for however honest-he may be he has so
misrepresented Christian Science and
Christian Scientists that this correction
must be given to the public.
The reverend gentlemen begins wrong
in his statement concerning diagnosis.
Christian Scientists do not diagnose
disease from a material standpoint and
could not from a spiritual since all
Christians nust agree that spirit uality
is never sic;:. o lus statement, 1 hat
Christian Science teaches that every
ill of man originates in the spiritual
and must be treated with spiritual
means," is wholly incorrect. It will
be seen to be the anliupodc of Christian;
Science for its premise is that God is
Spirit and Spirit and its ideas are per
fect, indestructible and unchanging.
This minister confuses Christian
Science with hypnotism. Every one
knows hypnotism deals wholly with the
carnal mind, which I aul declares is
enmity against Cod. Every Christian
Science church reads its sermons against
hypnotism, so it wocld not denounce
its own methods. It must be that
cures admitted to nave been done
by Christian Science have been per-
ornied by a method unknown to the
ritic, not by hypnotism which he under
stands is a science.
His pleas for the practice only of
Allopathic, Homeopathic and Osteo
pathic remedies in certain disorders
must be an open question, since all
these differ from each other as radically
as they do from Christian Science treat
ment. Does he understand thus sys
tems and know they never failed to save
from the last enemy?
Webster defines murder "To kill a
human being with premeditated malice."
The Bible says he that haleth his
brother is a murderer. The critic has
elected himself judge, jury and ex
ecutioner without witness. Would M
Ham score through pulpit and press the
failures of his chosen schools when
death occurs as murders and call the
grieved loved ones criminals?
My understanding is that a qualified
Christian Scientist, in accordance with
the laws of this State, has the same
dignified right to practice his methods
of healing disease upon those who re
quest such treatment as is vouchsafed
practitioners of any other healing sys:
tern. Those seeking this method of
healing have proved it in their own ex
perience to be the best known to them
and naturally choose the best for their
cj,ju
ren.

true courtesy and appreciate their effort
courtesy and appreciate their
true courtesy and appreciate
citizens frce to choose their services
whenthey prefer it to Christian Science
and they feel that doctors of best success
and mutation are equally willing for
American titizena t0 decide for them-
and families their own rule of
action -n this matter
whv doesn't this reverend preach a
sermon against the method used when
ever an adult or child dies under one
of his chosen schools? iWhy not urge
iegjsiation against such methods, if not
averting the last enemy is sufficient
cause for such procedure? Our boasted
American freedom should be sustained.
It is evident that this sermon was
--.u-jT from hearsav reoortstfas he
house seriously ill. ..Just here any one
knowing of Christian .Science Church
methods knows no individual is pastor.
About seventeen: years ago -the Bible
and Science & Health with Key to the
Scriptures were made pastor. The-ons
he is supposed to refer to was out of the

WOMEN S
During the past few years women have discover- V
ed that many conveniences of everyday business "',
life which they were in the habit of looking upon
as exclusively for men are jst as useful and just '
as available for themselves.
This is especially true of a bank account.
The Peoples Bank welcomes the accounts of
women and extends every courtesy and assistance
to them in the handling of their affairs.
