GQUGHER FOR WOQDROVJ WILSON Giants' Famous Twirler, Develop ments Indicate, Is not Player He Once Was LOSES GAME TO RED SOX t" v' -1. j 1 - L ' 4 " 1. y WAS INDEPENDENT HiTHERTO FLads It Humiliating to See Former President in Scramble for Office New York, Oct. 12 Rev. Dr. John F. Gouchef of Baltimore, Md., Presi dent Emeritus of Goucher College, who although an independent, has al ways supported the Republican can tdidates in presidential elections, has announced that he will vote for Gover er Wilson. In making this announce ment, Rev. Dr. Goucher said: "I think it is a serious deviation from the unwritten law of this nation to advance a' person to the presidency for a third term, even though his re cord were as satisfactory as was that of Col Ropsevelt during his adminis tration. Therefore, 1 cannot vote for CsA. Roosevelt. "It mas very humiliating to see the President of the United States engage in a personal scramble for renomination, and whatever may have been the pro vocation, it seems to me far below the dignity of the office for the president to engage in vituperative expressions concerning an opjxinent or his principles "1 had reached the conclusion, there fore, that I could not vote for either Col. Roosevelt or Mr. Taft, and it was a matter of very great satisfaction to me that the Baltimore Convention was "compelled, apparently, to nominate ov. Woodrow W ilson. His except ion iiX training, administrative opportuni ties and personal qualities eminently ualify him, in my opinion, tor the position of chief executive of a free and independent people. "Applying the same principles which have actuated me in the past, it is with gratification that 1 anticipate the opportunity and privilege of voting for Woodrow Wilson next November." BIG BLACK BEAR CAUGHT. Beaufort N. C, Net. 12. Messrs. 11. D. and J. B. Simpson caught a large lear iu a trap they had set, on North river Road, about eight miles from Beaufort. Mr. Bear weighed ,117 pounds when dressed, The carcass was brought to Beaufort this morning, to be shipped North. This particular bruin had been making a lot of trouble for the farmers along the river shore. Mr. Simpson said that he estimated that the bear had ruined ten barrels of corn for him within the past few days Bruin, as black as coal and aggressive as they make them, had been seen a aumber of times by different people, but as he threatened to disarrange the toilet of anyone who "messed" with liim, he had his own way till he got his foot caught the other night. MR. DANIELS, WILL OPEN GARAGE. Mr. L. G. DanielsMs planning to con vert a portion of the lower floor of his livery and sales stable on South Front treet into a garage. During the next few days a concrete, floor will be laid and every post in the centre of the building removed so that it will be an easy matter for cars to be brought in and carried out without being forced to back out. i A large number of electric lights will be placed in the building and a man will be in Charge at all hours. There are already several garages in the city but with the increase each month in the number of cars owned locally and with the growing number of visit ing cars, Mr. Daniels feels that there is abundant room for one more.

The Charlotte Observer contributes this bit of gossip to the already large dis cussion of the subject: "The name of Mr. George P. John son, son of President L. E. Johnson of the Norfolk & Western, is being persistently rumored in connection with the presidency of the Norjolk Southern Railway to succeed Mr. E. T. Lamb who recently resigned. Mr. Johnson is regarded among railroad men as one of the most able and ex perienced in the country, yottng 40 years but old in service, and t i Mfr'. lieved that if he is elected and accepts that he would serve the Norfolk South ern admirably in the capacity of presi dent. He was formely general superin tendent of the western division of the Norfolk & Western and in that posi tion made quite a record for achieve ment. Recently he has been acting as receiver for the Detroit, Toledo & I ronton Railway with headquarters in Detroit, Mich. "It is stated that there will be a meeting of the directors of the Norfolk Southern called at an early date, at which tinu- Mr. Johnson will be elected president. Reports to this effect have deen in circulation in Detroit, C'incinati, and Norfolk. There was a meeting held recently at which time Mr. li. C. Duncan of Raleigh was elected a direc tor, alonj; with several others, but the question of the president was not dis cussed. "Should Mr. Johnson accept the presidency of the Norfolk 'Southern, it would not indicate that the Norfolk & Western had anything to do with the new road, in the estimation of those in a position to know, but the inevitable outcome would be that cordial relations would exist between the two. Of course the present relations between the two systems are very pleasant but if the proposed change goes into effect, the relations would possibly be a little nore intimate. Presidemt L. E. John son of the Norfolk & Western is one of the most influential railroad men in this section of the country. An editorial from the Norfolk Ledger Dispatch reproduced in the Journal this morning will also be found interest ing reading though it does not lear on the presidency of the road. PLAN TO RETIRE WORN-OUT ANIMALS If the plans of several of New Bern's prominent citizens materialize, many of the decrepit animals now being used in hauling passengers and freight around the city will disappear from the streets. It is the intention of the gentlemen to put the matter up to the Board of Aldermen and get them to appoint a Humane Officer and give him the power to exercise his own judgment in de termining whether an animal is fit for service. At present thert are a num ber of horses being used in this city that are really fit subjects for the bone yard. The city veterinarian will pass on the condition of these animals and if he says they are unfit for work they will be removed. NEW PASTOR OF TABERNACLE TAKES UP WORK. Rev." J. B7 Phillips, the. new pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church) will occupy the. pulpit of that church this morning -and tonight.

To build two dormitories, one of x the boys and one for the girl, would cost approximately twelve thousand or more dollars. On a recent visit of Messrs. S. M. Brinson and A. D. Ward, two of the trustees, to a similar schools in the north the. advisability of constructing sev- erai small homes near the school for the students was proposed to them by Prof. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education! This plan has been tried out in one of the Ceorgia schools and found to be a complete success. The cottages cost about six hundred dollars each, contain five snail rooms and will -comfortably ac commodate 6 students. It is riot pro bably that there will be more than fifty boarding students at first and ten of these cottages would mean a saving of several thousand dollars on the price that would be paid for the construction, of ihe' dormitories. Superintendent of County Schools. Brinson stated yester day that he thought the plan was feas ible arid, that it would be brought up and; discussed . at : the' next : meeting of the.-trustees.Wt . ;' v .

The work is well advanced but so extensive are the pre parations that there will not be any cessation of activity until the Fair actually commences. To the visitors one of the most con spicuous features in connection with the work at the grounds is the pier where the boats which are expected, to tVansport the bulk of the visitors to the Fair will dock. This about finished. It is large and securely built. The frontage on the river is eighty feet and the width 24 feet. The wharf, leading up to it, is 24 feet wide and 160 feet long. Running down the center of this wharf is a railing, the plan being to have persons leaving the boats pass on one side of the railing while those embarking will stay on the other side. The fence around the grounds ha been completed. The traik has been put in good shape and rare-horse owners are already trying it ou( The main building is practically finished, the stork and poultry build 'nR. judges' stand and grand stand having been hnished some time agn.

They fished in the Fort chan nel, where the fish always run. If the party had stayed longer, they might have hauled in a boatload. Mr. Wood sent a solid box of the finest fish to his home in LaGrange. While the fisher men who make a business of supplying the market are not making large catches, hook-and-line "amateurs" are always sure of getting all the fun and fish they are looking for down here.

Yesterday afternoon he pitched for the New York diants in the fifth game of the world's cham pionship baseball series of 1912 against the Boston Red Sox and as in the last game in which he participated, tailed to keep the opposing team from con necting with the ball at the critical moment. The score yesterday was 2 to 1 in favor of the Red Sox. A close game to be sure, nut yet not close- enough to keep the victors from almost cinching the pennant. Boston made two runs in the sec ond inning and although they had an op portunity of .idding at least two more 'runs tHtore the close ol the game, the excellent fielding of the (.iants kept them from doing this. The (.iants made their -first anil only run in t he seventh inning. I he total score --howed that the (iiants had four hits and made one error while the Keil Sox swatted the ball live times and made one erior. As the record now stands the Red Sov have won three games, the (.iants ( l.i i in the (list inct ion of having gobbled up one game and the remaining one resulted in a lie. Tomorrow may de- i icle the winner ol the pennant, while it is possible that the ('.iants will rally and yet win the series. The game will lie Played at the I'olo grounds, New York.
