At times it takes nerve and much courage to do this but in the end one is well repaid.

Pamlico county Superior -Court is in session this week .and among other cases on the docket a score or more of "blind tigers" will facedie judge. A' number of the local 'attorneys went down to Bayboro Monday morning to attend the court and one or . two will assist in the prosecution of the alleged whiskey sellers. v ,. learned at odd times. .; Generation after generation have passed away and today the thardy - blood which 'was instilled into our bodies years ago' has-dwindled down until we are 16 longer even a senblance of what men and women were who landed first on Americas soil.;' If we were there would not be" Such slack lawa," -'i v v .I.

All of Them too High and Alder men Authorize Modifica tion of The Plans CURBING BIDS ALSO TOO HIGH Dr. Foley, Meat and Milk Inspec tor la Made Humane Officer Other Business As none of the bids for the erection of Jhe new power plant building for the city came within the amount allotted by the Board of Alderemn fdr the purT pose all were rejected at a meeting held last night and the engineer was in structed to so modify the plans that the building would cost less. When that is done bids will again be called for. Bids for curbing needed were also turned down because of being too high and Purchasing Agent Kafer was in structed to try to get the curbing at prices at which the city has heretofore been buying it. On motion of Alderman Ellis, Dr. Foley, the meat and milk inspector, was made Humane Officer charged with the duty of inspecting dray and transfer horses and Hothed with author ity cb have retired from service horses in his opinion too old or too feeble to be used. Alderman Ellis brought Up the ques tion of the paving by the Norfolk Southern Railroad of Hancock and South Front Streets, the Supreme Court Having sustained the city in its con tention that the railroad was legally bound to improve those streets. It was announced that the Railroad Com mittee and the city .attorney were to have a conference with Col. Rodman, chief counsel of the Norfo'k Southern, today relative to the proposed improve ment. Alderman Bangert called attentihn to the fact that the fire wells thorougout the city, many of them, were filled up and could not be used in the event of a fire. Alderman Gaskins, chairman of the Fire Committee, was instructed to secure bids for this work. Alderman Ellis offered an ordinance forbidding the unloading of wood and sand at the foot of Craven street, this having been done in the pait to such an extent that it has been necessary to dredge the slip out in order that boats may land there. WATSON QUITS WILSON. Atlanta, Oct. 22. Thomas E. Wat son has served notice that he will de cline to vote for Woodrow Wilson, and that he will ask his Goergia following to back him up and stay away from the polls. r, Mr. Warson quotes the New York Times as saying tha tWilsOn has joined the Knights of Columbus, and therefore Watson says he will quit the Wilson camp. There is some apprehension felt among state politicians that Watson's attitude may affect the , Georgia situa' tion dangerously. Watson is supposed to command about 15,080 votes in Georgia. , 9 tru f4- 9 i.G.bMMgi jl lie vjicai , Eastern Carolina J I . -' -. - NEW BERN,' N.; -'n.;;- ! 9.

The train will laave. that place at 8 a. m. and will arrive in New Bern at 9:24 a. m. The fare for the round trip will be only $1.85. A line of flags of all nations more than six hundred. feet in length has been put up at the Fair grounds and yesterday afternoon Mrs. Bayard Wooten, the photographer, secured several photo graphs of the display.

Mr. Clyde Eby, president of the Eastern Carolina Fair Association, has had his home on Broarl street attrac tively decorated and the appearance it presents is very pleasing. This is the first residence to be dressed in gala attire for the Fair to be held next week but it is hoped that others will follow. Workmen were busily engaged yes terday in erecting a band stand in Stanley hall wheih will be occupied by Passeri's band while rendering music for the dances to be held next Wednes day and Friday night. These dances will be the most elaborate and enjoyable social affairs ever held in Eastern North Carolina. Patronesses have been invited from every town in this section of the State and it is ex pected that more than a hundred couple will participate in each dance. HURLED BRICK THROUGH CAR . WINDOW. As the Westbound train was leaving the outskirts of thecity Sunday evening some miscreant hurled a brick through one of the windows in the' car occupied by white people and Mr. G. V. Cowper, of Kinston, was struck by the missile and also cut by flying flass. Although painfully injured Mr Cowper continued to Kinston before he secured medical aid. Missiles have frequently been thrown at the cars in the western sur burbs and there have been several narrow escapes frhi serious injury. The railway people have put the matter in the hands of their detectives. Miss Lela Hooker of Bayboro is the guest of her sister, Mrs. J.

Some time ago the Atlantic Coast Line's Agri cultral Department collected an agri cultural and horticultural exhibit of the products grown along their line in the States of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama and sent it West in charge of their Agricultural Agents, Messrs. Wilbur McCoy, of Jacksonville, Florida, and Mr. E. N. Clark, of Wilmington, N. C, to be put on exhibition at various State Fairs. The Atlantic iCoast Line had one of new steel-frame express cars overhauled in their shops to transport this exhibit. Messrs. McCoy and Clark have re turned and report that the exhibit proved to be very popular with the Western farmers, and that it was visited by thousands of people who were enthu siastic in their praise of the Southern products. The exhibit in glassf fruit and vege tables grown along their line was es pecially admired, and a great number of people remarked that they never aw such fruit and vegetables on their market Cotton on the stalk; peanuts on the vine, and corn 16 foot high aws also of great interest, and especially the 16 foot corn. While the West is a great corn country, it does not grow very high in that territory. Messrs. McCoy and Clark say (hat after seeing tRe exhibits made by other roads at the fairs they attended, they are confident that "The Nations, Garden Spot" can furnish an exhibit thate will far surpass any exhibit that can be made by any fther railroad in the United States for variety and quality of products. These gentlemen put in the hands of Western farmers and other interested parties a large amount of illustrated literature, and also talked with great numbers, explaining the conditions nad climate of this favored section. Numbers of the people with whom they talked seemed surprised to learn that good corn could be so successfully grown in the South, and in some in stances they were accused of bringing Western corn in their exhibit. They feel confidenfNhat this advertiseising tour of the Atlantic Coast Line will prove of great benefit to the sections traversed by that line. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS Editor Journal: "The freedom of speech and of the press shall not be abriged." So says the Constitution of the United States. At the very beginning of our National existence it was seen that the strongest if not the only bulwark against official persecution and oppression lay In a free press and a free platform and the right of the people to criticise any and every public act of every public official, therefore the. Fathers of this Republic incorporated the principle in the funda mental law of the" land, and there is today ' no guaranteed right dearer to the people than this right to freely ex press their opinions on every subject affecting the Common welfare. . It is a law of nature that nothing is greater than its creator. The plain citiien, voter, -tax-payer is the creator of every official, and we pay hint to do our work. 4 If his work is .satisfactory, it is to our advantage to encourage him by telling him so, and so get even more willing and efficient service from him. If his work is not for our benefit or to oar satisfaction, then, it is our right and duty to let him know It, and to demand that he- do his work better; or get off the job and make room for a' man that is able, and willing to do tut efficient work x- - , i " " It we, the people are competent to select our official servants . we are cer tainly competent to criticise their public acts.. We havfe the right to do so, we have exercised that righV for Over -a century, and we shall continue to exer cise it while the Republic stands.' y F. A. BROWN.

PROBABLY A DISEASE CARRIER Order is First Step In Newly Con ceived Campaign of Protection of Public. Washington, October 22 Convinced that the public drinking cup is a car rier of infectious and contagious di seases the Public Health Service has promulgated an order which prohibits its use on rail or water common car riers engaged in interstate cpmmerce in the United States. This order is the first step in a newly conceived campaign of protection for both passengers and inhabitants touch ed by common carriers against disease spread through pollution of the high ways and streams by passing trains and vessels. The second step will be taken next week, when an order will be issued requiring that all water used for drinking purposes on trains andvessels engaged in interstate commerce shall be guaran teed as to its purity by health author ities of theState from which it is drawn. BUILDING WHARF FOR FAIR GROUND BOATS. Piling is now being driven for the wharf to be erected at the foot of Pol lock street and to be used as a landing plate for the boats running to and from the Fair Grounds next week. This work was started yesterday morning and the wharf will be completed by Saturday night. It was at first suggested that the land ing for the boats to be used in trans porting the visitors to the Fair who-pre-ferred going by the water routes, be made to the foot of Broad street at the wharf which is better known as Cook's, pavilion. At this place there is a depth of more than ten feet and there was no danger of any of the vessels running aground. However, the cost of repairing and putting it in shape would have been too great and the point at the foot of Pollock street was found to be just as suitable. There will be fifty or more boats in service during each day of the Fair and these will be capable of transporting several thousand people each day. FREIGHT CARS SCARCE. Owing to the heavy demand for freight cars in Western -States there is a serious car shortage in the Eastern States and particularly in North Caro lina where the majority of the cars are owned by Northern and Western com panies. On the Noi folk-Southern line the majority of tbe cars are being utilized in handling the rush shipments while the freight which does not posi tively have to reach its destination at once is sometimes held over for a day or two. CONTRIBUTE TO WAR FUND. The Greeks of this city have contri buted seventy-five dollars which will be sent to help pay the expenses" of other Greeks who may wish to return to their native'land to enlist their services in the war. At Wilmington last Sunday the Greeks of that city held a big m&ss meeting and contri butions from all over the State were received an forwarded to the -Greek, consul at New York. . More than pne thousand dollars was Contributed at this meeting. Unless ... the situation grows consideralby Worse none of the local Greeks will return home to assist in the fight against the Turks; , . ,. TEASING MAN SHOT Suffern, N. f.
