IOUE0E ONLY FEW OF TEE STATES TQOL ROOSEVELT Senator Dixon Says There Is Fatal Error in Demo cratic Figures. New York, Nov. 6. Estimates gath ered by World correspondents in every State in the country and based upon the figures of the leaders oT all the parties indicate little change, in the forecast of the national election pub 'Ws tished by the World last Sunday. These ijk'ji-j indications are as follows: That Wilson and Marshall will carry 39 of the 48 States, with a total of 484 oat of the 531 electoral votes." That President Taft will carry seven States with a toatl of 32 electoral votes. That Colonel Roosevlet will carry two States, with a total of IS electoral votes. That the Democrats will surely win three Senate seats and have ;in over ' whelming majority in the House. That the popular plurality for Wil son and Marshall will exceed 2,500,000 votes. That the plurality for Wilson and Marshall in New York Slate will ap proximate 120,000. That SuUer will have a plurality of at least 60,000 over Hedges, the regular Republican candidate, who will 1 in turn lead Straus, the Progressive- candidate. That both the New York State Sen ate and Assembly will be Democratic. Dixon's Prediction. "Approximately six million vote? will be cast for Roosevelt and Johnson out of a total of fifteen million," said Senator Dixon. "The fatal error in Democratic estimates is the assumption that Wilson wilt poll the Bryan vote of four years ago. The progressive party program has appealed mightily to the great industrial classes of the nation. "Roosevelt and Johnson will sweep the big industrial centers with a land slide. "It is a conservative statement to say that Tuesday Roosevelt will re ceive at least sixty per cent of the Taft vote of four years ago and certainly not less than fifteen per cent of the Bryan vote of that year." The interest in the Senatorial contest overshadows sveryth'nr else connected with the election in New Bern. Dif- V'jference of opinkn exists however only ."..: Tas to the size of Senator Simmons fuajority over the combined votes of his opponents. Judge Clark and Gov pernor Kitchin. Some of the more enthusiastic of the Senator's friends aay his majority will run as high as 50,000, but the more conservative say it will be from fifteen to twenty :five thousand. Next to t e Senatorial contest in interest here i tee Presidential contest. The sentimi n is v ry general that Wil son cannot fiil (f ilttion, but there is some Roosevjlt sentiment too, the few who reflect it hclding that the Colonel is more pop lar even than generally supposed and will sweep the country with a tidal wave. Of course the State ticket will go through with a whoop. Nobody hardly PROGRAM AT THE ATHENS MONDAY. I ;.,.

New York, Nov. 4 The folowing statement by Governor Wilson democ ratic candidate for the presidency, was issued through the headquarters of the national committee. "The issue is now clearly made up and gjes to the people. I, for one, don't doubt the verdict. The voters miut take one or another of three choices. . "First, intrust the government to the regular Republican party again, which always begins a campaign with promises of action and then always, at the end, draws back and warns against change dreading to attempt anything at all for fear it should not satisfy those who conr trol credit and whom it has so long per mitted to act as trustees for the people in every matter of policy. "Second, place the guidance of their affairs in the hands of men who are searching about for some new way in which to perform old duties, all along plain and imperative, which can easily be performed without the invention oT new methods for example, without shifting the whoh energy and initiative of the law to the executive branch of the1' government. "Third, go forward, without post ponement or experiment or confusion, to effect the reforms which the whole country waits for and which all parties profess to believe necessary, through the instrumentality of a great established and undivided party, clear and explicit as to its purposes, willing to effect them by the ordinary process of legislation; willing to be guided by the common council of the nation as a whole, the plain people with the rest, regardful of every interest the little as well as the big, because connected with every- in terest by sympathy and comprehension and soberly determined, to obey the voice of thoughtful men everywhere by a carefully considered course of moderate, yet courageous reform. - v' : t ; T .

Simmons wil carry (he State by at least 25000 majority over the comb ned votes of I is op ponents an J thit his maj ;nty in Cr veri County will be upwrads of 1 500. In view of hU residence among us and his great services to t he State and t e party and the position of commanding influence he is to occupy in the Senate it is proper that Craven County should give h m its unanimous vote. So let every Democrat do his tul duty looking to this end. M D LANE, President Simmons Club Craven County A DOLLAR COMPANY East Carolina Lumber Company Granted Charter By Sec retary of State. TO BE LOCATED ATJAMES CITY New Company Win Probably Uae Plant of Mills CnmpbaU Lumber Company. One of the largest corporation charter issued in several months was issued last Saturday by the Secretary of State to the East Carolina Lumber Company, of James City, Craven county. The company has an author ized capital of $1.00,000 and will begin business with $50,000. The incor porators are Messrs. John Guion and Charles H. Hall of this city and Charles H. Turner of New York. Although the new company has been incorporated, it has not been organized and ud to the present time no definite plans have been made. Mr. Guion stated last night that the company would do a general lumbering and mill ing business and that it would be one of the largest concerns of the kind in North Carolina. The plant is to be at James City but no definite arrangements have yet been made as regards the exact location or the size of the plant. The incorpor ators will meet at an early aate, or ganize and make arrangements to be gin operations. It is probable that the newly or ganized company will use the plant of the Mills Campbell Lumber Company, which has not been in operation for some time, but but one ot tne incor porators said that nothing .decisive as to this could be given out until after the organization meeting of the stockholders.

The heroic mu sicians who played "Nearer ,My God, to Thee" as the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic last April were honored Sunday in memory by musicians here.

The tablet, 30 by 24 inches, bears a feminine figure, symbolic of music, placing a wreath od oak leaves on an expanse of placid water, broken by an iceberg. Beneath is the inscription: "A tribute to the bandsmen of the Titanic. When the order was 'each man for himself," these heroes remained on board and played until the last." Then follow the first two bars of music of "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and the name9 Wallace Hartely, band master; George Krans, Boger Bricoux, W. T. Brailey, J. Wesley Woodward, P C. Taylor, J. F. T.

' '' C:;;'; FORM MILLION CARS DELAYED TO BE HERE Should Be Running on New Bern Ghent Strete Railway by December. EVERYTHING READY FOR THEM Car Barn Finished and Final Touches Being Added to Power House. Unless some unexpected delay again occurs. New Bern citizens will have an opportunity during the next three weeks of riding over the new street car line. Dr. E. C. Armstrong, one of the local managers of the New Bern Ghent 'Street Railway Company, who own and will operate the line, stated yesterday that everything was now in readiness for the operation of cars and as soon as they arrived, they would be put in operation. The car barn sit mated out near the New Bern water and light plant hah been completed and the workmen are now adding the finishing touches to t he power house which is located near Ropers' mill?. The engines and dy namos have already been installed in the plant and it is practically ready for operation at this time. A line of poles has been erected from the power house to the car barn. These poles will be used to hold the feed wires which will carry the electricity to Ghent and which will be used for il luminating purposes. It is the in tention of the management to place lar,ge cluster lights at different points in Ghent. These lights have been used extensively in the suburban sec tions of other cities and have proven highly satisfactory. In addition to this the company will place lights along much of their line, these to be used in addition to the city's lights which are now in service. The cars have been shipped from the firm who built them and are en route to New Bern. There has been some delay in the transprotation but there is said to be no boubt that they will arrive here and be in operation by the latter part of this month. The dynamos which will furnish the power for the cars each have a capacity of one Hundred horse power and will amply supply the current needed by both the cars and the lighting system. SCHOONER FOUNDERS. News was received in this city yester- terday of the foundering last Saturday in Pamlico sound of the two masted schooner, Annie Farrow, owned by Mr. R. S. Burrus, of Hyde county. At the' time of the accident the vessel had on a cargo of merchandise and farm produce and was manned by a crew of three. The boat ran into a gale and despite the efforts of the crew, sank, carrying her entire cargo with her. The crew got into a small skiff which was carried on board and rowed to. shore. The ves sel was worth several hundred dollars and the cargo was valued at about five hundred dollars. It is thought that it will be possible to raise the sunken craft.

"j "; . t ": :;v SOON SIMMONS GREETED WITH WILD EMTH1ISIJISM IM-MATIVEGOHNTY !d EVEN PERISH IN STORIW-SWEPTSEA One, Captain Fredrick Godfrey Rescued by Life-Savers of New Inlet Station. WALKED OUT UP TO ARM PITS The Shooner John Maxwell Poun ded to Pieces Saturday on Hatteras Shoals. Norfolk, Va., November 4. The sole survivor of the threemasted schooner John Maxwell, wrecked on the shoals off New Inlet, N. C, is Captain Fred erick Godfrey. The other men on the ill-fated vessel, seven in number, are known to have perished. Lashed to a piece of wreckage, Cap tain Godfrey, who clung to his ship until it broke in two, was rescued by the life-savers of the New Inlet sta tion yesterday morning at 1 o'clock. The surf men walked out up to their armpits and threw the half unconscious man a life-line. He was dragged through the breakers more dead than alive. After being revived, the cap tain, who has a wife livine at Mill- bridge, Me., told how the other nun on his vessel died, and gave the names of two of t hem. Mate Wallick, of Boston, with the five members of the crew, perished early Saturday morning, when they tried to reach the shore in a small boat launched soon alter the schooner struch the shoal. The steward, Alexander Pilimos, of ong Island, N. Y., where he has a ife and two children living jumped into the storm-swept sea Saturday af ternoon while temporarily insane from the suffering he had borne. The schooner and cargo of coal are a total loss. New York, November 4. A. H. Bull & Co., part owners of the schooner John Maxwell, which was pounded to pieces yesterday on the Hatteras hoals, received word today that the vessel's captain, Frederick Godfrey, had been washed ashore clinging to a piece of wreckage. Although Captain Godfrey suffered from exposure, he is expected to live as the only survivor of the crew of seven men aboard the Maxwell when she struck F'riday night while bound from Norfolk to Savan nah. The telegram received by the won- ers came from another captain in their service at Norfolk. How Captain Godfrey fought to save hinself all Saturday afteronon aid half of Saturday night from the clutch ing high seas sweeping over his craft? in an endless procession forms one of the most thrilling chapters in the his tory of the "graveyard of the Atlantic." But for his indomitable courage he too would have perished as did all the others on the Maxwell. Darkness shut down Saturday with Captain Godfrey clinging to the one remaining mast, his mate, steward and crew having perished in a vain effort to reach the shore. The schooner was fast going to pieces, timber by timber, under the incessant pounding of the waves. Lashed to the cross bar of the lone mast the captain watched the bulwarks wash away. Then the schooner began to break in two. About midnight the mast to which the brave mariner was clinging began to totter and sway before the attack of wind and water. Seeing' that too, would soon follow the other sticks, Captain Godfrey lowered himself in the face of what seemed certain death to what was left of the wave swept deck. Just as the last mast fell he reached Whe crane on the stern of the vessel. As that also swept over the side he secured himself to it with two turns of the rope which had held him to the mast- Through the whirlpool of water the slight' spar bobbled and whirled the captain on ? top, , sometimes the spar. Ashore the life guards saw the vessel break half in two and : glimpsed : the captain as he started on his perilous voyage, 1 They ruBhed intoihe surf up to their armpits And s the spar came hurtling through .the .breakers 'they threw a life line to the captain, j He, half drowned a ndbareley Conscious of what he was doing, grasped the .rope sand was hauled ashore; ; - " ( They carried him to the nearby life? saving - station, and, " with copious draughts of a stimulant revived the half dead man. .

Simmons closed his campaign lor the Senate in his home county at Trejiton yesterday amidst the wildest enthusiasm ever witnessed in the political history of the countv. The Senator went to Trenton from New Bern by automo'ule making a short stop at his plant a; ion on his way. The people of his native county turned out en masse and the crowd was en larged by many people from adjoining countie A few miles from Trenton two hun dred anil fifty horsemen met the Sena tor and his party and escorted them to the court house at Trenton where three thousand people had assembled to hear the speech. l iioti his arrival a remarkable ovation was given Imn by demons! iat ion Listing in.iiiv minutes. The Senator seemed to be deeply touched by the great honor ,n c i rded to him and his old friends sav that he made the greatest speech of his lile. After referring to his ow n elect ion liricfh he spoke for the eleition of Wilson and Craig dc'dirine that as !( h as he would like to be ic-elected would prefer his own defeat to that ol either Wilson or Craig It is said that this occasion excelled anvlhing of the kind ever held in a countiv town the state. Druing the past week Senator Sim mons has addressed more than eleven thousand people. From the reception accorded him and from his general knowledge of the situation he believes that he will be renominated by a de cisive majority. HAVE YOU HELPED Not, Treasurer S. M. Brinson Will Be Very Glad to Receive Your Subscription. FUND HAS NOW REACHED $225 Those Who Feel Like Helping are Asked Not ot Wait To Be Solicited. The De Graffenried monument fund has now reached the two hundred and twenty-five dollar mark and is still growing. It is has been estimated that this monument will cost about six hundred dollars to erect and there remains a shortage of more than three hundred dollars to be contributed. Edgar Walnau, who has been doing the soliciting for the monument fund, states that on account of his other work he will not be able to do much more on the monument undertaking. So the public is urged not to wait for a solicitor to come b Jt to show their interest in this very important matter by letting Treasurer S. M. Brinson know how much they will contribute A pledge to pay when called on is all that is asked now. New Bern has no monument in memory of her famous men and it is felt on the part of the promoters that every citizen should take an interest in this movement. The city is rich in historical interest and well deserves some such token to some man who assisted in making the place what it is. The list of contributors will again be published in the Journal during the next few days. . ' dry . clothing and Wrapped in warm blankets.
