BUYING VERY LITTLE MEAT
Instead of That They Are Bring
ing It to Market and Get
ting Good Price.
For the past year or more the Far
mers' Unions all over the country have
been urging the farmers to raise more
4Xrn, wheat and oats and devote less
of (heir time and land to growing the
.customary money crops, such as cotton
and. tobacco. That the farmers in
Craven county have heeded thise--quest
is evidenced by the fact that the
bay and grain dealers in this city, who
supply the wants' of practically every
laxmer in the county, say that their
trade in these articles has greatly de
creased during the pasr few months
and that the amount of feedstuff's being
old at this time U not near as large as
At the same time during last year.
' Another noticeable thing is that the
farmers are now buying but little meat

" A few years ago it was not an unusual
thing to see a farmer come to the city,
go to a grocery store or wholesale
dealer and buy one or two hundrid
pounds of hog meat. This condition
was brought about by the fact that
they paid but little attention to raising
hogs. Every week there are now brought'
to New Bern many hundreds of pounds
of meat and sold to dealers and con
sumers. The farmers receive a good
price for thi& meat and also do not
have to purchase that which they use
for their own comnsiiption.
NEGROES WHERE FOR TAFT
It la Said They Feared Roosevelt
Would Send Them to Africa.
Washington. Nov. 7. William B.
Smallwood, a member of the' Mary
land Hpue of Delegates from Prince
George cqifnty, brought to Washington
today an explanation why the negro
vote in that county went go heavily
for Taft when it wis counted on for
Roosevelt. It seems that a few -days
ago a negro politician from Baltimore
campaigned through the county for
Taft. He gave the negroes a new ver
sion of Roosevelt's African trip, saying
that tb big Bull Moose went to the
Uark Continent expressedly ior the
' tptrrpose of finding a country to which
. lie', intended to send all the American
tapgroes whn he became Presidnet again.
"We Roosevelt workers couldn't
budge thte ne'gro voters," said Mr.
''Smallwood today. "They had it in
their heads that if Roossvelt was elected
they would all be sen,t to Africa, and
that was 'why Colonel Roosevelt made
his trip to that" country. ,"Tbey lined
sip to the man almost for Taft."

newspapers all speak very i highly
of Woodrow Wilson and of his policies
and politics.
elte
The free trade Westminister Gaze
says the people of the United States, are
clearly ripe for new men and new mea
sures, and adds: -
"Tired of their professional politi
cians tile American people nave ae
ciled to give a new man a trial: so a
learned historian and former college
principal walks into the White House.
Most heartily we wish success to this
experiment with a 'philosopher .king
Deing made in tne most umiKeiy quarter
in the world. From our own experience
with university men in politics we are
encouraged to hope that he will prove
as shrewd and practical as any of the
old stagers in American politics."
1 heodore Koosevelt s position in
the poll," according to he Westminster
Gazette, "justifies his incursion into
the election' arena, while president Taft
willvget sympathy owing to the cir
cumstances which set him up as the
candidate of a divided party and with
the strongest single personality in the
country disputing his claim."
The Evening Standard says:
"Woodrow Wilson will command
confidence in his own country and in
the world outside. He is a public man
of much higher type than some of those
who have occupied the White House.
The Democrats did a good stroke of
business for their party when they
chose him. They had the sense to see
that the great body of respectable
citizens ol the United states wer
heartily tired of the sordid squabbles
of party managers, with the accom
panying -ehicane, intrigue and self
seeking."
FINANCIERS ARE CHEERFUL.
Say Business Interests Will Be Safe
Under Wilson.
Washington, Nov. 7. A Democratic
administration at Washington holds no
terrors for financiers and business men
of the District, according to interviews
given out today.
The statement of Charles C. Glover,
president of the Riggs National BankL
is typical:
"I have never felt less pessimistic as
to the business future than now. I am
delighted that with President-elect
Wilson there will come in a Democratic
Senate and Democratic House. ThU
will mean that the responxibletis of
government will be solely upon the
Democrats. And responsibilities brings
a conservation on business lines that
cannot be overestimated.
Mr. Wilson has made a favorable im
pression on people of all classes. He
will, be confronted by teriffic pressure
from' the most radical element of his
party to turn things topsy-turvy, but
I am absolutely confident - that
whatever overturning he may attempt
willhe with the country's best interests
at4ieart, and that the business world
nay feel safe to g forward with its
'work of progress."
John Joy Edson, president of the
Washington Loan and Trust Company,
expressed much the same statement:
"I am not personally acquainted with
Governor Wilson, but I am satisfied
that he will make one of the best Presi
dents we have ever had. He has a
reputation as a conservative man, and
the business interests of the country
will undoubtedly be safe tinder him."

To Prospective Tourists

The Land and Immigration Depart
ment of the Norfolk Southern Rail
way Company is making preparations
to bring another party of western home
seekers to North Carolina. This will
be the seventh party of westerners
brought to this section by this com
pany. On each of the former occasions
the visitors were"vell pleased with what
they saw and learned and several of
them have moved from their western
homes to this State
Mr. B. E. Rice is in charge of this
department of the road and he is an
untiring hustler. On his last trip
through this section and while in New
Bern he stated that the company was
doing all, within its power to aid in
developing this country by bringing
these men to look the land over witlt
len to loc
of settlin
a view ol settling ana that so lar the
r .. . ,
results have been more than gratifiying.
The tour will start at Cincinnati, O.,
and descriptive matter is now being
sent out to prospective tourists. From
Cincinnati the party will be taken to
Norfolk and from there brought on
down through North Carolina, stop
ping at every prominent point along
the road between Norfolk and Beau
fort. At each place, as on former
occasions the visitors will be enter
tained. by the Chamber of Commerce
or some other punlic organization.
The exact date of this seventh home-
seekers' excursion has not been an
nounced, but it will probably be during
the first week in December
MR. MEARES CONGRATULATED
HU- Wilmington Friends Gratified
the Vote He Received Tuesday
(Wilmington Star)
Iredell Meares, Esq., a prominent
member of the Wilmington bar and
one of the best known citizens- of the
city, was heartily congratulated yes
terday by many Wilmingtonians with
out regard to party affiliation on the
fine showing he made in Tueday's
general . election as the Progrssive
candidate for Governor. In the tele
graph columns of yesterday's Star it
was stated that Mr. Meares had re
ceived an estimated vote of 50,000 in
the State against 30,000 for Tom Set-
Ite, the candidate of the regular Re
publican party. Wilmingtonians read
this bit of news with much pleasure
and when Mr. Meares came down lat
er in the day he was most warmly con
gratulated. Tom Settle, admittedly
one of the State's most brilliant men.
a speaker whose equal is hard to find,
expected to get a tremendous vote all
over the State on account of his local
option plank in his platform, but the
returns show most conclusively that
the people did not take Scindly to his
proposition.
The next day after he was nominated
Iredell Meares, Esq., came out strongly
against local option so far as the whisky
question is concerned and he has been
against it all the while. There is little
doubt but that the brilliant Tom Settle
is the greatest' disappointed of the sev
eral, candidates who were defeated at
the polls Tuesday. It might be said
that many of his friends in this county
were also disappointed for not a few
men, some of, them. Democrats, who
voted the, straight . Democratic ticket,
had boasted that he would receive 400
or 500 vote in New Hanover and sev
eral months ago a leading local Demo
crat predicted-that if Settle was nomi-
naieo oy ni pany ne wuuiu ccriaiuiy
make it interesting ' for Craig. The
result tells an entirely different tale. "

ROM
WILSON'S CABINET
Many Prominent Democrats Men
tioned as Possible Appointees.
. Washington, Nov. 7. Cabinet mak
ers already are busy conjuring with
names of those "who will share with
Wilson- in shaping the policy of the
nexj adminstration. Necessarily this
is purely gossip, but the cabinet build
ers are none the less active in point
ing put the persons and the elements
available as cabinet material.
One of the available elements em
braces those who were conspicuous
party figures at the Baltimore conven
tion, including Speaker Clark, Chair
amn Underwood, of the Ways and
Means Committee; William J. Bryan,
Governor Foss, of Massachutts; Gov
ernor Harmon, of Ohio, and some oth
ers. It is generally assumed, how
ever, that Speaker Clark and Chair
man Underwood would prefer to con
tinue their work in Congress, especial
ly now that the legislative program
on the tarirl and other questions is
likely to meet with fewer obstacles.
As to Mr. Bryan, one of the Demo
cratic Senators was quoted during the
campaign as definitely assigning Mr.
Bryan to a cabinet place -in case of
Wilson's election, although the latter
stated about the same time that no
consideration had been given to the
personnel of the cabinet.
Another element from wrjich cabinet
material is being suggested embraces
those who haye been prominently
identified with the Wilson campaign,
notably Chariman McCombs, of the
Democratic National Committee; Rep
resentatives Burleson and Henry, of
Texas; Representative Palmer, of Penn
sylvania; Josephus Daniels, Chairman
of the Publicity Bureau. Assistant
Chairman McAdoo and a number of
others who bore the brunt of the con
flict at Baltimore and during the cam
paign. Still another available element is
made up of prominent party figures in
the various States who vtfre not con
spicuously identified with the recent
National convention and campaign
while another includes some of the
veterans of the last Democratic ad
ministration. Outside of these usual elements
from which cabinets are constructed,
many foresee the entry of a conside
rable new element in public affairs,
made up of men like Mr. Wilson who
have been identified with collegiate,
educational and the economic study of
public questions. This opens a wide
field of available material. All of this
activity of the cabinet makers is ne
cessarily confined as yet to gossip.
Nothing authoritative is expected un
til the President has in his own way
made an- investigation and given con
sideration to those who will make up
his official household.
DEEPENING ONE OF THE CITY
WELLS.
A force of well drillers. is engaged in
deepening one of the wells at the city
water plant. The well was formerly
abcut sixty-five feet deep, but it was
found that the supply of water at thi9
depth was not sufficient and that it
was also not up to the standard in
quality and when the matter was taken
up by the committee in charge of this
dcpitment, they ordered that the
well be driven deeper. After a certain
depth is' reached, only sand is encounter
ed and the drillers, make rapid progress
in their work. The well vnill be deep
ened to a point where both the supply
and the quality of the water are found
satisfactory.

DEATH OF MRS. H1NES
Passed Away Late Wednesday Night
At Home of Son-in-Law.
Mrs. Julia Hines died Wednesday
night at 12.50 o'clock at the home of her
son-in-law, Mr. J. C. Whitty, 34 South
Front street. She sustained a fall
several months ago and had been con
fined to her room ever since. Owing
to this injury and to her advanced age
it has beendenown for some weeks that
it was only a matter of time before she
would pass away.
She was the widow of the late Dr.
Jesse Hines of Trenton, who died in
1861. Had she lived until Dec. 12,
she would have been 84 years old.
She was a member of Centenary
Methodist church and her funeral will
take place from that church this morn
ing at 11 o'clock, Rev. J. B. Hurley,
the pastor, officiating. The interment
will be made at Cedar Grove cemetery.
Owing to her advanced age Mrs.
Hines led a quiet and retired life, but
she had a wide circle of friends whom
she bound to her by the loveliness of
her character and her unfailing cheer
fulness and upon whose lives she exerted
a lasting influence for good.
SENATOR SIMMONS WILL TAKE
A REST.
Senator Simmons yesterday went to
Statesville to enter Long's Sanatorium
for a stay of a few weeks. After a
strenuouscampaign following a long
session of Congress during which he
had very arduous duties, he is thror
dughly fatigued and goes to the sana
torium not because he is sick but in
order to get a complete rest. It is his
present intention not even to partici
pate in the big rally at Asheville next
Tuesday night. .
TOO YOUNG TO WED.
A couple appeared before Register of
Deeds S. H. Fowler yesterday and
indicated their desire to get a marriage
license. As the would-be bride was
wearing a short dress and looked as
young as her dress indicated the register
declined to grant the license on the
ground that the young lady was jiot
of legal age to wed without the consent
of parents. As the consent of the
parents of the girl was not in evidence
the couple went away sorrowful. -
The thanks a man gets for paying for
ducks for his family is he also gets the
