It is onlv natural that they should he he ones thashould start a move ment that means so 'much to them, that means the b, uilding up of the agricultural pact of -the county as nothing else . could, . that . means th bringing of city comforts and pleasure in the now 'obscure countrv resident, But more than evertyhing . else,, it wilW do more toward stopping the drift of the best blood in the cot(fntry to the towns every year. It will -mean Ntlie keeping i the farms of hundreds and heundrds of boys and girls, of men an -I women that the farm can ill afford to lost. , , . , No country can expect a 'maximum of progress, so long as it neglects iu churches,, schools, and roads. These things must go along together, . It is k conceded fact that the natural resources of Craven county are great compared .with 'others but to get the greatest return for these resources, we must reduce the cost of handling to the lowest possible margin.' , One way and the besVway to do this is to im prove the public roads to such condition as will make travel a p'easure instead of the "drudge it now is. - And to do this. we need the support and help of every man woman an I child.'' ' , As a member of the .Ernul Good Roads committee I ask' the' active support of every farmer and busines";! man in -this county in thi movement, that means so much to us. The Farmers' Union ' will meet at the Court House in New Bern, Satur day, Dec. 7, at 2 o'clock. Ever member in the county i requested to be present "and make this movement a certnlnt before , the Legislature meets. ' . i , , If there re those who are opposed tft bettering the roads of the . county would ask thcrn for shame' to stand back and take1 no part in the fight.

Dr. J. F. Foley meat and lpjlk In spector, last night presented his re port to the Board of Alderman as .fol lows: I have inspected numerous carcasses of food animals and as a rule I have found they were in good condition ; except the kidneys - of bogs of which, I found numerous carcasses affected wjtht the round worms which are common in hogs. While I condemned the kidneys of such hogs, the remainder of the meat was passed as, these do not necessitate the condemnation of the entire carasss, or in any way affect the wholesomeness of the remainder of the carcass. The condition of the meat is far better than the existing; conditions a month, ago and I hope to be able tp make a more favorable report of them next month. I have endeavored to secure the co-operation of the1, pro prietors and to make them realize the neccessity of keeping their places of business well screened and the sur roundings clean and sightly. While I could have beep more severe and en forced the rules more rigidly, I doubt if I could have accomplished as much as I have done. My object is to get the proprietors to realize that the en forcement of the Sanitary Law has passed the theoretical stage and is only what they . would expect' to be done were they in any other business. DAIRIES. I have inspected the dairies of the city and the ones which supply milk to the city and find that there is much work to be done in this line. As with the meat, so with the dairies. 1 have endeavored to' get the co-operation of the proprietors and, make them realize that dairy products are the cause of disseminating diseases and the cause of many deaths, which have been attri buted to' other causes. The germ theory, which many educated people but a short time ago Ridiculed, has so forcibly been demonstrated by men of unquestionable ability and integrity, that today a large majority of the same people accept the formV- theory as a well established fact. , . But a f small number of the dairymen think it is an encroachment upon their personal pri-l leges to s be 'compelled to make changes which will assure the public a whole some milk supply'.' : While the co-opera tion of all the dairymen is earnestly xolicited, at the same time' laws gover ning the milk inspection, whiciras has been stated, are of a resaonable and practical ' nature, will . in the future be . rigidly vl enforced. j-- Nuirierous ? 're quests have been made of me to give a report of the sanitation -of certain dairies.- While (retrained front giving- precedence to any dairy,, -l do tnink the public should ha ve 1 the r privilege of seeing my report ;and 'with, the ap proval of the Honorable jaayor.and the Board of Aldermen t' will give those who desire,, access to the monthly re port of da"irys inspection. While hp doubt this 1 will ' be" objectionable to some of the dairymen,, because itwould give the best kept dairy wider publicity which is 'really "the chief object of the inspection. - - . , . . v ' , - FISH MARKETS. . yyt. Some ot the hsh markets were m a very unsanitary condition.' and - after I made repeated requests of the 'pro prietors to clean 'up.-! found it neces sary to have one ol i said' 'proprietors indicted and fined. ."Since that time his place has been kept clean. , - -' As Humane Officer) 1 was compelled to put several hof ses -off. the -street, as being unfit for ..service and " warned several Others ' that is 'soon as they could replace their horses that it must be. done, or I would be compelled to serve notice on them that the animals now owned by them were" unfit for service.

The bids ranging from $12,459 to $18,550. There wa -considerable discussion on -the advis 'abiltiy of selections either of these bids andAIdernian Ellis finally, made a motion ihat the whole matter be re ferred to the Water and Light Com mittee tp be investigated and to be reported on at the next meeting and some action taken at that time. There was .more discussion on 'this motion and then Alderman Ellis asked to be allowed to read a Iettr which had been written to Judge O. H. Guion by a representative of the Carolina Power Company of Raleigh. In thi communication the writer advised against any futrher expenditure bv the city in connection with the elcetric light plant, adding that if the Carolina n i ... . Irwwcr ,uniaiiy purcnasea tne plant. in this city they would not take such expenditures into consideration. Aldcramn Ellis- produced another letter to Judge Guion and which was written by the president of the com pany. In this the writer stated thai he would be glad to come to New Bern at any time and look over the plan' and also consider any proposition which would be made to his company. After Mr. Ellis had read these letters, 'his motion to hold up on the matter of awarding the contract until the next meeting was seconded and carried. , Doctors N. M. Cibbs, Joseph Pat terson and Raymond Pollock appeared before the Board and stated that the Seaboard Medical Association, a medi cal organization composed of some ol the leading physicians in North Caro lina and, Virginia, would meet in New Bern on December 3 for a three days' session and that they would appreciate the courtesv if the Board would assist in entertaining the visitors, tfpon motion fifty dollars was donated for this purpose. 'Alderman Kafer reported that he had received prices for the curbing to be placed oh George street. He stated that the curbing could be purchased for twenty one cents a foot for the slabs and twenty-four cents a foot, running measure, for the curved pieces that would be required in the work.
