In the short article on the ironclad gunboat Neuse' published in today's Journal there are mibtakes that can be easily-corrected now, but in a fe yeai sthis and many other stories will have passed beyond our reach. Tnis guobctat is mentioned . in the editorial of "Carolina and the Southern Cross V published in- November, with promise of other particulars about it at another time. . Just here is may be proper to call attention to the fact that the U.

Democratic party is concerned. - N i Ten " more Democratic Conirressmert were elected from-- Northern5 States than from, those of the South, granting to, the Southern group Arizona, New Mexico and all the so-called border States." , This important facf. was developed when a "review of the fjal Congres sional ..returns" was trade. It was shown that out of a total of 2M Demo cratic 1 Congressmen now elected to scats in trje next House 152 will come from Northern territory and 14J from Southern. . ' For half a centurv the Democratic patty has been looked upon as a sec tional purty. JEven when Clevelend was elected and when Tilden outpolled Hayes, the South was regarded as the only real bulwark of the party. This was the section that had been loyal to Democratic national tickets through all the lean years as well as in the fat years. Even when the Democratic party controlled th ellouse during the Speaker ship of Crisp, of Carlisle and Randal, Southern Democrats were in a majority. They have beeu in a majotrity as often as they have dominated the lower branch of Congress. ' The forthcoming Congress, however, will see that party on a complete national basis for the first time since the Civil War. Here is the way it will vork out : Northern States will be represented by the Democrats in the House as follows: California, 3; Colorado, 4; Connecticut, 5; Delaware, 1; Illinois, 21; Indiana, 13;, Iowa, 3; Kansas, 5; Maine, 1; Massachusetts, 7; Michigan, 2; Minne sota, 1; Montana, 2; Nebraska, 3; New Hampshire, 2; New Jercsy, 11 New York, 32; Ohio, 19; Pennsylvania, 12; -Rhode Island, 2; Wisconsin, 3; total of 152.

President Taft's Thanksgiving turkey is being given a daily: massage by Horace Vose, who for . many autumns has made a practice of donating a bird to the White House table. ;" Massaging a turkey, it may be men tioned for the benefit of laymen consists in gently rubbing the crop of the fowl in order to' facilitate the diges tion of, the contents of said crop. -Most turkeys are fed on corn at fat tening timer just before killing, but this particular--, turkey, s ' luxuriating on chestnuts as'to .-ve .it a - sort' of nutty'flavon-; v' , ; Alscy the White!

Robert Smith, a young white min convicted at the October term of Craven County Superior Court on a-charge of the laVceny of aeveral boxes of cigars from M. 1.. Jacobs & ( ompany and sentenced to a teim of twelve jnoriths in jail, has again denioustiated the fact that the county jail cannot bold a prisoner who has made up his mind to escape, Friday morning Smith was in his cell. This morning Smith is "Some where", While the sheriff and his deputies are using all know u methods to locate the escaped criminal and return him to durance vile. During the wee sma' hours yesterday morning Smith who was confined in a room on the second floor of the building. knocked a hole in the ceiling, presum ably with a chair as that was the only implement in the place which he could have used for the purpose, drew him self and a quantity of bed clothing through the aperture and after reinov jng a trap door, reached the roof. There he made a rope out of the bed clothing and lowered himself to the ground. The discovery of the escape of the prisoner was made vesterday mornin by Jailer Riggs and a search at o net begun for the man but he had lost no time in shaking the dust of New Bern from his feet and could not be located. During the past six or eight months a number of men have made their escape from the jail, on one occasion using the method employed bv bmith. Several of these have been recaptured while the others-are yet at large. SHE HAD TO STOP SMOKING Surprised When Hotel Man Tells Her to Desist. Boston, Nov. 23.

The Princess flatly refused to be ii terviewd at 10:30 a. m. "You Ameri cans choose barbarously early hours," was the indignant message she sent to the hopeful interviewer. "And 1 Will not be annoyed at daybreak by giving" my views on any subject under the sun no, not even on cigarettes." ' The.
