GOOD ROADS NEEDED.
Counties like Guilford and Mecklen
burg built good roads when there wasn't
anything like the information avail
able as to road-building that there is
now and those counties have been
going ahead at a rapid rate. Craven
is in sore need of better roads and while
it is making .some progress with things
as they are now, we believe it would
make very much greater progress if
it would -launch on a good-sized scale
ifa program of road building: For
jghese reasons we deplore the reverse
which the movement for a good roads
bond issue met here yesterday.
NEW BERN AND THE NORFOLK
SOUTHERN.
Rightly or wrongly the Norfolk
Southern Railroad thinks New Bern
has shown a grasping attitude in its.
dealings with it. We have heard that
it claims that when it proposed to
buy some land here on which to build
(hops an extravagant price was asked.
It is probable also that the railroad
thinks that the city was disposed to
drive as hard a bargain as it could in
connection with the paving of certain
streets. Anyhow the circumstances
are such as to indicate that the proposed
curtailment of service here has grown
out of a spirit of retaliation for injuries
real or fancied. If such is the case
New. Bern ought to know it. New
Bern needs the Norfolk Southern and
the Norfolk Southern needs New Bern.
The relations between the city and the
railroad should be friendly for each
profits from the prosperity of the other.
There is room here for the Northern
Coast Line outlet and the moveroeOM
to get it is one of the most deserjjJjbT
ever started here, we nope tnat tnere
will be no let up until the new" line of
railroad is secured. But New Bern
also needs the Norfolk Southern and
the very best service that that
railroad will give. To this end we
believe there ought to be a better tinder
standing between the city and the rail
road. The proposed change in sched
ules operating to the disadvantage of
New Bern should not be allowed to go
into e fleet without a clearing up ot the
situation as to how the Norfolk South
ern management feels toward New
'Bern. Of' course the city cannot ex
pect any more in the way of railroad
facilities than the business which it pro
duces justifies but it wants all that the
business does justify and it wants a
clear understanding of the reasons
which actuate the railroad in curtail
ing the railroad facilities if indeed it
does curtail them.
The Chamber of Commerce will of
course take the matter up and the out
come of its"inquiry into the matter
together 'with full information as to
the nature of the changes proposed
will have to be awaited before an in
telligent opinion can be formed as to
whether the railroad is disposed to
treat the city unfairly.

Bern's future as taken by the writer,
The proposed park that is mentioned
in the communication would mean
changing the whole facts of the earth in
the locality mentioned, but a park of
such dimensions with such a location
and view is an agreeable thing to think
about at any rate, and may some ' day
when New Bern is very much larger
than it is now, be realized. "Fair
Play" thinks New Bern' has a great
future. The way it is gaining ground
now would certainly indicate as much
POOR SQUTH CAROLINA.
(New York World.)
Poor ' South Carolina! To be re
presented at the Conference of Gover
nors at Richmond by a vulgar dema
gogue like Cole Blease.?
If any other State after one exper
ience had re-elected as Governor such
a type of vicious .blatant .politician
it would cause surprise. But South
Carolina is only fulfilling its fate.
After hlf a century of corruption
and lawlessness, after fifty years of
misrule by carpet-baggers, by ignorant
negroes, by crooked corporation in
terests, by political feudists and pro
fessional inciters of race hatred, it has
descended so low as to put the mark
of approval on Cole Blease for a second
time. A Governor who preaches mob
murder and publicly provokes passio
nate men to open crime; a Governor
who appeals to the criminal instincts
of men who need to be restrained and
courts the support of criminals in and
out of jail; a Governor who flouts the
law, scoffs at the courts, defies de
cency; a tjovernor who gives public
notice that mobs and murderers can al
ways look to him for official protection;
a Governor so dcpraVed as to proclaim
himself the advocate of wholesale I
lynching , who parades as the friend of
men who act like beasts- this is the
kind of Governor South Carolina has
made its spokesman. "
For fifty years South Carolina has
been prostrate. By choice it remains
prostrate, and Cole Blease is its Gov-
rnor.
Poor South Carolina.
"THE CLIMAX'
Said to Be the One Bit Theatrical
success ot rear.
There has been a great deal of in
terest manifested in the forthcoming
engagement of Joseph M. Weber's
charming play "The Climax" by Joseph
Carl Briel, which will be seen at the
Masonic Theatre next Tuesday night.
'The Climax" is said to be the one big
success of the year, scoring a most
unprecedented triumph at Weber's
famous New York play house where
it will been seen for many weeks to
come, and will undoubtedly be the
strongest and most wholesome offering
that will be seen here this season." So
great has been the demand for the play
throughout the coiintry -that Manage
Weber will have ' no fewer than five
companies en tour this season. It can
be truthfully said that the sun never
sets on "The Climax", as it will be
seen in .America, England, Australia;
Germany, dtaly,s India, France, Spain,
Sweden, Africa, South America and
in other parts of the world where it
will be played in all languages. ' " -

to keep the lungs and throat in a good
healthy condition. You do not in
herit consumption, but you can inherit
weak lungs. And as the air is filled
witn tuDercule bacilli germs, your
weak lun2s are a fine feeding place1 for
them. Now what are you going to
