(By Mrs. L. V. Archbell. ' As numerous inquiries, concerning ""Carolina and The Southern Cross" . are received by the editor daily, it may be helpful to the New Bern U D. C. Chapter, who are working for the January isue ,if some of these inquiries are answered through the newspapers. The V. I). C division of our State has' an educational clause in its con stitution, 'i'he idea of starting the ublication of a niagaiii.' after the stitution. The idea of starting the publication of a magazine for the i. ( division, oci : i u d to the editor alter she hail bci n inteil on the edit ca- jional committee and realized some of tlu' dilticulties j! thai body. 'i'he magazine was not started as a money making scheme, but to place the truth of history, so far as our own State is roncerned, within the grasp of our own populace, in order to counteract the untruth that floats in, not only through -hool books, but on every wave of literature that enters the State from the outside. In order to gain a personal knowledge of the kind of literature lh--t mir children read I subscribed for f nir cheap magazines, and at the next meeting of the children's auxiliary l!. D. C. 1 found that a majortyt of the children had read these magazines in their own homes. Three out of the lour numbers that were received in lhc first month .contained articles lhat were meant to influence readers to believe that the only reasons for the . war on the part of the North were to preserve the Union under the constitu tion of our fathers, and save the slaves from wicked and cruel servitude, while on the part of the South the.object was to destroy the Union for the sake of slavery and that Southern people were' rebels and traitors' to their country. Two trump cards in this same of history, so to speak, were the charming personality of Mr Lincoln, his kindness, his patriotism, his unerring truth and honesty in all things, and his , uperior judgment of what was best lor the country; and the "Flag," "Old ory", '.'The flag, the flag, the flag;" and the impression that all who were arrayed against the flag were traitors. One article .boldly declared in a con- , venation bewteen a Confederate Col nel and his son that the "North was right," making the son place -himself on the side against which his father ttad fought, and thus tacitly own that Ikis Jather was a "Rebel' and traitor." Our busy people do not know what the children are reading - because the f t ,, Average parent rc&di )itttt.,else btrt-tha 'iSr$. -i AAinWfri fli'matfailne4"tWf It lhat impress the child.

"Four Chairmen have died," said Mr. McKinley, "and four who succeeded its ranking members and were ready to step in have la-en defeated for re flection."

NEW BanK MAKES GOOD IIIG GETS HD M SHOT 1UID William, Son of Mr. and Mrs. VV . P. M. Bryan Painfully Injured. LOAD TEARS THROUGH ARM Wound is Bad One But Doctor Thinks Amputation Will Be Unnecessary. William, the sixteen year old son 'of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. M Bryan, who reside on Pollock street, was seriously wounded yseterday afternoon when a full load of small shot accidentally fired from a gun, tore through the lower part of his left arm At the lime of the accident young Bryan ajid a companion, Mansell Gahbctt, were n a row hoat a mile or two below Ijie city. With remarkalbe presence of mind young (iabbetl rowed ashore with his wounded companion and medical attention was rendered at onc e. The attending physician stated last night that although the wound was a bad one, there was every probability that amputation would not be neces sary. The boys left the ciiyshotrly after noon yesterday enroute to a point a few miles down Neuse river where they intended spending the afternoon hunt ing small game. A row boat had been secured in which to make the trip and in this the guns and game bags had been placed. In some way the ham mer of one of the guns caught on the side of the boat and there followed a blinding flash and as the smoke clear ed away Gabbett found that his com panion had received almost the entire load of shot in his left arm just above the wrist. Blood was flowing from the wound copiously and Gabbett realized lhat if Bryan's life was to be saved there must be no delay in reaching the shore. Seizing the oars he exerted every effort and the little boat plowed through the water faster probably than ever before. Misfortunes, however, never come singly and at an unexpected moment one of the row locks broke. Not daunted by this, Gabbett shifted his position and succeeded in bringing the boat to shore with one oar. The wounded youth had lost much blood and was in a very weakened condition When he reached the phy sician's office and it was necessary to give him a restorative. Last night aothough suffering much pain,, he was resting as well as could be expected. WOUNDED WITH TOY PISTOL Edward Smith, Eleven Years Old, Gets Shot in Back. A "blank" pistol, a medium-sized shot better known as a bb shot and a boy companion came near causing the death yesterday afternoon of Edward, the eleven-year-old son of E. L. Smith who resides at No. 98 Queen street. Edward and several of his companions among whom was young William Smith, soft' of ' Henderson Smith, had the pistol and bat of cartridges out on thr -street hr frfmt of Edward's home and were prematurely celebrating the holidays. After firing several blank shells the boys placed a shot on top of the charge of a shell and placed a piece of wadding on top of this. William Smith then took the pistol and Edward ran down the street for a shot distance and told him to (take a shot at him. Little realizing the force behind the load ; William pointed the pistol and fired. Immediately there was a scream from the human target. . vv The wounded lad's mother heard the cry and rushed to his assistance, A -physician was summoned, and was on the scene, a lew minutes Utter. Upon examination he found that the shot had entered the boy's back and had made quite an' ugly wound. : So deep was the ball imbedded in the flesh that is f was deemed unwise,' to take it out at the ?v time.- The wound is not considered serious ;but the boy had a very narrow secape. .V.. : There is an ordinance prohibiting the discharge of firearms of any - variety in the city limits, but it is rare that a year passes in New Bern without some child being badly hurt ,by the indis criminate use ofvtoy pistols and guns.

HOW TO USE RED CROSS SEALS ON PACKAGES. Some little confusion has resulted from the use of the Red Cross Seals on mail matter. The public should take note of the fact that the act of "sealing" a package of mail makes it Lfirst class matter. The simple act of stamping the package with the little device does not bring it under the first class heading, but when the stamp is placed over the fastening of a container, such as wrapping string on a package, it becomes literay sealed. On mail of whatever class the Christ mas seal chould be placed on the reverse side from the address. GENERATOR COMES Only a Few Days Now Before "Juice" Can be Turned on.

After this has been installed, which Will probably take a day or more of work preliminary tests will be made and it is probable that the first "juice" will be shot over the new line by next Wednesday. As soon a all neces sary tests have been made of the line and also of the cars the latter will be put in operation. ' NEW ADYKRTISKaf BKT& Bain & Styron Watch Ghent grow.
