The matter of a place in which to hold the convention supper came up and T. A. Green and W. F. Abtrly were appointed a committee to try to secure a place. Stanley hall semeed to ap peal to the most of the committee as Ihe most suitable place, but Secretary Padgett thought it hardly large enough for the four or five hundred delegates whom he expects to attend the conven tion. The new building of S. B. Parker Craven street was also mentioned 1 lie tollowing committee on music for the convention was appointed: W. F. Aberly, J. W. Watson, Herbert Willis, W. B.

Arrangements For Ministers It was decided to send a registration card without cost to every minister in the territory covered by the convention, wnicn emiiraces a territory wittun a radius of fifty miles with Goldsboro and possibly one or two other places be yond that distance. It is very possible also that the most of the visiting minis ters on arrival will be entertained at private homes free of cost. Prof. H. B. Craven was appointed a committee of one to secure the services of the High School orchestra to play at the supper. , SPRING ON THE WAY That spring is fast approaching is evidenced by the fact that a great many of the trees are putting forth their buds and come few flowers are beginning to show their green folige.k Most noticeable of any of the budding trees it a Japanese magnolia located front of William Sultan's redisence on Pollock street. Not only has the tree put forth its leaves but it Is i n full bllom and its appearance is very unus ual and attractive. There was a light fall of snow in this city last evening between seven and eight o'clock. Following this the rain began to fall and so cold was it that a a thin coating of ice was formed in many of the points most expjsed. Dr. T. L. Casscrly of Washington, N.

He addressed the business men of Elizabeth City and Edenton on Thursday and Friday nights of last week and will continue down the coast from New Bern on his present trip as far as Savannah. "The feeling that the railroads of the State are exacting excessive tolls upon trafhe," said Captain Davenny, "ha: focused the attention of the citizens o North Carolina upon the subject of transportation. J he cities situated upon navigable water courses are alive to the advantages t hay enjoy, and should be deeply interested in every movement which has for ito object the widening of streams, and the deepening of chan nels Few communities along the At lantic seaboard are more favorably situated to reap real benefits from the development of the Inland Waterway, projected between Boston and Beaufort Inlet, v than New Bern. Her present prosperity is wedded to the present waterway improvements and a deeper channel both north and south, will ma terially increase the advantage, she now enjoys." "I arti glad," said Captain Davenny, to come to the home of Senator Sim mons wno nas contriDutea in sucn a substantial way to the pioneer advance ment of the intra-coastal project, as the successful promoter in Congress of the Adams Creek Canal, and the creation of a deeper and better .water route in the first link in the ambitious plan that is to link the -inland water courses into a comprehensive and use ful system."

NO CUT RATES SEEM IN SIGHT Exprei People Not a Bit Worried Over Introduction of New Postal Wrinkle. Accordiug to a statement made yes terday by Z. V. Taylor, manager of the local office of the Southern Express t-Company, the new parcel post law has not in the least affected the business of this office. Mr. Taylor says that his records show that during the past three weeks there has been a greater number of package.-, sent from and received in the local office than there was durintt the same period in 112. When asked if he thoutght I he Sout hern Express Company would cut their rales, he replied tii.it In had received no information from hcadq uarlers in regard lo anv sm h proposed action and that he did noi believe that such would be dime. "At times," said Mr. Taylor, "it i almost impossible for us to handle tile amount of business with which we are favored. Especially is this true when there are unusually large shipments of fish and also on numerous occasions during the trucking season." Contin uing, he said: "If the company lower its rates it will cause congestion in the handling of shipments which will cause cause great loss to both the company and the shipper. The parcel post law is not hurting us because it has created a new class of business and a class wc oould not afford to handle." Records kept at the local postoffice show that rrtorc than eight hundred packages have" been received here via the parcel post route and more than a thousand . have been sent out since January 1, 1913. Richmond has 1.400 cases of measles, but something is always breaking out in that town.

' This One of the Live Questions Be ing Considered by the General Assembly MATTER BEING DEBATED HERE Strong Article Written In Behalf of Such a Law by Mt. Olive Citizen. A live question before the General Assembly and one which is of great im portance all over the State is that of the proposed Statewide stock law. Keen interest is felt here and there are many New Bern people who believe that such a law would be of great benefit lo the Stall-. One of those anxious to see the Legislature pass such a law hands us lor publication the following written lo the Raleigh News anil Observer bv H. .. illianison of Ml. Olive. "To the "fcditor: This letter is in tended especially for ccry member ol the General Assembly now in ses sion, each one ol whom I (rust will read il c.irel ully. "It is my candid opinion that a Stale Wide Slock Law lor North Carolina would benefit the people at large more t han any law yon i a n i ikh I for our St ate designed to benefit all ihe people of North Carolina. "1 know by experience, wheie lin stock la.w has been in operation for a good many years the farmers ha venture pork to sell and they have better stock. The stock law eliminates poor, scrubby stock, and also eliminates the usual strife and trouble occasioned by poor fences and mischievous stock getting into neighbors' fields and causing strife and often lawsuits over some old mis chievous cow or hog. " As a matter of common justice, is it right for the man who pays out money for a farm to have to put a fence around it to keep out other neighbors' st ock? "No; I say it is not right. Every man who owns stock of any kind should be responsible lor his own stock and should not be allowed to let them run at large, and a State wide stock law would reduce the fence tax at least 50 per cent. "About two-thirds of our State now has a stock law. ' A great many coun ties in the State bought and paid for thousands of yards of wire fences. All this could be moved and used at the most definite points on the outside bor ders of the State and wc could .avoid using any fence at all on the borders of the coast and along large rivers. By doing this the cost will he very small and in two years our fence tax would be reduced fully one-half, and gates, all over the country, would lie at an end. Hundreds of our small towns, under the present system, are compelled to have a fence around them like unto a hog pot. "Now gentlemen of the General As sembly, if ypu will pass this law you will have enacted one of the most needed measures in our State, and you will re ceive praise fron the mountains to the sea at the hands of 90 per cent of the peo ple of North Carolina. "I trust every editor who ay see this article wiM copy the same in his paper and help td pass along the good work. 'In addition to the above, don't for- gethe dog law to protect the lives of the ffeople from so many worthless curs going mad and causing so miJch trouble cost and pains in our land. "Besides a good dog law woudl add a million dollars in tax to pur Treasury or else Would curtail a nirmbei' of worth less dogs.' NEW ADVERTISEMENTS Mrs. B. Allen Coat Suits and Coats to close out.
