GOOD SUP t -l t Voter" Say a Word or Two (That Is, He Calls It a Word or Two) on Subject. , REPLIES TO ANOTHER WRITER jBdieve It Would Be An Unpar donable Sin For Legislature To Enact the Law. Vr. Editor. Will you please allow me space in your valued columns to say a word or ta in reply to the article signed ""Farmer and limited Stock Raiser", who believes that the thinking people t& the State are in favor of the State Aide Stock Law. I believe that the thinking people t the State are in favor of an unlimited stock-raising. The thinking people cf our State believe in following the advice of United States Department Agriculture; and growing all the stock we can. We don't believe in abutting our cow up in some small tot, starve her half to death, and when she is milked you could gee her poor jib-bones in the cream. I don't know what kind of stock our .esteemed writer has; he may have some other man's cow borrowed for all I know, if so that's why he is a limited "Stock-Raiser". Oar writer says he can understand -why some of us oppose the "State Wide .'Stock Law", because we do not think it would be popular with some of our 'voters. We do not scare whether or not we please the voters at all,we are for saving the great forest of which we have sev eral thousands of acres that "The Great .-God of Heaven" prepared for one and all for the grazing of unlimited atnclc 1 hope that our honorable body of ;.' the Legislature now in session, will v' not attempt to take away the forest ? . -which God hath prepared for unlimited ; -stock grazing. I believe that it would s. he an almost unpardonable, sin to pass ' - -rsuch an act. " And, I further hope that our Legis lature will examine themselves thor- - oughly before they enact such a law. '. ' tientlemen, please think for a minute lefore. acting. Do you thin'cthat God d Heaven limited the Prophets of 'y ildl? Do you think that he only al lowed them a certain fixed number rV, k of sheep, cows, or asses? Then if God didn't limit the people of that day, why should we be limited in this day? is 1 1 understand the manner of our !"!... writer, he must be a very selfish man ' indeed. If I understand his sentiments he don't want the other man's cows to bite his grass neither does he want the other man's hogs to root up a worm from, t he earth with its nose while the , poor long nosed "critter" is only ex ercising his nature "which God gave um." Now our writer is going to i. lake that nature away from him. I would like to sea some of our . if ' "writetit stock from which he has ex T tcacted that nature. I imagine they ' are beauties. : Again, our esteemed writer says that at the present we are compelled to fence our farms, and let the stock loose. "Well, that's what the Lord intended us l do. And further if o ir esteemed -writer's farm is not worth fencing, let him tear Jus fence away and let it all I believe that, if a number of our ssupposed-to-be farmers would use the t jaoney with which they are purchasing v,'i : automobiles and building Great Highways, and :se just cne-half of it in ditching; and fencing their farms there ' .1 t would be- more corn, hogs and cattle, sod it WGukl lessen the high Lost of Living" vtiicn exists in our country today.

The greatest problem confronting the farmers of this section is the im pending danger, of the fence law, or better known as the no stock law. -The majority of the poeple hope that the Legislature will not enact such a law against the people of this State. Such a law would ruin the farmers of Cart eret county as not more than five per cent, of the land is leared and the cattle could not graze in" the marshes where theree is nothing but weeds. The majority of the people in this section are farmers and have been making good use of the fine weather which has recently prevailed prepar ing their lands for another crop. vQuite a number of our citizens in tend visiting the capital city nest week and attend the inauguration exercises. Mrs. C. H. Garner, who has been ill for some time is rapidly improving under the skilful treatment of Dr. J. W. Sanders. Miss Carey Tippett and brother, Bert, of Croatan are visiting relatives here this-eek. E. Mundane and son Ernest spent last Wednesday at Hubert attending to business. WILL STUDY BOOK OF R2V. MR. PHILIIPS TO PREACH SERIES OF SERMONS ON THIS SUBJECT. Rev. J. B. Phillips, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, will begin a series of sermons tomorrow morning in his church on "Christ's Messages to the Churches of Asia Minor". The series consists of seven addresses which are studies of the book of "The Revela tions." All Christians will find this a profitable study and are' invited to attend and bring their Bibles. I he subject at the evening service will be "Sin and its Antidote" This will close Mr. Phillips' addresses on sin. It was announced last Sunday that Dr. Waueh would preach at the morn ing hour tomorrow but on account of illness he had to decline. So the pastor will , preach instead as above stated. . The public at large are cordially invited to both services and strangers will 4e made to feel at home. "3 !

' ' But it is not wise to. deprive every man in the State of the opportunity of grazing in the forests' of which there are hundreds of thnunandn of acres. . t ' - It is to be hoped that our Legislature will .act for the betterment of , their people, and let the man who wants to limit his stock do so, we surely do not care. But l?t us continue to graze our hogs, cows arid sheep on the large mss rangqs, and reed marshes, as we nlways have. vvtiiK.

II DECEIVED HI THE SYSTEM FOOLED INTO ATTENDING PO LICE LIEUTENANTS BAN QUET IN NEW YORK. New York. Feb. 28. President Taft was "fooled by the system" into at tending the recent police lieutenant's bairauet in- New York, in the opinion of former Mayor Geo. B. AtcUtHan, Mr. McLlellan expressed this view in testifvintr todav before the executive committee for remedial police legisla-1 tion. The witnesses said that during hit administration six years ago, the sys tem was so strongly entrenched that on one occasion he could find b Jt one police man who would tell the trith. Today Mr. McClellan thought the rank and file of the men were more honest than dishonest. The reverse was true, he thoueht. anions the officers. "The svstem fooled even the" Presi dent of the .United States the other dav. he said; "when it induced him and the police commissioners to at tend a dinner It at turned out to De a ratification meeting for a wretched crook now under Indictment."

PROHIBITING CLAUSE KILLED Now If City Even Wants to Sell There Will Be Nothing In Charter to Prevent. State Senator A. D. Ward yesterday introduced a bill in the Legislature whfch.is of much intered to the people of New BefJi. This bill amends the charter of the city to the extent of striking out a clause relative to the water apd light' plant which would prohibit the sale of this orooertv if the citizens stfCflesired. In an amendment made to the charter of the city in 1905 there was a clause which specified that if at any time the water and light plant was sold, the purchaser would be compelled to give bond in the sum of fifty thou sand dollars to construct and operate a street car line five miles in length in the city of New Bern. - Recently there has been a great deal of talk about the city disposing of this plant to some individual or company Whether this will eventually be done is at present only a matter of specula tion but this clause in the amendment made in 1905 would have put a Quietus on anysucji sale had the city desired iu kxiwc ami, aiiiuii jn dcuuill Ul me fact that there is a street car line already in operation.

Famous Composer Dramatizes Pop ular Book. Play Here Soon. A. G. Delamater, who prides him self upon being a producer of clean plays, was asked in a recent interview how the idea occurred to him to dram itize "FRECKLES?" He replied. "that he had asked his twelve vear old niece which was the best book in her Sunday School library; she unhes itatingly replied "FRECKLES". Then he asked her to tell what the story was about, as it apparently had made a deep impression upon her, and she gave such a vivid and interesting synopsis, that he became interested and bought a copy of the book at the first opportunity, and after reading it carefully, believed that "FRECK LES" the plucky waif who guards the Limberlost timber leases, and dreams of Angels, is a character destined 'to live forever in American fiction, and become one of the best loved heroes that has ever appeared in a story or upon the stage. that his judgment was right is proven by the fact tha . aviu a nan a mil lion copies as a book and been greeted by crowded houses wherever the play has been presented, it will be seen at the Masonic theatre March 10.
