X''C li Several week ago we sent out seven
' letter to various men and women in
New Bera asking for opinions as to
What a Hisrh. School araudate should
!' , a t !v la 4n I In tn Har
uvw mm! .w r
stave received three answers whkh
mans one of two things either the
xjoestion is very difficult to answer or
there fa little interest in what and how
, we teach in the school. Letter No. 1.
A High School, graduate should be
able to enter the State University
without condition. The tax payers
who desire to send their children to
college, should not be compelled to
have them take a course away from
home preparatory to entering college.
"Should a child desire to enter busi
ness, he would have sufficient grounding
o enable him to h'andle any of the prob
lems which come up in an ordinary
business career, if your curriculum
equals the entrance examinations re
quired by the best colleges, otherwise,
lie would not." '
This letter gives two clear answers
o the question. This gentleman's
(Opinion coincides, in the main, with the
ideas and plans of those in charge of
our High School at present and in
cidentally this opinion is about the
same as the recent report of a com
mittee of experts of the National Edu
cation Association. With one more
year io High School in which a practi
cal business course including steno-
rfellf igraphy. book-keeping and typewriting
'j snail be taugnt to tnose aesiring sucn
;l:a course, and all the entrance require-
:',. anejits for college entrance be given
; those who plan further study, we
! itfhink the school will be meeting the
,Vi73", needs of the majority of the pupils
. i yilv'!1 and the public in general.
; 'A'iPifJh -Letter No. 2. "Replying to your
;, jrtcent favor in regard to my idea of
;SKnat a High School graudate should
!.fsj lata and be able to do, will state that
j '"S i J think every parent that allows their
i Bfcoy or girl to go through the High
'j -. School to be prepared for college, with
.ff'l.-the .idea of sendng them to college,
." is able to pay for the preparatory school
t that they may enter college
I "t I think, therfore, that our High

USE RADIUM FOR
DP
$2,500 WORTH INJECTED INTO
THE LIVER OF MAL
COLM WATSON.
PhiladelDhia. April 4. Physicians
in this citv will watch with interest the
result of an injection of one three-hun-
fdredths of an ounce of radium into the
liver of Malcolm Watson, as a cure for
cancer.
The operation was performed in
the Methodist Epicopal Hospital by
Dr. G. J. Schwartz. The radium was
brought to Philadelphia by Fr. Otto
Brill, an Austrian chemist, now" living
Pittsburgh.
The dose Dut into Watson's liver was
worth iust $2,500. It is believed that
the radium rays will act 6n the cancer
as they do on a number of diseases
and gradually kill it. Several pro-
minent medical men witnessed the
operation, the only anasethetic used I
was a local application of cocaine.
It may be difficult for you to believe I
that the world will go on just the same
after your demise but it will.

Mr. Royall's Board street plant al
ready has a capacity of three hundred
gallons a day, but the demand for the
product is so good in this section that
the. new cennpany will without delay
nlarge the plant so that no longer will
be necessary to send to Richmond,
Bal.imore and Norfolk to get ice
cream to meet the demand. It "will
be the plan of the new company o
solicit the ice cream trade of not only
all the retail establishments here but
also of the places in the nearby towns.
In connection with the ice cream
factory will be a cold storage pldnt,
something else that with a little at
tention and advertising will, it i3 be-
eved by Mr. Royall and those asso
ciated with, him in his new enterprise,
meet a real need here and prove a
profitable venture.
Every summer whosleale merchants
here have to send to Richmond per-
shable atricles in order to place the,
ishable articles in order to place them
in cold storgae and prefect them from
being polied by the heat. The pro
moters of the new enterprise hold that
this business had better be kept in'
New Bern than given to some other
city.
Following the development and su-
cessful opeartion of the enlarged ice
crean factory and cold storage plant,
the same company plans the erection
of a candy factory. 1 v

Mr. Hamlin reports the Land of Flow
ers as blooming and blooming. He
has spent, the winter in beginning the
development of Indian Rocks, a famous
pot on both bay and gulf,, not far
from St. Petersburg and Tampa in
fact, the logical point for Tampa's
eashore resort. It had been known
for years as one of the beauty spots of
the Gulf coast, but had never been on
the market till Mr. Hamlin went down
there last winter, had the shore front
subdivided and placed lots on sale.
He is very enthusiastic, about Pinellas

Examination of Witnesses Being
Carried Forward Behind
Closed Door.
Washington, April 4. Did Theo
dore Roosevelt" while President, drink
intoxicating liquors and if so to what
extent? This question came before an
examiner in this city who is assisting in
preparing the record in the case of
Theodore Roosevelt against A. W.
Newitt, editor of Iron Ore Age of Ish
peming, Mich:
Editor Newitt, in the last campaign,
charged in his paper that Mr.- Roose
velt had indulged too frequently in
intoxicants. The Colonel sued foil
libel, characterizing the story as a
malicious falsehood. He employed
James H. Pound, a noted lawyer of
Detroit, to take charge of his case.
The newspaper editor retained Oscar
Andrews, a lawyer of Cleveland.
Messrs. Pound and Andrews have
been in Washington for the last two
days, hearing the testimony of witnesses
summoned in behalf of Col. Roosevelt.
Admiral Dewey, Gifford Pinchot and
other warm personal friends of Col.
Roosevelt have appeared before the
examiner as "character witnesses."
The proceedings, carried forward be
hind closed doors, are being kept secret
by agreement. The case will be heard
before Judge Flanagan in Michigan irt
May.
Testimony in the case was taken in
New York a short time ago. There
was the same degree of secrecy. It h
said that Silas McBee, editor of the
Churchman, was one of those who ap
peared on behalf of Col. Roosevelt.
Dr. McBee was in the party accom
panying he Lord Bishop of London
to this city when he visited President
Roosevelt at the White House. The
doctor was a spectator at the tennis
match between the President and the
Lord Bishop.
